Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Twenty

Castle of Myths
Alex looked to the wall, there wasn't that much time. She was both in dread and almost relieved. She didn't want to see Darren, but she did. She didn't want to leave but she did. It was all so confusing and it hurt to much. She didn't know what to think. Darren was with her sister, she was going to be taken away to get married in mere hours. Anyone else wouldve been frantic. But no, she was utterly calm.

Then suddenly, "Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!" She screamed angrily, she then look at the giant fish bowl which she used to sleep in..and she punched it. She was tired of it, tired of life, of her family, of herself..even of Darren. She wanted her own life, but she couldn't because she was being forced into a freaking marriage.

"It's not fair!" She screamed as she gave the bowl another hit, this time a long crack had run down through the side. "Its" crack "Not" crack "Fair!" Soon after more hitting chunks start to fall off.

When Alex calms down, she's breathing heavily and looks at her bloodied knuckles and then up at the ruined bowl. No regret in her eyes.

She looked out the window at the campus, she suddenly got up and walked out. She started walking towards the dormitories where she last saw them walk off. She was going to talk to both Darren, and Her sister Rose.

If she wasn't staying, she had much to be saying.
