Mythical Creature Academy

Waking up

I wake up in a bed with a figure sitting in a chair next to him. I move around a bit but every bone in my body is sore. "Damien...?" The figure says to me, I look over and see it is Chris.

I also see that he has been crying."H-Hey ruby eyes..." I put on a smile and tried to sit up. My voice was scratchy and weak. I weakly grabbed Chris's hand and rubbed circles on his hand. "A-Are you o-ok?" I asked worrying about my new loves safety over my own.

"Heh...I'm fine...but your not.." He says to me.

"I-I'm fine..... okay not really..." my voice sounded even more raspy.

He crooks his head at me, worried. "So..that was Seth..."

"Huh.... so do you wanna explain him? You don't have to if you don't wa-" Chris's eyes start to glow red. "I-Its okay!! You don't have to! I don't want to force something on you if your not OK with it." I moved himself closer and hugged Chris to calm him down. His eyes continue to glow. "C-Chris? Whats wrong?" He doesn't respond, "Chris?!" I was getting desperate to know what was wrong. And if I caused it.

He just stares into space with a blank expression, eyes still glowing. "Chris.....please..." I was crying at this point, hoping I hadn't done something to anger him. He started mumbling in a unknown language. I finally thought of something to snap him out of his trance. I let go of Chris and stated, "Chris... if you can hear me... please don't hate me for this..." He continues mumbling.

I take a loud gulp, grab his chin and lift it up. I slowly place my lips upon Chris's, keeping them there for quite sometime. His eyes stop glowing and he comes back to reality, he realizes what his going on and closes his eyes, kisses back softly. I pull away and smiles. "Oh thank god... your back to normal!" I then hugged him once again.

He smiles. "Yeah..sorry...it was the calling.."

"If you don't want to talk about it thats ok. I don't want to force anything on you that you don't want." I pulled away from the hug and winced in pain once again. "Fuck..." I curse under my breath.

"What's wrong...?!" Chris asks me worried.

"When I crashed it must have messed up my sides. And my throat is still burnt." I said as I grabbed my throat and rubbed it for emphasis.

"Do you need me to call Professor William..?" He says picking up his phone.

"Haven't classes started?"I ask, then realize something, "And why aren't you in class?!"

"I was excused..he understands.." He says softly.

"Sorry I made you miss class... I feel terrible..." I looked away from him in shame.

He grabs my chin gently. "Its ok.." He says in a soft, loving tone.

"If you say so..." our faces were so close I decide to close the gab, once more kissing Chris. He smiles and kisses back softly. As the two of us continued to kiss we then heard a knock on the door. I pulled away and groaned slightly.

Chris looks at the door. "Uh....who is it..?" He calls out

"Professor William sent me. He told me to come here and check in 'Chris and Damien'. This the right room?" Yelled what sounded like a male voice from the other side. I knew who the voice belonged to, a person that I never wanted to see.

"Um..yeah!" Chris says getting up and walking towards the door.

I knew I had a look of dread on my face and i needed to act quickly. As Chris headed for the door I grabbed his arm. "Please.... don't open the door..."

"Whats wrong..?" He asks looking at me confused.

"I know who that voice belongs to... and his father killed my mother..." I was at the brink of tears. "Please... don't let him in...."
