Chapter 2

The next day Ash and his friends were standing by the gate about to go out.

"Wait, who are we waiting for?" Asked Dawn.

"Misty."

"Whoa, no way!" Said Paul. "She is coming too?!"

"Yeah. Does anyone have a problem with that?!" Said Ash.

"Uhm, I do." Said Gary. "That girl is nice, but I don't trust her."

"Really?" Said Ash. "Come on guys. Just try to be friendly against her. She slept the whole night in the library and ate alone in the kitchen."

"What did she eat?" Asked Paul.

"Not much. Just some soup."

"So she can eat human food?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

Misty walked nervously towards them. She saw everyone stare at her.

"Misty!" Said Ash friendly. "You ready?"

"I guess…."

Ash grinned. "Okay, let's go to the mall!"

"Wait!" Drake ran towards them.

"Dad?"

"You guys can't just go out now! Those people are still looking for her! They are out there!"

Misty looked down.

"But we aren't going into the woods, just to the mall!" Said Dawn.

"They are everywhere." Said Misty. "Aren't they?"

"Miss Williams." Said Drake. "You need to stay inside. I'm already trying to get in contact with your father."

"What?!"

"Yeah, this academy is not safe with a werewolf."

"I'm not going." Misty folded her arms.

"Well, when I get in contact with your family, You are going home, and you will-"

"I'm never going home!" Yelled Misty and she ran back inside.

Misty ran and ran until she was in some kind of library.

She stopped to catch her breath.

"A library…" Misty looked around. Books were surrounding her. She walked around, sometimes grabbing a book and reading it, but tossing it aside.

"Hey, you should be more careful!"

Misty jumped up. A boy with green hair and green eyes was leaning against a wall.

"Who the hell are you?" Whispered Misty.

"The name is Drew. You've must be Misty. The werewolf."

Misty rolled her eyes. "What ever. Let me guess, you are a vampire and hate werewolves."

"What?" Drew held his hands up. "No, by no means. I think werewolves are interesting. Plus, I am not a vampire."

"Not?"

"I am a normal human being."

Misty bit her lip. A normal human? What was he doing here?

"Why are you here?" Asked Misty.

"I live here. In this academy. I was once kidnapped as an infant. But the vampire who kidnapped me died. So now I just attend classes and wander around. Most of my time I spend in this library. At first I was an outcast as well. I know how you-"

"You don't know how I feel, Drew!" Said Misty. "Soon my father will be here…"

"At least you have a family…mine already thinks I'm dead. I have no-one."

"I-I'm so sorry, D-drew…" Whispered Misty. "But…my family isn't….nice."

"Dad, Wait up!"

Ash ran after his father into his office.

Drake ignored him and grabbed a phone. Ash gasped.

"You are not going to call him, are you?"

"I'm going to call and ask him if we can his daughter back without a fight."

Drake grabbed his cell phone to and sighed. He made the call. Soon someone picked up. A grumble and some cursing were heard.

"Hello?"

Drake swallowed nervously. "Hello? Giovanni? This is D-drake."

"Drake? What do you want vampire. I'm really busy." Said Giovanni. The man sounded irritated so Drake tried his best not to mess up.

"There is a girl here…you know…your daughter…"

Immediately Giovanni tensed up. He let out a breath, so loud that even Ash could hear it. Drake grabbed the desk with his other hand.

"Is she there?!" Yelled Giovanni. "Did you bastards hurt her?"

"N-no?"

"I'm coming right over!"

"Shit!" Yelled Drake. He slammed the phone on his desk, making Ash almost jump. "He is coming over! Fuck! Ash, get her! NOW!"

"So, that is why water Pokémon are weak against fire."

Misty sighed. Drew told her more about water Pokémon than her books. How long did she listen? Drew smiled. Finally someone listened to his stories. Most vampires wouldn't listen or even care…but she…

Suddenly the door slammed open. Ash was standing in the doorway; sweat dripping from his fore head.

"Misty, you have to come! Now!"

The girl sighed as she stood up. Ash motioned for her to quicken her pace. But just for fun, she went as slow as she could. As soon as she was by the door, he grabbed her by her wrist and dragged her along. Drew smiled a little. Finally something seemed to happen at this school. And that something was Misty.

Drake told the student to all go inside. He even told the teachers to stay in.

Only he, Ash and Misty were standing outside by the gate. Nothing was heard. Misty knew exactly why she needed to be out here. She thought of running away, but Ash was holding her wrist very tightly. So tightly that he might be able to break it.

Suddenly the gates went open. A tall man with a black suit and two companions walked towards them.

Giovanni was his name. A man who was feared by many in the vampire and werewolf world. He and Drake used to be buddies, but when the werewolf betrayed the vampire…they were never the same again.

"MISTYC AYAWA WILLIAMS!"

Misty cringed at his voice. Giovanni walked towards her. Ash quickly released her wrist and took a few steps back.

"What were you doing running away! I told you to stay in your room!"

"B-but I was j-just…"

Giovanni grabbed her roughly by her shoulder. "Your mother and I were worried sick! Did you even think about that?!"

"No, because I was running from your goons." Misty looked at the two other people. Giovanni also looked at his two companions but with an angry stare.

"She was really quick boss." Said Cassidy, a woman with blonde hair. She was together with the other man, named Buk…I mean Butch, one of his favourites. They were always asked for the most important jobs. But Misty didn't like them. The two were always very aggressive towards her, only treating her with respect when the boss was near.

"You guys were just to slow. Unless…." Giovanni now looked at Misty. "She is improving."

"Improving?" Asked Ash. Giovanni slowly turned his attention to the boy. He slowly walked towards him.

"So and who is this little cute vampire, Drake?"

"My n-name is Ash…"

"Ash…."

Before Giovanni could act Misty jumped in front of him.

"Dad! Leave him out of this! Now, you found me, didn't you?! Just take me back!"

"Fine. But when we get home you will be punished."

Misty nervously swallowed a few times. Giovanni turned into a giant were wolf. Fangs so big that it could snap your neck in two, eyes yellow and the same grey fur. The other two turned also into wolves, but not as big as Giovanni. Misty walked over to them and sat down on Giovanni's back. The werewolves growled and then leaped away.

"Dad…" Said Ash. "You have a lot to explain to me!"

"I do, huh? Well then…follow me, son."

Misty walked after her father into the living room.

"I just wanted to see the world!" Yelled Misty.

"You can do that when you know how to use your strength!" Yelled Giovanni.

Misty wanted to yell some more when suddenly a soft, but strong voice interrupted her.

"Mistyc? Is that you?"

A woman with beautiful blue eyes, silver hair, a purple dress and a pale skin walked into the room. Tears welled up in her eyes and she pulled Misty into a hug. It was Athena, her mother. Her sisters, Daisy, Lily and Violet were al looking from a corner.

"Where were you? I was so worried…"

"I was just…I wanted to see the world! So I got onto the vampire academy…"

"Hold on, you went to the vampire academy?!" Yelled Athena.

"I was looking for help…"

"Which you didn't need." Said Giovanni. "You are a werewolf. Your wounds weren't that bad…"

"I was exhausted." Said Misty.

Athena sighed. "Just get back to your home, Mistyc."

"It's Misty. And I'm not going back to my room."

"Yes you are." Said Athena. "Now."

"No." Whispered Misty with a small voice.

Athena grew irritated. She nodded towards Butch and Cassidy. The two walked to Misty and each grabbed an arm. Without resistance they walked Misty back to her room. Since Misty knew that they could kill her if she didn't want to.

"We should keep a better eye on her." Said Giovanni.

Athena bit on her lip. "Honey, we can't monitor her all day, that girl is as smart as a dog."

"She is a dog."

"Yes, but…." Athena sat down on the couch. "We can't keep her here forever. I love her with all my heart. Plus, keeping her in her room won't be helping. What when she grows up? She will be one of the strongest werewolves by then. She could kill her whole pack in a fit of rage, just like-"

"Okay, okay!" Giovanni sat down next to her. "What if I train her?"

"Train her?"

"In agility, power...she won't go out anymore, but she will learn how to properly be a werewolf. And I even get to spend time with my little girl."

Ash sat in his dad's office. Drake sat behind his desk. Red had called him to his office for something.

"Ash…"

"Dad, I'm worried about Misty!"

"You shouldn't be Ash." Said Drake

"Then why did you call me here?"

Drake stood up. "You know that the werewolves are our enemy..."

"I know, but-"

"And you know...that one day...you will take this school over..."

"I know."

"And that if there would be a war between vampires and werewolves...this school isn't safe anymore." Said Drake. He put his hand onto Ash his shoulder.

Ash raised his eyebrows. "Dad, I know all this, why are you telling me this?"

"Because...Misty is probably the most strongest werewolf out there. I've never seen such a powerful creature...and she wasn't even in her final form."

"Final form?"

"They never tell you this. But a werewolf can change whenever they want. However, when there is a full moon...they change into their true form. Which sometimes might be terrifying, even for you."

Ash nodded. "Yes, I know."

Drake slammed the table with his fist. "No, you don't know! The werewolf in its final form is hard to defeat. They are quick, powerful and only care for blood.
I could only defeat Misty with a unconscious-beam...she would have killed you other wise. Now imagine her, but even faster than the eye can see and more powerful. And I could barely defeat her then."

Ash looked down. "Do...I need to kill her?"

Drake sighed. "Only when you need to Ash. Only when you need to."

Misty sat down in her room. She hated this. She was always being locked up in her room. Her father thought that she needed to be protected against the world? Well she didn't. She could take care of herself!

She stood up. Her window was small, she wouldn't be able to fit. But if she could make a hole or something...

Misty transformed into her wolf form. She took a few steps back, ran forward and shoved herself against the window. The window broke down immediately. The wall started to have cracks too. Misty hit the wall again and again and again...eventually the wall broke down, leaving a giant gap.

She looked down. She wasn't too high, she could jump.

"Mistyc?" Giovanni knocked onto the door. "What are you doing there?"

Okay, now she had to jump.

Misty jumped down. She fell through leaves and hit the ground hard. She stood up again, quickly running away from her home.

"I'm coming in!" Yelled Giovanni. He busted through the door. He panicked when he saw the giant hole in the wall and Misty missing.

Misty ran through the forest. Soon they would...her fear was confirmed when she heard growling behind her. She knew that it was Cassidy and Butch. Those two would always try to capture her. Misty jumped over a broken tree branch. She tried to zig-zag but those two were smart.
The two followed her all the way to a big waterfall. Misty stopped right on a rock, looking down.

"Misty!" Growled Butch. "There is no way for you to escape now! We both know that you are to scared to jump!"

Cassidy nodded. "So, how about you come here, then we'll act nice. Hell ,maybe your father won't hurt ya."

"Bite my ass." Growled Misty back.

She turned around and leaped down. Butch and Cassidy cursed. Misty fell down into the water. Her mouth filled with water and her vision blurred...

Ash walked out of class. He was thinking about the werewolves. If there was going to be a war...

"Ash!"

Dawn started to walk next to him.

"You are totally dazing out! You okay?" she asked.

Ash smiled. "Yeah."

"Were you thinking about Misty? I'm sure she is fine."

"No that's not it." Ash looked up. "I was just worried about..." He quickly stopped talking. He looked forward again. He couldn't tell her, it would only worry her.

They walked along in silence for a while.

"You know." Dawn spoke up. "You can tell me, Ash. If something's bothering you."

"Nothing is bothering me."

"Okay! Look!" Dawn grabbed a poke ball from her pocket. " I got my Pokemon as a gift from my mum!"

Ash fell over in anime-style. "Really?! I thought that you cared about my problems!"

Dawn smiled at him, holding the poke ball to her chest. "I care about my piplup! It's a water type."

Ash rubbed his head. He looked annoyed at Dawn.

"But I have to go, see you later!" Dawn ran in another direction.

Ash sighed. Why couldn't he have a Pokemon? He had always admired Poke-trainers. But his father told him that a Pokemon was unnecessary and expensive. Yet, most students had a Pokemon.

He kicked against a little rock. He had to give up on having a Pokemon for now...

Ash sighed. He decided to go the mall for now. Classes were over for today. He could look at the Pokemon in the pet store.

Misty opened her eyes.

She was on land...the last thing she remembered was a lot of water...but..how did she survive that?

"Hey there..."

Misty looked up. She saw a girl with brown hair, sitting in the grass, leaning against a tree.

"Where am..." Misty shook. She jumped up. Thank goodness! She was in her human form!

"You are in my forest. I was just walking to home, when I saw you washed up. You were really injured." The girl stood up. She bowed down. "My name is May. I'm a werewolf, just like you."

"Huh?"

"You were in your wolf form when you were washed up. Plus, you are Giovanni's daughter, right?"

"How...How..." Misty stammered.

"Well, I'm part of the pack." May said. Misty immediately was alarmed. However May saw this. "Don't be alarmed. I won't bring you back, Misty. I just bandaged your wounds."

"Wounds..." Misty almost fell over, but May caught her.

"Whoa, careful. Sit down, Misty." Misty sat down. May handed her an apple. "You almost drowned..."

"Yeah, well I'm not going home. Never again."

"I'm not going to send you home." May reached into her pocket. She grabbed a hand full of cash. She then gave it to Misty. "Here. The city is that way."

"C-city?" Misty blinked a few times.

"Yes?"

"I've never been to one..."

"What!" May exclaimed. "You have never been in a city?!" Misty shook her head. "What the hell?! I'm taking you there right now!"

"But you were just-"

"Nah, I was taking a stroll, nothing special." May grabbed her hand. "Now, let's go! There is so much to see, Misty! Oh, like a mall!"

"Mall?"

"Yeah! Come on, let's go!"

Ash walked through the pokemon store. He saw all kinds of cute Pokemon. But...they were all too expensive.

He sighed and walked out of the store. He just had to give up on his dream of being a trainer. Plus he was a vampire.

Ash sighed and leaned against a wall. Two little human girls ran past him.

What was I even thinking?

"Aaargh!" Ash put the back of his head against the wall. He was really irritated. What was he going to do now?!

"Pika?"

Ash looked down. A small yellow rat looked up at him. Ash decided to ignore the little Pokemon. It was a Pikachu. Probably looking for it's trainer.

The pikachu sparked a little bit of electricity.

"What do you want?" Said Ash. The pikachu tucked at his pants. Ash decided to walk away from it, but it followed him.

Ash now started to walk faster and faster and faster. He walked around corners, through the crowd, down a flight of stairs...He stopped in front of an ice cream shop. He looked. Pikachu was no longer behind him. Ash sighed and was about to walk further, when he saw the Pokemon standing in front of him.

"What do you want?" Said Ash.

"Pikapi?"

"What are you even saying?" Ash sighed and rubbed his head. "Do you have a trainer?"

Pikachu shook his head. "Pi. Pika..."

"Really, what are you saying? My name? Well...I'm Ash."

"Pikapi!"

Ash sighed. "So that's your nickname for me now, huh?" Pikachu nodded. "Alright then. You can come if you want."

Pikachu smiled. He jumped ont Ash his shoulder. "Chaa!"

"So, we're buddies now?"

"Pika!"

Ash smiled. He never had a Pokemon. Hopefully his dad would approve.

He suddenly stopped within his tracks when he saw a certain red head sitting on a bench. She was holding an ice cone in her hand and happily talking a another woman. He walked towards them and stopped in front of her.

"Misty!"

"Ash?"

Drake was sitting in his office. Classes were already over. A few hours ago, he just saw Ash leaving. He knew his son wanted a Pokemon, but dragging Pokemon into the dark world of vampires and werwolves? He though that it was too risky, too dangerous. Maybe Ash didn't knew, but he once had a Bulbasaur. And his Pokemon, his friend, died because of him...if only he could have stopped the werewolf that day...stopped those events...

The phone suddenly rang.

Drake quickly grabbed the phone. "Hello?"

"DRACULA!"

It was Giovanni's voice. He didn't sound too happy.

"Do you have her?!"

"Giovanni, calm down." Said Drake. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Misty has escaped. Again." He could hear Giovanni chuckle. "She is a smart girl."

"Yeah, she must be. But I don't know where she is. Sorry." Said Drake.

"Alright, well I already send the troops out. If you see her wandering call me. Or I'll find you, vampire."

With that he hung up. Drake sighed and put the phone down. His hand went through his hair. What did Ash get himself into?

"Ash?"

Misty couldn't believe it. Here he was, standing in front of her...the vampire which she met at the school.

Ash gasped. "Misty? What are you doing here? I.."

Before he could talk further, May stood up and grabbed him by his wrist.

"Stay away from her, vampire."

"May!" Misty jumped up. "Stop! Ash is a friend of mine!"

"Friend?" said May and Ash both.

"Well...not exactly. But he is also not my enemy!"

May released his wrist. "You're in luck."

The girls then noticed Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Wait, you have a Pokemon?" Said Misty. "I didn't know that!"

"Well, actually."

"Such a cutie." Misty took Pikachu from him over. She put it on her lap and petted his head.

"Pika!"

"Aww!" May sat next to her. She wanted to pet his head, but stopped quickly. Pikachu sparked a little electricity, enough to make her stop her action.

"Well, I have a Pokemon."

"Cool." Said Misty. "And he is so cute! Can't I have him?"

"Pika!" Yelled Pikachu, agreeing with her.

"What no!" Ash sweat dropped. "Plus, what are you doing here?"

"Uh...I...I ran away..."

"Again?"

Misty stood up and put Pikachu down. "Yes. I'm done with being locked up all the time."

"Misty, you're not safe here." Said Ash with a serious tone in his voice. "And you don't want to go back..."

"Like hell." Said Misty.

"You could go to the academy. But my dad will send you back...so...what if...I hide you?"

"Hide me?"

"Yeah!" Said May. "If you're hidden then you're safe for now!"

"But...what if-"

"Nothing will happen." Ash reached out with his hand. "Promise."

"O-okay..."

After that they said goodbye to May. May promised not to tell anyone about them.

They walked back to the academy. They got back within a half hour. Misty hesitated as she saw the gate.

"Ash...how do we get in undetected?" Asked Misty.

"Easy." Ash grabbed her by her waist. "We teleport."

They disappeared for a second. Then they reappeared into Ash his room. Ash quickly shut his door. Misty curiously looked around. Pikachu looked around too.

"Okay, we need to be quiet for now." Said Ash.

Misty turned towards him. "Ash...I didn't know that you could teleport! Can every vampire do that?"

"No. But I can only do it when I concentrate."

"Uh. That's awesome..." Misty walked over to his desk. She grabbed a photo of Ash when he was 6. In the photo Ash was holding his bike. His face was dirty, but he had a big smile on his face. Misty smiled at this. "Cute."

"That was when I won a bike contest." Ash pointed at the picture.

Misty put the photo down. "Cool. I would show you a photo of me, but those are..." She stopped mid-sentence.

"Home?" Ash put his hand on her shoulder. "Doesn't it feel like home?"

"It feels like a prison." Said Misty cold.

Ash saw her eyes turn sad. He quickly decided to change the subject. "Mist! What do you want to eat tonight?!"

"Huh?"

"You must be hungry!" Ash waved his arms up and down.

"Uh...I would like...soup, I guess. And bread." Said Misty.

Ash nodded wildly. "Okay, you stay put! I'm going to get you some!"

He quickly left the room and locked the door behind him.

Misty put her hands on her hips. She gave Pikachu an odd look.

"Pika?"

"He is strange, huh?" She said.

To be continued
