Darkmyth University

Chapter Three

Zander's (Quinten's twin brother) POV

I watched as Quinten met a woman and then after a few minutes exit the building. I wonder if this is the one that I have been waiting for. I will be getting to know this woman. As the woman left with her roommate I followed them. I heard their conversation about soul mates and smile evilly. This is going to get interesting quickly. All I have to do is keep a low profile and get Crystal away from Quinten.

Crystal's POV

I was surprised how many classes that Quinten and I had together. He was in two out of the three classes that I had today. When Stephanie and I met Ursula for lunch we found out that Quinten was forming a fraternity and that our organizations would be doing events together. Quinten would not even look at me the entire time that we were in class. It was becoming clear that maybe he was not interested at all. This is frustrating and I am becoming uneasy about my feelings.

However while we were at lunch I felt a pair of eyes on me and I found the pair of golden brown eyes I was expecting. I excused myself from the table, walked over to him, and asked, "Is there a reason why I am now of so much interest to you?"

Quinten raised a brow and asked, "What do you mean now?"

"I have had two classes with you today and you did not seem to even notice that I was there. I was at least hoping that you would say hello."

Quinten pulled out his schedule, handed it to me, and said, "I have not seen you until now Crystal."

Crystal looked over his schedule, then furrowed her brow, and said, "I swear you were in my classes today. This does not make any since Quinten." I hand the schedule back, fish my schedule out of my pocket, hand it to him, and say, "I am sorry that I snapped at you."

"That is perfectly alright Crystal. You are studying art?"

"Yes, I am. I have always wanted to and now that I can I plan to take advantage of it." I say with a smile.

Quinten smiles back, hands my schedule back, and asks, "Are you free this evening?"

"I am actually."

"Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"I would like that very much."

"Where are you staying?"

"I am in the Lilith wing room 502."

"I will pick you up at seven."

"I will see you then." I say with a smile and walk back over to my table. I sit with a contented sigh.

Stephanie asked as I sat down, "Well?"

"I will tell you later." I said softly and then apologized to Ursula. Ursula continued to inform us about the sorority that she was forming, which she was calling Delta Epsilon Beta or DEB. She told us that DEB stood for debutante. Ursula wanted a sorority that taught woman how to act like a lady. I personally thought that this was a great idea because most women did not how to be polite or act towards other people. As lunch proceeded I felt another pair of eyes on me. I turned to see a pair of dead grey eyes looking at me. The man looked just like Quinten but, his eyes were not the same color. I turned back to the conversation that I was having. As soon as we were finished I grabbed Stephanie's hand and hurried her to our room.

Quinten's POV

I watched as Crystal talked with Ursula and her friend Stephanie. He had found out that she was an Art major and that she was rooming with Stephanie Winslow. He also found out that she was turned by a vicious vampire, which allowed her to see in color and have actual feelings. Of course, he would not tell her that he knew all of this because he wanted her to tell him in her own time. As soon as he had found out about her abilities he had called his father Nicholas. Nicholas said to him on the phone, "Crystal is extremely rare. From what you have told me, Crystal is extremely beautiful as well."

"Oh, Crystal is very beautiful father. I hope that you and mother, will come to this ball that Ursula and I are hosting."

"Your mother and I would not miss it for the world. Now, I must speak to you seriously about Crystal. Crystal has not reached the age of majority yet my son. If Crystal has been able to see in color since she was changed, this could only be the beginning of her abilities. In some cases, they have developed powers."

"What sort of powers?"

"It depends on the person really. Some can tell if someone is lying, others can use telekinesis, and some can control an element. I suspect that Crystal will be stronger than the others that I have met. There is no way for me to tell what Crystal will be able to do. I would suggest that once you get to know Crystal better that you inform her of this. Crystal has four years to either develop these powers or they could come sooner."

"Crystal will be closer to a royal by the time she reaches the age of majority? Crystal will have powers like us?"

"Yes, my son. Crystal may even be stronger than us. I encourage you to tell Crystal that you are royalty before your mother and I come for this ball of yours. I would also like to meet these men that you are close to as well."

"I will think on it father. Thank you for the information."

"Goodbye, Quinten."

"Goodbye, father." I ended the call on my I-phone 5. I walked over to rejoin Lucas, Michael, and Brody. I took a deep breath and said, "I need to tell you all something."

Brody knitted his eyebrows together and said, "Let us go back to your room. This does not sound like something that needs to be discussed out in the open."

"You are right Brody. Let us go to my room." I say quickly then take off at my top speed. I reach the room a full minute before the others. They arrive with scowls on their faces but, sit on the couch quietly. I say while running my hand through my hair, "I have not told you all this yet because I did not want this to affect our friendship."

Michael looked at Brody and Lucas and said, "I am pretty sure that nothing is going to change our friendship Quinten."

"I know that now but, I did not know that when I first met you all."

"Just get on with it Quinten."  Lucas said with a scowl.

"I am the crowned Prince of the vampire world." I say while rubbing my face roughly. There was no sound after my statement. I could hear the people next door clearly. I look at the three people sitting on the couch. Their faces are shocked so, I snap my fingers in their faces, and say, "Guys snap out of it! It really is not that shocking."

"Quinten; seriously?" They all say simultaneously.

"Does it look like I am kidding?" I say looking at all of them in the eye. They shook their heads and I continued, "Look this had nothing to do with the fact that I do not trust you. I just wanted to be sure that you would not use me like so many people before. Now that you all know I would rather it stay between us for now anyway?"

Lucas gave him a look saying that they would talk more about this later. He asked, "Where are you taking Crystal for dinner?"

"I was thinking La' Boehme, the little bistro right off of campus." I say with a smile, "Speaking of Crystal. I am going to take care of some things before this evening."
