Where the bizarre is something of every day

Evangeline, Mefistófeles and Yuri appeared in a wide hallway with a lot of people, they were young in their most. All of them were carrying scrolls and heavy tomes with them; many were wearing robes or armors. The people looked at Yuri and Evangeline like nothing.

-¡Look, professor Evangeline has brought a new one! - said a student out loud among many others.

-¡She´s carrying a new student! - said another student.

Evangeline helped Yuri to sit up.

-¿is this….? - asked Yuri with astonishment.

-Yep, Arkham- answered Yuri putting her hand on Yuri´s shoulder.

A guy with a black hood approached Evangeline and extended his hand.

-¡Evangeline! ¡so you brought a new one! ¡ And Evan´s son none the less! - exclaimed the hooded man in joy.

-¡ Roy! - said Evangeline hugging the stranger.

- And this…- said Yuri quietly pointing at Evangeline.

-oh, right, I forgot you haven´t met. This is Roy Erich, teacher and master in the art of the sword- said Evangeline with a big smile.

Roy retired the hood and showed his face. His face had a big scar plowing his left cheek, of blue eyes almost hypnotic, with dark hair and pale skin.

-¿ Do all of the teachers met my father? - asked Yuri as he took Mefistófeles in his arms.

- Actually, many met him; especially the headmaster- answered Roy poking lightly on Yuri´s arm.

-The…headmaster? – asked Yuri with fear as he imagined a dark figure covered in shadows with crimson eyes.

-They used to be a couple- said Roy still poking at Yuri.

The fear grew within Yuri -I´m so….fucked…-

Evangeline punched Roy in the head.

-¡Don´t stun the boy! - said Evangeline quietly at Roy´s ear.

-O….ok- agreed Roy with trembling voice.

- Take Yuri to his room, please, Erin- said Evangeline to Mefistófeles.

-¿ What? - thought Yuri looking to his cat.

The cat jumped off Yuri´s head and landed on the ground. Then it transformed into a human, a young brunette boy of about 14 years old with yellow eyes and of thin confection.

Yuri jumped surprised.

-All right- said the young boy- come on, Tara- said the guy looking in Yuri´s direction.

-¡Hey! ¿¡Where is my cat!?- yelled Yuri.

-Here- said a cold quiet voice.

-¿Where are you? - asked Yuri.

A girl of apparent 15 years old materialized beside Yuri.

-¿Where did you come from?- asked Yuri impressed, then he felt a cold sensation- it´s cold….deliciously cold…

- Tara likes to use the invisibility spell a lot- commented Evangeline in a cheerful tone.

-Tara is a witch from the Cold Wastes- said Erin.

Tara was small, her height was the same that Yuri´s shoulder who was about 1 meter and 70 centimeters, of skin as white as snow, with hair so dark that any light reflected on it turned into dark blue color, of emotionless dark blue eyes . She had her arms extended towards to Yuri like holding something. She was wearing some kind of white shirt with long sleeves; the shirt was so long that it reached her thighs and some kind of tights and black shoes.

¿and my cat? - asked Yuri, then he felt something standing on his head.

Erin took Yuri by his hand and drove him by the hallways; Tara was gently pushing him from the back. They lead Yuri through many hallways until they finally got out of the academy and arrived to the academy´s grounds with lots of trees. At about 10 or 20 meters of the academy many buildings could be seen scattered though the grounds. The three of them got into the closest building and went upstairs to the second floor, then to the fourth room. It was a big room where all of Yuri´s belongings were.

Yuri felt how Mefistófeles jumped off his head and landed on the bed.

-we leave. Tara lives right above your room, I live in the room next to you- said Erin to Yuri.

Erin got out the room and into his. Tara went to the window and opened it, then climbed to her window.

-¡W…wait! ¡Tara! - said Yuri out loud.

Tara poked her head through the window- ¿What do you need, Yuri? - asked the cold witch.

-Disable the spell casted on my cat- said Yuri.

-oh, sure- answered Tara pointing at the bed with her finger, a brief flash enlightened the room and Tara left.

-This has been a crazy day- thought Yuri.

And what would be his surprise when he turned to the bed and saw a naked woman lying on his bed. Of gray cat-like eyes and hair as black as the night sky which length reach her breasts and covered them and reach the base of her back, of Moon pale skin and icy lips…she look like Tara a lot.

-¿¡W..what!?- exclaimed Yuri falling on the floor.

-¿ is there something wrong? - asked the woman.

-¿ If there´s something wrong?¡there´s a naked woman on my bed! - Answered Yuri-

Not like it really bothers me- thought Yuri.

-¿What? ¿woman? - The woman looked to herself.

-¿Who are you? - Asked Yuri keeping an eye on her.

-I´m –said the woman pointing at herself- Mefistófeles.

-¿ Are you my cat? - asked Yuri

- ¡I´m a Kitten! - replied Mefistófeles in disagree.

- ¿What on earth is happening here? This makes no sense- thought Yuri from the ground as he watched Mefistófeles lick her wrists.

Mefistófeles jumped off the bed, got on her four and crawled towards to Yuri; then huddle with him and purred.

-You look tense, ¿nervous?-asked Mefistófeles with disconcerted face.

- Impressed would be a better answer- replied Yuri.

Yuri got up and walked to his chest in front of the bed; he opened it and took a nightgown out of it.

-Here- Yuri handed over the nightgown to Mefistófeles.

Mefistófeles put the nightgown on.

-So, Mefistófeles…- said Yuri.

-Mefis- said the feline.

- ¿what? - asked Yuri.

-Call me Mefis- said Mefis once again.

Yuri looked at his pocket watch.

-it´s 7: 15 pm- thought Yuri- maybe I should rearrange my things.

And then Yuri started to take clothes out of his chest and put them into his wardrobe, placing books on shelves and putting alchemy stuff on the desk. Like for instinct he turned, and he saw Mefis watching him very carefully from the bed.

-Maybe what happened to Mefis is not that bad…she has been the only company I've had since my father´s death- thought Yuri with a small smile.

He checked his watch again.

-10:33, I´d better go and get some rest- thought Yuri taking his clothes off, only wearing his pants and a silk shirt.

Mefis got off the bed and got under it.

Yuri lied on the blankets and blew off the candles.

The moonlight entered through the window, and the wind singed a beautiful song. Yuri felt a sudden pressure on his chest, when he opened his eyes, Mefis was lying on him.

-¿What are you doing? - asked Yuri with his eyes wide open.

- This is the way we´ve been sleeping for the last 10 years- answered Mefis with her gentle voice.

-Well, the bed I quite big, ¿why don´t you sleep beside me instead of on me? - suggested Yuri.

Mefis stroke Yuri´s left cheek- you know; your eyes look like mine under the moonlight…-said Mefis with a voice as soft as the silk. Yuri blushed and then Mefis lied down beside him.

The Moon shone, the wind blew and the time passed. Later the dawn came and its warmth embraced the academy.

Yuri finally woke up and saw his pocket watch.

-¡7:35! - Thought Yuri-¡ I´ll be late!

-It was about time you woke up- said a cold yet warm quiet voice. It was Tara.

-¡Tara! ¿What are you doing here? - asked Yuri while his eyes were adapting to the light.

- I wanted to accompany you in your first day- answered the witch- hurry up or you won´t get breakfast.

Yuri felt something warm touching his arm. He turned to see what it was, it was Mefis breast. Yuri let a small scream out.

-¿ what is it? - asked Mefis with her hair tousled.

- Oh, it´s nothing, just surprised to see you- answered Yuri with a small smile.

-Yuri…- said Tara quietly while pulling Yuri by his pant.

-We need to talk- said Yuri to Tara.
