Oskar and Demetria then woke up in hospital beds. Demetria blushed as she woke up in a hospital bed.

"Ugh, my head..." Oskar rubbed his head, feeling he might have hit it and looked to see they were in the nurse's office. "Oh, my gosh..."

Demetria sat up slowly and buried her face embarrassed in her hands.

"Are you okay?" Oskar turned to Demetria.

"I can't believe I fainted... In front of the school on my first day..." Demetria says softly.

"It's not your fault, that was just Stoker messing around, I just can't believe I fell for it again and he got you too." Oskar sounded angry with the bully vampire boy.

Fou came to the kids in a nurse's outfit. "Are you kids okay now?"

Demetria looked up sadly. Her eyes were kind of doe like when she was sad.

"Oh, honey, it's not all bad..." Fou took out a lollipop for her.

"Where's the nurse?" Oskar wondered.

"Night-off." Fou told him.

Demetria miserably sucked on the lollipop, but made sure to thank Fou.

"You two had a bit of a nasty fall," Fou smiled delicately to them. "What happened?"

"Somebody trying to be funny." Oskar nearly scoffed.

"That boy never learns..." Fou gently shook her head.

Demetria whimpered.

"It's okay, honey..." Fou tried to soothe Demetria. "I'm sorry this had to happen on your first day."

Demetria closed her eyes.

"Here, get some rest..." Fou adjusted her pillows.

Demetria didn't want to rest, but maybe it was best.

"Let me know when you're ready to go back." Fou allowed the kids to rest up a bit.

Oskar took a sip of water as he got comfortable in his own bed. Demetria looked at Oskar.

Oskar looked back to her with a friendly smile. "Hey, cheer up, it's not that bad."

Demetria sighed softly, gently.

Oskar took a drink. "So, what was your 'biteday' like?"

"Painful, messy... Horrible." she says simply.

"You wanna talk about it?" Oskar offered a sympathetic ear.

Demetria shook her head. "One day soon, I promise." she says though.

"Oh, okay..." Oskar decided not to badger her about it and make her feel uncomfortable.

Demetria smiled weakly.

Wren came by then. "Hey, guys."

"Oh, hi, Wren." Oskar greeted.

Deme smiled brighter slightly at Wren.

"Did you guys die?" Wren laughed a little.

"Very funny, Wren, Stoker was being dumb again." Oskar defended.

"Yeah, I guess it was kinda stupid." Wren chuckled, finding Stoker's prank funny even though it was totally mean.

Demetria looked at her. She found it funny?

Wren looked back to Demetria. "Oh, hey, don't take it so personal, Stokes always pulling stuff like that. You shouldn't let it get to you."

Demetria touched her neck absently. "But he did it during my first 'day'." she says softly.

"I'm sorry... I guess I shouldn't laugh," Wren said to her friend.

"You really shouldn't if you want Demetria to be your friend." Oskar gave her a look.

Demetria looked nervous then. "It's okay, all is forgiven." she says, quickly.

"I'm really sorry..." Wren smiled gently to Demetria.

Demetria smiled back softly. Wren took a seat in the chair between the two.

"We're fine now though, someone must've brought us here." Oskar said.

"Yeah, Gruff did." Wren answered with a small smile.

Demetria held out a hand to Wren. Wren smiled, taking Demetria's hand. Demetria squeezed her hand gently.

Wren smiled. "You okay too, Oskar?"

"Yeah, I'm cool..." Oskar smiled, rubbing his head as he tried to relax before getting back on his feet.

Demetria smiled, adoring at Oskar.


Meanwhile, in the house next to the castle, Polidori was up to his usual plans to expose the vampires to the village, much to his granddaughter, Sunshine's annoyance.

Sunshine had her hands on her hips. "Grandfather, will you stop it!" She scolds. "They're not vampires!"

"You'll see, I've seen them for myself, we'll be famous, dear." Polidori tried to convince her, she was just like everybody else in this town, never believing his true tales to expose the creatures of the night.

Sunshine shook her head. She crossed her arms.

"Suit yourself, I'll be back soon enough." Polidori left her into the night as he collected his wooden stakes and garlic.

Sunshine huffed and scowled.


"So, Demetria, you want flying lessons?" Wren jumped up and poofed herself into a bat, flapping her wings frantically. "I learned in a snap, I can give ya a 'wing' if ya want." She chuckled at her lame joke.

Demetria watched her. "When I feel better, okay?" She asks softly.

"Sure thing, it's tricky at first, especially if you're not born a vampire, trust me, I was there." Wren said, turning herself back to normal.

Demetria smiled softly. "Thank you." she says.

"No problem." Wren smiled.

Oskar was glad that the girls were getting along nicely now, even if Wren found Stoker's joke hilarious.

Demetria smiled softly. Wren smiled back to her. Demetria closed her eyes a moment and rubbed her head, still smiling. Wren decided to let the others rest. There was now an alarm blaring, there wasn't a storm outside, but there was an unwanted visitor at the school drawbridge.

"Stay, please." Demetria says softly. She then looked scared as the alarm blared.

Oskar, Wren, and Demetria all huddled together.

"Wh-What's that?" Wren even didn't sound familiar.

"There's no tornado outside..." Oskar took a peek outside the window.

Fou dashed to the little vampires. "Kids, stay inside, it's that menace again!"

Demetria looked absolutely scared. She whimpered softly.

"Oh, it's okay, Demetria, it's just Polidori." Wren laughed. "For a second there, I thought we were REALLY in trouble."

"No time for jokes, Wren, he's got his stakes and garlic belts." Fou headed her warning.

"We'll stop him, don't worry, he's no Van Helsing." Oskar assured Demetria.

"Or Buffy." Wren added.

Demetria looked at the mention of Buffy. Oskar looked confused of who this Buffy was however.

Demetria looked down. "As in... Buffy Summers?" She asks.

Wren looked to her. "I read about her once... When she was a teenager, she moved to a new place with friends like Xander, Willow, people like that... Do you know her?"

Oskar looked interested too.

"Aunt Buffy." Demetria whispers, chuckling sheepishly.

"Wow." Oskar sounded interested.

"Buffy has a sibling?" Wren raised an eyebrow. She hadn't known that.

"She has two... Aunty Dawn and Mama." Demetria smiles, softly.

"Oh, yeah," Wren put a face to her forehead. "I've heard about Dawn too, now I remember..."

"Sounds interesting, so your Aunt Buffy's a slayer?" Oskar sounded scared for Demetria.

Demetria nodded. "She doesn't know me personally, she lives in Sunnydale... My papa was the one who bit me." she says softly.

"Who's your dad?" Oskar wondered.

"Spike." Demetria answers.

Oskar and Wren were fascinated by Demetria's stories and how she became a vampire herself.

Polidori was heard, he must have somehow come into the castle. "Open up, you vile bloodsuckers!"

Demetria heard this and gulped. She waited a minute, then snuck to the door, motioning her friend to be quiet. She then peeked out, hoping he had gone past. Oskar and Wren kept quiet as told. Grufftine and Batoria were shown down the hall, trying to be quiet as they were trying to avoid Polidori as well, he might have been a crackpot and no one believed his stories of the school and students to be true, but they were actually pretty scared right now. Demetria gestured for them to come over. Grufftine and Batoria spotted Demetria and quickly went to her in the nurse's station.

"Oh, thank Dracula you're okay." Grufftine gave Demetria a quick hug.

Demetria hugged her back. She pulled them in and popped her head out a moment again.

Batoria went to check out Oskar. "You're a weird kid..."

"Don't remind me." Oskar really didn't like to be reminded of his hemaphobia.

Demetria couldn't see him, going to shut the door.

"Leave this castle at once or face our wrath, Pallus Polidori!" Nestor's voice was heard.

"You stand back, vile creature!" an elderly man's voice called back.

Demetria blinked, glancing out again. Only the top of her head and eyes visible. Nestor and Fou were shown trying to get rid of Polidori, but were having a lot of trouble. He actually seemed nearly successful this time. Demetria looked wide-eyed. Nestor and Fou had been knocked out.

The tiny man known as Polidori came out, he had a wooden stake and a hammer. "Prepare to go back to where you creatures of the night belong!"

As the only two adults who made her feel fully welcome, Demetria wouldn't stand by as he staked them. She ran out and tackled the man.


The man called out as he was tackled, then looked up to Demetria, not yet noticing she was a vampire. "Young lady, what on earth are you doing here? You should go back home with your mother in the kitchen, there are monsters over here!"

Demetria's face was dark and her eyes were too. "Don't you hurt them." she growls.

Polidori's eyes widened. "Y-You're one of them!"

Demetria growled fiercely. Her forehead now had ridges and her eyes were dark, teeth prominent. All in all, she looked like a female version of her father in vampire form. The old man looked so scared that he dropped his anti-vampire weapons and had to get out of here as soon as possible. Demetria chased him off. The old man screamed as the vicious beast was after him.

The other hiding students looked surprised to see Demetria do this and scare Polidori no less! Soon Demetria had chased them off then nudged the two vampire adults awake. Fou and Nestor's eyes went rapid. Nestor sat up and rubbed his head.

"Uncle Nestor!" Wren cried, running to him and hugging him.

Demetria was still in angry vampire form.

Fou looked to Demetria and had a small smile. "Wow, not bad, kid."

Demetria saw they were okay and turned back to normal. She fell to her knees.

"You gonna be okay?" Fou wanted to make sure.

Demetria gave a weak smile "I think so." she says softly.

"That was very brave of you." Fou seemed to admire the new girl's strength.

"Man, Demetria, you're hardcore!" Klot praised the girl too, very excited.

Demetria closed her eyes slowly.

Fou then picked up Demetria. "I think it's time we all got some rest."

"Yeah, the sun should be up any minute too." Wren agreed.

Demetria nuzzled into Fou. Fou smiled, taking Demetria to her coffin.

"It's quite late, little ones, get some rest now." Nestor smiled to the students, taking them to bed as well.

Demetria rested in peace, exhausted, but happy. Fou smiled, gently setting Demetria in the coffin, gently shutting it. Demetria didn't seem to care she was in a coffin. Fou and Nestor allowed the little vampires to get to sleep and the older vampires would join them.
