Unique

Lilith

I got out of bed weirdly excited for classes. Don't get me wrong, school sucks, but I'm curious about what magic school is like instead of normal school.

I rolled out of bed with a huge grin and set to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair, put on deodorant, and did all the normal morning routine things.

I came back into our bedroom and changed into a new uniform. Sheila was glancing at me while brushing her hair. I told her about what I am in case she ever needs to know but so far she's just being overly cautious about me.

It annoyed me a little but not enough for it to show.

Apparently all the school had told her was that I am a special fusion and methods to calm me down. They didn't tell her much about my powers. Seeing her point of view wasn't impossible, her roommate and friend is far more dangerous than she knew. But at the same time, I'm still me.

Nothing about my personality or actions has changed.

I know she'll calm down and accept what I told her soon though so I'm trying to let her handle it her way.

"Excited to join the rest of us and actually do something?" she asked trying to sound teasing. She was quieter than usual though. But it's an improvement so I'll take what I can get.

"Of course, want to get breakfast with me?" I asked tying my shoelaces.

"Yeah sounds good," she sounded relieved, maybe the normality of the day was all she needed.

Sebastian was sprawled across my bed purring. I don't want to wake him up but it's safer for him if I can keep an eye on him. Gently scooping him up I tried not to wake him up.

Success!

We walked quietly to the cafeteria. I hopped into the omnivore line grabbing a donut and the lunch lady gave me a cup of cat food. The headmaster must have told the staff about Sebastian.

We sat at an empty table with Sheila eating a small bowl of berries. Water nymphs are basically lactose intolerant, she can eat animal bi-products but will regret it. But actual meat will make her seriously ill.

"Hello pretty ladies," Vex greeted.

I glared. Sheila just rolled her eyes.

"Hello Vex," I greeted.

"You know, your meals do nothing to help me figure out what you are," he complained.

"Oh no. I care so much,"

Vex just pouted. I'm still trying to figure him out, his bloodline is an extremely hostile one but he's always got this smile on his face.

"Retra, if you keep staring all you're going to do is be late to go get your schedule." Sheila reminded. I snapped out of it and started to eat my donut. "Are you sure you don't need to feed? You seem jittery,"

"I'm fine, Sheila. Just first-day anxiety I guess," I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Feeding, what does she eat besides human food ?" Vex leaned on the table, I could feel him trying to charm Sheila.

I flicked him.

"No charming my friend," I scolded.

"You always know things you shouldn't," he grumbled.

"Retra your eyes are glowing. Are you sure nothing's wrong?" Sheila asked.

"I don't know I feel weird," I mumbled drumming my fingers on the table.

My eyes locked on Sebastian. If something was wrong with me my familiar would be able to tell better than me since his emotions and perception wouldn't be altered like mine.
