Aiden
I waited for Sebastian as Janet got in Dad's car. She's finally going back home. I begged her to stay one more week but she said she couldn't take my off-key singing in the shower plus the Transportation would cost her. I'm going to miss her a lot but going to my first period that is English will be even more hard. Mrs Williams died Thursday night while coming home from work.
She was such a great teacher to all of us. Sure she was sassy but still she had our hearts. I was her favorite student. "aren't you glad that we won't have English class until they find a new one," Michael from my history class asked leaning against the lockers as I put my backpack in. "which will be in like a week."
I sniffle as I finally look at him. "Hey, that's not very kind to say about a deceased person," Sebastian spoke up and the rude person chuckled looking at my friend. "And who are you supposed to be," he looks at me with knitted brows. "His boyfriend, I see you moved on from Scott. A white boy who has a European accent. I thought you were a snow bunny."
I squint my eyes at him as I walk away. "Are teenagers really this disrespectful in America?" Sebastian asked as he put his arms around my neck. I felt flustered but hid it using my notebook as a cover. I look through the glass square at the top of the door seeing Mr Goldberg the history teacher sitting at the desk crying but stop as soon as I turned the knob.
"hey boys, there's no class today because you know." He never looked at me as he held his head down the entire time. "Yeah I got the news 8 hours after she passed plus that little boy that got a crush oh god imagine what his parents are feeling." I felt myself about to cry as Sebastian rubbed my back. I look at him with watery eyes.
"that little boy was my nephew his name was Jonathan and would've been 6 years old today." Sebastian gasped and went to the teacher and hugged him as he sobbed. Everyone especially Sebastian was crying. An emotional mess. All of us spent the whole period talking about good times with Mrs Williams. "And then she held a class party for the ones that passed, once you didn't get an invite you know you failed." I wheezed. "So you passed?" Sebastian asks with confusion.
"yeah, and I had a whole box of pizza for myself. Now that's on being a teacher's pet." I wipe away the stained tears. "Mrs Williams will always be remembered as that woman with confidence, determination, integrity, and wisdom not to mention knowledge." Mr Goldberg said as the bell went off.
"hey don't we have you next?" I ask and he nods before leaving. "I have math." Sebastian frowns but dabs me before leaving for his class. I rushed to mine but only 8 students were there. I guess not many of us are in a learning mood.
Janet
Since it was my first day back they didn't give me much work. Some co-workers gossip about me being a lonely bitch all over again, while the others gave their condolences. They knew Quinn because he'd always pick me up for lunch since he worked a couple of buildings from mine or he would just bring me a cup of coffee with a cookie container but I'd always leave the coffee for later because my bowels can misbehave after one sip.
"How long were you two together for again?" my co-worker Sarah asked taking my hand into hers. "24 hours literally." I chuckled sadly as she sighed heavily. "I'm so sorry Janet. I knew you wish it was you." Her voice got deeper as my breath hitched and I snatch my hands away from her.
"What's wrong?" she looked just as shocked as I was which meant I was hallucinating again. Instead of saying anything I started crying. I felt her arms wrapped around me comforting me.
When I was done and on my way home Sarah offered me a lift. We had a little talk about my weirdness this morning, apologizing for it. "I understand, you're still in shock." I smiled as she took the words right out of my mouth. I arrived at my house just as a man stepped off my porch. "Ahem!?" I cleared my throat as I got out. "Oh, now that you're here I can tell you in person." He smirked menacingly.
"It's been a week since your electrical bill was mailed to you so why haven't you paid it yet? You usually pay 2 days after. What happened?"
I growl and snatch the bill out of his hand. "Fuck you!" I practically pushed him out of my way and thanked Sarah who looked at me with sorry eyes. Just when my life wouldn't get any worse.

Gabriel
I went back to the lab after Simon said it was urgent. "what happened?"
"The blood we tested on Quinn Turner was werewolf blood look remember the sample you gave us from Brazil?" He ask looking into the microscope. "yeah what about it?" He looks at me. "They're identical." My blood went cold as I now realized the people of America might be in danger only until the full moon in 10 days if he woke up.
"How did it get in his system if it killed him? I watched that grave digger get mauled to death by Prince Valkan and he didn't come back."
"True but if you think about it probably he isn't even dead he's just sleeping."
"Then we'll have to warn them someway, somehow-
Suddenly Maria comes in. " Gabriel I went to Transylvania yesterday to find the wolf man and I found him but he was dead washed up on the shore which means there has to be another monster hunter like you."
"How come I'm just hearing about this, why isn't it all over the news?"
"Because I'm the only one who found him. It was dark so I brought him back with me. Henry bring him in!" She backed away as Henry rolled in a stretcher. I hesitantly unzip the body bag and see a familiar face. This man was wanted in literally all of Europe like myself but he was a criminal a thief at that.
"He's the wolf man we've been searching for? How did this even happen?" I'm so confused about why there was even a werewolf to begin with. Who started this all over again?
"I guess we'll never know. My best guess is a witch is in Romania and she's causing chaos."
Gheata
They're so close but yet so far and I'm not the prime suspect. Anoka is. She's my sister's greatest granddaughter who is so inspired by me she had to do dark magic as well. Plenty of times she tried to summon me to do her dirty work but I'd already summoned myself and it was all little Dracula's fault. If it wasn't for him trying to bring his mother's dead ashes back to life I would've been stuck in hell bound to Satan who unfortunately is my husband. I lived in his shadows and now I'm my demon lord without the demons.
I don't like taking or giving orders I just want to be solo with the son of a vampire lord himself. Dracula was my very first love but he's the one who betrayed me so I killed his wife when he was off to battle. He thought it was suicide because I made it look like that.
Sebastian was my second chance to control and feel alive again.
"Mother." I snap out of my thoughts as Sebastian suddenly appears in front of me. "Yes, dear?"
"Never mind you're going to say no." He turns to walk off but I grab his wrist firmly but loosened my grip when I saw how shocked he was. "Sorry," I put on a calming smile. "What's wrong?"
"Everyone's going to Mrs Williams's funeral and.." He trails off and I smirked realizing he wants to go because of Aiden. I don't know why trust this human so much. "you want to go?"
He brightens up and nods. I tilt my head. "Why?"
"Because, because.. I roll my eyes, annoyed. "Aiden's going, why do you trust him so much? It's almost as if you love him more than me. Sebastian, I was there from the beginning of your life," I began to raise my voice with anger as I stood up tall. He steps back until he bumps into the wall. "BUT AIDEN, YOU JUST FUCKING MET HIM AND HE'S YOUR NUMBER ONE NOW!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME YOU WOULD'VE DIED WITH YOUR FATHER!!!" My demon voice slipped out and when I realized Sebastian's eyes were about to explode with tears I stopped myself.
"Seb-
He ran off. "You witch!" A faint voice said, and I smirked, knowing it was his real mother. "What's wrong, Lucy?"
"You made him cry, and I don't like seeing my son sad."
"Well, that's too bad, isn't it? Because you're no longer here, which means I'm his mom, and you should leave." The place went silent, indicating she was gone.
Sebastian
What was that? Why was her voice so deep? I don't remember my mother's voice being deep but then again she's a vampire and my dad did have a strong voice when he got angry. My mind wandered off to Aiden and how he's coping with the loss of Mrs Williams. I find it strange that she died right after being rude to me.
It couldn't be my mom because she was here the whole time I saw her sleeping in her room but she was also speaking a different language with a murmur. I paid it no mind because this is my life.
Flashback
I rolled my eyes and stepped outside. Good thing the sun was down or I would've been ashes in seconds. As I closed my mother's door a dark shadow hovered over me. "Hello." My father stooped to my level and looked at me showing me his fangs hoping I would be afraid but instead, I was fascinated, touching it. Shocked by this he stood up and the door flew open. My mom was looking for me and met eyes with him. They both were shocked to see each other.
He flew away and my mom dragged me back into the house. "What happened?" the barmaid asked worriedly. "Count Dracula is outside don't go outside." The guest gulped in fear and stayed until Dracula left the village.
End of flashback
I remember a time with I met my dad. It was a cloudy day he'd enjoying hunting and we bumped into each other. He gave me a weird look that turned into terror. I never asked my mother why they weren't together but she said she was the other woman.
I wish I had him here. I miss him even though I never met him properly.

Flashback
Quinn was choking on his blood. "Oh god it hurts so fucking bad," he grunts and janet sobbed while examining his wounds. His neck, chest, right arm, torso and crotch are were ripped up. "Stay with me okay don't fall asleep." His eyes were shutting down slowly. "I love-" then he went limp. Her eyes widen when she realize he's dead. "Quinn baby please wake up no no please wake up!!!" she practically screamed like it would've helped.
End of flashback.
Quinn
I open my eyes only to find myself in more darkness. Where am I? Why is the space so small? Why am I in a tuxedo? This is the one I wore to my prom. It still fits? This feels like a box. Where's janet, Justin and kayla. Did janet make it? Did I make it out ? Where's everyone? This place is too still. Wait am I in a coffin? I feel around a bit confirming that I am in fact in a wooden casket?
I died? No, because if I didn't I wouldn't have been asking this question. I was buried alive. Why would someone do that? Quickly I started punching the wood until I heard a crack. I thought I was finally out as I opened the door seeing nothing but darkness. "Ugh c'mon!" I screamed and lie back down in the casket.
"need some help?" A woman's voice spoke making me snap back up. "Who's that?"
"Lucy."
