Book 3, Chapter 2. Sorry it's short, but it does have a little bit of magic and some info on the vampire breeds. Then some fluff with Jane, Marie and the group.


Jane's POV

We were on a privet jet heading towards Japan and should land at the airport by dusk. The ride was fun so far because we got to dance, watch movies, and play video games. Though, I wish that it could have lasted because it wasn't long until we landed in the airport. The sun was setting over in the west when we got off the jet. This made the surrounding jungle quite creepy... I liked it.

"Sis, this place is largely unbalanced. The trees are scared, terrified." Marie whispered. I nodded before taking her hand. We had to comfort one another in times when spirits reach out to us and we don't reach out to them. Normally, it would give us headaches to the point of fainting... Not this time, these spirits know how to communicate with us, as if they talk with people like us all the time.

"Vampires are near and there is a lot of them." I announced to our group. We all took our bags and started to walk towards Cross Academy. "Stay on your guard."

"You said vampires, not vampaneze. Why would we..." Blak asked. I held up four fingers and turned around. From here I was walking backwards and I relied on my sister and the spirits to guide me.

"Name the four vampire breeds, Blak." I said. Blak nodded before sighing.

"Vampaneze, 1/10 Rate, Thousand Years, and the Unknown Breed." Blak answered. I nodded and and started to walk normally again. "So, we're in..."

"In the territory of the Unknown Breed. Those of us in the Day Class get info while..." Marie started to answer. She looked at me from the corner of my before looking straight ahead.

"Those of us in the Night Class will be acting undercover while trying to identify the breed." I finished. The others sighed while continuing to walk. "However, Marie and I will have to cast a spell on those who will be in the Night Class in order for us to blend in."

"WHAT!?" Blak and Sololuna yelled. I laughed before stopping.

"Don't worry, if the spell is blotched up then something bad happens to me too." I commented. It didn't help their fear anyway. Marie sniffed the air and pushed me into the forest with our luggage. The others followed in after us. "Trees, please hide us from the world around us."

The trees physically moved their branches so that way were were left in a small circle with a single tree in the center. We had space to preform magic while the outside world couldn't see or hear us. Nat moved our luggage to the side while Jack and Mai worked on perimeter with Chesh. Marie pulled a small glass bowl, a few herbs, and dragon blood from her pack.

Sol, Luna, Blak, and I stood at the north, east, south, and west points of the tree while Marie set up the spell. We were tense to see what will happen, we were going to have our appearances changed.

"Better not hurt like when she made me into an ostridge." Blak muttered. I sighed and sent a shockwave toward him through the tree's roots. "OW!"

"Shhh." Sololuna whispered. I smiled before meeting Marie's gaze. The potion was ready, but I need to say the spell with her.

"We call upon the ancient powers,
To mask us now and in future hours.
Hide us well and thoroughly,
But not from those we call family." Marie and I chanted. Marie sprinkled the potion on and around us while we chanted. Once she finished, I felt my canines lengthen, my skin pale, my eyes turn red, and the scar from when Glitch injected blood in me disappear.

"It worked!" Marie cheered. I pulled out a small compact and looked at my reflection. My skin looked paler than it was, my eyes shone a bright red with bloodlust, and when I opened my mouth, fangs stood out among the rest of my teeth. Then I rolled up my sleeve to look at the mark where Glitch injected blood in me, it was gone.

"Wow. So this is how the other breed looks." Blak muttered. I moved from my spot and looked at each of my friends. They underwent the same transformation I went, including Marie, and looked amazing. When Blak and Sol studied Luna, Marie and myself, their jaws nearly dropped. "You girls look amazing."

"I'm wondering how Marie changed even though she never used the potion on herself." Nat said. Marie lifted her hands and they sparkled with small remains of the potion. "That explains it."

"Plus, what happens to Jane happens to me." Marie explained. I wrinkled my nose as the smell of blood filled the air. My throat burned at this point and it made me want to find where the blood was. Those of us that changed looked like I did. We shared a look before running towards the source. Once there, we saw a panther killing a deer. "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Food?" We answered. Marie nodded before we all attacked the two creatures. Sololuna drank the blood of injured deer while Blak, Marie, and I attacked the panther. It wasn't long until we all were drinking blood and was even shorter until the blood was finished. We went back to the others with the sent of blood sticking to us. Blood stained our clothes and hands while it ran down our chins.

"What did you devour?" Jack asked while going to the other side of the trees with Sol and Blak. Mai, Chesh, and Nat helped us get cleaned up and find some clean clothes.

"A panther and a deer." Luna answered. She was wearing a white high-low dress with a black jacket that stopped at her elbows and ribcage and white pumps. Her hair was pulled back in a simple waterfall braid. "Pretty good."

"Animals always taste better than people." Marie commented. She was wearing a light blue dress with a sheer layer over the under skirt that look torn into pieces, black ankle-length gladiator sandals, and a white shawl. Her hair was tied back with a waterfall twist into mermaid braid.

"Plus they are cleaner than human blood. With humans, you never know where their blood has been. Or what is in it." I added. I had a blood-red dress with a sheer wrap around the lower half, white ankle-length gladiator sandals, and a black shawl. My hair was in a triple-braided tieback.

"Glad you all had fun, but what are you going to do about the fangs?" Chesh asked. The three of us exchanged glances while the guys walked back into the circle of trees. Sol had a white tuxedo with a black jacket and white dress shoes. His hair hung over his eyes slightly. Blak had a white dress shirt, light blue vest, black jacket, grey pants and shoes, and a blood-red tie. His hair was a mix between windblown and ruffled up.

"What did we miss?" Jack asked. The girls and I pointed to our fangs before closing our mouths and getting our bags. "Oh."

"Retraction, it's easy." I answered. I brought my upper lip past my gum-line and I felt my fangs lengthen. Then I lowered my lip to just over my gum-line and I felt my fangs retract into normal canines. "Just a matter of where your upper lip is."

"Okay." Sololuna, Marie, and Blak said while getting their bags. They practiced and then closed their mouths when their fangs went to normal size. Mai, Nat, Chesh, and Jack took their bags and followed us out the circle of trees. They changed into different outfits as well. Each of them changed to more formal outfits.

Chesh had a simple purple summer dress, light purple ballet flats, and a dark purple cloak hanging off her shoulders. Her hair was in a rope braid that went down her left shoulder. The look was meant to make it seem as if she would disappear and show off her Cheshire Cat origins.

Nat had a casual green dress with a white belt, emerald flats with three raindrop holes on the side, and a clover green cloak tied around her neck. Her hair was in a french twist into rope braid and a green ribbon in it. The outfit seemed as if she was ready for spring and it let her blend into the forest.

Mai had a yellow high-low dress with a rainbow belt, pale yellow suede strappy sandals, and a black jacket the stopped at her ribcage. Her hair was in a dutch flower braid with a real yellow rose in the center. The outfit made her seem like she only saw the light and never the dark, the opposite of who she was.

Jack had a white dress shirt, light brown vest, black tie, and a brown tuxedo. His hair was slightly ruffled and slightly groomed back. It was as if he was free and tamed at the same time.

We continued the walk to Cross Academy in silence. The fact that this wasn't a normal transfer had settles with us as dark shadows moved in the forest. My dad sent us here as a mission, to get help from the Unknown Breed. Things must be bad now if he is going this far to get help.


Me: Please review, anyone! And I am truly sorry sorry for the lack of Glitch in this book. Don't blame me, blame the Hanabusa Aido fans that held me hostage and forced me to possibly make him take Jane.
