Enchantment Of The Night-Chapter 78: Vampire Vs Human

"It’s not just any noise. It’s... singing," Aaliyah replied, trying to listen to more.

Yuan placed a hand on her shoulders, "Are you sure you’re okay?"

Realising no one could hear it apart from her, Aaliyah shook her head and they all continued to class. Her thoughts kept wandering around that noise, and it was as though it was calling to her.

Telling her to come to the Sixth floor. She couldn’t fathom what was going on.

Once they were in class, everyone took their seats. Both girls sat side by side and the guys sat directly behind them. The class was buzzing as everyone patiently awaited the professor to arrive.

"Well, well, well," A feminine voice purred, voice dripping with mock curiosity, "If it isn’t our less privileged Vampire,"

Aaliyah felt a surge of anger shoot through her even before she looked up. Laura was walking up to them, along with two girls who had the same mocking look in their eyes.

Probably her loyal cronies or something.

Laura’s expensive boots clicked as she stopped in front of them, one brow arched with a pondering look in her eyes.

"I saw you come in together with my Brother," Laura said, her gaze stern, "What did you do?" She questioned.

Yuan met her gaze, "Why don’t you go ask your brother?"

"I won’t repeat myself, Yuan. Blake isn’t supposed to be seen associating with the likes of you," Her angered gaze flickered directly to Aaliyah, who was now glaring at her, "To the likes of either one of you!" She added.

"Laura, what are you doing?" Blake asked from behind, "That’s enough now. Go back to your seat,"

"Why should I?" Laura fired back, "I won’t accept this. You can’t be seen moving with these...," Laura’s eyes burned with disgust as she stared between Lancelot, Yuan and Aaliyah again, "These underprivileged, unacceptable things. It makes no sense!"

"I told you, that’s enough!" Blake’s voice hitched, eyes laced with warning, "Now, go back to your seat, Laura. Don’t cause any more trouble,"

Laura didn’t seem to be listening, "Was it the witch?" Her eyes snapped at Lancelot, "Did he do something to warp your brain? Or was it...the one that came here to die?" She glared at Aaliyah, "Did she use her unknown powers to do something to you? Or...," Laura slowly eyed Yuan as though she was simply dirt under her feet, "Was it this...,"

That was as much as Aaliyah could take.

She pounced on Laura the next instant, her fists impacting on Laura’s nose. Laura stumbled back, holding her nose with a surprised and furious expression now spreading through her eyes. When she pulled her hands away, her nose was bleeding.

Everyone gasped.

Aaliyah didn’t let it stop there. She jumped over her desk and sent another punch to the vampire’s face, and everyone was surprised as Laura’s face actually gave in to the punch and a bruise appeared on her face.

Laura was a Vampire. Aaliyah was supposed to be human. Her attacks should have no effect on Laura’s skin, and yet it was as though it were another supernatural creature that was attacking Laura.

Before Aaliyah could tackle her again, Laura shifted out of the way with her inhumane speed and came to stand behind Aaliyah.

Her eyes turned red from anger and her claws grew out of her fingers. She raised her fingers to swipe at Aaliyah’s back, but what happened next left her in nothing but awe.

Aaliyah was no longer standing in front of her and had also moved with that inhumane speed, even faster than Laura and sent a fist slamming into Laura’s back so hard she gasped for air and tasted blood on her lips.

"I thought you were from the prestigious, privileged Fang family!" Aaliyah taunted with a smirk, "How come you’re yet to land a blow? Why are you so freaking slow? You’re bringing shame to your ’Prestigious’ family, you know? You’re letting an underprivileged human like me kick your ass in front of the whole class,"

Laura seethed with anger boiling through her face, and lunged for Aaliyah again, "You’re gonna regret this,"

Aaliyah slips out of the way with a small roll, "You’re slow for me, Laura. Let me show you what it means to be fast,"

A jab to the throat before Laura could react had her whirling back.

Aaliyah moved to beat her again, but a hand dragged her wrist and began to yank her back.

Laura’s cronies also surrounded her to stop the fight.

"Stop. Or you’re gonna get yourself in trouble!" Blake was saying as he tried to pull her as far away as possible.

"Get out of my way!" Laura snapped at her friends, "Let go of me! I have to kill her! I have to make her regret ever laying her filthy hands on me!" She screamed like she was about to go mad.

Aaliyah shoved Blake away, glaring at him, "Mind your business. Since your family couldn’t bring her up properly so she controls her tongue, I’ll just rip that tongue out!"

"No!" Blake grabbed her hand again.

"Aaliyah, you need to stop," Yuan added, too. "It’s fine. Or you’re gonna get in detention and Olympia’s detention isn’t something anyone can handle. Some have come out of detention and have been sent home due to their altered mental capacity,"

"Correct!" A sharp feminine voice said from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw Professor Hitch standing there. Her tall frame filled the door, and her large eyes glared between the two women who were being held back.

Everyone stopped.

"Detention, both of you!" She snapped again.

Laura glared with blood smeared on her lips.

"Duel Hall. From 6pm till sunrise!"

Gasp rippled across the class. Dual detention was no joke! And from 6pm till sunrise? That was the absolute worst.

"Your homeroom Professors will be informed immediately and will take charge of each of your detentions. By sunrise, you’ll learn never to mess with the rules of Olympia,"

Aaliyah squeezed her eyes shut with a small grunt. Their homeroom Professors? Does that mean she would have seen Alastair tonight? Spend the whole night with him? God, it was truly torture.

But then, that crazy part of her got a little giddy with excitement.

Damn the stupid mate bond!

"Now it’s either you lower your eyes and take your seats," Hitch continued, referring to Laura who wouldn’t stop glaring like a crazed animal, "Or you get out of my class and get double detention,"

Yuan quickly pulled Aaliyah to sit next to her, while Laura was dragged back to her seat by her friends.

The rest of the day passed in a blur. After class, the four of them walked toward the library as though they were being teetered toward the building. But actually, Aaliyah and Yuan were going to read, while the boys were following close behind.

"That’s definitely going in the newspaper," Lance mumbled close to Blake’s ear.

"It’s gonna make Sebastian even more excited to get his hands on her," Blake replied in a whisper.

"You think if we manage to get Aaliyah and Laura to beg Professor Hitch, she would cancel the detention?" Lance mumbled again.

"Did you see the look on Hitch’s face? I don’t think so. From what I felt, she had been standing there watching them fight before anyone noticed her,"

"No wonder she said till sunrise,"

"Will you shut up already?!" Yuan turned around and yelled at Lance. She flashed Blake an irritated smile, then turned back to Aaliyah.

"You good?!"

Aaliyah’s eyes twitched, "I’m wonderful," She gritted, "I can’t wait to get this detention over with,"
