Motionless in White

My lovelies! This is going to be a fairly interesting chapter giving you a heads up. I used some of my experiences with friends that took JROTC to make this chapter. I thought it would be funny seeing an all guys class in this fic haha Ouran High School Host club status lol jkjk. That's what kinda happened at my high school, there was only a few girls that were in the JROTC program.

Chapter 4

It was finally Elocin's sixth period class, she was put into JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) by the school counselor. The pale beauty was slightly unhappy with having no say in that decision. The thoughts of stiff uniforms, lots of yelling, and harsh humiliation was a big turn off. Elocin knew the elective was just like the military but worse because students ran it behind the teacher. Elocin just wanted to switch out of the class and find a more fun elective, the whole program in itself was unappealing to her personally. Elocin had to walk a long way across the campus until she reached a large tan building that read JROTC in bold black military letters on the front. There was a fenced in area connected to the building that held large obstacle courses for what looked like flying, swimming, slithering, and walking. It made the pale beauty really want to switch out of the class at the idea of such insane and ridiculous obstacles.

Elocin opened the double doors she entered a small hallway with large cases that held different sized trophies, multi color ribbons, different military pins in cases, uniform hats, and a few photos of what looked like classes of cadets from each year and teams. Rolling her eyes, the pale beauty thought the whole program was completely stupid and a waste of time. Elocin could never see herself participating in something so rough and harsh.

Elocin continued to cling to her negative thoughts as she walked through the next set of doors. The pale beauty entered in a large room filled with nothing but male monsters, some dressed in the sharp green uniforms sitting around talking or messing with there phones. The only two familiar faces Elocin knew was Andrew Hardscrabble and Vincent Boggs. All the guys stopped talking and looked up with surprised glances at her unexpected arrival, some of them even had the nerve to whisper amongst themselves. Andrew just smiled and waved, while Vincent just stared and the monster next to him was rudely gawking.

"Um you know this is JROTC right? You lost or something honey?" A handsome blue bird monster asked. He was one of the few monsters who was wearing the green cadet uniform. He had a few pins signifying his high rank and grade.

"No I'm not lost, this class is in my bloody schedule. And don't call me honey, my name is Elocin. Honestly I'm debating on switching to another class if I'm going to be treated like this everyday." Elocin snipped, her lavender eyes held a dangerous glitter. She already didn't like how this monster was addressing her. The other monsters howled and clapped at her straight forwardness. Even Andrew looked extremely surprised, he wasn't expecting Elocin to have such an attitude.

"Oh oh. I'm sorry for offending ya miss. You're one of the first females to actually end up in this class. But you should honestly stay here. I promise you it's not all bad and there's a lot of befits. My name is Zachary Cooper but just call me Coop. " Zachary said seriously as he extended his fluffy feathered wing. Elocin took it awkwardly and shook it.

"Nice to meet you... My name is Elocin Wazowski. So let's cut to the chase.. What do you guys do here and what do you mean by benefits?" Elocin asked as she removed her cloak.

" Hehe wow you're not a shy monster are ya? We value characteristics such as that Wazowski, it's a good leader quality. Well to answer your question JROTC is a program that teaches character education, student achievement, wellness, leadership and diversity. We welcome all genders and species without discrimination, we treat everyone like a big happy family. On the plus side there are scholarships, programs and events we offer that no one else offers on campus and it looks excellent on your transcript when you transfer to a college of your choice. As for the military... Well you don't have to have that as a set in stone career option, but it is on the table. So you ganna stay?" Cooper pressed with a puppy dog pout.

Elocin stood there for a minute thinking long and hard. Did she want to join JROTC? On the plus side they offered sanctuary from other hateful monsters and wonderful scholarship opportunities, on the down side she would be stuck with a bunch of hormonal teenage males and would have to make sacrifices. Looking around the room all of them were waiting and listening for a reply. Making a quick decision Elocin finally spoke up." Fine Yes I'll stay..."

The other guys that were watching had looks of astonishment as they all cheered and shouted for the pale beauty. She blushed and smiled sheepishly at all of them. Maybe this class couldn't be all bad, for the most part everyone seemed nice."Welcome to the team Wazowski. We're glad to have you. I promise you won't regret this." Cooper chuckled and smirked at Elocin.

"Thank you. I do have another quick question. Where is the teacher?" The pale beauty asked. Since Elocin got there she didn't see a teacher anywhere. It kinda made her suspicious and uncomfortable being in a room full of male monsters that were double her size.

"Sargent Adams is in his office doing some paper work real quick. He'll be out in twenty minutes to take role call. He's pretty cool when you get to know him. Just don't ever piss him off." Cooper warned.

"Okay good to know. So what's up with the uniforms? Do I have to wear it a lot?" Elocin said awkwardly. She really wanted to know how the dress code worked. "You wear the pickle suit as we call em, once a week for inspection. But since you're a female you have the choice of a pencil skirt or pants lucky you." Cooper laughed. He couldn't imagine Elocin in a green pencil skirt and black pantyhose for the love of life. The Hardscrabble heir on the other hand did and his face turned red as a tomato. He thought Elocin would look sexy in dark green.

"I guess that's not all that bad...anything else I should know about?"Elocin asked with a hint of inpatients, she really wanted to sit down and text Edda.

"Yeah you call everyone by their last names no matter what. But you'll learn as time goes on and every year we have a military ball at the community center at Lovewick park in December. Good luck trying to find a date Wazowski. From the looks of it you have a whole room of choices." Cooper winked as most of the guys were eyeing her like some big prize to her amusement. Elocin grinned at all of them and winked back getting whistles and hoots. The pale beauty would definitely use feminine charms to her advantage. Elocin continued to put on a small show for them and swung her nice full hips as she took a seat on a stool next to Andrew, away from the other monsters to tease them and began to text Edda as Andrew laughed at her.

"I thought I was going to be on my own with a bunch of guys... But I'm happy you're here. It's nice to see familiar faces."Elocin smiled as she continued to text on her phone. When the pale beauty said "faces" she was also referring to Vincent in a nonverbal way. Elocin may not be talking to the lizard boy at all, but she planned on trying to break down the silent barrier. Elocin knew his silence went much more deeper if he was literally nicknamed for it.

"So You decided to stay in JROTC. You have no clue how happy it makes me to have you here too. I thought I was going to be all by lonesome." Andrew said with a slightly higher voice. Andrew sounded almost awkward as his gray face turned red, he was absolutely horrible at flirting.

he had no clue that Elocin was half ignoring him. The pale beauty was oblvious to the effect she was having on Andrew, just by saying those thoughtless simple words. She had the heir of Hardscrabble wrapped around her finger.

Vincent was also there sitting on a computer chair next to his cousins friend Chad Alexander and watching the whole ordeal with an odd expression on his face. The lizard boy felt butterflies in his stomach , He didn't understand how he ended up in another class with the vampire girl again. It was like the fates were out to fuck with his mind and destroy his sanity. Vincent was thinking about Elocin way too much for the past two days. He still couldn't comprehend why Elocin's presence was tearing at his mind like a banshee, he never was obsessed over a female monster in his life until now. It made Vincent feel almost jealous to see all the other guys in the class foundling over Elocin because she was the only girl there, regardless of her kind. It really pissed him off to see her talking to Cooper and Hardscrabble. He told himself over and over again not to get involved and not to give a damn but so far it wasn't working. He wanted desperately to talk to Elocin but fear of Rex's judgement and Chads presence held him in place.

"Wow Who knew the vampire could be such a fine little vixen. I would so tap that.." Chad whispered to Vincent with a smirk on his cocky face.

"You're disgusting..."Vincent grunted suppressing a deep growl in his throat. He really didn't like how Chad was talking about Elocin like she was some play thing. He treated any of the opposite sex like pets instead of monsters. But Vincent knew deep down in his gut, that the female Vampire was smarter than Chad or any other male gave her credit for. Underneath that beautiful exterior was a masterpiece of complexity. The lizard boy didn't understand how but he was able to read through Elocin's social cues like a book. Elocin's facial expressions and body type fascinated Vincent more then he would care to admit.

"Eh Vince just quit being a damn prick like Rex. You're not going to find a chick with that kind of crappy attitude. Just remember YOLO. You only live once bro. You should never ignore good opportunities when a hot chick passes by. What the hell is wrong with you bro?" Chad spat with a serious tone. He never cared to understand Rex and Vincent's ways of thinking. Chad just automatically thought they were either gay or just not interested in dating.

Vincent said nothing taking the meaning of Chads words to heart. He ran the four simple words through the rugged terrain of his intelligent mind. Vincent really hated to admit it but Chad had a very good point. You only have one life to live and one chance that could be the best or worst decision you'll ever make in your short lifespan. The question was how Vincent would apply it to the Elocin situation, he would have to make a choice... He Would have to gain the balls and talk to her or continue to feel miserable ignoring the pale beauties advances. He had a lot of thinking to do and a very short amount of time to do it in.

XxX

Seventh period rolled around to the students relief, it was the last period of the day. Elocin, Jeffree, Lacy, Ned and Edda all had PE together. They were sitting comfortably on the bleachers in the gymnasium chatting with each other. All the other students were doing the same or playing basketball after the teacher took roll and went to the office. He carelessly left everyone to their own devices the rest of the class period.

"So how did everyone's first day go?" Ned asked dim wittedly as he was reading through a brand new comic book.

"It went okay I guess ..." Jeffree half lied with a slight nod of the head. He leaned back on his big white backpack against the wall trying to get comfortable. The pale nerd was thinking of a good fast pace song to play on the piano for Tomorrow's orchestra class. He wanted to pick something Audrey would have a hard time keeping up with on her violin. If Jeffree bested the Hardscrabble heiress, he would have major bragging rights for the rest of the year and rub it in her dark face. If Jeffree messed up, there would be unfair amounts of humiliation coming from the she devil herself and the whole class behind her.

"Well I could say we all survived the first day of high school but that would be a complete lie." Lacy teased while she was picking at her canines with a sharp black claw. Jeffree only shook his head in a polite nod, he agreed a hundred percent.

"Lacy stop it. you're being over dramatic. It's only your sophomore year and your acting like a desperate senior that wants out." Ned scoffed.

"Just wait until the end of the year. Then you're going to want to drop out and become a hobo. Schools all just a stupid game and I just hate almost everyone here..." Lacy snapped running her claws through her short black hair. Ned just rolled his eyes, he really didn't understand the werewolf's deal. Ned knew Lacy had a hard time fitting in but he didn't think she would actually hate anyone. She sounded almost too passionate for his liking when the simple word ran off her tongue.

"Lacy are you okay?" Ned asked. He was slightly worried until Elocin talked directly over him. "If it makes you feel any better I survived JROTC sixth period if that counts Lacy. Even though I'm stuck with a bunch of stupid guys." Elocin chuckled half heartedly to herself. She was talking and drawing a beautifully detailed forest landscape in her small personal sketch book.

"Hahahaha! are you Kidding me vampy? Those guys are going to eat you up and spit you out. You're not going to last a week in male territory." The werewolf found the whole situation amusing.

"Elo? Em Ich going deaf or did Ich just hear sie say sie joined JROTC? Why would sie do such a blöd thing? Those dumme Kühe are going to walk all over Sie!" Edda began to shout with conviction as her German accent and words were weaved into her ranting. The fluffy monster didn't like the idea of her best friend possibly being taken advantage of by a horde of unruly males.

"Well I understand that most guys on campus are stupid cows but I'm not letting that stop me from joining JROTC. On the bright side I have Andrew and this dude named Copper in that class. I'm sure they'll help me when I need it. There not complete ass hats and they listen to me."Elocin defended quickly, she didn't want to feel like a helpless baby monster. Edda was sounding offaly similar to Jeffree when it came down to her well being. It annoyed Elocin to know her best friend had so little faith. the pale beauty knew she could easily take care of herself in that class.

"Edda don't waste your time trying to talk Elo out of it. When her mind is set on something she's as stubborn and annoying as a mule monster. Let her learn the hard way."Jeffree said with a shrug . He gave Elocin a week maybe two before she thought better of it and switched out of the class like Lacy said.

"Thank you Jeff for the support. Even though you didn't have to sound like a complete jerk about it."Elocin hissed baring her sharp teeth at her sibling.

"If it lets you all sleep better at night I'll try switching into JROTC to keep vampy alive and sane. What period do you have it? I'm in good graces with the counselor, I'm sure she'll pull a few strings and get me in after school." Lacy was dead serious when she offered to switch into JROTC. She desperately wanted to switch out of Spanish I because of the William sisters. They made fun of her kind and Lacy just had enough of them in general. After hearing about Elocin joining the pickle suits, Lacy couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch the vampire pms on all the males that got on her nerves, once Elocin was ranked a higher up.

"I have JROTC sixth period. Are you sure about this Lacy? You have to wear a bloody uniform every week for the rest of the school year And be stuck with a class of cocky guys."Elocin warned.

"I am willing to get used to the pickle suit vampy. It will be worth it watching you smack a few guys around and maybe I can get a hot date in the process if I play my cards right." Lacy said with a knowing smile, the werewolf knew there was a few hot guys that were in the program, including Zachary Cooper. She had the hots for him since her freshman year. Maybe this time Lacy had a chance to get noticed, even if it was by another monster.

"Okay it's settled then. I'm just glad I won't be the only female."Elocin spoke softly as she put the sketchbook away in her backpack. The pale beauty pushed her bangs out of her face as she scanned the gymnasium. To her excitement Vincent was there sitting by himself near an outlet charging his phone and listening to music with his big purple head phones. The pale beauty was over joyed to have Vincent in every class. Elocin continued to watch as his fine golden eyes were closed passionately while he listened to I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage. As Elocin watched the cozy scene it was rudely disrupted when a group of large male monsters with letterman jackets showed up. One grabbed Vincent's phone and headphones dangling it over his head while another was shoving him back with his three tails.

Elocin gasped in worry, it was not okay with what they were doing to Vincent. The pale beauty finally had enough watching Vincent get bullied. "I need to take care of some business, be right back." Elocin whispered to Edda as she got up from her seat and ran straight down the bleachers with unnatural speed, passing in between groups of students and a basketball game until she reached Vincent and the jocks.

"Jump for it Bogg's jump! Haha your is so pathetic and weak." A large purple monster taunted dangling the phone and headphones over Vincent. He purposely let go of the phone watching it fall with an evil smirk on his face. Vincent's face betrayed a hard look of sorrow and anger, his new phone was going to break and there was nothing he could do to stop it. The phone and headphones almost hit the ground until Elocin caught them mid air with her fast reflexes.

"Maybe you shouldn't play with what doesn't belong to you dumb ass." Elocin hissed with narrowed bright lavender eyes. The pale beauty had Vincent's phone in one hand and the other the large headphones. She was livid and showed no weakness towards the jocks. Elocin's chest was high and so was her determination to fight for Vincent.

"Oooh!" All the jocks shouted and whistled except for the one who had Vincent's things. He had a smug look on his face as he eyed Elocin like a tasty piece of meat. He was rather surprised by Elocin's straightforwardness like everyone else that ran across her. "Oh come on baby don't be like that. We were just having some harmless fun with the nerd."

"Didn't look like it to me ass hat.. I have a bloody name. Its Elocin, don't ever call me baby again or I'll drain every drop of blood in your being.." The pale beauty spat as she stood her ground. Vincent just watched with fear etched all over his face and pleading golden eyes. He really didn't like where this was going. Vincent knew Elocin was a dangerous type of monster. The pale beauty had the ability to kill with one swift bite to any exposed flesh.

"Hehe your a little feisty one, I like it. Names Johnny. But the girls call me Johnny boy. You're the new vampire everyone's been talking about aren't you baby? " He winked wiggling his eyebrows and flexing his biceps. The other jocks were completely amused by the snippy vampire. Elocin just snarled in complete disgust.

"Johnny back off, she's not interested in your thug ass. Does she really have to tell you twice bitch?" Lacy snapped. She was walking towards them with Edda, Ned and Jeffree behind her for back up.

"Nobody asked for your opinion mutt. I'm asking her." Johnny said hotly.

"Leave my sister alone or that mutt will be the last thing you'll have to worry about." Jeffree growled baring his sharp pearly whites. He was seething in pure anger. Jeffree really didn't like the way Johnny was talking to his sister. If he had to willingly fight any monster at the school it would be the jock so far.

"Awww little brother to the rescue. How fucking pathetic. You can't do shit, you're small and weak like Bogg's." Johnny taunted with a smirk. He really had no clue what Jeffree was capable of.

"Ja fick off Johnny! Or else!" Edda shouted as she pushed Johnny in the chest making the big jock almost lose his footing. The fluffy monster was literally around the same height and muscle mass as Johnny. She was not afraid to fight despite the gender differences.

"Dude come on. Coach just came back. We can deal with the nerd herd later." One of the jocks said as he pointed to the gym teacher.

"Ugh fine. Consider yourselves lucky. And see ya later doll face." Johnny smirked at Elocin and walked away with the other jocks.

"You okay vampy? Sorry if that jerk can't take no for an answer, he did the same crap to me until I punched him square in the fucking jaw. freshman year was hell for me ever since..." Lacy said with a low growl looking at the ground , her ears went flat against her black hair, and her tail was in between her legs. The werewolf was definitely hiding something from everyone. Ned was the only one who knew something was definitely off.

"Lacy what happened freshman year?" Ned asked. Ned was growing slightly concerned, he never thought his sister was the kind to get herself into a fix with anyone.

"yeah yeah I'm fine. Just pissed off, nothing new..." Lacy brushed it off to Ned's annoyance. The werewolf always found easy ways out of Ned and Nick's questioning.

"Yeah Let's go sit down again. I want to finish my drawing."Elocin half fibbed. She wanted to give Vincent his phone and purple headphones back without making a big scene in front of Jeffree or her new friends. The last thing she wanted was for Jeffree to butt in and go off on Vincent for being related to Rex. And Edda tease her for liking a monster so soon in the school year.

While everyone started to walk back to the bleachers the pale beauty stayed behind and gave Vincent his phone and headphones back. He gave Elocin a shy half smile and surprised her by actually speaking." Thank you Elocin..." He whispered in a shaky awkward voice."You're welcome." Elocin said puzzled as she turned away and walked back to the bleachers. Elocin couldn't believe that she actually herd Vincent's voice, he sounded almost attractive underneath the awkwardness. She then realized that Vincent was her first real crush so far. Elocin decided she was willing to get Vincent to talk at all costs.
