Daughters of the Moon: Forthcoming Generation

Chapter 9: New Student

Winry waited outside of Stellar's first period classroom. She hadn't slept all night because her and Vadel had been listening to Jimena. Jimena had re-explained everything to Vadel and told them they needed to find the last girl quickly. Winry felt as though there was something more that Jimena was trying to tell, but she couldn't. What could she possibly be trying to hide and why?

Winry finally saw Stellar turn the corner and she ran over, "I was so worried, you could have told me you left last night."

Stellar smirked, "I'm sorry, but he was such a cutie I couldn't say no. I hope Jimena wasn't too angry with me?"

"I introduced her to Vadel so it made her forget… sorta."

Stellar yawned, "Thank goodness."

Winry caught the yawn, "Neither of us slept well I see."

"What school does Vadel go to?"

"That's a random question."

"But aren't you curious to know where your friends go?"

"I didn't even think to ask. I just assumed she went here."

"Have you ever seen her around?"

"No I haven't," Winry responded.

"Then what made you think that?"

Winry shrugged, "I don't know."

The bell rang. Winry and Stellar were about to separate when Blaire turned the corner rushing in their direction.

"Blaire," Winry stepped in her way.

Blaire attempted to move to the side, "I'm sorry."

Winry laughed, "Oh no. You're not sorry yet."

Blaire glared her eyes at Winry, "I'm late for class."

Winry gave a wicked grin, "Then maybe I should make you a little later."

Stellar grabbed Winry's arm, "Just leave her be."

"No it's fine. If she wants to hit me I'll stand here and take it. I deserve it."

Winry smiled, "At least you admit it."

Winry turned on her heel and left the two girls staring at her retreating form. Winry moved with the regal aurora of a queen. All she had wanted was Blaire to admit her faults, she didn't want to act on her impulses.

"I'm surprised she didn't hit me."

"She has a bit of a temper, but she's very understanding," Stellar explained.

"I really wouldn't have blamed her if she had hit me."

"Blaire, maybe if you would just talk with her, you could work things out?"

"Nothing can be worked out between us. It's too far gone."

Stellar was about to reply when Blaire turned into the room on the right. Stellar gasped at how late she herself had become and followed the example, rushing into her own room.

"Ah Stellar, nice of you to join us today."

"Sorry Mr. Billings."

Vadel looked around the school. She had gone to a private school for most of her life, but Jimena had recommended her transferring to the same school as Stellar and Winry for all of their protection. The safety of her three daughters was the most important thing to her. Vadel sighed unpleasantly. This wasn't the kind of environment she was used to. Although she seemed to have a cold exterior, she really was a cheerful person and didn't like the darkness in this new school. Vadel just shrugged her shoulders and entered the room she had been told to go to, then walked up to the teacher.

The teacher smiled warmly at her and introduced her, "Class this is Vadel. She will be joining us for the remainder of the year."

Vadel noticed Blaire and took the seat next to her. Vadel could be as sweet as pie or as venomous as a snake. If she liked you, there were no worries, but if you messed with her friends, there would be hell to pay. Vadel kept her icy stare on Blaire's face.

"What?" Blaire asked.

"Nothing."

Blaire rolled her eyes and turned back to her work.

Vadel kept her voice in its regular monotone way, "You're the one who set Winry up, right?"

"Who are you?"

"Blaire, you know very well that I do not permit talking while class is going on. Teach our new student good habitats please," the teacher reprimanded.

"Sorry Mrs. Smith," Blaire apologized.

Blaire shot Vadel an angry look then went back to doing her own work.

Vadel watched the teacher than turned back to Blaire, "Look we're not mad. You should eat dinner with us tonight."

Blaire shook her head, "I just can't. You wouldn't understand, but Winry hates me. More than you could understand."

"Please if you would just show up. Give it a chance!"

"If I show up and they tell me to leave, you'll all stop bothering me?" Blaire asked.

"I promise, but if they want you to stay, then you have to stay."

"Fine, but at the first snide comment I'm gone."

Vadel smiled, "They'll be glad to have you."
