Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Twelve

Castle of Myths:
Darren came to a stop in front of one of the forests many trees, slumping against it as he fought to regain what focus was left after last nights blood lust. It had all been a mistake, he had let himself fall under Diana's blood spell...and he'd done something terrible, something so intimate, something he would have only done with Alex before.

Sure, it had only been...that, he hadn't slept with her...but the feeling was still on his tongue, the sensation of her skin still tingled his fingers...he hated it.

He could never face Alex, knowing what he had done...and now that Diana had something over him, something that could end everything he had made with Alex...he would be doing every night.

He put his head in his hands and let out a scream of frustration, he felt it echoe along the forests...he didn't care if he was attacked by a creature or a werewolf like last year...he didn't care...everything was messed up already, better a quick end then seeing the girl he loved hurt.

But then he realised it, she was hurting already. She was to be married to a person she didn't love, she needed him more then ever....and here he was, acting selfish, thinking about himself.

He pulled himself to his feet, wiping his face "Alex...i'm coming"

He made his way back to the dorm, HIS dorm.
