It was 1 in the morning. Also lunch time for teachers and students.
I was currently sitting in the teachers lounge, bathing in silence as I munched on my salad and chattered to some of the teachers.

I couldn't help but think about the strange yet true possibility of Ruki being in the school as I was as well. The mere thought of him made me want to bundle up, hide and and cry forever, but unfortunately that wouldn't work.
An uncomfortable tightness increased in the deepest part of my chest and I couldn't swallow the food in my mouth.
I felt like I was going to be violently sick once again and I decided to stand up quickly and throw the remaining salad in the bin in the corner of the room.
"Pardon me" I mumbled to the teachers in the lounge before pushing the door open and running to the nearest bathroom.
This was deja vu. The same thing had happened only a week ago and I was trying to think of why this was happening.
I barged unannounced in the bathroom and luckily no female students were there.
I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling my mouth water before I looked down at the sink and spat out whatever was in my throat.

Blood.

I gasped at the sight as I looked up once more, the whole place went quiet.
No more chatter from outside and no more of the noises coming from ventilation.
My teeth chattered and my tongue numbed, my body was shaking unbearably fast and I felt tears well up in my eyes.
A sharp stingy pain ripped through my throat and I screamed at the feeling, using my nails to claw at my throat in an attempt to make the pain go away.
The sharp pain travelled further and further up until it appeared in my mouth.
I could feel two hard, sharp objects in my mouth, I cringed at the feeling and immediately spat them out. But as soon as I looked down to see what they were, my eyes widened and my lip quivered with fear.

Fangs... my bottom fangs. The ones I lost centuries ago to the men who pulled them out from my mouth when I was a young child.
A tear dropped from my eye and I covered my mouth with the palm of my hand. A pained sob escaped my throat as blood trailed across my lips and down my chin.
The sting in my throat decreased but it didn't help I was still throwing up blood.
My other hand shakily reached down in the sink and thrashed around for my fangs, picking them up and jagging myself with the sharp pricks as I held them tightly.

The sink was full of blood. I cleaned my fangs under the sink tap and stuffed them in my trouser pocket, washing my hands soon after to clean the blood and saliva away.

"Eve..."
I jumped violently at the voice coming from behind me.
I rapidly threw my head up and looked behind my reflection, seeing someone I never thought I'd see in this situation. A blue haired boy stood behind me, with matching hooded eyes and pale skin that held not a single flaw. It was Ruki... as a young boy.
"R-Ruki..." I turned around fast and began to shuffle away from him as much as I could.
The boy in front of me had a twisted grin on his lips and stared into my eyes.
"I've been waiting Eve" his head was now level with my chest area and I was lost for words. This can't be real. This couldn't've been real!
"I've been waiting for you for so long..." he giggled, watching my reaction as I screamed and ran out of the bathroom quickly.
My heart was thumping in my ears at this moment, I was hallucinating and I didn't know where to go apart from forward.
"Eve! Eve wait up!" Yui yelled and ran up to me as quick as she could, grabbing my shoulder and pulling me into a hug.
"Yui! You need to help me!" I cried, tears leaving my eyes and blood still escaping my mouth.
Yui's magenta eyes shot open in shock and she gasped. Her hand grabbed mine and she started dragging me to the infirmary.
"Eve what happened?! Did someone do this?!" She shrieked angrily, a determined look of revenge plastered on her innocent face as she stared deep into my red eyes.
I sniffed and wiped my eyes, my body still violently shaking and my legs about to give out.
"H-he's after me..."
"Who's after you?"
"Ruki!"
Yui fell silent. She finally understood what was happening and she quickly flipped out her phone from her school jacket pocket, dialling what seemed to be one of my brothers numbers and she held it up close to her ear.
"Ayato! Please you need to come! Eve's in trouble!" I could hear Ayato shouting down the phone, asking many questions but not getting a single answer from the blonde.
"Come down! She needs your help!" And with that, she hung up aggressively and thrusted her phone back in her pocket rapidly. I'd never seen the girl look so unhappily angry in the short time I've known her.
I didn't expect it but I was glad she was able to help me.
