Annah found herself inside Luna's dorm room and changed into another fresh set of uniform.
"I'll have this wash since you insist." Luna said in monotone voice. "If I have it my way, I'm gonna burn this as of this moment."
Now looking over the mirror, Annah saw how Luna's uniform fit her so much when in fact Luna's a bit chesty while she wasn't at all. "Well, thank you for this-"
"I have question." Luna cut her off in a gentle monotone voice.
"Ask away." Annah said, noting how purebloods are so alike. They just love to cut people's words.
"Did he finally consume vittles?" Luna asked.
Annah's brows twitched for quite not getting the question. "You mean food?"
"Did master suck your blood?" Luna tried again.
Understanding it, Annah reluctantly nodded which made Luna's lips curled into a small smile as she went to the window.
"That's good." Luna muttered and stared at the tree outside the window.
"So uh...I'm gonna leave now." Annah strode towards the door but then was stopped with Luna again.
"You're coming back with us to England." Luna appeared not to be requesting but merely informing her.
"I don't think so. I finished my enrollment here already. I'm just waiting for my things from England to arrive." Annah said.
"You're things haven't been moved out from your dorm since you left, hybrid." Luna let go of her hand.
"But Jason said-"
"There are many things you need to know about your so called boyfriend." Luna said softly while her long and dark wavy hair followed her every move as if she was a banshee that floats. She sat on the bed and tilted her head to Annah in amusement. "I'd like to tell you straight up but master said not to say a word."
"What are you implying?" Annah's brows furrowed but Luna only placed her finger in the middle of her lips.
"Like master say...not a word. Now...depart from here, our little hybrid." Luna said in almost sing song voice. It sounded so charming on the ears as if a Disney came out straight from fairytale. If she could only smile brightly, she might well suited to be called a princess for real.
There glimmer a bewilderment to Annah's eyes as she stirred the door open and left Luna in the room who was smiling in such amusing thought she was having inside the privacy of her mind.
"Weird." Annah said before she descended down the stairs to get into her classes in the afternoon.
Walking in the hallway now, Annah can't helped herself but compared KIA's buildings to EIA's.
KIA's were touched of too much modernity even it was located in the remotest part of the country. The whole structures weren't spared with expenses as modern engineering was applied to every columns, beams, walls and roofings. All facilities were mostly equipped with high technologies, fiber glasses wall claddings, parapets and sleek paint colors. Almost the same to every universities located in Seoul city. Like the touch of mysteriousness intended for the vampire race was severely gone through the bright appearance of KIA.
Unlike in EIA, everything screams of Victorian era for its old-fashion designs. The walls, columns, beams and roof weren't painted with any bright and jolly colors. The school kept its rock like features and almost too dull earth colors to preserve its natural appearance.
Somehow, Annah really like how the buildings in EIA which was built long time ago as the first ever academy for the vampire in the whole world. Everything in there made her feel at home and in tune to her true nature as half vampire. There was comfort in every venerable things in there-the wide chandeliers in food section, the shiny oak beds in the dorm, the tables made from cut bark of the trees, the paintings which the world haven't seen and the professors of matchless competency and the books of any sort. The smell of old browning papers on each books, she missed it so much.
In KIA, she felt like an ordinary college girl in a university. Her human side like the appeal of the school but her vampire side yearned to dwell into EIA's kind of environment.
About to turn in the corner, Annah halted for a while when Ricco was leaning over the column, having his eyes seriously planted at the oval shaped playground intending for sports activities.
***********************************************************************
In KIA, Annah's life had been at peace. Jason had plenty of times for her. They ate out a lot, mingling with ordinary humans when they date. At school, Jason was focused with his studies like her. Too mundane really, but it was peaceful. There wasn't one who was bullying her and the purebloods around the school didn't as much as pay attention to the hybrids as they go on their own business. A total blissful kind of co-existence in the school. No bullying, nothing of sort at all.
Now that Ricco's here, Annah had no clue if her life will be at peace since her huge bully followed her.
Continuing to walk at the direction where Ricco was, Annah followed to where he was staring at and found nothing could really interest him in such view. EIA's playground was much wider and bigger by ten times compared to KIA's. So it was impossible to say that it would interest him the slightest.
"Five minutes more and you end up burning the playground with your stares." Annah said in a mocking tone.
Ricco lifted his eyes to her, still leaning on the column, shoving his hands to his pockets in the jacket.
"This school sucks." He said it with passion.
"Yeah, well, like I say, you're free to fly back England."
"Come with me." he said.
"No."
"I'm not asking."
"I'm not joking, Kwon."
"You cost me my one chance of apprenticeship to professor Toc."
"What?"
"Toc dropped me from the list the second you withdraw from EIA." he snapped.
"Does it mean, we both made it to apprenticeship? Both of us?"
"Well, I'm glad your pea brain finally keep up."
Annah's eyes widened at such news. "No way, I thought we're still a candidate."
