Is This Love?

Chapter Three:

I avoided my roommates as much as possible, since it was already extremely awkward. I went in the shower to wash of all the blood on my arms and face, I had a long cut from the my forehead through my eyebrow, down my left eye and ending on my cheek. I quite liked the new addition to my face but I wasn't sure if it made me less attractive, I know I shouldn't care but I will see it every time I look in the mirrors and words hurt. I sorted my hair out so it was out my face and didn't bother with makeup except slight mascara to make my eyes bolder, i thought of the outfit I would like to wear and then it appeared in my wardrobe which was Amazing. I decided to wear a black strappy skater dress with a moderate sweetheart neckline that went down to my mid thigh, I added a black leather corset on top to emphasise my waist/ curves and black lace gloves that went to my elbow. I made sure to have on shorts so I wouldn't flash anyone and made sure my daggers were somewhat concealed on my thighs but still has two on show on my back. To finish my look i wore a slight heeled black leather boot that went up to my knees which still have ease of movement and would be comfortable. 

As I got ready I could feel the eyes of my roommates and their constant judgement which made me feel uneasy. I left the room as soon as I was ready and wondered the hallways, I slipped in and out of corridors, I noticed a pathway hidden behind a statue one way went to a more abandoned  part of the castle, there was a doorway with large wooden doors. It looked very intimidating but I was too curious not too look but to my disappointment it was locked and had no windows to peer inside, interesting I thought to myself. I made it my goal to get inside, I decided to go up the other pathway to see where it led, it was a stairwell that kept taking me up by the end of it my legs were about to murder me. Once the stairs stopped it opened up to a floor plan of two different room one had a very intimidating black door with red intertwined in the wood, In big bold letters read 'DEAN'S OFFICE' I gulped out of an unknown fear. The other door had no number or inscription but I imagined it was probably the Dean's Quarters and thought it was best to leave quickly. 

Once I returned to my own floor I looked at the time and realised the welcoming assemble had just started, shit I'm going to be very late. I ran over to the assembly hall which unfortunately was in the opposite castle across the bridge, the school for good, by the time arrived outside the doors I could hear the dean's, I assumed, talking to the students. Fuck! I pushed the doors open all eyes on me as I entered the hall head held high and took a seat at the end of the nevers side, the redhead from earlier watched my every move just like before. "Right back to me, the victors from last year will now grace us with a performance." a blond women said to the hall, she was clearly an ever as she wore a puffy gold dress with a large crown upon her head. With those word the sound of marching sounded around the room and a large group of boys entered dressed all fancy holding swords and began to fake fight to a routine. Then another boy came in and yelled "Call that fighting. Let me show you how it's done" which he then proceeded to fake fight the rest of the group, in the process one boy fell into me. "Hey!" I shouted in annoyance as I abruptly stood up, "Sorry" he muttered his voice trembling, I seemed to scare him the cut on my face didn't help. "How about a real fight. Instead of you infants flapping about sharp pointy objects" I called out to the main guy, "I can't fight a women" he retaliated, "Scared?" I questioned mocking him. "Your not even armed." he stated he response. "Pussy." I replied trying to get a rise, with that I lunged at him but he was more than ready for me so I dropped to my knees and slid underneath him grabbing my daggers and creating two large cuts across both of his legs. I heard several gasps, chuckles and a scream of pain from my opponent, for someone who doesn't like unnecessary death  I sure did get in a lot of fights. 

His blood started to trickle down his calfs and drip onto the floor in a steady pace, he spun around meeting my face and lunged at me with his sword but I easily side stepped out of the way. Several stabs and swings were initiated but easily deflected with my daggers or simply dogging, I created several more slashes across his body where as I only received a few bruises and one mild cut on my upper arm. My eyes darted across the room and made direct eye contact with the redhead who I presume is the dean of my school, i gave her a large smirk almost drooling at the sight of her before bending my back down avoiding the sword that was swinging where my head stood moments ago. I stuck my leg out spun around with force knocking him flat on his arse, I pinned my dagger to his throat and used one of my legs to pin down his dominant hand that held his sword. His hand dropped his hilt, "I yield." he exclaimed in defeat and very downhearted. Sighs of disappointment could be heard from the Evers and their dean look most displeased where as the nevers cheered and the redhead look very happy almost proud, she twisted her cane between her hands and chuckled with a cheeky smile while continuing to make direct eye contact with me. I released the boy and said my goodbye's which upset him more, I sat back on my seat away from the other nevers. 

The dean's then dismissed the students to return to their rooms, as I began to get up with the rest of the students I heard a bubbly voice call my name. I looked over to both deans who watched me cautiously, I slowly made my way over waiting for the other students to leave. "I'm Professor Dovey, the Dean for the School for Good. Since you missed the introductions." the bubbly dean said as she placed a hand on my shoulder, I felt a warm energy surround my whole body then my body felt like it was tightening it was a bit uncomfortable. I looked down and realised my arms were completely healed, I slowly placed my fingers over my face but that was healed as well.  "Thank you." I replied with gratitude "I apologise for being late and causing a commotion". "Don't be, evil finally won something" the redhead beamed "I'm Lady Lesso, your Dean for the School of Evil." she continued. Lesso I repeated in my head already loving the sound of it, "Will that be all?" I asked unsure what to do next, "Yes that all, my dear" Dovey replied. With that I turned and exited the room hearing whispers as I went.
