I woke up earlier than usual and went to the Kynite forest bringing a couple of stuff like: My phone ( Coco says that your phone is a part of your body=_=), Off lotion made by Noelle and Rin, a first aid kit (for the the students)
I wore dark blue skinny jeans, a black tank top, black combat boots and fingerless long gloves that reach to my elbows (fighting gloves, yah)
This forest's name is weird...
I walked until I was in a meadow, far enough from the area that humans explore.
If we ever find this guy...
I'll tie rope on his leg and tie that rope to a truck and then I'll speed around town on top of that truck, screaming "Victory!!!"
Yeah...That's the plan... >:)
~¤~¤~
After standing there for a couple of minutes, I was able to detect movement from a nearby bush.
"Come on now, don't be shy" I said teasingly before smirking.
"So you came..." An all too familiar coice spoke. And I had to resist the urge to pluck out her eyeballs.
"Of course, I'd never turn down a challenge, Medusa" I said making sure that I emphasized the name 'Medusa'
"So you knew it was me?" Asudem asked curiously, not even a hint of shock which caused me to frown.
"So...How did you find out?" When she figured I wouldn't answer,she asked. Hellooo! I saw her follow that female student after the student ran away from me and besides, the handwriting on the note was super obvious!!!
I agree, miss subconscious
"Why did you do this?" I asked her, turning to face her.
"For art! Of course!" She announced proudly, spreading her arms wide to emphasize her point.
"What do you mean art?!" I asked, incredulously.
"Art lasts forever!!!" She screamed and then yhrew something towards me while saying "Catch"
I caught it and looked at it and my stomach twisted in knots. In the picture were all the missing students...They all had one similarity...They had all turned to stone. All of them had expressions filled with anger, sadness, and horror.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She said proudly. "Those wonderful expresions will laat forever!"
This woman is crazy!!!
"Art? You call this art?!" I yelled as I charge towards her.

Cassius' POV
The new school is huge!!! Somehow, I ended up in the forest at the back of the school. =_=
The school is that way...I think...Whatever, I'll just walk in one direction (A/N: Lol) and I'll end up back at school.
~¤~¤~
After a few hours later
I. GIVE. UP.
Dammit! Where the heck am I?! Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a girl's voice yell. I must be going crazy.
"Are you insane!!!" She screamed. Great, just great, I'm already hearing voices and now the voices insult me. I didn't even mean to get lost! Add insult to injury I guess.
Wait. Maybe I'm not hearing things and there are actually people here in the middle of nowhere. Should I follow it or not, follow, not, follow?
Guess, I have no choice...
In defeat, I walked towards the direction of the voices and couldn't believe what I saw.
There was a girl w/ silver-blond hair with her back faced to me and a woman in glasses with a bandana wrapped on her head which she was now removing.
They didn't notice me. So I did the thing a normal person would do. I hid. Behind a couple of trees.
A couple of seconds later, I realized, I made the right choice of not showing myself because...on...that...woman's head wasn't hair...it were snakes, small ones which I know are deadly since, when I was in grade school, the topic was the only thing I listened to in class.
There were about two dozen of them! The blondie had no chance against that...thing!
The blondie...let's just call her Ashley...for now...Charged towards...Medusa (Who wouldn't nickname a woman with snakes as hair after Medusa?)
My eyes widened. Is that girl trying to kill herself!? Because I think she is!
From a distance, I saw Ashley closed her eyes as Medusa removed her glasses. I gripped the branch of the tree I was holding onto tightly. Is she really thinking of fighting with her eyes closed?!
Medusa yelled some crazy, weird things about art and how she wanted to make Ashley into art, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
And so they fought, Ashley had gotten a pocketknife from her bag and used it as a weapon, using it skillfully, better than how street thugs use them...
Ashley is full of surprises, eh?
Ashley(with her eyes closed) swung the knife with speed as Medusa tried to evade her attacks and Medusa's snakes nipped at Ashley which she easily slashed at. It was so fast, I couldn't even see them!
They jumped away from each other. Both breathing heavily and then, I did something I would regret for the rest of my life...
I stepped on a fallen branch, making a crunching noise with my feet, instantly gaining the attention of Ashley, opening her eyes as she turned around to look in my direction.
Medusa took this as a chance to get something from the ground. It was a snake! I ran towards them to warn the girl but Medusa had already thrown the snake while yelling "I think you dropped something, Naereshcka!"
Naereshcka...so that's Ashley's name.
Naereshcka ducked out of the way just in time but I was behind her and the snake flew to me instead. I let out a shout.
Soon, I felt pain then my body went numb.
The last thing I saw was Naereshcka's purple eyes widening in shock.
Pretty eyes...
The hell! For all I know, I could be dying and all I could think of was that girl's pretty eyes, dammit! I must be going crazy!
Then, I blacked out.
~¤~¤~
Nae's POV
Oh God. Holy shit.
Why was there a human in this side of the forest!?!?!
I turned towards Medusa, knowing my eyes had already changed. The skies suddenly grew dark, matching my mood. I looked at her, straight in the eyes.
Medusa smiled triumphantly as she narrowed her eyes, trying to turn me to stone.
A few seconds passed as her smile turned into a frown.
"What's happening?!" She yelled, panicking.
"My eyes have the ability to make a person's power disappear" I announced as she backed away from me.
"As I thought," I said approaching her. "You are powerless without your eyes. "My eyes are stronger than your art" I saw her tremble in fear.
"So tell me, Where are the students?" I asked, behind those words, I was threatning her not to answer me.
"I-In the shed f-five miles west from here" She stuttered out, before I kneed her in the stomach, sending her flying a few feet away. "Know your place" I muttered before running rowards the boy.
My God, He's out cold.I made a check-up on him and became woozy with the results...He's going to die...I checked his outfit and figured he must be the new student.
Don't just sit here! Do something! He's dying!!!
But...t-there's nothing I-I can d-do...
I can't believe I'm being the mature one for once...Use your brain, child!!
~Flashback~
Little Nae's POV
"When a human gets wounded fatally, there are only two options for them," Daddy told me "You must remember this information, sweetheart. It may very well help you in the future, you ready?"
I nodded, my eyes looking determined. You see, I am the only one in the family that inherited daddy's powers, that's why he trains me so much.
"Yes, dad" I replied.
"The first option is their death, and the second option is to make them one of us." He said, gravely.
" How do you make a person become like us?" I asked him as he kissed my forehead, his touch leaving a warm sensation.
"After you drink most of the human's blood, make sure you don't finish it and kill him/her in the process, of course. You feed them your blood, be warned though, if the human isn't worth it, he/she would die because your blood rejected him/her" He answered.
"How do you-?"
"You'll know in time, Boo" He cut me off. "In time" He muttered before leaving me alone in my room.
~End of flashback~
Nae's POV
Drink his blood, huh? I pulled him closer to me and placed his neck right below my mouth.
I hesitated before biting the area where his neck and shoulder meet.
Then, his blood flowed into my system and then everything seemed so natural after that. I savored every drop of his blood like it was my last meal. I felt so strong, so...powerful, much more than before.
Hey, outer me, stop...right now...
I can't stop...
Outer!!! Control yourself!!!
I pulled away from the boy, gasping. My body moved, as if knowing what to do as I cut my wrist, using my pocketknife, drawing blood.
I quickly hovered my wrist above his mouth, the palm of my hand supporting his neck as I sat in a kneeling position.
"Drink" I said to myself as my blood fell inside his parted lips. I brushed his soft, brown hair away from his eyelids with my fingertips and a soft white flame spread through my arms.
Tears sprang to my eyes as I realized...He wasn't coming back. He wasn't worthy. He'd die because of me, because I messed up, again.
I choked back a sob, knowing sobbing wasn't something an Arcana would do...
When it comes to my emotions, I take after my mother a lot.
I backed away from him not wanting to see his face and quickly texted my brother, telling him where the students were.
No, I didn't tell him where I was...I don't want him to see me like this...Another person...died...because of me. I cried freely now, becoming a little girl again and wanting to be in my father's arms.
When was the last time I cried?
3rd Person's POV
Naereshcka Arcana broke down, sobbing, her face in her hands.
For that reason, she did did not notice as the boy stood up slowly and walked towards her.
"Hey, miss, Are you okay?" The unfamiliar voice asked her.
She stopped crying almost immediately. Not believing what she just heard thinking that it was her imagination and when she looks up, she'll see the boy dead, a couple of meters away from her.
She slowly looked up and her violet eyes stared into Sky blue orbs. Her eyes widened.
"You...You're...alive?" She said shakily.
