Chapter 18. A Friend’s Warning

SKYLA.

The following day dawned grey and gloomy, but I felt better. Well, at least the place

wasn’t wrecked, no one was dead and I can

try to put the night behind me… but can I do that when I’ll be seeing him at school?

Do I have any science lessons today? I mean,

we just had a physical science lesson last night. Maybe I can bail…

I sigh as I slip on my black lace cropped

corset, followed by fishnet tights and torn

denim pants on top that showed off my

tights through the ripped patches. I grab a leather jacket and some heeled boots before

putting them on.

“Want to go with me, Malevolent?” I ask lifting her up.

“Meow.” She rubs against my chest, and I

smile.

“Let’s get going then, just make sure no one spots you on academy grounds.” I smirk as I pop her into the passenger seat as I get in and drive out. It takes a while to get to school, and with the heavy fog and the icy paths I drive much slower. Better to be safe than sorry, especially that Malevolent is with me. Her life is far more fragile than

mine. 3

“Well, my little subordinate let’s go face the spawns of all things gross.” I round the corner, the gates of the school looming before me and they swing open as I approach.

I drive through feeling the magic on the

entrance

Another day… let’s just make it to the end of the day.

The first lesson passed by, and I didn’t mind

it as much as Kataleya and I are in the same class and sitting next to her whilst mind linking her and trying to distract her is

pretty fun. Plus, I can ward off the perves gawking at her breasts.

I hate school.

“I’ll catch you later?” Kataleya says as she bundles up her books once the bell rings.

“You are such a geek.” I say smirking. I remember her forcing Azura and me to do our homework, and although I would do mine and get it over with Azura was the one who’d cause shit and not bother with her

homework. Ah, I miss the Westwood Devil…

Speaking of devils, aren’t those Westwood spawns around? Maybe I’ll go find one of them to annoy, preferably Theo or Jayce.

“Where are you going?” Kataleya asks suspiciously.

“Why?” I ask, pouting as I grab my books.

“That smile.” She watches me observantly.

“I’m going to go find my beautiful

overgrown troll-like cousins.” I say.

“The quints? Tell them hi.” She smiles and I smirk, see? Even she knows who I am talking about.

“I’ll tell them.” I say. We part ways and I trudge to the younger grades. The school

ranges from 12 to 19-year-olds and due to

the vast size, you won’t often run into those

who are far younger. Well, it doesn’t mean we can’t go find the little poisonous

Westwood weeds.

I’m halfway down the hall, deciding if I should get some itchy herbs or something to douse the cockroaches in when someone

steps in front of me. My breath catches in

my throat as I’m hit with that delicious scent of winter and spice…
