Gradually, Sophia's eyelids began to flutter open as if they were little butterflies and soon her vision became bright once again. She felt her head was heavy and her body was sore from all corners.
As she lifted her head up, she touched her head gently and looked at her body to see how her wounds were and if they had completely healed.
'Where am I..?' She thought, bewildered and unable to make sense of how she fainted at the same time, like a chain reaction Emelia was also experiencing the same feeling, with both girls awake realization soon dawned done on them.
They not only remembered everything that had occurred before they lost consciousness but they also recalled everything to the very last minute as well!
In the meantime Bernard was in the clinic when he heard someone rush inside the room with extreme haste, the person seemed like he was going around asking about someone or something from the way Jane sounded directive, after which Bernard heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, is Bernard over here?" A voice could be heard coming from the entrance.
'Ryan's here? Did he hear about Sophia getting into a fight or something?' Bernard thought to himself, immediately after he stood leaving Sophia, and went to see why Ryan was there.
"Phew, Man, have you seen Sophia? I heard she was in a fight earlier. Quick let us go look for her she might be in danger." He said a bit panicked and concerned, Bernard gestured for him to calm down a bit after which he carefully looked around before pulling Ryan out of the infirmary room to somewhere else.
Ryan stared at him with a confused expression, although he had no idea why Bernard had dragged him over, just from looking at his expression for some reason he noticed Bernard looked relaxed that it would seemed like he wasn't at all concerned or worried however he doubted it was that simple since he knew how close they were.
Bernard looked at Ryan before he decided to speak it was important to let him know she was completely fine and that she was also receiving treatment inside the clinic, making him understand the reason he was there in the first place.
Although there was probably not much to say about what happened or her state of health since she was a symbiote user, Bernard thought it would be best to still let him know how she was faring at the infirmary.
"Phew, Thank God you saw her yourself, if not those fucking bastard might have done something to her if they had caught her instead."
The two of them talked for a while longer, with Bernard either avoiding bringing up any related topic relating to Emelia or not mentioning her at all when talking since he didn't want him to know about the incident that occurred earlier. The problem on his plate was already troublesome as it was Bernard didn't want to worsen it than it already was by letting another person know.
It was important for Bernard to hide anything relating to the matter as much as he could, lest he would wake up one morning and realize the whole academy knew he was a vampire, while it would seem like it was nothing it meant his secret was no longer a secret but a piece of public news what's worse he dreaded what the academy would do to him at that point.
When the two of them were done talking, Ryan bid him a farewell since Sophia was okay and Emelia was at God knows where he thought there was no need to linger around and left leaving Bernard with a conflicted expression.
Meanwhile, Sophia and Emelia were already awake with images of what had happened earlier bouncing before their eyes like a flash track, at this moment they were reacting to the images in their heads.
In comparison to what Sophia was experiencing, Emelia was the polar opposite of whatever her body had experienced before she lost consciousness and felt a bit dreamy at first she had thought Bernard was going to kiss her, but all of a sudden he went straight for her neck instead of her lips, thinking about this seem to bring a very weird feeling as her face flushed red it made goosebumps appear all over body with a tingling effect.
It wasn't what she was expecting, however, it seemed to have had the same effect, but was a bit thrilling and more addictive. At that moment she could feel something was rising up and then coursing through her whole body, Emelia tensed up when she recall what happened even her face was no exception it was already flushing red faster than she had thought.
While she was still thinking she suddenly thought of something and she placed both hands on the sides of her neck, wondering if she would find something there, while she was doing that just then someone walked in making her turn her head over to the visitor.
"Oh great, you're finally awake." Jane walked forward with a smile on her face, as she adjusted her glasses backward. "After you were brought unconscious you have been sleeping for quite a while now, I was starting to think something was wrong for a moment."
"Huh, what happened? How did I get here?" Emelia asked innocently staring at Jane in the eyes.
"Hmm, a boy brought you in and dropped you off, he registered as your friend with the name Bernard Cat," Jane said with a smile as she lied through her teeth about Bernard registering his name, she just wanted to see her reaction just like she thought Emelia's face turned a little red when she thought about him.
While this confirmed Jane's hidden thought so was it for Emelia, While she had her guesses earlier now she was fully aware of who had dropped her off.
