Fallen Swords Academy

Chapter 6: This Vampire Is Paranoid As Fudge

-Ren Santos-

I stepped out into the hall halfway through the headmaster's boring and slightly repetitive speech he gives every year. I stretched my arms behind my head, and started wandering around the school with no destination in mind. Just needed some time by myself without being surrounded by all those oblivious idiots who just smiled and nodded taking everything in like a herd of cattle without questioning anything just content as long as they lived in comfort. If I were a kinder hearted person I would pity them, but that would just be such a waste of energy and effort on my part.

Keep a bird captured in a beautiful enough cage, and it will no longer seek freedom. It would rather embrace an illusion than its own cruel but true reality.

How terribly sad.

I finally stopped when I neared a window on the fourth floor; it overlooked the grounds and farther off I saw the vast ocean that encircled the island that this academy was built on. The water's surface was at a lax standstill as it reflected the sun's light. I guess it was too early in the year to ask for harsh winds that would animate the water into a ferocious, chaotic dance.

"Ren? What are you doing here?" Puck's voice called out from behind me sounding concerned.

What was I doing here? I asked myself.

I inwardly smiled as I answered myself, Wishing for a storm to tear away the doors.

Well look at me being poetic, who knew I still had it in me.

I didn't answer him though, I merely kept my eyes settled outside watching everything yet nothing at all.

"You know if you don't answer you're just gonna make me do things like this," He wrapped his arms around my waist and just held me close. I froze up in surprise but I didn't push him away. Although if he did anything else, I would throw him out the window without a second thought. Maybe, I'd feel bad about it later, maybe.

"Go away." I muttered when he rested his head on my shoulder.

"No."

My left eye twitched a little in annoyance, as I thought about a hundred different ways to murder him. I wouldn't go through with it, but I could still dream.

I felt a sting on my neck,"Ow."

The hell? Did he just bite me?

I glared down at him while he just gave me this mischievous smirk. No, screw the dreaming I'm going to murder him dead.

He pulled away from my reach as my arm went sailing to where his face had originally been just a second earlier.

"What did I tell you about biting me?!" I growled while trying to keep my emotions under control.

"I don't remember," He shrugged innocently."Why don't you tell me, my little demon?

Nope, I'm not falling for that trap again. Hell fucking no.

"You know what I don't care, I'm going." I started walking away from him but he just kept following me like a lovesick puppy. In no time he was already at my side with that annoying fool of a grin on his face.

"How long are you gonna keep following me?"

"I would say until my last breath, but I'd haunt you even in death."

"Is that suppose to be romantic and making me feel all giddy inside?"

"No, just a heads up. Why was it working?" He wiggled his eyebrows.
