The Vampire Cross

8

Cassius's group started to fight against the all-female group. The tension between the two groups showed quickly as every member of the group was ready. Cassius didn't think it was possible, but it seems like the students took the fights seriously, so he decided to stay in the back. On the corner of his eye, Cassius was able to see how Lilith performed since it seemed a lot of screaming and running happened on her side of the field.

Cassius' eyes widen as he saw that Lilith wasn't sweating, nor did it seem like she took out much energy to defeat her opponents; all it took was a quick dodge and a kick, and they were defeated. She moved with grace keeping her hands behind her back mostly and kicked her opponents like she was handicapping herself. Her hair danced along with her as some students were also observing glances quickly at her while she fought. Cassius didn't know, but whenever Lilith could, she stole glances at Cassius and noticed him staring at her, she smirked, and she swiftly dodged more, putting on a perfect show for him. Without another minute, her opponents were all conquered.

Lilith's enemy group struggled to get up, and they bowed there head at her as though proving she was not only the victor but demonstrating she was the dominant one here.

"Hey, you, focus on this match." A girl from the opposite team of Cassius said.

Cassius turned and saw a female girl as her fairy wings were out, and there were vines in her hair, holding it up. She got her stance ready.

Cassius didn't know what to do, but he copied her stance; he would try to mimic what he also has seen from action movies. But the moment she pushed off from the ground, Cassius didn't move quickly enough, and he got punched in the gut, then a kick to the side, which made him fall as a result. Cassius kept the yelling in as he struggled to get up, but it seemed like the fairy wasn't giving him breathing room, and she kicked him again, and he flew a couple of inches away. She walked forward up at him confident; it showed in the way she moved how she rendered him hopeless, and it was obvious she won. Cassius wondered if this was his punishment for talking back to his mother earlier this morning. It seemed like it.

"You won fairy."

She stopped and looked over him. "Yes, I did. And the name's Waterbell, not fairy. Your dick." She said, then turned away. Cassius then remembered he wasn't supposed to announce the names of the species of the student's, he sighed, and he had a feeling he was going to wake up to bruises soon.

The class was finally over, and now it was time for math class. The class was mostly filled with student who barely talked, which Cassius was okay with, and school was finally over.

Lilith was in her math class bored. She paid attention to her work, making sure to write all of her notes down, but all of what she was learning, she knew it by heart. She wanted to sigh but kept it in, as she still maintained her perfect student image. She was thankfully next to the window as she looked outside for a quick second. But then that's when she could sense her butler, Conner. Conner was usually in charge of her safety or reporting back to her father in how well she did in school; even though Conner believed he was sneaky enough not to be detected by Lilith, she knew all too well. Afterall he used the same spots to hide and spy on Lilith. She went back to focusing on her work and felt a text coming from her phone, which was on silent. She wouldn't check it now.

The teacher finished her first lesson and allowed everyone to work on a worksheet. Once the teacher sat down, there were already three students around Lilith that turned her direction.

"President, do you think you can help me with this problem?" The girl in front of Lilith, Sam, asked.

"I need help too, but I was also wondering, do you think we can go shopping for clothes again? It seems that the coat you got me was just too small." The girl next to Lilith, Amy said.

"That's because your probably just to fat." The girl behind Lilith, Barbell, said.

"No, I'm not, I'll have you know that I lost weight, thank you very much," Amy said defensibly.

They're trying to use me again so that I can purchase their goods again. What a load of crap this is for me, Lilith thought. She just smiled and took out her phone to check her message. It was a message from her second oldest sister, Kia. Lilith is the eldest. The message from Kia read: Just you wait, sweet sister, there is going to be a surprise visit to check up on you, in school.

Lilith put her phone immediately in her pocket and felt like crushing it. Great, just what I needed. "I can help you with math problems. However, I don't think I'll be able to be free after school. Afterall as I said before, my parents are pretty strict about where and when I can go somewhere." Lilith said to the three girls.

Amy looked displeased, but then smiled politely. "Well, don't worry about it; after all, you are a very important monster, so I bet you have many things on your plate. But the moment you do have a free day, let's all go somewhere."

"Yeah, I agree. " Sam thought smiling, just like Barbell. Even though all of there smiles were aimed at Lilith, Lilith didn't even need to have her gift to know how they felt, disappointed, envious and frustrated. They were already over Lilith, and they just went back on their math sheets. Not once asking Lilith for help for the rest of the day.

How much of this fakeness can be entered in someone's life? Lilith felt a cold metal in the pocket of her jeans, and when she touched it, her thought was of Cassius. She closed her eyes for a second and thought of him, which brought a genuine smile to her face. He didn't lie to her. It was only a matter of time until he did like everyone else around Lilith.

"Time to go home, I can't wait," Cassiusto himself outside of his class. Cassius saw the students exit out of the class as Cassius proceeded to walk down the hallway. He went downstairs in the A building as he walked to his locker and put his books away. Even though he had homework, he tried doing the majority of it in his class, but it was no use. He wished he had a tutor. Then a thought occurred to him about the magic club being next to the student council class. Even though he was friends with Lilith, it wouldn't also hurt to kill two birds with one stone. Cassius couldn't help but look around the hallway for any chance of Skylar. Even the thought of Skylar seemed to unsettle him, but he walked out of the A building. He could still remember Lilith telling him how the class went in a clockwise position, and he just turned right to get to the D building. There were lots of students entering the D building already as though their school wasn't over, and there was still another class. Cassius couldn't help but see a student show off their magic and summon a large fireball in front of four of their friends as another one looked cocky and turned off the fire due to snow landing on the fire summoners hand. Other students flew home, and there again was the pegasus in flight. Cassius had just to take a second to appreciate the fantastic horses flying and pulling the carriages and flew student home. Why couldn't I have an ability, Cassius thought.

If only he could just be a vampire all together without having to share it with someone else. Cassius shook his head as he proceeded to walk. He couldn't have thoughts like this. He was a human, and what he needed was to go to the human world. Back to his old school, and see his human friends. Cassius did miss his two friends dearly; they would spend most of the after school together, but now that he was here. He just needed to start from scratch. The idea sounded tired, and he knew he was going to discuss it with his mom to go back. Cassius opened the doors to the D building and walked inside.
