Touko's POV
It was finally the night.
The night of my first netball game! I was psyched. I hope Dawn is too.
"We're gonna kick butt!" I told Cilan, as we walked to the stadium in the city.
"Your team is gonna do so great~" Cilan chimed. "I should make a cheer team for your team." He grinned.
I sweatdropped, "Oh god no."
Gary's POV
I wandered out of my dorm, heading from the boys side of the corridor over to the girls. I was looking for Serena.
She's been acting weird all day. I've glanced at her in class and for some reason, she looks miserable. Look.. Usually I don't care, but for some reason I'm sort of concerned.
I waited near Dorm #313. I sorta couldn't believe I was doing this.
Then I thought about it, Serena and I are good friends. It shouldn't be a bad thing that I'm making sure she's okay.
The door to the dorm finally opened, and as expected, a tall blonde haired girl wandered out. As she turned to leave, I quickly jolted to walk beside her. She quickly turned to face me.
"Gary??" She sweatdropped. "Hey." I greeted, walking alongside her. "Going to watch the game?" I asked.
Serena blinked, "What made you walk down through the girls part of the corridor?" She asked. I blankly looked at her, "Are you going to answer my question?" I huffed.
The blonde haired girl rolled her eyes, "Yes. Now what are you doing? Trying to follow me?" She bluntly replied. "No!" I crossed my arms.
We exited the double glass doors, now heading to the school gates. "You don't have to walk with me." She groaned as I was still alongside her.
"Why the attitude? Aren't we friends?" I retorted. Serena stayed silent as we walked. We soon got out of the gates and onto the footpath now. "Why the attitude today? The reason I've been, as you word, following you, is because you've looked upset all day and I wanted to know that you were okay." I finally admitted as she then stopped walking.
Serena looked surprised. "Really?" She finally asked. "Yes. So, Miss Attitude, Are you okay?" I finally asked, annoyed by her recent behaviour.
She sighed, shaking her head. "No"
"Is something going on?" I asked as we began walking again. She was a bit hesitant to answer that question.
"Well.. I'm just upset because.." She trailed off, looking away for a second before turning back to me. "Calem and I broke up."
Okay what. I didn't know they were actually dating? I guess I can't ask questions now and should probably show some sympathy. Righto.
"I'm sorry that happened." I admitted. We then fell silent, soon approaching the sports stadium.
"You're a great person Serena, I know you'll find someone better." I began. "Don't try to let this make you miserable. You'll move on and so will he." I offered a smile, waiting for her to smile back.
Serena then looked back at me at smiled, "Thanks Gary."
"Is there anything else going on?" I asked as she paused for a moment, before shaking her head. "Okay." I let the conversation drop as we walked inside.
The stadium was filled with people from our school, most people supporting the team, and then supporters for.. whatever other school is playing against ours.
Serena walked over to the seated area and sat by Ash, who was sitting by Cilan, who was sitting by Iris. I then joined them as we waited for the game to start.
Dawn's POV
The game started and was playing the Goal shooter position. A girl from the lower year level, was playing the Goal defence position.
"Stop being so nervous." The girl laughed, "The more pressure you make for yourself, the harder it is to score." She added. "You're right." I sweatdropped.
The first half went by pretty quickly and I scored 3 goals, the other team had scored 2.
"Alright, half time!" The coach called as everyone left the court, to take a break.
Touko and I walked over to the side where our friends were seated. We grabbed our drink bottles and started chatting to Ash, Serena, Iris, Cilan and Gary who had watched us.
"You guys are doing great!" Cilan chimed. "Thanks babe." Touko grinned. "Yeah, thanks." I laughed. "You've really improved, Dawn." Ash smiled to me. "Aw thanks." I smiled back.
That's when I heard the coach call my name. "Dawn!" I turned around, "Yes coach?" I replied. "Can I see you outside in a moment?" He smiled. "Uh, sure!" I answered.
The coach walked outside, leaving me with my friends. After chatting some more I decided to head outside to see the coach.
As I walked down the small corridor to the exit, I passed Ursula and Paul. I couldn't help but get a bad vibe after that. You never know what those two are up to.
Ursula's POV
"I can't wait for the scream." I giggled as Paul and I past Dawn. "Me neither." Paul admitted. As we walked to the sitting area, where ironically, people were standing as it was half time, I saw Ash and his friends.
"Ash~" I chimed, approaching him. "Hi, Ursula." He sweatdropped as I wrapped my arms around him. He seemed uncomfortable.
It hurt to see he was uncomfortable around me, even after I told him about our past. "You're going to love me, no matter what." I thought before looking into his eyes.
"Ashy~" I began, getting his attention as he'd tried to pull away from my grip. My eyes twitched, as I began to compel him, "We should act more like a couple, because y'know.. we are a couple." I grinned.
Ash blinked for a moment, before putting his arms around me too. I couldn't help but smirk, "Too easy."
Normal POV
Touko gritted her teeth at the site of Ursula and Ash. "What's wrong?" Cilan asked her as she turned to him. "Huh- It's nothing!" She sweatdropped, as Cilan was unaware of Vampires.
"Y'know.. Ash is quite a player, I thought he was after Dawn." Cilan admitted. Touko sighed, "He is. Hold on a moment." She said before going over to Serena, Iris and Gary.
"Ursula compelled Ash!" She insisted. Gary looked over, seeing the pair in an embrace, before breaking into laughter. "He's gonna blow it with Dawn." He admitted. "But that wouldn't be too bad, because then she could be mine~" Gary added, smirking.
"Do you know what she said when compelling him?" Serena asked, ignoring Gary. Touko shook her head, "No, but when was the last time Ash had feelings for Ursula?" She asked. Serena laughed, "Like.. the 1920s." Iris sighed, focussing hard to use a spell that would force them apart. Like last time Ursula compelled Ash to kiss her. Iris had a spell that caused some sort of head pain to Ash which resulted in him pulling away from her.
But there was no need because a scream was heard from outside that stopped everyone in their tracks.
Dawn's POV
Colour left my face as I found the coach laying on the pavement, dead. I screamed at the site.
He had bite marks all over him, with already dried blood around his neck.
"Dawn!" I heard my name as the other players and supporters exited the stadium to see the gruesome site I'd seen.
"The coach!" Touko called, dashing over, her eyes widened when she saw the bite marks all over him. "Someone call an ambulance!" One of the other team members called. "It's too late." Dawn looked down at his lifeless body. "Nothing can be done." She trembled.
Serena's POV
My eyes widened at the site of the dead body. I couldn't be here. I began leaving right away, I'd never felt so uncomfortable with seeing a dead body as I was now. It almost felt like a reminder that I was dying.
I quickly dashed away, heading home.
Gary's POV
I looked around, noticing Serena was gone. "Something's wrong.." I thought before dashing off, looking for her.
She'd be heading back to the school, for sure. I started super speeding down the main street, heading to the school.
I soon found her, also super speeding towards the school. "Serena!" I called, as I stopped running. "Gary?" She stopped running also, and turned around.
"What is going on?!" I sternly asked. "Nothing! Nothing is going on! Just piss off!" Serena growled, about to turn around and keep going.
"Serena, we're vampires! Dead bodies shouldn't make us this uncomfortable. There's gotta be something else going on." I glared.
"I already told you, nothing is going on!" She yelled back, though it sounded like she was holding back tears. Serena went to speed off again, but I quickly grabbed her hand.
I spun her around and let go of her hand. "What is going on? I'm not leaving until I know." I insisted. Serena held a glare, though she was tearing up. "Do you really want to fucking know?" She asked me.
"Yes, You're gonna worry me. Gary Oak doesn't w o r r y." I retorted. Serena sighed, "Fine." Before speaking in a quieter voice, "But you can't tell anyone." I nodded, "Fine, Whatever."
Serena then pulled down her sleeve, revealing a really infected bite mark on her shoulder. My eyes widened, I even felt myself begin to go pale.
"This is the reason Calem and I can't be together." Serena answered. "He's a werewolf!?" I boomed as she nodded. "And the little prick just bit you!? Does he realise you're going to die!?" I shouted, now fuming.
"Fuck, I'm going to punch him so hard." I gritted my teeth as Serena shook her head, stepping forward, she was now right in my face. "You can't! It's my fault! I bit him first... For some reason I lost control! He just retaliated." Serena explained.
"Retaliated!? He fucking retaliated by doing something that grants you death!?" I yelled. "Stop yelling at me!" Serena scowled. "I'm so angry! At him! Not you! I'm gonna pound his face in so fucking hard!" I yelled.
Serena looked away, annoyed. "Why do you even care, anyway?" She asked in a quieter tone. I sighed, trying to calm down. "Because.. I consider you as one of my best friends." I admitted.
Serena looked back to me, trying to hold back tears again. "Please, don't tell anyone. I don't need anyone else worrying about me." She insisted.
I sighed, now trying to hold back tears. I didn't want to lose Serena.
"Okay."
Ursula's POV
"That was horrible!" I cried, holding onto Ash's arm as we walked down the street, leading back to school. I sort of had to compel him to walk home with us, so he didn't go to Dawn. \_(ツ)/
Ash pulled his arm out of my grip and put it around me instead, "It was babe, so horrible that I reckon Paul did it." He said.
Paul couldn't help but chuckle, "You're really enjoying this compulsion, aren't you?" He said to me as I grinned, "You bet."
"And yes, I did kill the coach." Paul added. "Wow, your brother's a monster." Ash said to me, before kissing my cheek.
"He really is." I giggled, leaning in closer to Ash as we walked.
We soon got back to the boarding school. We walked through to the dormitory building. Ash let go of me, I then wrapped my arms around his neck as his wrapped his around my waist.
"Goodnight baby, I love you~" I chimed before kissing Ash. He kissed back before pulling away, "I love you too." He smiled before I let go of him.
"Goodnight Paul." I smiled before walking down to my dorm.
Ash's POV
I began walking back to my dorm, feeling disgusted. This whole night has been a mess.
"You and Ursula are adorable." Paul piped up, also walking to his dorm. "But two timing is wrong, and with Ursula compelling you to act as a boyfriend to her, I guess you don't have much of a choice." He insisted.
"What are you trying to say?" I scowled. "Let Dawn go." Paul shrugged. I glared stopping in front of my dorm. "Never."
"What?" Paul laughed. "I love Dawn. Ursula needs to let me go." I growled. Paul smirked, "I'm pretty sure you love Ursula, you did just tell her that, no?"
I kept my glare as he spoke. "Maybe if you let Dawn go and actually showed love to Ursula without needing to be compelled, you'd have much more of an enjoyable time." Paul winked.
I shook my head, "Tell Ursula that I don't love her and she needs to leave me alone." I scowled. "Hm, nah. Maybe you should go and say that to her. Oh wait, you can't." Paul said before chuckling.
He then left, heading towards his dorm. "Grrrrah!" I growled, before punching my door. It then fell open, where I heard a voice. I didn't think anyone was back yet.
"Tough night?" It was Gary. "You better fucking believe it." I growled as I closed the door behind me, once stepping inside.
I then looked to Gary, who looked like he'd been crying a bit. "Gary... are you okay?" I asked, as I hadn't seen him cry for years.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Well actually I'm really fucking mad but.. It doesn't matter right now." Gary insisted, laughing nervously. "Don't ask." He added sternly. "Sure." I sighed finally going to lay on my bed. "I sorta feel like crying right now myself." I admitted, trying sound like I was making a joke, though I was serious. I'm so frustrated too.
Gary then chuckled, laying in his bed. I then laid into mine. "Goodnight Gary." I yawned. "Goodnight Ash."
