Chronicles of the Black Blood

x

It was still dark when I got up and did my morning duties. After that, I fixed the bag I was going to use and left my room using the door. I made my way to the broken living room, reminiscing every memory about last night, left my bag there and proceed to the kitchen.

Ronan, Lire, Ryan, Jin, Amy, Mari and Seighart was there.

Lire was making the breakfast with Amy then the others were sitting at the table. I pulled one chair and sat down.

"Here!" Amy cheered and put a plate of pancakes in front of Ryan.

"Thank you!" Ryan smiled back and dug in. Wonder why he didn't react to it.

"Here's yours Jinny!" Amy said and placed the one Jin owns in front of him. We all smirked at him (except Mari).

While Amy turned to get Ronan his breakfast, he mouthed us words (which we didn't understand) with tint of red on his face.

Mari then stood and decided to take care of the Maple syrup and glasses of milk.

"Here!" Amy told Ronan.

After they were finished with everything,

Amy drank up the last bit of milk and asked, "Hey guys, where's my little sister?"

"And Elesis, that is." Ronan said.

"Hm..." Amy said, "Lassy you go check my sis and Ron you get Elesis for us, okay?"

"What? Why me?" surprisingly, Ronan and I answered in unison.

I stared at Lire, why won't she ask her instead?

"Don't stare at me, I'm going to cook them food!" Lire smiled.

"Not me!" Ryan said, "I still have to water my plants before we leave for school."

"Not me either! My work up isn't finish!" Jin said. "I have to finish or-"

"Or you'll get fat. Of course, I understand." I sighed at him.

"Now, shoo shoo!" Amy said.

With no escape, I did as told.

Her room... was at the last floor next to mine.

I knocked once, then twice, then trice, and no answer. So... I decided to do what I later regretted.

I opened the door (which wasn't locked) and saw her lying at her bed, her blanket twisted and turned, revealing the tank top she wore yesterday but was a bit up, showing her body until her diaphram. She snored lightly, her right arm hugging her spare pillow.

"Lassy! What took you so long!" I heard Amy's voice from my side.

I felt my face heat up. Damn teenage hormones.

"Whoa!" Amy giggled, "That's peeking!" she tapped me. I turned to stare at her with a failed glare. "I can't believe this...!" she began to squeal, "Lassy's blushing! Damn!"

"For damn's sake, my name isn't Lassy and I'm not blushing!" I turned and began to walk back to the others.

I just knew I would regret this.

Arme's POV

Ice cream~ Cookies~ Drillmon! Hahahah!

Oh no, wait! Where are you going?

"Arme...!"

Wait, please! Don't leeeeeeave me!

"Arme!"

I was zapped back to earth. I opened my eyes and saw Amy staring back at me.

"Yes?" I sat up and yawned.

"Time for school, time for school!" she exclaimed. Wow, she's a great alarm clock, alright.

Oh yeah. Yesterday, just after I accept the invitation of being a Grand Chase member, Amy and Lire escorted me to this room and told me to sleep early because I would join them in going to school.

I was stuck with getting bored, or going to study AGAIN.

Again, because, during all of those sixteen years, I was kept in a place and was made to study different kinds of skills to get stronger, better, and end up as a sacrifice.

My sister ended like that.

She's so strong and yet she was just sacrificed. Her life, her power, she could have ended as a legend but no! She was killed merciless then her blood was used in a damn 'culture'.

"Arme, hey! We're going to get late!" I felt Amy tap my shoulder. "C'mon, take a bath in my room and I'll give you some uniform..." she just pulled me.

Lass' POV

I sighed and sat down next to Ronan at the living room.

"Hey guys!" Ryan came along. He held a pot of plant and placed it next to the couch.

"Ryaaan!" Lire exclaimed from somewhere around the mansion. She ended up at the living room with a cloth, wiping out the mud trails Ryan made. "What did I told you about your garden boots?"

"Ah... To leave them outside?" Ryan answered.

"Yes. Now what are you to do?" Lire asked.

"Wipe the trails of mud!" the happy go lucky guy exclaimed. The blonde handed him the cloth when just she gave us glances.

"What happened to you both...?" She asked, "You two look like you're both fried."

Ronan sighed, "I almost got my head sliced, again."

Ryan snickered, "What about you Lassy?"

"My name is not Lassy. How many damn times do I have to tell you that?" I groaned.

"I think he got pwned." Lire rubbed her chin, "What happened with Arme?"

"Tell us!" Ryan squeaked and stared at me. Ronan also stared at me with pure interest in his eyes.

I rolled my eyes and face palmed, "It's nothing, the idiot's just a little too hard to wake up."

"Details please." Ronan said with a small smile.

Oh... I do NOT want to recall the events earlier.

"That's just... it." I finished.

Thankfully we heard Amy's voice, breaking the attention from me.

"Guys! She's done~ My master piece!"

Arme did walked in. Her gaze was a bit hesitant to stare at us but she did anyway.

She wore, I think Amy's old uniform. It was a bit short, the white blouse was supposed to be long sleeve, but her's ended at mid-arm, just passing through the elbow. The length was fine and even the red skirt's.

"Apparently, I have no vest to lend her, since my two other got burnt." Amy explained.

"Courtesy of some cook." I remarked and gave Lire a small glance. Lire glared in return.

"Oh, yeah. Arme in case you still don't know, the blonde's Lire, the brown's Ryan, Ronan for the indigo, and the guy that was peeking on you earlier is Lass."

Yeah... whatever... wait, what! I do NOT peek on girls!

"Lassy? I thought nothing happened?" Ryan whined.

"I am not peeking on her, Amy!" I yelled. Well, with that, the damn teenage hormones reacted again.

"Lassy boy, eh? Peeking on the new girl?" Seighart then entered the room, running one had through his hair.

I sighed in annoyance. Then Mari came behind him. And Jin with towel around his neck, "Time to go?" Jin asked.

"Yes." I answered and stood up. I took my bag and head to the portal. The others followed behind me but Ronan caught up first.

"At least you were only caught peeking,"

"I am not peeking!" I replied.

"Yeah, whatever," He whispered, "When I just had to wake Elesis up, she pulled me to a tight hug and murmured something about not wanting to wake up."

"Boys would die just to experience what you did." I told him in a matter of fact tone.

"And they would carve to see what you did." Ronan returned. We both smirked.

"HEYY WAAAAAAIT!" Elesis' voice rang last.

Ronan and I got over the portal, and left to school.

xx

Arme's POV

Actually... I didn't have any clue about what's going on. But I heard something about eating decent food so I agreed on stepping at a blue substance they call 'Portal'.

Amy was standing beside me, giggling as she talked things to Lire. I didn't bother eaves dropping and when everything flashed into a bright light, the three of us were transported to another area where there are a lot of people walking around and chatting blatantly.

I turned and saw Elesis, Jin, Mari and what was the other guys name? I think... Amy called him Seiggy, so Seiggy's the name.

I flashed a smile as we all began walking, "Where are we?" I asked.

"Welcome to a place called School." Elesis answered, somehow sarcastically. I ignored the sarcasm anyway.

The place was huge, made of brick for a fact that everyone there was showing modernity. Is there even such word? Ugh. I don't even know what they call those things...

"Hey Arme, let's visit the Principal's office first."

I turned to stare at Ronan and Lassy? Did I got their names right?

"Aww, see you later Arme." Amy said as we past into a split road. Amy, Lire and Elesis took the left turn, Mari took the right one and I bid her a small good bye. Then, the three of us took the road in front of us.

I was silent the whole time. I tried not to ask weird things but damn, curiosity is eating me. For the sake of formality, I didn't ask why we stop in front of a wooden door with a different language carved on top of the door frame.

"Here we are," Ronan flashed a smile and knocked twice.

"Come in," we heard a voice ring from inside.

The indigo guy opened the door, and revealed a very classic room for people who holds the highest rank.

"Excuse me, here she is."

I stood before two women. Identifying Exii as one of them.

"Oh god..." the second woman let out a soft utter as she caught sight of me. This made me very uncomfortable. After a flat one minute later, Exii cleared her throat and this took the woman back to earth.

"I am sorry," she shrugged, earning a short glare from me. "I am Lori, one of the three founders of Serdin Academy. May I know your name?"

"No. Let's get this done." I answered. Ohh, I hate being judged on. They give me cold shoulders, and I would do the same. Heck, maybe doubling it.

"Uhh... Okay. What is your job?" Why would I tell her? Probably she look at me the same way she've done before. She would just despite me and... maybe loathe me.

"I don't have any." I heard someone in the room gasp, but I didn't care who. I just stared non chalantly at the woman judging me like dirt.

The Lori woman turned hastily to Exii with a questioning look, but Exii's gaze remained neutral.

"Okay..." Lori shrugged once more, "Then you will be going to the same class as Amy and Lass. Your rank would be F and job: novice."

"Thank you." I tried to flash a polite mask but it slipped so I just turned and left the room.

xx

Lass's POV

She left the room with a neutral look I first saw on her face. That girl sure is pissed off. Well, who would when you see someone grimacing that obvious at you?

Take note: She cares about getting judged like anyone else.

"I thought she was a magician? A mudblood for instance."

I took the mudblood part and closed my eyes to sigh. After that, I reo pened it again to stare at Ronan who was blazing with curiousity.

"May I ask what a mudblood is?"

Lori was taken back at Ronan's question. The woman straightened up and stared at the floor.

"The two of you would be told of this since you are now aware." She uttered and stared into our eyes, "There are only two kinds of magicians introduced to this school. The black magicians; referred as the battle magicians and the white magicians, the healers. But there is another kind of them that went extinct. The mudbloods. Cross breed of white and black magicians."

"What the hell is wrong with that then? Wouldn't you prefer magicians who can use both black and white magic?" I asked, trying to hide the sparking anger.

"Mudbloods," Exii took the explanation, "Mudbloods are able to summon. That's the difference dispite the crossiong of abilities. And what's wrong with summoning you ask? Well, they use their blood to summon monsters against other tribes."

"Wait," I paused, "This is getting a little too confusing. What's with the tribes?"

"Are they killers or something?" Ronan raised a complicated brow.

"Yes. You can put things that way." said Lori. "Mudbloods are then categorized as enemies to all tribes. Even their own tribe hated their existance. So all of the tribes came into a conclution to kill all Mudbloods and forget anything had ever happened."

"But if all Mudbloods are killed then Arme...?"

Then, damn bell rang.

There was silence after the signal was given.

Exii broke it with a, "I think, both of you should go to your respective class rooms. And Lass, since you're in the same room as Arme, please keep an eye on her. This is a secret mission for you and Ronan."

With no longer capabilities of declining the job, we accepted and walked out of the door. Ronan closed it and uttered a small, 'see you later'.

But from the wall, Arme leaned silently, I don't even know if Ronan noticed her but she sure is a bit stealthy.

I motioned her to follow me with her usual amethyst expression. A happy one- netural.

"Why did you chose to be a novice?" I asked, not looking at her, but she was keeping pace with me.

"Well... I don't think she needs to know." She smiled a small smile to me.

I shrugged, "You do not know what's life being a novice in this school."

"Yes, but I'll try and deal with that." Arme replied, her gaze was ahead and never loosing the cool composure. I looked at her at the corner of my eyes and she smiled back.

We took a turn and saw Ryan passing by.

"Hey dude, whoa. Hooking up with the new girl?" Ryan asked.

My brows twitched, "Shut up."

"Good morning." she greeted Ryan.

The three of us walked around and us, being only Sophomores, were left in front of the room. Ryan is Elesis, Jin, Mari, Lire and Ronan's classmate.

"Hurry up wolfboy, class has begun." I smirked playfully.

"Bye you two, see you at home!"

I turned in front of our advisery class door, slid it open then closed. I walked straight in, and told our teacher about the new student. Then I went to seat at my usual seat - near the window.

"Ah class, today on, a new student will be joining us. So everyone, be nice to her okay?"

Gossiping began in the room.

"Psst, Lass. Thank you for guiding her." Amy acknowledged my presence. Her seat is beside me.

"Yeah, whatever." I replied.

The door then, slid open, now revealing the new girl.

There! Chappie done. =)

See you next week!
