School For Magical Creatures

Alex:

I sghed. "I know Robyn. I truly do. But...all of this was her choice...she chose to love him, she chose to help him, she chose to help us, and now she's choosing to love him. I feel bad for her, yes." I sighed. "You still owe me a date." I teased.

[Sir Rous]

For a brief second I stopped and looked back at them, not in guilt, but disgust. "There's a girl lying in the grass crying her eyes out and all you two cats can do is flirt with each other?" my teeth gritted together knowing full well that they could've asked why I didn't do anything to help either.

So, before they had a chance, I swiveled back around and quickened my pace. I wanted to get out of this place and find a knife to cut the tension that gripped the air around me. My feet made soft little thuds across the ground in a strange rythem to my heart beat that sort of seemed to help.

As I turned the corner of the building, Aurora's loud sobbing started getting softer and softer and softer... until I couldn't even hear it. Then I stopped, again, and sunk down beside the wall and pulled my knees up, pinching the bridge of my nose. Desperately trying to clear my head of anything and everything. Anger. I hated feelings... especially bad ones like this... Stupid teenage hormones!

My teeth gritted together again as I heard someone call my name, "Rous?"

Aurora:

I sniffed and sat down beside Rous. "I'm...I'm sorry sir. I...I just..." I didn't know what else to say. "I just wanted to apologize." I rubbed my eyes. Then, ever so gently I leaned over to him and pressed my lips to his, kissing him softly. Then I got up. "I love you Rous. I always will...but...If you don't want me...then...I'll...Izll leave you alone. Sorry to bother you Rous..."

I got up and started to walk away.

[Sir Rous]

I started laughing hysterically as I got up, "Sorry for bothering me? That's all you can say?" I changed my voice so it was as high as her's, "I love you Rous. I always will... but... If you don't want me... then... I'll... Izll leave you alone. Sorry to bother you Rous..." My voice was practically dripping with hatred and disgust.

"You seriously believe that you just bothered me? That is the lowest understatement of what you did! You didn't just hit the wrong nerve, you yanked it out and stomped on it! As unbelieveable as it sounds, I've never gotten mad like this before! NEVER!" I bared my teeth and growled menacingly. "You have no idea who I am, do you? You know absolutely nothing about me." If it wasn't for the fact that I was desperately trying to stay calm I would've punched the wall behind me until my hand broke just to hit something.

Kaia-

I was shaking uncontrollably. What is this feeling? I felt the tattoo on my cheek burning up. Anger? I transformed from the puddle I’d made myself into and ran to Rous. Before I let myself think sensibly I drew my hand back and brought it across his face.

He was stunned into silence and I heard Aurora gasp behind me.

“She loves you and you throw it back in her face! She was apologizing for something no one should apologize for! Ever!” Despite the fact that I was ready to collapse, I continued, “I may not know you, and I barely know these people but know one should be laughed at for loving someone!”

Rous clenched his teeth and for the first time in the past few seconds, I felt fear. Raw fear.

Aurora:

I lookd sadly at Rous. "You know...you're right. I've never seen this sde of you. Because..." I shook my head. It was no use. He was mad. I had messed up. "I just wanted to appologize." Tears spilled from my eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry..." My body ached. My heart felt like it had been ripped out of me. "I'll transfer classes. I'll stay away so you donzt ever have to see me again. Will that make you happy?! Because I'm tired of trying to figure out what will!" I was yelling now. I never yelled. why was I yelling?!

Robyn

I saw Alex's ears flatten against his head, kind of like a cat.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm so sick of this hearing."

"You and me both, c'mon lets go see what they drew up now." I said as we both started running towards them. I bolted very fast as he began to slow down. I started to slow down for him, when we stopped I smiled at him.

"you alright?" I asked.

"N-no." He collapsed. "Not now!!!" He ssaid through clenched teeth.

"Oh God the-" I started shakking my head.

"Infection." He clutched his side.

[Sir Rous]

My face felt hot, stinging sensation and it slowly engulfed my entire body. This couldn't be coming from that slap... The feeling that had settled in the pit of my stomach seemed to be crawling out. I fell to my knees and held my head in my hands. My breathing was became shallow and uneven--until, I coughed...

The yellow piece of candy that I had swallowed a few minutes ago now sat in front of me, covered in a sickly red color. Blood? Then, it started to wriggle and squirm around until three little legs on each side sprouted out. It stood up and shook itself, then began to scuttle away. Most all of the anger faded away quickly, like it was that thing that had been creating it.

I coughed again, and again, more blood came out. My hand grasped desperately at my shirt, pulling it, trying to stop the searing pain that seemed to be coming from my chest. It was a lightning bug you idiot! a voice inside my head shouted out, NOT a piece of candy!

My hands fell to my side and my body dropped to the ground. My heart beat became even more uneven as my eyes slowly closed. "This wasn't my fault..." I choked out in a desperate whisper.

Alex:

I groaned. What was happening to me?! I was very glad now that she could read minds because I didn't think I could talk. My whole body ached. I felt like I was burning up but this time I could feel it, scorching my skin. I gasped. What was happening?! I love you! I shouted in my head to Robyn even as I was exeriencing the worst pain of my entire existence.

Robyn

I Love you!!! He screamed and that was it, I'd had it with this damn curse!!! I knew one way and one way only to save him, but I might and the chances were good that I would die from it. No woman has been infected and LIVED to tell it. I looked at him. He read my mind

"Robyn! Don't do it!" He yelled through my mind.

I shook my head my black curls bouncing "I have to." I said crying.

"No!" He shouted into my head.

I opened his mouth with mine and kissed him, our tongues touched creating fire, that hurt like hell. I sucked in the poison. And then I fell by his side gasping, and shaking violently.

Alex:

I felt better immediately. But I couldnzt let this happen. "Robyn!" I growled.

I pulled her close to me, holding her tightly. "You stuborn little girl!" I kissed her, this time sucking the poison back. Ugh! The fire was back, ragging in my body. I groaned. It hurt but wasn't as bad as before.

I wasn't going to die. I was just going to stand it. It wasn't too bad, and I just wasn't going to let her take my pain.

Robyn

We both took a little bit of the poison. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he had my head pushed into his chest. I inhaled, I smelled his scent, he's human scent and his were-cat scent. It felt like a fever channeling thoguh your body and it hurt.

"I-I Love you... and and I'm sor sorr sorry." I said shaking, I felt like i had been shot.

"N-n-not....your f-fault." He burried his face in my hair.

"It's freezing." I said.

"I know." He choked. "Pain... unbearable."

I nodded, still clinging to him.

Alex:

I groaned. "I'm so sorry love." I hated she was in pain. "Why did you do that?! After we're done with this, I'm going to kick your butt." I teased.

She glared, the groaned.

"Just trying to..." I gaspedand winced slightly. "Help." I replied.

Robyn

I layed against his chest, I felt like I was losing, I just didn't want to lose him. I felt like my windpipe had been squeezed I couldn't breathe. This is how I get to die? Or suffocation? I felt my body start thrashing. I felt Alex's hands move my head so he could see my face...

Alex:

I could feel her pain. Her thoughts. Suffication. "Robyn! Don't leave me! If you die, I'll kill myself! I canzt live without you! Please!" I whimpered. I kissed her, the pain going away with the desire to keep Robyn alive. I was starting to ache less. I felt a litte better. My main goal was keeping Robyn alive.
