A/N: I'm about to unleash a new story!

For all who were expecting continuance of Caged up, no worries I will continue it. After watching Casper's Scare School I couldn't help myself but to write these two chapters. :) I will be writing both stories at a time so once I will post something new for Caged up and next time something for this story. I also have some more time now that the old year has passed by… :D

Woohoo happy new year everyone!

So, this story is about Thatch. The rest you will find out through the chapters.

Have fun!


"The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets."

Poppy Z. Brite


Thatch's eyes opened to a dark all around him. For a moment he didn't know where he was. The place wasn't as at his home. He used to sleep with his head upside down. The room was never dark. At night there was the moon light that comforted him and at day the sun was keeping him warm. He wasn't delicate to the sun as other vampires. He was often wondering about that fact but whenever he asked his parents they wouldn't say anything or switch to other theme. His parents… Thatch hasn't seen them for a while. The moment later he remembered why.

Memories slowly disappeared and Thatch was back to his dark place. He wasn't scared anymore and slowly touched the edge of his coffin. As he pushed the edge it opened. He sat down and looked around his school bedroom.

What he saw didn't surprise him. Everything around him was dark but his vampire eyes didn't need much light to see. As he looked around he saw sleeping bodies of his classmates, sleeping peacefully. Suddenly he heard a loud noise of the clock. It banged four. Again he was the first one awake. Two hours early.


His eyes hurt. Very much. It seemed as if they wanted to explode. And his head was hurting him. And he was sleepy. Very sleepy… Sleepysleep

Just before he completely passed out to the dream land Thatch was snapped out by his teacher's voice. It shocked him. For a moment he stared blankly to his dragon teacher before he noticed that professor Thurdigree Burns was talking to him. But what was he talking?

"Thatch… sleep… school lesson! ... much punished…! … After the class… quarters… ."

After putting every word into a meaningful sentence, Thatch only weakly nodded and tried to stay at least awake for the end of the class.


Later he waited in front of the teacher's quarters. He felt awful! As he was thinking, if he would report about possible sickness, a voice came to his ear.

"Hi, Thatch!" Thatch turned his head towards the voice just to see nothing. 'Great', he thought, 'now I'm hearing voices!'

"Ehm, I'm here, you know. How are you feeling?" The voice was coming from the other side of where Thatch was looking at. He turned his head towards the voice again. Now he saw the source of it.

"Casper, give me a break! I'm not in the mood…" Thatch suddenly felt a strong pain in his head and leaned it on his hand. He closed his eyes. 'Maybe I am getting sick.'

"Hey, are you ok?" Casper had a concern tone I his voice. "You don't seem very good." At the moment even professor Burns came out of his quarters. The moment he saw Thatch he knew something wasn't right.

"Thatch? Are you all right?" He gently grabbed him by the shoulder and unknowingly shook him a little. That gave Thatch a feeling of urgency in his stomach. He grabbed his mouth and ran towards the bathrooms.


As soon as professor Burns saw Thatch running towards the bathrooms he asked Casper to call school nurse. Casper flew away almost immediately. When Thatch got out, the nurse already came. She checked him for any symptoms of sickness and asked him a couple of questions. Thatch was barely answering and as she measured his heat she quickly send him off to bed. She told professor Burns to give him a week off as long as he doesn't get better.

Casper helped him to get to his coffin although Thatch was trying to be confident. On the way there he often told Casper to stop holding him, that he can stand for himself but nothing worked.

As they got to the bedroom, Thatch fell to sleep almost instantly. Casper silently giggled and closed his coffin.

Little ghost then shut down the lights, went out of the bedroom and silently closed the door.

"And where have you been?" A voice behind Casper said. Casper turned around and saw a mummy and a zombie. Ra and Mantha were looking at Casper with big eyes. He smiled them.

"I helped Thatch get to bed. I think he's got a bug."

"What's wrong with him?" Mantha asked and pointed towards the door.

"I don't know. But he was really odd today."

"I didn't see anything odd." Mantha said.

"Yeah, me neither. What was it?" Ra asked.

"Well, I saw," Casper took a deep breath. "That at first: He was sleepy all day. Professor Burns told him to meet him after the class because he almost fell asleep. I came to visit him and first: He couldn't sense where I am, and second: As soon as professor Burns came out and slightly touched him, he became more pale than ever and run towards the bathrooms." Casper took a deep breath in, "Well, you can guess what happened next." He stared at his friends for some kind of awful reaction. But instead they simply nodded.

"Well," Ra felt growling beneath his bandages and grabbed his stomach, "I'm hungry and I think we are late for lunch." Ra said.

"Yeah, me too." replied Mantha,"Let's go!"


"What's for lunch today?" Ra was looking to the cafeteria thing. She/he only groaned and lifted the scoop. Before Ra could say anything a great bunch of sticky light brown goo was on his plate.

"Oh." Not saying anything more he only took his plate and went towards the table where Casper and Mantha were sitting. He put down his plate and stared at it for a moment.

"I don't like this." Said Mantha, "It smells awful."

"I agree." Replied Casper.

Ra slowly put a piece of goo into his mouth. His eyes got bigger and he spited it out in almost a second. "It doesn't taste any better too!" He quickly ran towards the sink and started to wash his mouth. Casper and Mantha looked at each other and started laughing silently. When Ra returned the goo was making bubbles. It looked as if it wanted to explode.

"Who likes this stuff!?" With a quick glance around his eyes looked towards Wolfie. The werewolf was literally throwing the goo into his mouth.

"Wolfie, it seems." Said Casper stunned.

"How about we give this… thing to him and go for some apples?" Suggested Mantha.

"Yeah, I agree"

"Me too"

"Ok. Hey, Wolfie!" He looked at Mantha, goo all over his face, "Would you like ours too?"

He looked at her, "Really?"

"Well, we don't like it and you obviously do, so…" She was almost begging him to take it.

Wolfie looked at her and then the food. He was starving.

"Ok!" They quickly passed the plates to him.

"Oh, I'm glad that's over!" Ra exhaled, "I couldn't breathe anymore!"

Casper and Mantha smiled and they all started laughing.

"But," Ra continued, "I'm still hungry."

"Let's go get those apples, then!" Casper said. They got up and quickly took some apples. As they sat down to start eating, the speakers creaked. The whole cafeteria was silent in a couple of seconds.

"Can we speak now?" A voice was heard.

"Yes, Alder, we can." The smarter of the headmasters said.

"Oh, goody, goody! Dash, you begin! Ouch!"

"I will be the only one speaking, you moron!" Everyone could imagine how one of the two headed headmasters, Dash, smashed Alder and rolled his eyes doing so. He soon spoke on.

"Ah, well, good scare day to you all, students and teachers! Hope your day was awful. Today after the lunch break everyone must gather in the great hall. We will have an important visit, so BEHAVE! The visit is coming from the Underworld, and will tell an important message. Repeat, everyone must gather in the great hall after the lunch break, we will have an important visit with an important message from the Underworld. Thank you."


A/N: How is it? Well, whatever you think, write it down in the reviews, because soon it will get more complicated… hehehe… Second chapter coming soon!
