Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Eight

Castle of Dreams:
Diana brushed her hair in the mirror, readjusting her bright red nightdress. She had gotten it at Victoria's Secret the day she visited the human world so she could show it to Darren later...but something had stopped her from walking through that door. It wasn't just that she knew that Alex lived with Darren now, but when she saw Darren last afternoon, he looked shocked, haunted....broken.

Normally, she would have taken this as her chance....but something just made her walk away, give the guy a break. Maybe it was just she felt sorry for him...or she was actually falling in love.

She shaked her head, glaring at herself in the mirror "Don't be stupid Diana...you are not in love, you need Darren because he's the only possible way you can have a pureblood baby..."

Diana jumped slightly as she heard the door open, she turned and stared as the person she least expected to come in her room came in.

"Darren?"

Darren scratched his hair, uncomfortable "Hey Diana..."

"What are you doing here?" She was generally surprised at his sudden appearance, she never even thought he would COME to her.

"I....I need a place to stay" She stared, getting up and smirking as he looked away at her see through red nightdress "Why do you need a place to stay? Did...Did Alex kick you out?" she smirked to herself, if this was true, then their relationship wasn't as perfect as it seemed.

"No...i...its just...." He sighed "Look, i just....i feel like i can't be near her right now, and i know i made a real bad choice coming here but your the only person i think will take me in"

Diana nodded her head "Okay, you can stay...on one condition" He sighed in frustration "What?"

"You have to be my servant, do whatever i say, or i tell Alex you came to me"

His eyes widened and he glares "You bitch..."

She smirked at him, stroking his cheek "Thats me...now, why don't you help me out of this nightdress"
