masterlist next

"AMBER! WHERE ARE YOU?! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

Y/n yelled into her phone as she hastily put on her shoes.

"I'm coming! AND STOP YELLING! You're gonna damage my eardrum. Archons, I don't know you can be so loud."

As Amber finished whining, Y/n slung her bookbag over her shoulder and quickly left her apartment and ran to the elevator.

" Oh my Archons, wrong day to ask Amber for a ride."

As the elevator went from the 3rd floor to the first, Y/n anxiously tapped her fingers on her arm. ' First bio lab this year, and I'm going to be late! '

The elevator made an audible Ding! as its doors slid open, and Y/n checked the time on her wrist. " 14 minutes?!" Bidding the doorman a quick goodbye, she exited her apartment building and ran towards Amber's car. Hopping in the van, she shoved her friend.

"I wish I could strangle you right now. HURRY! We're both going to be late! I STILL cannot believe how YOU'RE going to be a doctor, Amber."

Amber pulled out of the parking lot, and laughed. " I'm only doing it because you are! I'm surprised I made it this far."

Y/n rolled her eyes and turned on the radio.

"You're not the only one that's surprised.

Y/n and Amber ran into the laboratory, quickly heading to your station. " Y'know, I'm kinda glad Professor Gunnhildr is late!" Amber comments as both girls put on safety equipment. " Yeah, That is quite strange, do you think the lab is cancelled?"

Y/n and Amber sit down while throwing theories at each other.

" To be honest I hope she doesn't come because you'll have to carry the lab. Y/n" said girl sighed and rubbed her forehead " I always do."

"Anyways-- WHO IS THAT!?"

Y/n turn to where Amber is pointing.

"Oh!"

Y/n would not exaggerate if she said the man in front of the class was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

" Do you think he's new to this class? Do you think I can pull him? My god, he is FINE! Should I ask for his number?"

"Amber, I thought you liked women."

"TECHNICALLY! I'm bi, but no man has ever wooed me, UNTIL NOW!"

As the Green-haired man looked over the class, He made eye contact with Y/n. He smiled, yellow eyes twinkling. "Did you see that?! Oh my Archons, Y/n I think he wants me."

Y/n flicked Amber's forehead " Stop being delusional, he just smiled at us." Looking back at the man, she noticed he sat his tote on the Professor's desk. "Oh! he's our professor! Is he subbing for Gunnhildr? Damn, I thought the class was cancelled."

The professor Claps his hands, getting the attention of students.

" Good Afternoon. Now, you must be wondering, 'Who is he? Where is the professor?' Well, I have come to inform you That Professor Gunnhildr injured herself on campus, and is on paid leave until she fully recovers. I'm Professor Baizhu, and it's a pleasure to meet you all. I am quite excited for this semester."

Professor Baizhu steps out from behind the desk and walks around.

" I may be young for a professor, but I promise that you will be educated like Gunnhildr intended, and I must add that I was a doctor; just like how you are learning to be one now. "

He looked across the room, his eyes landing on Y/n.

" Now, I believe we have a lab to complete. "

After eating lunch ( and watching Amber flirt with Sara ) Ningguang dropped you back off at Tevyat University. By saying goodbyes to your friends, you prepare yourself for the final class of the day.

"I hate chemistry!"

Y/n groaned in annoyance. 'Maybe I should get a driver's license...' Walking up to the bike, she quickly unlocks it from the cubby and pulls it out. Not wanting to over-exert herself at a late time, Y/n decided to walk a little before hopping on her bicycle.

Right when she exited campus, Y/n started biking. Shivering from the cool air on her exposed skin, She makes a quick decision to give up biking, and just walk the way home.

PSH!

Y/n paused. There was a sound of air squealing, and the young woman looked down. "No!" Y/n watched as her front tire deflated. Quickly wheeling the bike over to a brick wall, she turns it on its side.

Feeling around on the tire, Y/n then pulls something out of the tire. "...A tack..?" As she stands up to bring the bicycle upright, a male voice cuts through the quietness of the night.

"Need help, Miss?"

"Ah! No, thank you I-"

Y/n freezes as she felt something cold and sharp press against her neck.

"I think you need help."

"O-okay. Please don't hurt me."

The man ushers her into the alleyway.

"Do you want money? I'll give you my wallet. Please, don't hurt me."

Y/n shakes as she waits for a response, but the man stayed silent.

"-Guys! Can we get something to eat before we go drinking? I haven't eaten since 10 am!"

This was it. Y/n's chance to be saved.

"H-"

Y/n stopped. bringing a hand to her throat, she felt blood pour from it. She weakly pushed off her attacker and fell to the ground. Wheezing, she started to crawl away, one hand covering her injury.

"h-he..lp"

The man watches for a moment, before grabbing her leg to pull her deeper into the alley. He roughly turns her on her back, causing Y/n to cough. As he looks at her, he sees the pleading in her eyes, the pain in her eyes.

"Don't worry." The man pauses, adjusting the gloves on his hands

He grabs the bloodied knife from the gravel and lifts it above his head.

Y/n gasps, her body shooting out of her bed. Taking quick breaths, she wipes the sweat from her forehead. " A bad dream..?" She ponders for a moment, but then her memories return to her.

Tumbling out of bed, she clumsily makes it to her bathroom. Turning on the light, she looks at herself in the mirror. Analyzing her disheveled appearance, she touches her throat.

"But...."

Y/n sinks to the floor, the tile cooling her hot skin.
