Sitting in the office for the second time this school year had a bit more weight this time as there was blood covering both Levi and I. He looked worse too after we'd been cleaned up he had bruising across his face, black eye, broken nose, bruised rib cage, sprained wrist and hand, dislocated shoulder, and the list went on. Long story short I did a lot of damage to him, and the pouring rain outside wasn't helping.

The thunderstorm that had set in had also effected the mood in the office before I glanced out the main window of the office which meant looking through the Vice Principal's office, it was the Principal whose office was set behind a wall however it also looked out on the front of the school.

Outside I could see the dense rain that was pelting the windows and grounds of the school however that didn't cover the sound of an engine growling in the distance.

Fuck.

I then watched the SQ8 pull into the school and park before a blonde haired woman who looked much like Lea, along with a man with equally as bright hair follow after both were dressed sharply and had clearly been at work in their offices when the school called, though the umbrella's they held steadfast above them was resisting the rain from soaking them.

Both adults quickly entered the school and when they stepped through the office doors they looked around before their eyes landed on Levi and I quickly noted how Levi looked somewhat like his mom, but aside from that nothing Lea however who I could mentally picture looked almost perfectly took features from both people in front of me.

"Who did you get in a fight with, Jesus Levi" his mom says kneeling in front of her son as he turned his head away.

Levi then looked pointedly at me, and to say I was sitting casually was an understatement, I knew what I'd done and I would willingly admit to it when questioned. If the school wished to kick me out it could, though for protecting someone the speed in which my parents would pull the last five years of donations which would actually make Thornbrook struggle financially for the following year would blow most of the Education Board's mind.

"You look familiar" the man says, and I instinctively stand and extend my hand.

"Nathanial Winters, and you are Daemon Raliere" I say firmly shaking his hand and only letting go once he had.

"Which means..." Daemon trails off looking out the window and I follow his gaze to the black and red Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport parking behind the Audi. I had never seen it park in the rain and it looked extremely intimidating, the lights seemed to make it seem like the silhouette of a shark looming in on it's pray with the red painted fourteen on the grille and if I wasn't the son of the man who was driving it I wouldn't have understood that it stood for this being his fourteenth Bugatti.

My father however was dressed in a black trench coat with black leather gloves, a crimson scarf wrapped around his neck to protect himself from getting the suit underneath soaked.

When he entered the building we all heard him walking through the building which meant he was doing it purposefully as a way to exercise power over everyone and everything here. Something I did find rather amusing because it always worked.

He stepped into the office less then a minute later and removed the scarf and coat wordlessly whilst everyone seemed to hold their breath as my father did so revealling the tailored charcoal grey Dormeuil suit he wore over a black pullover as another layer to showcasing his immense wealth.

What finally broke the silence was Principal Tollemer opening his door and seeing my father who gave the principal an unreadable look though I knew that they had met when my dad first got to Thornbrook so I would imagine there was some silent joke between the two men.
