CHAPTER 8

RAVEN'S POV

 I was about to go to my dorm when I felt someone following me. I have been feeling them since I was just going to the library. That's why I disguised myself to avoid trouble temporarily but it looks like trouble is my twin. I immediately went to my dorm. I simply peeked out of the window. Many of them seem to make me fight. I removed my contact lens and my fake skin. I breathed a sigh of relief as I removed my disguise. I feel relieved to get rid of all the disguise I put on my body. I immediately opened my drawer and pulled out the secret compartment.

When I saw what was inside my blood suddenly came to life. It's been a long time since I have ever used it. Well, it's a dark red cloak that has a design of a black raven on the back of it. I quickly put it on and took my mask well it's a gold mask that has a touch of silver on the edge. I quickly pressed my orvix and thought of the thing I wanted to get and in a flash, the thing that I needed was already in my hands.

Reaper. I smiled. I quickly grabbed my reaper. Reaper is the name of my katana. I'm so excited to see blood. I quickly passed by a place where they would not notice me. I quickly stood behind them. Of course, they will not notice me. I am an expert in hiding my presence. I approached a man just near where I was hiding. I quickly approached him and went behind him and quickly twisted his head. When he fell, his colleagues quickly looked at me. They looked down on me and quickly transformed from being a person to werewolves. The others remained in their human form. They growled at me.

 Dark werewolves...

What is my fault that dark werewolves are following me? As far as I know, I have only been here a few days and I have not fought other people than that arrogant Prince Ash.

The grass around me started to wither and turned into ashes as soon as I revealed my presence and took a step towards them. The other living creatures around here started to run away and hide. I saw the transformed werewolves retreat in fear. I smiled. They can feel my presence. Werewolves' senses are sharper than humans.

 "It's too late to regret everything. Who are you? Why are you following that girl?" I asked

 "Why do you even care? Who are you?" one of the werewolves in human form asked

They can't feel my presence because he's still in his human form but once he transformed into his werewolf form then he will feel the presence that I'm hiding.

 "Well its also none of your business," I said

 Of course, it is business because it's my own life we're talking about! Dufus.

 "Huh?! You're too nosy! You're going to die now you bitch!"

 He rushed at me but I quickly dodged and went behind him and twisted his neck. As much as possible I do not want to use my reaper. I will play with them first for a moment.

 They give me death glares. As if they can kill me if they glared at me.

 They always start but I always avoid them without difficulty. Tsk. Weaklings. It looks like I won't enjoy playing with them so I'd better finish this. I'm getting bored. They are no fun. They have no thrill playmates. I thought I could fight but I was wrong they're just low lifeless creatures. Insects and weaklings like them were not worth living.

 I quickly grabbed my katana from its pouch behind me. They rushed at me at the same time but I quickly jumped to the back and cut them in two at once. They turned to ashes as soon as they fell.

 I looked at another remnant who looked like his tail had split. He suddenly sat down because he saw what I did to his colleagues. He suddenly backed away while sitting.

 I smiled because I could clearly see the fear in his eyes. That's how scared you are eh? My body feels joy and excitement every time I see fears in the faces of my prey before I totally end their useless lives. That only added to my desire to end their lives.

 "Y-you! Y-you're a demon!" he said stuttering

 I laughed because of what he had said. I am tired of such lines every time someone sees me when I put an end to someone else's life.

 "I already know that," I said while smiling and quickly beheading him.

 His blood even spilled on my body. I saw in my katana the fresh blood of those I had killed recently. I felt longing and desire to see more blood.

 I wanted more blood... More... More... Blood... More blood...

 I hurried to the road where the werewolves had run earlier. Eventually, I went in front of them. They stopped. Earlier while they were in human form they were so brave and now they are like puppies with a split tails.

 Sorry but not sorry no one will make it out alive. The blood of their companions was not enough to make me happy. I'm not yet satisfied. I need more.

 "You're not going anywhere," I said coldly

 They quickly jumped towards me. But before they could finally get close, I cut them with my katana.

 They all fell to the floor and returned to their human form and gradually turned to ashes. I hurried back to my dorm and made sure no one saw me. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a shower while my clothes were still on me. I saw on the floor the blood of those I killed tonight. I smiled. How I love seeing blood. I quickly finished my shower and took the towel and went out of the bathroom.

When I came out, I got dressed right away. I sat in front of the mirror on my desk and took the comb and then combed my hair. I stared at the mirror. I grabbed my face. This face. Having this face was a curse. It doesn't do anything good to me. I quickly removed my gaze from the mirror. I immediately lay down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm.

I was about to fall asleep when my cellphone suddenly rang. Ugghh! What?! Why don't they let me go to sleep? Why they can't just leave me alone? I quickly picked up my cellphone and looked at it. Someone texted me but an unregistered number. But I know very well who it is. He is the only one who dares to do it.

 'I enjoyed your little show awhile ago. You didn't even change a bit. You're still the same Queen Raven that I knew'

I put my cellphone on the table and went to sleep. Tsk. He has no intention of leaving me alone, doesn't he? Isn't it enough that he already followed me up here that he still needs to bother me at this time when I want to sleep?! F*ck him.

Do whatever you want it's your life anyway. Watch me as long as you want. And me? I'm already going to sleep. 

"Don't go near me again. I don't want the idea of ​​you being near to me again. You suck! You're filthy, despicable, and obnoxious. You're a monster. You don't deserve to live."

"Please don't leave me! You said you will never leave me! You promised that you will always be by my side! We're best friends. You're the only one I have so please don't leave me. I don't want to be alone again."

 "I repeat I do not want to see you again. Do not come near me. I hate you. You are disgusting. I regretted all the days that I'm with you. And what did you say? We're best friends? Oh please spare me with that jokes of yours. It's just a show. You're just a way to kill time even from the start. I will never befriend you. You'll never be my best friend. I don't have one. Just accept it no one will ever like to be with you. No one loves you. No one will ever love you."

I suddenly opened my eyes. Just a bad nightmare. No, let me rephrase it is not just a nightmare it's one of my darkest past. I looked at the clock. It's only 3:00. I woke up early because of that nightmare. I will come later to 8:00. I tried to sleep again but I couldn't. I suddenly remembered what I had dreamed of just now.

--

I was walking around the park when I saw a boy sitting on a swing. I quickly approached him. You can do it Akisha Raven Scott. You'll just befriend him there's nothing to be scared of. Maybe he is not like the others. I have a strong feeling that he is different.

 When I got close to him I stopped in front of him causing him to look up at me. I was amazed at what I saw. Wow! Red eyes! Red hair! So cool!

 "Uhm... hello. Can we be friends?" I asked totally ashamed

 "No," he answered directly to the point

He answered so quickly. He did not even hesitate.

 "Please! Please! Let's be friends! Pretty please!" I pleaded to him teary-eyed.

 "I don't want to. Just find other kids that can be your friend. Go away." he said in a monotone voice

 He is so cold! Scary!

 "I-if I just could then I shouldn't be here begging you to befriend me. It's just that they don't like me." I said and bit my lip and was on the verge of crying.

 Don't! Don't cry in front of a stranger! I forced a smile and tried to make my voice energetic to mask the pain I'm feeling right now.

 "Uhm... O-okay. I won't force you anymore. I'll go ahead first. G-goodbye" I said and ran away. Shocks! So embarrassing. I even stuttered in front of him.

I kept running until I saw a big tree not far from the park where I came from earlier. I sat there and hugged my knee.

 I cried my heart out. Why they don't like me? Is something wrong with me? Am I ugly? Is it because I'm a freak? Am I really a monster? Why did I even think that it will be different this time? No one ever likes me and he won't be different from them. No one will love a monster like me.

I felt someone standing in front of me when I looked at Mr. Red. I don't know his name. He sat down to level with me. Then he wiped my tears.

 "Don't cry. It doesn't suit you. You look ugly."

 "Thank you."

 After he wiped my tears he sat down next to me

 "I'm Ash by the way."
