Chereads / Vampire's Tourniquet / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Annah chose to sit on the available bench far from the crowding chaos of warm welcoming by the KIA students to the newcomers. If Maine was here, she wont have any peace, reading her books in the corner while there was a program happening.

That woman would always drag her ass up and made sure for her to see the event.

The master of ceremony began to announce the name of the school where the exchange students came from.

"North America Academy, Brazil Academy,Philippines Academy, China Academy and last but not the least, England Interbreed Academy."

There was loud and chaotic screaming among the female populace after such announcement while the men clapped vigorously.

Annah's head whipped towards the direction of the event with sudden excitement enveloping her. She propelled herself up the seat to go and see who were the exchange students from her previous school. She was closing into the crowd when the M.C. accentuated the welcoming of the students from EIA.

"We're privilege to have the king's son from EIA joining us in KIA to show support of the opening of new interbreeding academy." There was another round of ear deafening claps of welcome while Annah halted her proceeding.

King's son?

With lack of eagerness, Annah slowly traced her steps to the crowd, tiptoed a little to see who was the emcee was talking about.

Even in the lack of clear vision with all the arms of other vampires flailing to her views, Annah couldn't mistaken it. Not at all. For her suspicion hits the target and it rung to her ears when she saw a tall guy, with silver blonde hair, roaming his icy gray eyes around in stealth observation.

Annah had no idea if he saw her for those cold eyes locked into hers in dead precision. She felt suddenly weak that her tiptoe gave out. Now standing flat on the ground, she had no idea why she suddenly felt so nervous and scared the way he was looking at her in silent fury.

The emcee said something on the mic but was then cut off and everybody went silent for something.

Annah blinked in shock when the students slowly divided in two, revealing her the most imposing demeanor of the king's son who was walking towards her.

Ricco still wore the frown on his face as he tilted his head to his left side, studying her for a bit.

"Uhm..."Annah looked away from his drowning kind of stares as she looked behind him and saw he's with his league of pureblood friends. "...so uh, hello?"

"Park, you big nitwit." Ricco just said.

Annah looked around to see all the eyes were directed on her and to Ricco. Some students in KIA can't believe that a hybrid like her would immediately caught the pureblood prince's attention. "Here to bully me again, Kwon?" She asked in low voice.

"Hell yeah." He answered and dragged her off to somewhere, far from the crowd he hated to be around with.

"Ah yah!" Annah complained but he was too strong for her to resist.

**********************************************************************************

"Now what?" Annah demanded when they reached at the rooftop of the school."

"This school sucks." Ricco muttered.

"Thank you so much. You can return to England as of now." Annah shot back.

"Didn't you happen to hear it, Park? We're here as an exchange student." Ricco turned to her. "Or your tiny birdbrain can't process that?"

Annah feigned a very charming smile to him. "Still arrogant, is it?"

"Shut up, mixed blood."

"Hmm. Careful with your words around here, Kwon. You're representing EIA. So don't go around with your pompous miserable attitude. 'kay?" she tapped his cheek, still masking her ruined mood with a smile. She wont have him have the upper hand of knowing that he still pissed her off a great deal.

She stepped towards the exit when Ricco got her by wrist and slammed the door hard. Annah found herself slammed against him, with her back on his chest.

Ricco leaned his back at the concrete wall and slid down along with her in tight lock with his arms.

"Hey...what are you-?" Annah gasped loudly when she felt his tongue licked on her right wrist before he buried his fangs in there. His other hand covered her mouth when she whimpered in pain rather loudly. All her words of protest muffled at his strong hold while the sound of his hungry sucking filled her ears. He was shaking in feverishness while guzzling for more scarlet fluid from her.

Annah kicked her feet to freed herself from him but she didn't succeed. Like a defenseless gazelle on a wild cat's acute bite, she can't help the beating of her heart in terror. She was reminded once again how pureblood was different from hybrids. She never saw one of her kind be this kind of relentless on their prey. As if this pureblood's life depended solely on her blood.

She heard him groaned under his breath while his hold around her was as if meant to kill her as it tightened gradually while his frame trembled greatly.

"...Elia..."

Annah stopped struggling after hearing his frustrated voice while he called her name and mumbled in a language which sounded very antediluvian to her ears. He groaned once again before he distanced his mouth from her wrist in unsteady breaths.

************************************************************************

Annah also gasped for air when Ricco finally uncovered her mouth and dropped her wrist down from his hold. She then felt his head planted at her back, wrapping both of his strong arms around her waist.

His rough breathing wasn't near calm at all but Annah had no idea why she didn't scurry away from there. She looked down to her wrist with few bloods flowing from the two orifice created by his fangs once again. She covered it with her other hand, seeing it created a mess to her uniform.

"Damn, Kwon. What a nice greeting you have there." Annah clicked her tongue in aggravation. She then felt a vibration at her back when he chuckled after a while.

"I've been hungry..."he said, still having his head at her back.

"You're the richest pureblood there is and still you're here and appeasing your hunger on me." Annah continued. "You don't have to try hard but other women are very willing to be your food. So don't bother me, you foolish bugger. Now look at my uniform. Urgh. I hate you."

Ricco lifted his head, seeing that she was still covering her wrist with her other hand. Unwrapping his arms around her, he maneuvered her into his direction, letting her sit onto one of his lap. He then reached the injured wrist and brought it to his lips.

"Enough you beast." Annah complained.

"I'm healing it." He just said and lapped to her injured wrist.

Annah gulped in nervousness when she saw him seriously licking her wound. "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you."

"Look away, you creep." Annah shot back but he just smirked at her, not breaking his eye contact with her, seemingly enjoying the rush of blush across her face that moment.

"Gosh, I hate you so much." Annah grumbled, looking down to her lap instead. She heard him chuckled before he planted a gentle kiss to her wrist after he was done.

She had no idea at all why he was making her all jumpy and nervous most especially that he seemed to like teasing her with his signature smirk.
