Sylvia's POV:
I ran all the way out of the dormitory. The wind and my breathing intertwined and passed by my ears. As the cold wind blew on my face, I felt the pain. But I didn't have time to care about it because the pain in my heart was even worse. It was as if my whole heart was being fried.
I liked Rufus, and he was the only one who occupied my heart. But I had actually forgotten such an important thing as the full moon.
Rufus must be in so much pain now. And thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to cry. I hated myself because there was nothing I could do to help him.
When I arrived at the school gate, I was stopped by the same guards who stopped me yesterday.
They blocked the gate, wearing straight faces. "Why are you here again?"
"Please let me pass. I really have something important to do today." After saying this, I anxiously looked at the full moon in the sky, wondering how Rufus was doing now.
"You also said the same last night." One of the men wearing green stripes uniform seemed to be their leader. He walked up to me with a serious face and said, "No matter how important it is, no one is allowed to enter or leave the academy after the curfew."
"Just this once, please. It's really a matter of life and death." As I spoke, I passed through the gap between them. No matter what, I must see Rufus tonight.
But after taking just a few steps, the leader of the guards grabbed me and pulled me to the other side. "If I say you can't go out, you can't go out. Go back to your room and have a good sleep. You can go out after five o'clock tomorrow."
"No, tomorrow will be too late." I was grief-stricken. Every minute and second passed was torture for me. How could I wait until five o'clock tomorrow?
The guards looked impatient. Obviously, they didn't want to listen to me anymore. The leader waved his hand and said, "Go! You can't go out. If you insist, don't blame us for being rude to you."
I was so anxious that I pushed him away and tried to break out. "You can do whatever you want to do to me when I come back. But I really have to go right now."
"Believe it or not, you will be expelled from the academy," the leader of the guards snarled. Then several guards rushed up to stop me.
