The Demon's Soul

"I feel like eating skittles. Do you think they have it here?" I asked Dave once I reached where Gordon and he was.

Gordon and Dave were both staring at the direction where Travis had disappeared. A second later Dave looked at me to reply,

"I don’t know what it is but Gordon will go get you one of that while we head towards the cafeteria, Ms. Lillian," he said and I saw Gordon give a curt nod before leaving us.

"Alright," I replied.

Once Dave and I were seated at the corner table of the cafeteria, I took a bite from my plate, eating with silence while most of the people in the room where talking and laughing. My life must suck, I thought.

"It isn’t that bad," I heard Dave say and bit my tongue. I must have said it out loud.

"He could at least send a female guard if that is. You guys don’t talk or let me talk to anyone," I said in a low voice busy looking at my tray.

"People are not to be trusted here Ms. Lillian, they are manipulative and cunning. We are here to keep you away from any harm that may come on you. And the issue of you having a female guard it’s not possible as master Luke has only male guards and for some odd reason, he doesn’t like female vampire guards. I don’t know about Gordon but I’ll try to be interactive with you from now," he answered me seriously and I gave him a weak smile.

"You have to smile and say it. Feels like someone is pointing a gun and making you say it," I mumbled and took a sip from my cold drink.

"I’m sorry," he said now smiling and I smiled back at him. Well at least he was trying but his smile fell down when he continued to speak, "I would ask you to refrain from talking to any boys. If Luke heard about it he wouldn’t be happy about it and you don’t know what he’s capable of," Dave warned me.

"So are you going to tell Luke about it?" I asked him raising my eyebrows in question and saw him shake his head.

"Not now but if it happens in the future, I will," he said and by then Gordon had come with a bunch of skittles in his hand.

"Thank you," I said looking at him to which he nodded and sat next to Dave.

I was in the ground with the rest of my class after lunch as we had P.E. During the game with the girls, I finally made two friends whose names were Mia and Katie. Mia was shorter than me and had brown hair until her shoulders while Katie was of my height with blonde hair. Both of them seemed nice. I was glad that the boys and girls had separate games to play. I knew Dave had told me not to trust anyone but I needed a girl to talk to in this college. If Gwen was here it would have been much easier, I thought.

When I had turned to see my bodyguards, I caught Gordon looking at me intently as Dave said something to him. Gordon said something to which Dave shook his head. I wonder what they were talking about.

When the class was over everyone began heading back but a girl tripped on the ground while walking. Unfortunately, there was a sharp wooden tree that was cut short on which she fell due to which blood trickled down from her leg.

"Are you alright, cupcake?" I heard a guys voice beside me and my head snapped at the person and felt myself exhale. It was one of the guys from my class, he bent down towards the injured girl to pick her up.

"Hey, are you alright?" Mia asked tilting her head, "I guess you don’t like the sight of blood. Come on, let’s go change."

"Yeah," I said giving one last look before turning towards the changing room. I changed into my skinny jeans and a loose top, stuffing my P.E. clothes in my locker.

"How do you find the college so far?" Katie asked me as she brushed her hair.

"It’s okay I guess," I replied.

"Are you rich or is your family powerful, Lilly? I mean you have two men guarding you all the time," Mia blurted out.

"Mia, that’s rude," Katie scolded her lightly and then said to me, "You don’t need to answer it if you don’t want to, Lilly."

"No, that’s okay," I said smiling, "I’m neither rich nor powerful, just a few circumstances due to which they are tagging along," I explained a little.

"Oh," Mia responded thoughtfully, "You know some of them were talking about a new girl having two bodyguards following her all the time and it made me wonder if you were rich then why to attend a local college."

I felt a little conscious after knowing that people were talking about me, of course, anyone would.

"You have a fiance," Katie deadpanned and my head snapped at her direction. How did she know?

"You do?" Mia asked, her bright blue eyes looking at me excited.

"Ah...yeah," I said a little cautious now.

"Damn, sometimes I wished I were you, Katie," Mia said to which I scrunched my eyebrows together not understanding what she meant, "Katie is A class witch, Lilly just like purebloods in a vampire."

"That must be nice," I said. The good part was none of them pestered about I having a fiance and had passed on to talk about the next class.
