So, ok turning up my music did not cover up my mums raised voice.
That and my dads growling sounded much more like a wild dog then the handsome late 20's early 30's looking man he was. His looks could capture even the pickiest woman's' heart, dark hair and eyes that were as deep as the night its' self with skin as pale as moonlight.
"You took her hunting! How can you not see how wrong that is Michael?"
My mother's voice rising easily over both my music and my fathers growling.
"She is human, she lives with humans, and her friends are human. She is not like you!"
I sighed getting up off my bed and stepped towards the door. My mother did have a point it was very rare I got to spend any real time with my dad, and of all the things he could pick too do he chose too take me hunting.
"She starts her new school tomorrow! For the love of god it's been hard enough trying too make her feel normal."
I opened the door, the whole house felt tense and sickening. I could feel the hate fill my mother even from so many rooms away, my father hid his feelings a little more then my mother could, but I still felt the anger in him towards my mother for what he felt was making me hide who I truly was.
"She is not normal! She is exceptional; beyond perfect the only regret I ever had in regards to Garnet is that you were the one to birth her."
My fathers' voice was rich with anger and violence. This coursed me to reach the kitchen in a split second, my inhuman speed making my mother nearly jump out of her skin.
"Oh Garnet! Everything is fine, go back too your room honey really your father and I are just speaking with one another."
I rolled my eyes at my mother, how stupid did she think I was even if I did have human hearing the people three houses away could hear every word between my parents. I was simply glade that they had no clue to what they were going on about.
I stepped in front of my mother almost shielding her from my very angry and very dangerous vampire father.
"Garnet it's fine really." My mothers voice was a little too calm for my liking sometimes I think she forgets that my father could snap her neck before she could scream for help.
I however was very aware of it.
"Do not ever bare fangs to the woman that gave me life!"
I growled very low towards my father. My mother was not so observant about whether my fathers' fangs were out or not.
I heard my mothers little intake of breath as she realized just how angry my father was while they argued. He made a great show of retracting his fangs in full view of my mother.
I sighed and shook my head these were the two beings that created me, through some weird twisted fate. It was no secret as too how it happened, my mother despite how she looked at this moment hair a mess and cloths old and ragged, having just spent the whole day spring cleaning the attic. Was a beauty, long chestnut hair that waved down her back eyes warm brown, flecks of gold running through the brown and a body too die for so curvy and womanly not some silly stick thin model.
That beauty had been what captured my fathers' eye and of course my mother would have been a fool not too fall for my fathers looks. It had been a bit of a shock when two months into a simply physical relationship my mother had dropped the news that she was pregnant and preceded to tell my father that if he thought she was going too get read of their baby he had another thing coming.
Of course my dad simply thought that the silly little human he had been toying with had at some point been sharing her bed with another human while still seeing him.
It was three months into the pregnancy before my mother went for her first scan not really caring too much that the father of her unborn child had not been around. That however changed when the nurse told my mother that the baby's heart beat was very strange and that a few of my mothers' blood tests came back a little abnormal.
Four days it took my mother to final hear back from my father. He was not as polite as he should have been telling my mother point blank that there was no chance that the child she carried was his and that it was simply not his problem.
My mother went through seven months of hell during her pregnancy blood tests after blood tests, so many scans she lost count. Then there was the cravings raw meat and lots of it even after nurses and doctors told her a little raw meat was ok, but after eating four completely raw steaks my mother began too panic about what could be wrong with the unborn baby inside her. Thirty phone calls in four days to my father final got a response.
My father took pity on my mother and told her even though there was no way he believed the child was his. He did agree to help her by taking her too a specialist doctor too check the health of the baby. It was the moment the doctor went to draw a blood sample my father fell into shocked silence. The blood scent that filled the air was the one and only thing to ever scare my father or so he has told me.
He didn't leave my mothers' side till I was born.
An impossible baby is what I was called even my fathers doctors could not explain my being I was and am a one of a kind.
A born half breed, half vampire, half human.
"I only drink animal blood you know that dad." I said stepping closer too my now calming father wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest listening to the silence that comes from within.
He sighed down at me and I felt him kiss the top of my head burying his nose into my hair and dragging in my scent.
"I know my princess. I am sorry please forgiving your silly father for not thinking."
I smiled shaking my short layered black hair out tingling my fathers' nose.
"It is because you're so old your brain doesn't work right any more."
My dad growled playfully at me and hugged me tightly. I struggled out of his grip and giggled, jumping towards my mum and wrapping my arms around her waist as my father growled chasing me to my hiding spot behind my mother. I smirked poking my tongue out at my father as he went to grab me, right before he suddenly found himself floating in mid air.
At this point even my mother was giggling as I telekenticital floated my father too the kitchen ceiling.
"I m glad you find this so funny Claire. Would you please tell your daughter to let me down?"
I looked at my mother with a little pout. She smiled at me before turning too my father
"So now she is my daughter."
He rolled his eyes right before he landed gently on his feet.
They may hate each other more then anyone else in the world, but there was one thing they did see eye too eye on and that was that they knew they both loved me more then anything else in either of their lives.
"Ok just breathe and keep walking" I whispered to myself as I passed a small group of teenagers sat on the school steps. One of them smiled at me and nodded her head making her long red hair catch the blazing sun. My god my mother was so dead when I get home tonight of all the brain dead stupid ideas she had. How in the hell did she even find this school I mean what was she thinking it's a school for superheroes for the love of god.
I smiled and tried my best to sweetly say good morning to the few students that seemed interested in greeting me.
"So you must be new here." The hippy red hair I had seen out the front of the school said as she smiled piling books into her locker two down from my own.
I took yet another deep breath, for someone that didn't need as much air as normal human beings did I was doing a lot of breathing today. "Yeah I m Garnet, and you are?"
"That's Layla and I m Will." I had heard the boy coming up behind me but I jumped a little for affect as he appeared next to me, then quickly took his spot next to the girl.
"So your new here you gone through the power placement yet, it's a little different then it used to be but I think it's for the good." Will said wrapping an arm around Layla.
'Power placement what the hell had my mother gotten me thrown in the middle of maybe I should rethink all the times I stopped my dad from killing her out of frustration.'
Layla was smiling at me a little too wide as she waited for an answer I had already had the pleasure of meeting the strange principle powers and she had mentioned something about gym class this afternoon.
"I think it's being taken care of during gym class I guess you don't get many students joining in the middle of the year."
They both smiled and nodded.
"Well you should stick with us till then meet the rest of the group." Will said. As Layla took my arm and began dragging me through the halls.
I was cursing my mother to the deepest pits of hell as I was dragged from class to class the principle had told me to spent the morning sitting in on any of the classes that I thought looked interesting so Will and Layla saw fit to drag me through their morning schedule.
I was introduced to several people as the morning went on most of them seemed to want to know what my power was, I was quick to side step that question every time it came up.
The schools list of powers were large but I noticed that several students had similar powers I was racking my brain trying to thing of one of my gifts I could use as a power but be over looked something silly and a little useless. After all not everyone had great powers Will was super strong and could fly, Layla could control plant life but there were a few of their friends who's powers weren't as useful the purple girl that could shape shift but only in to a guinea pig. The glow boy with hair so white I wonder why he needed to glow I m pretty sure his hair could do the trick.
'So think Garnet you need a power that's believable but also completely useless.'
The trouble with good plans sometimes the world is against you from the start.
"Wait you don't even know my power yet." I nearly screamed at the teacher Boomer.
"You're the first student to enter in the middle of the school year. SO GET IN THERE."
The vibration shook the room and I had to hold back a very angry growl.
Layla appeared as if from no where. "I don't even know why they still let those two play save the citizen we all know they are villains they tried to take over the school the beginning of the year."
"Oh well that's just great." I said as I glanced at the two boys ok so the one twisting his head all the way around must have like a rubber body or something. God and how ironic the fat kid had super speed well if you called it that I had seen newly risen vampires run faster.
"Ok then now do we have a volunteer to pair up with the new girl?" Coach Boomer echoed out over the gym.
'wait I have to do this with someone else oh shit I hope you cant really get hurt doing this though by the looks the two villains are giving me I m guessing I can get really hurt.'
At the exact moment I saw Layla nudge Will to stand up and pair with me the gym doors banged open.
"Ah Mr Peace thank you for volunteering." Coach Boomer called over the gym.
Who ever he was he didn't look happy to have to pair with me his hair hung as a black curtain on either side of his face.
"That's Warren don't worry he is a friend of Will's and mine you will be fine." Layla said smiling from her seat just close enough to talk to me from. she even waved at Warren as he came and took his place by me.
"Warren this is Garnet, Garnet Warren." Layla said with a smile and a nod.
All I managed was a small nod before the horn sounded.
'I don't even know what the hell I m meant to do what the hell kind of school is this.'
"Get the citizen I'll take care of those two." Warren said and smiled at my slightly confused face, right as he flicked his wrists and his arms court fire.
The next few minutes were really just a blur I started towards the citizen only to be stopped by the fat speeder. He smiled as if it was the funniest thing in the world then darted off in the other direction. It was Warren's gasps for air that made me turn the rubber guy had managed to hold him to a pole while the speeder was running around drawing the air from him. I heard the Coach bellow something about that's enough and the buzzer sounded but they didn't stop someone bolted from the room for the principle and the coach tried to come break it up but was stopped by what I can only describe as a cheerleading team of just one girl.
I don't know why I did it clearly they would not of killed him there was a whole room full of superheroes for god sake but I snapped.
I growled and was across the room in less then a blink, the speeder stopped dead to stare at me and I knew why I was mad really mad and my fangs where resting gently against my lower lip then I felt my eyes change as I flicked my wrist and both boys were pinned to the wall held in place by nothing. I turned when I heard the gasp of the silly cheerleader and her and all of her clones joined the boys on the wall.
I really don't know what was going through my mind as I did the next thing I mean my dad feeds off people to live but seeing people hurt someone simply because its fun turned my insides red. So as I held them in place on the wall I pulled and as I pulled all the clones vanished.
"Well it would seem I was not needed." Principle powers voice snapped me back to myself and I dropped all three on the floor with a crash.
I tried to bury my face in my hair my fangs were still out and I could still feel my eyes burning gold from over use of my gifts.
"Is everyone alright." The principle said as she placed a hand on my shoulder I tried to turn away but she held firm.
"What the hell is she?" My head snapped up to that the speeder had got to his feet if some what shakily.
I would have growled at him if I had not been beaten to it by several voices behind me.
"She is our friend." Six voices spoke almost perfectly in time.
The principle turned me in the direction of the voices and I saw 5 students helping Warren to his feet, Layla, Will, Zach, Ethan and Magenta. All of them smiled at me and I felt my fangs melt away.
"Now I suppose I should explain this is our newest student Miss Garnet Mitchell she is a first for Sky high because." She stopped and looked down at me as if asking my permission to carry on.
I took a breath 'god I m going to OD on O2 at this rate'.
"I m a first for sky high because I not a superhero or a villain, I m half vampire."
If only I had a camera because the faces around us told me everything I needed. I was not staying at sky high.
"Are … you all… idiots …? Didn't you kind of … guess that from the fangs?" Warren said in between taking huge great mouthfuls of air. It actually did make me chuckle a little.
