By moonlight's shadow

Chapter 49

“Good evening Snow, how are you feeling now?” asked Doc Lillian as she got up from her chair and went towards the bed of her patient who had been sleeping like a log till the dead of evening, missing all the classes and everything which had been scheduled for her detention. Raphael had specifically instructed her to be kept away from the infirmary where both the Patrick brother and sister duo were convalescing from the recent injuries that they had sustained at the hands of Snow White.

“Doctor!! What are you doing here? And what time is it? Oh dear!!! I am late for every thing…I have to go and see the headmaster now,” said Snow and then bit her lips down but Akira came and sat beside her on her bed and placed a hand on her thigh. Snow looked at her with question on her face.

“What has happened will anyone tell me?” asked Snow, this time her voice higher than usual and Sonata yawned before her before speaking.

“You went absolutely cuckoo mama yesterday afternoon,” said Sonata as she yawned once more.

Lillian glared at Sonata for talking in such terms but then again teenage girls were always above reproach and she knew that from her own human experience. But before she could say anything Snow reacted like Sonata wanted her to.

“I went what?” asked Snow and this time she was close to getting hysterical. The doctor knew that this time she could not allow the girls to behave like this with the girl who was already vulnerable from the attacks of magic last day.

“Snow, you need to calm down. Something happened to you yesterday and you are still not strong enough to get up from the bed. You need to rest while I shall check upon you every two hours. I shall see what medicines will be suitable for you and both of you, remember that you are supposed to take care of her and not make her further angry in any way or get her to behave in a hyper manner. If you do then you do know that the Headmaster who is already so much angry will not spare any of you,” said Lillian with her eyes narrowing at them at the proper words meaningfully.

Sonata said,” I am going to try and not get her hyper but if she hears what all she has done I doubt that is not happening.”

“Then don’t talk. Or I am going to give morphine to every single one of your blood bags and force-feed them to you. Do you get my point?” asked Lillian as Akira nodded with her small eyes narrowing in fear and Sonata yawning again and nodding her head in assent slightly. Lillian looked at all of them with narrowed eyes and then smiled at Snow.

“Take rest Snow. I shall be back in a couple of hours when you are feeling better with the medicine, alright? And if you feel any discomfort just get someone to call me, okay?” prompted Lillian and Snow nodded at her like the good girl that she was.

Lillian left the room and Snow found that the door to her room had been broken in half and it was still like that.

“Who did that from the door?” asked Snow, her voice as cold as ice.

“I did,” said Sonata, looking back at her.

“What is it that you have with my door, huh? Every single time you come you break open my door Sonata? Every single time? There is a door knob with a handle which can easily let you inside and I did not even lock my door last night then what did instigate you to break down my door?? And while you are talking, take out the tool box and get to work. And fix that door. And next time remember that you have to fix the door before breaking it down,” said Snow as she glared at Sonata.

“You are an absolute spoil-sport Snow White. We are the vampires and that too the young vampirelings, we are supposed to be destructive and not be constructive while look at you…you are giving a bad name to our entire clan,” said Sonata as she stood up and opened the armoire in her room. She was saying that just to spite Snow but Sonata also knew that breaking open the door and opening it by getting her hand on the door knob would have taken the same time but she could not control her basic instincts.

“When you cannot control your basic instincts then you are not fir or capable enough to be called a part of the superior race,” said Snow, looking at Sonata who snapped back and looked at her in shock.

“What?” asked Snow as Akira looked at them perplexed not understanding what just happened and Sonata was shocked because she knew that she had not spoken a single word, rather only thought them in her mind.

“What did you say Snow?” asked Sonata as she dropped the tool-box with a clang on the floor and rushed to her bedside.

“I only replied  to what you said. Tell her Akira,” said Snow as she looked at her Asian friend whose face looked even more perplexed and in confusion than before.

“No Snow, Sonata did not say anything after saying that you are giving a bad name to our entire clan. I did not hear her speaking. What did you hear?” asked Akira as Sonata looked at Snow with an odd expression.

“Could you hear what I spoke in my mind?” she asked and Snow looked at her with a scowl.

“What do you take me for? An i***t or what? What are all these things that you are saying that I can hear the thoughts in your mind?” asked Snow as Sonata glared back at her.

“Well there is no other explanation for you to be replying to a word or a sentence which I did not utter,” said Sonata and Snow was going to say something in retaliation but Akira stopped both of them from speaking.

“Well this is a simple experiment and we are going to do this, alright? Sonata is saying that she did not speak and still Snow replied to her words being able to hear her thoughts while Snow is telling otherwise. So we can test this once again in a simple manner,” said Akira as she pulled out the mobile from the pocket of her skirt and then took out the recording app on the screen.

“So Snow will close her eyes and try hearing anything spoken by any one of us and reply to it. This recorder will be recording everything which will prove if we are speaking or not. Alright? Ready?” asked Akira as her finger paused on the button which would start the recording.

Snow looked at her saying,” Is it really necessary to do all these things?”

“What would you rather do Snow? We have been ordered to take care of you and you are supposed to take rest. I think this is the best way in which we can spend our time locked in your room, or rather, might I say unlocked in your room?” said Akira, as she giggled and Snow again glared at Sonata.

“Alright,” conceded Snow as she closed her eyes and Sonata immediately put a blind-fold on her. Snow protested saying something but then she kept quiet since both of her friends were not talking and she did not want to be the freak more than she already was. She focused her concentration on both of them breaking it into two separate streams and the waited.

“Snow kissing up Headmaster King was absolutely hot…” heard Snow and it was Akira’s voice.

“I did not kiss Headmaster King Akira. I would not do that in a million years,” protested Snow loudly.

“And the look on her Grandmother’s face when she said that she was an old hag with her brain stuck in her panties or her arse was even better,” and this one belonged to Sonata.

“What the f**k Sonata? Why would I even think of saying something like that to my Grandmother? You both are the worst liars in the entire world,” screamed Snow as she opened her blindfold and found both of them smiling at her. The recording button was switched off and the file was saved. Snow looked at them and then she said,” What happened? Play it!!”

Akira played the recording and all Snow could hear was two sentences and both were her own voice.

“How in the name of the seven heavens is this possible that I can hear your thoughts?” asked Snow, her own voice sounded strange and the words sounded even stranger to her own ears.

“That is something we were thinking that you can tell us…when did this exactly happen Snow?” asked Sonata with her eyes narrowed at her friend who was looking perplexed at her own oddity.

“I don’t know anything about this girls, you have to really trust me. I knew nothing about this,” said Snow as her voice broke.

“Sonata, fix that damn door you girl. What do you think that this kind of things should be discussed in a room whose door is broken? And Snow, don’t worry, we absolutely believe you,” said Akira as Sonata grudgingly went up to the door and started fixing the part where the lock had been broken. Strangely enough she did not have to repair it. There was a brand new wooden door enforced with iron was standing outside her room and Sonata picked it up. It was heavier than the usual doors but then again that weight was nothing at all to her. She placed the door on its hinges after breaking away the old broken one with a few kicks and punches. She received glares from both the girls inside the room but that did not deter her from kicking it anyway.

“What is the use? It is going to the trash anyway!!!” said Sonata as she started fixing the new door with her vampiric speed and it was all over in a matter of few minutes. Finally they could lock the door and sit down on the bed peacefully as Snow placed her face in her hands and hid it.

“What did I do girls? What on earth did I do? I kissed the Headmaster and made out with him in front of everybody and then abused my grandmother!!! How am I supposed to show my face to anyone?” asked Snow, rather wailed out with genuine anguish.

“Well considering that your Grandmother has left the premises as soon as nightfall, I mean dusk it must be because of what you had done. The look on Headmaster’s face when you jumped and leapt in his arms and started kissing him and then unbuttoning his shirt…oh dear lord… that was one of the hottest things I have ever seen in this droll Academy. And trust me, The Headmaster was in anguish…I mean…girl, you are already hot and the way you made out and those kisses with nips…If I were in your place heaven knows what would have happened. You grandmother growled a number of times at him but then you said your famous words to her. And that was anything at all but funny,” said Sonata as she could not control her laughter as Snow wailed once more.

‘This is not at all funny..I am behaving like an absolute desperate bimbo which I am not,’ said Snow as she looked up and found that Raphael was standing there opening the door.
