The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod:

Freshmen Fears

Prologue

Hi, my name is Vladimir Tod. You and just about everyone else in the world probably have no idea who I am, but I'm the Pravus. The future ruler over human and vampire-kind. I may seem to be just a regular emo kid. But I am supposedly the worlds most powerful vampire ( Gee, if only that were the truth ). The past few years I've been stabbed, betrayed, heartbroken, and even killed. But none of that, nothing prepared me for the pain Id feel sitting in this dingy, grey, mothball-smelling office right now. Mr. Morgan, Bathorys' one and only mortician flipped through papers on his desk trying to find whatever he was looking for.

I was too numb to do much thinking, especially thinking about how my aunt was going to be spending eternity. Otis sat next to me barely composed. No matter how much I loved Nelly I can't ignore how he must be going through something terrible as well. I barely pushed and I was in his head instantly, he didn't have it in him to be defending himself against telepathy.

"Yes, it was a heart attack." He said out loud, answering a question I didn't hear.

"If only it was a heart attack, Vlad could of turned her if... No he couldn't of done anything. He's just a boy, I shouldn't put any more guilt on him than he must already-... Vladimir!" I pulled out hard and fast ( That's what she said ). He shook his head slowly, a tear falling down his face into the corner of his mouth. His ragged breathing made him shake.

I reached over and put my hand on his shoulder squeezing softly. "Well get through this." I said to him. His thoughts were meant to be private but I heard them anyway. There were almost no words, he was just screaming.

V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V

"Its eight thirty in the FUCKING MORNING! Who the HELL is ringing the GOD DAMNED BELL!" Otis shouted his room. Hes been held up in there since Nelly's funeral three weeks ago. I don't know what to do with him. I opened my door and started down the two flights of stairs to the foyer. "Will you calm down. Its eight thirty, its normal for people to be active right now, its NOT normal, however, to be drunk." I closed off our link and opened the front door as I started to hear a string of Elysian obscenities. "Hey, Good morning, How can I help you?"

A cute short girl with long golden blonde hair and cleavage that should be registered as a deadly weapon stood in front of me holding out her phone with a picture on it. It took my eyes a second to focus on the tiny screen shoved in my face. It was a selfie of October on graduation, I remembered it getting posted on Instagram. But the picture was zoomed in with a circle drawn on it of two people in the background. Me and Snow. With our eyes glowing iridescent purple and green. She took the phone away.

"My names Jessi Erikson. I know your a Pravus, I am too." Her eyes glowed iridescent red.

"The fuck?"
