Chapter 12 - The metallic taste of blood

"I'm not going to repeat myself" damien swung his legs forward then backward playfully. the girls paused looking up at him "this has no business to do with you. Vampire" the ringleader hissed. 

 letting out a breathy laugh "oh but it is my business when you hurt what belongs to me" he leaped from the branch clapping his hand to get rid of dust "so...I'm going to say this one more time, get out" he said walking to stand next to Camilla. "i see this bitch has really gone around" the ringleader cursed pulling back her leg to hit Emilia 

"I like when people don't listen" Damien whispered to Camilla giving her a wide smile. He sped towards the ringleader grabbing her raised leg bending it to the wrong side, "it makes watching them scream a lot more fun" krrrr...krrrr...kkk the sound of her leg breaking was loud enough for the two girls behind to fall back.

"arrghhhh.....arghhhh my leg" the ring leader fell to the ground writhing in pain 

"I did warn you but you didn't listen" he said turning to the other girls behind, a maniacal smile plastered on his face "should I give you a head start. I'll count to three and you run— one..." his smile becoming wider "two..." about to say three the girls bolted into the forest. Seeing them run he put his hands into his pockets raising his head "ahhh i love a good chase...angel girl you're not exempted but from this night on do not let me see your face" he said, turning his head slightly towards Camilla.

hearing this she turned leaving the ring leader and Emilia who had completely blacked out from pain. Bending on one knee, Damien grabbed the ringleader's face squeezing her jaws tightly "i will love more than anything to beat you till you loose twice the amount of blood she did—but alas I can't delay any longer, so i will leave you with this" saying that he dug his index and middle fingers into her sockets, hearing her scream in pain 'plop' her left eye fell into his fingers. squeezing his hands it burst causing liquid to splash on his face "urgh disgusting".

"you better get to the clinic to get your leg treated...oh I forgot—you're a werewolf, you can heal" saying that, he picked Emilia from the floor, walking away in high spirits. he looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms "I did warn, you didn't I?" 

reaching the open field. he walked towards Micheal who was standing in a dark corner gently lowering her into his arms "you're doing a bad job protecting your students. president, make sure she's fine the next time I see her" saying that he walked off.

Micheal looked down at Emilia, his gaze troubled "i shouldn't have left you alone...I'm sorry" he said. his hands starting to glow. A warm light enveloped her body. Opening up his wings he flew into the open sky.

Emilia woke up with her head banging painfully. Sitting up slowly, she looked around wandering where she was. glancing at the window next to her bed the memories of the previous night came pouring back in. She Clutched her tummy whipping her head towards Camilla's bed. she wasn't there. Why? She wanted to give that sorry excuse of a friend a piece of her mind. recalling Damien's words 'not every angel are good' what a vague way to warn her about Camilla. he could have just gone straight to the point, she thought, scowling.

"but he was right after all...maybe he's not so bad" pushing away the blanket over her, she stood up straight. not feeling the unbearable pain from last night. 'Who saved me though....' she squinted her eyes racking her brain 'was it Camilla...' no, it can't be her. recalling what she did to her made anger stir up inside her chest. she was never going to repeat the same mistake again,

"I see that you're recovering well' Damien's playful tone called out from behind her. he was walking out of the bathroom. wearing a black button up shirt with the same colored trousers. he strolled in like she was in his room, looking around to confirm, seeing she was in her room she turned to him with a questioning look "what are you doing here?"

"is that the thank you i get for saving your life?" he said looking pained.

saving her life? He was the one that saved who saved her 'oh no' she lamented foreseeing her impending doom, "you owe me your life now...kitten" Emilia glared at him, she wanted so bad to blame him for everything that happened to her, but he did save her life, "i'll forget you threatened me, lets call it even" hearing that Damien let out a cold laugh. Taking slow steps towards her "you really are bold for a human. Unfortunately, i refuse to call it even—unless you insist that I make you owe me" he said with a knowing smile

Was he threatening to put her in a life threatening situation just to get her to owe him. Emilia wanted to scoff. Opening her mouth she closed it too stunned to speak. she took back every good thing she thought about him.

"its time for me to leave...see you later kitten. Make sure you don't get yourself killed while I'm away" saying that, he leaped off her window.

watching him, the cold wind swept through her face "Crazy Vampire to think i can't keep myself alive, just stay out of my life!" Slamming the window shut, she walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Walking out of the shower, she put on her uniform. stepping out of her room. she took note of how bright the hallway looked, it wasn't bright enough to shake off the eeriness of the stoned walls and the fact they still used lamps but the lamps added to the previous empty spaces made it seem less depressing.

moving through the hallways. she intended to visit the library. It wasn't nighttime so it should be safe. it didn't take long for her to find the large double doors. Odd, why was it easy to find? the hallways weren't as eerie as before with the added lamps plus finding the library didn't take as long as she thought. Thinking about it for a bit, she shrugged walking towards the door for it to slowly open.

Startled she stepped back—she was never going to get used to magic. she thought to herself, walking into the library for the door to close behind her.
