"Go talk to her already. You've been standing here staring at her and it's starting to get weird." Finn folds his rotting arms, looking annoyed at Xavier, who's fangs were out as he covered his mouth.

"Cant." Xavier confesses, his eyes staring holes into her back. His eyes almost going animalistic, before he controls himself again.

"Why? Luca isn't gonna bite you- Waaaait. Dude. Dude nooo..." Finn realizes, covering his face with his rotting grayish greenish hands disappointingly, he groans, almost sounding like the zombies in the movies.

Xavier puts his hands in his pocket, shrugging, "She's the only one here with actually blood that isn't rotting or some shade of blue. Sorry if I catch a whiff," He says monotonously with a hint of sarcasm. He pushes himself off the table Finn and him were leaning on, "You said you wanted me to talk to her?"

"No no! Dude don't-" Finn grabs onto Xavier's hoodie, trying to hold him back. Before the hand itself rips off Finn's wrist, "Eh- Dude my hand! 'Vier! My hand- How am I supposed to look different from Felix now?!" He exclaims, looking at the bone that has been newly revealed.

Felix, Finn's twin brother, reacts to hearing his name called and throws his head over to Finn's table, "What's up bro? Oh- Look no hand buddies! Oh wait you can't look- Sorry I'm getting ahead of myself." Felix laughs at his own joke. Finn rolls his eyes, but decides to start a conversation anyway.

Xavier walks up calmly behind Luca, before stepping beside her, "Hey, are you new?" He questions, monotonously .

"I am. I'm Luca, you are?" She introduces, reaching a hand out for him to shake.
Xavier looks at the hand. Rule number one of the school is no feeding off of other students, no matter how good their blood smells. And he knows this, and he thinks he's fairly good at following it- because no one really has a nice blood type in the school.

But, when a nice life form- Healthy, Slim, Dark skin with white hair- He doesn't know how genetics work- With AB negative blood, He finds it kind of hard to control himself and his fangs. Mostly his eyes.

He takes a breath and takes her hand, smiling as his fangs decide now would be a good time to reveal themselves. "I'm Xavier."
He hears a quiet gasp from Luca and opens one eye. No matter how quiet she tries to be, Xavier's advanced hearing would always catch something he'd rather not hear, "Hm? Is something wrong?" He questions opening his eyes. Another gasp. He immediately knows that his eyes decided to go animalistic by the drastic change in his vision.

His eyes immediately attract themselves to her neck, where instead of seeing skin, there's a view of her veins. Each vein, each blood vessel, each beat of her heart. It uses every single part of himself to keep him from biting her.

But- When he gives in and steps closer to her, a head flies over the bookshelf and Xavier immediately catches it, recognizing the black hair.

"Finn." He nods.
Finn smirks, "Guess I just saved the day. But my hand is stuck to your hoodie, can I have it back?"

Xavier, with his back turned to Luca, Looks behind him, "Can you hand me that rotting green hand that's in my hoodie?"

Luca reluctantly nods, reaching for the hand and handing it over to Xavier like it was a dead rat. Xavier smiles and shoves the hand into Finn's mouth, causing him to gag. Xavier picks up Finn, sitting his head in his hoodie. "Thanks for saving me back there." He starts, once they get away from earshot of Luca.

"It's all in a day's work, bro. But let's not repeat a situation like Jess',  Aight?" Finn offers, suddenly going sympathetic.
Xavier groans in annoyance, "Suure. I think Jess caused that relationship tho. And you gotta be honest, I was really strong after that relationship." Xavier jokes, walking over to Finn's body, who was holding Felix's head, making Xavier concerned with where his body went.

"Yeah dude, you actually ran track outside. How surprising~" Finn laughs.
"What's up Felix?" Xavier changes the subject, placing Finn's head back on his neck, and gets out a thread and needle.

Felix's head smiles, "Oh nothin, what's up with you?"
"I imagined you saying a joke." Xavier confesses, sewing Finn's head back in place.
Finn grabs his hand and twists it back into place, adjusting it until a click is heard, he then twists his wrists before getting up, "Now, let's go find your body, Freddy." Finn picks up his brothers head, before turning back to Xavier, "Why don't you head down to the cafeteria and grab us some lunch? Since we'll be studying in here all day."

Xavier nods, before wings burst from his back and he lifts off the ground. Finn looks at him, unamused, "You could have just teleported."

"There's a rule against that. To prevent collisions with werewolves. Any who I'm out!" Xavier waves before flapping his wings and flying off rather quickly. He takes his phone out of his pocket, scrolling through Twitter. He flips onto his back, humming as he reached the cafeteria doors, and lands safely.

"Hmm..I didn't ask what they wanted...oh well." Xavier mumbles to himself, making his way over to the exit. He was just about to walk out the door when someone taps on his back, in between his wings. Xavier, alarmed, frantically flaps his wings, before turning around with a confused expression.

He recognized the person as Luca, "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know who you were...kinda scared me there." He confesses, leaning his folded wings against the door and folding his arms, nonchalantly.

"Oh, sorry. I just wanted to tell you that your wings are really cool. Also how did you grow them? Would you mind if I touched them??" She questions, smiling.

"It's fine, but since we're sharing compliments, You smell really good! I also don't understand how your hair is so beautifully white- OrHowyourbloodtypeisABnegative, Woulditberudetohaveasip?- And how your skin contrasts with your hair is so pretty!" Xavier smiles, spreading one wing for Luca to touch.

Luca runs her hand down the top of the  wing in amazement, blushing slightly from Xavier's compliments, "Oh? Thanks! Also how did you know my blood type was AB negative? I don't remember telling you, But you can have a sip if you want. Though it would be breaking a rule, so outside ma-"

Xavier wraps an arm around her waist, before stepping outside and flying into the air. Luca gasps and almost screams before Xavier turns into his back, sitting her on his stomach, "Sorry if that was too sudden. I thought the air was where no one would see- besides the Harpies."

Luca looks amazed as she looks around. She almost looks down before Xavier blocks her view with his wings,
"Let's not look down- I heard in health class that human's blood pressure increases or something, and I think that would be quite annoying- considering I can hear your heart beat."  Xavier smiles awkwardly.

Luca nods, keeping her eyes on the stars. Xavier, deciding to attack when she's distracted, quickly leans forward and sinks his fangs into her neck. Luca gasps and almost pushes him before he releases Strychnine into her veins, paralyzing her.

He hums and flies in circles, waiting for the effect to kick in, "Don't take this the wrong way, but my pheromones didn't seem to work on you, so this was a last resort. You really are pretty though, so I'll bury you in a pretty ditch, Okay~?" He smiles again, seeing as she's already paralyzed and bites her, draining her of every drop of blood, then flies off quickly, trying to find the pretty ditch.

He didn't find a pretty one but he found a ditch.
