Chapter 1

Vampires. Cursed creatures who were portrait as blood sucking evil beings. They would stay out of sun and wear long capes. They wouldn't feel or anything….

Ash rolled his eyes as he threw the book aside.

Ridiculous.

"Isn't this the most stupid punishment, Brocko?" Said Ash.

Brock Harrison looked up from his book. He was his best friend.

Best friend on the vampire academy. Yes, vampire academy. An academy for young vampires to learn about the world and acquire new skills.

"Yeah." Said Brock. "We are doing research about vampires because we talked during an exam. I mean…we are vampires."

"Are you?" Gary sarcastic tone came from behind them.

"Oh shut up, Oak." Said Ash.

"You should really study more about how to-"

"Don't give me a lecture!"

Ash jumped up and bared his fangs. He grabbed Gary by his t-shirt.

"What? I was just giving you advi-"

"Don't even-"

"HEY!" Dawn, a friend of theirs, broke them up. "Stop fighting!"

Gary rolled his eyes. "I was already done with teasing him, Dawn."

He turned on his feet and walked away.

"Jerk." Whispered Ash.

She walked through the woods. Mud stuck on her shoes…in her hair. She saw a big building in the distance.

"So, what do you have for lunch?" Asked Brock.

He and Ash were sitting in the cafeteria.

Ash rolled his eyes. "Haha. Very funny. I already had some blood from a human."

"Yeah, but which human?"

"I think Mr Greedy. He has blood type O."

Humans who had family here or something stopped by to let their blood be tapped. They had to keep the academy a secret of course.

"Unbelievable that you can't remember from which donor you drank."

"Then whom did you drink from?" Asked Ash.

"Guys!" Gary barged into the cafeteria. "You need to come outside!"

"Huh?"

"A girl…not a vampire…. come see this!"

She looked around with confusion. Why were all these people looking at her?

Ash and Brock ran to see the ruckus. Ash saw that the girl had orange hair. She was wearing a ripped yellow t-shirt and blue shorts. On her body were little spots of blood.

"C-can someone maybe help me?" Asked the girl.

One of the students stepped forward. It was Paul, a guy Ash had a rivalry with.

"Don't expect anyone to help you." Said Paul. "What is your name girl?"

"My name is Misty…"

Misty stayed frozen in place when Paul was right in front of her.

"Misty…that's a nice name." He went with his finger up her cheek and licked the blood from his fingertip. Misty gasped. What the hell…

"Unfortunately this is no place for sissies like you. This is a place for vampires only!"

Paul suddenly launched a kick so hard, that it send her flying against a tree.

Ash gasped and ran forward. He grabbed Paul by his arm.

"What are you doing?! Leave her alone, jerk!"

"Ash…" Brock suddenly stood beside him and tucked at his sleeve.

"No! He can't just kick an innocent human!"

Misty slowly stood up coughing blood.

"Oh look, she still alive." Paul his eyes turned red. "Unfortunately."

Before Ash could hold him back, Paul dashed towards the girl.

Suddenly there was a scream and Paul was thrown back. He hit the ground in front of their feet. Paul leaned on his elbows with wide-open eyes.

Instead of the girl there was now a wolf. A grey wolf with big yellow eyes. It growled a few times.

"A werewolf!" Yelled Ash.

"I knew it." A man with black raven hair, a cape and red eyes suddenly stood next to Ash.

"Dad?"

It was Drake. The principal of the school and the father of Ash. He was also known as Dracula in the vampire world.

"Wait, how did you know?" Said Brock.

"A normal human wouldn't live with wounds like that." Said Drake. "Plus I can smell creatures like that."

Drake held out his hand. "Stand back boys."

The wolf ran towards him with incredible speed. Out of Drake's hand came some sort of beam. It hit the wolf and the beast fell down. It lay unconscious in the grass.

"What…" Ash kneeled down next to wolf.

"I hit it with a beam I learned years ago. It makes anyone unconscious when they get hit." Drake looked at Misty, who became human again. "That girl…she is not a normal werewolf. Normal ones can't change their appearance that quickly."

"Then what is she?"

Misty opened her eyes up. She immediately sat up to see that she was in some kind of infirmary. On her arm there were some bandages.

"Hey." Ash walked towards her and sat down on the bed.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ash…"

"Did you…." Misty looked at her bandages. "Treat me?"

"What? No, no." Said Ash. "Our nurse healed you. I was told to watch you."

"Well…thanks but I better go." Misty jumped up from the bed, only to almost fall down again. Ash grabbed her just in time.

"Woah, be careful! You've been unconscious for many hours, Mist. You might want to-"

"Don't." Misty pushed him away. "Touch me. Dirty vampire!"

"Stupid werewolf." Muttered Ash.

"What?"

"You changed into a werewolf back there. I don't know about you, but my father sure has a lot of questions for you. Just be happy that I'm not as Paul."

"Who?"

"The vampire who attacked you."

Misty clenched her fists. That guy…he had strange purple hair…but his eyes…she had heard about vampires, but never actually seen them.

"You probably have a lot of questions too." Said Ash.

"Yeah…like…what is this place?"

"This is a vampire academy. Young vampires, like me, can acquire skills here."

"Hm." Misty sat down onto the bed. She nervously clutched the edge with her hands. Ash looked nice, but he could be fooling her. After all vampires were her enemies.

Suddenly the door went open. Drake walked in. His eyes immediately lashed onto Misty as he was studying her. He took a chair and sat across from her.

"So, Misty." Said Drake. "Why were you going on the school ground?"

"I was looking for help. But one of your "students" attacked me."

"Why were you looking for help? You are clearly wounded, but you could have survived it."

The 18-year old kept her mouth. She nervously looked away.

"Tell me the truth." Said Drake. "Or I will throw you back in the woods."

"Fine! I was running away!"

Drake and Ash raised their eyebrows.

"So now you know." Said Misty.

"From what?" Ash finally spoke up.

"I…uh….I was…"

"Yes?" Ash folded his arms. He had to know the truth.

Misty gave Ash an angry glare before she continued.

"I was locked up for my whole life. My father and sisters never wanted me to leave, because they told me that I was a danger. I only got to see people from our pack. So I left. But they tried to catch me. That is why I had blood on me. I lost them in the woods, though."

"Wait." Said Drake. "What is your last name?"

"Williams, sir."

"Williams? Oh no…" Red stood up. "This is bad. This is very bad."

"Huh?'

"Ashton, take the girl to the girls dressing room. Give her school clothes."

Within a second he ran out of the room.

"What was that about?" Said Misty.

"I dunno. Let's just get you some school clothes…" He took her by the hand and leaded her to the dressing room. There was no one, so Ash could get in. He grabbed something out of a box and handed her a school uniform. It was a dark uniform with a red skirt.

"I don't like red." Whispered Misty.

"Well, get used to it. Just put on the uniform."

Misty blushed. "H-here?! In front of-"

"I'll turn around." Ash turned his back on her, while Misty changed.

Ash sighed. The girl was going to be trouble. He was in his third year now, almost a senior and he didn't have time for this.

"And?" Misty turned around.

"And what?"

"What do you think? Does it look…good on me?" Whispered she.

"It looks fine."

"Really?"

"Let's just go to class."

"Class…wait, what?" Said Misty.

"Why did you think you got the uniform?"

"Because I needed to blend in?"

""What? No, it's because you are now a student here. My father only gives you a uniform if you are becoming a student. Other wise he would have let you with those dirty clothes. No, let's go!"

Ash dragged her into a classroom. Misty felt everyone staring at her and she slowly sat down next to Ash.

"Today we have a new student with us." Said professor Oak, the teacher.

Everyone stared at Misty.

That is the new girl….were wolf…omg, her hair….what is she….not normal…

Misty wanted to disappear. Whispers from her classmates flew around.

"Come on, introduce." Whispered Ash.

Misty slowly stood up.

"M-my n-n-n-name i-i-is M-Misty."

"Would anyone like to know more about Misty?" Asked Oak.

Gary raised his hand.

"How old are you?"

"18." Said Misty.

Dawn raised her hand too. "If your hair is red, then why do you turn into a grey wolf?"

"That's classified."

"Do you kill for fun?" Asked Tracey.

"What? No!"

"What do you eat?" Yelled Brock.

"Food."

"Is it true that you are here to kill us?"

"No, why-"

"Do you only transform when there is a full moon?"

"Huh? That's-"

"Are you immortal? What is your favourite thing to do? Do wolf change teeth like sharks? Are you a shark? What is the square root of pi? Why are you not grey? Did you intend to kill Paul? Can werewolves fall in love? What…..why?"

Misty grabbed her head. They were asking to much!

"Ash." Said Prof Oak. "You haven't asked anything yet."

"I just don't care."

Misty looked down at Ash and shot him an angry glare. What was up with that attitude?

"Well, you should." Said Misty.

Ash sighed and leaned back. "Maybe I shouldn't."

"You should, douchebag."

"I shouldn't, werewolf."

"You should!" Misty grabbed him by his sleeve and dragged him up.

"Shouldn't." Said Ash calmly.

"Should!"

"Shouldn't."

"Should!"

"Shouldn't."

"Should!"

"Shouldn't."

"SHOULD!"

"Look." Dawn pointed at Misty's back. A tail appeared out of nowhere.

"What is that!" Yelled someone.

Misty became redder than her hair and dashed out of the classroom as quick as she could. She ran into the hallway and pushed herself against the wall. Then she slit down and started to sob. This was all too much for her. She almost longed for home.

"Hey."

She looked up to see Ash leaning against the wall.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Whispered Misty.

"You okay?" Asked Ash.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Misty stood up. She quickly wiped her tears away.

"So…" Ash smiled. "You never have seen the world?"

"N-no…I read about you!" Said Misty quickly like she wanted to win a competition.

"Alright…alright…" Ash petted her on the head. "Tomorrow I'll take you out."

"Out? Like a date?"

"Not really. Dates are for people who are in love."

Misty frowned. Love…. love…it was a thing she understood very well.

"So, what do you say?" His voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Ready to head back in there?"

He reached out with his hand.

Misty smiled and accepted his hands. "Yes, I'm ready."

"Cool."

They walked back into the classroom to learn something about the biology of Pokemon.
