"You're kidding me right,Eli?"Angelica stood up from her seat at their  table. Elizabeth was still in her gym clothes, she decided to grab a burger first before changing out of them.

She had told her brunette friend what had happened and she was wide eyed.

"Are you sure?Maybe it's just a group of other night class students."she suggested.

Elizabeth nibbled on her burger thoughtfully."Mmm. You could be right Ange. But these ones were really...pretty. and had this aura...of power? I really don't know what I'm saying but it was actually kind of weird. They told me the entire Night Class had been fretting about me. "

Angelica nodded her head. Over the past three days, she and everyone else for that matter had noticed how most of the night class would longingly stare at their table. Stare at Eli...like something they wanted to eat. 

It had drawn angry glares from some girls who funnily had their eyes on the night class. And made other boys notice Eli. Which she didn't enjoy.

"Why would that be though,Eli?" Angelica asked.

"I honestly do not know."she said. Elizabeth knew she wasn't ugly. But to draw the attention of the night class was not something she thought she'd be capable of doing.

Angelica sighed."Well. I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe we've been staring at them a little too hard."she chuckled. Eli chuckled too.

"Yeah. Yeah maybe we have. Let's take only intermittent glances from here on out."she proposed.

Suddenly, Carla shoved her way into Eli's seat and muttered. "Yeah,you do that. I will be feasting my eyes."she proceeded to stare.
 
"Don't you have work to do?" Both Angelica and Elizabeth voiced,then giggled.

"I'm on a break. Sides, nobodys gonna notice. I barely do anything anyways."

Eli shook her head and decided to go change before the very last class. She got out of the meticulously well kept girls showers and wiped herself down. Right after she had her bra and jeans on,she felt someone behind her.

She quickly turned around to see who it was.

Ah. Those girls who had been sending glares her way this past week. She saw one of the girls,a platinum blond one, scan her face,scrutinising it.

"She's not even that pretty. I don't get it."she whines to her friends. Elizabeth's translucent orbs shown in confusion for a while.

"It has to be something else."the blond girl said again. Her friends nodded in agreement. What were they saying? Eli didn't understand. Until she heard,

"Whatever youre doing to the night class, tell us now."the girl commanded. Eli understood now. She rolled her eyes and turned back to her locker, putting on her shirt. She straightened her ponytail and started to walk away. She didn't have to put up with a bunch of spoiled brats who had their eyes on the wrong guys.

"Hey! I said tell me!" The girl repeated shuffle running to get in front of her. Eli rolled her eyes in growing irritation. What was with this bitch.

She opened her mouth for the first time and said, "Look, class is starting. I think you should stop building castles in the clouds and leave me the fuck alone. Excuse me."she said walking around her. The girl stood, incredulous. She looked like she couldn't believe her ears. Eli rolled her eyes once again and walked out of the locker rooms to her last class.

Eli was doing homework at the breakfast bar while watching her godmother cook. Suddenly, she remembered the mysterious four. What had that been about? Why did they all(except for one)seem so interested in her. And what the heck was Vina Cruor??!

Eli suddenly remembered having seen Genna reading a Latin or Greek book. She didn't know. Or was it Italian?? She decided to ask. It was worth a shot.

"Hey,Genna."she called.

"Hm?" The short blue eyed woman said picking up a ceramic plate.

"What does Vina Cruor mean?"

Crash!

The ceramic plate lay on the floor broken into ivory shards. Elizabeth hopped off her stool to go pick the pieces up.

When she bent down picking the up. She heard Genna call her name.

"Eli. Where-where did you hear that?"her voice trembled.

"Um? School? A couple of boys, they-"

"We have to leave."Genna said, frantic."Go p-pack your bags we-"

Eli stood there with a ceramic shard in her hand. She should have known this would happen. It was never going to be different.

She should never have trusted Genna's words this time. She shouldn't have made friends with Angelica. Cos now she had to leave. But she didn't want to. She was tired of running away from whatever it is they were running from. She would not leave.

She clenched her fist around the blunt ceramic. "No."she breathed.

"Eli-"Genna begun with trembling eyes.

"I said, no.I am not running away. If you like, you can leave. Run away to another state, another continent until you're out of places to run to. I'm staying Genna. You promised it was different this time. You promised we wouldn't have to leave again."she growled, on the verge of tears.

"I-I know but Eli-"

"No. I am not going anywhere. You can't make me. She dropped the shard and gathered her books and dashed to her room before slamming the door shut.

Eli knew she was acting like a kid. But she was tired of it all. She wouldn't leave. She had Angelica and maybe she might have gotten attached but then that's why she wouldn't leave. She'd stay.

She would not run away.
