Chapter 88

Cloudcrest High School was a half-hour drive from Baker Manor.

Percival drove like a bat out of hell. Fortunately, the streets were pretty chill at that time, so they made it in fifteen minutes.

When Vivienne arrived, Clara and Bertha were pacing like caged animals.

As soon as Clara saw Vivienne, she rushed up to her, “Vivienne, you’re finally here. You need to go check on her. The family doctor is already upstairs. Faye stopped convulsing, but she’s burning up and unconscious.
