Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Twenty-Six

Castle of Legends:
After that first kiss a few days ago, Alex and Darren had never felt better. It was like both were soaring above the clouds, well in Alex's case scouring the bottom of the ocean floor.

Anyway, it had only been a few days since the first kiss and the many more that had came and will soon come. To them it was like destiny, like they fit together perfectly like a jig saw puzzle. Sort of like they felt complete with each other.

They still "pretended" to date but it was actually real. They had to make it look not real though, they couldn't risk anyone finding out what had really happened and what Darren is and used to be half of.

Alex chuckled as she laid on top of Darren's bare chested, she was fully clothed though. She ran her fingers down his chest, tracing each line, Darren shivered a bit in pleasure, when she moved a bit to let only her head lay on his chest, he started to play with her hair.

"Alex, can I be honest with you? I-I've...I haven't been this happy in a long time. Sure there's my mom and she's great and all and does the best she can. But what I'm saying is, I wasn't truly happy, I wasn't full. But ever since Yokai...I've felt different, better, stronger..." He lowered his voice to almost a whisper. "You know..I actually used to cut my self. I wasn't a happy child, I was depressed, badly."

Alex just kept looking at the ceiling as he rolled a strip of hair between his fingers, Alex taking a hold of one of his arms. She felt around it for the scars, feeling each curve and groove. "Wow..." She held onto his hand not letting god.

"Everyone makes mistakes...Darren...were you ever with someone? Before this I mean...me and the whole Yokai academy thing." Her question startled him. He was speechless for a few seconds.
