"Cornelius," Donovan called softly. I didn't turn. There wasn't any possible way I could turn around and not... kill her. I grimaced, temporarily molding my face. It stayed that way when I walked into the classroom on my class list. As fresh air flowed by, it calmed me down.
Today for first hour language arts, we were giving speeches, so I had no reason to pay attention. I already knew everything and more than the teacher anyways. So I had enough time to plan.
There had to be something I could do about this. I'd bet Donovan already covered for me. He always did.
The girl probably noticed that I was acting extremely rude for a first meeting. Maybe was curious. I could imagine the ocean colored eyes speculating and calculating what we were like. But that would be a very bad idea. Deadly, in fact. She would want to build a relationship to get closer, and I would snap. Or, rather, I would snap her. She would be left in pieces under my hands.
I couldn't do this to a human. I couldn't take away her lucky, uncursed life. But... what if I did?
What if I changed her? I wouldn't be attracted to her pulsing blood anymore. There would be no more danger to her. Surely Josephine would see my point. She always did. Marilynn, our "mother", didn't particuarlly like humans. She envied them, so she was out on the subject.
