The Private Academy: Lumity story

27. baby bat days are the hardest.. and the cutest..

"Luzes palisman Hermes has imprinted on luz and amity thus their blood makes them- in a sense- a biological "child" of the two. And since they've imprinted, luz and amity both most likely understand their squeaks as English.. and based upon that honestly adorable scene.. they've hit terrible twos and need all the attention they can forcibly get.. though something isn't adding up- palismans don't "grow up" like real children.. I don't think hermes was made out of palastor wood"

Bri nods slowly understanding the explanation, and confusion of why they were one two months ago but two today, looking up at the clock I see that class is almost here. Looking at Hermes hidden underneath my collar I pull the strap of my sidebag over my shoulder and carefully head to AP chemistry, jumping as their ears pick up the loud classrooms chatter, putting my finger to my lips discreetly as they look at me startled they relax to my calm demeanor. Feeding them apple chunks in a way that makes it seem like I'm just lowering my hand, they nibble on each piece gratefully. Opening my computer their eyes pop over my sweaters collar to look at the screen, popping out to 'StuChatEDU'- a website where students can make chats or groups and freely talk-   I text amity

'I think they like class honey..'

Patting my collarbone I see them point discreetly at the screen and speak in a pitch unreadable to the human ear

'Who's that?'

Typing into the text bar 'mama'- since amity has inherited that and I'm 'mami'-  they look over at amity two seats up on the adjacent row who smiles at them, receiving a reply saying

'I think they like your apple slices more than class kitten'

Chuckling I shut my computer and go back to feeding them apple chunks.

Sitting on my lap in the lunch room raven and amity block my sides, while naomi, vee, and bri take front making sure no one sees them, looking away from them for just a moment I look down at them to see them finishing off my milk, gasping in a quiet manner I say in a whisper

"You little stinker, you just finished a chocolate milk and my pizza two minutes ago"

They flash a toothy smile at me, but the smile ends as they burp then let out a squeaky groan, obviously having over ate. Slipping into my sweater again they hide themself underneath the collar, and fall asleep to settle down their stomach. Walking up to the common room after sixth hour I slug my way up to my dorm with amity, sliding out of my sweater to go curl up on the pillow I'd set up for them. Laying on amity's front I hug her waist and smile, her beautiful gold eyes shimmering at me. Kissing her lovingly I smile into the kiss, slipping my arms to her neck I part from her. Resting my head on her collarbone I look at hermes, my expression falls, sitting up I look at hermes' sleeping face again

"What if.. hermes isn't made out of palastor wood? It did seem too light to be the palisman hardwood.."

Rubbing my temples confused I look at amity, she chuckles lovingly and pulls me into a tight embrace.

"So what? They can turn into a human and I wouldn't have cared"

She murmurs quietly into my ear, sighing with a soft 'mmh' I lean gently against her. Picking up hermes into my arms they grumble slightly, looking up at me they blink slowly

"Oh shush it you.. it's barely three forty"

Letting out a purry giggle they say in a few clicks and chirps,

'You smell like cheap cologne'

Amity laughs at their response and hides her face in my shoulder, gasping half offended I reply

"It was designer- vanilla is a nice scent"

They shake their head gently and reply

'Not yours.. yours smells nice- venvens doesn't..'
