Caleb

She has spunk, my little mate. It was cruel of me to push an ecstasy spell on her. I overdid it a bit, and would be answerable to the school dean and the elf king as well, but I'm not sorry. I learned what I needed to, and Ruby Hunter wasn't strong enough to handle me. Why would they pair the four strongest bloodlines in the world with a human who can't even deflect a small love spell? I try to control my disappointment and put on the stupid uniform. It was tolerable to be in the Academy purely because of the decadent apartments we have, carefully tailored to each individual's rank and status, but the uniform was not flattering at all. My wings felt all cramped even though magic ensured the uniform fit around everyone's shapes and sizes, with a glamour making us all seem "normal."

Talon, Wolfe, Storm, and I were in the top-tier housing; we took up the elite section of the Academy, and our apartments were arranged in a circle, with a vacant single apartment in the center. There was only one level above us, and that was for the staff and founding families. Mossimus was the only student who lived among the teachers.

Speak of the devil, I spot him escorting our prey to her new apartment, all of the elven spells strengthening wherever she went, treated like precious cargo with the king himself putting protection spells around every inch of her. Poor baby looked a little lost; her eyes darted around, flitting back to Mossimus for assurance every few seconds. Very Alice in Wonderlandish, God, I despise weakness.

And weakness in the one who is meant to be my Queen? That would never do. The beings I have as enemies would break her body and spirit quicker than Mossimus broke my spell this morning. How am I supposed to work with that?

Then, impossibly, Ruby turned towards my apartment, where, admittedly, I looked like a pervert spying from the window, and despite the glamour disguising my true form, she saw me. I watched her eyes widen and laser focus on me. I couldn't look away to save myself, and her gaze peeled through layer after layer of my psyche until I was laid bare, lip quivering as I waited for the judgment that would surely come.

She waved and smiled at me, Ruby Hunter, weak little human, no powers to speak of, flayed me wide open in a second, I was fucking changed because of it, and in that moment, through the open gates of my soul, a blinding light forced its way through every atom, binding to me, becoming one, and when she looked away, the force pulling me to her remained, lighter now, I could resist it, but I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt, she wasn't human.

2. Mossimus.

"Hey, where have you gone? Earth to Ruby?"

Ruby's eyes were fixed on Caleb's quarters, and a quick glance in the same direction told him she could see him. Caleb was frozen, trapped within her gaze, interesting. Caleb had always been a law unto himself. He wasn't part of any select friend group, and truthfully, Moss thought he was a bit of a dick, but there was no doubting he was one of the most dangerous beings at the Academy, which made him such a vital part of the prophecy.

"Come on, love, you're starting to weird me out." Moss applied the tiniest amount of pressure to her mind, attempting to break the hold Ruby's eyes seemed to have on the demon, but he was rewarded with an arc of electricity, like a brain freeze on steroids, to his mind for his trouble.

"Ow!"

Ruby smiled and waved at Caleb, the way one might do to a friend, and then she turned to Moss as if nothing had happened.

"What? Moss, you're staring at me like I have two noses or something, it's getting weird."

You don't say? 

She really must have no memory of what just happened.

"Come on, unlock the bloody door so I can see my new digs, and get my uniform on!"

"Yes maam."  Without further hesitation, Moss handed Ruby the card that would unlock the door to her future, having no idea what that might mean.
