Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Eleven

Castle of Myths
Alex yawned a bit as she got up and looked beside her. She was expecting to see Darren, but the side was empty. She found it peculiar, he wasn't there when she got to the dorm last night and she waited until she fell asleep. Did he even come back?

She thought about all the things that could happen but then shook it off, he was half vampire. He could handle it, she got off and went to go take a shower, soon after that she went outside. Still she hadn't seen him. She started heading over to the cove, going to check if he was there.

But then she was a blur at the corner of her eye, she turned around and saw Darren. He was running, but not like a vampire. Just normal running. He seemed to be heading back to their dorm....He looked distressed..."What the hell..." She looked to which way he was coming from....Diana's dorm was there.

"No..no...he wasn't there....he didn't spend the night there..." She told herself, but the more she thought the more she knew it was true. He had been with Diana instead of her that night....

It wasn't right, it just wasn't....What had happened? The thought haunted her for the rest of the day as she tried to ignore and avoid him.

It was like her world was coming crashing down....again.
