That was a semi useless session. I got to admit that it wasn't totally useless but still. (In the honest sense I just have too much pride to admit that was actually helpful)
In the books which we were suppose to have taken notes in, even though I didn't take any, we were suppose to revise for next lesson. Next lesson we'd still have the same Mr Daemon but the lesson afterwards we'd change to another teacher. The reason? I forgot to ask. The curiosity? Still sitting there after the lesson.
The back door of the castle opened without a freak or even a tiny squeak showing that it was well oiled. How it looked was anything but well-oil. It was as if the ancient looking wood was just painted on a perfectly good door just to give it that effect. Now the lesson was finished and we went silent so we could digest the information. What none of us did think about was the scandal we got into to get to the throne room. Which is why we all looked us from our dream state to see who was trying to talk to us for a straight 5 minutes. For the first minute I thought the person wasn't talking to us. The second I thought the person will stop talking after a while and leave me alone. The third minute I was just ignoring the person who was testing my limits. The fourth I thought it was getting ridiculous and the fifth I finally bothered to see who this persistent person was.
My mind subconsciously thought these as my conscious was focused on the lesson and was working in collaboration with my memory to go over that lesson. Which then finally leads us too.
"I told you heirs to not go into the castle. So why did you? Now that you have I suppose you know why I told you not to go in there and for blatantly disregarding my orders you are grounded for the next two weeks! Did you hear me?? I said that you will be grounded! Why did you disrespect my orders anyway? Don't you know the simplicity of the word respect? Are the minds of this generations heirs really that much lower then the previous?"
Blah blah blah. Obviously I hear him, it was not as if I could just block out sound. So what's the use interrogating is if we're clearly not going to listen to your reprimanding?
I would call him an idiot but it would be disrespectful to the tigers. Oh well. We went back to the dorm with the big tiger behind we and heard the click of the door when we went into the room. I guess we really were grounded, I didn't feel like doing anything reckless today so I just went for a shower and did some finger workouts on my laptop before planning to go to sleep.
This was went I noticed that everyone else in the room was already in their beds asleep so I closed my laptop in the mind of going to sleep as well when I noticed Dominic's eyes on me as I was halfway through closing my laptop. Lights were still on so it wasn't that hard to notice someone staring at me. But why Dominic? The impression he has so far given is that he dislikes or even hates me. Yet he has the nerve to stare at me as if he wants something but is too much of a chicken to ask for it. Resorting to creepy staring isn't exactly ideal but at least it gives me something to do. Wasn't feeling that sleepy anyways.
"What do you want?"
I looked forward at him with neutral expression and showing nothing on my face. That caught him a little as I didn't miss the little sneer that was there one second but disappeared the next.
"For you to stay away from Eleanor."
He said with a little growl in the end.
So he wants to threaten me huh?
"Not my fault your girl finds me more worth her time then you."
I said this as if it was a matter of fact and the conversation was tiring me. My body sure agreed as a yawn came in straight after. Then with a little stretch I continued my way into the comforts of dreamland.
...
Next morning I woke up and recalled last nights events. Damn I should have questioned him on all the things that didn't make sense. Most of them have to do with him anyways. Why does he hate me?
Where was he the last few days of school?
How did he meet Eleanor?
How did he get roped into the nobles?
When did he turn his back on Yuuta?
Did he have any idea what was going on with Yuuta and that Li girl?
Was he ever friends with Yuuta?
Why are you here?!
And many more questions.
I woke up staring at the pristine white ceilings of the room and occasionally glancing at the chandelier which provided light for the room in soft glows.
I mustered up the reluctant energy of the morning I had in my body and sat up to look around the room. It was empty. No one was here just their belongings. It was still dark outside and there was a weird eerie sense that I got. It wasn't normal.
The only light was coming from the chandelier and I wasn't sensing anyone other then myself in the room. No one bathroom lights and I doubt they'd all go outside.
Just to be sure I encouraged more energy out before standing up beside my bed and looking around. I felt uncomfortably light and it wasn't a good feeling, was I sick?
I walked towards the door of the room and turned the handle. It squeaked in reluctance to turn but forcing it anyways I went out in the dark. The stars were all there. Shining in their twinkling glory as no other source of light seeked to interfere. I saw everyone. But not how I wanted to. Dominic laid on the grass, disturbingly still. Almost peaceful. His tussled chestnuts hair blowing in the wind in sync with the grass. I walked further, around the side of the house and found the twins lying on the grass in the same way but decorated with bursts of blood. Then further around Eleanor was there. She however was not lying on the grass but stood tall, cloths flaying in the wind. She looked back at me with a smile, a smile that was not fit for her whatsoever.
