Chapter 2

The School again

It's so amazing to be back at Helios Ra. It now feels much like home since the fight with my grandfather. He kept saying me to cut off my hair. No way have I willed do this. I love my hair and any girl would. Okay, I accept that I actually am boyish and all the sort of sporty but still I am a girl. Well, standing at the school corridor and welcoming all the students and assuring their parents and shaking hands with them. I stood there like a student who could be trusted with kids rather than a girl who's fighting with her grandpa to save her hair. He is old but still can kick my ass if I do anything wrong. But he has changed a lot now. He's better off with the Drakes after Quinn saved me. I know after I complete my schooling, Grandpa would marry me into a vampire hunter family and make me a hunter too. He still has his old thoughts that a girl is the one to strengthen families and connecting two vampire hunter families is the most proud job. I have different view. I am completing my schooling, hunt down Hel Blar, make a name of my own, become a Helios Ra agent and then marry some co hunter.

"Hunter Wild?" A man came towards me.

"Mr. Osaki? When did you come to the city?" I asked the old man. Mr. Osaki had been a great hunter in his olden days. I used to go hunting fish with him when I was a small girl. He used to treat me as his own granddaughter since he had a grandson.

"I arrived just a few days ago, Hunter. So, ready to take down the worse of the worst?" He asked me.

"Have I ever been not prepared, Mr. Osaki? After all Grandpas would be highly sad if I am not ready to take down his record." I said.

"How many Vampires have you taken down till now?" He asked me.

"I have taken down 63 vampires' .Near to Grandpa's record. Don't worry, Mr. Osaki I'll soon break your record too." I said confidently.

"Way to see, dear." He said "Michael, this is Hunter. If you want to be a great hunter, you be with her and follow her." He said.

"Mr. Osaki?" Courtney said surprised. Of course, Mr. Osaki is a well known hunter. His name is written in golden letter in the hall of fame.

"Yes. Okay then dear, I'll leave. Tell Caleb that he has a brilliant granddaughter." He said and walked away.

"I was supposed to welcome the parents. You can't go on and ruin my chances." Courtney said.

"Look, I've told you before. I knew him since my childhood. Just because you're insecure, I can't be rude to him." I said and walked away.

Mr. Osaki had known the Drakes and he's one of those hunters who are supporting the peace treaty. Grandfather was convinced that the Drakes are good because of him.

"Hunter, Grandpa is really fond of you. He talks about how you two used to go fishing together. How did you become such a great hunter?" Michael asked me.

"My name is Hunter and so I am supposed to take up the name. Practice and bravery with s pinch of courage. You need to rub a diamond to make it shiner. You are a diamond and we'll help you in making your skills shiner." I said and smiled at him.

"Do you know Quinn Drake?" He asked me.

"He's one of royal prince. But I don't know him personally, why?" I asked him.

"No, nothing. Just like that. Bye." He said and ran away. Just then Lucy entered the scene.

"Hey! Hunter" She said.

"Hi! So, how was your trip?" I asked her.

"It was huge fun and I bought you some gifts. I missed you too much." She said.

"I missed you too, Honey." I said.

"That is your pet name, Hunter. It suits you not me." She said.

"Okay fine." I gave up.

"I need to complete my Physical Fitness homework." She said.

"Have you ever done it?" I asked her.

"Just some bit is left." She replied.

"The room has changed. There would be one Twelfth Grader with you. Luckily, I and Chloe are together. You have Courtney." I said smirking.

"You're a Devil! I hate you." She said.

"It's okay, I love you too." I said.

"Hunter, stop teasing the poor baby." Chloe entered.

"Shut up you two." Lucy said.

"Sorry! But really I have loads of sympathy for you. We're going out tonight." Chloe said.

"What? You're allowed?" Lucy said.

"Oh Yes! If you wish to come, ask Courtney." I said.

"I'll try." She said.

"Hope you succeed in it." I said.

"Bye!" She said and walked to her floor. The time was up. All the students had arrived.

The day went fine. I had to do floor duties and Lucy troubled me a lot. She had to sneak out every five minutes. Chloe ate all my chocolates.

It was fine and 6:39pm in the evening.

"You are still not ready, Hunter?" Chloe asked me.

"Why? We still have time. We're going out at 8:30pm." I said and continued reading my school book.

"You're studying so soon?" She asked me.

"Yes. I have no other work." I said.

"Get ready, idiot." She said.

"It takes less than half an hour." I replied not looking up.

"Oh! It is just because you're already beautiful and you don't put much make but spend time on your hair instead of on make up." She said. I shrugged and continued reading. True, I spend time in combing and styling my hair rather than on dress and make up.

"What are you wearing?" She asked again.

"A blue short dress and thinking about hair style." I said.

"Can I see your dress?" She asked.

"Sure. It's placed in my cupboard." I said. She pulled out the dress.

"Oh my god it is so beautiful!" She exclaimed. I had a blue strapless blue short dress. It had a flowy skirt. I did have a nice sense of shopping.

"Thanks. But I still don't have matching hair clips and rubber band." I said.

"I thought you were letting your hair open." She asked.

"No, I am thinking to braid it up. And another problem is heels. If I wear heels I can't even outrun a raccoon." I said.

"Oh! Please, Hunter! You're too perfect to run. You're right there start fighting." She said.

"Hey ladies, I too have the permission to come with you guys out." Lucy entered the room. She saw Chloe and looked impressed and then saw me and got a shock.

"You have already started studying? You're acting like Sarita." She added.

"See, it's not only me who thinks it is too early to study." Chloe said.

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked them.

"Get ready." Chloe said "You too get ready, Lucy."

"Okay, just give me some time. I'll put jeans and a tee." Lucy said. "Chloe, no matter how much you put make up Hunter's going to draw all the attention."

"True! You always draw more attention that any one of us. Even the damn gorgeous boys flirt with you." She said.

"I don't give them a damn, Chloe." I said.

"Get ready." She said. I finally saw the time. It was 7:30pm. I got up and started getting ready. I walked into the bathroom and took a bath. When I came out it was 8pm. I wore my dress and saw myself in the small portion of mirror as Chloe took most of the area. I just need to take care of my hair. I started making braids.

"Hey Blondie, I am ready." Lucy entered.

"So, ready for the outing? Where do we go?" Chloe asked.

"Rickson Club?" Lucy suggested.

"I don't mind going there." I said.

"I'll love going there." Chloe said.

"So we'll go to Rickson." Lucy said. We all walked out of our room. A guy stared at me.

"Hey Sexy, are you out somewhere?" He asked me.

"Yes, somewhere I won't find guys like you." I said.
