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

Castle of Legends
Alex couldn't believe she had just said that, she turned away from him. "Forget it...i-it's stupid anyway..." She didn't look back at him, but she still felt him there, she felt him holding her with his cold fingers brushing across her skin, she shivered.

"Alex..." He said softly, turning her towards him, making her look straight into his ruby blood eyes. She stared into them and him into her black ones, for her it was like her pupil was lost in the black and him it was his was popping out against the red. They stood there (Alex on her tail) staring at one another for a few minutes. Both breathing softly.

"Alex...it's not stupid..I feel the same way...but I remember that book..and I don't want you to die, I don't want you in trouble Alex. Even if your just a regular nymph, I know this would be a big deal. They might execute you, it's happened." He stared at her with a saddened expression and worried one on his face. "God I love you so much...I don't want you to die because of me..you deserve better." He said barely a whisper.

Alex still had tears in her eyes, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "Darren...forget about the rules, it doesn't matter, I promise you...it'll be fine." She kisses him softly but at the back of her mind she remembers his words of being a regular nymph...but she wasn't just any nymph, that was the problem.
