If someone would have told you 1000 years ago that monsters existed, you probably would have either laughed in their face or would have gotten them checked by a doctor out of thought that that person was going crazy. But that was then. Now, you would shrug your shoulders and say "there's nothing you can do about it" or "yeah, I know, my best friend is actually one".

In this part of time, monsters were now free to do as they pleased, like any other human could. After the discovery of monsters and world war 3, which was caused by some people actually opposing that the monsters get freedom, monsters and humans now lived in peace. There were now very few killings done by monsters seeing as now most humans donated blood to blood hospitals made to supply monsters with its nutrients.

In fact, blood was now sold in stores as a way of showing equality to the monsters. There were few hospitals now that gave out blood, but of course blood donations would always be accepted. Now was a time in history where everything was normal. Well, as normal as normal could be.

But there was always a special little part of the world that seemed to always be lively. that place was peach creek, or to the ones living there, the cul-de-sac, where currently, a young teen with lovely shoulder-length black silky hair, lay in bed alone in a two story house, seeping the day away. Now to you, you'd think "why isn't he in school? Has he dropped out?" well to answer that question, no he has not dropped out. On the contrary, he is the top student at his high school.

Don't you remember? This world is now a place for both monsters and humans, so they created a program called "night school". This program was made official for all schools across the world where children that were either sensitive to the sun or uncomfortable of the humans in the day, would go to have their education during nightly hours.

Now this little ravenette was not quite sensitive to the sun, nor quite uncomfortable of humans, it was only the matter that his parents thought he should get to know children of his own, like him. So, by now, if you haven't figured out what type of monster this petite child is, then now is your chance to listen up.

The young boy lying in the bed is Eddward Marion Vincent. He is a mid-blood vampire of the Vincent clan. Though clans do not matter, blood does, for that is how you specify which vampires are most sensitive to the sun. It isn't a case of burning to ashes, more like a case of getting really bad sunburn. Being mid blood means that your skin is not too sensitive, but not too strong. Also now in age, blood wasn't the only resource vampires needed to live. Vampire can eat anything a human can eat, except what they are allergic too.

Vampires also have warm skin, unlike what fairytales and horror stories imply. Although their heart is beating, vampires stop aging once they hit their mid-twenties. The same rule goes for werewolves, but we'll get onto that another time. Now back to Edd.

The quiet boy slept as the sun had met its end of the day. Slowly as the sun went down the boy began to wake from his peaceful slumber, nicely energized by the sleep. Once the clock hit 6:00 the boy opened his eyes, a perfect timing. Edd sat up yawning as he stretched out his arms wrinkling the a little too big grey shirt that he wore. He slowly pushed the covers away and stood up, ready for the first day of high school.

During the summer, Edd was informed by his parents by a sticky note that they were moving. And as Edd had no friends what so ever, he simply agreed to their terms. Now he lived in peach creek. The place that was most welcoming to monsters, of any kind and any gender. Although seeing as they were so equal, there were few there that opposed of this. And for the few that opposed, although they were told it was now considered racism to call monsters names and look down upon them, the opossers simply shrugged off the law and continued their threats. Of course Edd's parent hadn't, for some reason, hadn't thought it was such a big deal to tell their son to be careful. Little did they know that they had just made their adorable little son a victim to all the true monsters out there.

Edd stretched once more and then headed to the bathroom outside his bedroom. He walked across the hallway to the bathroom, opening its door which was the slightest bit open. Edd yawned, fangs shining as the bathroom light was turned on at the open mouth. He walked in front of the mirror, not even looking at himself because he wanted to keep schedule and get ready for his first official day to school. Edd had begun washing his face with a special soap that was sensitive to his skin. After washing his face, grabbed his toothbrush, which was in its holder, and began to delicately brush his fangs first. Seeing as Edd was so fragile, he even brushing his teeth had to be delicate

After debating to take a shower or not, seeing as he took one last morning. He decided he was still filthy and headed to his bedroom for a towel. After a nice shower, he headed back to his room with went to change. The night was beautiful today and Edd thought the moon may have been its brightest yet. Edd had dressed in a white long sleeved shirt, a grey sweater vest over it, black skinny jeans as well as black convers, his usual black beanie and his reading glasses. Although he had twenty-twenty vision, Edd felt the most comfortable when wearing them.

Once he looked into his into his dresser's mirror and saw that he looked good enough, he decided to head downstairs for a well-balanced breakfast. Once downstairs, he walked across the living room and headed to the kitchen next to it. Once there, Edd had grabbed a pot and put it on the stove while turning the heat on to high. He then went to the pantry and pulled out a cylinder container filled with oats. As he headed to his now getting hot pot, he grabbed the milk from the fridge and the cinnamon from the cabinet. He then set the cinnamon and the oats down and poured in milk, the oats following, and the cinnamon soon after. He pulled out a spoon from the drawer to his right, and began to stir his soon to be breakfast (dinner?).

As he stirred he noticed that there was a note stuck to the fridge, most likely from his parents. He left the pot for a moment to grab the note, which was flapping a bit. Once he looked at it he sighed out loud. He then reread it again just to be sure it was what he thought it was.

Dear Eddward,

Today is your monthly dosage of blood. It is in the fridge next to the pitcher of water.

Please drink ALL of the blood and dispose of the plastic bag in the recycling bin.

Love you lots,

Mother.

Edd sighed even more as he read dosage of blood. He really didn't like drinking that stuff. Even if it did keep him from staying insane, it was just like feeding off of knew that he had to drink it before he ate, otherwise the food would have no effect on his body what so ever. Going back to stir the now almost done oatmeal, Edd watched as it bubbled and made low, small popping sounds. He picked out a white bowl with a black stripe on it and poured in the oatmeal. He then went to leave the hot pot in the sink so that he could wash it after he was done eating.

He took a deep breath as he slowly turned and open the refrigerated door, placing in the milk as he then looked for the blood package on the opposite direction of it. There in between another unopened gallon of milk and the glass pitcher was a small blood IV bag that was usually seen connected to an IV. He slowly took out the blood IV bag, barley standing to look at it without throwing up.

He flipped it over and opened the cap that was attached to the bottom, a new invention created more than a couple years ago to make opening the bags easy. Edd gulped nervously as he slowly brought the dark substance to his lips. But even once the tiniest of drops of blood hit his tongue, he couldn't keep his inner monster from completely devouring the blood. His eyes turned a red shade, leaving no trace of the aqua-blue ones that were there before.

He drank it ferociously, a trail of blood slowly escaping his mouth and heading down this neck to his shirt. And that's Edd had thrown the bag onto the counter, and ran to get a paper towel. He ripped one off of the roll and ran to the sink, using some dish soap and water to rub the blood off of his delicate pale skin, leaving behind an angry red mark. "Filthy, filthy, filthy" he muttered to himself, angry that he still even after years and years of practice, not able to control himself.

He looked back at the counter and noticed small splotches of blood all over it. He almost gagged as he remembered how he had tried to drink all of the blood from the bag, not even caring that a trail of blood was slowly getting him filthy. Why, after so long, have I not been able to control myself? He thought to himself as he wiped the counter and scrubbed hard at it. Once he was finished he placed the IV bag into another and threw it into the recycling bin that was next to the garbage can. He then grabbed onto the now clean counter as he shut his eyes tightly and breathed heavily. He glanced back at the oatmeal he had just made, finding it looking disgusting.

He couldn't stand looking at it anymore, so he grabbed the plate and tossed out the substance into the garbage can. He then proceeded to the sink where he washed the pot, spoon and bowl that he had used. He stood there washing for a while until he deemed the objects clean enough. Once he was finished he went back upstairs to his room, grabbed his back pack and headed back downstairs, ready to lock up. He stepped into his shoes, put his keys in his pocket, turned on the porch light and locked the door behind him as he set off to his first day for freshman year in peach creek high school.

He walked down to the sidewalk and headed on towards the way his parents had driven by when he went to see how the high school looked like. As he walked he could see that not many houses had lights on. They are most likely to be sleeping, seeing as this is how it had occurred before at the neighborhood we use to live in, Edd thought. He smiled a sad smile, maybe this time I'll make some friends along the way. Edd continued walking, shaking his head from such distracting thoughts. It is quite dangerous to space out while walking, he scolded himself. But what Edd wasn't aware of was that there was someone heading his direction at full speed.

All that Edd could hear before being tackled to the ground was a "look out, local civilian! Ed will save you!" and an "Ed, you idiot! He's not in danger!" which had caused him to turn around and see a blur, which threw him onto the sidewalk. Eyes watering from the slight pain now on his rear, Edd looked up to see a very tall boy (very much taller than him). The tall boy had an unusual unibrow that almost seemed as if it was going to pop off his head. Said boy also wore a green jacket, a black shirt under that, black baggy jeans and matching black shoes. The tall boy jumped up and down in excitement for apparently "saving" someone.

"Eddy! Eddy! Did you see?! I saved someone! I'm a super hero like when Sam saved Lucy in zombie aliens from planet rubark!" yelled the tall boy. Another boy came by, eddy, he supposed. Eddy wore an orange colored t-shirt with grey slim jeans and black shoes. His hair seemed to be slicked back and had a couple of smaller hairs falling onto his forehead. "Damn it lumpy! What the heck are you doing!?" eddy had pulled up Edd from the ground. "Sorry, sock head. Ed over there is really stupid. He saw you were about to step on a rock at thought that you were gunna die or something."

Sock head? That is a very rude thing to say to a person who is most likely NOT wearing a sock on their head, Edd thought. But even if he was a little mad at the mean name, he still thought they looked like kind people. "Salutations, fellow neighbors! Thank you for the save that was quite ….not needed? Are you also by any chance heading towards the high school?" Ed and eddy looked at him for a moment. It was silent, well silent, that is, until Ed began to flail and picked Edd from the ground, shaking him wildly. "Eddy! I think we were too late! He's started speaking another language!" Ed yelled aloud.

"What!? Please! Cease and desist! I am perfectly fine and am speaking perfect English!" Edd said as he tried to stop Ed from doing any damage to him. "Ed!" eddy screamed. Edd was really high of the ground. He felt like he was going to throw up this morning's blood dosage. Eddy then, much to Edd's content, grabbed Ed's jacket and pulled him down. He then forced Ed's arms off of Edd. "a-ah. Thank you…Eddy?" he replied, not knowing if it was ok. "Yup, that's me. World's greatest scammer at your service. Of course everything I do isn't free. That'll be 10 bucks." He said holding out his hand.

Edd looked at the hand for a second, and then gasped. Eddy had put his hand back down about to say "just kidding" but was interrupted when Edd had really pulled out a 10 dollar bill. "Here you go! You probably wanted it to pay for your lunch right?" Edd said while placing them in eddy's hand. Eddy was speechless. But overcame it when he noticed that the kid in front of him was kind enough to give him the cash. Eddy then smirked widely as he hooked his arm around the skinny teen's neck. "Thanks sock head! By the way, what's your name? I didn't quite catch it." Eddy said as he began leading the boy to school with Ed close behind, still jumping about saving the petite boy.

Edd smiled. "My name is Eddward. It is spelled with two D's instead of one." He replied, smiling the brightest smile he had. Eddy had to look away, his face now blushing. He then suddenly got an idea. "Well Double D, why not hang with me and lumpy? We could probably make bigger scams and get more money outa the suckers going to school. Wada'ya say?" eddy said as he turned back to Edd. Said boy then smiled, kind of liking the nick name, and said "that would be most amusing. Alright!"

Ed then came up from behind Edd and screamed into his ear "Hey Double D! What kind of monster are ya? I'm a swamp monster and eddy's a leprechaun! But for some reason he came out big!" Edd looked at eddy. Well that explains the why he charged for the help, Edd thought as he look back at the way they were going. And Ed being a swamp monster, well he didn't really quite get that. Maybe he'd look into it later. "Ah! Heavens! Please excuse my rudeness! I'm Eddward Marion Vincent, vampire of the Vincent clan."

He smiled, giving them a toothy smile, which showed the gap and fangs in his teeth. "Whoa! Nice teeth Double D! Can I poke you fangs?" Ed asked excitedly. Edd then backed away from ed. "um, no Ed. My teeth are-uh-sharp! Yes, that is it! They are quite sharp!" Edd told the taller ed. "Aw. Ok then!" Ed said as he then began blabbering about aliens. Edd had saved himself from getting himself filthy. That was good. Edd looked at eddy, who was at his right, arm around his neck, and then at Edd, who was at his left.

Edd smiled as the trio descended into the night, ready to head to school. But little did they know that they were being watched by the other monster children
