Two weeks after Marcellus managed to successfully hunt for the first time, they both decided that he was okay to go back to school.
"Ugh, do I really have to?" asked Marcellus with a downcast expression as he plopped down on the bed.
"Yes, people need to see you as normal as can be" said Alicia as she sat on the edge of the bed drinking the last blood bag.
"Fine, but you have to join the martial art club with me" sighed Marcellus as he got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready.
"Okay, but why do you even want to join the martial arts club?" asked Alicia in curiosity as she threw away the blood bag into the secret garbage can they have hidden under Marcellus' dresser.
"When I couldn't control my emotions as a fledgling, I challenged my once best friend, now mortal enemy to a fight" started Marcellus as he sighed.
"I can't very well go in there and announce, "I am a Vampire!" and easily beat him could I?" questioned Marcellus as he raised an eyebrow.
"..Yeah, that makes a little sense but why do I have to join?" asked Alicia, still unsure about her joining the club.
"If you join we can learn together, fight without holding back to human standards and most importantly, I might finally be better than you at something" explained Marcellus, notability excited about that last part.
"..." A vein popped out of Alicia's forehead at the last part of his sentence.
"You. Will. Never. Beat. Me!!!!" Alicia said slowly as she looked at Marcellus with a fire in her eyes.
How could she, a noble princess, back down from a challenge from a mere commoner? It just doesn't happen, okay?
"Oh, Well then, we will just have to see won't we?" challenged Marcellus as they both stood looking at the other with a desire to come out the victor.
As the duo got to the front of the school, Marcellus spotted Arthur, whom he hadn't talked to in 3 weeks. As they went over to Arthur, he spotted them with a surprised look on his face.
"Yo, long time no see" greeted Marcellus as he walked up to Arthur to give him a hug.
"..." A vein popped out of Arthurs forehead when he heard that. His best friend ghosts him for weeks and out of the blue greets him like nothing happened? Nononono, I don't think so?
As soon as Marcellus got close enough, he socked him right in the jaw!!!
However, as Marcellus was an avid drinker of human blood, bullets from a military grade sniper rifle wouldn't be able to pierce more than a few centimeters of his skin, how could a weak human child hurt him with his bare fists.
"OOWWW!!!" screamed Arthur as crouched and held his throbbing broken hand.
"Here drink this" sighed Marcellus as he held out a shot glass full of his blood. Where he got that, or why he has it is lost on even the author.
"Thanks" Arthur said in a seething breath, not from anger but from trying to suppress the pain. He took the glass and drank, what he assumed was a shot.
All of the sudden his broken hand began to heal and the pain disappeared like a dad—COUGH— like it never existed.
"How did you do that?!!" asked Arthur in a marvel, still rubbing his wrist in disbelief.
"It's too long of a story to tell right now, how about after M.A.C?" asked Marcellus as he wanted to tell his best friend about his experiences.
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Arthur, nor is it like he became an emo vampire who thinks he can't talk to Arthur because he is human. The problem was that he wanted to have fun with Arthur without wanting to eat him.
"What's M.A.C?" asked Arthur in confusion.
"Oh yeah, I am joining the martial arts club, so I can not make a fool of myself during my fight with Zachary" explained Marcellus with his usual smirk returning to his face.
Arthur heard that and didn't know what to think. First, his best friend had ghosted him but is now acting like nothing happened, when he might not even be human anymore!!! Second, He comes to school three weeks later like nothing happened talking with a beautiful girl. Thirdly and the main issue, Who the hell was this girl, who happened to be the hottest girl Arthur had seen?!!!
"Whos that by the way?" asked Arthur looking at Alicia as she stared at the two in amusement with her arms crossed.
Marcellus didn't say anything, just turned to Alicia.
"My name is Alicia Alucard, nice to meet you" said Alicia with a small smirk as she curtsied and introduced herself.
"She is the one who turned me into a vampire" said Marcellus as he lowered his tone, making sure only Alicia and Arthur could hear him.
!!! Both looked at Marcellus in bewilderment when he said that.
Meanwhile, Marcellus just looked at them with a dumbfounded look.
"What's wrong?" asked Marcellus when they both looked at him like that.
"She's the one who killed you and you brought her to a school full of humans?!!" inquired Arthur with an incredulous gaze.
"You told a human about the existence of vampires?!!" exclaimed Alicia in surprise. She then thought about it and facepalmed. She forgot to teach him nightingales laws.
"Yes, Alice didn't want to, nor did she mean to harm me. However, I don't think you would fully understand why because you're not a vampire." replied Marcellus to Arthur first. One problem at a time.
"Also, no I didn't, he figured out I was a fledgling and he gave me those blood bags" Marcellus said as he turned to Alicia.
"Anyway, we can all talk about this at a later date, we've got to get to class" said Marcellus as he started walking through the schools front doors.
"..Alright" Arthur just sighed and followed.
Alicia caught up to them and chided Marcellus.
"We need to talk about this soon, it might put us all in danger" said Alicia in a serious tone, not feeling too delighted about the future problems that could occur.
