I wonder if I have a dorm mate? I headed to the second floor. Nice, second flour out of eight. I walked down the hall and stop in front of number Four.
Knock, knock, knock
I didn't get an answer, silence greeted me. So I decided to push open the door.
CREEEEAAAAK
The room was empty. Two empty beds were up in the air. It reminded me of a bunk bed, only the bottom bunks were removed and instead had desks and shelves filling in the space.
' lOokS lIkE yOuR gOnNa hAvE tO tHrow yOuR sTufF uNdeR tHe bEd!' Ratar said.
'What stuff exactly?' I asked him.
Because in reality all I had was my uniform, cloak and whatever I had on my when I arrived at the hotel. My other stuff was gone because of that Minotaur accident.
'lOoK oN tHe bEd mAyBe!" He said like a smart aleck.
I spun on my heels and looked on the beds. Two gifts, one Red and Black, the other was White and Gold. I looked and seen my name on one of the cards, if I was to pay attention I would have known who my dorm mate was. I opened the card first and read aloud,
"Dear, Olivia, Silver Creaks Academy has been informed about the run in with the Minotaur and your housing issue. So we have provided you with your housing needs, in the closet is all your uniforms, foot wear and hygiene equipment. The kitchen is stacked with food for you and your roommate (and the school will keep it stocked), you share a bathroom with your dorm mate. As you have already heard what your patrolling duties are; curfew was an issue that was not mentioned to you. The day class has to be in their dorms by 9:30 PM, and the night class is to be in their dorms by 1:10 AM. Day class starts at 8:05 AM and goes till 1:10 PM, the night class starts at 10 Pm and goes till 1 AM. You and your shifting companions may go to either class. Or you could just patrol, just don't forget your patrol duties. You are relieved of patrol tonight, I have two vamps doing so.
Signed by Vex." I trail off as I Finished reading.
I opened the present and magic of course, the easiest way to describe the inside of the gift was that the bottom could not be seen, the inside was bigger than the actual size of the present. The first thing I pulled out was a textbook for the night class, the title said 'Supernatural Discoveries'. Sounds interesting! I jumped down the ladder of my new bed and put the book on the shelf. I unpacked that 'little' gift. It took me thirty minutes to get everything out. And oh boy, there's no way all of that would fit in a normal gift bag. I was just looking and trying out some of the weapons that were in my present. But then I heard a sound behind me. I whirled around and held my new weapon at their throat.
"At least your always on guard." A masculine voice joked.
I looked at the male who was leaning against the door frame with a staff at his throat. He was unnerved at the possible threat.
"Scout!" I say surprised and lower my weapon.
"Why you so surprised?" He asked.
"Oh, maybe the fact your actually talking and being nice to me. Or possibly the fact that you put on your big boy panties and decided to not avoid me!" I say sarcastically.
He stayed silent.
"I'll be back!" I say and head out the window.
THUMP
Jumping from the window sill, I pulled myself upwards. And eventually found myself on the rooftops of the dormitories. Running along the rooftops, I got lost in thought.
Ok, yeah! I know Vex said he had patrol covered but to be honest I don't trust him. And also I needed to get out of there and do something to distract me. So here I am patrolling the perimeter and so far there is no sign that anyone else is patrolling. I stop on top a building and look out at the school yard, it's so quiet and peaceful tonight. Nothing like last night.
The roof I was on right now had a flat base in one area. That showed that the room below has a lower ceiling and a few metres from me the roof has a diagonal shape indicating the roof is higher.
Suddenly I was grabbed from behind and slammed against the slanted roof.
"State your name and business!" The voice commanded.
The male held my hands behind my pack pinning my upper body. I smirked and kicked backwards hitting him where the sun don't shine, he fell to his knees and groaned in pain. I pushed him down and pinned him in every correct spot. Hands over their head, one hand to his neck keeping his head from moving , and I sat on his stomach, and locked me legs so he couldn't move.
"wHaT's yOuR nAmE aNd bUsinEsS ?" I mocked.
"Wait. Olivia, is that you?" A familiar voice asked.
My eyes widened in recognition,
"Phantom?"
"Do you mind letting go?" He asked.
I immediately released him and got up, I helped him up too.
"Vex said you and Scout were unpacking and needed a night off so a friend of mine and I decided to help out. What are you doing?" He asked.
'avoiding people.'
"Thanks. But I finished unpacking early, and found that I needed some fresh air. So here I am." I explained.
"Oh." Was all he said.
Before anything else could happen. I heard something and it caught my attention, so I spun on my heels and began heading towards it. I began to run towards the sound and I could hear Phantom yelling behind me but I ignored him and thought only one thing.
I needed Scout!
I skidded to a stop meters from the edge of a rooftop and spun around, I grabbed Phantom by the scruff of his collar and pulled him to my face.
"RePeaT afTer mE tO scOuT!"
He stared at me frightened and wide eyed as he nodded.
"Clock 2 role, eye ear signal." I let him go and then I ran off towards the sound.
The sound began to get louder as I neared.
" Virgin soul..."
"I am a Howler....."
"sTaY aWay fRom hIm...."
" wArN sCouT....."
"Take tonight off...."
I shook my head as the thoughts enteredmy mind. I landed in a tree and a gasp broke out from the branch beside me. My head snapped in the direction of the gasp, and I saw a female vampire !
She was pretty and she wore the same uniform as me. she had dark brown, loose, long hair. Her eyes were grass green. I gave her a reassuring smile and hopped to another tree. There on the ground was a dead female, and exactly who I expected to be here.
I hopped down and he turned towards me and spoke.
"The one night I give you off, and you don't even take it. How disappointing."
"About what?" Even though I knew the answer, hearing it come from his mouth made me feel less guilty for what would happen at the end of this fight.
"nOw i hAvE tO kiLl yOu oLivIa lUpuS-lYcAn!" He spoke in in an animalistic voice.
We started to attack one another, and once I was close to winning. Something happened that I never knew could be possible, I could feel the shock hit Ratar hard. The Howler did what it got it's name from, it howled. And no, it wasn't a howl you would have ever heard, no animal would make such a horrible sound. The howl caused me to drop my staff and cover my ears and squeeze my eyes shut for a moment. When I opened them I was surrounded by more Howlers, how was that even possible. I thought he was the only one!
One of the howlers pounced and I didn't have enough time to grab my staff to defend myself. My eyes refused to close as I awaited the blow. But it never came, instead a ball of black fur blurred through my vision.
"Scout!" I shouted in Happiness.
"Clever code by the way Olivia. Confusing but very clever!" He praised.
I gave him a grin. And he nodded to my staff, I instantly understood and grabbed it. I stared running backwards away from Scout. Suddenly I stop dead in my tracks and run full force at Scout. I was feet from him when I yelled,
" Did anyone order an an attack!"
Scout spun and threw me in the air, I flipped and did and ax stomp. (For those who don't know what an ax stomp is, it's a hand to hand combat move with your leg high in the air and you bring it down and attack anywhere) I hit the nearest Howler knocking then unconscious, then snapped the Howler's neck.
It took awhile, but we had finally killed every howler but one. Vex still stood very much alive and unharmed.But I finally had him between my legs locked onto a position that looked as if I was giving him a head lock with my legs. He was struggling, and yet I was still winning, he started tapping the ground.
"Sir, this isn't a tap out you can't just tap the ground when you give up, this is a matter of life and death." I told him.
He continued tapping and I glanced at Scout to see him shaking his head and he even mouthed a 'no'.
"It's either stop struggling or we kill you Sir."
I guess he already knew we had to kill him anyways because he gave another howl and this one caused my to loose my footing and he bit me. I screamed my lungs out, even when he stopped howling because I let him go. My vision began to blur. I stood up and stumbled, he bit my dominant leg. And it started bleeding !
"Your blood has a strange taste to it and I like it!" He sounded psycho.
He had lost his mind, we have to kill him we can't let him go either.
"Virgin soul too, tasty!" He grinned a grin only a Howler could contain, he ran off into the forest.
"Stay put!" Scout says and before I could state my opinion he was gone, but I spoke aloud anyways, unbeknownst to me two sets of ears heard my response.
"Like Hell I will. You know me better than that!" I ripped a part of my sleeve and wrapped it around my ankle.
That should stop the bleeding for now, it'll give me enough time to kill this principal. I ran after them, I used the branches like a child would with monkey bars. Finally when I caught up to them, Scout was pinned by the psycho. The Howler was inches from his final attack; as if I would let that happen.
"IIIIIIIII cannnnn smelllllll yourrrrrrr innocennnnnnt blooooooood!" He hissed.
I immidiately dropped from the branch and my whole body slammed into the psycho principal.
"gEt yOuR fIlThy cLaWs oFf hIm!" I yelled.
The Howler was slammed into the ground. I rolled off him and stopped in front of Scout. but he got up. Climbing on top of Scout he e starts spinning so fast my hair was whirling in the air. Out of the blue I let go of him and I'm sent flying int the howlers direction. I angle myself the way I should be to prevent me from getting injured. I pencil dived at the Howler and once My feet connect with his chest it sends him right were I planned to put him.
Right through a sword; a sword that Phantom was holding. Once he pierced through the sword Phantom gasped.
"What the actual Hell Olivia?!" He screamed at me as I got up.
" He went psycho killer and tried to kill me and Scout. He already killed one virgin soul tonight, plus the other howlers we killed. He was a goner no matter what anyone could have done!" I fired back at him because I was out of patience and adrenaline
My body practically said ' I'm done' and collapsed. But before I could hit the ground I felt warm arms catch me. A scent I was all too familiar with flooded my nose; and I instantly knew who caught me. My saviour, my friend, and my partner. It was none other that Scout who caught me!
And I don't remember what happened next because darkness and pain took me under. If I could see the cloth on my leg that was covering my wound. I knew it would be stained in blood, probably even worse. So more like drenched in my blood, but forgetting that, I'm tired. Goodnight!
