Haley James.
Most people call her unusual.
And most people will agree.
She was born with this gift, extraordinary gift to fight the forces of darkness.
She's the chosen one.
"Haley, be good," Lydia snickers, gripping her hands tightly on the stirring wheel.
"I'll try," smiles Haley, opening the car's door to exit.
"New school, new beginning," said Lydia, trying not to sound too pushy.
"Mother, I get it, no trouble, now go!" Haley whines.
Lydia nods her head and then quickly drives off. Haley stood there, looking at her new school, Tree Hill High. School looks nice. People seem nice. Eh, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I won't get kicked out after first period, Haley thought.
***
First period.
"Good morning class, my name is Mr. Hargrove and I'll be your History teacher," he said.
"Wow, school has gotten a lot more interesting," said Brooke as the girls in her class squeal in agreement.
"Miss Davis, can you care to reiterate what you said? I mean it must be important since you have taken out some time to interrupt my class," said Mr. Hargrove, who shot his student a look.
"Your ridiculously hot," Brooke shares, twirling her hair and smiles.
The class hollers.
"Miss Davis, that was inappropriate. Now you can excuse yourself to the principal's office," Mr. Hargrove said without a hint of hesitation.
"Thanks for the treat, Andy. The principal is hot too," said Brooke, winking at her teacher.
"It's Mr. Hargrove to you, Brooke," he said as he shows Brooke to the door.
"Bye, hot stuff," whispers Brooke.
"Goodbye Miss Davis," said Mr. Hargrove as he closes the door behind her. "Okay, class, sorry about that, shall we----"
Before Mr. Hargrove could say anymore, there was a horrendous scream coming from the hallway.
"There's my queue, I knew it's too good to be true. Five minutes of peace is all I ask for. Is it too much?" Haley whispers under her breath. Before Haley can finish processing her thoughts, some guy comes and yanks her by the arm.
"Let's go!" said the guy.
"Okay, that hurt!" Haley shouts. "What's your deal?"
"Lucas," said the guy, still holding onto Haley's arm.
"So are you a monster or mortal?" Haley questions.
"What?" Lucas asks in confusion, still holding onto Haley's arm.
"There are monsters who's name is Lucas, you know," said a cherry Haley. "Okay, you can stop with the whole protecting thing. I can protect myself."
"Look, there's blood," Lucas points at the ground.
"Smells familiar," said Haley, knowing these crime scenes too well. "Lucas right? Umm, go grab some garlic, and stay in the closet."
"How about you?" He questions.
"I'll…I'll be in that other closet," lies Haley, pointing at the sign that says restroom.
"That's the bathroom," corrects Lucas.
"It's a room, same diff," Haley quickly said. "Garlic, closet, gets it? Got it? Good!"
After seeing Lucas safely locked himself in the janitor's room, Haley made a quick bolt down the hall, checking for evidence. Walking down the eerie hall, Haley sees blood dripping from the ceiling. She sees the biology class and went in. There, that's the spot, she thought. Before she begins to climb, Brooke comes into class.
"Halloween came early this year," said Brooke, taking her seat in the front role, noticing the blood dripping down from the ceiling.
"You can't be here," stated a serious Haley.
"Excuse me?" said a shock Brooke, turning around to face Haley.
"Look, get out of here before you're going to get hurt," demanded Haley.
"No, you look here missy, no one orders me around" said Brooke, turning back to face the blackboard, stubbornly sitting still in the front row.
Before Haley can finish telling Brooke off, a man dress in head to toe leather was standing at the other side of the room. His hair was slick back. His eyes were bright as a fox, glowing like a flame stick. Haley knew right away it was in the room. The chilling feeling came creeping down her spine, and a rush of cold air blew past her hair and in that moment, she turn around and there it was.
"Well, well," he said, taking a quick sniff of the air.
"Smell what you like?" said a playful Haley.
"Who's that cute guy?" Brooke questions, coming right behind Haley.
"Well, well, isn't this my lucky day" he said, sniffing the air, left and right.
"You, out, now!" said Haley, taking Brooke by the arm, leading her out of the room.
"You can't go. We are just beginning our little game," he said, flying straight to the door with such speed and quickly lock the door, giving the girls a huge grin.
"What the…" said a speechless Brooke, witnessing what just happened.
"Go behind me" Haley whispers, clinching her teeth. Brooke nodded.
"We can do this slow and easy or painful and fast. Who wants to go first?" he said, looking at the girls, readying to mount them.
"Fine, I'll go first. But only in one condition, let the other girl go," said Haley, bravely stepping in front of the leather wearing clad.
"Honey, I don't make deals," he laughs.
"Okay, game time is over," Brooke interrupted. "I don't know how you went all Iron Man on us, but I have to go. My hair appointment is in half an hour and I need to get these split ends done before school tomorrow."
"You should go first, you're meatier and you, brave little girl can be my dessert," he smiles devilishly.
"I'm sorry, are you hungry? I have a left over Snickers in my bag, I can get for you," said a naïve Brooke.
"I am hungrily thirsty," he gulps, and trigger a sudden ghostly facial transformation.
"What happened to your face? Do you stay out in the sun a lot? Because, man, those wrinkles are kicking in, I can even see it in the dark!" said Brooke, not sparing its feelings.
Before Brooke can pick out any more flaws, he came at her with such force that push her against the wall. Brooke lets out a frightening scream and fainted on the floor.
"Aw, that's no fun," snickers Haley.
He lets out a growl.
"I mean a strong guy like you shouldn't settle for a faintly girl. I mean it's no fun if there's no chase," said a flirty Haley, twirling her beautiful long blond hair.
"Maybe you should go first, and when I'm done with you, she'll wake up," he smiles, liking more of the idea.
"Working out your appetite sounds good to me," winks Haley.
"I never found a girl so cooperating," he smiles.
"Cooperating is my nickname, don't wear it out," Haley jokes, she then quickly snatch a stake and with absolutely flawless flexibility whip her hair in a bun with it. "Come and get me!"
After Haley said that, he quietly flies to her, and with her strong legs, she threw a kick at his face that made him flew back to the blackboard.
"You're a…." he weakly said.
"A slayer, don't wear it out," said a jolly Haley.
"You, you…" he growls.
"Cat got your tongue," said Haley, taking several steps toward the vamp.
He quietly springs to his feet, trying to fly out the window but Haley with her fast reflexes, takes out the stake from her cute bun and flings it straight to his heart. The vamp turned into dust.
"It gets easier every time," said a confident Haley.
After the vamp was history, Brooke wakes up. She weakly gets on her feet and sees Haley standing right in front of her.
"What happened?" said Brooke faintly.
"Iron man stopped by and said he wants his Snickers," said a sarcastic Haley as she walks out of the Biology classroom.
"That is one weird girl," Brooke said softly.
After school, Haley left to go to the tutoring room, to pick up her keys. A sharp dress man came and greets her.
"Hi, Haley James right?" said the man.
"Um, do I know you?" said Haley, taking a step back, being very cautious. No one can blame her, you never know if any things come popping up.
"You don't know me, but you will now. My name is Dan and I'm your watcher," he said excitedly.
"You're my what-who-huh?" said a confuse Haley.
"I presume you know what this is," said Dan, taking a book from behind the counter and plopping in front of Haley. It reads "History of Vampires."
"How did you---? I'm sorry, you got the wrong person," said Haley with hesitation, quickly getting her keys from cabinet where it was hanging on the hook and then bolted for the door.
"Well, that went, um, well," said Dan, under his breath.
