“Who said you were the villain of my story?”
“I’m the villain of everyone’s story, Darling Nightmare,” he reveals like some sort of hidden secret. “And I’ll most certainly be yours if that unfazed personality of yours further turns me on.”
“Delightful,” I say without moving my gaze from his. “I’m up for the challenge.”
The tension between us is both insulting and highly addicting.
I’m a sicko to say I like it.
“No wonder why the administration is talking about you,” he mutters with an odd pout. “You’re dang— AH!”
He’s picked up by the golden cobra and thrown back until he crashes into the wall. A silver barrier emerges last minute to cushion the impact, but he falls straight into a bunch of rose bushes.
“Orpheus!” he cries out and hisses as he fights to get out of the vine bushes.
Professor North, on the other hand, is now in my face.
“No flirting with the professors of the school,” he snarls furiously.
“I wasn’t flirting,” I argue.
“Yes, you were!” he counters.
“How was I flirting? Give me an example.” Why do I love poking at this man’s ruffled feathers?
“You…” he begins and can’t put the words together to accuse me. The way I smile has him pointing in my face. “Instead of causing mischief, finish the trial.”
“We did,” I argue.
“You did not! You’re still standing here, and the gate is farther behind me. Neither of you has reached the gate, meaning if I truly wanted, I could simply knock you out, and you’d fail.”
Instead of feeling threatened by his words, I point at his chest, leaving him surprised as I lean right into his face.
“You said you’d meet me at the gate,” I barely whisper and watch the way his cheeks begin to flush. “So I’m meeting you.” Pulling away entirely, I walk around and past him, forcing him and his colleague to see Blair is already at the gate with what looks to be a smaller version of the cobra from earlier.
“Ophelia! This snake is so cute!” she squeals. “It likes my golden scales. Look!” She lets a few scales emerge across the flesh of her left hand.
That immediately grabs the cobra’s attention as it wraps around her hand and admires the twinkling flesh that glimmers despite the lack of light.
“Does she have a name?” I wonder as I reach her and am surprised this little creature was the massive predator ready to destroy us.
“Not sure, but if not, we’ll give her one!” Blair vows. “Are you done flirting with those professors?”
“I wasn’t flirting,” I mumble and watch the way Blair smirks.
“Mhmm,” she replies and leans inward to whisper, “You didn’t even realize he wanted you distracted so you wouldn’t reach the gates because he’s jealous, did you?”
I can’t combat her because I hadn’t considered that.
“As your new friend and partner at N.M.U., I’ll make sure your pussy doesn’t distract you,” she says with a wink.
“Blair.”
“Oh, look! We made it to the gates,” she dramatically announces. “We finished!”
Now that she mentions it, I’m left wondering if we completed the entrance trial.
Looking back at Professor North, who’s approaching us with his scowling face, I catch onto Professor Blackbird, who is walking our way and pulling out thorns that are embedded deep in his flesh.
