"Miss Melbourne, can you get some coffee for me?" Miss Terwilliger said.

I looked up from the spell book I was studying. I said, "The usual?"

"Yes, thank you."

I sighed. I put the book and my things into my bag and went to get her coffee.

"Hey Melbourne, the usual?" Trey asked.

"Yes," I said.

"I thought you are out again, not studying in the library. You are always out these days. Are you dating someone?"

I was sure I looked embarrassed. I hope I didn't blush. "Can't you get anything out of Angeline?"

"Nah, she refused to say anything. That's why I am so curious. Who is it? Do I know him?"

"Ask Angeline. See if you can get anything out of her."

"You are implying you are dating someone, isn't it Melb.."

My phone rang at that moment. It was Jill. I was ninety percent sure that Angeline got into trouble again. Otherwise, they would not call me at this time of the day. They could tell me during dinner.

"What happened?" I sighed.

"Help us, Sydney! Help us! Angeline is bleeding. I am so afraid. They might be following us," Jill whispered.

"Calm down. What happened? Who are they?"

"Angeline and I were walking back to the dorm; the road was very quiet as other students were still having other activities. A few men appeared and attacked us; Angeline protected me and tried to fight back. There were about 5 or 6 men. They had swords. Angeline knocked out three men and we escaped. Angeline got a cut on her arm. It's pretty bad. She is bleeding. I am afraid, what should I do?"

No one was supposed to attack Jill. Lisa had changed the law. We were staying here because Jill didn't want to go back. She said it was stressful being a princess. She had friends and 'family' here. I stopped panicking after a few seconds and returned to my calm and logical self. My Alchemist instinct kicked in even though I was no longer exactly an Alchemist. They called me a 'royal Alchemist'. An Alchemist that is responsible for handling royal matters and talking with the Queen. They didn't want Alchemists to come into close contact with vampires any more. Since I was already having such close contact, I was responsible for all the 'close contact'. They didn't trust me.

"Where are you now? How is Angeline? Have you called Eddie?" I demanded.

"We are on a taxi to Adrian's place. I wrapped my cardigan around Angeline's arm to help stop the bleeding but it is not effective. But, it makes us less suspicious. Otherwise, a girl with a bloody arm is riding on a taxi who is not going to a hospital. I asked Angeline to call Eddie. I will.. Oh no, Angeline nearly faints. What should I do?" she whispered urgently and worriedly.

I was sure she was beginning to look suspicious.

"Calm down, Jill. You did a good job. Listen to what I say; pretend you are freaking out over a forgotten homework not a girl with a bleeding arm. Then pretend Angeline got a cold and you are taking your cousin home. I will call Eddie. Do not raise the suspicions of the taxi driver. Call Eddie when you arrive."

"Okay," she whispered. She then said loudly, "What should I do I forgot to bring my homework. The teacher will kill.."

I called Eddie. Keep calm, Sydney. You are not going to freak out. Recite the periodic table. Hydrogen..

"What is happening? Did something happen to Angeline?" Trey asked worriedly.

I raised my hand to stop him. "Eddie," I said, "Jill and Angeline were attacked. They are going to Adrian's place. Pack something, money, clothes and passport. Anything that is useful. Go to Adrian's place. Don't let anyone, including the students, see you. I will take care of the remaining things."

"I got it," Eddie said immediately. He was in Guardian mode.

"What happened, Sydney?" Trey was really worried.

"I have to go. Something happened," I said.

"I will go with you. Where is Angeline?" Trey followed me.

"What are you doing? You.."

"We are friends right? Angeline is my girlfriend."

I gave in. I gave him Adrian's place address. I then raced towards my car.
