Nocturnal Maidens
- chapter 1 -
The three friends walked along the halls, secretly rolling their eyes when some popular group whisper while looking weirdly at them. It was still the same. Last year, they were still outcasts. They didn't mind it really. Laying low was another great way of hiding from some other vampires.
"It's the same as always, isn't it, guys?" Emily smirked,
Kenny fumbled with his goggles, "It's life, Emz. It's life."
Mariah just snickered, and yelped when she felt someone bump into her. She groaned as her bottom hit the hard floor. It seemed that the other was in the same condition.
"Mariah!" Emily and Kenny quickly kneeled before the pink-haired girl and helped her up. Some students who passed by snickered quietly while whispering some insults. Mariah saw the person glare at the passerby's.
Already stood up and dusted, Mariah held out a hand with a small smile. "Need help?"
The other girl picked up her books, took Mariah's hand, and smiled back. "Yeah, thanks. Sorry for bumping into you."
"No big. Happens all the time." Mariah grinned,
Emily took the other girl's full feature as she stood up.
The girl had long black hair tied to a high ponytail with chin-length bangs loose at the sides of her face. Her blood red eyes could attract anyone's attention. She was wearing loose black flares, and a dark blue t-shirt with a big cross in the middle. She also wore white sneakers that had some dark blue features. Emily also couldn't help but notice the band-aid that stuck on the girl's right cheek, and the white bandages wrapped around the girl's left wrist.
Emily shook her head, and sighed. She let loose a small smile, "I'm assuming you're new here? Your face seems rather unfamiliar."
"Yes, I just moved here."
"Can you find your room?" Kenny spoke up, eyeing the piece of paper coming out of the girl's pocket, where he could see bits of her schedule.
"Uh..." The girl sweat dropped, "Yeah, can you help me find the English room? I'm a bit lost."
"Sure!" Mariah chirped, "It's just right next to the Algebra room, our first class."
"Well, that's a coincidence." The girl chuckled,
"Well, let's get going. We'll be late if we don't!" Emily grinned,
The trio led the girl to her room, said their goodbye's, and went to their own class.

The three looks rather... different. Bumping into one of them made my search even more easier. Their aura's was kinda weird, too. Maybe they're... No, that can't be. I mean, that can't be possible, right? Being a half-vampire is very rare. Maybe I should search more... I should just keep an eye on them, but...
"Riku Azuki!"
The girl jumped, her long black hair swaying behind her. She heard faint giggles and sank into her seat as she saw the teacher hovering over.
"Ms. Azuki, if you are done swimming in your thoughts, I suggest you listen. Now, care to answer the question, Ms. Azuki?" The teacher raised an eyebrow, her shoulder-length brown hair almost already touching Riku's desk.
Riku sweat dropped, This woman's leaning too much. "Err, what question again...?"
The teacher sighed exasperatedly, "I should ask you to go into the halls for this, dear, but since you're new, I'll make an exception. Now, who won the World War 2? This is an easy question so don't give me a wrong answer."
"The Americans." Riku laughed nervously, as the teacher left. The ruby-eyed girl cursed as the giggles continued. This wasn't what I expected for my first day of school. She just groaned.

Lunch came by quickly and the trio almost raced their way to the canteen. With all the anticipation, they forgot to eat breakfast. And if it even made it more worse, their stomach kept grumbling throughout their classes, and they tried to ignore their stomach's attempt to eat itself.
Sighing, Emily sat down under a Sakura tree while Mariah and Kenny followed suit, putting their trays down on the grass. This tree was always vacant, so the three kinda named it for themselves. No one ever comes in this part of the school, anyway.
"Man, Lizeth won't stop kicking me throughout Chemistry! I can't believe the teacher made her sit behind me!" Mariah angrily chomped on her muffin. Sad to say, no high school would be complete without your official bully, and Lizeth was theirs.
"If you think that's bad, Dana stole half of my school money." The Chief groaned.
"Heh, at least you didn't get Mimi as your partner for Science." Emily snorted.
Lizeth, Dana and Mimi was one of the school's popular group, and they had a knack for beating up the three of them. Mariah, Kenny and Emily could just report to the school office, but they hadn't had the heart to do so. It would make them popular, and that's the least they needed right now. They have to lay low.
"Great day, huh?" The Chief muttered through a mouthful of spaghetti,
"Yep. Real great."

Riku Azuki stood, leaning over the railing of the school's roof. Only a few students were there, chatting happily while eating their troubles away. And she, she was too occupied with her thoughts to think of eating.
My next mission would start tomorrow. Let's just hope that the next day would be better than this first day of school.
She sighed.
Author's Notes: *gulp* I took so long in this chapter... One or two hours? o.O Anywho, I'm thinking of making the BladeBreakers appear on the next chapter, along with two more OC's. Oh, and Lizeth and co. too. ^^'
Thanks to the reviewers!
