Hello, everyone. Wow, it has been forever since I posted that first chapter, right? Don't worry, I told you I was going to continue and here I am. Sorry it took so long, but I hope you enjoy the chapter despite how patient you've been with me!
Sibella chewed her lip in utter concentration. The purple vampire was working through some intense math problems and one mistake could undo all of her hard work. Slowly calculating through the answer, she smiled triumphantly when her calculator came out with the same answer.
Moving on to the next one, she didn't notice the figure that had come to her doorway, surveying her curiously. After a long silence in which the only sound was Sibella's pencil scratching diligently at the paper in order to get her homework done, the figure finall cleared their throat.
"Hey Sibella, mind if I talk to you?"
Sibella turned to see Elsa standing in the doorway with her arms crossed. The vampire stood from her desk, a small smile on her lips. "Of course." she replied, grabbing her room key as she followed the Frankenmonster through the halls and out into the woods.
"How is everything going with you?" Elsa asked conversationally, her movements less stiff now that she could control herself.
"Classes are going well." Sibella shrugged, gliding across the ground as she had been practicing. "I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up in our physical education class, but I think that has something to do with Lochette still being upset with me for accidentally biting her during my blood haze a week ago."
"How is your training doing?" Elsa inquired, sidestepping a bush.
"I'm not quite ready to go out into the world and terrorize poor souls, like father." the violette sighed. "I'm not certain how I feel about taking blood from innocent mortals. I need it to survive, but it just feels wrong."
"It may have something to do with Shaggy and Scooby." the brunette suggested.
"I wonder how those two are doing." Sibella giggled, avoiding a fallen limb.
"Probably still getting scared out of their minds by mortals posing as monsters." Elsa chuckled. "Pity Scrappy's no longer with them."
"Yes, I do miss that little pup, though I hope he's gotten older. His voice was a tad too high-pitched." Elsa raised an eyebrow at her. "Phanty's voice doesn't count. She's a phantom and I've known her since I was three when I first came here. His voice was just a tad annoying."
Elsa nodded and the pair fell into a comfortable silence, simply enjoying the other's company. The woods creaked and moaned around them, bats flying overhead. Sibella watched them with a smile and her thoughts turned to her vampire nature.
Vampires were such honest creatures. Most monster species' were. And yet, the tales mortals tended to spread were of those who had fallen from grace rather than those who were doing good or simply keeping to themselves. Werewolves were getting it just as bad as vampires while the mummies and frankenmonsters were relatively untouched.
Werewolves.
Sibella sighed as her thoughts turned to Winnie. Her best friend had grown up so beautifully. She was athletic, energetic, gorgeous, protective… everything Sibella could ever ask for in a suitor. And yet…
She would never go for me.
"Sibella?" Sibella glanced up at the other monster and nodded for her to continue. "I have something important to ask you."
"What is it?" Curiosity piqued, Sibella stopped walking, turning to the Frankenmonster eagerly.
Elsa stared at her for a full fifteen seconds, the most serious expression Sibella had seen since their breakup on her face. "Do you have feelings for Winnie?"
Bright green eyes widened in shock as the purple vampire stared at her ex-girlfriend in unveiled horror. How did she know? Sibella screamed to herself. She can't possibly know! If she didn't know, she wouldn't have asked! What do I say?
"I-I don't know what you're talking about, Elsa." the vampire lied smoothly. "Of course I don't have feelings for Winnie. I'm supposed to be looking for a suitor after all. And surely Winnie has her eye on someone already."
Elsa quirked a smile. She's gotten better at lying, hiding herself behind the aristocratic facade. "So, you're not interested in Winnie romantically at all?" the frankenmonster asked nonchalantly.
"Of course not." Sibella replied calmly. "She's my best friend, nothing more."
"And you don't want her to be more?"
"Haven't I answered that already?" the purplette responded.
"Still, it is odd how often I've caught you staring at her. I was just wondering about the strange look I always see in your eye." Elsa smirked to the shorter girl, seeing the quick flash of worry across Sibella's expression.
"I don't look at her any longer than anyone else would." Sibella stated firmly. "It's not staring, I'm admiring her for who she is. Aren't I allowed to appreciate my best friends talents?"
Elsa slowly nodded, seeing that her friend wasn't going to budge on the matter just yet. I can only hope Phanty and Tanis are doing better than I am. Turning her attention back to the guarded vampire beside her, she decided to let up for now. "Are you excited for the upcoming game between the Bigfoots and the Yetis?"
And there you have it. Next chapter is totally going to be how Tanis and Phanty deal with Winnie.
I'm sorry it took so long and I'm working out a schedule as we speak, but just know, I'm in college and I have work to do so don't expect updates as often as you would want them to be... and don't hold me to any of my updates cause things happen.
Aside from that, just wanted to let you guys know I'm now on Tumblr (gothalbinoangel-fiction), Twitter ((a)gothalbinoangel), a Facebook (Goth Albino Angel) and an Archive of Our Own account (GothAlbinoAngel). There are more details on my profile.
And don't be shy about leaving a review behind for me to munch on.
