The library, like always was dead quiet. It was usually empty and it's dim lightning and quiet atmosphere did little to make the students feel safe.

But Arthur was one of the students to visit the library. He liked the quiet and peace and the fact he was alone.

There was only ever one other student he sow here. A freshman who was here because he wanted to hide away from some bullies. Arthur talked to him once or twice, not wanting to make the student lonely.

The Brit would sit with him on the floor in one of the far off corners of the room. He and him exchanged small talk until the bell rung and they parted ways.

Though Arthur didn't get to talk with him long, he moved away two months after starting.

Arthur walked over to the bookshelve where he got his book from and placed it back. He had to move up on his toes because he couldn't reach the shelve. He cursed under his breath at the height.

"Do you need help?" Arthur jumped and turned around. A male student, one he never seen before. Dirty blond hair with deep brown eyes. He smiled warmly at Arthur. The Brit swallowed and moved back, something about this student made him feel cold.

"No. I'm fine." Arthur felt that he need to get away from the student. Something about him made Arthur feel sick. Arthur made a swift exit but his upper are was grabbed the moment he moved. He gasped when he was shoved hard against the book shelve.

"Now babe, why you runnin' away so fast? In not going to hurt you." The other man purred and his other hand grabbed Arthur's chin and moved his head to the side. "You smell good." He said quietly against Arthur’s neck. He shivered and tried to push and kick the student away but found it surprisingly hard, his grip on Arthur was strong, not humanly strong.

He heard the dark haired student hum in approval before he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

He bit him.
