❖ Every Creature Academy ❖

Chapter 17

Salem P.O.V
I have the Vampires wrapped around my finger, they all grew to adore me in a short span of days just because of my looks.

It was now the morning, I was awake and leaning on a tree, everyone was still asleep.

My eyes wonder to the green boy, he and Gem look close, too close, a demon shouldn't be making friends with the living, it's stupid and ridiculous.

I felt a breeze and sighed, it's way more peaceful on Earth then in Hell.

No terror filled screams, no blood stains, no dead bodies, no crazy demon fights or getting ordered by Master.

I hate to say this but I see why Gem ran away, it's not as vicious and dangerous here, to be honest I would have too if I knew a place like this existed.

I look at the Vampires, they're not bad creatures, quite interesting actually. They sleep in the day and wake up in the night but manage to go to school in the day.

"Hm?"One of the girl vampires sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Oh it's only you"She yawned, Veronica Hemlock, she was the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes upon.

Skin as pale as snow, hair as dark as the night, fangs as sharp as blades, eyes as red as the blood.

I remember my first encounter with her.

Flashback

I was walking down the halls of Every Creature Academy with some of the Vampires following me. We walked out into the court yard and under the cherry blossom tree sat a dark haired girl laughing with her friend.

The wind picked up as petals and cherry blossoms gracefully danced around them.

I was mesmerised, I've never seen anything like her before.

We made eye contact as she smiled at me, I look away as a blush crept on my face.

End of Flashback

"Are you okay?"Veronica asked and waved a hand in front of my face. I blush in embarrassment and nod. Veronica giggles and puts her hand down. "What were you thinking about?"

"Uhh..about..how..to get out of here"I said, Veronica frowned and looked into the forest.

"Salem, be honest with me, how long do you think we'll be stuck here?"I shrug.

"Probably a long time"Veronica sighs.

"Why did it have to turn out like this? We're stuck in old demon territory and have no survival equipment"

"Are you hungry?"I asked out of no where.

Veronica looks back at me as her stomach growled, her face reddened in embarrassment, I smile at her, she's so adorable.

Everyone started to slowly wake up as she and her friend started to talk.

Some of the Vampires started to talk to me as I would simply nod or shrug to their conversations.

I sneaked away into the forest, I changed my appearance as I looked unrecognisable.

I run out of the forest and into the city.

When I got inside I started to act normal, I look around for a food store, a Supermarket.

I walk inside and had so many choices, so I did what I could. I whispered some words as the people in the store fainted, I can't leave any traces of me being here so death isn't an option.

I walk around and find food that I think would be appropriate to teleport.

After I'm done I see people surrounding the store trying to get in.

I teleport myself back into the forest.Man I should have done that earlier instead of running. I change back into my normal human version.

I sneak back into the spot I was sitting in, one of the Werewolves started to sniff the air as the other Werewolves followed.

All the other students looked at them in confusion, the Werewolves walked behind a big bundle of bushes.

"GUYS!! WE FOUND FOOD!!"The other creatures ran at lightning speed, Veronica came back with snacks, a smile spread on her face.

"Salem look! It appeared out of no where!"I nod as she frowned. "What's wrong?"I look at her in confusion. "You look tired, here"She gave me a chocolate bar.

"Thank you bu-"She crossed her arms and gave a angry pout, cute.

I open it and bite, she smiles at me as something fluttered in my stomach.

Why do I always feel weird around her? I wonder what this feeling means.
