You aways feel as if someone was watching you. Ever since you could remember you always felt eyes on you. Even in your first year at Night Raven College you have felt observed at all times.

When you were younger you wouldn't mind as much, you had your best friend Rook to help keep you safe.

You remember how happy Rook was that you had also been sorted into Pomefiore. "Magnifique! How splendid this is!" He smiled at you as he later joined up with you as your dorm house warden took your group to Pomefiore.

He had been your closest friend, not that you had many, to begin with. Though at times you did wish to have more people to talk to. So when you enrolled at Night Raven College you always tried to make friends, at least those in your dorm.

It never seemed to work out, unfortunately. Sure you would talk to them on a daily basis but you could never really call them your friends.

Being in a school filled with other boys it's only natural that some will pick on you, calling you names and such. You recall one time that a Savanaclaw member embarrassed you in class when you failed to answer a question correctly.

Sure, it wasn't that serious you liked to think. Even then you couldn't stop the tears from flowing as the bell soon chimed signaling that school was over.

A few other students came to your aid but you had enough and just made your way back to your dorm.

When you had arrived at the mirror chamber that same Savanaclaw member had yelled at you from across the room. "Aww, the little Pomefiore boy is crying!" He teased as he and his friends got a good laugh out of it.

Later when you finally arrived at your room you burst out crying. Laying your head on the edge of your bed as most of your body rested on the floor. You heard someone knock on the door and heard a quick, "Mon chéri, open the door for me will you?"

As you got up from your bed you sniffled as you opened the door. Rook hadn't even looked at you and he had already sensed the despair you held.

You swore you saw anger in his eyes for a split second as your breath hitched. Rook sighed as he brought you close to him. His hands began to pat your head continuously in a comforting way.

He whispered kind words as he led you to your bed. He laid you down as he caressed your face with his hands. "So will you please tell me what happened? A beauté such as yourself had no need to cry."

You told him what happened to you today. He seemed pleased as you also told them who they were. He nodded his head as he leaned down to give you a kiss on your forehead. "Don't worry my dear, I'm sure they won't do that again. So just get some rest alright? It's been a long day you deserve it."

He was right, the very next day when you went to class you hadn't found the boy that had said that cruel remark. You felt warmth in your heart as you must have realized Rook had done something about it.

Rook had always been like that and you smiled as you thought about how he had gone ahead and talked to the savanaclaw member.

Though you got a few weird looks from your other classmates. When lunch came around you were about to get up to go meet up with Rook when one of your classmates stopped you.

"I'm not sure if you know but you remember that guy that embarrassed you yesterday?" He asked you to which you nodded your head. "Well, I heard him and a few of his friends up and left the school altogether!"

Your eyes widened at that. You thought that they had only skipped class today or maybe changed class. "Huh? Why though?" You asked.

"I'm not sure that's why I wanted to ask you, I thought it had something to do with yesterday. Well if you really don't know then it's okay at least they won't bother you anymore." He smiled at you.

"Yeah you're right..." You said as you let out a nervous chuckle. You noticed him fidget around. "Do you wanna walk to the cafeteria together?" He asked you as you eagerly nodded.

As you walked to lunch you kept laughing at what he was saying. Once you arrived you're eyes instantly darted across the room to find Rook.

You felt a nudge on your shoulder as you looked to your left and found Rook. He smiled at you as he pushed your body towards him. You told Rook hello as you turned to your new friend.

"Do you maybe want to sit with us?" You asked with hope. When your eyes went to meet his you were left with disappointment, he was already gone.

"Don't be sad, you always have me." He laughed as he smirked. "Well...unless I'm not enough?" You nodded your head. "Of course, you're enough for me Rook, you are all I'll ever need."

As you began to walk to your table you once again noticed the anger in Rook's eyes. You saw him turn his head as you then did so too, trying to find what he was looking at. You knew it wasn't directed at you, but if it wasn't for you then to who? To the boy you came with? No, there was no way.

Ever since then, you've been feeling even more pressure. At times it's too much and you go seek Rook so he can calm you down. It's convenient for you really, Rook is always awake when you need him.

He would always calm your beating heart saying, "If you keep showing your fear to the beast then, mon chéri, you'll keep the beast on you until it captures you completely."

"Though I'm afraid it already is too late, I won't let you go." You heard him whisper. You raised your brow at this but he wouldn't elaborate nor bring it up again.

You always keep what he said in mind. You try to calm yourself when you're away from Rook. It isn't often but sometimes it's mandatory that you two separate.

You never fail to notice the fake smile on Rook's face or the anger in his eyes when he has to leave your side. Unfortunately what you do fail to see is the lingering eyes he always has on you
