Day 1

Eddward had yet to go to a human college, but he was fairly certain it was no different than the human elementary and high schools. Besides, no one here had to know his secret, and he wanted simply to learn. The Pack was worried he'd be outed, and had sent two other young pups with him. He was thankful, at least, that the three of them had been long-time friends. Three Ed's. Funny how names came and went, and more amusing how Fate found the three Edward's.

Eddy nor Ed had any want to be there, but they would play along best they could. Eddy took classes that revolved around Business while Ed took general classes. Edd himself took as many honor classes as he could possible fall into, and filled his schedule to a non-sleeping point with no specific major to fall on. The three succeeded in making it into the dorms, but Edd was lucky to get one entirely on his own.

This was week three. Ed and Eddy had slacked off and skipped class, disappearing into the wooded area close to the campus. Edd was on his way to his third class of the day with far too many books in hand once again. He could not properly see where he was going, and promptly tripped over a step he had forgotten was there. Books collapsed from his hands and onto the ground and he fell to his shins, scraping open the knee to his jeans. He scowled as he collected his books, listening to students chortling from a distance. He grumbled lightly under his breath, mildly embarrassed by the situation. His books were restacked and off he went again to class.

He was just outside of class, when someone purposefully tripped him and down he went once more. Luckily for him, his books were the only thing that hit the ground. Strong muscular arms stopped him from hitting meeting the pavement. His blue eyes widened, his face just inches from gravel. Curious. Who caught him?

"Woah. Slow down, Mutt." The voice was rough, yet charming. Edd felt his body being lifted and turned so he was face to face with green eyes and short buzzed red hair. He bristled instantly, his blue eyes narrowing. The owner of the green eyes just stared at him.

"You have ten seconds to let go of me," Eddward whispered dangerously.

"Hey, if you're threatening me, I might like it." Green Eyes let him go, chuckling. "What's your name then, Mutt?"

"I do not speak with Vampires," said Eddward, collecting his things. "However, I have manners. Thank you for catching me before I sustained any injury. Good day."

Kevin Barr, the vampire with green eyes, grinned as he watched the werewolf slip past him and away. An elegant hand reached for his sleeve and pulled him back, spinning him on his feet. Surprised, he turned to face a scowling green-haired young man, and a smiling blonde young lady. Sheepishly, Kevin rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh you saw that, did ya?"

"Seriously? Going after a dog?" Nat asked with a scowl. He shook his head, raising his arms to rest them on the others shoulder. "I mean, he's got a nice ass as he walks away, and he's stupidly cute in the face, but you know you aren't allowed. He's a werewolf, and you're a vampire. Remember that age ol' decree?"

"Oh come off it, Nat," said Kevin, shrugging the green-haired vampire off. "You don't know what I'm thinking. I ain't gonna go after a wolf."

"That stupid look on your face says elsewise," said Nat, poking Kevin's cheek. "Stupid looks lead to stupid decisions. Everybody knows that." Kevin bat his hand away again and Nat scowled. "Fine, don't listen to me. It's not like I don't know what it's like to get involved with someone you aren't supposed too." From a distance, Nat's eyes lasered onto another vampire with reddish purple hair who was quietly sitting alone and reading. "Speak of the devil~ If you'll excuse me~" He sashayed away.

Naz laughed, covering her mouth. She turned to Kevin and grabbed his one arm with her two, hugging it between her breasts. "Hey Kev," she said, watching his face. "Just be careful. Love at first sight? Never thought you'd fall victim to that."

He smirked and rolled his head to her. "Think you can find out about him for me?"

"Ha!" she laughed. "I'm not your gopher but I know someone who can help." She put a finger to her lips in secrecy. "Just don't tell anyone about my accomplice." She let him go and began to walk away with a hum. Kevin sucked on a fang and took a deep breath. With a shrug of his shoulders, he put his hands into his pockets and went to his own class.

The complication of the morning only bled into the complication of the afternoon. With the other Ed's missing, Eddward found himself to be slowly outnumbered by vampire's. He hadn't realized just how many lived on this campus, or at least came to it. He received many glares from all sorts of directions, but did his best to ignore them and turn the other cheek. It wasn't until the end of the day that he noticed his fellow human classmates had completely gone and he was entirely alone with a small group of bloodsucking leeches.

Normally, Eddward wasn't the type to think terrible and outdated slurs, but his upbringing got the best of him. Leaving his final class drew him to his second unwarranted encounter with the green eyed vampire. Kevin didn't have to be right by the wolf's side to know when he was in trouble. The smell of blood, even nonhuman, was enough to draw the attention of every vampire in the vicinity. When the ginger arrived on scene, he witnessed the wolf hit the ground with a vampire looming over him.

"Man, for a dog you don't got much bite, do ya?" The vampire assailant was cracking his knuckles and stepping closer to Edd. "Betcha wish you didn't come to this campus now, huh?"

"I'm surprised they let someone with poor grammatical skills enter, I'll be honest," Eddward spat. He was wiping the blood from his lip when the vampire in question grabbed him and hoisted him off his feet.

"The fuck did you just say?" he spat.

"I said," the wolf began, struggling against the grip of the other, "that your verbal assaults are deafening to the ears! Perhaps you should return to primary school to learn your ABC's and adapt a proper and professional speech pattern. Someone will take you more seriously."

"Why you little, no good fu-" The Vampire had pulled a fist back to punch the wolf once more when a dark and eerie presence sent a shiver up his spine. He immediately dropped the wolf and spun on his feet to greet the ginger. "M-Master Barr. I-I didn't know-"

"You know, you probably shouldn't mess with the werewolves on this campus. From what I hear, he's not the only one." Kevin stepped closer to him and the vampire seemed to grow smaller. "I think you should probably go."

"Y-Yes, of course. I'm so sorry!" Kevin watched the vampire and his friends take off before turning his attention to Edd.

"You okay?" he asked, holding out a hand.

"I don't need your help," Eddward growled, smacking that hand away. "Do not think I owe you any favors either." He pushed himself up from the ground and pat his clothes of dirt while Kevin pulled his hand back. "Yet again, thank you." Ouch, there was a bite to that thanks. "Now if you'll excuse me."

"Hey, wait a minute," Kevin huffed, grabbing Edd's arm. "You can't be serious. You'd think that after all these years, our generations would see past the stupid feud and maybe… just maybe be friends?"

"If you're implying that we become acquainted because you've helped me, you might want to have your head examined." He jerked his arm free. "Please refrain from touching me again." His blue eyes flickered up and he smiled as a large shadow loomed over them. Kevin's green eyes went wide and he tilted his head back to face a large large yet dimwitted looking werewolf. He had one eyebrow.

"Is there a problem here?" said another, stepping out from behind the great big lug. Kevin chuckled nervously and side-stepped from the Ed's. The shortest of the wolves narrowed his eyes dangerously at Kevin. "Is he bugging you, Double D?"

"Not at all, Eddy," said the werewolf, patting the tall one's arms. "Thank you Ed, for coming to my rescue." He glanced at Kevin, who looked a bit peeved to have suddenly been outnumbered three to one. "Good day, Vampire-"

"It's Kevin."

Eddward paused. "Good day, Kevin, and thank you for your assistance." He left with the other two, the shortest one immediately drilling him. Kevin laughed and shook his head.

"Oh man… I can't wait." He grinned. "This is gonna be fun."
