Y/N's pov:

The past 72 hours have been out of control ring of fire for you. First you have a new thing within that wants out. Second your hand was completely mangled that it took 25 hours to heal completely. But the phantom pains have been haunting you like your Shadow's voice.

Thirdly, the moment your scream penetrated the air a never ending swarm of soldiers, doctors, nurses, and politicians trapped you in your room. Making it harder to run from your new hunter.

Lastly and most importantly, your vision and mind were spinning. Memories and stress were having a huge rave in your mind. Making you want to smash you head and crack it open so the headache can dance out of you.

"OKAY! Everyone OUUUUT!" Shouts Y/B/F/N, as she waves the doctors and nurses out of the room like their little kids.

Once their gone you flop onto your cushions with a groan. Your arm covering your eyes, granting you a bit of darkness. "How you feeling?"

"Like I'm going to puke from my ass and shit from my mouth!" You say glancing at her through the small opening of your fingers. "Just give me a minute and we'll get to work. I need to know everything that has happened since November."

She nods and gives you the run down without a second thought. You glance at her suspiciously.

So far, the enemies have been quiet thanks to your last interaction with them. Nevermore has returned to its normal functions with a new Headmaster who is a little to jolly. Tyler is still under confinement. The court has completely reactivated project X.

At the sound of that your stomach twists. Project X was one of the most controversial military and scientific project the Vampire court has ever done. In the first war against humanity your great Grandfather would capture humans and making them go through traumatic things to turn them into Hydes if they had the DNA for it. If they didn't they would used to feed the hydes. The hides were used as infiltrators and meat shields for the court.

If the normies and others find out about it, our enemies will pin everything on us! What is the council thinking!?!?

As she went down the list of other things you scrolled through your email and social media to see what was going on within the student body. Being careful not to "like" or show any activity. The media still didn't know your had awaken. Actually no one outside the council had!

Another headache was blooming at the thought of the press conference that will happen once the news get out. Then the mini one your classmates and out of the court friends would have. That will be the most intense one because no one really had much to show this summer. So of course they would look to you.

"And Wednesday?" You ask softly and slowly. Trying to make her name stay with you a bit longer as you stared at the selfie Enid forced Wednesday to take with her. Wednesday's face warned the viewer not to like the photo or even comment on it or else they'd be wishing they never made a social media account.

"Oh, same as always!" Chirps your cousin/best friend.

You smirk and try to stifle your laugh, "Social Butterfly? A big old rapper she is! Drastic difference between her and Evelynn."

"Yup! No wonder you both are a match! But you and Evelynn are a much better one honestly!"

With a slice from your fangs, you cut your thumb deeply to draw blood. Flicking the blood to the ground and snapping your fingers, your 4th demonic contract Luceses creates a pocket dimension within your room. Y/B/F/N did a jerking movement, as if she was trying to run before the room was sealed. But her shadow had pinned her down.

"Okay Neo, you can drop the act."

With a sigh and sinking shoulders. The girl turns and reveals pale skin, one metallic pink colored eye and one brown eye that matched her hair dye- right side pink hair and the left side brown. A massive mischievous smirk was drawn on her face.

In a blink of an eye she's on your lap with her hands wrapped around your neck. Kicking her legs, giggles. Bashing her eyes at you- silently telling you how did you guess.

"First, Y/B/F/N would never let me get to work immediately after I woke up. Second, she is against Evelynn being with me. Thirdly and lastly, she knows Wednesday isn't an extrovert." She does a raspberry before shrugging.

Picking her up to have her sit in front of you she cross both of her legs and arms with a pout. You point to your engagement finger and mouth "Evelynn."

Her eyes widen as she yanks your left hand to see if it was legit. She quickly signs why.

"I'll explain later. It would be better if everyone is there. I don't want to explain the whole fiasco a thousand times."

She gives you a deadpan expression that morphs to a childish tantrum when you flick her forehead. "Why are you here Neapolitan?"

She signs that she Y/B/F/N had hired her to keep an eye on you while she is away. She doesn't trust anyone here minus her brother. Which she agreed with. You nod, both of them were right. Currently it's hard to tell who is an ally, neutral, or an enemy. The emails you were going through only proved that.

"Well since your here you can help me with something." She nods excitedly.

"Call everyone. We're going to need all the mischievous, rule breakers, thieves, liars, cheaters, and assholes we can get. Oh and tell them not to worry about the minor details I'll cover them completely. They have 2 days to meet up at the hideout."

The candy-like girl tilted her head. You turn your phone over to show her the two emails you had pinned. The top one screamed Outcast speciesism and anti-normie. While the second the new Headmaster- headmaster Dorte stating that the welcome message was sabotaged by an outside force.

Looks like they're hellbent on taking down Nevermore.... I could definitely use the Crackstone attack as a lever to spread more Nevermore like schools internationally. That may piss these guys off.

"They are moving into the open. We need to make sure the board is under our complete control. It's time for ungentlemanly warfare."

Neo smiled wickedly at your determined face. She signs: 'you mean, true war.?'

You run your hand down your face a nod. A small chuckle tickles your throat but you shove it down. This whole situation was just becoming too ironic.

You were going to have your own version of project X. One that was safer but equally dangerous. Possibly even more wicked. Looks like your clean hands were going to get bloodier than ever. You could feel your fingers already getting drenched in blood the longer you think about it.
