"Even the night, with all its beauty, can be deceiving."
Vincent stared at the board in front of him, waiting for the others of his class to appear. He had managed to remove the small white fox from his person before entering the building. There were times where he wanted to mutilate the familiar, however; it was hers. He wouldn't touch it if only for that reason. A soft sigh passed through his nose as he turned to watch the sun disappear into the thick blackness of the night. There were no stars out this night, keeping the sky from being illuminated. The only thing that did light up the sky, was the bright moon hanging in the air. It's light was the only thing noticeable. His attention was taken from the scenery at the sound of someone entering the room.
He glanced over, spotting the only other pure-blooded vampire: Jaspar. Although Vincent would never admit it out loud, he valued the other vampire's companionship. He had earned a place in Vincent's world to the point he considered Jaspar a friend. Though they had little in common, they shared one thing: responsibility. Being both members of the Vampire Council, they had a lot to balance. Not that it was a difficult thing to do, but there were moments when Vincent would wonder why the black-haired vampire would even put up with the Student Council. Whatever the reason, Vincent never had the desire to ask.
He returned Vincent's nod, but remained unwavering in his placid appearance. His attention was taken by another being entering the room. It was the new student, Nikki, if he recalled correctly. His eyes narrowed the slightest before returning to their normal, uncaring gesture. There was something odd about the girl, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. Somewhere in the confines of his mind, it irritated him slightly, if only very little. She was nothing important to him and she kept her distance from most of them to begin with. He had no other reason to interact with her nor did he wish to. He returned his attention outside, watching as the clouds rolled over the moon. Erys should be attending to the crowd by now.
Much like Jaspar, Vincent decided that the outside was more interesting than the lecture. He too had lived a long time, and most of the history that was covered was something he had experienced first hand. Some of the information was a bit off, but despite all of that, the historical records were about as close to the truth as he was a vampire. He sighed through his nose as he turned his crimson gaze back to the teacher. It seemed that class was over for now. His eyes followed Jaspar as the pure-blood stood and made his way towards the one known as Nikki. Words were exchanged, however; the response of the girl was far too indecent to have been spoken towards Jaspar.
He had nothing personal against the girl, and it was Jaspar's problem, not his own. The other pure-blood would deal with the arrogance of the girl as he saw fit. But knowing the raven-haired vampire, his heart wouldn't allow him to exact punishment. Vincent merely kept a stoic expression as his eyes followed the vampiress as she left. He then allowed them to drift back towards Jaspar, a delicate brow raised in slight, if noticeable, curiosity.
Erys groaned in frustration. She had forgotten how easily it was to be overrun by the Day Class when they were intent on meeting with the Night Class. Although she had managed to get a few of them to return to their dorm without much problem, there was still the handful that remained. She should have a little talk with the Headmaster about getting her a potential partner for this. She was only one person and she could only do so much. Granted she was half vampire, she wasn't exactly keen on using that to her advantage. With a shrug of her shoulders, she began positioning herself in front of the crowd as more of the Night Class students appeared. It was then that the students became louder in their calls of affection, causing Erys to wince slightly and dig a finger into her ear.
She pulled out nothing, as expected, and flicked the remains off of her finger. Heaving a sigh, Erys fought back the urge to grab a nearby student and personally escort them back to the dorms. She couldn't understand why the Day Class was always so worked up for the Night Class. Sure, the Night Class was filled with beautiful people who had an air of danger about them, but was that all the Day Class was really attracted to? She snorted at the thought as she placed a hand on her hip. Taking her index finger and thumb, she placed them in her mouth and let out a sharp whistle, effectively gaining the attention of the students. Once they were all in their dorms, Erys was finally able to conduct her rounds.
The night was uneventful for the most part, a twig snap here and there left her on her toes though. There was a strange feeling in the back of her mind that she was being followed, however; she quickly deduced that she wasn't. She couldn't smell nor hear anything for the most part. The closest person in the vicinity was Yuri, her familiar. Everyone else was up in their dorm or their classes. A frown marred her face as something captured her attention. It was faint, but the soft padding of feet hitting the ground caused Erys to grab Ulrik from his holster and heaved it over her shoulder. She took off in the direction of the sound, stepping lightly as to not make her presence known.
"It's only me, Eri," Yuri spoke as she stepped out from the shadows. Erys frowned at her familiar as she replaced Ulrik back in his holster. She picked the fox up in her arms and held her at arms length, allowing the creature to dangle. "Is that any way to treat your friend?" Yuri stated as she wormed out of Erys' grasp and curled up on the girl's shoulder. Erys only grinned in response, hooking a finger under Yuri's chin and began to scratch it.
"Well, it's not every night my familiar decides to try and sneak up on me," She replied as Yuri rolled her blue eyes. "Did you find anything worth telling about?" she questioned her familiar. Usually, Yuri helped with Erys' prefect duties. Being the only prefect, she couldn't be two places at once, and with Yuri, she had an extra pair of eyes so to speak. Yuri could relay information on possible students out and about when they shouldn't be, and Erys could be in their location within two minutes. Having that extra burst of speed came in handy.
"Nothing. Although there was a strange interaction between the von Nacht and the new transfer student," she answered, causing Erys to raise a questionable eyebrow. The girl, Nikki, was new to the school. Was she already trying to cause trouble? This caused Erys to furrow her brows lightly. She shook the thought from her head. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding, but regardless, Vincent could take care of it if something happened. Or the von Nacht heir himself which Erys was sure was more than capable of handling his own.
