~ Chapter Four ~
"I can't believe you. How could you lie to me like that?"
Le and I had made our way back to our dorm room, and were sitting on our beds.
"I don't know, I just…I just wanted to see him again."
"You wanted to see him again?" Le snorted a laugh. "I thought I told you he was dangerous."
"You did but-"
"But what Rae?" Her voice started getting louder, more angry. "You're gonna go see him again tomorrow and possibly get killed?"
"No but…but I don't see why you think he's dangerous. He seemed nice to me!"
She sighed angrily. "That's what all his victims say."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing. I'm just gonna have to keep you under lockdown from now on and keep watch of you."
"What?" I stood up abruptly from off the bed. "You can't do that! You're not my parent!"
"No, but I am a guardian of this school."
I sneered at her and clenched my fists. "That…that's not fair! You're just jealous that Kaname-sempai likes me!"
Le sat there for a long moment before she faked a laugh. "You really think that's it? You really think the reason why I'm keeping you away from him is because I'm jealous?" She got up from off the bed then and made her way towards me with an angered look in her eyes. "Man, you don't get it do you? I'm trying to protect you from him, and yet you think I'm jealous?"
The next couple of seconds seemed like a total blur. Before I knew it, Le was on top of me, baring her teeth, with her pupils turned to slits.
"L-Le?"
Without saying anything, she suppressed a low growl, and her body started getting heavier, started changing.
"Le?"
Her skin started growing white fur and her hands and feet started turning into claws. Huge and dangerous claws. Her body started turning into a wolf's and her back started growing wings. What I was seeing couldn't have been real, but it was.
Eyes growing huge from fright, I watched as she finished the rest of her transformation. I wasn't sure of what she was. She had the body of a wolf, but wings of an eagle.
"W-What are you?"
She lowered her head to mine and stared into my eyes.
"I'm a chimera Rae. A bloodthirsty being that could kill anything, just like that stupid Kaname you're so in love with." I stared at her with huge eyes, trying to take everything in at once. "Are you afraid of me?"
I shook my head. "N-No…of course not."
"Why not?" she growled. "I'm a hideous monster that can kill! You should be terrified!"
"But I'm not." I raised my hand to her cheek gently. "I know you Le, and you're not the type of person that kills for no reason."
She stared at me for a long moment before she turned her head away. "How can you say that about me, but not Kaname?"
"…Because I know Kaname."
"But you don't!" she shouted. "You don't know his true form!"
"Wait, his true form?"
Realizing what she said, Le backed off of me, turned back to her human self, and turned her back to me.
"Le, what do you mean by his true form?"
She sighed. "Let's just say…he's not exactly human."
"Not human?" I quirked a brow. "How could he not be human? Is…is he a chimera like you?"
"No…the complete opposite."
Before I could question any further, Le shook her head and looked at me. "Forget I said anything. Just know that he's a bad person and you shouldn't be around him. Now that you know what I am, you know that he's the same type of danger as I am."
I didn't say anything.
"So, now will you promise me that you won't go near him?"
Sighing, I couldn't help but give her a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I promise."
"Really promise?" she said.
"Yes," I nodded. "I really, truly promise that I won't go near him."
"Good." She put her hands on my shoulders. "I care for you Rae, and I would die if I knew something bad happened to you. That's why I'm so overprotective of you. I don't want to see you get hurt is all."
"I know," I said, putting my hands over hers.
"Well, now that we got that taken care of, and…you finally found out what I am…how about we go to that study group and study for our test?"
I smiled. "Sounds like a good idea to me."
Grabbing my textbook from off my desk, I followed Le out of the room to Pen and Zero's room.
"Hey, we're gonna have our study group," Le said. "You wanna come?"
"Sure," Pen said, grabbing his textbook. "But uh…I thought you had something to do."
"I did, but I already took care of it."
"Oh, okay," he said. "So, is Yuki coming too?"
"Yeah," I said. "We're gonna go get her now."
"Okay cool."
When we walked down the hallways, picked up Yuki from her room, and walked to the library to do our studying, I couldn't help but think of what Kaname could possibly be.
Let's just say…he's not exactly human.
Not exactly human? Okay…so if he wasn't human, and not exactly a chimera like Le is but the same type of danger as her, then what on earth could he possibly be?
Our study session lasted for a good hour before everyone started heading back to their rooms. Le stayed real close to me, looking down every hallway to make sure Kaname wasn't coming around a corner and trying to come talk to me. But I doubt he would've, seeing as though he didn't really like Le all that much.
When Le and I said goodnight to everyone and got to our room, I changed out of my outfit and into my nightgown.
"Hopefully I won't have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night tonight," I said. "If I do, I'd more than likely run into Kaname again."
"Well, if that does happen, you can always come get me," Le said, smiling. "I'll bite his head off."
I laughed. "If you're so worried about me, why haven't you done that already?"
"Because no one knows of my true identity and if I did attack him, it'd give me away."
"Oh, I see."
"But it wouldn't matter if it meant saving you from him," she said.
I smiled. "Thanks Le."
She nodded, turned off the light, and we both headed off to sleep.
Sure enough, I ended up having to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I hated my bladder for doing this to me, but I remembered what Le said and went to go find the restrooms again.
Surprisingly I hadn't seen any sign of Kaname while making my way to the bathrooms. Maybe he didn't want to see me until tomorrow because Le ran off with me at the party. But that didn't really matter to me at the moment. Le said he was dangerous, and she set a pretty good example, so I was going to believe her this time…even though I still had no idea what Kaname truly was.
After using the restroom and making my way back to my room, I saw a shadow creeping up behind me.
"Hello there Rae."
Tensing up, I slowly turned around to see not Kaname, but Aido.
"Aido-sempai? W-What are you doing here?"
"Oh…I don't know…just looking around I guess."
"Looking around? Don't you have classes going on at this hour?"
"I do. But…I kinda got thirsty, so I thought I'd come get a drink."
I stared at him. "Okay…so are you looking for a water fountain or something?"
He laughed. "Oh goodness Rae, of course I'm not looking for a water fountain. I don't drink that crap."
"Uh, okay, then what are you looking for if you're so thirsty?"
He smiled and his eyes turned a reddish color. "How about your blood?"
I shook my head, unsure of what I was hearing. "Excuse me?"
Without any further answer, Aido grabbed hold of my arm and pulled me into his chest.
"A-Aido-sempai! Let go of me!"
Eyes still red, he ran his ice cold hand down the side of my throat and slowly bent his head down.
"A-Aido…s-sempai…"
What the heck was going on? Why was Aido acting like this? What was wrong with him?
The next thing I knew, Aido's teeth sank into my neck and he began drinking my blood slowly. Feeling my blood being sucked away by him made it hard to think straight. I couldn't get myself to scream for help, I couldn't do anything. It was as if my brain had shut down and I went numb! But my brain did realize one thing, the one thing that Le couldn't tell me.
The Night Class was filled with vampires!
I am finally done! And again, I am so sorry for not updating this in forever! I just got out of school and am now trying to get into college. But, surprisingly, a Youtube video got me motivated and I got off my butt and wrote this chapter! So, now that I'm inspired and motivated, I'm hoping more chapters will come out faster than ever. But I hope you guys liked the chapter! Rae finally found out the truth about the Night Class and Le! Haha, I liked it a lot. Please review! I wanna know what you guys thought!
