The eighteen year old watched absentmindedly from the top floor of Pinkley Hall’s gym as students with backpacks and luggage walked towards the campus entrance. Winter break was officially here and few remained on campus during that time. As an RA and international student, Sophomore, Cian Vain was one of the few. After his parents were killed the summer of his freshman year, he found that he no longer had a desire to return to South Korea. Not when his town considered him to be both a monster and his parent’s perpetrator.
You see, Cian discovered in a rather conspicuous way that he was more than human when he stopped a car from colliding with him mid-motion when he was sixteen. His parents tried to label it a miracle, and act of God, but even they didn’t look at him the same way. Coupled with his korean lineage being “tainted” with the blood of his pale eyed, Irish mother, and his status as an outcast was solidified.
Cian could understand why the town placed their murders on his head. He had been the one to find their dismembered bodies when he returned home from school, completely torn to pieces in ways he’d never seen in his life. Nothing in the human world was capable of this. Cian broke down for two hours, his mind destroying various objects throughout the house, before someone called authorities due to the commotion. There was no way authorities could pin it on him as his parents were dead long before he returned home but it didn’t stop them from trying due the the rumors around town. If he was honest with himself, it all left him emotionally stunted.
It was a wonder that the university made him an RA, but then again, a smile and punctuality will get you far. All things considered, he actually wasn’t bad at the job. He knew when to look the other way and when to step in. He was on good terms with most but he knew he rubbed a few the wrong way in terms of rule enforcement. Coursework was easy enough to complete so the extra duties didn’t eat too much into his time and the two clubs he was a part of fulfilled any leadership requirements. One of which was a ruse to lure any like him to the group.
“Finally some peace and quiet.” His low voice was quiet in the empty room as he turned the treadmill off with his mind and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his face and neck.
Cian made his way towards the men’s showers, already removing his shirt in anticipation of the cool water hitting his heated body. Light blue eyes quickly scanned the locker room and found it seemingly empty. He made quick work undressing and walked slowly to a shower stall, his mind already on the mental training he would need to do in the forest preserve next to his dorm room. Cian didn’t knew another like him and until he did, training would happen on his own. After what happened with his parents, he wanted to be prepared in any way possible.
