~Exciting~

•Y/N: Your Name

•S/C: Skin Color

•M/N: Mother's Name

•F/N: Father's Name

•E/C: Eye Color

A loud gasp escapes Y/N's lips as she shoots up from her mattress in a cold sweat. While panting to catch her breath, the girl pats herself down as if to check if everything was in order on her body. Rays of sunlight shine on her body from the window beside her bed, whose royal blue curtains had been left open, providing a small sense of comfort to the teenager. The night is over now, so the creature will leave her be for the moment. Just to make sure she's awake, Y/N roughly pinches her arm and holds back a whimper upon feeling the pain.

"Ow!" Gently, she rubs the reddened mark that was left behind from the action. Looking around, the teen realizes that she's in her bedroom...not the couch where she had fallen asleep. She gulps nervously while wondering who brought her upstairs, her parents or him. She shudders at the thought, while the hairs on the back of her neck rise.

He's in the room.

Not wanting to stay in her bedroom with the monster, Y/N shakily stands up on the mattress and leaps towards her dresser. Quickly, yet cautiously, she pulls open the drawers, flinching back when she thought something would jump out from them. After seeing she's safe, the girl takes out clothes before slamming the drawers shut. With a pink sweatshirt and blue jeans in hand, the female runs towards the door before racing out into the hall and slamming the door shut behind her.

She stays that way for a moment, her shaking hand on the knob, before she slowly pulls away. Y/N felt...tainted. Though she could not see the monster's fluid on her body, she could still feel his touches lingering on her S/C flesh, and she hates it. She tightly grips her arms before backing away from the door to enter the upstairs bathroom. The room is small with a white, tiled floor and light grey walls.

Above the white toilet is a painting of sunflowers, while the white shower curtain also has a pattern involving the yellow flowers. The curtain is pushed aside to reveal the white bathtub and dark grey, tiled wall. A removable shower head juts out from the wall, and three small shelves are on the wall adjacent to it, full of numerous soaps. Next to the toilet is a sink that has a cabinet under it full of toiletries, while above it, on the wall, is a rectangular mirror that reveals the girl's figure in the reflection. Between the doorway and the shower is a towel rack that has two, yellow towels on it.

Y/N walks up to the sink and with a shaky hand turns the knob to make warm water flow from the faucet. She steps back when the water begins to flow from it, recalling how one night she dreamt of blood filling the sink. Granted, that dream occurred in the kitchen, but it still made her nervous around any sink. After deeming it okay, the girl splashes her face with the water before vigorously washing her hands and arms with the lemon-scented soap. After drying her hands and face with one of the towels, Y/N turns around and closes the door partway before standing behind it. She then undresses before putting her selection of clothes on hurriedly and throwing her nightclothes in the hamper.

Afterwards, Y/N takes care of the rest of her morning routine before stepping into the hall, ready to go downstairs for breakfast now that she's done. She isn't going anywhere today, but knew that at any moment they would receive a guest. She knows this because they usually come five days a week, aside from holidays. Due to her...condition, Y/N doesn't go to a school to learn like any normal kid would; instead she's homeschooled with a tutor. It was decided by M/N and F/N that this decision was for the best after their daughter's numerous freak-outs in school when she was younger.

Y/N doesn't mind the arrangement, though, since there are too many people and too many things that can happen at school...bad things. Sadly, her past tutors haven't exactly worked well with her paranoia and quit on her. Today, she would receive her fourth one, and she severely hopes they wouldn't frighten her by coming off with too strong of a personality like the last one did. Before Y/N could make it to the staircase, the doorbell rings loudly and suddenly, making the girl jump in surprise. A shrill shriek escapes her lips as she falls to the ground while covering her ears and curling up into a fetal position with her eyes squeezed shut. Hurriedly, M/N races out of the master bedroom dressed in a grey pantsuit after hearing the sound of distress her daughter let out and finds the teen on the floor with tears spilling from her sealed eyes. The older woman sighs softly, mentally wishing her daughter wasn't so sensitive to sound.

"It's all right, Y/N. It's probably just your new tutor," the mother assures the frightened girl, who gradually regulates her rapid heartbeat. When the teen opens her eyes and sees the woman standing there, M/N holds out her hand to help her daughter up. After standing, Y/N clings to her mother's work clothes from behind when the woman starts down the stairs to answer the door. F/N beats them to it, coming out of the kitchen and hurrying to the front door to pull it open. E/C orbs widen upon seeing a familiar figure standing outside dressed in a black, collared shirt and black pants with a dark grey necktie. Silver eyes land on the female hiding behind M/N before a light smile graces his pale pink lips.

"You must be Pilvrich. Come in, come in." F/N steps aside, allowing the raven-haired male inside his home. The man's black dress shoes step past the threshold before the door is closed behind him.

"Pilvrich?" Y/N's grip on her mother's pantsuit disappears as she stares at the tall male with surprise. His smile wides, showing off his pearly white teeth.

"Hello," he greets in a deep voice, directing it towards the young lady, though, it sounded like he was referring to everyone in the room. M/N steps aside and ushers her daughter to stand in front of her before going down the rest of the stairs.

"It's nice to meet you, Pilvrich. I'm M/N, and this is my daughter, Y/N." The woman gives her daughter a light squeeze on the shoulder to usher the girl to say hello to her new tutor. Y/N stares up at the male for awhile before saying anything.

"H-hello."

"Well, why don't you two get started. I have to get going," F/N says while going up to his daughter and giving her a light kiss on the head. "Be good, okay."

Y/N gives her father a small nod before he leaves the house and heads to the car.

"I'll go make you breakfast," M/N tells the teenager before walking off towards the kitchen. Y/N almost begged for her to stay with them, but stops herself. She's met Pilvrich before and he wasn't mean to her in any way.

"So we meet again, little one." The man chuckles softly when she looks up at him nervously. The man then gets down to remove his shoes before setting them aside. "So, shall we get to it, then? Where's your room?"

Y/N blinks a few times in surprise as the male stands up again.

"M-my room?"

Pilvrich nods.

"I find that my students learn better in places they're most comfortable in. The bedroom is the most common place for that. So, where is it? Upstairs?" Pilvrich steps towards the staircase, making Y/N gasp and stand in his path with her arms spread to block him. He stares down at the girl with a raised brow when she frantically shakes her head.

"M-my room is m-m-messy. I-I don't w-want you to see it." Silence falls between the two for a few moments before a comforting smile appears on his lips.

"Ah, I see. To the living room, then?"

Y/N breathes out a sigh of relief, glad she detoured the man from going upstairs. She really didn't want to go upstairs and study where the monster had made himself at home. Her bedroom is her least favorite place in the house thanks to him. The girl puts her arms down and nods her head before leading the way to the living room. Pilvrich looks up at the second level of the house after the female walks off and smirks.

"Messy, eh?" He mutters to himself before following the girl, the brown messenger bag worn across his body swinging slightly with his movements. Y/N has a seat on the center of the couch, while Pilvrich takes the recliner across from her as he opens his bag. He pulls out a few textbooks and sets them down on the coffee table. His silver orbs flick up and land on the girl's fidgeting form as her eyes flick around the room just in case the monster decided to make himself present regardless of her winning his game.

"So, you're jumpy even at home, hmm?" Pilvrich tilts his head some, his raven locks following his motions. Y/N merely nods in response to his observation. "And, why is that?"

Y/N looks down, hoping to avoid his inspecting gaze and shifts in her seat nervously.

"Y-you w-wouldn't believe me."

Pilvrich leans forward in his seat with his elbows on his knees and his hands folded in front of him. On his lips appears a light grin, as though he already knew the cause.

"Try me," he insists, therefore, Y/N decides to let him in on the situation after a moment of silence. Pilvrich is patient, though, and waits for her response.

"T-there's a m-monster in the house. It's b-b-been t-terrorizing my for years," she mutters so softly that the man barely heard her.

"A monster you say?" He asks just to make sure he heard her correctly. Y/N nods her head frantically, her eyes tearing up some as she grips her hands tightly. Her eyes continue to dart around the room to avoid his silver gaze, while she continues.

"H-he hides in my bedroom."

Pilvrich opens his mouth to speak only to be cut off by M/N when she enters the room with a clear, plastic cup of water and a plastic plate with cut up waffles on it covered in maple syrup and sliced strawberries.

"Now, now, Y/N. Please, don't try to scare off your new tutor on the first day." The woman sighs while placing the objects on the table in front of Y/N. The water was put in a plastic cup incase the teen were to accidentally drop it with her shaky hands. The woman didn't want the girl to hurt herself on accident, so she always took extra precautions to keep her safe.

"S-sorry," Y/N mutters while reaching for the cup with a trembling hand and holds it with both while bringing it to her lips to drink the cool liquid.

"It's no problem. I'm quite interested in the paranormal, actually, so it doesn't scare me," the raven-haired male claims while grabbing a math book off the table and opening it on his lap before flipping through the pages. Meanwhile, Y/N's E/C eyes light up in surprise as she sets her cup down. No one ever believes her. Pilvrich gazes up, making eye contact with the female before smiling slightly and winking at her with his left eye so that M/N wouldn't see. Y/N's heart seemingly lightens while racing, though, it wasn't in fear like usual, which was different, but in a good way.

"Can I get you anything Pilvrich? Water, tea?" M/N offers to be polite to their guest.

"Oh, no, I'm fine. Thank you."

M/N nods before turning to her daughter and frowning some.

"Y/N, I got a call from work. They need me to come in immediately. There was another emergency, so I'm afraid I can't stay."

Y/N nods her head, oddly not feeling bothered by the fact that she will be left alone with Pilvrich. Sighing softly, M/N turns to the tutor, who looks up at her.

"I know you said you'd be okay working alone here with her during the interview, but would you mind staying a bit longer until either F/N or I come home. Y/N hates being left alone."

A assuring smile reaches the man's lips.

"It'll be no trouble at all. I'll gladly watch over her for you."

"Thank you so much. Don't be afraid to get yourself something to eat or drink from the kitchen. We really don't mind."

Pivrich nods, and the woman walks off to finish gathering her things for work.

"Now, how about we do a few practice problems to refresh your memory, okay?" The man sets the textbook in front of the girl before reaching into his bag to pull out a blue notebook and a black pen. He gives those to her as well before pointing to a few problems. "You'll start with these. Don't be afraid to ask for my help either if you get stuck on something. I just want to know how much you know already."

"O-okay." Y/N nods before opening the notebook and writing down the problems he pointed out, multitasking with solving them and eating. She never asked for Pilvrich's help, for she mostly understood math. When she was almost done, M/N returned with her purse slung over her shoulder, gaining their attention.

"I'm gonna get going. Goodbye, dear. I'll try to come back as soon as I can, and thanks again, Pilvrich. I really appreciate you staying."

The male nods his head in acknowledgment to her appreciation.

"G-goodbye, mom." Y/N then watches as the woman leaves the room before continuing the last problem. After the front door closes, the girl hands the man the notebook so that he can review her work. She fiddles with her fingers nervously as he looks over them with a smile.

"Very good. You have a brilliant mind." The compliment makes the girl's heart soar, and a touch of heat reaches her cheeks. The male grins before closing the notebook and setting it on his lap, confusing the girl.

"How about we take a little break?" Pilvrich laces his fingers together and rests his chin upon them, his elbows propped onto his knees, as he leans forward some.

"Tell me more about this monster of yours."
