Special access to even the Professor Lounge? This feels like we acquired the golden ticket for being the first survivors.
Who knows if the Professor Lounge will be beneficial to us, but any resources available to us and not everyone attending N.M.U. is an advantage I’ll enjoy abusing.
And maybe annoying Professor North.
I don’t know if the man can read minds or if he’s simply staring at me during my entire thought process, but he’s pointing in my face.
“Don’t you dare think about it!”
“I have not a clue of what you’re talking about,” I declare innocently and take the lead in following Headmaster Atlas.
I can hear Professor Blackbird’s low chuckle before he comments, “You know what, I really like her. She grinds your gears worse than I do.”
“Fuck you, Daemon.”
“I know you don’t mean that,” he teases. “At least, not during work hours.”
“Oh. Are you two together?” Blair wonders.
“No!” Professor North shuts the idea down.
“Maybe,” Professor Blackbird answers instead. “Curious, aren’t you, Duo Bunny?”
“Duo Bunny?” Blair ponders on the unique nickname. “Doesn’t sound as cool as Darling Nightmare.”
“Ah,” Professor Blackbird hums the single exaggerated word. “That’s because Miss Guinevere is extra special.” I can hear him whisper his next words, “You have to claim ownership of what you want early, for the very air surrounding us has ears, and you never know who or what will fight to claim what you’re destined to have.”
Claim what you’re destined to have…
“Walk faster!” Professor North orders. “We have places to be, Daemon.”
“And I’m in trouble,” he hums, and I sense him on my left. “Shall I give you a private tour of the Professor Lounge later, Darling Nightmare?”
“She doesn’t need a tou—”
“Sure,” I interrupt Professor North. “Why not.”
“That’s the spirit,” Professor Blackbird cheers and leans over to whisper, “You can always stay in my room if Orpheus is being a dick.”
“Professor Blackbird,” Headmaster Atlas comments. “I can hear you.”
“You mean the gossip from the fae goblins? It’s been a while since they’ve lingered around and manipulated our conversations,” he declares loudly and gives me a wink.
Okay, I like him.
The way I smile catches his attention as he slips his hands into his pockets.
“I hope you smile like that often, Darling Nightmare,” he whispers and corrects his posture, making me realize he was crouching over to speak as close to my level as he could maintain while following his headmaster’s lead.
Staring ahead, I let his words uplift me while I finally allow myself to accept what’s about to happen as we step away from walking through the open golden gates.
Despite the challenges, uncertainty, and doubts I carried in my mind, I not only secured my attendance at Nephilim Malevolence University but proved I’m someone not to be overlooked.
Even as the child of a Gilded Merger.
We take the first steps into the shadowy depths, and my heart blossoms with awe as the shadows unravel the true beauty hidden from the undeserving.
Nephilim Malevolence University… a gothic paradise of hidden secrets.
