Chapter Twelve:After Maya made sure that I was somewhat fine, she stood up from the chair that had been next to my bed in the clinic, still looking at me with mild concern, as if she wasn’t entirely convinced by my answer when I told her that everything was fine.She said while adjusting her bag on her shoulder: “I’m going back to the department now. Today’s class isn’t over yet.”I nodded silently.Then she gave a small smile and said: “Rest a little, Iris.”After that, she left the clinic quietly, closing the door behind her. I remained alone in the room.The clinic was strangely quiet. The walls were white, and the curtains were half open, allowing the faint moonlight to enter. The smell of medicine filled the place, along with the sound of a small device emitting a soft buzzing in the corner of the room. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened in the battlefield.The image of the battle kept repeating in my mind. Julia drawing ma

Chapter Eleven:I was sitting in my place on the stands, holding Maya’s jacket with both hands as if it were something precious. The fabric was slightly warm, and perhaps because of the tension, I was gripping it tightly without realizing it. My eyes were fixed on the wide arena below, where Maya stepped forward steadily toward its center.Her steps were confident, showing no hesitation or fear. She walked as if she were used to fighting, as if this arena was her natural place. On the other side of the arena stood her opponent, a girl from my class named Sky, who belonged to the demon clan.Sky was tall, with dark brown hair tied behind her head, and a cold gaze watching Maya calmly. She wasn’t smiling, nor did she seem excited like the rest of the students; she just looked focused.Professor Lucy stood between them for a moment, then raised her hand and blew a whistle, announcing the start of the fight.At almost the same instant, Sky dashed toward Maya at an incredible speed. Her mo

Chapter Ten:As soon as the history class ended, only seconds had passed before the room erupted into shouting and noise. The students jumped from their seats excitedly, chanting:"Fight! Fight!"It felt as if everyone had been waiting for this moment since the beginning of the day. Faces were filled with excitement, and the students began rushing toward the exit as if they were heading to a grand festival rather than a class.Everyone was excited… except me and Julia.Our expressions were almost calm compared to the others. There was no real excitement on my face, but rather something closer to hidden anxiety. As for Julia, she walked very calmly as if the whole thing didn’t concern her at all.We followed the rest of the students to the girls’ changing room. The corridor leading to it was slightly long, and its walls were lined with neatly arranged metal lockers. When we entered the room, the girls immediately started changing their clothes without hesitation.The place was full of

Chapter Nine: Despite the pain of the bite having completely disappeared, fear still controlled my body. I stayed awake almost all night, sitting on my bed watching the bedroom door anxiously. Every small sound in the apartment made my heart jump out of its place. I was afraid Kevin would suddenly come back and open the door.Hours passed very slowly. I didn’t know how long I stayed like that, but in the end I fell asleep without noticing.I woke up suddenly when I heard a faint noise outside. I quickly opened my eyes and sat up on the bed. My heart was beating strongly, and I immediately looked toward the door to make sure no one had entered. I kept watching the place for several seconds… but there was no one.I looked toward the window. Night had already begun to fall, and the sky was turning a deep blue darkness. I stretched my hand toward the phone placed next to me on the small table.I turned on the screen and found that a new day had already begun. I sighed slowly and kep

Chapter Eight: As I looked at my plate with disgust, I decided this time to finish the food quickly. I devoured it fast, but not with the same savagery that had taken over me yesterday. I tried as much as possible to appear normal, to act like any student sitting in the cafeteria with her friend.But even so, the feeling of thirst began to return once again.I had just drunk the blood juice in one go a moment ago, and yet I felt an intense dryness in my throat, as if something inside me was demanding more. I lifted my head slightly and looked at Maya, only to find her staring at me in clear shock.She said in a trembling voice: “Iris… your eyes are red.”I stopped moving.I said, confused: “What?”She leaned closer to me and whispered quickly: “Iris, please… calm down. Don’t act savagely like yesterday.”Seeing her so afraid made me regain my awareness quickly. I closed my eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath.I said calmly: “I’m sorry, Maya… I promise I won’t do anything.”Aft

Chapter Seven: Suddenly, right in front of my eyes, one of the girls placed her foot on Julia’s shoulder while she was on the ground. Then she bent down slightly and grabbed her by the hair harshly, saying in a voice full of contempt:“What did you say, you little slut?”I froze in place as I looked at her.I couldn’t move or even speak. It felt as if my body had suddenly become heavy, as if the words had disappeared from my mouth. The scene was brutal, and Julia didn’t try to resist. She was only trying to protect her head with her hands.At that moment, the girls noticed Maya and me entering the bathroom. One of them turned and looked at us with a cold stare that sent shivers through my body.Before I could do anything, Maya grabbed my hand tightly and pulled me outside quickly. We stepped into the hallway, and she closed the door behind us. I bent slightly, placing my hands on my knees as I tried to breathe slowly.I said:“Maya… why did we leave?”She turned to me quickly and sa
