Bound By Destiny

The Wreck

I forgot I have a Wattpad account, sorry.....

Kotori found herself frozen again, but this time it wasn't from any foul-play from the vampire and truthfully, she couldn't decide which one was worse. All she knew right now was that it was over, everything was over.

Something in Kotori mimicked the glass of her window as it shattered into a thousand pieces.

The frustration in Umi's growl changed to an almost wild roar just before it was silenced by the crack of an earshattering gunshot.

A/N: I accept my fate Xd

Nico looked blankly down at the assignment that somehow her professor had covered in a lecture and yet here she was, completely lost. At least her current surroundings were nice, much nicer than her small apartment anyhow.

Nico slumped backward into the comfortable cushions of the couch and rubbed her temples in a hope to release the building tension she could feel in her shoulders. Give her an acting gig, a young child to comfort to cheer up, or even an assignment to strike a conversation with a complete stranger and Nico could breeze through it like it was nothing. But give her a math assignment like the one sitting on the lapdesk resting on her knees and she guessed she would grow a few gray hairs before she managed to work her way through the damn thing.

A frustrated groan escaped the ravenette's lips and Nico let her head loll back against the couch while her hands dropped unceremoniously into her lap. The clock on the wall behind her read seven-thirty from her upside down reading skills and the only reason she was even awake in the first place was the complete chaos that had happened earlier that morning, courtesy of Nozomi.

A peaceful sort of ambiance had fallen over the large house since everyone, well almost everyone, had left for their flights to someplace even Nozomi hadn't mentioned. It probably had to do with being an extra layer of protection toward the angel liaison who lived here as well.

Nico exhaled slowly and closed her eyes as she tried for at least a few moments to simply relax.

Deep breaths Nico, she told herself and followed her own directions, in...

And out...

She had plenty of time before the acting tryouts this afternoon to complete this assignment so there was no reason to stress about it, right?

In...

And out...

She had plenty of time... at least she thought she did.

In...

And out...

Maybe she was forgetting about something, something that she was supposed to be doing before the tryouts and between her two classes today.

In...

And out...

"I give up," Nico deadpanned aloud and fixed the source of her irritation with a glare as she sat up straight and opened her eyes. "Screw you and your stupid-ass pressure, dumb math assignment as seven-thirty in the morning," she grumbled as she picked it up with a scowl.

"Cursing your assignment isn't going to relieve any of your stress."

Nico nearly lit the paper in her hands on fire in sheer instinctive fright at the sudden English with a mild rasp.

Remember when she had said almost everyone had left for their flights? Well there was one other person who didn't have a flight and Nico was supposed to be in a way, babysitting.
