School for Mythical Beasts (nduns x Lunar-Peacle)

Needless to say, the sudden appearance of a male in the girls' washroom did cause a commotion. From all the screaming, Faye recognised it to be one of her friends, as she went in and investigate. Voices of all sorts were audible from there.

"You filthy pervert! What are you doing here?!" A nymph cried out.

"As if groping Faye's breasts weren't enough! You're lucky she has forgiven you!" An empousai spoke next.

"On the other hand, are we just too unnaturally beautiful you couldn't resist?" A rusalka spoke somewhat seducively as she attempted to tease the boy to tone down the atmosphere.

Faye had entered the washroom to see poor Neil apparently inside. In her horror, she whispered to Neil as she dragged him outside. "What were you doing in there?!"

Callum on the other hand just about to lose his cool the moment he heard the screaming. Nevertheless, he was calmed down by the carrot gifted by Robby. "You sure? You could be hungry..." Nevertheless, he was grateful. After a moment of silence, he took the carrot from him. "Thanks."

 

Faye looked around if she could find traces of the creature responsible, to no avail. Oh well.

"Figured as much. Hey, why don't I show you around! Where is your next class?"

 

"Oh, me too! Let's go!" She took him by the hand and brought him to that classroom.

Despite the notion of wanting to read up on the lessons from the class, Callum found himself asleep in a secluded corner of the library, where there was dim lighting and his head was on his desk, snoring lightly.

 

Unfortunately for poor Callum, he had really good hearing. He heard bristling from a few shelves away and it was enough to wake him up. Groggily he walked to the source of the noise. Half angrily, half annoyed. Who dares to disrupt the supposed peaceful quiet the library is meant to have?

He stopped when he saw those lamia. Again. Why do snakes like so much trouble?

Marching over, he spoke to the Lamia. "Dare I emphassssisssse that the library is no place for inappropriate physsssical activity, you hagssssss?" To spite them even more? He hissed at every possible 's' sound his sentence had.

 

Callum lost his patience that morning. He was dead tired, and if he was pushed to the point of anger, he would go berserk. Willing himself to calm down, he spoke again. "Why thank you for your kind words." He only smiled a moment at Izy, before letting his smile falter at the lamia, with no intention of leaving whatsoever.

 

Callum watched the lamia group leave as he turned to Izy. "You alright?" He was beginning to feel like this was becoming more and more of a routine for him. He could not very well have the bullying go unabated.

A yawn elicited from his lips, baring his sharp fangs as he did.

 

"Good to hear." He smiled lightly. Even as a vampire, whose family always prioritised superiority above all species, Callum wasn't interested in that.

"Well, I didn't think I had properly introduced myself. My name is Callum." He extended a hand to hers.

 

"I suppose. I will have to get back for another class or so. I may see you later then. Sure hope they close the bloody blinds this time." He growled the last part under his breath.

 

"Not you again..." He hissed as the sunlight was seemingly at its peak. Was it noon already?

He gritted his teeth, not willing to show weakness even as the sunlight burned into his face, being careful to close his eyes. He had covered up everywhere else save for his face and hands.

Trying to put up an attempt to at least escape, he tried to wrestle himself away from the lamias' grasp.

 

The moment he felt the burning sensation leave his face, he opened his eyes, albeit painfully. It apparently looked like the rabbit from earlier had taken down the lamias around. He then wrestled himself away from the lamia's grasp. Looking in the general direction of the blurry green figure before him, he muttered a feeble thanks to the rabbit boy.
