Chapter 9 - Chapter 9. Merciful was not a word to describe her nature, but vengeful was.

BlackRose College…

"This is impressive," Eva said as she stepped inside the College gates.

BlackRose College was an immense place, with large buildings and extensive gardens. 

Before waking up, the young Eva was astonished the first time she saw BlackRose College. She quickly became fascinated with the gothic architecture of the classroom buildings and the open spaces of the campus.

The classrooms with their advanced appliances but classic styles, the gardens filled with roses of different colors except black, the laboratories filled with the highest technology of the city, the biggest library in the country with countless books in the middle of the campus, and the famous cafeteria managed by five-star chefs. 

For a girl who came from the countryside, it was as if she was entering a dream city. However, to the new Eva, that place, while magnificent, did not compare to the beauty of the ancient world. She had seen wonders appear and disappear multiple times, thus she was not that impressed with a mere school. 

After walking several steps around the campus, smelling the aroma of freshness of the gardens and open areas, as some students were hurrying back to their dormitories before closing time, Eva finally arrived at the entrance to her dorm with five minutes to go. 

It was a pretty decent place; the building didn't look worn or dirty, though for her taste, it wasn't enough. Maybe later she will find some other place to live.

In her past life, she lived in a magnificent mansion that she had built in the middle of the desert, inside an oasis. It was perfect. She didn't know if in this lifetime she could build a place like that again. 

She had to earn a lot of money if she wanted to own something similar in this new world. Anyway, she wasn't pressed for time.

"You're late again, Eva," a female voice from the top of the stairs reached her ears.

The gates were about to close, and Eva was at the bottom of the stairs looking up.

The lady in charge of building management observed her and smiled sarcastically.

She didn't like students who came late to the dormitories, and if they did, they had to give her money or something valuable to let them pass and not report them.

Four accumulated reports will make them lose their chance to stay in the dorms the following semester. And very few could afford an apartment near the school.

Eva looked at the woman and returned her sarcastic smile, her pretty red lips glistening against her pale skin. Since she had drunk blood again, her body felt more alive than ever. Her powers flowed in her veins like electricity making her appear strong and confident.

The old lady frowned looking at her. Eva, indeed, looked different. She still wore dirty and tattered clothes, with a pale and malnourished body, but now she had a dominant aura, full of confidence. She even looked more beautiful than ever.

The old woman made a gesture of disgust and envy. She no longer cared about getting a penny from that starving woman anymore. Who cares if she sleeps out there in the cold for a night? 

The next day, she will report Eva to the school administration. That'll show her who is the one in charge and who is an insignificant rat. Next time she will have to dismiss that stupid and arrogant attitude before trying to get inside the dorms. 

The old woman was about to close the gate, but…

"Stop…" a voice, deep and echoed in her ear. 

She tried to push the gates, but she couldn't. 

Her body did not obey her mind, it was as if her hands were paralyzed. Her fingers gripped the handle of the door with strength, almost breaking her long nails, but still, her arms didn't move. 

Despair rose to her face, and as if her soul was being stolen from her, she stopped moving as she watched with fear. 

"What is… ha…ppen… ing?" Her voice cracked, and her tongue couldn't share her fear and thoughts. She could only barely breathe enough air to live. That was the only movement allowed to be made. 

"Thanks for stopping for me," Strolling up the steps, Eva looked up with a smile. Meanwhile, a terrifying shadow surrounded her body.

The old lady shivered, and cold sweat ran down her forehead, as she watched Eva's eyes turning bright red like fire ready to burn her alive. 

"What is happening," the lady thought and tried to move again, but it was impossible.

"Could you open the door more?" Eva was already on the last step and the woman's eyes shook in fear. 

Then, her legs obeyed, and she stepped back as if something was pulling her body with strings attached to her limbs. Her legs did not react to her commands but to some mysterious force. Her eyes slowly became empty. 

When Eva finished entering the building, the old lady said nothing and did nothing. She just stood there, her hand still on the door handle. Quiet, calm. Her face without showing any expression, as she rested inside her mind. 

Without turning back Eva walked away until surrounding her body with darkness. Merciful was not a word to describe her nature, but vengeful was. 

That old lady had already blackmailed the original Eva so many times in the past. It was time to reap what she sowed and be punished. 

That lady knew Eva worked off campus and sometimes in the school labs as an assistant. Eva will stay late at night to finish closing the labs so, she will have a hard time arriving on time. That old lady knew Eva would not make it to the dorms at the closing hour and never had mercy for her. 

Eva begged her many times to let her in, and many times that old lady extorted money and favors from her. Not stopping at that, she never forgot to humiliate Eva at every chance. 

When Eva didn't have enough money for the bribes, and she was tired of begging, she would stay outside of the building, on the stairs, for the entire night. 

Once she caught a terrible cold and ended up sick for a whole month, however, she could hardly afford the medicine. She was malnourished and weak after that. If not for the library that was open the whole night, she might as well have died. 

If that admin lady was younger, Eva would have given to her beloved Percy to play with. Too bad that old, spent blood and flesh, almost putrefying from the terrible diet she had, wasn't worth it. Eva couldn't let dear Percy eat such disgusting food.

So, she left her there, unable to move for perhaps the rest of that old hag's life. 

Forgetting that woman, Eva went up to her room, but she didn't have the key to open the door and she didn't know the password. Her roommate, Amanda, had never told her since the beginning.

Eva quickly broke the handle with a single movement of her hand. The feeble panel snapped instantly and fell to the ground. 

"Ah… Jason… stronger…more, baby!"

  Not a second later, after opening the door, the first thing she saw was her odious roommate with a man in bed, naked and having sex. She had already heard them as she walked through the corridor, but that didn't mean she would stop for them. 

"Ah… wait!" 

A woman with blonde hair screamed as the man pushed inside her harder from behind. Neither of them cared about stopping as Eva entered the room.

A few days ago, Eva would blush and escape with shyness reddening her face as she had never seen such a thing in her life. Now, she was not the pure and gentle Eva from before. 

She had hundreds of memories of when she roamed the world looking for the hidden pleasures of the flesh.

The young couple before her was nothing compared to that. 

Eva stood at the door with a smirk and slowly walked inside, not caring that they noticed her.

Amanda spotted her first after a few seconds. She was kneeling on the bed, sweaty and naked, with the man behind her thrusting inside.

"What are you doing here?!" She tried to stand up, but the man had no intention of letting her go. He was already reaching his climax. "I-I told you that you couldn't be here this week, fucking idiot! Jason… stop it… ah... I-I told you to go sleep somewhere else! Didn't you listen? Get the hell out now!"

Eva didn't move, she just looked at her with her eyebrow raised and her arms crossed. With a small smile on her lovely lips. Her beautiful green eyes darkened with every second.

"You should be the one to get out."
