Mon Chéri

___________________________________Nyx

Sitting in the corner of the quad alone is my normal. I've never had friends. Just enemies..well..bullies. So I expect the same from Nevermore. I spot xavier spray painting a wall and I sneak over. I take some of his spray paints and I go back inside to put them in my room.

It gets to lunch and I sit alone again. I've never really ate lunch..if it was up to me people wouldn't need food to survive. I don't eat much..or at all really..id prefer not to put on weight so it doesn't add another r thing to my list of reasons to be picked on.

I feel a hand on my shoulder as im sat against a wall. I look at it and I notice the familiar black nails. "I'd sit on the floor with you..but I like my dress clean plus its the floor and there's benches around.." morticia says smiling at me.

I hum "I find it comfier and less crowded over here". "Are you not eating lunch today?..haven't you made friends yet?" She asks and I shake my head. "Nope..dont need to...and I don't need friends.." I say. I squeal slightly as she grabs my hand and pulls me straight up to my feet.

She holds onto my waist to steady me and frowns "I can feel your ribs mon chéri...go get some food" . I sigh and I walk over to the cafeteria. I look back over to morticia and I signal there's no food. She calls me back over using a finger motion and I sigh.

She grabs onto my hand as I reach her and im took to what I'm guessing is her room. She goes into a mini fridge and passes me a ham sandwich out. She sits with her hand high up on my thigh as I eat. After im finished i put my crusts in the bin.

Morticia pulls me so that I sit on her lap and she kisses from my wrist right up to my jawline. "You..haven't ate t..today tish" I mumble lifting my wrist up to her. "Are you sure mon chéri?" She asks.

I nod and she lays down on her bed. She lays me so im resting on her and kisses over my wrist. I hiss as she sinks her teeth into my wrist but the pain stops once she starts taking my blood.

After 5 minutes I start feeling light headed. "Tish..I have botany in a few minutes.. " I mumble. She detaches herself from me and kissed my cheek "Thankyou mon chéri..are you sure your ready to get up...no dizziness or anything?" . I nod trying to stand up without falling.

Half an hour into botany I start feeling drowsy. I put my head down on my desk as I try to keep myself awake. I hear a knock at the door and I don't bother looking to see who it is. "Miss fru-...Nyx head up please" Miss Thornhill shouts to me.

"Fuck off" I groan out. I hear her gasp and she goes to shout at me. "Marilyn leave her...Nyx come with me.." I hear from behind me. Hands go to my waist and guide me to stand up as I look at morticia.

She takes me out and takes me to Principal weems' office. As we walk in weems stands up and looks at us annoyed "oh for god sake morticia..did you not let her rest?". "I told her I.. was fine.." to be honest I just didn't want to seem weak infront of morticia.

Morticia takes me over to the sofa and lays me on it. She sits next to me and runs her fingers through my hair. I hear weems start to talk to morticia as I fall asleep. When my eyes open again we are in the same position.

I look up at morticia and I frown when I spot tears in her eyes "tish whats wrong?". She pushes me slightly so I'm sat up "Nyx..we can't do this anymore..us..we can't do us..your a student and I can't put you at risk anymore..". I look down and nod as tears run down my face.

I stand up and I rush out of weems office. I get to my room and the tears come quicker. What changed in the 3 hours that I was asleep? I mean..I get were she was coming from..but still.

I get up in the middle of the night and I go to the quad. I find a wall with a 'NO GRAFFITI' sign on and I rip it off. I take xaviers spraypaint out of my bag and I shake it. I cover my mouth as I start to paint.

I step back and I admire my work before running back to my room.
