Chapter 9: Seraphina's Mission

Seraphina's POV

My body's pain was the one who woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a bright light.

'Is this what they called after life?'

The light were white and all I heard was the sound of silence. I can't think but the thought of I'm in heaven and I'm already dead. All I was remember was some students beat me to death but someone stopped them.

'Wait... Yes, someone helped me!'

I moved my head side to side and seems like I'm in an infirmary.

'Sigh, I thought I died. If I died then how can I have the forgiveness of everyone?'

Suddenly, I heard voices talking outside the curtain who was covering my bed.

"Is she okay?" a voice of a man who was similar to the voice of the man who saves me

'I think I should thank him'

"Yes, her recovery was faster than we thought. Her wounds were all healed and she's probably awake as of now" an old voice said, probably the school nurse

Someone moved the curtain aside and I was shocked when Dex was in my front, staring at me.

'I-Impossible!'

He walked closer into my bed and sit on a chair beside my bed.

"Are you okay now?" he asked

Even though he's pertaining to me, he didn't buy himself to look at me while talking.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me Dex---I mean Devious, hehe~" I said

'Argh, man! I screwed up again. How can I earn friends by this? I hate you self'

"You seemed to forget everything till yesterday. What happened to you? Were you punished by a wizard or something?" he asked but this time, he's looking into my eyes

"What wizard?" I asked

He just face palmed and Sigh.

'Man, I really don't know what you're talking about'

"Forget it, how will you faced me if you're in a middle of confusion?" he said

"Can you tell me, what kind of person am I?" I asked

He looked straight to me and gave me a grin.

"You're a girl who always caught in a fight. The terrorist, they may say. You often get fight in my group and I'm your target. We always get into fight almost everyday and you're the baddass girl I've ever met in my life. No one dares to have a guts to fight me but you came and I actually almost lose to you. And there's this time, you forgot everything and easily get bullied by anyone" he stated

'I-It's harsh! I'm definitely not like that. Is that really me?'

"Uhmm..."

"Hmmm?" he responses

I clenched the blanket that covers me and breath deeply

"I want to change.." I said

"W-W-What?" he said in shock

I sat down in the bed and look at him.

"I swear, I'll make things right."

He just laugh at me and moved closer to me.

"You know, if I were you I will not make myself belittled by some low class vampires--"

"Vampires?"

"Yes, vampires. We're vampires, did you also forgot? This world is chaos so if you lose to it then your life will forever in vain, understand?" he said.

He stood up and turned his back to me.

"You must fight back in order to survive. Mercy here is just a cliche" he said

"Wait!" I yelled and quickly get out of the bad. I quickly arrange the bed and ran outside the infirmary.

Devious seemed to wait for me outside and I smiled to him. He just shook his head and silently began to walk.

Not long ago, two people approach me and hold my hands.

"Hey, Selina. Why don't you come home yesterday?" said the girl with a pink hair in a pigtail hairstyle

"Yeah, we're so worried about you even though you always snob us. We thought you're in some dangerous gig again" cried the blonde girl with a ponytail hairstyle

But Devious grab my waist and pull me closer to him; separating me from the two girls.

"Wendy and Cindy, please let her be for a moment and just talk after the class if off, okay? She's still recovering from her injuries" Devious said

"Injuries?" said the pink haired

"What did you do, Devious!" stated the blonde girl and smacked Devious' shoulder

"Ouch! I do nothing!" he insisted

"Just be sure, huh"

"Selina, find us in the school's garden after class and lets walk together"

"Okay" I said and smiled

"She smiled to me!"

"No, it's me!"

I saw Devious' irritated face and seems to be a volcano is about to errupt.

"Out of my sight, now!" he yelled

The two silently walked through and never make noise again.

'He's cool!'

"Sigh, they're really a pain in the as*" he said

We continue to walked while the other students were confused why we are together.

"Who are they?" I asked

"Your stepsisters. You always make fun of them and threw them out" he said

'Oh I feel bad..'

"We're here. After entering this room, please forget that I saved you and don't talk to me anymore. Treat me like you would to strangers, understand?" he said

I keep silent and never mind his condition. He opens the door and enter the room. I follow him and sat down on my seat. They're eyes were like a predators who saw their prey.

'Sigh, it is so hard for me to caught their trust again. Maybe it's my new mission now.'
