Chapter Eighteen

Everyone stares at me when I return to the classroom. I’m certain I smell like sulfur, but nobody comments. It’s almost like they’re too intimidated. I recall the disappearance of the original demon that I slayed. If anyone asks, I can just tell them that the same thing happened this time. Nobody has to know.

“Is everyone okay?” I ask, unable to bring forth much energy. I’m exhausted from my racing heart and the revelations of the day.

“Yeah,” Nicolai says, his jaw propped open just a little.

I nod and take my seat just as Azrael flies back in, her face grave. “Everyone should go back to their dormitories,” she says. Then, she turns to me, a question on her face when she sees the sword. Everyone is already leaving, and she asks me, “Are you alright?”

I nod.

“Did you…?” She doesn’t speak the full sentence. I don’t want her to, because I’d have to attempt to lie to her. I am so tired of lying to people.

I shrug, casting my eyes downward. Let her make her assumptions. It’s better than the truth.

She takes a moment before speaking again. “Would you like to discuss it?”

Instead of answering, I shake my head.

“Will I see you at our lessons this weekend?” she asks. Her voice is filled with nothing but concern for me and my well-being. I almost feel bad in deceiving her.

“Yeah,” I say.

No matter how kind she is now, there’s no way she would feel the same if she knew what I was hiding in my room.
