Nyx Thorpe (18) is the older sister of Xavier Thorpe. Her parents send her to Nevermore a bit late in her academic life due to one too many students being strangles by her thorn branches. On her first day at Nevermore she catches the eye of a certai...
Standing outside the principals office just brings back memories from years ago. I take my hat off and I run my fingers through my hair before knocking. "Come in" I hear a familiar voice say. I push the door open with shakey hands and I smile when the blond grins at me.
"Nyx Thornhill.. what a pleasure it is to see you again..come sit" Weems says pointing at a chair infront of the desk. I look at the chair as i go to correct her but im interrupted by my own sigh. Some of my best memories were lived in that chair..like the night after the raven..when me and Morticia sat in here with weems whilst they filled in paperwork.
I sit down and I rub my thumb over the two scars on my wrist. The two scars caused by my love. She looks my outfit up and down and smiles slightly at my lack of a long skirt "i see you chose to cover up more of the upper part of your body than the lower..some things don't change much..".

"So I understand your here to work in botany?" Larissa asks and I nod. "Oh crap-...I was meant to pick up flowers but I forgot" I sigh to myself. She watches as I take my coat off and I place it on my lap before sprouting some lillies from my hand. I place them in an empty vase on her desk and she smiles "they are beautiful..thankyou".
"Ill show you to your classroom miss thorpe..lessons start in an hour" Larissa says as she gets up. "Oh its Mrs now...Mrs Stewart" I tell her as I remember about my marriage. She nods at me and we leave her office.
I walk next to the woman as she leads me to my classroom. The start of the day goes smoothly. I introduce myself to students and I think they like me.
I sit at the teachers table at the canteen at lunch as I eat my food. Im still a bit picky with food. About 3 years ago I fell back into my eating disorder. Ever since then the thought of some foods just makes me ill.
As im standing up someone sits at the table. They look at me and a look of confusion covers her face as I walk away. I sit in my classroom at the end of the day marking some of the students work. A voice makes me jump slightly "so it was you I saw earlier..".
"Jeez tish...you nearly gave me a heart attack..." I tell her with a hand on my chest. She looks over to the name plack on my desk and frowns "Stewart?..your married..". I nod slightly "for 2 years..hes at home with the cats and..im here though.". Morticia walks over to the desk and smirks at me "you married a man?..I thought the opposite since what we used to do was not very...what do the kids call it...straight activities".
I blush slightly and I look down. My eyes scan over the scar on my wrist and a small smile returns to my face. I watch as tish steps around the desk and moves me to stand. She takes my seat and pulls me down onto her lap "I've missed you mon cheri..thankyou for saving my job..".
I relax into her hold and I hold my wrist up to her mouth. She kisses over my wrist slightly before sinking her teeth into me. I lay my head on her shoulder as she drinks from me. I use my spare hand to play with her hair as she finishes.
Morticia holds my hand as she looks at my very plain engagement ring and wedding ring. "Is he good to you mon cheri?" She asks kissing my head. I nod "mhm...he..makes sure i have everything I need..he just..is very Christian.. and doesnt support the fact I like women too..".
"He should embrace every part of you..no matter his beliefs.." she tells me before pressing her lips against mine slightly. I shake my head a few seconds later and I pull away "we..shouldn't be doing this..I..im sorry tish..". She nods slightly and I get up so she can move "I understand..". Before she walks out the door she turns to me with teary eyes "goodbye mon chéri...know that im always here for you..".
At about 11.30 I head to my room for the night. Instead of sleeping i lay in tears as I think about tish. I've missed her truly..and I've just pushed her away..again. Im pulled out of my thoughts by the sun rising. I decide to get up and to get ready for the day.
