Twila didn’t look up from her book as a student sat to her right, having little care for their current partner assignment. Everyone in the Academy knew of Twila’s refusal to work in pairs. Twila was sure this student would run off sometime soon. She turned a page. Being a vampire, she hadn’t ever tried to bother with her peers. Everyone was afraid of vampires at the Academy of Mythology. Most vampires ran together, but Twila didn’t exactly have a ‘group’. She preferred solitude. Well, it wasn’t that she preferred it, but it was what she’d been given. After all, who was she if not a bloodthirsty killer? The student had yet to leave. “Are you lost?” She finally asked, her ruby colored eyes still casted downwards.
