A loud scream echoed through the quiet room. The teacher had been explaining algebra and fell silent with shock when she heard the scream.
Every face in the room turned to look at her. There was silence for a few seconds and then laughter.
Enkeli pointed at her desk and her classmates followed her line of vision seeing nothing but her notes of algebra. The laughter intensified.
"I get that algebra is terrifying, but to this extent?" Lev, who was sitting beside her, commented. Lev , Kira and Enkeli have been friends since elementary school.
"Miss. Rubin what's the matter? If you're simply going to disturb the class, I suggest you leave"
"No ma'am it's nothing. I just thought I saw a spider on my desk" She spoke through gritted teeth, pursing her lips.
This elicited a few chuckles from the class and Shedim himself. What Enkeli wanted more than anything was to get up from the chair and smack the shit out of Shedim. Howev
“What’s with you today? It’s unlike you to be so distracted.” Lev squints his eyes at her, as if hoping to extract some type of difference. The class had just ended and the three of them were planning on walking home together. It just so happened to be that all three of their houses were in the same direction, though Kira’s came first, then Lev and finally Enkeli.“hahah I was just feeling a little tired today.” She scratched the back of her head in a coy manner.“On the contrary, you seem more energetic.” Kira noticed.‘Damnit Kira, why do you have to be so goddamn observant all the time.’ Seeing how Enkeli didn’t reply to her, Kira wondered if she had picked on something she shouldn’t have.“There’s a new marvel movie
She buried her face in her hands.“Oh no no no. This cannot be happening.” She whispers, trying to push away the thoughts that kept recurring in her head. It wasn’t her who ran away. It was him!Enkeli wondered what was wrong with her but more importantly, what was wrong with him. He was the one who had started kissing her neck and then slipped his hands under her shirt to caress her back. As expected it had turned her on and she had really gotten into it. Then instead of just kissing, he was sucking her neck like his life depended on it.She walked to her dressing mirror and pulled her shirt aside to get a good look at her neck.“It’s definitely bruised. He is a demon, not a vampire, right?” She muttered to herself as she pressed on the bruise. The exhaustion spoke for itself, clearly he had sucked
The next morning , Enkeli woke up unusually on time. Unless she had something to do, like the summoning ritual from yesterday, she often woke up late and reached class just in the nick of time. The school was quite strict concerning punctuality, if the students were late even by a few minutes, then they would have to wait to attend the next class. She went to the bathroom and stripped down to take a shower.No new bruises. She smiled. The continuous exhaustion had also started to fade and she felt more energetic than she normally would. The leeches were taking a huge toll on her, far more than she would have liked to admit. Her finger tapped on the only new bruise at her neck and she saw her skin flush red. "Is this what he sees when I blush" She closed her eyes with a groan and walked into the running shower. She took her time, rubbing on some shower gel after soap and then washing her hair thoroughly. She wanted to enjoy this peace.Normally, she would take quick showers and that t
“Sure, I don’t mind. It’s a public place, after all.”“Great.” She muttered and then breathed out with relief and sat down on the bench next to his. “So, I haven’t seen you around before, what year are you?”He turned his body so he was facing her. “I’m a senior.”She widened her eyes. “Oh are you a new student?”“Yes I just joined today.” He stared into her eyes and then his looks lingered around her face. Enkeli gulped and tried to look anywhere else, she couldn’t handle the way he was looking at her. What was with him? Why was he staring at her like that. It made her uncomfortable but not in an unsafe way, more like, she could feel his intensity. She could tell that this was no ordinary man. It was a feeling that she couldn’t explain well but her gut has rarely ever been wrong.“Is that so? Welcome to the school! Which class are you in? I can show you where it is if you’re having some trouble.”“It’s class 1A. I went there but the teacher showed me out.”“Hey! That’s the same class
“The nurse isn’t here.” Kira had jogged ahead of them to the infirmary to check for the nurse. Since they didn’t have any other option, they decided to take care of the wound themselves.“I’ll just clean it with a disinfectant and then put on this wrap.” Lev tells her, holding her arm up gently. “How did you fall?”“Yeah, I want to say it was funny but I didn’t even see it. What happened?” Kira asked.“Uhh I just suddenly felt a bit dizzy and then before I knew it, I was on the ground.”“I don’t think it’s normal to feel dizzy for no reason. Do you have anemia? Or maybe you didn’t eat breakfast this morning?” It was Lev who questioned her.“That must be right! Yes, I must have forgotten to eat breakfast.” She laughed, shaking her head at her stupidity. It was all an act of course. She couldn’t tell them what she saw. It never ended well for her. The only time she had told someone about what she could see was when she was young and she pointed out monsters to her parents. At first they
That night Enkeli slept on the couch in the living room. Though she had spent many nights in her room with those monsters, it was the first time she had seen so many at the same time. Usually, some of them would go and a few new ones would appear but never once did so many gather in her room as if it was a supernatural party! "Can't they find another room to hole up in" She grumbles as she pulls the covers over her on the couch. It was far from comfortable but she had to admit, if she were to choose between sleeping with monsters or sleeping on the couch for the rest of her life, she would choose the couch. 'Where's the bodyguard when you need him, huh?' She had tried summoning him by pleading in her head, however, it did not seem to work. She also tried opening her book of spells and muttering the few phrases again and nothing happened. It made her realise that she never asked him how she was supposed to call on him for help. Then again, she did not expect that after cleaning her
Despite having slept on the couch, some of the leeches had gotten to her during her sleep resulting in various bruises all over her body. She decided to get ready in the guest bathroom and observed the bruises on her arm and chest. Seeing how she could not wear a half sleeved shirt, she settled for a long one even though it was quite warm outside. She put on some jeans and sneakers and made her way down the stairs. After eating some cereal and toast, she headed to school. She managed to reach on time and took her seat beside her friends. Bringing her attention to the class, she yawned. Her eyes were on the black board but from the periphery she could feel a stare on her. She looked to her right, Lev shifted his eyes to the board, knowing he had been caught staring at her. He told himself he was just worried and that was the reason. After all, she had fainted the previous day with that terrified look on her face. If anyone had saw her expression as clearly as he did, they would be w
The sunlight gleamed brightly upon the stone walkaway that led to the gate. Enkeli watched the bushes of flowers on the sides of the path while she waited for Lev to return. She decided that it was the best if she didn’t intervene. She had only known Agares for half a day and he had abruptly left without showing up until the next day, she had no idea what kind of opinion to form from him. As for Shedim.. well now that she thought about it, she didn’t know what exactly he was capable of. He was a charming flirt and loved to tease her but that’s about all she knew. As for where his morality lies and if he was the type of demon who could kill humans for fun, she had no idea. Suddenly, she started wondering if it was a mistake to summon him in the first place, did she unintentionally put all of her friends at risk? At that point, she was so fed up with her life that she had decided she would do anything to improve it’s quality. She hadn’t thought about how it would affect the people arou
