Meeting A Partner In Crime

"I'm glad you asked! Besides the electric chair, I have my man eating plant, Fluffy-he's the greatest man eating plant every-, a guillotine, and an authentic replica of the machine from the Princess Bride. And a few other secrets."

A man eating plant? Guillotine? Oh, Cordelia just couldn't wait. Teaching kids like this was going to be an absolute joy. At first, she had found it only a way to get money without stealing, but now... it was just going to be wonderfully great. Cailie seemed like a fun person, especially with all these toys in her room. The twenty year old couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime. "Oh, my. I'm surprised Maria allows you to have those things in your room, but I'm absolutely glad she does. Ha, I can't wait to see what happens when kids get in trouble."

"That's better. Basically since I was fifteen-half of my life. What about you?"

"It'll be a year in the summer," the widow answered. So Cailie was around thirty? Ten years older than herself. Meh, not like it mattered. Age was pretty much just a number to the dark-eyed woman; especially when one is immortal. "How long have you been teaching?"

"The electric chair: electricity. The guillotine: dissection. The Princess Bride device: energy. The man eating plant: Besides being a great aide, it's useful for studying plants."

Cordelia returned the evil smirk. It was amazing how she had actually come up with scientific uses for such machines. "Oh, I see. Hehehe." The woman couldn't wait until classes started. Everything was just going to be amazingly fun.

"... How long have you been coming here?"

"Since September," the vampire answered. "Not long, but whatever." She shrugged. "Is your room set up yet? If it isn't, I'd be glad to help you."

Cordelia nodded. She took her notebook back and hopped off of the heater, walking over to the desk where her trench coat lay and picking it up. She held it over her arm and exited the room, holding the door open for Cailie. "So what room number are we in? I know it's on the first floor, but yeah, don't exactly know which room it is."

Cordelia laughed. "Indeed," she said. Upon reaching room number thirteen, the woman opened the door and stepped inside the room. "Alright, so where is everything so we can unpack?" she asked.

Oh, yay, she got to meet Cailie's plant now! Cordelia followed the woman to where Fluffy was and smiled. "Aw, he's just precious!" she said, walking closer. "Is it safe to pet him?" Cailie was petting the plant, but Cordelia wasn't sure if anyone else could. After all, it was man eating.
