The Vampire Princess

Exploring

I left my room with my schedule then began to roam the halls looking for the rooms. As I looked for the rooms I bumped with the Headmaster who said as soon as he saw me, "Era, are you okay finding your classes?" I nodded my head and saw that he had a few students following him. I said curiously, "Are you training them?" One guy chuckled and I looked at him with a smile then John said, "Yes, I teach the last class before anyone can graduate." I looked at him then said, "Why?" The same guy and now all the guys with him gave me a chuckle. I glared at him then John said, "I have to make sure they are capable to kill." I smiled then said, "Will I have to go through that class?" He froze then said, "Being Queen Evanna's bodyguard for a while I know you have it in you." I smiled then said as they all looked at me with anger, "I suppose there are those who still have a conscious." John smiled then said, "There are those who don't have one and kill without any remorse." I looked at him then said, "I can agree to that but it makes it difficult for them to stop. If anyone wants to truly become a feared person they have to have skill." He nodded his head then said, "If you are as good as you say and as Sebastian said then you will be here in no time." I nodded my head then said, "I need to learn how to control my temper which always gets the best of me and I end up destroying everything." John looked at me scared but I added, "That's the only reason I'm here." I walked away before they could say anything. 

I continued my exploration then I found a room that was enormous. I walked in and was immediately attacked by an elderly man. I dodged his attack and he said as he stood in front of me, "Who are you?" I said wary of his movements, "I am Era, I am a new student here." He smiled then said, "You have a very powerful presence it almost feel like I am in the presence of Lord Darius or his son, Julius." I froze hearing their name but he added, "You are not just anyone, am I right?" I said as I looked at his face, "Are you blind?" He smiled then said, "Yes, but you don't need your eyes when you have heightened senses." I smiled then said, "Can you teach me?" He chuckled then said, "My classes are very rough." I said with enthusiasm, "I think that is what I need." He said again as he placed his hands on my shoulders, "Who are you?" I moved closer to his ear then said, "If I tell you I would have to kill you." He let go of me then said, "I didn't mean any harm, Queen." I froze then said, "Please don't call me that." He was about to do a bow when I said, "I am unstable due to my parents death and I really need to control my powers." He had a sad look then said, "Julius was a very good student of mine." I smiled then said, "Can I join your class?" He said as he took my hand, "I will talk to the Headmaster." I said as he shook my hand, "Tell him you know my tru identity and I have agreed." He nodded in understanding.

I left from there and continued to explore the school. I found a lot of areas that seemed interesting but nothing like that man who knew me without seeing me. I returned to my room only to find John waiting by my door. I walked up to him then said , "Is everything alright?" He turned to me with a startled look then said, "I spoke to Professor Larsen and I have agreed to allow him to be your personal teacher. He is one of the best Professors in our school. I think he may help you achieve your goal quickly." I gave him a glare then said, "Is there a reason why you want to get rid of me quickly?" He nodded then said, "I would never." I continued glaring at him but he said as he handed me a new paper, "Here is your new schedule and you will be busier than before." I took the paper from him then said, "I'll keep that in mind, Headmaster." He gave me a fake smile then left. I entered my room and began to arrange my clothes. Night had come and the busy corridors were now quiet. As I finished putting away the last of my clothes there was a knock on my door. I walked to it and said, "Who is it?" Larsen said as he knocked again, "It's Larsen." I opened the door then said, "Hello, Professor Larsen." He smiled then said, "Since you will be under my special training I advise you to rest and to wear clothes that are comfortable for long periods of time." I sighed then said, "What time do you need me in class?" He chuckled then said, "We start at 5am and will finish as soon as the lesson is finished." I gave him a suspicious look and he said with another chuckle, "You will have a lot of lessons in a day and sometimes they will last days." I smiled then said with a sigh, "I like the challenge." He turned around and began to make his way down the hall as he waved. I closed my door and began to put my pajamas on. 

I was startled by another knock and I said as I walked towards the door, "Who is it?" Sebastian's voice startled me when he said, "It's me." I smiled and opened the door quickly. He looked at me in awe as he saw me in shorts and a t-shirt. I smiled then said, "Come in." He walked inside then said, "I think this is a bad idea." I smiled then sadi, "We are only going to talk." He blushed then said as he took a seat in a far away chair, "Talk about what?" I walked to my bed and sat down then said, "I want to get to know you more." He gave me a surprised look then said as he rubbed the back of his head, "What do you want to know?" I smiled then a blush fell upon my face, "I want to know everything." He said as he sighed loudly trying to show no interest, "Where do we start?" I gave him a big smile then said, "Where ever you feel comfortable." He said with a sad tone, "I told you in the past that I loved someone." I froze and my smile vanished and he said, "I fell in love with a Princess." I held my breath and my excitement as he said that. He looked at me suspiciously then said, "Are you okay?" I nodded my head then said, "You can continue." He got up and said as he took a sit next to me, "I also want to know about that person that did not feel the same for you." I sighed then said, "As a child I had a very close friend that was very good to me. I didn't realize it at the time but I surely must have loved him since then." He looked at me intently but remained stoic so I continued, "I met him again later but I found out that he was in love with someone so even if I decided to confess I knew I couldn't." He hugged suddenly then said, "You should forget about him." I smiled then said, "I will in time, maybe." He held me tighter and said, "Do you love him that much?" I pressed my head to his chest then said, "I'm not sure." I could hear his beating heart and it relaxed me. I took a deep breath and his scent made me feel happy. I was able to control my urges by keeping my mind under control but that vanished as he gave me a kiss. 

I was caught off guard and my body began to react. I was panting and my body felt like it was on fire once we parted our lips. I blushed as I bit my lips to try to keep my senses in check but he said softly in my ear, "I really meant what I said." I gave him a confused look then said, "I love you." I froze and I hart went wild. I tried to control it but he continued, "You remind me of that Princess." I froze then he said, "And your reactions just proves my suspicion." I looked at him shyly then said, "What do you mean?" He smiled then said, "You are, Aarraa." Hearing him say my name so close an intimately made me blush profoundly. I averted my eyes from him then said, "I don't know what you are talking about." He smiled then said as he pushed me on the bed, "If I find a birthmark on your left shoulder that will prove everything to me." I tried to squirm away from him but he pinned me to the bed. I frowned then said while blushing, "This in not fair." He smiled then said, "It is to me." 

After a while struggling he finally managed to see my birthmark. I was quiet and unsure so I hid my face on my pillow. I felt his hand touch it and it gave me goosebumps. He said softly as he moved away from me, "Who was it that stole your heart?" I blushed and I sat up slowly before saying, "Does it really matter?" He got up then said in a soft but sad tone, "I already told you that I love you. I just want to know who you love." I looked at him then got up and as I hugged him I said, "His name is Sebastian and I just recently found out that he is my fated partner." He froze up at my words but managed to turn around with a surprised look. I let him go then said sadly, "I don't plan to claim him as my partner." He hugged me then said, "What if he wants to be your partner?" I blushed then said, "That would imply that I would have to leave what I started behind but I can't." He took a deep breath then said, "We still have time to think about this." I smiled then said, "Why are you saying 'we'?" He blushed then gave me a kiss on the forehead. I smiled at his shy but daring ways. 

After a while of hugging in silence I said, "We should rest." He looked at his watch then said, "It's almost 11pm, I should go." I hugged him tighter then said, "Don't go yet." He sighed then said as he picked me up, "Well if you don't want me to leave then let's go to bed." I blushed then said, "Let's rest." He put me down on my bed then laid next to me. I held his hand and did not realize when I fell asleep. I had the best sleep since the death of my parents.
