Chapter Two
The second reason I didn't want to come to this school? We stick out like sour thumbs. As far as the supernatural world is concerned we weren't meant to really exist. I had only heard of two others to ever exist and they were in Myths.
"Erm, all the above?" I answered. She gave me a sceptical and confused look before looking back at our uncle to explain what I meant.
"Remember the story I told you about my brother David and his wife Holly?" he said, making sure she was taking him seriously. "I told you his wife got attacked by a rouge wolf whilst she was pregnant, turning her and causing the children to come out 'different'?" He used his hands to make air quotes.
"Yes, but I thought you meant they came out as normal human children or even as werewolves or lycanthropes with a few vampire attributes. It has happened, many of time" she said, trying to process what she was being told.
"Ocelia, they're Pure Hybrids or Vampwolves, as they prefer to be called" Tim explained. When she looked at him in disbelief he gestured to us to show her. I looked at Leon and nodded, getting off the couch I stood on the other side of the room. I then shifted into my skin walker form, shedding my clothes and skin for fur, a wolf exactly the same as Leon, except I had white fur with black tips and socks instead. I sat on my hind legs and watched as Leon shifted into his Primary form, the black fur covering his body as the clothes disappeared. His ears became long and bat like instead of small and triangular as a wolf's. His fangs growing even longer and penetrating out the front of his snout with a set of large black bat wings coming out from in between his shoulder blades. He spread them out a bit just to show they worked.
"Okay..." was all that Ocelia said, staring at us in shock, fear and amazement, but we could hear the nervousness in her voice. We shifted back to make it easier on her. There was an awkward silence in the room for about a minute before she spoke again. "Well that makes things ... difficultly interesting." All the Vegas glanced at each other before giving her a confused look. "Well you're hybrids, 50/50 meaning you'll need to learn about both sides instead of one like the other students. I'm going to be requesting your desks have textbooks for both species as instead on one. You'll also be housed together instead of apart like other student siblings and lastly you will NOT fully shift or give away your true self in any circumstance anywhere on campus or during school times unless it is in one of the three spots I've marked on your maps. I'm putting you both down as Lycanthropes with Quasimodite," she explained as she began to type on the keyboard, print our timetables out, and change some of our details. My uncle smiled happy. His wife could accept us as we were and wouldn't rat us out like our father. Leon and I were happy too but were more interested in what she said when she referred to our class.
"What's a Quasimodite?" Leon asked before I could, walking over to the desk to pick up his timetable. "It's an extremely rare genetic mutation that affects the hosts shifting ability, denying them the ability to fully shift, only allowing the person to part shift but still have the abilities of their fully shifted self," Ocelia clarified as she got up and handed me my timetable. "I'm also going to be referring you to Professor Raptor. He's been secretly studying Werepyres so if you need any help you can go to him." She kissed Uncle Tim and we all left the room to wait for our guide. We hugged Uncle Tim and said goodbye.
"Oh, before I forget." He fished in his pocket and threw a pair of keys at us. "I managed to snag them from your father before we left. I'll drop your bikes off later." And with that, he left.
We put our bike keys in our pocket and Ocelia called a guide to show us around. A few seconds later a tall, athletic girl with wavy blonde hair and blue highlights stopped in front of us. Her Guide name tag said her name was 'Kya Walker' and we could smell that she was a werewolf. She took the map from Ocelia and then proceeded to show us round.
A whole three hours later we arrived at one of the tall towers at the far left end of the castle. "This tower is called Sontic Keep whilst the others are called Griffin Keep, Ravenclaw Keep and Windsor Keep. These are where all the students live." We stepped inside and followed Kya to a hall lined with about 7 doors on each side and one at the very end. "These doors will teleport you to your floor. On each floor there are three houses and each house there are three students per dorm, four dorms per house. Each floor also has a hang out area I'm sure you'll like." She looked down to the map to see if there was anything else she had to show us "Well I guess that's the end of the tour, hope I helped," she said, clapping her hands together.
We both nodded and she waved goodbye to us before going through a door marked seven. I looked at my map and timetable to see that we were on the 11th floor.
"Well, let's go meet our housemates," Leon said before opening a door marked 11. On the other side was a huge blue and green fire. "What the hell?!" I just stared at it for a while until I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned round to see a group of girls standing right behind us. The two blondes had their arms folded across their chest whilst the brunette who tapped my shoulder had her hands on her hips, looking rather unimpressed.
"Are you two morons just gonna stand there? Are you actually going to use the Aspire or not?" she asked in a bored tone. Just then the blonde looked over my shoulder and got a good look at my brother.
"Oh Trina, look at the hunk behind the loser." She pushed passed me and started rubbing up against his chest. "So are you new here?" she asked him in a flirty tone that made her sound like a slut. I rolled my
eyes as Leon looked at me before nodding his head. "Well what house are you in?" she asked, running her hands through his light and dark brown Mohawk. He held up his map for the slut to look at and I looked at mine as even I didn't know what house we were in either. "Oh perfect, you're in the red moon house with us," I heard her say. I was in the red moon house too which meant I was stuck with these girls. Just then, the brunette reached over my shoulder and snatched the paper out my hands.
"Hey!" I shouted, turning so that I was facing her and the other girl now.
"Oh look, you're in red moon house too," she deadpanned. I could tell I wasn't going to like these three girls. "Hey Sophie, look who she's sharing a dorm with." She then showed the girl next to her the paper. She looked at it and smirked. "Who's she sharing a dorm with?" the blonde behind me asked.
She looked up from the paper to stare at me in the eyes. "She's with Alpha, Meagan."
"Alpha?" me and Leon both said in unison, confusion evident in our voices. We glanced at each other with narrowed eyebrows. Who is alpha? I thought I had never heard of that name before. I quickly snatched the paper out of the girl known as Trina's hand to look at the information. I was on the eleventh floor, red moon house, dorm one with two other girls – Lycan Jadelyn West and Vampire Catherine Valentine. No one called Alpha in my room. I glanced up at the girls, my eyes still narrowed with confusion.
"Who or what is Alpha?" my brother asked the girls. They looked at us wide eyed and eyebrows raised, then to each other, before bursting out with laughter. I glanced at Leon who looked at me with the same expression I wore earlier. I shrugged my shoulders. When they finally stopped the blonde chick, Meagan, spoke up.
"We could tell you…" she then walked around until she was standing at Leon's side. "Or, we could just show you." She started pushing him through the door. I felt them pushing me in the same direction. I lost my footing and ended up falling through the door and into the fire. I felt a slight tickle before I was falling though the flames and onto the other side, slamming into the floor on my back. I saw the two girls walk through the flames before Leon held out his hand in front of me. I quickly grabbed it and he lifted my up until I was back on my feet. I patted his shoulder in thanks before picking up my map and timetable and turning around.
We were now in a huge hall like area that I'm guessing was the hangout area. In the furthest side of the room on the left side was a huge TV surrounded by different gaming and Freeview devices along with different types of chairs. Over to the right was a bunch of tables and chairs as well as vending machines and ATM machines. There was a staircase that led to a platform that probably had even more tables and places to sit. Closer to us were a bunch of arcade and table games from pool and snooker to foosball, chess, and table tennis. The place was also full of about 30 or 40 students. I could see four fully shifted Lycans, a silver one was at the tables playing cards with a brown one, and a few other kids. One had a girl on his shoulder whilst he was talking to his friends and the last one was over by the TV.
"We got fresh meat everyone!" Sophie shouted, walking over to the TV area before dropping into a bean bag on the floor. Everyone stopped what they were doing to get a good look at us before some turned back to continue their activities whilst some of them continued to check us out, properly trying to figure out who we were. One girl on the top platform caught my attention, the same raven haired girl with red streaks from earlier was currently staring straight at me. She was wearing a black and red gothic looking corset dress, fish net tights, and a pair combat boots. She looked hot leaning over the...wait, what? No. I looked around and could hear the other students trying to gossip as low as they could, but it didn't help them that our hearing was way better than that of an average Lycan or Vampire.
"Wonder where they're transferred from?" I heard one say.
"How strong do you think they are?"
"They look cute."
I felt a breeze and a presence beside me. I turned my head and saw the red haired girl was walking around me as if she was inspecting me. She was just a little over five foot so I had to look down at her. She had fairly tanned skin, and taking one look at her she seemed to be a bubbly, innocent school girl, but I could sense the aura she was giving off. It screamed danger and power and I knew she was someone I didn't wanna be on the bad side of. I crossed my arms over my chest. I felt like I was a show pony at a stupid event getting judged. She finally stopped circling and stood directly in front of me. I felt a little light headed from trying to keep up with her circling. I tilted my head to the right a little and noticed she was doing the same thing. She was really odd and confusing. We then tilted our head back, and a second later, she smiled at me, allowing me to see her fangs.
"…Vic." I heard Leon call, voice dripping with concern.
I shook my head to clear the slight weird feeling out of my mind. I then looked back at the red haired girl to see her still smiling at me.
"You're cute," she says in a sweet, innocent voice, winking at me before she flashes next to Leon. Yes, flashes. "So, I'm guessing Vic is short for Victoria, right?" I nod my head and she smirks, showing her pearly white canines again. She then turns her attention back to my brother. "And what's your name handsome?" I rolled my eyes. If this continues he's gonna start to grow an even bigger ego than before like when all the girls told him he looked like a Latino version of Channing Tatum. It was fitting because he slightly did as well as being able to dance like him too.
"Leonardo, but everyone calls me Leon," he answered. She ran a finger down his chest and stomach then smiled. Yep, six pack located. I closed my eyes for about ten seconds, sighed, and then opened them again to find the girl standing right in front of me. If I hadn't smelled her I would have most likely jumped out of my skin. She smiled at me.
"My name's Catherine but everyone calls me Cat." I nodded and took a small step away to try and get some personal space back. "So are you two related?" she asked, still smiling.
"Twins," we both said in unison. "I'm older," Leon said, smirking at me. Yep, ego's definitely gotten bigger.
"Oh no, he's related to the loser," I heard Trina cry out from one of the pillars that were decorating the room. Before I could stop myself I growled at her. It sounded like a mixture between a roar and lightning crackling, like it always does, although Leon's sounds deeper as if in a cave. I saw Cat take a step back, eyebrows raised. Trina walked over to her, eyes still glued on me as if I was gonna attack her. I walked away to stand next to Leon, arms still crossed over my chest. Yeah, I was beginning to dislike the skank.
"Have you seen Alpha?" she asked Cat. "Jade? She's on the platform with Beck and the gang, why?" she said, her voice carrying a serious tone. "I thought she might want to meet her new roommate." With that, Trina walked off to a huge dark oak door with the words 'Blue Moon House' written on them, a smirk plastered on her face. I turned back to Cat to see her texting someone. A few seconds later I heard a phone buzz over to my right, as I turned to look for it I saw the goth girl pushing her phone into her back pocket, she looked at me and glared before jumping over the rails of the platform onto the lower floor. Everyone started moving out the way and cleared a path for her. I could tell she wasn't someone to be messed with. She stopped to stand next to Cat.
"So you're our new room mate mutt," she stated rather than asked. I had completely forgotten about that until now. I growled at the insult. If I'm a mutt then so is she. She looked, no, she glared at me and it felt like I was staring into hell itself. "Never, growl at me again," she said in a dangerous tone, her voice dropping an octave.
I growled at her again.
"Don't call me a mutt," I replied. I knew I shouldn't be picking fights during the first few hours but these girls were stroking me the wrong way. The girl who I think is called Jade, stared at me before closing her eyes. A second later she opened them again but instead of the irises being a blue-green they were orange. Her body began to shake as black fur started covering her body, her clothes disappearing into the fur instead of ripping to shreds. Her hair began growing and turning red. She hunched over, allowing bones to grow and crack. I saw her tail grow out behind her, the tip red just like her streaks, and the mane of fur going from the top of her head all the way down her back. By the time she was finished she had to be standing at least 7ft on her hind legs. She rushed over to me and slammed me into the wall, not hard enough to break it, but still hard enough to hurt. If I was able to shift I would've punched her to make her let go but I couldn't.
"SINJIN!" she growled, voice deeper and sounding slightly demonic if you ask me. She was baring her teeth at me and for a second I was scared she was gonna eat me. She smirked, most likely smelling the quick scent of fear, before turning to face a tall, scrawny framed, mop haired, nerdy looking vampire that was standing next to Cat now. "What does lady mutt's file say?" she asked. I growled and she added pressure to my chest, making me shut my eyes and let out a small wincing yelp of pain. If she continues she was gonna break something.
"It says she transferred from Sherwood with her brother Leon. Their father asked for the transfer after arresting them for having a fight at a party. She's a Lycanthrope diagnosed with Quasimodite and is a straight A student. The only negative thing on here is she can be extremely violent when angered." At least I won't have to do any introductions.
"Quasimodite? Doesn't that stop them from fully shifting?" Jade asked. I didn't hear an answer but I'm guessing the nerd nodded because a second later I heard a laugh before dropping to the floor on my hands and knees. I took a deep breath of air, rubbing my ribs to try and get rid of the pain. I saw a pair of boots hitting the ground and then coming towards me. From the corner of my eye I could see two guys holding Leon back.
Jade crouched down next to me, her eyes still orange although the rest of her was back to normal, well mostly everything. "Listen carefully," She grabbed my face, clawed hand covering my mouth so I couldn't interrupt her, "'cause I'm only gonna say this once. You're not at your stupid little human school anymore. You're at MY supernatural school. I am Alpha, not you. I run this place, not you, and if you ever think about challenging me again I'll make sure you regret it, am I clear?" I mumbled a 'crystal' into her hand and she smirked, letting go of my face to pat the side of my face with her now normal hand.
"Good." She stood up and dragged me up by the front of my leather jacket. I fixed my clothes and watched as the two guys holding Leon let him go of him, following her along with Sinjin and Cat. Before they all disappeared Jade turned around, throwing a red key at me. As I examined it I saw the number 1 and a B next to it which I'm guessing was my room key. Right, I'm sharing a house with the Alpha and Cat.
"Welcome to Fang High Academy Vegas," Jade said before completely disappearing.
Well this is gonna be Hell.
