Romulus stood behind a large bush, unseen by the many students sitting around the water. He stood perfectly still, breathing quietly and slowing, his dark eyes the only thing that moved, noticibally white against his dark skin. Soon enough, all the kids had left, the bell was about to ring. Stretching his arms behind his head, he stepped out from behind a bush, only to walk straight into a red haired first year he hadn't noticed before. She was thin, and very short.
"Who are you?" her voice was shy and soft.
He gazed coldly at her, going still as stone.
"This is private property!" squeaked the small girl indignantly.
"Go away" he snapped, ignoring her statement.
"I don't think I will!" said the girl, and a bit of fire flared up on a branch by Romulus's head. He ducked away from it, and sprayed water quickly onto the tree.
"Oh please" he snapped, drawling out his sentence arrogently, "You're what? 12? You can't beat me, so I suggest you step out of the way and forget all about this before I am forced to injure you"
The girl squeaked, then looked like she was drawing up her courage, Romulus could guess the crap that was running through her head, 'school pride' and 'loyalty' he chucked internally, nobody should have to worry about anything but themselves, and this little girl's brave face was about to get her killed.
He was right, a few seconds later, fire flared up on Romulus's shoes, but he quickly put it out. The girl was only a first year, and even if she was a safi, she was new, and unexperienced.
Without giving her a chance to react, he lunged forward and closed his rough hands around her throat, cutting off her air supply so she couldn't even scream. He kicked her, until she stumbled and fell into the lake. She tried to get up, but his foot was already on her neck, pressing her head down in the water. She struggled, thrashing her limbs wildly, but the water wouldn't make any noise as it obeyed him and pushed at the girl's mouth, trying to flow into her lungs. The girl struggled and kicked, reached out and tried to grab his ankles, but he held firm, not even paying attention to what he was doing. His thoughs were in the castle, on Saraiyu, he wanted to rip her, make her pay for every sleepless night, every shred of jealousy, every single ounce of hate he'd ever felt for her. He wanted to make her feel pain, make her hurt like he had.
He realized that the girl had gone still. He reached down and checked her pulse. Nothing. Grabbing her ankles, Romluous dragged the child out of the water, throwing her body onto the sand of the now deserted grounds. With a grimace, her walked on toward the castle, thoughs fixed on his single goal. He was going to tear Saraiyu apart. She deserved it. He was finally pulling up out of the spiralling depression he had been in, he was finally going to get the revenge he had been longing for for years. Every moment in his life had been leading up to this, everything. This was his goal... his life... his vengance.
