*KNOCK KNOCK* "Marcel, Alicia, it's time for school, get up" Amanda said as she knocked on the door.
When the duo heard the knock they woke up to find that they were cuddling the other while sleeping.
"Hello?" Amanda said again, hearing no response.
At that point both of the teenagers were panicking, they both jumped up and rushed to get ready to hide their embarrassment.
"Bathroom!" Alicia mouthed as she pointed. When he went in Alicia put a blanket on the ground and got back into bed.
"I'm coming in" said Amanda as she opened the door to find that Alicia had woken up. "Where's Marcel? She asked seeing that he wasn't there.
"..He woke up a few minutes ago, he's getting ready first" stated Alicia as she lied through her fangs.
"Okay, well when you are both done, come have breakfast" said a smiling Amanda as she left.
As she left, Alicia went to close the room's door and opened the bathroom door.
"..."
"..."
"..We should—" started a blushing Marcellus as he scratched the back of his head and looked up.
"..go?" finished a blushing Alicia as they looked at each other again.
.....
After one very awkward breakfast, the duo went to Marcellus' school.
"So, are you sure it's ok to be around all of these humans?" asked Marcellus as he drank a 'slushie'.
"Nope, that's why I'm here, we are going to enroll me here and make sure your teachers don't have a problem with your absence" replied Alicia as she pushed up her imaginary glasses with a smug smile.
"How are we going to do that?" inquired a curious Marcellus.
"Mind Compulsion" replied Alicia with a small smile.
"Are you going to teach me how to use it?" asked an excited Marcellus.
Alicia nodded and as they got to the school's main office they asked to meet the principal.
"Watch and learn," said Alicia as they got to the meeting room with the principal.
"You need to believe everything you are saying. You need to push the suggestion into their minds and make it the main thing in there, watch" started explaining Alicia as she told Marcellus to stand where he could see the principal and her eyes.
As Marcellus got into a good position she started. Her eyes glowed crimson as she looked directly into the principal's eyes.
"You received the papers and transcripts of the new female student named Alicia Alucard. You will stay quiet and still as we are talking" said Alicia with a smile as she walked backwards for a few steps.
"Now your turn, I don't know your classes, so you need to make him think we have all of the same ones" said Alicia as she turned to face Marcellus.
"Okay, huu, let's do this" muttered Marcellus to himself as he did a little shake to get ready.
"The new student, Alicia Alucard, has Mrs. Jackal for fir—" as Marcellus was listing his classes he fell into a sort of trance himself as his eyes glowed a similar crimson to Alicias.
"So, how do we know it worked?" asked Marcellus with slightly ragged breaths.
"Don't worry, it will take less energy the more you do it, it's not so exhausting every time" explained Alicia as she went to the principal again.
"Student Marcellus Mckinley volunteered to show the new student to her classes and you came over to welcome her. Also, there are no marked absences for these two if they aren't at school. Forget we had this conversation" Alicia said as she exhaled a breath and sat down with Marcellus.
"3..2..1 and" started Alicia as she held up her hand to count down and, as if on cue, the principal came back from the dead.
"Ah, hello Alicia, I hope you enjoy your tour. Thank you, Marcellus, for showing her around." said the principal as he left the room to yell at kids for wearing hats inside the building.
"Well, you heard him, show me your classes, Marcel," said Alicia with a small laugh.
"Yes ma'am" replied Marcellus with his usual smirk.
They then went to all of Marcellus' classes and did the same thing. Marcellus wouldn't be able to control himself around all those people so school isn't safe at the moment. Afterwards, they left to goof around all day.
After they got home and had dinner with Amanda they waited for her to go to sleep so that they could start their hunt.
"Okay, I'll demonstrate first then you'll go" said Alicia.
"You want to find someone alone, or someone you can easily get alone with," explained Alicia.
She then walked into a store and came back 5 minutes later with a guy. They went to the alley she left Marcellus in and Alicia continued explaining.
"So, now that I have the target you could say I completed the first part of the hunt, SNATCH" said Alicia as she held the guy's mouth so he couldn't scream or get away.
"The next part is to EAT. Now, to not kill the target you need to carefully listen to their heart beat. When they stop struggling and their heart rate slows down, you need to stop or you risk killing them" explained Alicia as she let her vampire face come out.
"Listen to the heartbeat as I feed, okay?" asked Alicia as she got close to the guy's neck.
"Okay, I'll try," replied Marcellus with an uncertain tone.
Alicia started feeding as Marcellus tried to focus his hearing. To him, it felt like taking off headphones and hearing 100 girl bands screaming into his ears.
He put his hands up to his ears to block the noise but it didn't work. Then, without any of the three noticing, red lightning flashes started to spin in Marcellus' eyes. As this happened, Marcellus' perception of the motion around him started to slow down. Slowly the noises got drowned out by the sound of his breathing and the crackling sound of lightning.
Not understanding what just happened to him, he tried to focus on what he did know. Hearing only two sounds that were more background sounds than the main focus, he tried to focus on the guy Alicia was eating. And he managed to hear it. The heartbeat!!!
What actually happened was that Marcellus' inner speed also makes his brain process information faster and longer giving him a rare condition called hyperthymesia. His reaction time is also improved, making all of these events take place in just 1 second after Alicia started feeding.
As he heard the guy's heart beat slow, he told Alicia that managed to hear it.
"You were a little early with the timing but not bad for your first time" replied Alicia in a voice dripping with euphoria, as she had a satisfied smile on her face.
"Now that you have had your fill, you want to complete the last part of the hunt. You would use mind Compulsion to make them forget ever meeting you and send them on their way. ERASE" said Alicia as she did everything she just said.
"Also, a neat trick, our blood can heal human wounds, which means that we can erase the proof that he was even bitten" said Alicia as she bit her thumb and rubbed the blood on the bite mark on the guy's neck.
After she wiped off the blood, the guy went back to his life, none the wiser, except Marcellus of course.
"Now, your turn" Alicia said as she smirked.
