Abnormal Academy: Trial of Blood

Chapter 3: It hurts

Blamore left immediately after bringing her to the office for her to register herself, as if he didn't want to spend any more time with her. Zyla had this sinking feeling in her heart, unsure if it was relief or disappointment. Her mind wandered off as she remained in her position, watching as Blamore walked away until she could no longer see him. "He is out of your league." A voice came from behind her. Zyla turned immediately and came face to face with a boy who looked around the same age as her.

"Who are you?" Zyla asked, her eyes deadly. The boy blinked before a huge smile came onto his face. "I am Adrian!!! I am the officer here to register new students. It looks like you are one. So spill, how did Blamore find you." Zyla looked at him judgingly but decided that this person called "Adrian" would unlikely cause harm to her. "I am Zyla, Blamore picked me up in my orphanage." Zyla replied short and simple. "OH! So YOU ARE Zyla, great to meet you," Adrian said, overly enthusiastic,"You look nothing special though" Adrian ended sounding disappointed. Zyla rolled her eyes and asked," Well, should I be?" "YES! People who got Blamore's eyes on them are usually special. You are definitely special in some way for him to go and get you, let me check your profile…" Adian's voice drifted off as he ran away. Zyla stared as he dived into files, throwing out documents and digging into piles of papers. She was pretty impressed by his energy as she watched him going into one document and another. However, her mind wandered off again on the words Adrian said just now, "People who got Blamore's eyes on them are usually special". Zyla have no idea where she is special as she thought that the only reason she was sent here was that Ms Jennifer wanted very badly, to get rid of her.

"Aha, I got it!" Adrian exclaimed excitedly and punched the air victoriously. Zyla followed Adrian as she was also interested in what was recorded in her profile.As Adrian open the file dramatically, Zyla's heart was beating fast as the file slowly opened. To her disappointment, there wasn't any special in there about her, but there still were still something that caught her eye. She gotten in here for being a Psychopath? How on earth is she one? However, she was indeed amazed by how detailed the profile was which included her blood type, her detailed descriptions of her physical appearance, even her birthmark which she usually conceal from others. She then went to observe Adrian's reaction, he seemed to appear disappointed until his eyes landed on the last word on the document at the end of the paper; "Undefined" .

Adrian looked up, his expression hard to read. There were amazement, there were fear and a lot more Zyla was having difficulty to comprehend. "Y-you are undefined?" Adrian asked, his voice cracking. "Is that good or bad?" Zyla threw the question back. "I actually don't know, but what you should know is that I haven't seen this for a while." Adrian answered. Alarm bell started ringing in Zyla's heart. That was not a good sign. That meant this was most likely a bad thing. Adrian interrupted Zyla from her deep thought and said, "Maybe let me settle your registration now." Zyla nodded and set her thoughts aside.

To Zyla's surprise, there were a lot more things than she expected. She was given her uniform (how did they know her size), she was taken to take a picture, and she was assigned a room to live in. At last she was given a card which has money in it so she can buy things in the school. Zyla's heart actually skipped a beat, she couldn't believe this. Why did Ms Jennifer wanted to spend so much money on her, or why do anyone wants to fund her at all. However before she left she asked Adrian, "What if I want to leave the school, do I need to fill in any forms?" Adrian looked at her and paused a while before saying, "You know, you can never leave the school." "I can never leave the school?" Zyla repeated disbelievingly. Adrian nodded and said, "Well everything is provided in school so you won't need to go out." Zyla wasn't completely convinced by that but she thought as far as it looked, the school provides more than the orphanage do and perhaps Adrian just meant that she could not leave school before she graduates which seemed fairly well to her.

"Well, I guess you should now leave as I have nothing here for you for now." Adrian said and waved his hand at Zyla, bidding farewell. Well, Zyla thought, time to settle in. She didn't try to stay any longer as Adrian seemed to give her the the sign she should leave. She didn't have a lot of things with her, just a suitcase with some of her stuff. Ms Jennifer don't really allowed her to have a lot of her own things so those that she could pack are some essentials she has. However, all she felt was relief when Blamore arrived and got her out to here. Hell knows how much she suffered there and how much she needed a new environment for her to breathe. It was strange how her brain was hurting more than usual. Maybe the change was more than she could accept. She had to find her room first, she told herself, she needed to clear her mind desperately.

To her surprise, she saw Blamore again. He leaning against a wall outside of the office, as if waiting for someone. He eyes glanced towards Zyla's direction and his gaze landed on Zyla. "You are finally out." Blamore said coldly. Zyla shrugged before saying, "Are you here for me if not I am not going to waste time having polite conversations with you as I need to go to my room." Blamore raised an eyebrow at Zyla's response and replied, "I will bring you to your room."

The whole way to the dormitory was in awkward silence. Zyla didn't try talking and neither did Blamore. Zyla did have quite a few questions for Blamore but she was yet to be sure if Blamore was trustable enough. Blamore had been she would say unconditionally nice to her. That made Zyla felt suspicious. She didn't understand what was her value for Blamore. It all seemed related but her mind was in a mess for her to comprehend further. It didn't take long for them to reach her room. It was a relief that she could again get away from Blamore but she wanted to find out more about Blamore.

"Is there anything else?" Zyla asked seeing how Blamore didn't leave immediately after sending Zyla to her room. Zyla caught a smile that vanished immediately on Blamore's face. Zyla furrowed her eyebrows at the action. Blamore left without saying a word. Zyla's head was hurting more now. She locked the door before throwing herself to the bed prepared for her. It was soft, so soft that Zyla drifted off to sleep.

"You are finally here," a voice said, "We have been waiting for you."
