On top of the first year building outside the roof, it was a calm day. It wasn’t too hot and it hadn’t rained in a few days so the ground was dry. Quinn stood there opposite Fex while the others stood just behind the roof door. The door was slightly open as the four of them peeked to have a look at what was going on.
Erin’s hand was twitching as she had it hovered over her sword’s hilt. The others had to do everything in their power to convince her to not go out there and start a fight straight away. They were interested in what Fex had to say and if she was to go out with her head full of steam right now, it would ruin everything. The best option for them was to come out of this with no fighting.
If that did happen, Vorden was prepared, he currently had an ice ability, a fire ability and also a slow regenerative ability. While trying to get the ability it took him longer then he thought, the original person he got it from last time he couldn’t;t find. luckily at the last moment, he was able to find another student with a similar but weaker version of the ability.
He needed to make sure to keep the regenerative ability just in case things didn’t go to plan. If Fex really didn’t have a solution then once again he would have to prepare himself to remove another body part. It was also unlikely that he would be able to get Sil to fight for them anyway, at most Vorden could convince Raten.
Sil was unreliable, so Vorden never went into a fight relying on him.
"So you understand the terms then," Quinn said. "We will be waiting just on the other side of that door and if anything happens to her we will..."
"I know," Fex said with a yawn. "I already gave you my word, didn’t I? You should already know a Vampire’s word is sacred; it’s not something that can easily be broken."
"And about the ghoul problem, you promise you’ll help us straight after right?" Quinn asked.
"I already have it sorted," Fex said confidently.
"Just a fair warning, she knows what you are, so she will be cautious," Quinn replied.
"Looks like your breaking rules all over the place," Fex said. "I guess it isn’t a problem if you plan to turn her eventually."
Fex had never seen a vampire break all the rules so casually, there was only one person who was as daring as him and that was Fex himself. Most vampires were boring and strict, very traditional in the sense and had been for so many years, it was why Fex yearned to go to the human world. The more he was finding out about Quinn the more his interest grew. But with his position, he could get away with a few things here or there, while Quinn he had never seen him before, he felt like the more he stayed around this guy perhaps interesting events would start to unfold.
Quinn had done everything he could, but it was still hard for him to trust Fex. Even the system didn’t seem to have a solution to the current problem, so he just wondered what Fex had that they didn’t.
As soon as she opened the door, Erin was ready to head out in his place.
"Erin, please remember the plan?" Layla said.
Erin nodded and then headed straight out as the other three watched from behind the door.
At first, Erin walked slowly, but as she got closer and closer towards Fex, she started to walk faster. The closer she got to him the more annoyed she was at seeing his face.
"Oh the beautiful Goldilocks has finally come out, I have a proposal for you," Fex said.
But suddenly the walking turned into a jog, after hearing Fex’s voice the anger inside her only got worse and then finally, she had enough and pulled out her sword. "I thought I had already warned you, if you were to mention what you saw in the library I would teach you a lesson!" She shouted.
"Looks like she isn’t sticking to the plan!" Layla said.
"The library, have these two met before?" Peter asked.
"It seems like there might be a bit of tension between the two that we didn’t know about before," Quinn added.
