031 – CONFUSED VAMPIRE.

🦋 CORVIN 🦋I really, really hate to have to do this, stick my nose in something that’s not my business.I have just returned from dumping Nevan's body in the trash, where he belongs, and my meal is still in the bathtub, fast asleep.She shouldn’t be sleeping comfortably with me here, not when I barely stopped myself from snapping her neck just a few minutes ago.I walk towards the bathroom, gawking at the petite figure that seems to be floating on water, when I finally force my gaze away, I’m unable to figure out just how long I have been staring.Suddenly, something catches my attention, and I walk towards it. A hidden camera, right in the middle of the bathroom, attached to the light bulb. I turn back around towards the direction of the bedroom, and just like I thought, there is also another one in her bedroom, tucked into the corner of her bookshelf, hidden perfectly.Great angle.Gawking at the camera, I fly out of the window, and I’m upstairs, in the room of someone she calls

032 – STILL A MEAL.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋I wake up with a gasp, swinging my head in both directions of the bathroom. A sigh of relief leaves my lips as I look down at myself.I am still in my underwear, soaked in water, and I seem to have been there for a while now.I still feel lightheaded, but at least the drug is out of my system.That’s right, Corvin and Nevan.Just as I wonder if Corvin is still in his dangerous mode and if Nevan’s corpse is still in my room, a voice echoes from the sitting room.“Lock the door and window, and do not let anyone in, that was a simple command. Would have saved you the hassle of getting drugged by a… human.”Yeah, and traumatized by a… vampire.“Corvin?” I call like I still can’t come to terms with the fact that a dangerous creature is sitting in my chair.Suddenly, he’s in front of me, and although I don’t think I’ll ever get used to his speed, or strength… I’m not exactly surprised anymore when he does his thing. It’s now a normal bad day in my life.I look up at him to be

033 – STILL A MEAL II.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋I shove a spoon down my throat, and at this point, the taste doesn’t matter; I’m already perishing. A second ago, I thought I would die from hunger.“I want you to stay clear of Magnus,” Corvin declares, and I shove down another spoon.“You won’t tell me what to do,” I choke, barely able to swallow the amount of rice stuck in my mouth.I mean, who is he to do that?“You still don’t get it, do you?” Corvin asks, suddenly dragging my chair closer to himself, that I would have fallen off if his strong hands weren’t stopping me from falling. “I own your life; you are at my mercy. You will do absolutely what I ask you to do.”“Or what?” I ask, sarcasm dripping like honey, as I balance myself on the chair just in time to shove down another spoon of rice. “You’ll go out of character and make me macaroni and cheese next time? Now, that’s terrifying.”Corvin gawks at me, resting his head on his elbow, which was resting on the table, and I swear he’s smiling; I just can’t prove i

034 – BACK TO THE HELL OF AN ACADEMY.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋I still don’t understand what Corvin’s last sentence before he vanished meant.“Unless our roles are now reversed, making you the predator and me, the prey.”What does that mean? How can I be the predator and himself, a vampire… the prey. Never heard such unsolvable nonsense before in my life.Although I want to sit tight and solve the equation as to why I suddenly became a predator to a vampire, I have something bigger to solve right now.When I was with Corvin, I had no worries in the world. Thanks to him making me rice, I totally forgot that the next day was a school day, and I didn’t have the luxury to be worry-free. And Corvin of all people? He himself is a problem. I still remember those eyes filled with darkness and those threatening steps he took while he contemplated whether he should snap my neck or not. I barely survived, so since it has gotten to this, imma focus on my survival.I walk into the academy, going from one dark corner to the other. I feel like a

035 – PLAN C: ROOK THE BULLY

🦋 CATALINA 🦋I can’t avoid Professor Matteo for a long time, not while I have to be in this academy. That’s at least one thing I’m very sure of: sooner or later, we’d have to see eye to eye, and then all hell would break loose.“Are you still doing it?” Yumeko blurts out the first thing she has said since I walked into the cafeteria.“What?” I retort, taking out the cucumbers from my grilled chicken salad. I’ve hated cucumbers since I was very little; I’ve hated both the taste and the smell. Unfortunately, it’s always in every veggie meal, so I have to take them out myself, which is infuriating to the core.“Making Professor Matteo hate you,” she says. “Are you giving up on being expelled?”“All two plans failed,” I growl, rolling my eyes. "What else is there to do?"“But you can never tell if it’s the third one that’d be effective. Using Rook to make him hate you, I heard that one worked before.”“Hm,” Nabi says, forcing a massive swallow. She takes a quick gasp of air, pointing he

036 – MAKING PROFESSOR MATTEO HATE ME USING ROOK.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋I’m in a staring contest, one I’m determined not to lose. Unlike the staring contest I lost to a goat when I was little, my life depends on this one, so there’s no way in the world I’ll let myself loose.Rook is standing in front of me, his arms pressed against our table as he stares directly at me, fuming, and I was returning the energy just fine until I catch a glimpse of Professor Matteo walking into the Cafeteria, his gaze dancing around in search of something or someone.Why does he always pick the wrong time to show up?My life keeps going forward; it would be really great if there weren’t a pit filled with poisonous snakes in that front, but there are. vampires, werewolves and... fucking humans."CATALINA, I SAID, SEE ME IN MY...”I gasp in fear and shock at the same time. I don’t even get to think of my next action as I yank Rook by his collar. His hands which are supporting him slips from the table, and he hits his chest on the edge, falling just perfectly to b

037 – UNPLANNED FANBOY.

🦋 CORVIN 🦋“I’m too old for this,” I say to myself. Yet, somehow, I find myself coerced, unable to stop doing it. Hundreds of years have got nothing on the effects this mere pictures and video clips have on me.Everything I get from the so-called Nevan’s house, I secured. Pictures of Catalina are now everywhere in my space, slowly turning me into a fanboy, as I find myself staring at it every second since I got it into my space.Although it doesn’t make sense, I’m determined to see this through to the end.Now, I’m watching a recorded clip of her watching a movie in her bed, dressed as usual, in an oversized hoodie with pants big enough for both of us. She’s always never putting efforts in her looks, yet very attractive; she makes me imagine how she'd look if she actually puts effort.It’s an one hour, ten-minute clip, containing her reaction from the beginning to the end of the movie, and I’ve played it eleven times in total, watching it again, again, and again as soon as it ends,

038 – I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, I JUST CAN’T PROVE IT.

🦋 CORVIN 🦋Being unable to stop myself is inevitable. A vampire acting on impulse doesn’t seem believable, yet here I am, the Corvin of Lucifer heirs, lurking around a lady’s bedroom window.I’ve been watching her sleep from the screen, but the more you have access to watch her, the more you crave to do more than watch her from the screen. That must have been the case with that stupid neighbor; he got desperate, wanted more, and wanted to get it by force, that idiot.Guess who is in his shoes now… Me.I'm the new idiot.Before you could say Jack Robinson, I am in her bedroom, gawking at the petite figure wrapped in a blanket. She’s the type who will never turn off the AC, no matter how cold it gets.Before I can even ponder the danger of taking my mask off and she having to see my face, my mask is already off, and I’m already walking towards the side of the bed she is, doing exactly what I know is very not recommended.The mask on my face has become a part of my flesh. As the most w

039 – I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, I JUST CAN’T PROVE IT II.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋There’s a huge difference between a pillow and something of a human figure. For example, pillows don’t have necks. But this particular pillow has it, and nothing in this world can be more horrifying than to be wrapped around something so cold yet feels human when you remember sleeping being cuddled to a pillow.“Nevan’s ghost?”Even after death, he still wants to get under my skirt, rest in pieces, you foul spirit.I swallow hard, too scared to open my eyes as a chill replaces the blood flowing in my veins.Something tells me to open my eyes, telling me that it’s either just a pillow or an illusion. Gathering my courage, I threw my eyes open.My eyes are drawn to the button of a black shirt, and I slowly follow the line of his throat up to his face.Thunder sounded in my stomach as our eyes locked, “Corvin?”Something is not… his face.It’s a rare, disarming moment when the world suddenly loses its noise and narrows down to a single focal point. I'm not just looking at

040 – I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, I JUST CAN’T PROVE IT III.

🦋 CATALINA 🦋When I woke up, it was like I had a really long night. I woke up pretty late, unlike every other time, and I find it odd. My immune system adapted to my sleeping schedule, and I don’t even need alarms to wake me most of the time, but today, even the alarm wasn’t enough to get me up.When I finally got up, my window was open, which is very close to impossible. Yesterday was a bad day. I got back from school drained, and I walked straight into the shower, then straight to bed. I didn’t have the time and strength to take off my dress, and I downright showered with it, not to talk about walking towards the window to open it, I’m certain I didn’t. Something is definitely not right. I’m suspecting everything around me, but I just can’t prove it.And then this weird memory appears from nowhere, so weird, uncomfortable, and really naughty. I see myself kissing someone, I was so into it, and there was so much tension I can feel it in my memory… but that’s where it all ends, me k
