Chapter 12 – The Truth (2)

"This concludes our meeting, find Anthem and bring him back ALIVE!" May commanded. "Yes mi'lady!" was replied in every corner of the room and every vampires left the room leaving May, Misty, Paul, Reggie, Winona and Shadow alone.

"Mi'lady, this is your journal" Winona said as she gave May a brown old thick little journal. May took it and thanked her and hugged it tightly to her chest.

"Mi'lady, about the human boy" Shadow said

May looked at him and Shadow continued "I've found him"

"Take me to him" was the only order and Shadow bowed.

It was a cloudy day and the students were outside having their gym class taking place. "Man… why should we run 5 laps!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Well the coach wasn't happy so he runt it out on us" Jessica replied.

Dawn sighed and looked up as she ran her 3rd lap, "Why can Paul, May and Misty skip gym?" she whined

"Who knows…" Jessica replied and soon fainted.

"JESSICA!" Dawn cried out and quickly held onto her.

"What's the matter Dawn!?" Ash and Drew called out as they ran back to her when they heard Dawn.

"Jessica… Jessica she fainted" Dawn replied in a panicked voice.

"Calm down, Dawn. Let's take her back to the coach" Drew suggested

"Ah! Jess!" A voice called out.

Drew, Ash and Dawn turned around and saw a woman at around 30 to 35 years old with brown eyes and light blue hair in a black tight mini skirt and a black crop shirt cried out and ran towards them. "What happened to my little Jessica?"

"Sorry ma'am, your daughter just fainted that's all" Ash explained.

"Oh… don't worry just give her something to drink" the woman explained

"Alright let me go get her a bottle of water" Drew said as he turned around but was stopped.

"There's no need boy, water won't help my daughter"

"But!?" Dawn cried out worriedly.

"Do you want to help my daughter little girl?" the woman asked Dawn

Dawn nodded and the woman smiled, "Its simple just lean your neck towards her mouth" Dawn looked curious but the woman just smiled and nodded.

Paul looked down at the field where all of his classmates are having gym, his eyes went wide at the sight of Dawn slowly exposing her bare neck to Jessica as she smirked and slowly opened her mouth. Paul gritted his teeth and jumped down from the roof.

Jessica's fangs were about to dig into Dawn's neck but was stopped by the sound of someone falling down and someone asking "What do you think you are doing Crimson?"

Jessica turned her head around and faced an angry looking Paul with his hands in his pockets and looking down at her.

"Master Paul, we we-" the woman replied, since Jessica was too afraid.

"SILENCE! I WASN'T ASKING YOU!" Paul exclaimed at the woman. Dawn, Ash and Drew were speechless and shocked to see Paul from where god knows where he magically appeared. Every other students stopped in their track and turned around to see the commotion, while the coach was on the ground too taken by the sudden drop of Paul Von Ruden dropping onto the ground safe and unhurt from a high place.

"What were you planning to do Jessica Crimson" Paul asked again.

"M… Master Paul… I was trying to… to…" Jessica started.

"To?"

"To… to drink her blood…" Jessica finished. Dawn looked shocked and everyone started to whisper amongst themselves about Jessica being a vampire, even Drew and Ash were speechless. Before Dawn could push Jessica away, Paul grabbed hold of Jessica's neck and held her in the air.

"Jessica Crimson, you do know the penalty of biting a human right?" Paul asked in an angry tone.

"Y… Yes sire…" Jessica managed to choke out.

"MASTER PAUL PLEASE SPARE MY DAUGHTER!" The woman cried out.

"No! This was a direct order from the lord herself! AN ORDER THAT YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW!" Paul barked at the woman.

"Yes, but Jessica is… Jessica is still a child! Please Master Paul, I beg of you to please spa-"

"Isabella Crimson" a voice called out and caused everyone to look at the gate of the school with 3 men with 2 girls making their way where Paul and the others are a and the woman known as Isabella slowly turned around.

"M… Mi'lady" Isabella greeted and went on her knees. Whispers could be heard 'May's a lord?!', 'then that means… the Von Ruden family are vampires'. Drew couldn't believe in his eyes that the girl he loves is actually a vampire, nor could Ash as he watches Misty giving orders to the three men that followed them.

"What do you think you are doing here? I'm sure that you and Jessica has been exiled away from us and humans" May stated as she looked at Isabella.

"Of course, mi'lady" Isabella replied. May looked at Jessica who was still being held in the air and then she looked at Dawn who was hiding behind her two best friends, Ash and Drew.

"Explain yourself Isabella" Misty said.

"As you wish, Lady Misty. We were set free from being exiled by the orders of our lord herself. We were dying out of thirst so, we came to the human world and drank some blood from some packets that we found in hospitals. Then there was an order saying that we can drink human blood straight from biting on their neck, we decided to target this school because there are some lovely young and fresh -" before she could finish her sentence there was a loud slap.

"I did not give such orders" May said as she glares at Isabella.

"Now Isabella, tell me the truth" May ordered. Isabella looked at May and glared at her.

"This is the reason why we hate you and your family as well as your other followers." Isabella started.

"You continue to hold onto the ideal dream that Lord Norman wishes to achieve but he himself truly knows that the dream is out of reach. Humans are food, not friends, they can be slaves as well but they are definitely NOT our friends. They are our prey, the food that we feast on and they even kill us because we feast on them! THEY ARE THE ONE WHO ARE THE BLOODIEST CREATURES! THEY ARE THE ONES WITHOUT A HEART! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT TAKES AWAY THE PEOPLE THAT WE LOVE! My lord, Lady Misty and Master Paul, the three of you UNDERSTAND THE MOST! And yet you guys held onto the pathetic dream that Lord Norman couldn't even pursue! You three are poor vampires that doesn't have ANY guidance from your own parents! You need to receive guidance from your parents' friends! How PITIFUL! NO FRIENDS! NO FAMILY FOR THE LORD! YOU THREE ARE A DISGRACE TO US VAMPIRES NOT U-"

"AHHHHH!" Dawn screamed at the sight of Paul stabbing through Isabella's stomach with his eyes blood red and with a look of rage and with lots of blood coming out of Isabella's stomach and some bloods has been sprayed around the small area that they are standing.

"You can bad mouth me but never bad mouth about my parents, Paul, Misty, their parents, their families, my followers and the humans." May said as she controlled Isabella's blood and made it into a spear and aimed pierce through her right ankle causing her to scream in pain.

Jessica who was released from Paul's grasp quickly whistled loudly but nothing happened.

"Calling for someone?" Misty asked.

Jessica looked up at Misty, and said "Yeah, OUR allies"

"Your allies that were with you around this school has all been captured" Jessica looked crestfallen and looked at the ground.

"Give up Jessica Crimson, your punishment will be taken place back at the meeting chambers" Misty said.

Jessica put her face in her hands and cried. Misty looked at May and May nodded, "Guards! Seize her!" Misty ordered. Two men came to Jessica and each grabbed hold of her arm and took her away, without anyone noticing Jessica was smirking.

"Isabella, where is the last vampire weapon?" May asked as she look at the dying vampire.

Isabella was able to give out one last smirk and said "That's for us to know and for you to find out, Lord"

May glared at her and ordered the last guard to take Isabella away.

Once Isabella was no longer within the school ground, Misty, May and Paul all turned around to face Dawn, Drew and Ash. Dawn looked at them with a disappointment look.

"You lied to us" Drew stated

"Yes, yes we did" May replied

"Mist… you…" Ash started

"Yes Ash, I was born a vampire and will always stay as a vampire" Misty replied.

"We believed and trusted you guys! And this is how we get repayed!?" Dawn screamed. Paul said nothing but looked at her with his normal onyx eyes.

"Dawn listen we ju-" May started

"Just what!? Just so that you could have the chance to drink our blood!?" Dawn cut in.

"You all betrayed our trust! You never once saw us as your friends" Dawn silently added.

May and Misty looked at Dawn with sad look. Before May could say anything next, she slowly made her way to Drew and said "That's right… and I'm thirsty… give me your blood Drew Hayden"

"Wha-" Drew was taken aback so was Dawn and Ash as they watched their friend getting attacked by May who forced herself onto Drew with her fangs shown and Drew closed his eyes.

"MAY!" Paul and Misty called out in a panicked and worried tone. Drew opened his eyes and noticed that he was facing the school instead of the school gate where everything took place and was also on the ground using his hands to support himself and May. He also realized that he felt nothing like fangs bitten into his exposed neck but felt something warm on his body. He looked down and saw May holding herself up with her own hands beside his body and was panting hard.

"A… are… you… al… right… Dr…Drew?" May asked through her heavy breathing. Drew was speechless his eyes were wide as he digest the look of May.

May was panting so hard, he then looked at May's stomach and his eyes went even wider than before when he noticed that there was a spear pierced through May's stomach and lots of her blood were flowing out.

"I'm fine May" Drew finally replied when he found his voice.

May gave a small weak smile and quickly but carefully got away from Drew and stood up. Misty ran towards May but May stopped her and looked at Ash while Paul sent some dark shadow ball at the roof.

"Please Ash… this is my last request please pull out this weapon out of me" Ash looked dumbfounded not knowing what he should do, when he looked at Misty, Misty was pleading him too, when he looked at Dawn, Dawn didn't care and when he looked at Drew… Drew nodded and Ash nodded back that he went to May and grabbed hold of the weapon and pulled it out causing May to spit out more blood.

"Th…thank… you…" May choked out as she begins to faint and Misty grabbed hold of May and Paul made his way back to them.

"Couldn't catch them, I'm sorry May" Paul apologized. May shook her head saying that it's alright. Paul sighed and picked May up bridal style and said "Come Misty we need to get home now before May dies due to lack of blood" Misty said nothing and she and Paul left the school.

*Cries* Please… Review! WAHHHHH!
