The road towards true love and immortality

{#5: Tauris p.o.v.}

Tauris p.o.v.:

I don't understand, I'm not used to this. Why have I seen this pair of eyes the hole weekend? I asked myself over and over as I walked to the entrance of the school. What was going on? Everyone was staring at a girl, the new student, and to the car next to her. 'Nice' I thought as I saw the Porsche Boxter-S. But as she made her way trough the crowd I caught a glim of her eyes. We only connected for 5 seconds, long enough to recognize them. This was impossible this were the eyes, the eyes of my dream! The most special kind of grey, blue and green together. I felt very strange and so did she. She didn't felt human, she felt strange. It was fascinating, and that's what worried me. I had to talk to Richard. In stead of going to class I turned around and sped of to the castle. In the car I calmed down, a little. I didn't understand this feeling. What was wrong with me?

After talking with Richard I was more reasonable -as always- and went back to town. It would only be a short day of school. Anyway I had an appointment now, in town, and one during lunch at the castle. So I would be excused for most of the classes. If things went quick I still could take an part of my science lesson and I would be back in time for History and English. What was I worrying about? It wasn't even a half day of school.

My appointment went smooth I thought about skipping Science but, that would be me acting like a coward. So I went to school. "Sorry Sir." I said as I walked in Science.

I felt the anger of the teacher for me daring to be late, again. Oh yes he was pissed, I could hear it in his voice as he said: "Nice to see you found some time to join us, mister MacLeod."

"My pleasure Sir." I answered and I felt like toying with someone so I was very happy that I could annoy him some more by showing him the note that would excuse me from his class in less that a half-hour.

"I sometimes wonder why you do all the effort to come to school, Tauris." he said with a disappointed voice he just tried to hide the hate he really felt for me.

"In the hope to learn something, I guess." I said with a friendly smile and looked how he narrowed his eyes. He hated me, I could feel it, and he hated me even more because he couldn't make me a thing. My grates were fine, I had a reason to be excused so often. I even think he was jealous of me. Stupid humans, they should know. Jealous of me, nothing more than a monster!

"Of course, keep an eye on your watch. We wouldn't want you to be late." he said mad.

I just nodded took a seat in front of the class, when I felt something. I knew that feeling she was here, the girl was here in this class. How could I not have felt this before? Oh right I was concentrating on the teacher. She felt like she was enjoying something. Like she was entertained, but confused at the same time. She was considering something. I didn't know what that might be and I couldn't allow myself to be interested. I felt frustrated. Sometimes being immortal was really a pain in the ass.

Lucky me I had to stay for no longer that half an hour.

As soon as it was time I stood up and walked out. Happy to leave school in one way and anxious to leave the girl behind. That second feeling frightened me more than anything in the world. I could not want her to be near me. I was dangerous! She would be in greater danger with me than without me. Or so I was telling myself over and over again.

My appointment was with an old friend of mine. Marcus had begged me to see him. But I had refused to leave my presant residence here in Scotland. I knew what he wanted. He wanted to change me to make me normal again. Well he wouldn't have luck with that. I had made up my mind a long time ago. As soon as I was free from his coven. I had taken my own way. The way without murder. I had chosen to not be a monster or at least try not to be. And I had done it for the last hundred fifty years.
