Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Fifty-One

Castle of Legends:
Darren stared as the Not-Darren stared in shock, for a moment he thought the guy wouldn't fall, but then he stepped back as Not-Darren's face started to shift and turn, like some kind of clay doll that was in the making. Not-Darren screamed, for a moment his face was angular, his eyes dark blue and his hair a deep, ruddy red. Darren stared in horror...then Not-Darren slumped backwards, and fell off the roof.

Alex dropped her gun in shock of what she just did, she had shot someone...she had killed a man. But he was trying to kill her...it had to be him...

Darren rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her, Alex cradled herself in his arms, she realised how weak she was so she let Darren support her, his gentle touch a welcome thing after Not-Darren, even thinking about that monster's hands on her...kissing her...it was enough to make her sick.

"Your hurt..." Darren whispered, the wind whipping through his hair, Alex smiled weakly up at him "Its fine...Water nymphs heal quickly in water...i just need to get...back to m..to my...." Darren caught her as she fainted into his arms.

The Next Morning:

Alex awoke to the pleasant feeling of being underwater, she smiled and stretched, it had been so long since she had slept in her natural habitat, while sleeping with Darren had been pleasurable and nothing could beat it, she still liked to once in awhile to sleep in her own fishbowl.

Alex's eyes widened when she remembered the night before, she looked at her shoulder and saw it was just a small, round healing scar, it still stung but she could move it around more then she could last night.

She then looked to the bed and her eyes lit up as she saw Darren, fast asleep in her bed. She pulled herself out of the fishbowl and quickly changed into a short skirt and top then sat next to him. She stared at his face, that lovely face she had thought goofy at first sight but now she thought it was irresistable.

She traced her fingers over his face, rewarded with a small shiver from Darren, she smiled "Thank you Darren...for saving me..." She looked at the clock and stared, five hours till the buses came....five hours till Darren either packed up and left...or stayed, with her.

"Darren..." she found herself talking to him, even though she knew he couldn't hear her, she leaned in and lay next to him, cradled in his side "I want you to know...whatever decision you make...i will support you.." It killed her inside, thinking that Darren might actually leave, but she couldn't stop him...even though she wanted so badly to stop him.

"Darren...I love you...i will always love you"

Alex's eyes widened when Darren's eyes fluttered open, well here it goes.
