Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Forty-Two

Castle of Legends
Alex could see on Darren's face that he was discontented with her answer, he knew something was up that she wasn't telling him. She wasn't going to though. She wanted to desperately just leave it all behind, but she knew she couldn't. He'd find out eventually.

Alex got up sighing, "who do you think it was? It's killing me trying to think. Diana?"

Darren shook his head, "she dislikes you but doesn't hate you. I don't think she'd do that Alex."

"Sorry..was thinking...well whoever they are..im safe" she says silently though, "for now...."
