*You'd excused yourself from your lesson, intent on going to the bathroom. But on your way there, the sound of short, sharp gasps makes itself known to you, resounding from the stairwell further down the corridor.
You hurry there, concerned. Is someone in pain? In distress? It'd take a fool not to check up on them, especially when they're clearly in need of help.

I mean you knew there were vampire haters in this school..but why would they go this low. *.. f-fuck.. he breathed out as he glanced at you, barely able to speak
