บททั้งหมดของ Iris at the vampire academy: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

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 Thirteen:Kevin laughed out loud, a light laugh at first, but it quickly turned into clear mockery.And he said while looking at the lamp that I was holding up with my trembling hand:"Do you think something like this would hurt me? How ridiculous you are."I felt the insult slowly creeping into my chest, but I didn’t lower the lamp. Deep inside, I knew that his words were true, and that this small thing I was holding onto wouldn’t stop him if he wanted to hurt me. Yet I held onto it as if it were the last thing left of my strength or courage.But Kevin didn’t show any further interest. He simply turned toward the door as if my entire presence no longer mattered, and said in a completely normal tone:"It’s good that you’re okay."I paused for a moment. His words were unexpected; they confused me more than they reassured me. So I lowered the lamp slightly and said:"What about the door that you broke?"He looked at the door, then glanced back at me briefly as if he remembered s

Chapter Fifteen:After that I left the place immediately, without saying a single word, lost in my thoughts, not knowing what to do or where to go. I felt as if the ground was no longer stable beneath my feet, as if everything around me had started to collapse slowly.I found nothing in front of me except to run… to run without a clear goal, only escaping that feeling pressing on my chest like an iron fist.I headed toward the bathrooms, the only place that seemed to me at that moment like a temporary refuge. I entered quickly and locked myself in one of the stalls, then sat on the toilet seat without awareness, as if my legs could no longer carry me. I could not hold myself any longer, so I started crying intensely, a cry I could not suppress, as if all the fear, anxiety, and brokenness I carried inside me had exploded at once."I don’t know how I will get out now…"I muttered in a broken voice, trying to catch my breath."Maybe everyone already knows… will they kill me? And even if

“When I heard Jasmine speaking to you in the evening, I felt something strange, as if she was trying to lure you into a trap. And I knew you were stupid or rather, a mindless human so I followed you after the academy to stop you and warn you. But the guard tried to prevent me from entering, because I am a demon, and this is the residence of vampires… so I distracted him and entered secretly.”She paused for a moment, then continued:“I didn’t know your room, and I was about to go back… but I saw you leaving your floor and heading to another floor. Something wasn’t normal, so I followed you.”“And when I saw you enter Jasmine’s room, I stayed watching you until you went inside. I stood at the door trying to listen, but there was a barrier blocking sound. Then… I understood.”She tightened her fist slightly: “I couldn’t enter, and I didn’t try because there were too many of them and I’m too weak to face them all. But I waited at the window… and I connected to your mind to make you move

Chapter nineteenth : The weekend ended the way short dreams do too quickly. The campus came back to life again: voices, footsteps, laughter, and bags dragging across the ground as if announcing everyone’s return to reality.As for me… I was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV screen without actually seeing anything. Boredom was slowly creeping in when suddenly, the sound of the door echoed.The door opened, and Kevin walked in.The moment he saw me, he smiled that confident smile that never leaves him.“So… there you are. You really didn’t go home?”I shrugged indifferently: “No.”He stepped closer and said lightly: “How did you manage to stay here? Didn’t you feel lonely?”I looked at him, then let out a long sigh: “Honestly? It was the worst decision I made.”He laughed, as if my answer was expected.“And yet… you look much better than the day I left you.”I stood up, clenching my fist slightly: “I recovered… and I trained too.”I stepped closer and looked at him seriously: “An
