Hell's Fire

Chapter 2

I Am Not One of You

Rin's eyes opened and Yukio turned to her, they didn't answer right away but soon enough one of them did. "True Cross Academy. You're in the health room of the Cram School located on campus grounds."

She gave a sigh, tossing the thin white sheet that covered her lower half elsewhere as she descended from the uncomfortable bed. "I'm leaving. I have work to do and unless you want those humans over there to be one of my victims, it would be best to allow me to do so." Her bare feet collided with the white tiled floor and a pleasant shiver went up her spine. It had been awhile since she had felt something cold. She shook her head, leaving her moment of daze before moving to the door. However, she felt eyes on her.

"It's rude to stare." The girl stated quickly, glancing back before making her way through the now opened door. She couldn't stay here, not as long as that pink and purple spotted lunatic of a demon still resided here. She knew her boundaries and she knew what was expected if he spotted her. Her bare feet padded against the tiled floor. The large halls were decorated as if part of a mansion and they stretched further still. Windows of stained glass lined the two walls and shined light onto her and the floor, adjourning the expensive array. She couldn't help but let a smile pass her lips. It was a beautiful sight and Mephistopheles had impeccable taste when it came to architecture.

She may have despised the demon but his skills were unmatched.

Her movement ceased and her ears perked, not bothering to turn as she heard a quiet, "tsk, tsk." The girl froze, shoulders twitching as her fingers clenched into fists. He spoke slyly, his footsteps easily heard as he only moved closer. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Isn't that right, y/n?" The male was close to her back, hands grasping her shoulder as he now seemed to whisper in her ear. "Ah, but that isn't what you're here for, is it? No, no, there's plans and it seems yours are beginning to crumble." She waited not a moment more, grasping his hands and digging her claws into the white fabric. She knew she reached flesh once the dark red spots beneath her fingernails began to form.

"I'm not here to cause trouble Mephistopheles. I'm leaving and now. So let go, or I'll burn this whole school to the ground." She could feel his smirk, the faint chuckling in her ear was more than enough to let her know. "Why not stay a while? It's been too long without seeing an old friend-"

A loud snap interrupted him, her mouth and nose having elongated with her teeth as she gnashed them in anger. "Fuck off!" Her growls echoed loudly in the halls, however, they ceased as quickly as they started. She grit her teeth, almost falling to her knees as blinding white pain burned her wounded side. A hiss left her maws and without having to glance, she knew the other was only smiling down at her crumbling form. "Karma, indeed, is a blessed thing." Another snarl and once more, the blinding pain in her stab wound seemed to increase. She barely noticed him mutter his usual countdown, not paying attention as he disappeared and the students from before were around her.

Transforming would do nothing to aid her, that she knew as the walls and such began to look like smudgy blobs. When she turned her head to peer towards barely recognizable faces, it was all a huge blur in her eyes. Her hearing was gone, dissipated with her steady head. She feared of losing consciousness again. Not something she wanted to happen after her last encounter.
