Chapter 76 - Time we talk

Inside the campus library

"Haaaaaaaaa." Cassandra let out a long sigh inisde a dark room in the back of the library. Her eyes closed, with her back resting against a large beanbag.

And wondered if she gave him the wrong impression, since she's been avoiding him since last night. 'God he definitely hates me.' She thought and hugged her knees.

Cassandra has always seemed to never know the correct things to say when it mattered. "God and where was all that 'We'll treat you the same no matter what' attitude." Her tone was low as she drowned inher own self pity.

Cassandra opened her eyes and instead of a dark surface. She met starry pink eyes and a seductive and cheecky smile. "Hay there beautiful, why the long face?" Astra asked qhile floating above Cassandra's head in an upside-down position.

Cassandra would have reacting with hostility... normally but now she was tired. "I think I broke the heart of the man I love, and I need advice on how to fix it. Any ideas?"

Lazarus and lason stood on the roof staring down the golden haired knight infront of them. Gideon heard that Lazarus had returned to campus after the whole scandal with Maxwell. So he came to find out if that was true and safe to say he found out.

"Gid what are you doing here." Lason asked with one arm crossed and the other holding his drink.

"I came to see if the rumors about him coming back were true and safe to say, it was tru-" before another word could leave his lips the shadows around his body tightened.

Gideon tried to use his divine energy to destroy the shadow bindings, but it seemed as if he was getting weaker.

"Don't bother, I can already tell what your trying to do and also tell your archer that if he doesn't stop aiming for my head your dead." Lazarus spoke his voice calm as he stared at Gideon who was surprised.

The archer was miles away and even of he sense were enhanced beyond belief, newly turned vamps only have a range of 20 meters.

Lazarus was pretty much telling him he not only could tell that there was an archer aimed at his head without even looking but also knew the exact distance.

Gideon didn't take the risk and immediately performed a finger gesture to signal them to lower the bow.

Lason and Lazarus immediately sense the hostile intent was gone and he released Gideon.

"Wow! Talk about impressive!" He said clapping his hands together. "When i saw Ragnar's condition I actually thought you won using you friendship with him, but I can see you actually have power and skill.

"What do you want?" Lazarus spoke. Short, and simple as he turned his back to Gideon who stood back up.

"I'd like to request a fight against you?" He spoke holding his side.

"So you sneak around us, have a snipers ready incase you were found and still..." he paused, rubbing the bridge of his nose and exhaled through his nose.

"Woah!" I wasn't going to sneak you or anything like that, unlike Maxwell I actually have a code that even I won't cross." He said as his blue eyes met Lason's violet ones.

"You can see he's not interested little knight." Lason finished by placing his hand on Lazarus body.

"Look man go to her and talk and if you need to know where to find her, go to the library. Just don't tell her you got that information from me. She'll kick my ass if she finds out and I don't knoe about you, but I'd rather not have a purple flash beating my ass." He said as he hugged himself, and a shiver ran down his spine.

"Lazarus laughed as he tapped his friend on the back. "Thanks." And don't worry I'll try not to tell her who gave her location up." He finished as he began ti sink into the shadow and disappeared leaving Lason with Gideon and the sniper.

"Wow he left his comrades to deal with the opponents he left behind. I guess it's true what they say keep your friends close and you-"

Immediately Gideon felt the air in the space to go down. "Watch what you say blondie." Lason finished as his powers began to activate and gis tattoos become more vibrant.

Lazarus appeared inside one of the dark corners of the library. He used the shadows to looked for Cass and immediately was able to see her soul. A purple souls which seemed to have been made from purle flames and lightning, but something else drew his attention as he saw another soul across from her and he was able to recognize who it was.

"Why is she hear?"

"Cassie baby. Can I call you that?" Astra asked with a smile as she summoned 2 tea cups for both of them.

"Haaa, whatever Astra, but what are you doing here?" She asked, taking the tea cup which was offered.

"What? Can't I check up on a friend?"

Cassandra looked up at her. "Since when were we friends."

"Ohh!" Astra made a shocked sound and made an o-shape with her mouth. "After everything we've been through together, I even invited you to my home and let you guys rest there."

"....touche." Cassandra said as she lay back in the beanbag.

She stared at Astra who was staring out of the door way with a smile on her face.

"Something got your attention?" She spoke with an eyebrow raised.

"Well... really depends if he wants to stop hiding and come out." She said half jokingly and Cassandra immediately got up to her feet.

"Who's there?" One of her daggers was pulled out with faint sparks coming off them.

Before she could move she felt strong arms wrap around her. "Miss me?"

Lazarus said as he placed his head her neck and placed a kiss on her neck.

She recognized the faint trace od sadness and he pulled her back to onto the beanbag. "I think we should talk."
