Today's class was outside. Physical education. Areto hated it, he already knew everything about being physical. The others where sitting on the benches already. Luca and Lesile where talking. Echo was starring at the sky. Elias was reading his new book. Salenne was turned away from everyone. After last night, Klaus avoided him. Areto went over to Elias, "How have you been?" He asked nervously. "I've been alright. Have the nightmares stopped?" Areto sat down next to him. "Not really but they are fading." Elias nodded. "That's good. Have you been going to the school counselor?"
"No, I've just had a lot on my mind lately." Was all he said. "How have your studies gone." "They are going good. I've finally got the water sheild down." They talked slowly getting into conversation. They bell rang, Klaus arrived and Salenne tensed up. He removed his cloak and jacked, rolling up his sleeves. "Get ready class is in session." His commanding voice had the students running. "Today's class is physical education. We are playing Cajun." Cajun. A magic ball game, it helped with concentration and got the students active. Helping them with elementary magic. The trick was to hold the ball with magic. Without touching it. It's started to become quite popular. "Can anyone tell me the spell for air." He looked at the students. "Echo, can you tell me?"
"It's Caeli." She answered uncertain.
"Correct. Have more confidence next time."
Nodding she released a breath of relief. Salenne glared daggers at Klaus. *Guess those two aren't getting along*
"Pair up in groups of two." When walk up he was surprised that Luca was there. "Don't be surprised, prefect." Echo raised her hand. "I'm not good at anything physical. Can I just sit on the side lines and spin rocks in my hand."
"No. How else are you going to get stronger."
"Lifting weights." Luca chuckled. Klaus walked away. Students got ready, removing cloaks and rolling up sleeves. Klaus had the students do a review, then they split up in groups. "Salenne your on Lucas team." Someone yelled. "I'm not playing." She continued writing in her book. Her bird up on a near by branch. "You have too it's part of class." The student said. "No I don't. I see no point in passing a ball around." Klaus came over, letting the student explain. "You have too. It's a part of school work, and your grade." She ingored him. Klaus touched her shoulder, "It's ok I'll teach you a easy spell."
"I already know simple spells. I just don't want to play." He rubbed his temples. "I'm not playing and that's final." She wrapped her cloak closer to her. "Guessing I'm skipping today." She got up, Klaus grabbed her but froze has her cloak fell from her neck. A jagged scar caught the light making Klaus let her go. She quickly left, her bird flying behind her. The others played till the dismissal bell rang. Collecting his things, Areto felt like he needed to be alone. He walked, thoughts running around in his head. *I need to find it. How was it created. Why is Klaus so interested now. I need to kill him.* He went the library, pulling out books on magic creatures. Grandfather clock making it's peaceful ticking. The late afternoon sun taking it's time to peak through the windows. Taking his time to read each book, writing down notes for each one. "Hey, beautiful. Working hard." Smiling at the voice next to his ear, he turned his head. Turning my head, Vincent's nose rubbed against mine. Nibbling and licking my ear, chills went up and down my spine. "Care to take a break." Standing up, Areto lead Vincent to a side table hidden away from the rest of the library. "What have you been up to?" Vincent asked, picking me up he put me on the table. Suckling and licking my neck, Vincent started to unbutton my shirt.
"Not fair-" Gasping when Vincent tugged on my earlobe. "Damn, this uniforms ruin the mood." Vincent had a point. With the cloak, jacket, vest, tie, and shirt it was a series of buttons to get through. "Like what your wearing is any better." Vincent got off of Areto, lowering his overall straps he removed his shirt. "Is this better for you?"
"Yes that's better. But I'm still dressed." Unbuttoning Areto's vest and removing his tie, Vincent crashed his lips to Areto's. Leaning on his elbows, Areto moved his clothes exposing his chest. Areto explored Vincent's body with his hands, feeling his muscles flex beneath them. Vincent rubbed against me, his tongue asking for entrance, I granted it. Our tongue's fighting for leadership, they delved and explored each other mouth. Breaking the kiss, Vincent moved to my chest. Moving to my nipples teasing one with his tongue sucking on it, the other with his hand. Moaning, I grinded against Vincent undoing his belt I released his member. Stroking its length, I felt it grow. Keeping his eyes on me Vincent moved to my other nipple giving it attention. His hand stroked me through my pants, his lips moved to mine. Using my tie he pinned my hands above my head. Removing my pants he rubbed our members together. "Your leaking from just that." Mouth curling in a smirk, Vincent look at them. "Stop starring at it ,it's embarrassing." Chuckling, Vincent moved to Areto's entrance. Putting a finger in, he laid Areto down on a the table. Returning the kiss Areto face became flushed as Vincent's fingers rubbed his inner walls. "Don't be so loud we are in a library." Another finger entered, Vincent started to scissor me. Gasping at the intrusion, Areto tugged at his restraints. "You ready?" Vincent asked eyes full of lust. Nodding I moved my legs together, so they rested on the table. Grabbing my hip he aligned himself up. Pushing into me to his hilt. Looking at me for confirmation, I nodded. Biting my lips, moans came as a muffled sound. His movements where teasing me, pulling out slowly then thrusting back in. I became a writhing mess under him. I started moving my hips to match his movements. "Vincent untie me, please." Loosening the knot on my wrists, his movements caused him to push farther in. Taking my pants off, I put my legs on ethier side of him. Resuming his pace Vincent held onto my legs keeping me in place. "Stop teasing me already." Moaning when he thrusted into me, I latched onto the edge of the table. His hands on my inner thigh, I pumped myself. Numbness spread over me, both of our movements becoming sloppy. Leaning down Vincent kissed me, shoving his tongue in my mouth. I came, tightening up I felt the warmth spread over my lower half. Vincent released a sigh. Not leaving my mouth, he set us on the floor. "You're so adorable." Caressing my cheek he kissed it. Looking me in my eyes I stared back. His dark red eyes turned darker as the sun set. "Your eyes are beautiful." Placing light kisses on my lips, cheeks and nose he started to move again. Keeping our eyes locked on one another, I dragged my hands threw his hair. Releasing it from its tie, it fell on my face. Dragging it back to position I grabbed it, making Vincent ram into me. Sweat coated our bodies, our lips swollen. A note came towards me catching it I buryed it in my discarded shirt. The library doors opened, halting our movements. They opened again. I turned over laying flat on my stomach making sure I didn't disconnect our bodies. Vincent laid down, his weight settling on me. Slapping sounds and moans echoed off the walls. Releasing inside me, Vincent rolled to my side. Collecting me in his arms, we gulped down air. "I've been tasked with bring the beast to it's end. That's why I'm here." Vincent told me. Areto's shoulders dropped. Vincent continued, "We are calling it a Wendigo and... And after it's gone, they are going to try Anastasia again." Tightening my grip I clung to him.
Salenne's point of view
Speed walking to, anywhere but where she was. Salenne kept her cloak tight to her body. Feeling like a thousand eyes were on her, she lost her way back. Tall trees, trunks so thick it will take hours to cut through. "Over here." PB said. Following him he lead me to a flower field. Delicate and soft these flowers are beautiful. The gentle light streaming through the open parts in the trees, making look like the place was glimmering. "PB, go look for parts. Please." Flapping his wings he headed out. Turning to the side Salenne puked. Bracing herself on the tree, she emptied her stomach. Falling on her knees, she gazed up. The sky is clear blue, not a cloud in site. The memories of her village and what they did. She hated them. Their small minded stupidity, stuck up ways. How she managed to get away with the brain cells she had left she has no idea. She remembered the smell of burning wood and flesh. My lips curled up. Moving to a more sunny spot, I laces together flowers. Looking at the crown I made PB came back with a few objects. "Thanks PB." Bird skull, colourful feathers, and a dried out butterfly. "Thanks PB. Your the best." Tucking the objects in her bag, Salenne basked in the sun. Feeling the warm heat that came with it, she let the tears fall. Removing my hood, I looked at my wrist. The scars, jagged and messy freckled them. The chains they used, she used to hang them. Lost in memory, PBs' song blended in with the other birds. Her long black hair landed in her hands. Fixing it back in its tie, "Care to explain why you didn't want to participate in class." Whipping around Klaus stood there, arms crossed and looking as stern as ever. "I told you, I had no interest in games." Putting her hood back she stood up. "What do you participate in? Other than necromancy." That took awhile to answer. All of her skills she learned out of survival, if it's not for that she doesn't bother.
"Gardens." She said.
"The school has a greenhouse." Klaus said. "That will be your class today. Magical Plants and Herbs." She looked at him surprised, like he grew a second head. "Come on, let me show you." She followed him, they left the forest and re-entered the grounds. Students were gathering outside, they all glanced at them. Klaus paid them no attention, Salenne gave them a sweet smile. A grand building, vines crawling up it's side looking like it will drag it down. The windows looking like a portal to a Elven world. Entering it, array of colors covered every corner. Every source of greenery could be seen. Trees reach up and out of the ceiling, butterflys danced from flower to flower. "There are over 100 plants in this greenhouse." Klaus explained moving his arms around the room. "Plants from the farthest reaches of the world and those considered extinct are here." He walked pass a flower pot that housed a blue and black flower. It's petals spread out to it's side like a butterfly streaching out its' wings. "That is call Emporer Wrath. It a carnivores plant, lures in bees and small birds to it." Seeing the plant I was eyeing, he explained it. A loud caw sounded from above. "Yea. That's right asshole, Im more deadly than I appear." PB's voice sounded out, and slightly annoyed. A bigger bird glided up and out of the greenhouse. "And that was a Western Vulture. They eat smaller creatures and are a common site around here. The school also houses birds as well." PB rested on my shoulder seeing it was safer. Klaus continued showing me the plants, every so often PB would wonder off, coming back a little while later. Getting lost in a lecture Klaus took his time. *Sweet universe does he ever, breath.*
He just went on, pointing to each plant in turn as he talked. The late afternoon sun peaking through the holes in the ceiling, "....and that is all this plant does, it more decorative than helpful." Finally snapping out of his trance. "You surely like to hear yourself talk."
Sighing deeply Klaus tuck away his notebook, "You need to learn this stuff for upcoming classes."
"If you wanted to go on a date, you could have just ask." She said. Hearing a bell rang Klaus ran off. Following behind him he tried to open up the door. "Greenhouse is closed, come back in the morning."
"Shit we are locked in." cursing Klaus tried the handle.
"The door is talking." Salenne said, surprised.
"Stop yanking on me. I don't open till morning."
"On who's orders?" Klaus stepped back.
"The Headmaster."
"It's a talking door." Salenne was transfixed on it.
"Will you please get over the talking door." He said irritated.
"It's a talking door you don't run into that often." Salenne said.
"Guess we have to stay here tonight." Ripping out a page from his notebook he wrote two notes, said a spell and they flew out. "Don't worry. I wrote a note to your housemother. Explaining the situation."
"Oh goody. And the other note." She asked.
"Nothing of your concern." He said.
"Well since class is over, and we are stuck here till morning. I'm going too be looking for a place to sleep." Salenne strolled through the garden. Looking at the different plants, she made mental note as she passed each one. "Do your parents know where your at?" Klaus asked following.
"I'm a orphan." She answered.
"Where did you live before coming here?"
"I wandered around. Never staying in one place for long."
"Why's that?" He asked sounding concerned.
"I don't like people." She told him. With he sun finally gone and the moon high above. Klaus found a bench, sitting on it he rubbed his temples. "Ohh you don't look happy." She said.
Breathing in deep, Klaus settled down. "You can sleep on the other side. I'll sleep on this side." Looking at the bench she gradually sat down, crossing her legs she rested her head on her hand. "Worst date ever, by the way."
Areto's point of view
*Perfect. Mine. Tight.* The leather cuffs on my wrist dug in. "Show me more pet." I listened to him spreading my legs more I showed him.
My eyes flying open to a dark room. The window open to let in air. Vincent still asleep beside me, my side cool from sweat. We came up here after the library. I read the note that Klaus sent. Our clothes still waiting to be picked up. On shaking legs I got up. I moved the blanket higher on Vincent. Placing a hand on his cheek I stroked it. His delicate cheekbones caught the moon light. Getting up I collected the clothes putting mine in the hamper and his on the side table. I grabbed a shirt and pants. I stood on the balcony starring at the vast landscape leading to the West Forest. Forbidden to enter, both as a rule of the school and the Ministry of Magic. Housing creatures of ferocity and friendliness no one, but the headmaster knows what inside. Turning away Areto went to Klaus's desk, doing the work Klaus asked him to do.
