Highschool has always been the most interesting part of a human life. It evolves round their stages of maturity, friendship, hatred, betrayal and the likes.
But with the introduction of the supernatural among them— things might began to change drastically. Humans interacting with some evil creatures might be the greatest nightmare of a lifetime.... Only if the humans are aware of their true identity.
Alex got down from a SUV— coupled with four others. Michael had helped him work his way among the vamps chosen. His dream had been to be able to move with the humans, have fun with them.... Or probably go partying.
He had tried his possible best to make it up to Adam and Cole... But the two of them had always shut him out. They had blamed everything on him— starting from the time he had brought up the idea of leaving the penthouse to the time he bit a werewolf all in the name of saving a friend— a friend who now blames him and had prefer to be bitten by the werewolf.
Alex had grew knowing Adam and Cole— they had been with him even at his worst moment, they had stood by him when he needed them the most, they had done virtually everything together. That was the reason Michael had helped him out— since his friends doesn't need him anymore, this is a perfect time to start all over again and make new friends..... Irrespective of the fractions.
This is the beginning of a new semester, most peoples were in pairs— some were happy to resume back to school, and some were not. Alex paused for awhile and felt the atmosphere of his new environment— it was somehow foggy, clotty, intense, and brutal.
He could hear the heartbeat of a nerd who needed saving from the hands of some bully. This is it— what highschool is simply made of. Alex closed his eyes immediately, he began to remember the words of Michael.
"This is different from what you see when you sneak out at night— a highschool is a total different world—"
Yes! Michael was right. Few minute spent in the school had been like a year. High school is a different world— a world which comprises of different kind of people from different part of the world.
Alex opened his eyes dramatically, his mind had become soothe— and he was looking forward to a brand new life.
The first figure Alex saw as he opened his eye was an angel— a blonde angel. His world suddenly began to revolve— for an immature young vampire, he felt a sting in his heart— something he had never felt before.
"Get the hell out of the way" Derrick screamed, and it jerked Alex immediately from his pretty little fantasy.
"Who the hell voted for him?" Adam asked in disgust, and the rest burst out laughing
That question really provoked Alex— some months back they were inseparable... best of friends— but now, enemies or so.
"Guess I still have my place among the vamps" Alex said, smirking
That particular scornful smile brought out the rage in Adam. The smile that ain't so far from Alex mouth— the smile he is still putting up.
Adam drifted forward instantly but he was held immediately by Cole and Derrick.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" A voice said from the SUV.
It was Tobias— there proposed relative. He was chosen to act as their uncle... They were going to keep their identity from the humans and must not use their powers even in trouble.
"Only few humans knows of our existence— so you really want to put up with your crazy drama here— amidst the humans. Grow up boys or should I report this to Kol"
At the sound of his name, Adam rage cools— he doesn't want to get on the ugly side of Kol book.
"Ingrid — " Tobias said turning to the only female among them "— you going to be their mother, report any misconduct to me"
Ingrid was the only girl voted for, she would begin her new journey with guys who have their individual differences— guys she hardly talk to even at the penthouse.
"Yes, I will gladly do so" Ingrid said with a wink.
Tobias got back into the van and ignite it
"Don't forget, no using of super powers" he said as he drove off.
This wasn't just going to be a new beginning, this is also a start of a new friendship among the supernatural... Hopefully a long friendship.
***
First day in a human school couldn't be so perfect like this is. The vamps were in their full composure— the witches as no problem keeping their practice away from school— but the wolves as always been the problem.
They kept starring at the vampires as if they were ready for battle of supremacy. They had some unfinished business with the vamps.
Jackson kept starring at Alex— he had recognized Alex from the moment he saw him. He couldn't forget such an encounter easily— Alex humiliated him and his pack. Alex made him a worthless alpha— someone who couldn't care for his packs..... Alex had also killed someone from his pack— So such a face couldn't be forgotten so easily.
Alex was ready to take a new leaf, so doesn't want to be tied up to the previous events of his life. So he tries to reconcile.
"I know you might not remember me—" Alex began, but with the look on Jackson face— he was so certain he remembers it all.
"—with the way you are starring at me... I must assume you remember it all" Alex continued.
Jackson growled and it alerted the remaining packs. Alex fixed him an awkward smile— he wasn't scared of them but creating a scene amidst the humans wasn't something he had planned on doing on his first day.
"Let it slide" he said holding Jackson shoulders tightly.
His nicely fitted claws penetrated through Jackson skin.
"Cool your rage" Alex voice became so husky. It was like acting cool wasn't his kind of thing, but he just have to put up with it.
Jackson withdraw his wolves in anger— Alex had humiliated him again ... For the second time, but this time— he wasn't just going let it slide.
"Let's go boys" Jackson said, angrily.
Alex left the class and find his way down the hallway. He had separated from his group since he wasn't wanted. He was ready to be on the look out himself— not minding anything Adam or any vampires thinks.
So on getting to the field, he saw some students training— it was like they were training for some kind of a competition. Alex moved closer to them and sat down in neatly arranged seat of the stadium, not far from where they were training.
Alex suddenly began to wonder what kind of sport they were doing— he just couldn't understand it. The players were trying to catch the person with the ball. Bemusement had began to fill Alex heart until the player was tackled and he fell on the ground holding the ball so tightly in his hand. The rest of the players jumped on him forming a pile of heaps.
"Which kind of sport is this—" Alex said softly, but to his surprise a reply came from behind him.
"It is called a gridiron" the cool voice said
"A what—" Alex said turning to face the person, but to his surprise it was the blonde he saw earlier.
She was sparkling and glittering like a diamond, she beamed him a smile that swept him off his feet— her dimples were so edible that he became so short of words.
"You are beautiful—" he said softly in his Mr. nice guy voice.
"Thank you" she said smiling
Alex heart won't stop fluttering— he couldn't believe she as been behind him the whole time. His heart suddenly began to race.... He hasn't felt like that before— but this time, a strange feeling had clouded his head.
"Sweetie—" a voice called among the players
Alex looked at the guy who was well built— his muscular arms were showing as he took off his sweaty vest flaunting his nicely arranged abs. Alex began to hear different kind of heartbeat— some girls were whispering all sort of things.
"He is hot".... " she is very lucky"..... "I wish he could hold me so tight in those arms"..... " I want to have him to myself"
Different whispers and soft words won't stop entering Alex ears. The blonde and her friends stood up to meet the guy. She was with his bag— he grabbed her tightly and planted a deep kiss on her lips— he kissed her passionately till she dropped the bag she was holding.
Alex mouth was gape— he couldn't believe his eyes. She wasn't just his friend..... She was his girlfriend.
"Heather! There was no need making us jealous" one of her friend said
Heather! That name stored into Alex head instantly— he had use his super hearing. He hadn't felt that way with other girls— but this particular girl stuck an axe into his heart and he couldn't help it but to think of her.
"Go find yourself a boyfriend Suzy" Heather said as she grabbed Rory tightly.
Rory smiled and lifted her up— he caught her before she could land and she screamed. Alex could see she was in love with her boyfriend— but he was so determine to get her at all cost.
"Rory!" a voice screamed "quit the amorous and get your ass back to the field"
"Yes coach" Rory said, smiling. "Stay put, going to be through in some minutes" he continued and planted a light kiss on Heather.
Alex grew so tired of the whole scenario— he knew with time everything would become so clear to him.... He would understand the human better. So he left the scene and went back to class.
***
"Adam where are we going?" Cole called from behind
Adam walked so fast— he was very hungry. Since he was back from his lovely sleep. His blood thirst as increased— the blood pant ain't satisfying him anymore. His quench for blood was beyond usual.
"To the forest to hunt for food" Adam replied him
"But we fed before coming this morning..." Cole protested
"Since we got back from the dead— I haven't been myself.... My quench for blood as increased"
Cole drifted to his front in a seconds and then began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Adam asked, frowning.
"The Olsen family is packed mysteries. Kol quench for blood hasn't gone after a month of been resurrected... Here you are also— after weeks of been resurrected you still quench massively for blood....."
Adam fixed him a disgusting look
"When has your quench for blood reduced?" Adam asked him
"The fourth day I guess"
"Fourth? Like seriously?" Adam asked with surprise written all over his face.
"Yes" Cole added with a nod "..but since you are still hungry— let's go for a hunt"
Adam smiled and the two boys raced their way into the forest in the school premises. Hoping to catch a game— rabbit— squirrel— anything! Anything that can sustain them till they reach home.
The two boys raced after a squirrel who already sense them to be a predator. The squirrel ran at its full speed but when Adam caught up with it, the squirrel vanquished into a hole.
"Wise rodent—" Adam said, grinning.
"Don't worry, more food is coming" Cole said pointing at a snake which was rustling its way amidst the dried leaves on the ground.
"You seriously gat to be kidding me" Adam said frowning.
"I'm not" Cole said with a smile
"Let's go deep into the forest" Adam said.
Cole nicely obeyed and the two boys went deep into the forest. They squeeze their ways amidst trees and spiral branches but couldn't find a single game. They suddenly heard someone screaming in pain— instantly the boys drifted towards the place and laid low in a bush.
"What did I do wrong?" The voice was so thin and feeble
He was clutched tightly against the walls, his mouth were covered in blood— his face were blistering up— his sight had become so dampened. He had been overpowered— he was beaten to stupor— and the thought of death lurking in the dark crept beneath his mind.
"Off that creepy armlet" A voice came, very defiant.
There was silence for some minute. They knew the full repercussion of removing a vampire dagslys armlet.... Especially in the sun. He would burn out and his ash will fly in the sky.
"He is going to burn out" a voice protested.
"Who cares?" The voice said angrily "they killed one of us— our brother was bitten by one of them, and I was also humiliated. So killing one of them will make us even"
The wolves agreed to their alpha request— they drifted swiftly and held Derrick hand. Derrick was lured outside the classroom into the forest in the school premises. He was outnumbered and was beaten — it was a way of getting revenge on Alex and the vampires.
Derrick hands was spread wide— with his last strength he tries to struggle with them. He wasn't just going to give up on his life just like that. He suddenly wished he could call for help..... But he just couldn't— unlike the wolves that howls to alert the rest of the pack... He was just helpless.
When he was about to give up, Adam and Cole came out of their hidden place without even thinking of a strategy. Hope had began to build up inside Derrick— he knew death had escaped him today. Suddenly, his strength had began to buildup— he fought his way out from the wolves grip but he was caught by their alpha.
"Not so fast" Jackson said, growling
He clutched his crawls around Derrick throats. He was ready to tear it apart within a seconds. Adam watched in anger— he tries to take a step forward but he was warned against it.
"Don't you dare" Jackson growled
Adam hesitated for awhile— a look sprung on his face. It was as if he needed Alex intervention. He knew Alex was faster, stronger and a good war strategist than him. Adam looked at Cole who was obviously helplessly too.
"What do you want?" Adam asked, angrily.
"Have you forgotten we have an unfinished business" Jackson said, fuming.
Adam looked at him in disgust. It was like he couldn't relate what Jackson meant— An unfinished business?
"Your father destroyed my family— guess it's time I return the favor"
Adam paused for awhile, so this ain't about the death of his wolf. This is now personal— a family revenge, a fist of blow.
"I'm so sorry about what happened in the past— but we are the future. We were chosen to unite the three fractions and not destroy them further. We were meant to make a difference and not —"
"Quit the talks and let the gods decide who lives to see another day" Jackson interrupted
"Since you asked for it.... Now you have got it" Adam said, trying to make his voice more husky.
Adam made a brawling stance— he was tried of running. Austin had cursed him for being unable to make a difference. Austin had called him a mess— a useless entity. He had been cursed for carrying the family name, Olsen..... But he was as weak as a fox.
He couldn't defend himself— his only advantage was the name which he bears. So this time, Adam was ready to make a difference— he was ready to move the hill and sit among the mountain. He was tired of been scared—
***
Alex got to the class only to find the whole place in a mess. He couldn't find Adam and the rest, the wolves were also out of sight. Only four of the witches had resumed on the first day, with the remaining one still having an issue to deal with.
The humans who also had this fraction thing going on among them had chosen themselves in groups. The class was divided into groups with some being the nerd— some the bullies— some the psychopath— while some the kings and Queens of the class.
Suddenly Alex spotted Ingrid who was obviously making friends. He called her and then signaled her to meet him outside. After some minutes, Ingrid joined Alex outside.
"What is it?" She asked as she approached him
"Nothing much... But do you have any idea where Adam and the rest went?" Alex asked
"They must also be having fun somewhere around the school"
"Fun?" Alex asked in disgust.
He tries to understand what Ingrid meant by fun. He couldn't see the fun in the school. The school was jammed with rich kids who goes around constituting nuisance— some were even making out in the lobby. What she meant by fun wasn't really fun to Alex.
"Alex, I just had my first kiss" Ingrid said, blushing
Alex stood still for a seconds, his mouth was gape. He couldn't believe his ears. Just few hours in the school, Ingrid had feel at home— She already had her first kiss.
"Seriously Ingrid— you gat to be kidding me. Few hours in school you already had your first kiss" Alex said in disbelief
"Not just my first kiss— I already have a boy friend"
"What?" Alex screamed
"So Alex, quit asking around for Adam and the rest. You never can tell, they might be having fun somewhere" she said
A guy came out of the class— he was looking so lanky with his face so sulky. He wrapped his arms round Ingrid shoulders and gave Alex a wink.
"Alex" Ingrid said giggling "this is Thomas, my boyfriend"
That word 'Boyfriend' swept Alex off his feet. He was finding it so difficult to believe the whole thing. The whole stuff was moving so fast— Ingrid already had a boyfriend within few hours.... That he found very difficult to believe.
Ingrid did the whole introduction. Thomas stretch forth his arm in a friendly gesture. He beamed a smile that Alex couldn't interpret— he was already getting lost in his thoughts.
"Alex! We are going to be on our way now" Ingrid said as she clinched unto Thomas who was apparently taller than her.
"Have fun Alex" she added as they walk through the hallway.
Alex watched them— he was so surprise things had happened so fast. Ingrid had made herself so comfortable but here he was! Still thinking his friends were in trouble.
Alex walk down the hall way, he followed the path that led to the forest. So on getting there he paused for awhile— he strained his ear so as to filter some unnecessary noise. He focused on hearing either Adam voice or Cole's.
To his surprise, he heard Jackson howling in triumphant. Alex suddenly realize something must have gone wrong. He drifted into the forest in a seconds— his glittering eye roam the whole place.
After few minutes of searching, he finally saw glimpse of them. Alex hid behind a tree and thought of a way to rescue Adam who was apparently not having any strength left in him. Cole and Derrick was tied to a tree while the wolves punch them.
This was like a mission impossible for Alex— he was outnumbered, so the only way he can win this battle is to give them a surprise attack. As he was about to charge forward, an idea then prompt into his mind.
The wolves are stronger in pack and each pack as an alpha who leads them. Jackson is the alpha of this particular pack— so attacking him would make the rest of the pack surrender.
Alex then watched Jackson closely, he waited for Jackson to be lost in his speech before he would attack.
".... Never knew an Olsen is this useless—" Jackson said tossing Adam over. "This is our time— the lycans would take over the town with time —..... We would ascend power and be unstoppable—"
Jackson paused awhile and howled in accomplishment— he was so happy to have make three vampires suffer.
"...take the armlet off them" he added looking angry
Yes! He had made them suffer but this time he wants to watch them burn— burn into ash— burn till their flames fill the sky—
The wolves held the boys who were apparently trying to fight for their life but they were just too weak. Cole began to cry— he suddenly missed Alex for the first time since their departure. He suddenly wished Alex was there to save him....
"Aleeeeeeex!!!" Cole screamed in pain
Alex became so surprise— so Cole could remember him at the point of death. So instantly Alex went according to plan. He drifted forward like a ghost being unnoticed and grabbed Jackson in the neck.... His nicely fitted claws penetrated his skin and Jackson groan in pain.
"Tell your boys to release them or else I will rip off your throat" Alex said growling, his fangs were showing and bloodlust had filled his eyes.
Cole screamed in happiness— he knew death had jumped him over today.
"Thanks for coming" he said
Alex smiled and gave him a wink
"You are welcome"
Jackson signaled to his wolves and they released Adam and the rest.
Adam looked at Alex, he was so grateful he had come to his rescue but his ego just wouldn't let him say the word.
"Let this be the last time you will attack any member of my family— I won't show mercy next time" Alex said, releasing his grip.
Jackson neck was full of blood— he was so angry at himself. He had failed again, it was only a matter of time before a member of his pack decided to test his superiority and challenge him for a duel. They already thought he was weak to rule the pack— but Jackson is fully ready for the worst.... He was ready for them all.
