“Flight Wildbolt, is now boarding! Head towards gate six!”
“That’s just, Jess.”, I tell.
She runs up to Mr. Slender and gives him a hug, then followed by Miss Karmay, Miss Sullivan, and then Mr. Sapping. He whispers something in her ear before she aggressively shakes her head, which I found adorable; she grabs her backpack and waits for me. I quickly hug everyone as we wave them from behind. Once we got there, the line wasn’t too long, but it took some time before we could get on the plane. When we finally got on the plane, Jess had the window seat while I had the middle seat. There were many people passing us, most of them would glare at me, which I figured would happen, but I don’t pay attention until Molly walks while murmured, “Stupid, half-ling. Ruin our college name!”
Rolling my eyes at that, I glance out of the corner of my eye to see Jess glaring at Molly. Messing up her hair as she hits my hand, mumbles, “Mama, not the hair!” Before I could even say anything, we heard a laugh come from behind me. We turned our attention to our guest, to see a male with a more defined muscular body shape while having a tan complex. The more we stared at the male, the awkward he got. Not wanting the guy to feel more awkward than he already is feeling.
“Are you the person who’s sitting with us?”, I ask.
“Yeah, I hope-”
“If it’s not a half-ling and a giant!”, someone yells.
Ignoring them, I wait for the guy to sit down when Jess pulls on my arm away so she can grab my backpack, so could grab some snacks. As she does that, the male looks between us for over a few minutes, so I decide to be the first to talk.
“Hi, I’m Raina and this is my daughter, Jessica.”, I introduced ourselves.
“I’m Brandon; it’s a pleasure to meet you two!”, he says.
“What are you?”, Jess asks bluntly.
“Jessica! You can’t just ask that bluntly!”, I whisper-yell.
“Sorry.”
“It’s alright; I’m a half-giant. What are you guys?”, he answers, then asks.
“I’m a vampire angel and she’s a human!”, Jess states proudly.
Giving her a smile, before she goes back to do whatever she was doing before. Glancing outside, I take notice that we’re getting ready to leave, so I belt Jess before doing the same with myself. As we waited for the plane to take off, I noticed Brandon wasn't looking so good, quickly getting the anti-nausea potion out of the bag and handing it to him.
“Thank you, but why do you have it?”, he says, then asks.
“No problem, for the reason I have it is that Mr. Sapping figure since I don’t know if Jess gets motion sickness or not.”, I explained to him.
“Mhm; so how did you two meet?”, he asks before rushing out. “Not to be rude!”
“Calm down, Brandon. I knew that question was coming up since my daughter told you what she is. Found her at the beginning of my junior year and we’ve been together ever since.”, I say quickly before explaining.
“I’m glad you helped her; what is your goal at the institute?”, he asks.
“I want everyone to be united. All my life, I’ve seen how each race stays with their light friends or dark but never together.”
“That would help everyone when getting jobs.”, he states.
Nodding my head at him, resting my head against Jess’s head that landed on my shoulder when I was walking to him. As time went on, I couldn’t go back to sleep so I took a glance at Brandon to see him staring at something or someone; lifting my head slightly to see what he’s staring at, to see some girls that Molly has in front of her making fun of him. Glaring towards them, just when Molly looked from her phone; she glares hard before turning her attention towards Brandon and she smiles, not like a normal smile but a sadist look. Slight got uncomfortable, so I rushed to look at something else, hoping to take my mind off the look she gave him.
“She doesn’t seem friendly.”, Brandon whispers.
“Yeah, no. Not even close.”, I state.
“Well, I already know who I’m avoiding.”, he says before laughing and I join in.
“Yes, please do! We don’t know what she’ll do!”, I laughed out loud.
“You're so mean!”, he says, laughing.
“I am not!”, I say, hitting his arm.
“Ow. You know there’s a fight class in the institute?”, he says, then asks.
“No, I’ll have to ask the headmistress about taking that class with Jess.”, I state.
“That would be a good idea.”, he stated before talking normally.
A few minutes after he said that, he let out a grant, raising an eyebrow at him, but I didn't ask. Closing the blinds to the window so the sun doesn’t wake Jess up when I hear another groan. Now staring at him, as he’s bent over, holding his stomach; placing a gentle hand on his shoulder blade when he takes a sharp inhale. Eyes go wide when I realize what’s happening. Quickly takes the shrink potion and uncork it before handing it to him, which he quickly drinks.
“Thank you.”
“No problem, but I was wondering why the potion wore off.”, I state, curiously.
“I took the potion around nine.”, he explains.
“You know that the shrink potion only lasts for three hours before you felt the pain of your body going back to normal size.”, I state, bluntly.
“Know I do.”, he states, while leaning back in his seat.
“Potions isn’t my strongest subject, so it's why I didn’t know that it only lasts three hours, so I’m really thankful for you.”, he states while his eyes shut.
“Sleep. The potion takes some energy out of the consumer. We’ve only been on the flight for an hour.”, I say.
He was out before I was done talking; shaking my head at the guy before pulling out two blankets and a pillow, covering him with the blanket and placing the pillow under his head, then turning to Jess to cover her as well. Setting an alarm for another three hours, before heading to sleep, but just as I do that, someone whispers, “You know more than humans do.”
Waking up to the alarm, rushing to turn it off not to wake anyone else; pulling out another shrink potion before placing into the cup holder then gently waking up Brandon. It took a while, as he seems like a heavy sleeper. After, about thirty minutes, he finally woke up.“You're a pain to wake up; just drink this and go back to sleep.”, I say then state.He drinks the potion before falling back asleep, not feeling tired. I take out my History of Broken Families, and opening the book, a letter falls out. Picking it up, I place the book down before opening the letter and read, “Hello, Raina, I’ve sent the two Salynx to your institute. When you get there, they’ll pick which one they want to be with. I figured since you’ll be in a forest, it would be better than living here with me. I al
“It’s possible.”, I state, while looking at the menu. “Could I have some blood, mama?”, a voice asks. “Sure. Aaron?”, I said. “Yes?” “Could you find the blood that’s in your bag and give it to Jess, please and thank you.”, I ask, not looking up. Once I found what I wanted and what Jess would like as well; handing the menu over to Brandon just as the flight attendant came back around. “I’ll be having the freezer-friendly frittata breakfast sandwich.”, Brandon tells her. “I’ll have a southwest quinoa breakfast bowl
“What is this? A human and a vampire angel, don’t make me laugh.”“Don’t start.”, I tell Jess.“Belt in, we'll arrive in a few minutes.”We belt in as I look out the window once again; the griffin was nowhere to be found. Side glancing at Brandon, I see him talking to our two new friends. Leaning my head back on the seat as I close my eyes. I’m definitely not going to get a lot of sleep. Once the plane landed, we all headed out and grabbed our bags. The five of us were the first people waiting outside for them to pick us up; not even a few minutes had passed when a guy who looked like he’s bad news came up behind Jess. I was about to say something when I realized why the guy was standing right behind her. A few feet from us was another male, staring creepil
Once we’re through, we see that we’re outside the campus. Jess wants to be put down, so placing her down, I take the cub and she makes a run for the front. Yelling for Jessica, before calling on Aaron.“Aaron.”“You called?”, he answers while popping up.“Yeah, can you take this cub to the animal wing and treat its hind leg? Also, could you run a scan of the cub as well.”, I ask, then add.He nods his head before taking the cub and popping out; Jessica reaches the front. I believe the headmistress was the one to pick her up. Not a hundred percent sure, but yeah.“Welcome, to Silverleaf Grove Institute. I am headmistress Angel. Your bags are all in your rooms; lunch will be
I eat as everyone else just looks at me until someone comes walking through the doors; not bothering to look up as I continue to eat when I hear a few teachers whispering about the person. Curiously, I wanted to see who they were whispering about, but would it really be beneficial?“What is that girl doing?”That didn’t take long; looking up, I saw Jess crouching the newcomer; the male was just staring at her, as if no one really came up to him. Before she could open her mouth, Molly grabs her and moves her away from the guy before giving him a flirty smile. Slightly upset with her, but didn’t want to interfere with Jess’s fun, so I waited.“The girl’s mother hasn’t taught her anything.”, she says as she stares at Jess.
“You’ll have three days before classes start, so take that time to get settled in; I’ll give it to you two.”, the headmistress said before leaving.Closing the folder before looking up, I watch as Jess rubs her eyes sleepily, so not take the chance that she’ll run into a few things in her bedroom. I lift her up and begin walking towards her room; halfway to her room and she’s already passed out. Her sleep schedule is all out of whack, so I don’t hold it against her. Laying her down, before covering her up with the blanket, once I was out of her room and back in the living room, I grabbed the key and to find the headmistress’s office. Passing a couple of people, as they whisper but honestly not caring, so I pay them no mind at all; after asking for help halfway through, since the key didn’t change into a map. Making a mental note of where her office is a
Tj quickly raises his hands before putting them back on the wheel. Glaring at the guy as he tries to hide the smirk that’s forming on his face. Not wanting to be more pissed, I put my focus on something other than him, which was outside. Taking notice of the name, Уникальный; I keep my eyes open to see all the unique stores they have. Excited to explore a new place; he parks the car and we all get out, heading over to our other friends to see that Maya wasn’t with them.“Maya ran off.”, Zane says bluntly.Letting out a laugh at how bluntly he said it as if this was a normal occasion. Jess was about to run off as well, but I quickly grabbed the back of her shirt and gave her a knowing look. Pouting while crossing her arms as I let her go; “I’ll buy you something from their sweet store if you behave.”, I tell her.
As we wait in line, Jess gets antsy. Before anything could happen, Molly speaks loudly, “Looky here, it seems like a half-ling!”Jess lets out a growl while moving closer, quickly putting my arm out to stop her as she continues to glare at her. This isn’t what we needed, Tj and Zane to take the rest of the stuff out of my hands. Rushing to get Jess in my arms and out of the store before she loses all control over her vampire side; her hair changes from lilac with baby blue bangs to pitch black with red bangs and her eyes go from blue ombre to ruby red. Shit! This isn’t good at all!“You need to calm down.”, I whisper.“Don’t tell me what to do!”, they snapped back.Great, now I have a pissed-off vampire who doesn&rsqu
