Innocence with the Privileged

Dolores came back to the dorm, drenched in blood and sweat, she wanted to take a shower so badly, that she didn't notice Raiin walking by her and gasping at what she saw.

"The fuck happened to you?" Raiin asked, concerned and worried, Dolores was bad with words and didn't know how to justify herself, she didn't expect anyone to be up at this time, 3 am, so she didn't arrange for an excuse, luckily for her, Raiin came up with an excuse herself.

"Is that trend where you put red paint all over you and pretend like you killed someone?" Raiin saw a trend going on, on the internet, where people would paint their clothes red and pretend to have killed their friends, it was really cool, but Dolores looked...too much, just too much redness and she smelt weird, she must have put too much paint on herself, poor girl.

"Yes?" Dolores smiled awkwardly and hoped that Raiin would buy into the excuse she came up with on her own.

"I wanted to do that so bad!! But my sisters won't let me, they said it's not ladylike and it will be bad for my reputation." Raiin mimicked her sister's stern voice, when she said that she couldn't kill someone and paint their blood on her body just for a trend, she could do it with red paint but not blood, but Raiin didn't want that, what's the fun in it if it's not real blood?

"Well, I don't have anyone to tell what I can and I can't do." Dolores said, with a sad smile, slightly envying Raiin for having someone who cared for her and her reputation, nobody did for her, her reputation was in the mud and nothing was going to get it out of there anytime soon.

"So cool! I want to be like you." Raiin said, looking at Dolores with sparkling eyes, thinking of the latter as the coolest person she had met so far.

"Trust me, you don't." Dolores said as she put her only clean hand on Raiin's head and walked away, smiling at the innocence of the girl, she hoped she could be but will never be. Her past already defined her future, and she cannot change it, her bloody hands will never be clean and she won't let them be, because this was the life she chose and this was the life she was going to have, it was the only way she could survive.

Raiin looked at Dolores and wondered why she smelt of blood, it was a bit masked, but as a demon, blood was like an aphrodisiac, just a faint of it and she would go rogue, without the proper self-control, so how was Dolores walking normally when she has blood on her? Did it get mixed up with the paint by accident?

"It's too late at night to be using my brain." Raiin yawned and then went back to looking for the black cat, she came out of her room for, that cat was special, it had red and blue eyes and a white spot on her chest, which meant it was her brother's cat, but what was it doing here? He couldn't have sent her to spy on her, right? He isn't THAT controlling, she would hope.

Raiin looked for the cat for a few more minutes, she was getting more tired by the second, her eyelids were getting heavy and she couldn't see clearly anymore, so much so that she bumped into someone, who was as sleepy as she was, it was Emily.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking ahead." Raiin said and helped the person get up, she made them fall by the impact, they must be human if they are that weak.

"Thank you, I wasn't looking either, I am really sleepy, I just came out to fetch water." Emily said with a sleepy smile and almost closed eyes.

"You don't have any in your room?" Raiin asked curiously since every student has to have a bottle of water in their room, so they couldn't roam around at night and get themselves in danger, especially humans, who can be eaten in a second, like her, she fell just by accidentally being pushed, imagine if someone attacked her? They would swallow her in one gulp.

"No, I gave it all to a passing cat." Emily had a bad habit of caring about animals, more than caring about herself, so when a cat landed on her window and started to meow, she brought out food and water for the cat, not caring that the food was her dinner and that the water was all she had to fill her thirst till the morning. And when the cat left, she went to bed, hoping that she would be able to sleep with an empty stomach and a sore throat, she couldn't and had to go, look for something to fill her stomach with.

"What did the cat look like?" Raiin was now suspicious, no cats roamed around this place, it was the Devildom, any cat who wandered around here would get eaten in a second, with no bones left. So the fact that the cat was in the girl's room, eating food, and then walking around the hallways, only meant that it was a person in a cat's body.

"Black with nice eyes." Emily described the cat, with the way she saw it, because the cat didn't eat when she was in the room, so she had to leave to let it eat, she only saw it for a few seconds.

"Where did it go?" Now Raiin was sure this was her brother's cat, his most loyal servant, who was her childhood friend, Jun.

"To the big tree outside." Emily pointed to the tree outside of the window, where the cat jumped as soon as it finished its food and water.

"Thank you!" Raiin thanked her with a bright smile and jumped out of the window, to catch up to Jun.
