"If you clip a bird's wings, how long do you think it'll survive without it's ability to fly?"
Sunlight twisted in the background as the sun began to rise. The clink and clang of the school bell resounded through Asuka's ears as she frowned. She had known with the new system in check, she wouldn't be able to perform her duty as prefect as efficiently as she had the previous years. Night Class and Day Class were now a single Class. Although the two still held different schedules, the fact that they were now allowed to mingle strained Asuka's duty. She, along with another prefect, had trouble keeping Vampires away from the humans as they constantly terrorized the humans. By terrorize, Asuka meant vampires as a whole were constantly trying to taste the humans. She sighed as she spotted a former Night Class student approaching a Day Class student. The two exchanged words before leaving. Dorm partners probably, she thought as she glanced at her watch.
A shriek caused her to glance in the direction it came from as a smile formed on her pursed lips. She reached out, grabbing onto the white owl as he made his descent. She hugged the owl affectionately before allowing him to climb up to her shoulder before making his perch. He nudged her face affectionately before shaking his feathers, making himself appear like a white cottonball on Asuka's shoulder. She stroked his feathers as her eyes kept a close watch on the students. It was a bit difficult to keep tabs on the students now. She wasn't sure if the vampires were interested in taking a bite out of the humans, or if the humans were getting themselves in a predicament.
What is on your mind, Asuka? she heard the owl state. She sighed, clearing her thoughts before scanning the area. Is it that time? Didn't you just, he stopped mid-sentence as Asuka gave him a stern glance, causing the owl to chuckle. I will take it as soon as my patrol is over. Will you go check the back of the school for me? There were two students last night hanging around the art room, she retorted as the owl ruffled his feathers before taking off, his wings beating against the current of air. She smiled as she watched Snow leave, his form retreating into the far distance. The morning sun began to shine brighter as each minute passed. The blue sky was brighter than usual and Asuka was left with no choice but to smile.
She made her way inside of the building, glancing into the class rooms to make sure all students were inside. Once she was finished, she made her way towards the cafeteria. She greeted the lunch lady, Miss Naito, who handed her a cup of water. She thanked the woman before taking off towards her sanctuary: the music room. It was there that she could always feel a sense of normalcy and serenity. Once there, she opened the window, allowing Snow to make a perch on the nearby chair. He closed his eyes as Asuka grabbed a chair. She sat, not before taking a single white tablet from the chain that hung loosely around Snow's neck. She placed it inside of the cup and watched as the pure color turned to crimson.
This is becoming more frequent Asuka, perhaps you should try taking one of the packs your Uncle sent you, he spoke to Asuka who merely sighed. I know you said you wanted to hold off as long as possible, but do you think you can wait that long? the owl questioned, his black eyes staring into Asuka's jade colored ones as she sipped the liquid, cringing as it leaked down her chin. She wiped it away before setting the now empty cup down to the side and leaned against the chair.
I, she paused, placing her head in her hands as she sighed, I don't want to have to resort to that Snow. I don't want to take a chance at being discovered, she retorted before grabbing the nearby instrument. She picked up the bow and struck the violin carefully, listening as she adjusted the strings. Finally, she pulled the bow across once more and smiled as the sound that elicited from it was the one she was looking for.
She closed her eyes and began to play a soft melody, becoming ignorant to the world around her as Snow listened to the music with his owner.
