Shadows by Twilight

“Hey, wait up.” I ran after them trying to stop them. I pulled them by their arm and finally made them stop. 

“Azrael, please let me explain.” 

“Explain what? That you and the guys lied to us? You could have at least told me the truth. If my sister finds out, just prepare yourself.” He was about to walk away and I stepped in front of him.  

“Listen I get it. But there is something bigger here than this. As you heard Seoho and some of the guys are Dark Vampires. But we aren’t our parents, they have a feud with each other and we are trying to live peacefully. Well, so I thought so.” Azrael looked at me confused, “I think Seoho wants your sister.”

“Well, when she finds out he won’t have a chance.” 

I shook my head, “No he wants her, by any means possible. Your sister has some darkness in her and I get why. Seoho is using that to his advantage, you guys are powerful beings. So, imagine if Seoho convinces her to side with him, she’ll become his Dark Queen. If that happens there is no turning back for her. Seoho is smarter than you think.”

We looked at each other for a while, he was thinking if he could trust me. He looked away and back at me, “What can we do?” I smiled at his decision. I won’t let Seoho take her.

When I woke up I was in the nurse’s office, Seoho was sleeping on a chair next to my bed. I got out of the bed and slowly approached him. He had hair covering his eyes, I moved it away slowly not trying to wake him up. 

“Do I look handsome like this.” 

I looked down and saw him looking at me with a smirk. I contemplated a little before getting up and sitting on the bed. “Uh, what happened to me?” 

“Oh.” He smirked, “You kissed me.” He winked and blew a kiss my way. 

I wiped the invisible kiss away, “I’m serious, Seoho.”   

He chuckled, “Okay, okay. You got a new power, but this one was strong it took you over completely.”

I facepalmed my face, “Great. Another thing to learn and to control.” I pouted and looked at him. “I don’t want to go back to class.” 

Seoho got up excitedly, “Let’s get out of here then. We can get some pizza and go to my house. I’ll show you a trick.” He winked. 

I smiled and nodded. We got out of the nurse’s office, got our things from our lockers and went through the back.  

We arrived at a pizzeria and found a nice seat by the window. Seoho order for us and told me that there was a special drink here that I would like. While we waited for our food to come, I received a text from my brother. 

Where are you? - Azie

I left.

Where, Izora? I came back and didn't see you here. You should rest. Where are you, I'll pick you up. - Azie

Doing worry. I'll be fine. I just need some air. 

I turned off my phone and the waiter came back with our pie and drinks. He placed a peach color looking drink in front of me. I looked at Seoho in surprised, he motioned me to try it. I took a sip and my eyes started twinkling. 

“Peach?” I looked at him happily. 

He nodded, “It’s a peach milkshake with a pinch of honey and vanilla. I knew you would like it.” He gave me such a sweet smile. I think I wouldn’t mind having him around.

I received a text from Seoho that he and Izora are going to our place, and not to tell the others. Ravn was sleeping at his desk, I got up and walked over to him. I laid my head next to his and poked his cheek.

“Why do you look cute when you sleep?”

I saw his lips curl up into a smile. I got up quickly, but he pulled me down and hugged me tightly. 

“I look cute, huh. Should we go home early?” He winked at me. 

I felt my face heating up, I cleared my throat, “We can’t, Seo is going to be there with Izora.” He raised an eyebrow. 

“Why do I feel like we will have a new member on our side?” Ravn said.

“Well, I don’t mind. I think Izora is nice once she opens up. But we can’t tell the rest of the guys.” Ravn nodded cutely and hugged me more. 

“I’m going to sleep here like this. No, I got a better idea.” He got up and threw me over his shoulder. 

“Hey! Are you crazy! Put me down.” He ignored me and walked out of the classroom. The art room! That’s where we’re going. I started kicking trying to get him to let me go, but it didn’t work. 

Just them Keon, Azrael, and Xion came up to us. “Do you know where Seoho and Izora went,” Keon asked us. Sadly, I couldn’t answer since my butt was facing them. 

“Nope. He just told us he was leaving and that’s it.” Ravn responded. 

“You’re kidding right?” Leedo looked over suspiciously. 

“Why do we have to know everything he does? He’s a big boy, we don’t need to keep tabs on him. And now if you excuse us we have something to do.” He responded, and smacked my ass, with a serious look. He smirked and walked away from them. 

“I’m sorry guys,” I said and waved goodbye to them.
