Christian POV
As usual, I decided to skip my remaining classes and head to the school gym. It doesn't really matter if I attend my classes or not, I'm sure as hell not missing out on anything because I already know everything.
The gym is probably my favourite place around here. Not only is it spacious but for some reasons, no one ever uses it during school time and privacy is very important to me. I only come here when I need a distraction, usually my distraction is murdering people but I'm in need of a new hobby, for now
I walk over to my locker and get my gear ready. I remove my shirt and make my way over to the bench press, wearing only my joggers. The last time I checked, I was strong enough to lift 'The Rock' on a bench press with ease. I put my earplug in my ears and begin my exercise. After about 12 minutes of exercising, I catch a familiar scent in the hall coming my way.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
"I don't see the point," I replied taking out my earplugs.
I barely ever attend classes, I had like 7 classes a week and I usually attend like 1. That is one of the reason why the headmaster and I doesn't exactly get along well. Well to be fair, I don't get along well with most people. Can't say I care though.
The only time I attend classes is when there's training, so I could watch other people get their asses kicked. It's not as satisfying as me doing it myself but it's not all that boring watching someone beat the shit out of someone they're not planning to kill. They'll punch, claw, bite, even break a couple bones, but in the end... killing is not option.
The most interesting part about though is that... hmmm, let's say somebody accidentally rip their component's head off, I get to accidentally do whatever the hell want with that person.
"Why aren't you at class, boy?" I ask giving him the strict father expression.
I haven't seen or heard from my father in 10 centuries. I barely remember anything good about him, all he did was teach me to be a monster. Alli had a much better life than me because she was usually with her mother and their family. The first born is usually the best one...especially when it's a girl
Her mother was a human in the beginning. I don't exactly know the full story of how Alli was conceived and now that I think about it, that was never brought up. Like never.
"I need to work out more," he yawns.
"Let me guess.." I smirk, "Girls getting tired of that look now?"
He throw a 75 pound weight at me which I easily catch and laugh at him. "No dumbass..." he said walking over to the bars. "I'm actually trying to impress a specific girl."
I tried. I really really tried. But I couldn't. I couldn't hold in my laughter. Jackson.. My Jackson!! The fuckboy, is trying to impress a girl? Believe me when I say.. Jackson and I are not very different. Yeah I may be the worst but we sure as hell has a lot of things in common and being a fuckboy is number 1 on that list.
"I hope you choke and die," he mumbles as I coughs.
Now this is my Jackson!
The last time he tried to impress a girl, I tried to kill him.
Long story short the girl was Alli, it doesn't matter if she's older than me, it's still my job to protect her from guys like myself.
"Is there something going on between you and Kira?" he asks lifting a 20lb weight. I walk over to my bag and pull out a bloodbag. I smirk before taking a sip, "Is there a reason you're asking me this question?"
"Because I'm thinking of asking her out."

Kira POV
Lisa and I met up before class so she could give me a heads-up of what to expect.
I've never been so uncomfortable in my life. I'm trap in a room with witches and will be for the next hour. I am a witch and I am a werewolf but the worse part is, I am also a vampire. I crave blood more than anything else.
"I can't stay in here," I whisper to Lisa as the teacher walks in the class. She is medium height and resembles a modern relative of Mary Poppins.
I don't belong in here. I'm okay with being a werewolf and I love being a vampire but I cannot adapt to the fact that I have witch magic running through my body. It's not that I hate witches but my vampire instincts are stronger and certain things I cannot control, like the fact that I wanna brutally murder everyone in here.
"Hey..." Lisa whisper shaking me a little. I slowly breathe out and turn my attention to her, "You can do this,". I bit my lip when I realize that my desk is covered in claw marks. Oh shit I did that.
I feel like I'm suffocating in here, I rest my hands on my legs trying to focus on the teacher. I can hear her heartbeat as she speaks, even though I cannot understand a word she's saying. Her lips are moving but so is her neck. I can smell them all.... And I want them all.
"Is everything okay Miss Williams?" She asks snapping her fingers a couple times. I bit my bottom lip trying to control my urge but the taste and smell of my own blood aint making it any better. I shook my head and grab the desk trying to steady my hands, unfortunately the damn thing break causing everyone to turn their attention to me. I am pretty sure that my eyes are as dark as midnight right now.
The worst thing that can happen right now, is someone trying to use their magic on me because I swear to God I won't hesitate to rip their head off.
"I can't do this," I breathe out to Lisa and speed out.
...
The halls are empty but I can still hear voices from various rooms. I shake my head and walk over to my locker, taking out a bloodbag I recently stole from the cafeteria. Right now, I really don't care if anyone catches me.
I walk into the empty cafeteria and take a seat close to the window. Here I am, sitting alone enjoying the taste of the red liquid entering my mouth. The worst thing about having supernatural hearing, is that it's never quiet and I really need to be by myself right now.
I know it's against the rules to be in the cafeteria during class time unless it's an emergency... Well actually, this is an emergency. Maybe I should go back to class... "fuck that," I hiss my teeth.
I finish my bloodbag and make my way back in the hallway. I have no idea where I'm going because there's not many places I can go right now and i'm bored. Rachel is in class, so is Alli and if I get caught going over to my dorm i'm screwed. But I'm bored, tf am I supposed to do?
A playground with a swing would be really great right now or a sand pit I could fall asleep.
I yawn walking down the stairs, I hear a familiar laugh coming from one of the rooms. I smirk and speed over to it knowing exactly who that laugh belongs to. I can use the company, either that or a bed to sleep on.
"Aren't you boys suppose to be in class like every other good student?" I smirk. Well I already know they aren't good students but education is the key to success. Damn, I sound a lot like my 3rd grade teacher
Both of them are shirtless. Christian ofcourse is wearing joggers while Jackson is wearing a basketball shorts. 'Do not look at their crotch Kira'
"Yeah..." Christian simper taking a sip from his water bottle, "But Jackhead and I needed some alone time, if you know what I mean," he winks at Jackson, who did the same.
These two are unbelievable.
I roll my eyes and walk over to the nearest chair. "So why aren't you in class, child?" Christian asks giving me the concern dad look. This is the first time i've seen Jackson so quiet. Is it something I said?
"I-uh"
"Please tell me you didn't kill anybody!" Jackson gulps. That boy is smokin' by the way. 'I wonder what it would feel like to have a 3some with____'
I swear the voices in my head are naughty as fuck.
"If she did, she wouldn't be here," Christian scoffs putting on his shirt. I nod my head and walk over to one of the punching bags. Hmm interesting.
I have an idea. I smirk and pull off my shirt, good thing i'm wearing a sports bra under.
"Fight me."
"I'm not gonna fight a girl, Kira," Jackson snickers.
I roll my eyes and punch him in the abdomen which cause him to stumble back at bit. I proceed to kick him 'where the sun doesn't shine' but he grab my foot and I fell. I quickly stand up and put my ' I'm gonna rip your heart out' face on.
"I think I'm actually going to enjoy this!" Christian exclaim clapping his hands, "Alright rules... Pfft there aint no rules."
"Winner gets to have sex with me, so Kira you know what you gotta do," he winks.
We both give him the look. "Shush I was just kidding... or not," he laughs.
I ignore him and attack Jackson with my claws. Christian taught me a while back that speed is one of vampires greatest weapon, if they can outrun you, they can easily distract and kill you. They usually go for the neck because that's the weak spot in most people, there's not much you can do when your attacker or opponent grab you by your neck, especially from behind.
Jackson is alot older than me and probably even stronger and faster not to mention that he's more experience. That doesn't stray the fact that I also have something that he doesn't, claws.
I managed to claw his chest real good before he shove me across the room. I quickly get up and aim for his lower body, no i'm not gonna hit his man parts. Well not yet.
I growl and kick his knee reaaalll hard causing him too fall. I'm pretty sure I heard the bone crack.
"Ay!" Christian gulps. I smirk and straddle over Jackson punching him, bruising his pretty little face.
"Cuidado cariño!" Christian shouts leaning back in the chair, "Jacky dear doesn't react well when people mess with his pretty little face!" (Careful darling)
Right as he speaks, Jackson regain his strength and punch me so fucking hard in the face even my ears went numb. Fuck! I yelp in pain and caressed my bloody nose. "Jackson," I growl standing up, "You're dead!".
I don't know what came over me, but the next thing I know, his bones starts cracking.
"Kira what the fuck are you doing!?" Christian shouts catching him before he falls.
"I don't know I'm not doing anything!" I scream. There's only one explanation for this.
I'm still angry at him, even though I'm well aware that he's in a lot of pain. But I'm still so fucking angry!
Christian quickly took out his phone and dial someone. I'm in trouble aren't I?
"Hey what's up?"
"I need your help with something!" Christian snarls. Great he's mad at me. Jackson growls in pain and I try my best not to look at Christian because I know for sure that's not a happy face.
"Is that Jackson? Is he okay?" Alli asked.
"Yes and no. Escucha hermana... I need you guys to make sure that nobody, absolutely nobody comes anywhere near the gym,"
"Yes absolutely.." she reples, I heard noise in the background like she's moving something. "Anything else you need?".
He looked at me first before replying, "Actually yes," he breathe out, "Get Lisa here, NOW!".
After a few minutes Lisa ran into the room, panting. She could've just use her abracadabra instead of running here. Hmm maybe she wanted to show up the old fashion way... blah blah blah
"What is going on in here?"She turns her attention to Christian and Jackson and gasps. "He's not healing," Christian mutter.
She breathe out and walk over to them. She rest her hands on his chest and caress it before responding, "Actually he is... Just slowly".
"We don't have much time though, classes are almost over and Alli and Rachel alone cannot manage to keep away all those students," she continues.
"Is there anything you can do?" Christian asks. "Well there's no sign of blood or physical damage which means that whatever Kira did to him only caused damage on the inside, which I should say is much more worse than physical damage you can actually see."
This doesn't make any sense. I remember back when Alli and I were kidnapped and she convinced me to break the chains by simple focussing my energy on breaking them. I wanted to hurt Jackson yes, but I never wanted this.
"What are you trying to say?" Jackson wince.
"I wouldn't talk if I were you," she breathe out. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that, a vampire can easily heal but a witch magic isn't always easily reversed."
I am suppose to feel guilty but I don't. I do feel something though, because if I didn't, I wouldn't still be in here. "Is there anything I can do?".
I can't exactly let him die. Well I can but choose not to. I killed him once, I don't see a reason to do it again.
"Actually..." She smiled, "It's pretty simple." Everytime a witch says 'it's pretty simple', just know things goin' get complicated.
Christian sigh in relief as I walk over to them. "What do I have to do?" I ask kneeling beside Jackson. "All you have to is focus on healing him," she adds. That all. "It's not as easy as it sounds though... You have to have a connection."
See. I knew it wasn't easy.
I look down into Jackson brown eyes and I realize that, even though he can be a real dick sometimes, he's still a person, human or not.
"What kind of connection?" I ask resting my hands on his chest. He opens his mouth to speak but Christian stopped him. Look at him being a good friend.
This is the first time I've ever seen Christian care for someone. The look in his eyes when Jackson almost fell, this is more than a friend caring for a friend and Jackson is definitely more than a friend to him.
"You have to find a reason to bring him back and it has to be a genuine reason, something that you feel," she replies. "You can do it Kira," she add standing up, "I trust you." I don't even trust myself, yet they trust me.
There she goes trusting me that has absolutely no idea what tf I'm doing.
Christian give me a look, which I'm going to assume is his version of a faint smile. I breathe out and do as I was told.
I'm not the type of person to feel pity or any other selfless emotions for people but somehow, right here, right now, I feel a type of connection between me and the cocky guy I killed once. I can feel his heartbeat under my hands, I want to help him... I have to.
I breathe out and close my eyes, focussing on that one thing.
"Is it working?" Christian whispers to Lisa.
I smile in my head when I realize Jackson sudden movements. "Does that answer your question?" Lisa chuckles.
Jackson starts to regain his strength and I help him stand up. "Well that wasn't fun," he scoffs.
I saved him... I was also the one that did that to him.
"I think I should go now," I said picking up my blouse.
><><><
So much has happened today and the only only thing I've learnt is that: 'I hate magic' and I mean that shit.
I can't have something I can't control, that doesn't make any sense at all. Well atleast I know that the only times my magic works by itself is when I'm angry. Which makes it much worse, I could barely control my anger when I was human and now everything is amplified.
Deep down, I don't want to be a witch...
But, somehow, somebody brought back Vanessa to life just so she can steal that very magic I don't want. Which is a definitely a reason why I shouldn't get rid of it... If they want it, then I'm sure as fuck not letting it go.
"What are you thinking about?" Jackson asks we walk out of school. He offered to walk me to my dorm, I couldn't exactly decline since I basically almost killed him, again.
"Nothing."
I saw the look on Christian face when I accepted Jacksons' offer, completely emotionless. Sigh. What was I even expecting to see? He was already pissed at me for hurting his best bud.
First impressions aren't always right. Never would I ever thought that I would become this close to the cocky boy I met in the backyard and not only have I become close him but a part of me think I care for him a little. I thought I'd heal him because he's Christian only friend apart from Rachel, Lisa and I but that wasn't the reason at all. I healed him because I wanted to.
"About earlier.." he breathe out. Oh God please don't say it. "I totally understand if you don't want to talk about it for a while." Oh
My lips curl into a smile, one he barely saw because I hid my face a bit. I don't want him to think he made me smile... nope
We enters the building, I'm pretty relief to see that not many students are home. That is my favourite thing about over here, the halls aren't usually crowded. "So are we taking the stairs or the elevator?" I ask.
"Stairs. The elevator is usually crowded and I don't want you getting into a conflict with anyone," he replied. Well he has a point.
I was gonna ask how he knows so much about the elevator over here but then I remember who his friend is.
"So how long have you been here?" I asked trying to make conversation as we walk. "About 300 years."
"Are you serious? how old is this school? How old are you?"
"Well, Stanford Academy is approximately 510 years old. As for me..." He smiled, "I've been 20 for 307 years and yes, I did spend most of my life here."
There's so much question I want to ask him right now. Like, did you know my grandmother? Are you gay?... etc.
"Wow! How did you met Christian and..." I bit my lip and continued, "Did you know my grandmother?".
He smile and rub his hands. "He's actually the one that turned me."
No wonder they're so close. I guess that at some point I'm gonna have to turn somebody too. How am I suppose to do that though considering the fact that I can't exactly feed from somebody and not kill them.
I figured from the look on his face that he doesn't wanna talk about it. The rest of the walk we just cracked a couple of jokes here and there.
"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you laugh like this," He says. I tilt my head down trying to hide the smile on my face. He's right. In a way.
"We're here," I breathe out infront from of my dorm door. "I really enjoyed the walk".
"Is that you're way of saying 'Thank you for accompanying me to my room'?" he smile.
"If you wanna put it that way," I chuckle.
He smile again and turn to leave and I start unlocking the door. I smile to myself thinking about today, It's not as bad as I thought it would be.
"Maybe we could do it again," he said from down the hall.
"Do what?" I ask, hoping he's not talking about the breaking bones part
"If you really enjoyed it then maybe we could it again, for real this time," he continues. I open my mouth to speak, but I don't know what to say.
"Go out with me.. Like on a date."
Did he just ask me out? Holy fuck he did just ask me out.
What the fuck i'm suppose to say.
I nod my head and he smirked before completely disappearing.
'What have I gotten myself into?'
