Chapter Ten: Fangs of Remorse
It wasn’t really that late when Hugh and I got back to the Academy, it seems like it’s nearly nine thirty. I’ve stopped shaking when Hugh drove me in his black Holden car; however I was still scared if any vampires will pop out anywhere. I didn’t go straight to my dorm once we both got back, I headed straight to the first aid room.
“All finish.” I said after wrapping my wrist with a weight crepe bandage. “I’ll be patrolling tonight.” I claimed.
I looked up and Melissa stared at me anxiously. “Don’t look at me like that.” I begged.
She inhaled. “Well it’s kind of late, Tiffany, and yet you’re still patrolling?” she said standing by the door with her arms crossed.
I chuckled. “What’re you talking about, I only got this job today, so it’s literally my first time patrolling at night.” I said.
“Yeah but… you came back wounded though.” She moaned.
I smiled. “Don’t worry about me, Melissa, this is only… a scratch.” I lied.
She yawned. “You look really tired, so you better head back to your dorm.” I insisted while I got up and walked towards her.
She stretched her body and arms. “You’re probably right.” She said.
“Yes.” I said in a low tone.
“Mrs. Briggs made my class do such hard work today in P.E, because of -”
I didn’t interrupt, I just finished her sentence. “Sophie and, Lucy?”
She nodded. “Yeap. Trouble makers.” She said while walking down the corridor.
I chuckled while leaning my left shoulder by the door with my arms crossed staring at her as she walks continually.
I looked down staring at my bandage with blood rapidly appearing. “Just a scratch, huh?” I said unhappily.
I headed to the Guardian Academy, hopefully I wont bump into Hugh or anyone but just Edward, because I need to talk to him about what happened early on today.
I got to Edward’s front door, standing there thinking if I knock will her answer. Anyway, after waiting and standing there for nearly five minutes, I finally decided to knock.
“Edward, I’m coming in.” I said after having no answer.
The room was dark, cold and empty once I widely opened the door. ‘I wonder if he was in here earlier?’ I thought while looking around.
I closed the door and turned around while I looked at my wrist again. ‘That boy… was a vampire.’ I said while looking up.
I quickly looked over to my left after seeing a glimpse of how that vampire looked at me when his faced changed so fast. I sighed walking down the corridor, heading downstairs.
‘Hugh saved my life, my mind was filled with revelation, it was so distracted I forgot to thank him.’ I thought.
I kind of jumped after seeing a glimpse of that little boy, staring at me with those eyes that’s hungry for my blood.
I just stood there for a while thinking, after a few seconds I turned around and left the room. When I got at the end of the corridor, I stopped by the stairs on the second floor. I didn’t stop because that little boy’s face can’t get out of my head, but it’s because I finally found Edward, standing there in front of a big tall rectangle window. I stood there staring at him with his back turned to me, wondering how I couldn’t find him anywhere until now.
