The Devil's Bride

Chapter 2

"I will give you a schedule and each of you will choose a class you wish to share with your sister. Once you all are in agreement, the rest of you may choose the rest of the classes that are to your liking." He informs as he hands them their uniforms and schedule.

"Thank you Mr. Dashiel." Vy bows her head to him.

"You've been very kind and very patient with us and for that I'm grateful. I do apologize for my sister's behavior though."

"There's no need to apologize Miss Vy. Their type of behavior is nothing new around here." He eyes Kru and Fabian then looks back at her.

"I trust you all can find your way around?" Vy nods once and so does he to her.

"Good. You all may leave now." He looks at Thalassa.

"Make sure they find their way out before you go back to class." She smiles and nods while Vy turns her head around like she's trying to face the other council members.

"It was very nice meeting you all gentlemen." She then turns to Rufus.

"And you as well Mr. Eames." He stares at her and grins.

"Call me Rufus. I certainly do hope that you and I will be able to meet again and have pleasant conversations with one another Miss Vy." She smiles more and closes her eyes.

"I look forward to it as well. Rufus." She then turns around and uses her cane to guide her as she walks away with the rest of her sisters and Thalassa.

But both Bellatrix and Summer give Fabian and Kru a quick glare before they left. When they all are gone, the devils and fallen angel stay quiet for a while.

"Is it just me or does anyone else think that there's something quite unusual about those women?" Kru asks curiously as he inspects his rose.

"Yeah, I thought that too. No chick has ever been able to take me down with that kind of strength. No mortal one that is." Fabian says.

"You think they're not human?" Rufus asks.

"You've seen it. They resisted your charms and no mortal women could ever do that unless they had any items that repel demons. And I saw nothing." Ansel says.

"There's something else." Kru states.

"They all smell like human but there's a hint of something inhuman within them. I just can't tell what."

"Eh so what? It doesn't matter if they're human or not. If anything I like a good challenge. They seem to be harmless anyways."

"Especially Miss Vy." Rufus says with interest.

"She's as pure and kind as an angel. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what she is. But I would be very happy." He chuckles sinfully.

"Man, I thought for sure she would get freaked out by you. I mean who wouldn't?" Rufus asks.

"At least she doesn't throw me to the ground like her sister. Though that would be very satisfying." He grins.

"I really didn't expect her to take me down like that. How was I suppose to know that I couldn't lay a hand on the kid?"

"Well she is blind and pure, I suppose they don't want her to be corrupted with a touch of a disgusting being such as yourself." Kru states and Fabian glares at him now pissed off.

"Look who's talking you little worm! You barely got anywhere with that other girl! She flat out rejected you like you were nothing but trash!"

"That little butterfly is obviously too shy to express her true feelings. It'll only be a matter of time before she falls into my web and dedicates her heart to me."

"Whatever dude! You don't have a chance in hell with her."

"Just like you don't have a chance with the blonde one?" Rufus questions on amusement.

"You kidding?! I'll have that girl by the end of the week!" He snaps his fingers.

"There's no way I'm not her type. Girls like her obviously like strong, handsome guys like me!"

"We'll keep an eye on them just in case. But we'll give them their space until they get settled in." Ansel says as he takes his seat.

"In the mean time we need to discuss about what my father has assigned for us to find and obtained this time."

'''

"Good God, could those guys be anymore pathetic?" Bellatrix crosses her arms behind her head as her and her sister's walk down the halls.

"Absolutely disgraceful." Sumemr huffs.

"Who are they to flaunt themselves and try to flatter us with their insincere words and charms. It's sickening and horrid!"

"They were just trying to be nice. If anything you should take it as a compliment since they seem to be entranced by your beauty." Vy says sweetly.

"Oh Vy you're just too sweet sometimes y'know that kiddo?" Bellatrix pats her head.

"Yes darling, you're too pure and innocent to understand what men are truly like. Especially with devils like them." Summer rolls her eyes with bitterness in her voice.

"The only one who didn't get hit on was Akari, which in fact has been pretty quiet this whole time." Bellatrix glances at the silent woman.

"Oi, what's up with you Akari? You barely said a word in there. Something on your mind? Or is it that time of month again?" She asks cautiously hoping to God it's the first one.

"There was no reason for me to be involved since you all did the talking." She says closing her eyes.

"So? You could've at least said a few more words. Whenever you're quiet, you're either pissed off or deep in thought." She says nothing and Bellatrix sighs while rolling her eyes.

"Okay fine Miss Anti-Social. Have it your way."

They all go to a bathroom to change and come out when they're all dressed.

"Ugh God. I hate school uniforms." Bellatrix says as she tugs at her jacket.

"Oh hush up you! If anything it's better than what you normally wear for attire." Summer says making Bellatrix mimic her quietly.

"Alright, let's see what kind of classes there are." Vy says handing the schedule to Akari.

"I'll take Calculus and Biology with her." She says before giving it to Summer.

"Art and Music." She says while giving it to Bellatrix.

"Then that just leaves me with just English and History. Boring!" She crumples up the schedule and tosses it over her shoulder.

"Alright its settled then. What's my first class and who gets to accompany me there?" Vy asks rather excited.

"Your first class to attend is Art. So I shall be the one to accompany you." Summer gestures to herself.

"Then it will be me, Bellatrix, Summer again, rinse and repeat." Sakura informs.

"Great! Let's go then!" She says before Summer takes her hand in hers to guide her.

"You better not cut any classes this time young lady or so help me I will punish you for it." Summer warns Bellatrix before walking away with Vy.

The blonde pulls her skin down from under her eye with one finger and sticks her tongue out to her.

"Nya nya nya! 'Don't skip anymore classes or so help me.' Ah shut it you old bat." She grumbles to herself while Akari straightens her blazer.

"You know she really needs to lighten up from this whole medieval manners thing. This ain't the 17th century anymore y'know!"

"If it bothers you so much then maybe you should be considerate and actually grow up. You know fully well that we have to keep our guard up 24/7 now. For Vy's sake." Akari bluntly says before walking away.

Bellatrix scoffs and crosses her arms.

"Pbft. Whatever. You know what? I think you need to lighten up too! You're always too tense and serious about everything! Lose the stress girl!" She calls out before going her own way.

Akari keeps walking down the hall as Bellatrix went her own way. As she's looking around, she spots Thalassa from afar with her friends and Sylvester. She stares at her for a minute until she looks away and resumes walking.

She thought it was funny how the heir to the Dashiel throne could actually be with a sweet and innocent girl like Thalassa. He seemed to be pretty close with her and she also wonders if she has any idea of who he is.

"Oh hey Akari!" The female stops in her tracks and turns her head to see Thalassa jogging over to her.

"Oh great." It's not that she doesn't like Thalassa.

She's just not a really big fan of being social with other people. She'd rather be left alone.

"Miss Valkyrie. Shouldn't you be in class?" She asks.

"Actually, our classes don't start until 8:30. We have at least 25 minutes."

"Oh." She nods.

"I see. Well I was just going to see what suitable classes there are for me to attend."

"Oh well if you want, I'd be more than willing to show you around the school. I mean I did escort you and your sisters to the student councils, I might as well show you around too."

She gets nervous as Akari stares at her. Her stare could literally make people freeze like statues. Akari is really debating whether she should refuse her offer or not. Again she is anti-social but she doesn't know this school at all and she might as well will get help from someone she's already met.

"Alright. I guess I could allow that. Thank you Miss Valkyrie."

"Oh there's no need to be so formal!" She waves her hands.

"Just call me Thalassa."

"Thalassa. Okay." Akari nods and Thalasa takes her arm, guiding her back to her friend and brother, who grew a little more concerned when he saw Thalassa bringing Akari over.

"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet one of the new transfer students." She says once her and Akari are there.

"This is Akari Elsher." She gestures to her before looking at her.

"Akari this is my good friend, Kaelyn." She gestures to the girl with blue hair and glasses.

"Hi! It's nice to finally meet you Akari!"

"Likewise." She replies and Thalassa gestures to Sylvester now.

"And this is my older brother, Sylvester Valkyrie." She looks over at the redhead and stares.

Sylvester stares at her as well and it stays like that until he extends his hand out to her.

"It's nice to meet you Miss Akari. Welcome to London Academy, I hope you'll like it here." She slowly accepts his hand like she's being cautious and shakes it.

It creates some kind of tense and awkward aura between the two. Kind of like the time when Sylvester met Ansel the first time.

"Thank you Mr. Valkyrie. I'm sure I will." Akari finally manages to say before releasing his hand.

Thalassa looks over at both of them confused and a little nervous.

"Uhh. So I'm gonna be showing her around the school since she's new here so in case you haven't noticed me in my classes, I'll be doing just that." She tells Syl.

"Maybe I should come with you? Just in case?" Syl glances briefly at Akari again after he looked at his sister.

Thalassa sighs and rolls her eyes, preparing to tell him the hundredth time that she'll be fine on her own.
