It was the typical start to a normal day for Vlad. His alarm clock went off and he applied the sunscreen he'd need to get through the day along with his normal gothic get up. Stumbling downstairs like a zombie he made his way to the table where Nelly had all ready heated up a bag of blood for him. Vlad sucked it down immediately and went to the freezer to get another.
"Another, Vlad? There's only a couple left!" Nelly complained when she saw him digging around in the freezer.
"Yes another!" He said as he grabbed one and stuck it in the microwave. He stood by the microwave and waited for it to be done. Once it beeped he snatched the bag and ripped into it, fangs fully elongated.
"Slow down! Your going to stain your clothes!" Nelly scolded. She grabbed the bag fom him and dropped it in the bio-hazard bin under the sink. "You better get to school" she said as she looked up at the clock "or you'll be late"
"OK, See you Nelly" Vlad said as he grabbed his backpack. He jogged to the front door to make it seem as if he wanted to go to school, but once on the porch he slowed to a steady walk, and on the way met up with Henry.
"Hey man!" Henry said
"Hi" Vlad said still sleepy from his late night. They walked to school in almost complete silence, since Henry could sense Vlad wasn't really in the mood to talk. They arrived at Bathory high within ten minutes, the whole school seemed to be buzzing about a new student. A girl.
"I wonder if she's hot." Henry said immediately, checking his hair as he spoke.
"Who cares?" Vlad said as he spotted Meredith, his secret crush. Just then they heard a insane yell and a petite girl was running around the school grounds with a giant bamboo stick!
"What the hell?" Henry yelled as she ran past. His eyes wide with confusion and fear. "Is she the new girl?"
"I guess so!" Vlad said with amusement catching the girl's arm as she ran past "What the fuck is that?" He asked pointing to the large bamboo stick covered in a twirling pattern of black duct tape.
The girl said very quietly, "What do you think it is?" She looked around in all directions making sure no one was about to attack or something.
"I have no clue" replied Vlad in the same voice the girl had used "That's why I'm asking"
"It's a ninja stick, silly!" She said yanking her arms from his grip "Danger is everywhere you know" She glared at him for a moment as if making sure he wasn't about to pull something, then ran off.
"What was that about?" Henry whispered to Vlad as they entered the building.
"I'm not sure, but I think she may know something most people don't" Vlad said in a hushed voice as a group of jocks passed by.
Henry's eyes widened "You don't mean..?"
"Yeah…I think she knows about that kind of stuff" Vlad sighed barely audible "But not in a slayer kind of way, more like bad experience"
