The pride, the greed and the Jealousy

DARK [01]

'I've been trapped here. That day, the bastard bit me!! I can't deny.... It's humiliating but it's not that bad. My life isn't in danger as long as I don't run away..... Or so he said', looking out from the window from her bed. Lost in thoughts.

'Shutting myself up here won't do any good, I better go somewhere. I can't stay inactive like this', getting up, she put on a shirt on top of her chest binds. Approving the look.

"..."

'Are they also active at night considering they're vampires? Possibilities are high. Damn it'

With that, she head downstairs, to the living room.

[ LIVING ROOM ]

"What a surprise, to see you down here"

Caught up by the familiar voice, she glanced towards the direction, the male is having his tea time it seems. 'That uniformー students?',

"I won't shut myself in just because I don't like the place", stepping inside the living room, she leans against a nearby wall. Refusing to get close to him.

"As much as I hate your dreadful manners, I admire your honesty," a compliment, which is very rare coming from Reiji, still, she doesn't know.

"Whatever, I didn't come here to listen to you", with a scoff, she starts to head off.

"Hold on a minute, since you just have recovered, why don't I make you a special tea?", slightly annoyed by the female, he thiught he'd need to discipline her.

Stopping in her tracks as she looks back. "Huh? A special tea? For what?"

"Consider it as an privilege to have tea with me"

'I don't like his tone and this sense.... well, worse he can do is kill me', sitting on the couch as she watched Reiji make the tea. She could only see his back, nevertheless.

The sound of metal spoon against porcelain chimes in her ear, the teacup is fancy and aroma is relaxing. "Enjoy your tea"

"Thanks.... I guess", she takes in the sweet and relaxing aroma, but somewhere between the scent.... Something is mixed. With suspicion, she took a sip. The alarms went off in her mind.

'!!!!! As expected...'

Her shaky hands put back down the cup on the table, spilling some of it in the process. And covering her mouth with her hand afterward. Her throat burns.

"Poisoned.... you bastard"

"How boring, I was expecting a much amusing reaction", collecting back the tea cup, he held it in his hand elegantly.

".....This is actinium, is it?"

"I'm surprised you noticed. But knowing, won't help you. Won't you finish the tea? After all, I brew it especially for you", with a lift of his hand, he spills the tea all over her.

Her body and muscles going limp, she couldn't move a finger. She could only glare at him for spilling hot tea on her skin.

"You'll need to learn that it is no way to talk to me. It is very unladylike to swear. I suppose I'll teach you everything. How to treat your superior.
