{Cassie}

(Next morning )

I still felt guilty about being rude to Yuma so I decided to make a bit of sweets for him. I don't know what he likes so I just decided to make random pastries that I learned to make from work. I hope he likes them...

Now to make lunch for Subaru and I. I was pulling out the ingredients for tonight's lunch when I heard a knock at the door. Mom was asleep so I answered it and I glared at the person who was behind the door.

Our neighbor Mr. Morino. He was a perverted middle aged man, who gawks at my mom. Mother is fully aware and I don't have to worry about her when she's alone with this guy since she can break him like a twig; However, I still don't like perverts like him.

"Hello Casper is your moth-"

"Piss off perv. Go fuck a sex doll if your lonely!" I slammed the door in his face and could here him muttering about hating teens.

Hate you to perv. I went back to making lunch when I heard another knock at the door. ThinkingA it was the perv again I brought a skillet to hit him with, but when I answered the door. My heart stopped to see a hunter. The hunter smiled kindly and moved closer.

"Hi you must be Cassie, I'm Hans I'll be your mother's parole officer." I glared at him and he chuckled nervously.

"I mean no harm. I'm actually a good friend of your father-"

"Then you do mean harm."

"No! I'm not trying to hurt you or your mother."

"Any friend of that man is our enemy." Hans sighed then mutter how much I was like my mom. He asks if he could speak with her and I said I'll pass on the message. He told me mom had to go see a counselor once a week to make sure she doesn't has a psychotic break again. When he called mom psychotic I growled.

"She was never psychotic! If you want any of us to see a counselor get help for that bastard known as your friend!"

"Hey! He's still your fa-"

"He's no father of mine!" I slammed the door in Hans face and he was banging on the door for me to open it, but I went back to cooking thinking: I have no father nor do I need one."

"Cassie who was that?"

"Hans. You have to see a counselor once a week." Mom frowned then fell onto the couch and sighed. I bit my lip trying to figure out how to make her feel better then it hit me. I went into my room and grab my laptop playing our favorite song: Bon jovi Livin on a prayer.

Mom smiled and jumped up singing and I joined her not caring whether we sounded horrible or not. We just had fun like we use to when I was younger.

(At school)

Before class started I went through the second year hallway looking for Yuma and I eventually found him talking to two other guys one with green hair and the other with blonde hair.

Maybe I should go and come back-"Hey Cutie!"

Nevermind.

Yuma grinned and took long strides towards me. He stood over me making me blush because I felt so tiny. I quickly shoved the pastries to him and bowed.

"Thank you again for saving me!" I blurted and Yuma laughed then told me to raise my head. I stopped bowing and he took the food. "You made this for me?"

"Ye-Yeah..."

Yuma smirked. "I didn't expect for you for to fall in love with me so quickly Cutie."

"Eh?!" Yuma gently held face up and he leaned really close to me. "If you really wanted to thank me you should have offered me a go at that sweet ass of yours."

I narrowed my eyes at him then pushed him away. "Perv! And to think I felt sorry about not thanking you probably!"

Yuma grinned saying he was kidding kind of. Note kind of. I blushed and mumbled whatever.

"Hey Yuma who's the adorable freshman?" A blonde guy with turquoise eyes asked. He eyed me up and down mumbling I was Yuma's type. Then another guy sniffed me saying I smelled good-no his exact words were delicious.

Yuma introduced me, but left out the part of how we met and blonde touched my face saying I was really cute.

"If you were a girl I would totally do you, but since you're so adorable maybe I could look over that..."

My eyes widened and Yuma slapped blonde's hand away and gave him a fierce look that scared me a little, but blonde laughed saying he was joking then told the other guy to follow him to the classroom.

Yuma apologized for blonde and I said it was okay, but squeaked when he licked the part of my face blonde touched.

"I can't stand his scent on you." And with that he left.

Scent...?

(Lunch)

"Here's your lunch Subaru!"

Subaru just stared at me as if I did something wrong. Now that I think about it he's been staring at me like this all night. Yeah...ever since I came back from seeing Yuma he's just been giving me dirty looks and hasn't been speaking to me.

I glared at him back and snapped my fingers at him taking him by surprise.

"What the hell is your problem?"

I shocked Subaru a little and he avoided eye contact with me.

"It's nothing really...you just smell like someone I hate with a passion." I smelled myself and noticed I smelled like Yuma. Could Subaru mean Yuma, but how could he smell that from here?

Hm..now that I think about it Yuma mentioned something about smell earlier. Could they be non-human? But they're really cold and have keen sense of smell. That's weird besides werewolves the only beast I can think of is a vampire. But I never met a vampire a before.

I was mostly a sheltered child so they never really exposed me to creatures like me. The only other Dhampir I know is grandmother. So how I tell the difference?

(At home)

"Mom?"

"Yeah sweetie?"

"Can I ask you a few questions about vampires?"
