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

Castle of Legends
A week had passed since the incident and then two and then three. It was peaceful, well as peaceful as it could get at a school full of monsters. Alex and Darren being together always, they were still hesitant though, they wouldn't say why not aloud though. They were to scared to. Diana was still jealous as hell to.

She always tried getting between them or to drive a wedge to part them, but they were inseparable. She tried kissing Darren multiple times or seducing him, but alas it was no use.

And Alex, still keeping her secret of that summer. She didn't know what to say to him about it, but it still felt wrong keeping it from him. Like it was holding back there relationship. That was silly she thought because it was just a summer together, it wasn't magical or anything... Truth was though it was the best summer of her life. She hadn't had felt this happy since then. The kiss still magical now as it was then. She wondered though if Darren knew.

Well both were at the cove, just sitting on the beach, Darren's head in Alex's lap. She smiles down at him as she played with his hair.

"You know...this may sound silly, but do you want to build a sand castle?" Darren asked Alex. She jumped at bit at the sudden silence but laughed, it was a little tense though, remembering the memories. She nodded though and they started to build one.

As she built her mind went back to when they had built sand castles that first day. Alex had started to build the Atlantan castle. She started with a big lump and started to carve it with a seashell, she then chose which would be what side of the castles and what rooms and made the lines for each. When she was done it was a perfect miniature kingdom. Darren had stared wide-eyed at it.

He smiles though and said, "that's amazing!...but it's missing something.." He thought for a moment and then in a clear space, the court yard, drew two people in the sand with a stick. It was him and her. "Perfect!" Alex smiles up at him.

"Yeah.."

She shook her head back into the modern day when Darren called to her. "Come on! Better start building!" He laughed.

She smiled, "yeah...I'm coming!" She didn't know what she was going to do, the memories kept coming back.
