The Pleiades Academy

Unavngivet Kapitel 12

She was laying on the floor in a a big dark room, a blue light shinning through a hole in the wall was the only light source in the room. She tried to get up from the moist floor, but her leg was trembeling under her. Her dress, that now had dark mud all over, had once been a bright white silk dress. She was crawling over the floor scrabing her knees on the rough stone floor. She was getting closer to the light, when she felt something sharp digging into her ankcels and pulling her away from the light. She felt the warm blood running as she cried out. "AHHHHH PLEASE DON'T" She screamed as tears was running down her face. "LET ME GO!!!!" She digged her nails in the uneven floor, trying to hold onto something. She sobbed, when she felt the skin on her fingers getting ripped apart, as she failed to hold onto the floor. A high pitched scream escaped her lips, as the sharp thing around her ankcles, dug deep into her flesh.

She fell out onto the the floor, as she screamed. She quickly realized, that she had fallen onto Cyrus, who apparently had been sleeping on the floor. Cyrus arms flung around Bedelia and pulled her back against her. "Sshhhh.... i'm here.... just breath." Cyrus whispered in her ear, her voice raspy, as she had only just woken up. Just Cyrus' heartbeat calmed Bedelia down, and Bedelia allowed herself to begin to cry, not sobbing, just silently crying. Cyrus ran her fingers in Bedelias curly hair. "Shhhh... it's okay... just let it out." Cyrus whisperd as she kept running hair hands through Bedelias hair. Bedelia took a deep breath, smelling a sweet scent of parfume, suspecting it was coming from Cyrus. Cyrus pulled Bedelia even closer, arms around her waist. It cormforted Bedelia, made her feel safe and loved, but then at the same time made her feel a wierd kind of nervousness, something she had never felt, forming in her stomach. She felt Cyrus hand wandering cormforting up and down Bedelias side. Bedelia shivered when Cyrus' cold, smooth, soft hands accidentally touched the bare skin by Bedelias waist, something meant to be cormforting, just made the nervous feeling awaken again. This feeling made Bedelia feel like she needed to get away, but then again, never wanting to leave. Ever.

After an hour or so Bedelia woke up, she hadn't realised how tired she had been, but this time she wasn't laying in her bed, she was laying on a madress on the floor. She tried to move, but that's when she realised, that Cyrus was holding onto Bedelia, with her arm around her waist, holding Bedelia close to her. Cyrus' warm breath tickled at the tiny hairs on Bedelias neck. Bedelia shivered at the feeling and tried to move again, but this time Cyrus pulled her closer and whispered, close to her ear. "5 more minutes... pleeeaassse." She sounded tired and her voice was raspy. Bedelia once more tried to ignore the clutching feeling in her stomach, something she could not describe with words, something new she didn't know what meant was happening to her. Maybe she was sick, maybe thats why her stomach felt wierd or maybe, mayybe... she...s-she... liked... NO! Stop it she didn't, no, of course she didn't, she was just sick.

She waited the a minute before falling back asleep thougts still racing through her head. When she again woke up, Cyrus was gone. Bedelia sighed in releif, but her relief soon disappeared, cause just that moment Cyrus stepped in the room. "I see your awake." She smiled sweetly at Bedelia. "The othrr girls a in the living room, are you coming?" Cyrus asked. "Yeah, i'll be there in a minute." Bedelia tiredly rubbed her eyes. Her vision was slightly blurred, but she could make out a nod from Cyrus.

Cyrus left Bedelias room and Bedelia slowly started to get dressed; she ended up just wearing a blue dress, and since it was saturday, she didn't have any classes to attend.
She walked at her room to the living room where the others girls were waiting. "Goodmorning sleepyhead!" She heard Chloe's sweet voice chiming from the little kitchen, where only a kettle to warm water stood. "Mmmmorning..." Bedelia said in a sleepy tone. Aldora Eas sat reading in the couch and didn't seem listen to what was happening around her. "How'd you sleep?" Chloe said walking in with the kettle, the water still bubbling. "Fine... i guess" Bedelia answered at she planted herself in the couch besides Cyrus and Aldora. Now Aldora looked up. "Oh... Goodmorning Bedelia." Aldora said and smiled before continuing to read. Chloe had now poured all of them tea and Aldora picked her own cup up without even looking away from her book.

Bedelia sat dossing off as she slurperd a big mouthfull of tea. She blinked more and more for each minute. "Are you still tired?" Cyrus asked sounding a bit worried. "A bit, i don't know, i just feel so-" She yawned interrupting her sentence. "-Feel more tired than ussual." More she didn't remember, cause at that moment she fell asleep, closing her eyes and bumping down into Cyrus' shoulder.

She woke up an hour later, slowly opening her eyes. She was laying half ontop of Cyrus while Cyrus was reading in a book. Cyrus' hand were in Bedelias hair, running her hand through it. Cyrus realised that Bedelia had woken up and asked. "How do you feel?" Bedelia rocked deeper into Cyrus' arms. "My head hurts." Bedelia said in a low voice. Cyrus' hand began to massage Bedelias scalp. Bedelia moaned in relief as the pain began dissolving. Bedelia felt the same nervous feeling she had felt this morning coming back. Damn it. Why did it only come whrn she was around Cyrus?
She could feel cyrus smirking, and thats when she realised what sound had escaped her lips. Her face grew hot and Cyrus chuckled behind her and her chest bobbed with the sound. "I better get up now... i- i uhmm- was supposed yo meet with Terran- so....." Bedelia stammered over the lie. "Really~? Have fun then" Cyrus said and Bedelia coild hear she didn't believe it. "Yeah, see you later" Bedelia said as she clambered of the sofa and began walking towards the door. "Bye" Bedelia said as she closed the door behind her.

'Fuck fuck fuck.' Was all that went throuhg her head as she made her way to Terrans dorm room. She'd knocked impatiently on the door atleast 20 times, before a puzzled looking Terran opened the door. "What are you-" Bedelia cut him off, pushing him back into the room, a hand over his mouth. She closed the door behind her without moving her hand and frantically looked around the room to see if anybody was there. Luckily, no one was. "I have a problem" Bedelia finally blurted out. Terran took a hold on her wrist and moved her hand that was still on his mouth. "I figured as much. What happend?" He asked her. She leaned her back on the clised door. "Thats the problem. I dont know what's happening." She said in a dull tone closing her eyes shut. "I dont know why im feeling like this." She said now more panicked and let her back slide down the door until she was sitting on the floor. "Its like i'be changed. All changed, somehow..." Bedelia kept her eyes closed avoiding Terran expression. "How is it changed?" Terran asked dloely seating himself inftont of Bedelia. She bit the inside of her cheek and sighed. "Theres this feeling. Its deep, deep down in the pit of my stomach." She realised her cheek and took a deep breath. "Its like a nervous stinging and it comes and goes." She said panicking. He looked pitying at her. "When does it come?" He asked. "That's the thing... it- its whenever C-Cyrus is near me.... -when she hugs me... when she- when- when she runs her hand through my h-hair... -i- ... what do i do?" Bedelia stutterd warm tears running on her cheecks. "I'm not supposed to feel this way." She was tearing apart on the inside. Terran gave her a sad smile. "It's okay... you like her, dont you?" He asked. She nooded. "How could i not." She cried. "-And she's a girl, it's not how i'm supposed to feel." She burried her head in her hands. "Maybe it is how you're supposed to feel. You know, i get how feel." Terran said assuringly. She looked up him. "What do you mean?" She asked wiping her eyes. "Well... i like boys... so, yaeh i know how you feel." He said a gave her a pitying smile. Bedelia imeaditly swung her arms aruond him, burrying her face his shoulder. He pulled her in, hugging her tightly. "I'm glad you came to me." He whispered. She smiled weakly. "Thanks for teling me, you know." Bedelia said. "Always." He said hugging her tighter.
