"Dane, have you pack everything you need?" My mom make sure that my things are complete
I nodded to my mom and kiss her cheeks, "I'm good Mom, you don't have to worry"
"She's big enough to forgot something Mama, she can handle her own, she's our daughter after all" Dad commented, he was reading new arrived news paper
"I'm going now, bye Mom and Dad" I said holding my backpack
While walking on the road I plug in my earphones and listened to my favorite song, but then I notice a familiar figure walking in front of me, he was taking a picture with his usual camera. I slowly walk near him.
"GOOD MORNING PRINCE!" I startled him with a surprised hug and seemingly energetic greeting for the morning
"Good Morning Dane" he said, still surprised
I'm walking next to him now, "Do you usually walk? Aren't you supposed to be riding a car or some vehicle?" I asked him holding both of backpack handle
"I prefer walking to school by doing that I can capture many interesting things" he was smiling when he said those words
I noticed that he always enjoy it whenever he was holding his camera and having to capture many things. You won't notice his a royalty because he live like a commoner.
"You must really love photography" I mentioned
"Your wrong" he said to me, then he started taking pictures of the field we just passed by
"Then if it's not photography, what is it that you love?" I asked him
"It's not about photography, it's about the essence of your subject, I've always love the scenery, I enjoy taking pictures because of it" he muttered
"There are a lot of good scenery I've witness, if I meet you any sooner, I will probably invite you to watch it together with me, or even sent you a photo. But don't you worry now that I know you love it so much I'll take you to my favorite place" I said cheerfully
"You promise?"
"I promise" I smiled and our pinkie intertwined
We arrived at the school entrance in no time, I got to admit I get nervous the moment I enter the school.
"Are you that nervous?" He asked me
"I guess I am" I merely smile
"Don't worry you have me" he assured me, he patted me head and made me more assured
We reach the faculty room.
The moment he opened the door teachers were talking to each other and the faculty is cheery. But in an instant they notices the both of us. More likely Vell.
"Good Morning Royal Crown Prince Novellin" they greeted him and pay their respect with a bow
"I have my friend here Dane Sillia, she just transferred to our school, I would like to know what her subjects and her room?" Vell said without any hesitance
A teacher approached us, "Dane Sillia, she's in the same classroom as you, Royal Prince"
Another teacher approached us, "And mostly have the same subjects as you, Royal Prince"
"I understand" Vell said and we left the faculty just like that
"Pretty cool right there Vell" I complimented him
"You think I'm cool" he then teased
I nodded out of respect, "Of course, your my very first friend, my cool friend" and then I laugh a bit
"Dane your interesting" he said before we enter our classroom
"Good Morning Royal Prince" they all greeted him but some of them weren't happy about it
He sat down somewhere and I just followed him, I took the empty sit at the back of his.
"A new comer!"
"Why is she with the Prince??"
"Who is she?"
"They seems close?"
Gossips started to spread. But neither I or Vell care about it.
"Do you read Hempstone?" I asked him showing him my book
"I haven't read his book yet, plus I don't really read" he honestly said
"You should try reading it, My favorite story of Hempstone is probably 'Angels and Devils' that got me wow" I mentioned while opening the chapter I left yesterday
"I'll try reading that tonight"
I don't really intend him to read it if he doesn't want to though. But I think I just found out a new side of him. Not very fond of books.
Later on, I found myself smiling out of the blue.
The moment our Lecturer arrived everything went quiet, everything is paying attention.
After having lessons time passes by and it's already time for lunch.
"Novellin want to hang out with us?" Someone came to Vell, three more approaches him
"I want to invite 1 person is that okay?" Vell asked the girl who asked him
They seemed pretty close
"Sure" the girl commented and agree with Vell
"By the way she's Dane Sillia" I heard my name coming out of Vell
"H-hi" I stuttered not so good socializing
"I'm Sewona Simpson" the girl who asked Vell, I think she hates me for some reason
"My name is Rachelle Smith" the other girl, she looks fine, we will get a long
"I'm Ruth Christian, my name might be a girl's name but I'm a boy" he said, as to what I see his far more beautiful than a woman
"Nice to meet you, Lin Manuel" the other guy, to my first impression he seems nice
We had lunch together, and to my surprised we get a long pretty well. Not that I expected we won't. But as I get to hang out with them my impression changes especially to Sewona. I now think that she doesn't hate me.
[ In the realm of vampire world
"Have you found him?"
"Elder, I can't find him anywhere"
"Glyr you must bring him to me immediately, your student will cause as a lot of trouble in the future if he didn't get punish right now" the Elder clenched his fist
"Yes Elder, I'll definitely punish him" Glyr is aware of Dwight's ability after all Glyr was Dwight's teacher
Glyr vanished in an instant. When Glyr is nowhere to be seen the Sire greeted the Elder.
"Elder, the news have been spread, what are we going to do now?" the Sire sounded worried
"Dwight is a disgrace in the vampire world, he must be punish at once" the Elder is very furious, knowing what would happen if the Humans were aware of their beings
"We already sent Glyr to find him, but do you think it's enough for only 1 person to find Dwight" the Sire said
"Glyr is enough, I'm confident he'll bring Dwight to me"
-
"Where could Dwight be hiding?" Glyr whispered, knowing he won't find Dwight that easily
Glyr had been exploring the human world, kingdom to kingdom, but Dwight is good in hiding, Glyr decided to take a break. He need to replenish his energy. His old but his strong.
Glyr found a place where he could stay for the meantime. As the day comes to shine, he'll look for Dwight again. He knew that no vampire can walk through the sunlight, but Glyr is the first vampire to walk in the sunlight without getting burnt. By Glyr's family a cloak is pass down to every generation, and the special cloak is now on his possession, with that he has a lot of time to spend finding his student.

"Can I borrow this?" He asked me about the book I just finish titled 'Days'
"Sure, I assure you, that's a nice read" I mumbled, scribbling into my scrapbook with my 2B pencil
He opened the book and started reading, "Do you have time after school?" He asked
"I have plans, I'm going to Elslock Library, want to come with me?" I invited him right away
"Alright" He smiled reassuring things
We spent the rest of our time in the school library, he was reading the book he borrowed from me and I was sketching his fine figure with the library as background while his reading a book.
- CRING - CRING -
It's time, he put a bookmark to where he stop reading and close the book, I also put my stuffs inside my bag except the scrapbook, I wanted to show him my drawing. But then he approached me to asked about it.
"What did you draw?" He said
I give him my scrapbook, he flipped it over and over again until he got to see his self.
"You drew me?" He look amazed
"I think it might be nice to draw you" I said being honest
"This look great actually" He smiled at me
"Is that so, then I'll draw you more often" I mentioned
While chatting around. We got into the old fashion train look like a bus. Everyone seems to recognized Vell, well his a prince, I won't be confused about these attentions.
We drop by to 'Elslock Library' the moment I enter the bookshop I smelled the books right away. I've always love the smell and the sound of books being flipped.
Around the library, Vell's just following me. I explore the library and witness tons of good books, something nice to read. I pick 9 books already that pass my interest. Some are stories and some are for my academic studies. But as I look around I witness something that caught my very attention. I approached the book. It's very black with a little touch of brown, very old looking, and as I turned the pages I can see its used and very very old. Some of the pages are ripped but still complete. Some are hard to see but still can understand. It caught my interest and I planned to buy it.
"Kyūketsuki" I mumbled
"Are you interested in Vampire stories" Vell besides me asked
"I think this book is interesting, I want to read it" I smiled, and something inside me really want to buy this one
I payed the books in the cashier and successfully left the library. It was so satisfying.
"Where do you want to go next?" I asked him
It's not so fun to just hang out in the library, when I invited a prince isn't it.
"I'm hungry" He had his gazed on a restaurant nearby
I grabbed his right hand and run until we reach the restaurant he was looking at.
"Why are we here?" He asked
"Didn't you said your hungry, let's eat before we go, shall we?" I smiled
I ordered the food for the both of us, it's on me, I don't want the prince to treat me yet!
We ate together and after that we bid our goodbyes and separated our ways. He went back to the palace, and I went back to our new home.
