A/N I got my phone back yay, and also... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY YAY! (9th) The best gifts you can give me are your Follows/Reviews
I've changed my Authors Notes tactics as well as my review tactics - they'll now be in the A/N at the top of the chapters
Azkadellio - I'm glad you liked the previous chapter. You have to love fluffy hehe and as for Dr Kithambo you'll just have to wait and see.
T0ran - Yes, the Lycans and Werewolves are two completely different supernatural species, if you go back to chapter one and the prolugue it explains it a little as well as their future classes giving a few explinations. The reason the Vegas can't shift (at all) is because their forms look completely different (re-read chapter one and the prologue) and would cleanly give them away, they can however half shift (secondary form) as well as still retain their super strength, speed and other traits - so even though they cant shift they're still stronger than the others in their human forms
TriggerHappyWolf - don't worry he'll be around. a Dhampire is a half vampire (the result of a human mother mating with a full vampire male) they are slightly weaker than the average vampire however they get the daywalker trait (they can walk around in sunlight with a daywalker ring or magic protection as the sun does not affect them)
JoriAddict - No as this story is not a crossover. i have simply just used the Hogwarts castle as i like Harry Potter and the castle would be great to house the number of students as well as teach them just like I have indeed used the Nargacuga from the game Monster hunter as well as a few things from Rooster Teeth (Red vs Blue)
Enjoy the next Chapter
Disclaimer: because I have a feeling someone is going to complain, I do not own Victorious, Harry Potter, Monster Hunter or Rooster Teeth. What I do own is this plot
Chapter Four - Food Fight
It was Thursday when we were given the all clear to join the other students in class. Instead of starting in the middle of the week we decided to wait till next week Monday instead. That left us time to go explore the castle and grounds a little more as well as locate our classes without getting lost, which had happened on several occasions, none of which by the way was my fault.
I'd noted that Jade and Cat were in a number of my classes so I'd taken to using Jade's scent in order for me to smell my way around, getting a slight tingle every time I got a strong whiff of it. Leon kept telling me to go ask Hunter about it but I just waved him off. I really didn't want to go back to that lab any time soon though I wouldn't mind seeing Fluffy again and finding out where Dr Kithambo had ran off to.
Right now I was in the mess hall with most of the other students, currently sitting on a table near the exit and keeping to myself. Ever since I got here, Trina and her little click have been going out of their way to try and make my life hell. If they weren't embarrassing me they were harassing me or stealing my food.
Like now for instance.
Trina and her crew had walked over and sat down at my table. As they did, Trina swiped my tray full of steak from under my nose. I don't understand why they do it, I mean they're all Dhampires so I don't think they'd eat it. Then again the halflings could still eat human food but the canteen meat is cooked especially for the bipedal wolf species with all the seasonings and garlic.
But here I was, watching the Dhampire trio play with my food. I rose from my seat and slammed my fists on the table, drawing some of the other students' attention as well as the Narga's patrolling the mess hall.
"That's my dinner Trina!" I said through gritted teeth. I wasn't in the mood for her games today. I'd already had a bad run in with Jade earlier which resulted in my being slammed into the floor. I just wanted to eat and maybe try out the gym that was found in the east wing of the castle near the game room.
Meagan and Sophie both stood up, eyes poised on me and body ready to strike, if I decided to attack their precious leader. By now we had gotten the attention of most of the students as well as a couple other Nargas who were all ready to jump in if a heavy fight occurred. Trina stood up clutching her huge - most likely fake - Gucci bag in one hand and my tray of lunch in the other.
"It was your lunch, but now it's mine." She started to walk off when I quickly jumped over the chair I was sitting on. I was getting ready to charge after her but before I could do anything, however, Meagan and Sophie, with their vampire speed, were in front of me in seconds, making a wall with their bodies. I had to step back so I wouldn't crash into them. They must have thought they had intimidated me as they both smirked and crossed their arms as if to make themselves taller.
I stepped towards them, my irregularly large canines on display and my long ears flattening backwards. I looked Sophie straight in the eyes. I could tell mine had shifted as I could see everything sharper and
precise. "Move." From the corner of my eye I could see the nails on Meagan's hands growing into claws as well as Sophie's fangs start to poke out of her mouth
"Or else what, fur ball? Gonna growl at us?" I was about to respond when a loud scream of pain was heard. We all faced the cry to see a fairly tall Hispanic boy with straight black hair which had a white streak going diagonally across, clawing at his tongue as if trying to get something off it. A slightly pale ginger haired girl with freckles handed him a glass of water which he chugged down before inspecting his meat to see what caused the reaction. I raised my ears so I could hear their conversation clearly.
"Attero (At-Tear-Ro), why did you put wolfsbane on your steak?" she asked. Wolfsbane? What kind of homicidal Lycan puts wolfsbane on their food? To anyone it's a good herb to use to bring out flavours in food and can be used in some medicines, but for a Lycan and Werewolf however, it irritates the skin and fur a lot and can be used on Lycans to force shifting.
The guy, Attero, from what the ginger had called him, han gotten up and started looking around as if he was trying to find someone. "You think I would do that? It was obviously one of Darius' stupid pranks. Oh when I get a hold of him I'm gonna shove his face in holy water." He got up and picked up his tray of food to throw it away now that he couldn't eat it.
Speaking of food...
I noticed that Meagan, Sophie, and Trina - much like some of the other students - were busy watching the scene play out trying to figure out what happened. Whilst the two were distracted, I quickly snuck by them and stalked over to Trina, grabbing one of my steaks off my tray before speed walking off, unfortunately, I couldn't take the whole thing or she'd notice too quickly.
Obviously I wasn't sly or quick enough because the moment I got about five steps away Sophie was right in front of me again. I was taken off guard and as a result she was able to snatch the food out my hand and began walking away. I growled and went to body tackle her when she used her super speed to dodge and send me hurdling across a table, knocking over the student's food and spilling it everywhere. I looked up and regretted it. Of all the students to crash into and spill food over, why did it have to be Jade and her friends?
There was gravy all over her white wife beater and in my hair and her coffee was now on her lap. I looked up at her, making eye contact, and I could feel hers burning into my soul. She stood up, eyes still locked on me. "Vega!" she growled, raising her fist, ready to punch me square in the face. I curled up in a fetal position, using my arms to shield my face from the hit. "I didn't do it!" I yelled, not surprised when my voice had raised an octave due to the fear of having a crater for a face. When it didn't come I took a chance to see why. A dark skinned boy with dread locks currently had her fist in a death grip. The right side of his shirt was wet from what I'm guessing was a drink I had spilled on him. He shook his head before nodding behind him and whispering "Coach Dickers" before letting her hand go when he was sure she wasn't gonna hit me. I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when I heard someone shout.
"What the hell is going on in here?!" I got off the table and looked over to see a tall male, over 6 foot with black hair and blue eyes wearing some kind of combat trousers you'd see special fighters wear, standing in the doorway. He was looking around the mess hall waiting for someone to own up. Finally – and to my horror – Meagan did.
"Tori was tryna start a fight in the mess hall with Jade and a few students and ended up spilling food everywhere." I stared up at Meagan in shock, opening and closing my mouth like a fish. How could she lie to a teacher like that? Coach Dickers locked eyes with me and scowled.
"So you're gonna be one of those students Vega?" I saw Trina walk over to Meagan and high five her.
"But I didn't do…"
"You watch that mouth!"
I knitted my eyebrows together. "I didn't say anything."
He took a step forward. "Oh, you wanna play do ya?" I threw my hands up, what the hell was wrong with this place?
From my peripheral vision I saw Jade walk over to stand next to me, an evil smile ghosting her lips. She slammed her hand on my shoulder, making sure to squeeze as hard as she could. "Coach Dickers, maybe we should have a combat class on Monday seeing as its Vega's first class and she wants to show us what she's made of." Coach Dickers seemed to think this over before smiling.
"Great idea West. You wanna show off Vega, do it during combat practice on Monday. You can have your fight against Jade then." He looked around the mess hall. "That goes for all of you. We do not condone fighting unless it's sparring in the gyms." With that he turned around and left. Jade pushed past me, almost knocking me off balance. "See you on Monday mutt." And with that, she left as well.
I picked off the pieces of food I had gotten stuck in my hair and on my clothes before walking past Sophie to grab my bag. I didn't care about food anymore. I just want to find Leon and go for a run in one of the private areas of the woods Ocelia had marked out for us. As I walked I could hear one of them taunt me over the whispers of the other gossiping students. "Good luck Victoria, you're gonna need it." I walked down one of the halls and took a right, hoping it would lead me to the gym room where I thought Leon might be. As I walked over the bridge I wondered how far down the lake was from here. Maybe if I jumped the fall would kill me so Jade didn't on Monday.
As I walked past the fountain courtyard I could hear laughter. Looking over I could see Leon hanging out with three other students and talking to a brunette with light brown eyes. I started to walk over to them, yelling Leon's name so he knew I was coming. The laughing immediately stopped and I felt the air get colder as they cryptically sized me up. As I got closer I noticed a golden blonde was standing a few feet away from the group, reading a book. She looked up at me, her icy blue-greys locking onto mine before giving me a once over and going back to her book, muttering something about lower class. I brushed it off and made a stop near the group.
One of the guys jumped off from the stone steps he was sitting on and made his way over to stand right in front of me. He had a stocky build, slight square features, sandy blonde hair that was styled like a rocker. He narrowed his blue eyes at me before talking, "Who're you?" He moved to the side to look at Leon then back at me, eyes sparkling as if something just clicked in his head. "No way." he looked at Leon, pointing at me. "This your sister?"
Leon nodded before walking over and throwing his arm around my shoulder. I tensed, thinking he was gonna do that thing where he puts me in a head lock and ruffles my hair in front of his friends. "Sis, meet Will, Nick, Erica and that over there is Irene," he said, pointing to each person. "Guys, this is my sister Victoria, or Tori, as she's prefers."
"Wait, wait, you're Tori Vega? You're what all the fuss is about? I have admit I was expecting someone more... higher class than you." I looked at the girl Leon introduced as Irene, her book resting under her arm. "Well, sorry to disappoint," I muttered, knowing full well she'd hear it with her vampire hearing. I then turn back to my brother. "Where were you at lunch anyway? I had to get Trina off my back, which as you can tell, didn't work out so well." Leon stepped back over to where he was originally sitting.
"I was making friends, as you can see." He gestured to the small group of people. "What happened anyway?"
"I got..."
"She challenged Jade to a sparring match during combat class on Monday." Irene interjected, causing everyone to gape and gasp. "No way," the one with green eyes and dark hair, I think his name was Nick, said, going into a crouch on the stone railing, sitting on the heels of his trainers.
"You did what?!" Leon almost shouted in chorus with him.
I held up my hands and shook my head. "No! I got shoved into the table she was eating on and then the teacher came in saying I was some hotshot new student and Jade suggested I 'show my skill' during class on Monday." I then glared at Irene. "I did not challenge Jade," I said, putting emphasis on the word 'not' to make it clear. She held up her hands in mock surrender before going back to her book. "I have to either get Jade to call it off or hope coach forgets."
The two guys and one girl suddenly burst into laughter, holding each other for support. Eventually Nick was able to calm down enough to explain. "Jade turning down a challenge is like Caboose becoming a genius, never gonna happen." He wiped the tears from his eyes before continuing. "An' coach never forgets about things when it comes to Combat 101."
As panic began to settle in my stomach I had to know how deep of a grave I had been buried in. "How...skilled is Jade when it comes to fighting?" I wanted to know what I was exactly facing and see how much of a miracle I have to pray for during the weekend.
Nick was about to speak when Irene answered for him instead. "Jade is classed as one of the most skilled fighters in the school. There are currently only three in our year." She looked up at me, making sure to hold my eye contact as she continued. "I'd say you'd last less than five minutes against her max." She then went back to her book before adding, "If you get lucky and get to choose a second opponent, which coach let's some people do, I suggest picking Alexis. That might just save you getting 50 shades of your ass handed to you."
I frowned. I was hoping that maybe the little Tai-Jitsui I had picked up from watching movies and a few classes I'd taken would maybe help me but from the sounds of it I was screwed either way. I looked at the others who gave me a sympathetic smile, before agreeing with Irene's last statement. Leon got up to hug me, trying to comfort me, but it just didn't work. I just had to hope against hope that some miracle would happen and that this Alexis person would help me.
