"Is this my new home?" I asked the principal beside me who I would live with and two others that I would be sharing a home with.
"Yes you will be staying with me and my orphans" The principal stared at me through her round golden glasses, "You will also my dear child be helping them protect your day class mates from the night class at my school that I run" the head or my new guardian
"So the night class are vampires...right that's normal."I whispered the head could hear me but she didn't say anything, just looked ahead at the house we were coming towards, the smell of promising dinner, it made me hungry.
"And one more thing you must not mention the word vampire around Zero." The head said before we reached the door of the small house, unaware of that I was being watched by those who wanted to harm me.
The head knocked on the door quietly, not wanting to raise any suspicion to the other ones who wanted to quench themselves with my blood.
Little did I know that I will die later, in an altar, but I needed to first prove myself to them? What I didn't know was that I was judged by them from the very start, the head knocked on the door and a young guy with light grey hair opened the door.
He looked quite mad, he looked straight through me and shrugged, "So who's this then?" The guy questioned the head, "Let's go inside" the head ignored his question and ushered me inside, the guy shut the door behind us.
I pulled off my hood, the hood was keeping me safe from the vampires out there, and "Who is she?" the second person, and "She is a nobody, like you. She is staying with us for a few weeks to hide from the others. They want her dhampir blood for their ritual that will be soon."
"So you're a damphir? Haven't seen one of them for a long time, they are pretty cool though shifting through both the human and vampire world" Zero or who this guy I told was by the head, "It sucks though, I feel I am trapped between one world and the next never happily satisfied in either." I promted him, he didn't know what was it like to be this way.
"Yeah I know it sucks" He responed, "Do you, really?" I said sarcastically, "I am too trapped here, I am trying not to kill you or take your blood for the ritual, which I am supposed too." He said drastically.
"What are you and how do you know of the ritual?" I asked hanging my cape on the nearest peg, he came closer to me, "Because of this." Zero whispered showing me what looked like a tattoo on his sholder.
"Meal time!" The head called warmly, I smiled and ducked from under his out stretched arm that was pushed against the wall, "You're not going to eat me are you?" I whispered near him, "Maybe in the middle of the night." He jokingly whispered, laughing at my scared expression.
We all eat dinner in silence, I avoided eye contact with him, I cleaned away the dishes and went to bed, "Night" He called up the stairs as I reached the top "You too." I called down the stairs.
I slept but I kept having nightmares of them, I could feel something brush my exposed hand, I opened my eyes, "Don't worry get back to sleep." A boy's voice whispered near my ear breathing cold air down my neck.
Why does he scare me so much? Tomorrow I am going to find out why he was near me.
