The Devil's Duo

Chapter 6

The entire class watched Raya’s supposed lifeless cold body on the floor still in a crouched position

“Guys, she’s still breathing, hear that faint heartbeat?” the youngest of them all which held not much hostility to Raya pointed out

Another chuckled then with a smirk, spoke ,suggesting something they never thought they would dare to do “what do you guys think about tearing her body to pieces right now, no one would notice and if they did, they wouldn’t care much?”

“well, we ae still baby vamps though and our fangs are barely….”the class nerd was saying but went mute at the end of the sentence when he felt glares on him.no one really believed in the terms of ‘baby vamp’ or rather, they didn’t like it

Someone cleared her throat in the distance, leaning against the class entrance door frame and everyone went mute to hear what she had to say

Mendel was not much of her talker, she hid her face behind a mask and a face cap all day but there was no doubt that between everyone in their class set, she was the smartest and the strongest so if she ever made a suggestion or said soothing, everyone, even the oldest bloodsucker listened

“Mendel.do you have anything to say about this?” one of the oldest vampire in their class set asked and the others listened with rapt attention as the wind blew by ,meanwhile Lukas finally done with his own class test which he failed woefully although he had been practicing with the teacher one on one. The vamp teacher had assured him that his powers will have to manifest some way or another soon and he should be prepared but in the mean time, he really should attend all classes, magic or nightcrawlers

The wind blew by and Mendel’s skirt danced to it, she took a breath in and spoke with her face and mouth still covered knowing everyone would hear anyways.

“Mother said never to take in the forbid den’s blood nor taste it. Its poison” she finally said and there were a few murmurs as some argued that they have actually heard this from their parents before although the theory was never proven, it still remained as no one ever dared .

“Well, Raya is quite the lucky abomination..” someone said with a scowl as he jumped down from the class window he had been sitting on silently all through

“Maybe not so lucky..” Another old vamp who was known to be quite the troublemaker spoke with a smirk, Mendel sighed and walked into the class, indifferent to whatever was going on

“Chris…you don’t mean that” another stated as Chris walked closer o Raya’s body, the smell of hostility was in the air as his fangs protruded from his teeth with ease in a flash, the youngers were struck with admiration forgetting what was about to happen while the older ones knowing they could never be able to stop Chris just watched

“Oh ,I mean more than that” Chris replied and in a flash, he was bent over Raya’s body with a smirk, he leaned down into her hair slowly and the others gasped

“So Raya ,how about you sleep till your death. Lets die together so I can kill you finally in hell” He said and was ready to sink his fangs in, lifting his head up with a smile to the heavens, he moved rapidly at top speed, his eyes closing slightly and he sunk his fangs deep in what he determined to be Raya’s flesh

The whole class set gasped loudly and even Charles himself couldn’t resist a look a fear as he opened his eyes because right there in front of him was none other than Lukas Grey, how he got there, no one really knew, he had walked right past them yet they couldn’t hear his footsteps, there was a few murmurs about that and the rest were busy in fear for what would happen to Chris now that he has dared to bite the king’s son, intentional or not

Chris removed his fangs which were sunk in Lukas’s wrist out and scrambled back , Lukas looked at him indifferently but something in his eyes seemed to scare even Chris who scrambled away ,and ran as fast as he could, Lukas turned his glare to the rest of the class behind him as if to accuse them of not defending Raya and they all walked away as fast as they could leaving him and Raya in the hallway.

Lukas groaned in pain as he stared at his bitten wrist, it was not so deep, but the force behind the fangs broke a few bones

“Ouch that hurts” he said to himself ad that was when Raya groaned in whatever trance she was in ,h eyes squinting and squeezing

“She is quite the intriguing one” he noted to himself with a smile then called out her name,an attempt to wake her up

“Raya..Raya..Raya” She could hear the voice calling out to her in the distance and immediately, she couldn’t see they girl with the flowing long hair and yellow eyes anymore, she was gone and she could feel herself reaching out for her

She felt someone hold her hand and she struggled to open her eyes only to see her self still crouched on the floor in the same position except her hands were no longer over her ears ,one was clenching her legs as hard and it could but relaxed its hold as the other was being held by someone else’s. It was a first time experience for her as she could never really say she has felt the warmth of someone’s hand before. Her stepfather’s hand was always cold when it met with her skin and it came with brutal force that left colored lumps of pain

She sniffed ,and took a breath in to stabilize herself

“Raya..” the voice called out again and this time, she could hear it clearly, it was a voice that she has deemed annoying and no matter how nice or warm it felt, she closed her eyes for a second, and the yanked her hand away from the prince who was looking down at her with a confused look and then returned the look to his wrist

Raya herself was confused at this action as she looked at his wrist which seemed quite fine to her

“It healed when I touched her?” Lukas thought in his head, staring at this girl who seem to be having quite the effect on him

“just who are you, Raya Corey?”
