Ultima Blood - Aaron's Year

Graduation Days(part 1)

Two more days till graduation

I woke groaning of the pain. I sat on my bed and whipped the bandanna on.
My eyes have been on and off making me very uncomfortable. I got ready and walked to the cafe. Seniors didn't have classes being Graduation is in two days. I saw Blaze and he ran over and hugged me.
"Hey." He said.
I smiled and then saw a man with black suit stare at me. I pushed Blaze away and sighed.
I turned my head and saw many more of those men. The students on campus were confused but the teachers had all simply said it was Safety.
I knew the truth.
Those people work for my father. He's sent people out to keep watch of me. When he found out about me and Blaze he had a whole talk with Blaze. Blaze said we should break up by the end of the year and I smiled. I had been planning to do that. I couldn't bring Blaze let alone anyone into my life after college.
It simply wasn't an option.
"Hello?" Blaze said snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Hmm?"
Blaze shook his head and laced his fingers in mine. He took me to the cafe and he tried to get me to talk. I said a few sentences and then sighed.
"Blaze..I have to go." I lied.
"Why?" Blaze said standing up.
We walked out side and sat on a bench.
I was about to say some excuse when Aphmau came bouncing towards us.
"How are the love birds?" She sing songed.
"Not in the mood..." I muttered.
Aaron appeared from behind her even though he had already graduated.
"Aaron?" Blaze said.
"Hey Blaze! The teachers allowed some student from last year come on campus until graduation. I arrived this morning!" My brother explained.
I growled, causing Blaze to put an arm around me.
"You okay?" He asked kissing my cheek.
I pulled away from Blaze and stood up.
I turned and tried to walk off when an arm gripped mine. I saw Aaron smiling at me.
"Haven't seen you all year sis! Lighten up! Your almost out!" He laughed hugging me.
I tensed and pushed Aaron away.
He looked at me confused. Blaze walked up and squeezed my arm and I calmed down.
"You okay?" Blaze asked ignoring the gangs worried looks.
I nodded.
I opened my mouth to speak when a pain filled my head.
"OW!" I yelped startling everyone.
I put my hands to my head and shook it violently.
"Sis!?" Aaron's voice called.
I felt arms surround me and heard Blaze trying to calm me down.
"It..hurts..." I complained leaning into his chest.
"A lot happened. Things aren't well." Blaze said.
"What's wrong with her?" Aphmau asked.
The pain died down and I pulled back panting. I winced at the call of my name.
"Hey, sis. What's wrong?" Aaron said hugging me.
I was in too much pain to push him away. And too much shock.
"Y-You don't know?" I asked Aaron.
Aaron shook his head and I clenched my fists.
My head stared to ache and I turned around and my body tensing.
"Let's drop you off at your house." Blaze said.
"House?" Aaron repeated.
I went pale.
"Yea. Altea doesn't have a dorm here. She said she was staying at home." Aphmau explained.
Aaron started at me and crossed his arms.
"She told me that she had a dorm. She hasn't been home since summer vacation." He said.
Blaze and Aphmau turned to me shocked.
I looked down and pushed Blaze away.
I looked at all three of them clenching my fists and pain building.
"Leave me alone" I growled causing Blaze to look worried.
I turned ignoring the pain and ran into the dorms and ran to mine. Bodyguards surrounded both sides of my door and they opened my door and I ran in. I wen to my bed and flopped in it panting. I shut up as anger filled my head. I turned and punched a punching bag. It fell off its stand and ripped, causing the sand to spill. I panted and looked out my window and spotted Blaze talking with Aaron and Aphmau. The rest of the gang Including The graduates from last year were also there.
"Altea." A voice called.
I turn to see my father. I was going to snap but then I took a deep breath and sat on my bed.
"Did it hurt again?" My father asked with no emotion in his voice.
I nodded and then turned to him frowning.
"Aaron doesn't know? He doesn't know what your doing?" I asked.
My father narrowed his eyes.
"Aaron doesn't need to be involved with your mess. Get control of your eyes Altea. I have work to do. I can't keep stopping by." He growled and then left.
I sighed and took off my bandanna and looked into my mirror. Crimson eyes stared back at me. I calmed down and took deep breaths. I started thinking of things that used to make me happy.
I was desperate for my eyes to change back. I watched calmly as my eyes flickered. The red much more light than its been in three years. I smiled. I put my bandanna on and walked to the main room.
"So father got you your own dorm?" A voice asked startling me.
I looked up to see Aaron. I looked down.
"Yea...he did." I said.
Aaron stepped closer to me and gave me hug. I hugged him back and my breathing became shaky.
"I-It hurt A-Aaron. M-My eyes.." I told him.
"You went through a lot in the last four years. Your strong. You'll get the hang of it. Come on. The gang is waiting downstairs for you." Aaron said leading me out the dorm.
I flollwed him down and saw the gang smiling and waving.
"Blaze went back to his dorm." Aphmau informed me.
I smiled and hugged her.
"Hey you dumb potato." I said quietly.
Aphmau giggled.
She had gotten used to nickname. We teased her about it a lot but it's wasn't to bad where it was an insult.
"You still wear it?" Laurence asked.
I looked at him and stayed silent.
"Laurence is right...sadly...we haven't seen you eyes since high school!" Travis exclaimed.
I paused for a minute and then looked at Aaron. He was just staring at me. I bit my lip and took a step back. I reached my hands above my head and closed my eyes as the bandanna fell into my hands. I tied it around my wrist and opened my eyes slowly.
"What color are they?" I asked slowly.
They all smiled.
"Amber-Hazel." Lucinda smiled.
I grinned and hugged them all.
We walked to the cafe and students on campus stared at me. I heard whispers all around about my eyes.
"Looks like your the talk of the campus!" Katelyn joked.
I laughed.
"Maybe!" I said.
"Ehm. Ms. lycan?" A voice said.
I turned and grew tense. One of the bodyguards was right next to my group.
"y-yes?" I asked.
"Mr. Lycan said you are to wear your bandanna on at all times." He said.
I looked down and walked up to him.
"Listen here. Jerk. My father will not tell me what to do. I will live my life the way I want. If Mr. Lycan has a problem tell him to come talk to me on my last day. Now buzz off!" I snapped.
The bodyguard looked at me and then looked at Aaron.
"Leave." I heard him say.
The body guard turned and left and I spun to my friends fuming.
"What?" They all asked.
I shared a glance with Aaron and we shook our heads.
I think I'm getting tired of getting controlled.
