Ava Sinclair's 3rd Chapter

   She lay beneath the sheets of her hard bed that had been provided for her. Had anyone pulled them back, they would have seen nothing. At all. She was shaking, from her hands to her toes. Her palms were sweating and she felt extremely nauseous.

Ava Sinclair...a voice whispered to her. Ava....
Why won't it stop!! She began to sob quietly, a thing she had learned to do. Clutching a copy of Don Juan to her chest she rolled over and threw the book. What was this feeling? Her stomach churned uneasily. No more...she thought.
    Throwing open the covers, and not caring who saw the nothingness moving things, she ran to her bookshelf. She was looking for guidance. A book, she thought, any book.... and upon doing this, the book case shook itself and a volume fell to the floor.
The Monster Academy Handbook? tossing open to a random page, one rule was in bold letters:

NO BOY OR GIRL IS TO HAVE A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WHILE AT THE ACADEMY. NO EXCUSES.

Gently, Ava's breath got hotter and ragged as the realization slowly crept over her. 

My heart is racing...pulse is running...my head is reeling...my face is flushing...my hands are sweating...my stomach's churning...Dear God....
