First actual day at this new school called Silver Creak Academy. I'm trailing behind the principal with Scout a good distance from me. What's gotten into him? His been rather distant from me lately; guess he found a special someone. I wonder who his Luna is?!
We were passing by a group of vampires, and a brunet (male version of brunette) stood out from the poorly dyed haired vamps.
"Hey, Phantom Claw!" I say.
The group stops and turns towards me. The familiar brunet made his way towards the front and stared at me for a second in confusion.
"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" He asked.
He doesn't recognise me? I went to reintroduce myself, but the principal cut in instead. And he says,
"Phantom, I see you've met half of the patrol committee!"
"Who's the other half?" He asked.
Scout stepped forward and did an Alpha werewolf thing. He puffed his chest out and spoke.
"Me. I'm Olivia's partner. My names Scout Aaron." He spoke.
And he did something that not only pissed off Ratar and I. But the vampires too looked disgusted with his actions. He circle his arms around my waist and held me to his chest. Where the hell is this coming from; possessive much, from some dog who's been distant from me lately.
"Oh! Now I remember you Olivia. It was so dark out last night, I didn't see what you looked like." He spoke to me.
Bull. You vamps have night vision. You're just trying to act all high and mighty with your buddies around.
"But then again, why weren't you with her last night? She was cornered, and I ended up coming to her rescue!" Is he trying to start a fight?
The vampires made a hissing sound that sounded like laughter. The Alpha growled; and before they could start banging their chests and bickering the principal gave me a nod. And I snuck away to shift!
'AnOtHer pRaNk aYe??!!' Ratar asked.
He got my grin as a response. I shifted into the adult version, since my first shifted form is slowly fading away. I came out of hiding, and I went through the wall and prepared my prank. I came out of hiding. Thankfully, since I was in spirit form, the vamps and Alpha won't see me. I blew on the back of Scout's neck, he shivered.
Next, I went up to Phantom and brushed up against his back. He stumbled forward and looked behind him. Then shrugged and continued to fuel the argument. I went back to Scout and brushed my thick and fluffy tail against him, he just shooed away at my tail with his hand. Since I played with them a little. I decided to stand off to the side, and the three of us made a little triangle. I then made myself visible like the first time I showed Scout my form. And even yet, I wasn't noticed.
Sure, they could see me if they were looking. But I was untouchable because I'm still spirit. I also have the power to become fully a spirit which means the can't see, hear, feel or sense my presence! I stood for probably three minutes watching them argue. Phantom's group of vampire friends noticed me and looked at the principle. Who in turn gave me a nod to break this up.
Rooooaaaar
Scout and Phantom's head swung towards me in a flash. As soon as Scout noticed it was me, he turned bright red from embarrassment. But since the vampires don't know what I am, they looked like they were reading to attack me. They observed me; and the principal threw me my uniform. I shifted in front of them. And since my shift is so confusing to the eyes, they wouldn't be able to describe what they saw. I stood unimpressed where the wolf once was in my uniform. My tattoo's and glowing eyes on full display. Immidiately, all eyes were on me.
"tHaT gOt yOuR aTteNtIoN!" I said, then glance at the principal who was grinning ear to ear mischievously.
"A spirit wolf!" A vampire gasped.
"And a Demon!" Another muttered.
"Impossible." Says a vampire.
Phantom stared at me in shock.
"dO I LooK iMpoSsIbLe tO yOu bLoOd sUckErs!" My eyes turned black and the vamps stepped back.
"Hello Ratar, how's the insults going?" Scout joked.
"zIp iT mUtT!" Ratar snarled.
"You do realize you're in the same body as a 'mutt' right Ratar?" Scout's tone was dripping with attitude.
"yOu mUtTs nEveR kEep yOur sNouTs sHut, Do yOu?" Ratar asked.
"Not when the Blood sucker are around!" Scout glared at them.
"nOw, nOw bOyS, wE doN't waNt fUr, bLoOd, faNgS and ClaWs oN tHe fiRst dAy. pLus YoU bLooD sUcKeRs aRe tO bE aWaY from tHe hUmAns." Ratar warns.
He then gives me control back, and the vamps and Alpha are glaring daggers at each other.
"I think is best if we continue, Scout and Sir!" I spoke loudly.
"Yes, we shall." the principal says.
I grab the scruff of Scout's shirt and proceed to drag him along with us; and away from the blood thirsty eyes of the vampire that are out for blood, but not just any. Scouts blood.
"See you around Olivia!" Phantom says as his crew and him turn and walk away as nothing had happened.
"Ignorant blood sucking Demonic creatures." Scout cursed under his breath but Ratar caught him.
"lAngUaGe oR i'Ll sTaRt cAlLinG yOu mUtTs oUt iN pUbLic " He hissed.
"My apologies Ratar, and Olivia!" I released his arm, I sped up and tried to keep pace with the principal.
"Sir, where are we headed?" I asked.
"You two may call me Venom or Vex it is up to you!"
"Ok Vex, but what are you? I have always wondered."
"I'm a howler, you won't know what that is, because my kind goes way back to the beginning of creation!"
'kEeP yOuR gUaRd uP, tElL sCoUt tHe sAmE wHeN yOu gEt tHe chAnce!' Ratar said in a cold voice.
' sTaY aWaY fRoM hIm aS mUcH aS yOu cAn oLivIA!' He says.
'But-'
'NO, JUST STAY AWAY FROM HIM !' Ratar yelled
I nodded and was brought back with a hand waving in my face. I blinked a couple times then caught the wrist in a tight grip.
"Excuse us, I would like to talk to Scout alone. About patrols!" I lied.
"Go ahead-" I grabbed Scouts wrist and yanked him after me.
I went down the hall a little, until Ratar stopped me and stepped forward.
" nOw iS nOt tHe tIme fOr quEstIonS, lEt cOyotE foRwArd nOw!"
"Wow, if you missed me that much you don't have to be so dead serious to get me out." The Alpha's inner wolf was present and Scout was pushed back.
"THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKES OR SARCASM." Dark energy seemed to hover around us.
The wolf freaked.
"SettLe dOwN "
"What's going on then ?"
"sTaY aWaY fRoM VEnOm/VeX!"
"Why, I actually think the guy's cool!"
"A mUtT liKe yOu woUldn'T undErsTand tHe daMagE theIr kInD caN iNfLiCt." Radar hissed
"Their kind?"
Suddenly I took over again and I finally understood, the dark energy left immediately, just as it came.
"Their kind. They go crazy; and they have no control. Their kind prey on flesh no matter how much they believe they can tame the beast within them. And once the beast is out, you can't shove it back in. Once it's out, it has to be stopped by ending its life, and that's a hard thing to do. You can tell if the beast is out by: the crazed look in the eye, if it barely blinks, stares at you with hunger. It's mouth is always grinning showing their teeth. The easiest way to describe it, is they look as if they've gone mad. And the worst part is keeping the hunger and beast at bay. Every month the creature has to eat a virgin soul. Something about it being young, pure and innocent." I trailed off.
"We don't know the last time he ate a virgin soul." I spoke quietly.
"Two things. First, this is probably the reason he has us on patrol. And second, we could ask around if students or professors have gone missing."
"Why don't you start with your vampire boyfriend!" He says.
I stared at him shocked, then burst into laughter. He looked away.
"What's so funny?"
"You do realize, I don't have a boyfriend, Phantom's simply a new ally in this school, and the only reason I knew him was from his rescue last night during patrol. I caught two teenage girls from the day class snooping around spying on the vampires!" I say.
He looks uncomfortable now. I give him a pat on the shoulder and a reassuring smile.
"But, from now on we, patrol together!" I confirm.
And then I walk back to the room Vex was in. As soon as he seen me, he shoved his desk drawer shut in a panicked motion.
"Everything alright now?" He asked.
"Just a little misunderstanding; but nothing we could solve." I say.
"I have a question!"
"Fire away!" He smirked.
"Uh, actually I forgot. Anyways, I have stuff to do still." I left his office, and decided to head to my dorm.
