Chapter 14 - Demon boy

I didn't understand why this was happening…one thing you think you met a cold dude on campus. Now he's fighting you as though it were his dying wish.

I wouldn't lose this battle, for my sanity. Since I've come to military school, one thing has been made clear…I'm not that strong.

I'm most definitely not weak but, all the members of my squad are bounds above me. I guess this was a gift from whoever was controlling the universe. So that I could prove myself, prove that I'm not a weakling. Prove that I won't die.

He stared into Mathew's blood-red eyes, he shook violently. A sinister aura envelops the entire hall. Within the blink of an eye, he had covered the gap between both of us. The dark shadowy aura had formed a claw around his fist, and without hesitation, he hit me once again in the gut.

I was thrown back to walls, hitting against them with a resounding this. I groaned in pain, trying my best to muster up the strength to fight. I got on my feet once again, blood droplets living their beautiful sparkle on the metal floor.

I began to extend my hair towards him, although the speed wasn't what it was at the start of the fight, I was significantly weakened.

Without much of an effort, he used his string to slice my hair. There was nothing I could do… I was weak.

A million little things ran across my mind, I began to see in a haze. Was he really a first-year student like me? Why was he fighting me? Who sent him? Was this just a sick twisted game to him? It all got so dark, I couldn't continue anymore.

.....

"What heck, my howl body hurts like hell", I slowly got up from the bed that I lay on. It took me a few minutes to remember what had transpired and to see where exactly I was right now.

I was in the med bay, I'd never actually been here before. I tried to get off my bed, but unfortunately with every movement I made, I would wince in pain.

"You should probably stay put, the nurse is getting a healing elixir, so you'll be out of here in about thirty minutes", I snapped my head to the source of the speech. It was Mathew.

"What the heck do you want, get away from home", I demanded in a cold icy tone. He simply stood there staring ignoring my comment.

He looked normal again, like a model student, like someone who would not dare to harm a file. He was blessed with a face that emitted innocence, but I knew what he was inside. He was a demon.

"Look okay, we're just having a friendly spar, how would I get to know you if I don't have a friendly battle with you first", he began to walk towards me. His arms folded tightly. I ignored his comment, this dude was a freak and I wanted to have it.

"Beatrix, I'm sorry… ok I might have gone a little too far. Let's be friends", he said. He smiled at me displaying a row of white teeth.

I decided to ignore him. I continued to do that for as long as possible. I had left the med bay, gone over to the cafeteria, had a meal, and gone for a short walk around campus. This dude was following through every single step.

"What the hell do you want!", I shouted out of irritation. He smiled, stretched out his hand then said "Let's be friends".

To cut the long story short, In order to get him off my back I accepted his weird offer. That didn't mean he let me get through. No. He still stuck around for about an hour or so.

In that hour I learned that; his last name was Grace, and he was from another squad platinum, this was another squad on the first-year campus. Most importantly though, he told me that his ability was called rouge shadow. He also taught me that whenever he uses his ability, he is sharing his body with another entity.

We had to part soon after. This was to my relief. No matter what he told me, he was permanently on my weirdo list.

I now had to find something to while away the rest of my day. I want sure. I most definitely was not going to train or fight until it came to Mr says classes.

I decided to walk over to the field, it had become my hideaway. Whenever I felt bored I would come here and chill.

As I neared the field, I saw someone sitting down on the grass. He was on my spot… I was going to have to get them to move away.

Upon getting even closer, I finally saw who exactly was sitting down there. Today obviously was not my day. Firstly, I ran into and was beaten up by a demon boy. Now my favorite spot was occupied by, Devin.

I wasn't going to bother having a conversation with him, another spoilt rich child. I disliked them all.

I walked over, took my seat a good distance away from Devin, and began to do my usual relaxation activities.

"Oh, you're here, mind if I join you?", I heard a voice calling from directly above me. I sighed out loud.

"Leave me the hell alone".
