[Morana]
After my unsavory exit from the prince's room, I am somewhere outside. I have to admit; he isn't so bad. I don't know what that was, but I want to do it again. Whenever I devour a soul, some of them would be doing that as well.
It's called a kiss. Kiss. I want to kiss the prince again. Imagine if I ate him? He would taste and feel so much better, right?
I know he will. Just touching his lips made me feel so good. The taste of his blood must be euphoric as well. As I walk down the hall, I see a few of the other students. Some are talking, running around and laughing. A few others are sat on the side benches reading what looked like school books.
Seeing all these boys around, I wonder if they will taste the same as the prince. They didn't smell as delicious, but the taste might be the same.
I look around for a fat one as my first victim. If his lips tasted good, then the meat will too. I find my target after a while. He was a goblin, but he seemed taller than what they were supposed to be.
Goblins were almost the size of dwarves, but he was an average height.
His head was down in a book with his glasses slipping off his face. He was not pretty like the prince, but he had enough meat to make up for that. With a pip in my step, I hop over to him. When I come before him, I sit down next to him.
"Hi!" He jumps in fright, and I giggle at the movement. He sits up straight then turns to me. I don't wait for him to say anything. I lean forward and place my lips on his. Not even a second later, a shock goes through my skin. I hiss in response, which scares my prey.
"The fuck was that?" He shrugs, then blushes and looks away from me. "Did you feel that shock?" That didn't happen with the prince guy.
"T-that means you have found your m-mate, no?" He stammers out a sentence then looks down again. Mate?
Oh yeah, prince guy's my mate. But I don't want a mate. " I don't want a mate." His eyes widen as he shakes his head.
"But you can't reject them. Mates are a lifetime gift." Gift? Why?
"Can I eat my mate?" The goblin pauses at my question then laughs out loud at me. I don't get why he is laughing and tilt my head. "What's funny?"
"No, it's just that your thinking is weird. You are the first person who wanted to eat their mate. Most people want to live with their mates." He smiles wider after he answers me. Live with their mates? But I can barely manage to live with uncle Wes and Maria.
"I don't want that. I don't like people."
"You are strange. You are the first person I can think of who wouldn't want their mate. You're not from around here, are you?" I shake my head no and prompt him to go on. "Figures. My name is Ezylar Casimir; it's my third year at the Academy, by the way."
"I am Morgana Areithios." His eyes widen. He does that a lot.
"Areithios? As in Hades Areithios?" Oh, he knows my dad.
"You know my dad?" He springs apart from me then gets down on one knee. "What are you doing?" I get defensive as I watch him look at the floor.
"Princess, pardon my impudent actions earlier." He is trembling, and I can't say I hate the sight of him. A few of the tweens walking by, look at us curiously.
"Grovel more; I like it." Ezylar looks up with relief.
"I thought you would behead me for my earlier actions. If I may ask, what is a princess of hell doing here?" Yeah, he was supposed to be my prey. Forget it; I can tolerate him now. Princess of hell? I like the sound of that.
"Princess of hell. I like this title. Does this mean I can eat all the people I want?" I needed to find new meat since I couldn't eat him now that he's my friend.
"No, Princess, you can't your subjects. Wait, shouldn't you know all of this?" Ezylar gets up and sits next to me.
" I don't know anything about hell. I never even saw my father. Uncle Wes and his wife, Maria, raised me."
"Judging from your unique smell, it could be because you are a hybrid, he didn't bring you to hell. You are fully functioning as well, right?." Fully functioning? Was he saying hybrids were stupid?
I couldn't find out much about hybrids in the books I had at home. It looks like being me was worst than I thought. I am going to find out as much as I can from Ezylar.
"I wanted to eat you, but it seems like you will have to be a friend instead."
