DEATHS THIRST #3

Sinov waved goodbye to Xinvex, his smile still bright even as the shadow of Xinvex's chilling warning hung in the air. "Bye-bye!" he called out, his voice a cheerful melody that seemed out of place in the gloomy atmosphere of the Bloodmoon Academy.

Xinvex merely grunted in response, a flicker of disdain in his eyes as he turned and walked toward the sprawling parking lot. He spotted his mother's sleek black sedan parked near the edge, its tinted windows reflecting the shadows of the gothic architecture that surrounded them.

Xinvex slid into the passenger seat as his mother, a woman with piercing blue eyes and a sharp jawline that hinted at a lifetime of ambition, started the engine. The engine purred, a low growl that seemed to mirror the restless energy coursing through Xinvex's veins.

"Who was that?" his mother asked, her voice cool and sharp.

"He's my classmate," Xinvex replied, his gaze fixed on the dark cityscape outside the window.

"I thought we said no making friends for this mission?" his mother said, her voice a low, warning growl.

"There's no way he's a threat, he can barely defend himself," Xinvex said, crossing his arms. His words were laced with a dangerous arrogance, a sense of superiority that was ingrained in his Nighthaunt blood.

"If I noticed anything suspicious, I'll just leave," Xinvex added, his eyes now fixed on the reflection of his own face in the tinted window.

"If he distracts you from your mission, you'll know," his mother warned.

"On top of that, he's an Eclipsar, if you hurt him the whole school would know," his mother said, slamming on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt.

"Wasn't my mission just to kill Iskander?" Xinvex asked, his voice edged with a hint of frustration.

"We still haven't received any news about Iskander's disguise," his mother said, stepping out of the car, her footsteps echoing on the pavement.

"Oh yeah, apparently there's another person after you, so watch your back," his mother warned him, her gaze sharp and unwavering.

"Currently, we aren't able to find out any more information," his mother said, her voice a low murmur.

"Be careful, don't leak any information to anyone," his mother warned, her voice stern and resolute.

"I won't, I'm going outside for a bit," Xinvex said, stepping out of the car, the air thick with the scent of sulfur and ozone.

"No smoking, no drinking, or snorting!" his mother called out after him.

"No promises," Xinvex replied with a smirk, heading towards the door.

"Or pregnancies!" his mother yelled, her voice filled with a mixture of exasperation and amusement.

Xinvex turned back, his eyes meeting his mother's, a mischievous glint in them. "Don't worry, I'm too busy focusing on my mission," he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He turned and walked away, disappearing into the shadows, leaving his mother standing alone in the fading light. The silence was broken only by the distant howl of a wolf, a haunting melody that echoed through the night.
