me and newbie over there were in the schools combat area on a square arena bigger than the one I was on last time.
apparently the newbie said that he'd need the room for his "overwhelming power".
if my last experiences were anything of note then this would be over fast and totally in my favor, but something was nagging me that this wouldn't end how I thought, like what happened with the principal, I gotta be careful, arrogance doesn't help me here.
once the teacher yelled start the newbie summoned 6 tornadoes, well fuck.
the winds they were crating were strong, I could barely keep myself anchored with my hands as the force of the tornadoes ripped apart my clothes in small chunks, leaving me with holes all over my clothes, I hate that it rhymed, I hate it.
the tornadoes just suddenly disappeared, the newbie sweating profusely as he panted, was that it?
I cautiously walked over to him, using my pointer finger and pushing him over, it didn't even take much force.
"winner!"(teacher) said in a fake excited voice.
not only was I disappointed at the result I was annoyed that I got my clothes all ripped, and for nothing.
Raya was in the doorway of the combat area just behind the energy wall, slow clapping as I walked over to her.
"tell me about this acting like were together thing, I need something to take my mind off the pathetic show of whatever the hell that was."(syn)
"sure thing, come to my dorm at 8 tonight, wear a suit, and act like you love me."(Raya)
"I can do the first few."(syn)
"girl break your heart?"(Raya)
"I'm not getting into this, I'll be there at 745 tonight."(syn)
and I walked off leaving her there, she didn't need to know anything about Luan or my life with her, were barely friends, friends that have slept together, I know there's a term for this here but I'm not gonna go there.
the rest of my classes went fine, I was bored through all of them so they went like usual, my mind also as usual was on something else as I finished out my academic day with no emotion and went to my dorm.
I didn't even greet the other two, they tried but I just waved, set an alarm, and passed out.
---
hours later.....
my Alarm was going off incessantly before I pushed the snooze button, getting off tje bed and realizing I'm still wearing torn clothes, so I just dropped em, making myself a suit from my blood like I would've a while ago and leaving tje dorm, my newly made dress shoe heels clacking on the concrete floor.
great.
it didn't take long for me to get to Rayas dorm, I knocked a few times and waited, Raya letting me in quickly, she did a once over before nodding and dragging me by the arm to a door, an odd door.
she opened it slowly, making me expect something strange or mysterious, nope, the thing was an elevator.
rightfully disappointed I got on with her and just kinda waited there, the elevator going down a long ways before finally stopping and the doors opening with a chime, an annoying chime that is somehow more annoying than when I dealt with it on earth.
the sight beyond the doors was something else, a large lavish wood walled mansion before my very eyes, the beauty and grandeur of it temporarily making me speechless.
"cmon."(Raya) nudged.
nodding and following while staring like a deer in headlights I was pulled along as my vision was greeted with very pretty items of high value, but then I remembered why I was here and my fun was over.
there were near countless vampires around as Rayas led me to various places and introduced me to various people, I told her on tje elevator to tell people I'm deaf so I wouldn't have to answer anyone, so far no one has further asked about it so I should be fine.
"ok you should probably keep up the act, might have been tje best idea you've ever come up with."(Raya)
if dealing with her family was like dealing with nobility politics on TV then deaf and mute were your best friends.
after Raya was satisfied with parading me around we sat down next to each other at a large wooden table, one that looked somewhat familiar, looking down I could see my old claw prints from when the demon took over, should that be nostalgic? cause I'm feeling nostalgia.
"what?"(Raya)
I shook my head no, can't risk talking here and breaking a cover that will save me a headache.
she didn't get it at all and just dropped it.
"all rise for the matron."(vampire)
Raya made a show of nudging and lifting me, so others wouldn't question my bluff.
clicks and clacks of heels started to get closer and closer, finally a girl with white hair rounded the corner, our eyes locking before my brain did a double take.
MARIE?!
I had to do everything in my power not to react, my face and body were still as everyone remained standing, waiting for Marie to sit down.
Raya again made a show of nudging and pushing me a bit down before I started sitting.
"don't use the name Syn she knows it, call me Ryan or some shit."(syn) I whispered to Raya in a panicked voice.
thankfully no one noticed.
"so Raya, dearest youngest daughter of mine, who's the person accompanying you tonight? he looks....familiar."(Marie)
the last words were a jab at me, and I knew it, and youngest daughter, oh I'm so dead!
"he's my new boyfriend...Steven."(Raya)
we're fucked.
"so Steven, have any relatives I might know of?"(Marie)
don't answer, don't answer.
Sorry, my mother he's deaf and mute."(Raya)
"is he stupid?"(Marie)
yes I'm an idiot, I should not have come here.
"no, he's very strong too, he just can't communicate normally, that's all!"(Raya)
