Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Seven

Castle of Legends:
Darren grunted as he sat down next to Alex, he had to admit, despite his foul mood about being hypnotised by Diana's beauty AGAIN, the cove was one of the most beautiful places he'd ever seen.

It was well hidden so no one who passed would hear or notice them unless they were specifically looking for the place, hidden by a large sand dune and surrounded by a cliff face. The waters of the sea here seemed to be more...alive then they were back on the beach. The sun's illumination hit the water and set off a collideiscope of colours. Red, yellow, orange and many others.

Darren looked at Alex and marvelled at how her hair seemed to be the same, for a moment he wondered if her hair was like the water, catching light and reflecting it into various colours that made people want to stare at it as if it were a real rainbow.

Alex caught my eye and blushed "Your staring"

"Oh...sorry" Darren looked away, finding himself flushed "...how does Diana do that to me? i mean...i can't think straight when she's around" Alex sighed "It's one of her abilities...she see's you as an easy target and thinks your mind is weak, she gently pounds at it mentally, weakening your mental barriers and making you lose grip of yourself...making you agree to anything"

Darren whistled "Wow...i know hundreds of salesman who would love that ability" Alex chuckled and Darren looked at her "...So i'm weak-minded?"

She looked at him, startled "What?"

"You just said the trick only works on those who are weak minded....is that why?" She immeadiatly started shaking her head "No! No its not that your weak minded...IF, If sorry....its also partly because your a....you-know-what" She glanced around, as if the walls had ears "The effect is stronger around humans...to be honest, i'm surprised your not a drooling goon around her, you must be pretty strong mentally to fight her off"

Darren smiled and so did she. Darren began to thought, maybe, that this school wasn't so bad, he survived half a day here and he had a friend like Alex to have his back, what could happen?

"What do you have after this free period?" She suddenly asked.

"Oh...uh" Darren fished out his schedule from his school blazer, looking through it "...Gym"

"Oh god..."
