Manipulation

Ch 45 Last step, fresh start

I remember the first day i had arrived at Night Grace Academy. I remember feeling intimidated. I remembered the way people seemed like aliens around me, groups in which i wouldn't, couldn't fit into. And how everyone moved so differently, each group having there own air, no one moving from group to group. And now i understood.

I walked down the side walk, looking at people as i passed them, realizing what i had seen but hadn't seen.

The Vampires and there fluid grace, seeming to know where they were and what they were doing, they looked confident and sure of themselves. Have a weird edge that was both seemed at easy and alert at once.

The Werewolves, moving with lethal movements, proud in there own skin, but showing they weren't afraid to change as they moved around with easy movements too swift for a human.

The Witch's, who looked like they floated instead of walked, they're eyes always dancing over people that was both seductive and deadly.

Angels, with there inhuman movements that seemed both peaceful and swift, like they knew how every movement worked as they walked around at total ease, never rushing or panicking, their eyes grazing over everyone as they moved over the ground in silence.

Demons with deadly grace, walking around with eyes that roamed over their surroundings like they were constantly looking for someone but were talking there time as they walked slowly, each step measured.

And finally the Shape-shifters with easy movements that seemed like they were constantly slightly hyper, their eyes bright as they moved around quickly. Each one having a certain ease about them, a certain walk that defined them. Some moving with swift, elegant movements like a cat, while others seemed to bound around as they danced around people in there rush that was natural with them.

It felt like my eyes were finally open, like i could see the world clearly. I studied people as i walked around, Lucas's arm wrapped around my waist. Lucas moved easily, like he couldn't care less about the people around us who glanced at us as we walked around. I glanced up at him, wondering what he was thinking. His face was blank beside the tiny hint of a smile which i had no grown accustom to. He could never hide it from me, as much as he tried. His icy blue eyes turned down to me and the corner of his mouth turned up in a small, his eyes gowning more icy blue/gray.

He pulled me closer, then turned to look back to the building that loomed ahead of us. A small sense of unease came over me as he looked forward, his black hair swaying slightly as the wind blew it, touching my own hair and tugging at it slightly. Lucas shook his head, his hair quivering in the movement. "Oh Kat, i think your going to make me go crazy" he says gently and tugged at my waist.

I grinned at him, understanding what he meant when his eyes flashed slightly, the unease growing. I welcomed it and hugged Lucas's torso. "Later, i promise" i say pushing against him slightly so he stepped to the side slightly and he moved back over, pushing against me.

"You gonna get drunk again. I got to admit, your fun when your drunk" he says winking at me. I rolled my eyes at him and released him only to hit his chest playfully and he put hit hand over the spot, his face in mocking shock. "What was that for?"

"You said i'm fun when i'm drunk. So i guess i'm not fun when i'm sober then" i say playfully and give him a glare just as playfully which he greeted with a grin.

"No, your funner when your sober" he says pulling me closer by force and presses his lips to my forehead.

"You missed" i point out and lean up towards him. He grinned and pressed his lips to mine. After a few second though he pulled away making me pout which only made him chuckle before leaning back down at kissing me again, this time biting at my lip playfully.

"Ew! Guy! Get a room! I just ate! You trying to make me loose my lunch!" Emily says loudly. Angel and Bianca laughed slightly as Emily wrinkled her nose and made a disgusted face. A few people seemed to hear and looked at us as we pulled away.

"Your always eating" Lucas says mockingly and starts moving to the table again. We sit down as Emily throws him a playful glare which he returned. After a few seconds Emily looked down at her plate then back at Lucas. Suddenly she was throwing a grape at him. He grinned and moved so it landed in his mouth and chuckled as Emily glared at him again, upset that he had eaten it instead of it hitting him.

I looked around the table,feeling like everything was okay for once, like my life was finally my life. I looked at all my friends, wondering what they were all thinking as they laughed and joked. It finally seemed i had my happy ending.

But this only seemed to be the beginning of my life. Which meant more trouble was to come my way. I didn't know it was only a few days until i would have more trouble, walking though the cafeteria doors, the same doors i would walk though only minutes before. I wouldn't have suspected then, but it wasn't long before i wound learn how desiving looks could be.
