"Are you okay" came a calm voice the voice shook her but that wasn't what got her,the fact that despite their closeness she couldn't see a thing, not his past neither his future.
"Come on, let get you to safety" he said and the next seconds she was off her feet into a strong arms as they went swiftly off" she knew it was a vampire due to the whooshing sound as they ran past people.
There was another explosion and students let out a scream.
The safety underground was down ahead but Alaric took a turn and took her to another passage.
He didn't need a pin to enter the door simply open on command, it was lace with witch spell Isleen felt the sensation of it prickling her skin.
The wall split open like a door and Alaric walk in with her.
The room was like another apartment entirely, it was well organized and well furnished, he dropped her on the nearby couch turning to get a glass of water.
Isleen pulled back on the couch, even if the male had save her there was no saying he wasn't really dangerous.
Adding to the fact that she couldn't read him, it made her curious who he was.
"Here" he place the water on her palm.
Alaric watch her took a sniff of it and it made her Black raven hair cascade down the side of her face lose,
He watch her captivated by her beauty, was the low class always this beautiful, she could be mistaken for royalty even with her cheap fabric for uniform.
"Don't worry it not poison" he said he brought his head closer and motion her hand with the water to his lips.
He place her palm on his Adam apple so she could the gulp of his throat as he drink the water.
Isleen bite her lower lips feeling the smooth skin under her palm bulge.
After he had assure her it was safe, Isleen took a sip to calm her racing mind.
Alaric gaze at her with wonder.
"You are the voice?" He said to her.
"The what??" Isleen asked confused.
"You spoke to me at the ball" he told her.
"What? I __"
"How did you do that?" He asked curiously
Isleen brow was arch in confusion, she divert her eyes to where he stood even if she was unable to see what he looks like, she was sure he wasn't bad looking judging from his voice and smell.
"Am sorry I don't know what you are talking about, you are mistaken" she said.
Alaric relax back on his seat studying her confused face.
"Am not, I can pretty much recognize the voice, it__ enchanting " he told her.
Isleen bite her lips again, seems the prince was mistaken, she don't even know him and spoke to him, when, how? She can't remember such events taking place.
"Am __" she was saying but took a sharp intake the next seconds pulling back.
Alaric had took a swift pace close to her, she felt his breathe splash on her face as he stare into her green eyes.
Isleen blink her eyes not meeting his, truth his she doesn't even know where he was facing and it was frustrating.
"You have pretty eyes, Alaric complemented. You don't smell like a vampire neither do you smell like a werewolf or anything I know what are you?" He asked still invading her space.
She smelt nice very nice he wish he could take a bite but he's not ready to scare her off, after all he has yet to contain his curiosity.
" You seem to know about me, but I don't know who you are?" Isleen asked.
Alaric chuckle and pulled back, he didn't want her feeling threatened.
"I am Justin" he lied placing his hand to cover his eyes as he laid on the couch next to her.
"Justin" she called stretching his name.
"Thank you I am Isleen, I won't ask about your status in the school am better off not knowing" she said sincerely that only brought a vibrating chuckle from Alaric.
"Right, I think you are better off that way" Alaric mutter.
"It unfair" she said .
"What is?" Alaric ask gazing into her lovely face which made him shook within everytime she move her lips.
"Am in a phrase right now I can't see a thing, it would be nice to know how you look like" Isleen said.
Alaric also wish she could have a view of what he look like, he wish to see her approving eyes on him.
"You do, I don't want you going into shock at how good-looking I am" he said.
What a narcissist, Isleen thought.
"I think the commotion has die down, we should step out and see what the situation is." Alaric said tuning in on the sound from outside the room.
His heighten hearing picking up on little noise which didn't sound fearful or a danger sign.
He took Isleen by the hand and lead her outside, they emerge on the hallway of the elite building, Alaric has his hand tightly gripping Isleen.
"Alaric!!" He heard his name he turn to see who it was when all of a sudden he was separated from Isleen by a crowd which had burst out of no way.
Isleen reach her hand out in search of him, her hand grasping the air, Alaric was turned over by the time he tried finding her again she was gone the crowd had cleared out but Isleen was no where in sight.
He turn looking frustrated,he had found her by chance earlier and now she was gone again without a trace.
"Alaric, where the hell did you go man" Calix called rushing over, behind him was Thaddeus and Orlaith.
"We have been searching all over for you weren't in the safety underground too, where did you run off to?" Thaddeus asked looking not so happy.
" What's the situation with the school?" He asked ignoring their questions.
"I heard the wards has been brought back a few damages that can be fixed " Calix said looking around to see the harmonious guards walking about making sure all was in order.
"All students should retreat to their rooms, I repeat all students should retreat to their rooms until official statement have been made , no one should be seen lurking around the school territory, stay in your dorms" the dean announced.
Everyone began dispersing, Alaric turn to look around the hallway again hoping to catch a glimpse of Isleen but she was gone.
★★★
Isleen was dragged away by Giovanna after the female found her friend in the hallway of the elite building looking like a lost puppy.
"Are you okay?" Giovanna asked giving her a nerves calming pill.
"Am not, really it been a while I experienced that, those nerves jerking visions are always messing with my sight.
Isleen said looking up at Giovanna after she had regained her sight.
"I felt bad while in the underground, I knew something like this would take place, what if a bigger danger had happened, you could have lost your life" Giovanna said silently almost breaking down.
"Hey look am fine ain't I am not that easy to catch" Isleen said.
"But still__" she was cut off by Isleen.
"Am fine, we still have good people in the school anyway, someone helped me to a safe place" Isleen said trying to calm the lady.
Giovanna ears perk up, she look at Isleen sweetly forgetting her worries.
"Did I hear that right?" Giovanna said hoping to get the full gist. Isleen shook her head at the girl.
"What am I going to do with you" Isleen said.
