Chapter: Eleven; Kayley, Luna. Enemies.
"Glass is a weapon that kills any type of vampire. I mean, we can still touch them, as long as it's not inserted into our body. If the glass doesn't spread, and you get it out quickly, you're safe. But once it's in your body for more than twenty minutes, the glass's silica spreads into your body, you're gone. Unless some miracle happens. Like some healing power. I don't know." Lukas said.
But Lukas wanted to train me using my darts. Perfecting my aiming. It was really hard. To be far away from the point you want to shoot. Finally, after two hours of training.
Twat.
My dart hit the target in where it should belong. Throwing another few more, it aimed. I've mastered my perfect aiming!
"Rosanna, what I'm going to train you from now onwards, is to perfect your perfected aiming, and to teach you how to throw a few darts in the same time."
Slowly, he taught me how to hold two darts using three fingers first. Shooting two darts was hard. By the end of the training, I was exhausted. I had to drag myself back to the apartments, with Raquel humming sweetly beside me. Standing outside our apartment door, was a beautiful teenager. She had long silky red hair. But her eyes although red, were mysterious like mine, but her eyes had a glistering sense of danger, and boredom. She wore a black knee length dress, with a white long sleeved jacket, and a pair of low heels.
"Princess Rosanna." She said, bowing.
Astonished, I bowed back. Her Italian accent was light, and she looked no older than me.
"Who are you?" I asked, wondering who had father sent to look after us.
"My name's Salvatrice. I'm here as a custodian to you." She said.
Custodian? But I myself am one. Why do I need one?
"King Antonio sent me here, to look after you, and protect you if needed." She said, her eyes and voice bored into mine.
"I see. Well then, come on in." Salvatrice nodded slightly, and walked into the apartment.
Salvatrice sat down the couch, as Raquel got us glasses of water, and sat down beside me.
"King Antonio is worried about you and Rosario. He sent me here to take care of you, while Mariano is looking after Rosario." Salvatrice said.
"Why?" I couldn't understand. Custodians don't have custodians looking after you.
"Because of what happened eleven years ago." Salvatrice said.
Eleven years ago, when we were just five, a few months before the incident happened, a huge fire broke out in the castle. The fire burnt our rooms first. Large timber dropped from the ceiling. And sadly, a huge piece landed on me and Rosario.
It burnt through our clothes, and hot on our skin. And when it tore out skin apart, large amount of blood was lost. Somehow, they managed to get us out of the room. Being a Swornblood, their blood could cure anything. Father forced us to bite him, and drink enough blood. He was, yes, young and strong, but still, to feed two of us was too much. He was sick for a week. He had to stay in bed until his blood was fully recovered.
When a Destinedblood drinks a Swornblood's blood, their system changes. Everything grows stronger, and the blood will have more Swornblood than Destinedblood's. And people would like to do experiments on us.
A few of us, Destined, Sworn, Spirit, were captured by crazy scientists to do crazy experiments. Of course, now, Rosario and I were, too, wanted.
"But... We're in the academy. What will they do?" I said, barely a whisper.
