Chapter 3
Ash was sneaking around at school. At lunch he would disappear to his room and in the evening he wouldn't even come out.
And Dawn noticed his strange behavior.
One time when Ash was sneaking to his room during lunch again, Dawn followed him to his room. The door was shut, but she put her ear against it.
"Here you go, Misty." Ash gave her an apple and a sandwich.
"Thanks! I was hungry, right Pikachu?"
Dawn gasped. Misty! The werewolf girl!
Without hesitation Dawn forced the door down and barged into the room. Misty and Ash both looked up shocked.
"Dawn!" Yelled Ash surprised.
Misty let the sandwich fall out of her hand. The sandwich fell apart on the floor. She jumped up and hid behind Ash his back.
"I knew it! You're hiding the werewolf-girl!" Dawn pointed at Misty.
"She has a name, you know." Sneered Ash.
"I need to tell Drake!" Dawn was ready to storm off, but Misty grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks. Dawn turned around, her eyes turned red immediately. "Get your stinking hands off me! You damn dirty dog!"
"Please, don't call him!" Yelled Misty. "I can't go back!"
"Yeah right." Dawn her eyes turned back to their blue color.
"Hey, what is going..." Gary stopped mid-sentence. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Misty in the room."...on...Misty!"
Ash sweat dropped. At least Gary knew her name...but could this get any worse?
And it did.
Paul and Brock also appeared in the doorway. They both raised their eyebrows in surprise when they saw Misty.
"What the hell Ash?" Said Paul. "Bringing a dog here."
Misty jumped behind Ash again. She looked over his shoulder at the other students.
"Guys, please, I need you to keep this a secret." Said Ash.
Paul smirked. "Right..." He mockingly laughed. "Like we are ever going to keep this a secret! You are not going to hide a wolf, Ash! That girl is trouble and nothing more! We need to notify Drake right now!"
"And then what?" Said Brock to him. "The boss of the werewolves will kill us all and lock Misty up again. So I don't think that that's a good idea for now."
"Then what?" Said Dawn.
The buzzer went off. Lunchtime was over. All the students needed to return back to class. The gang split up and decided to go to class.
"What a mess..." Muttered Misty as soon as Ash was gone with the others.
"Pika!" Pikachu sat down on her lap. "Pikachu-pi pikachu!"
"Am I Pikachu-pi?"
Pikachu nodded happily.
"And then Ash is...Pika-pi?"
"Pi!" Pikachu chirped.
"How cute!" Said Misty. She grabbed Pikachu and hugged him tightly. Pikachu chirped happily and hugged her back.
Suddenly they heard a loud bang on the door. It was Drake!
"Who's in there?!" Yelled the vampire. "ASH?! OPEN UP NOW!"
Misty panicked. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, damn it! He was surely going to alarm her father if he saw her! She had to escape!
The door handle writhed up and down. Misty opened up the window. She looked down. It was to not too high for her, but students and teachers were walking down there.
"Pika?"
Misty ignored Pikachu's worry. She stood on the window frame, grabbed the ledge above her and climbed onto the roof.
Just then Drake barged into the room. He looked at Pikachu. "Hm? I thought I heard someone..."
Misty tried to keep her balance on the roof panels. But it was slippery and her feet gave out.
Misty cursed herself for her dumb decision. She closed her eyes as her body fell down.
Then someone grabbed her hand.
"Misty!" Yelled Ash. He quickly teleported to the roof and grabbed her hand.
"Ash!"
Her hand slowly slipped out of his.
"Misty, hold on..." Groaned Ash. She would die if he let her go...he needed to do something!
Before her hand slipped out, Ash teleported them both outside of the school gate. They both tumbled down into the soft grass. Ash rubbed his head and grinned. "Ah, that hurt." He stood up and looked at Misty, who was standing up while breathing heavily. "You okay?"
Misty nodded. "Y-yeah...th-thank you."
Ash petted her on her head. "Don't do something so stupid again, dog."
"Don't call me dog." Misty swatted his hand away.
"Fine. Mist."
Misty raised her eyebrows. Mist? Why would he call her that? Normally people...or actually werewolves, called her Mystic. Or something like that.
"I call you Mist since it is easier to pronounce." Explained Ash.
"How is that easier?!"
"Anyway..." Ash looked at the school. "I'm bored. Wanna go to town?"
Misty sighed. "Don't you have classes?"
"So? See this as a payback for saving you."
"Bu..." Ash put his hand over her mouth. Misty groaned and tried to put his hand off. Ash teleported them right into the mall. People were not looking at them, only a small girl pointed at them.
Ash slowly got his hand off Misty. Misty immediately hit him on his head.
"Stupid! Idiot! Fucker! Weirdo!"
Misty stopped yelling when Ash grabbed her wrist.
"Will you calm down?" He said. "We can't draw attention to us!"
She calmed a bit down. She let her arms hang down her sides. "Fine. Let's just hang out then? Okay?" She stuck her hand out.
Ash grinned. He acted as he was going to shake her hand, but he took his hand back at the last second. "Psych!" He laughed and ran away. Misty growled and chased after him through the crowd.
"Get back here, vampire!"
"Try me, werewolf!"
Giovanni growled annoyed as he slammed his phone down on his desk. His wife, Athena, massaged his shoulder. "Darling, calm down."
"How can I be calm when our little girl is out there?"
"You know that she is not a little girl anymo-"
Giovanni slammed his fist on the desk. He stepped away from her. "I know! She is a freaking big wolf with powers beyond our capability! Who knows who she will kill! She never had a first kill yet!"
"Look..." Athena sat down on his desk. She threw her hair back and looked out of the window at the sun. "...we will find her. And when we do...we will protect her and make sure that she will be able to control her powers."
"You're right, darling...I love you." Giovanni pulled her in and kissed her passionate.
Just then the phone went off.
Giovanni pulled way , slightly annoyed, and grabbed the phone.
"Yes?"
"Boss, this is Cassidy. Butch and I spotted Mistyc in the city with a vampire."
"Vampire?" Giovanni asked. "What does he look like?"
"Brown eyes, dark hair. A student outfit. Nothing to special. He looks a little like Dracula though."
"Must be his son. Get back here, Cassidy. We are going to pay the academy a visit."
Without waiting for a answer he slammed the phone back on the desk. He calmly turned at Athena with a smile. "They've found her."
Misty and Ash were sitting on bench, eating ice cream. Ash pointed at something to distract Misty. When Misty looked away, he gave her ice cream a big lick. Misty blushed and her ice cream fell on her lap. Misty was ready to hit Ash when she noticed a big poster. It was a commercial for a new Pokemon water zoo. And it was in town! And open!
"Ash, a water zoo, come one!" Misty ignored the white stain on her dress and dragged Ash along with her.
They walked through a gate. They were in luck, it was free.
Inside there were all kinds of aquariums. Misty was looking her eyes out. She ran from aquarium to aquarium. Ash felt like he was looking after a child.
A child who never been outside.
He chuckled lightly. It was cute how she was looking at the world like everything was her first time. Even though she had read about everything, she still was amazed by a lot of things...
"Ash, hurry up!"
He walked after Misty who ran into the under water tunnel. (A tunnel where you can walk...Just like at sea world in scheveningen :) )
Ash was impressed too. He stared through the glass at a swimming Seadra. Misty looked at the little guy too. The Seadra shrieked when a giant Gyarados swam behind him. Misty shrieked too and hid behind Ash.
"Aahhh..."
"Hm?" Ash looked down at Misty. "Are you afraid of Gyarados?"
Misty was all shaken up. "Y-yes. I know that it's stupid...but I'm really scared..."
Ash grinned. He had an idea! He grabbed Misty and took her to another part, where there was one big aquarium.
At first Misty was confused. Then she saw people petting a Gyarados.
"Eek, what are they doing?" Yelled Misty.
The kids petting the Pokemon all looked at her strangely. "We're petting the Pokemon!" Said one guy. "Scaredy cat!"
"I'm not scared!" Yelled Misty with a blush.
"Then pet him!"
Misty shakily reached out with her hand to the gyarados. But when the Pokemon breathed loudly, she ran away screaming. Ash quickly chased after her.
"What a woos." Said one of the children.
Outside of the water zoo Misty ran through the crowd. Ash was chasing her. He couldn't keep up and lost Misty in the crowd.
Misty ran and ran with tears in her eyes. She ran into an alleyway and stopped.
Her heart was pounding. Why was she so afraid? Why couldn't she fight for herself?
"Hey, let go!"
Misty looked to her right to see a woman with brown hair being corned by two men. One of the men just grabbed her wrist. Misty knew that they were trouble for the poor girl. She might not know much, but she did know when people were attacking someone. Misty gathered all of her courage and walked to the two men.
"Excuse me."
The two men now looked at her. They raised their eyebrows and started to laugh.
"Hahaha, a girl standing up to us!"
"Scram kid!" Yelled the other.
Misty did her best to hold her anger back. She pulled the girl away by her arm from the guys.
"You two were harassing this poor woman. You two should scram." Said Misty.
The guys stopped laughing. Their expressions turned dark.
The woman thanked Misty and ran away. Misty sighed in relief. She was happy that the girl got away unhurt. Misty was about to leave when one of the man grabbed her wrist and slammed her into the wall.
"Sorry, sweetheart, but you scared our girl away!" Said one of the men.
Misty growled. "I saved her from you punks! Let me go!"
"No can do. We need to teach you a lesson, bitch!"
He kicked a wall right to her face. Misty covered her ears. She shrieked in fear. The man laughed and grabbed her by her hair. His breath stank and he was not pretty. Misty tried to wriggle free, but he just tugged harder on her hear, making her cringe.
But all of a sudden they heard a voice calling out.
"Hey!"
The man released Misty. She fell to the ground. She looked at her left.
Ash was standing there. He had an expression like never before.
"Ash..." Whispered Misty. "No..."
"Look who she send, her boyfriend!" The two guys grinned.
Ash ignored them. He was too angry that they had hurt Misty. Thank goodness a woman they hurt told him that Misty was here.
"He is not my boyfriend!" Said Misty.
One of the guys pulled her up by her arm. "Right...so he would mind if I do...this!"
He punched Misty down her stomach. Misty wanted to scream, but the air was kicked right out of her lungs. The man let her go. Misty slit down on the ground. She held her stomach in pain and was coughing.
Ash moved within one second to the guy. He grabbed him by his neck.
"Whoa, what the fuck!" Yelled the other guy.
Ash turned his head towards him. The man shrieked. Ash had red eyes and his fangs were showing.
The crackling of the men's bones send shivers down Misty's spine.
Ash snapped his neck like a twig. He threw the man's body on the ground and went for the other.
"Wait-"
Ash sunk his teeth into the man's neck. He dug his teeth so deep that he broke the neck. Ash grabbed the man's head and pulled it off his neck.
Blood gushed out of the head. Ash simply threw it away. Blood was all over his mouth and clothes.
He turned around to see that Misty was running away.
Ash hesitated no moment and teleported after her.
Misty ran as fast as she could. Ash...he killed those men in cold blood...it was like he had lost his mind. He...he...
She ran into the woods to a nearby river. She stopped and threw up in the river. The stream took her throw up further. She just stood up again , when Ash teleported a few feet away from her.
"Misty-"
"No, stay away!" Screamed Misty. She held her hands out as she was motioning for him to stay away.
Ash slowly walked towards her. "Mist, I was protecting you. I had no intend to hurt you."
"You killed those men."
"They hurt you."
"But you-"
"I know!" Yelled Ash. "But this is how the world is for vampires and werewolves! When someone hurts your friend, you let them pay. That is how the world works. Now you may not know that, since you were locked up in your room, but the world can be a cruel place!"
Misty looked down at his t-shirt. "Well..." She sighed. "We better clean you up, Ash."
They soaked his white t-shirt in the water, cleaning the blood off. Ash also washed his hair and face. After they hung his t-shirt up in a branch to dry and were staring at the sun set. They were both laying in the soft grass. Ash had just closed his eyes.
"Ash?"
"Hm?" Ash opened up one eye.
"Thanks for today. I really had fun."
"You did? Geez..."
Misty leaned on her elbow. "What?"
"You've been scared by a Gyarados, attacked by two men and scared to death...you call that fun?"
"Yes!" Misty giggled.
Ash rolled his eyes. He was not happy. Yes, he had fun with her up until he killed the two men...He didn't even know that he was capable of such a thing...
Misty rolled over to him. She pushed herself up with her hand and was now hovering over his face.
"You should smile more."
"Uh?"
"You have a really pretty smile." Said Misty with a serious look.
Ash grinned. He grabbed Misty by her waist and rolled her over so that he was on top.
"Ash!"
"What? I'm laughing now, right?"
Misty blushed and looked away. "Dumbass."
"Maybe I should bite you so that you can become a vampire."
"Yeah, no way!" Misty pushed Ash away. And before they knew it they were rolling over the grass, playing and fighting each other.
But Ash finally got the upper hand. He looked down at Misty. The last light of the day hit her perfectly, making her gorgeous. She was looking away with a red face. She seemed really embarrassed and was even trembling slightly. Was she scared? She couldn't be...he had to make a joke or something!
He was about to say something when Misty spoke up.
"Ash, get off."
"R-right...but first!"
Ash went down to her neck and kissed her down there. As Misty was even more red, Ash quickly jumped up and put his t-shirt on.
"What the hell..." Misty jumped up. She walked over to Ash. "...Was that?!"
"I said I would turn you into a vampire, didn't I?"
"With a kiss on my neck? Why don't you be a man and kiss me on my lips if you dare..t...o..." Misty stopped when she realized her sentence. She began flailing her arms up and down in panic. "That was not what I meant, you see..."
Ash buttoned up his t-shirt. It had dried rather quick. "I don't kiss slobbering dogs, Mist."
Misty stopped flailing with her hands. She froze in utter shock. "What?!"
"Like I said; I don't kiss dogs. That's gross."
"You're gross." Said Misty in response.
Ash sighed. He put his hand on her shoulder. "Great come back, dear. But we should get going, it's getting dark."
Without another word they teleported back to the Academy.
Unknowing what would await them there.
Drake was waiting by the gate for Giovanni. The werewolf had called him up and talked so quickly that Red just told him to come.
Now Red was waiting for him. Pikachu was sitting in the grass next to him.
They both got a little tense when they saw Giovanni and his two goons walking to them.
"Dracula! Where is my daughter!" Yelled Giovanni. He looked more angry than ever.
"I don't know." Said Drake.
"Funny." Giovanni showed him the pictures. "It looks like you should."
"Ash! Dammit, what was that fool thinking?" Cursed Drake.
Giovanni groaned. Vampires really were dumb creatures...
Just then Ash appeared by the gate with Misty. They were both shocked to see their parents looking angrily at them.
"ASHTON REGINALD KETCHUM!" Yelled Drake.
Ash cringed.
"MISTYC AYAWA WILLIAMS!" Yelled Giovanni.
Misty cringed as well.
Giovanni grabbed her by her arm away from Ash.
"Don't you touch her again, vampire."
"I have a name, you know." Muttered Ash.
Giovanni his eyes lit up. He let go of Misty and stepped closer to Ash. He looked down at the teenager. Ash was "Looks like this little guy got some attitude."
He noticed a little bloodstain on Ash his t-shirt. He also saw that Misty was a little bruised. Giovanni narrowed his eyes.
"Did you hurt her?!"
Ash raised his eyebrows. "No."
"Don't lie, brat!" He grabbed Ash by his collar.
"Dad, stop!" Misty pushed her father away from Ash. She spread her arms out in front of Ash as she was protecting him. "He didn't hurt me, some goons did. But Ash protected me! He saved me by killing the bad guys!"
Giovanni clenched his fists. He tried his best to keep his rage in. "Your son...Drake...did he kill people in front of Misty?!"
"So what if I did?" Yelled Ash. "I also took her to a zoo and gave her ice cream! I was showing her the world instead of locking her in! What kind of father does that?!"
"Are you looking for a fight?" Giovanni growled.
"Stop it." Now Drake finally spoke up. "Both of you. Ash, Misty is our enemy. And you are forbidden from seeing her again."
"And Misty too." Giovanni was about to grab Misty, but she hid behind Ash.
She realized her mistake too late. Giovanni grabbed Ash up by his neck. He threw the boy a few feet away. Misty gasped. But he quickly threw her over his shoulder. Misty struggled to get free, but to no avail. Giovanni and his goons calmly said goodbye to Drake and walked off.
Drake ran to his son. Ash was not wounded, but was coughing heavily.
"Ash, are you alright my son?"
"Aah...yeah, I'm okay." Said Ash with a hoarse voice. "He is really strong dad."
"Right. Well, don't try something like that ever again." Drake looked up at the night sky. "They are dangerous."
"Dad, let me out!"
Misty was locked up in her room again. But this time her window had was made out of metal, instead of glass.
And Misty had a special collar on that would zap her if she tried to get of the property.
Misty sat down on her bed. She hated this. She wanted to see Ash. He was her first friend and now she couldn't see him.
She looked up when her father entered her room.
"Mistyc." He looked down on her with a cold stare. Misty knew that she was in trouble. "Why do you disobey me? You used be such a good daughter."
"I just want out!" Said Misty.
Giovanni sighed. "Then why..."
"I want to go to Ash!"
Giovanni his face even hardened more. He should have known. Misty was getting interested in boys. Well, she would not be dirtied by some gross vampire!
"I see."
Without another word Giovanni quickly left and locked the heavy door behind him.
Misty sniffed and laid down on her bed. She buried her head in her pillows.
Meanwhile Giovanni walked over to his wife and other daughters.
"And?" Asked Athena.
"Misty is getting interested in boys." Said Giovanni.
Daisy smiled smugly. "Awwww...how cute!"
Giovanni petted her on the head. "Yes, Daisy. But we must act fast. We need her to fall in love with a werewolf."
"How about Rudy?" Asked Athena.
Giovanni turned to his wife. Rudy? Right, the boy was from a wealthy family. He was also good mannered and from a high status.
"I suppose. Let's get him!"
"Right!"
Everyone except Daisy were happy. Did they really thought that Misty would just fall in love like that? Misty might be a teenager, but her little sis was not dumb!
Daisy walked to Misty's room. She should just talk with her little sister. Daisy opened up the door to see Misty laying on her bed with her head in her pillow.
"Misty? Are you like okay?" Asked Daisy.
Misty looked up. She sat up on her knees. "No, not really. What dad is doing is so unfair!"
"I know, but he is just worried. And he wants to protect you."
"As if! I just want to see more of the world!"
Daisy petted her little sister on her head. "One day you will Misty. Then you will see everything!"
Misty shoved her away playfully. Daisy grabbed her little sister and started to tickle her.
"Dais, sto-op!"
Misty tried pushing Daisy away. Daisy laughed as Misty struggled. She loved teasing her sister.
But as the sisters were playing together a knock on the door was heard.
Daisy and Misty jumped up. They both quickly straightened their clothes.
Athena opened the door up. "Girls...Misty we want you to meet someone."
"Uh?"
They both walked after their mother to the big living room of the family. Other werewolves bowed down as they walked by.
"We'd like you to meet Rudy."
In the living room was their family and Rudy, a man from around Misty's age. He walked towards Misty and planted a kiss on her hand.
"My name is Rudy Dart the fifth. You may call me Rudy, beautiful."
"Right." Misty pulled her hand back.
Giovanni shot her a glare. "Misty! Show some manners!"
Misty shot him a glare back. Was she supposed to like Rudy or something?
"What is he here for?" Asked Misty.
Giovanni and Athena looked away awkwardly. Daisy, Lilly and Violet all were uncomfortable as well.
"Why I am here to become your partner." Said Rudy.
"Hm?" Misty didn't get it.
"In marriage."
Misty tensed up. She slowly turned around at her father. Her face showed so much anger that even shocked Athena a little.
"Dad...can we have a little...chat?!"
Everyone left the room except for Giovanni and Misty.
"How could you do this?!" Yelled Misty.
Giovanni remained calm under her outburst. "What?"
"Giving my hand in marriage to that...that...that buffoon!"
"Rudy Dart is from a wealthy family. He is also a werewolf." Said Giovanni. "He is a good boy and a real gentlemen. You are in good hands, Misty."
"Good hands?!"
"Yes." Giovanni put his hand on her shoulder. "And I expect you to show some gratitude."
Misty clenched her fists. "I'm not..."
Giovanni roughly put her chin up, so that he could look her right into her eyes.
"Mistyc, listen well. You are one of the strongest werewolves. We don't even know how strong you are. But we are family and know that you are not an evil beast. You have feelings, like everyone. Yet, you cannot fall in love with a vampire. Vampires are our enemies, you know what they can do."
"I'm not in love with that idiot..." Muttered Misty.
Giovanni let go of her. He smiled at her. The girl was still in denial with her own feelings.
"Anyway, I just wish the best for you and your sisters. You know that... right?!"
"Yes sir."
"Good girl. You are dismissed."
Misty stepped out of the living room. Her mother ran past her into the living room. She probably was worried about her father.
Misty walked past everyone down the hallway. Some people bowed, others were doing chores or talking with each other. A lot of them were also whispering about her. Cassidy and Butch both shot her a glare. Those two really did not like her...
"Wait, Misty!"
She turned around. Rudy ran up to her. What did that guy want?
"I was wondering if you wanted to see the stars with me tonight." Said Rudy.
"Right...look, Rudy."
"It was not a question. I insist that we watch the stars together."
Misty sighed. "Okay, okay..."
Rudy grabbed her hand. "Let us go up the balcony."
He took her to the big balcony. At home they had a giant balcony. Normally her father and mother would be staring at the stars together, but this time he had given Rudy the permission to take his daughter up the balcony. It would help their relationship, he told Rudy.
They finally got to the balcony. Misty quickly retracted her hand and looked up at the stars. She was wondering what Ash was doing right now.
"You are so beautiful, Misty." Said Rudy.
Misty blushed slightly. "Uh...thanks..." Rudy chuckled a little. Misty turned to face him. "What are you smiling about?!"
"Nothing."
"What? No come on, Rudy, tell me!"
"It's just...you don't meet many ladies who have such a strong character."
Misty her face became entirely red. She nervously looked away.
Rudy put his hand on her cheek. Misty had to admit, he didn't look bad. (He was just a tool)
He slowly moved closer. Misty quickly pushed him away.
"Sorry Rudy...I...I'm just not ready yet..." Said Misty.
"Oh..." He awkwardly moved away. "I...I understand...sorry."
"Oh, no! It's okay!"
"Right, well, I should go." Rudy walked back inside.
Misty stayed behind and looked up into the sky. Her hand went to her collar. There was no way that she would see the world ever again. She sighed and hung her head low. Her life sucked.
"Hey, you okay?"
Misty looked up. Her eyes widened. She could not believe who was standing next to her. His raven back hair, his brown sweet eyes...
"Ash-!" Misty quickly stopped talking.
"Missed me?" Asked the vampire laughing. "I-"
Misty covered his mouth. "Shut your mouth. If dad finds out...how did you even get here?!"
Ash calmly removed her hand from his mouth.
"Ah, don't be so scared. It's not like werewolves can smell me."
Misty sighed. That was exactly what they could do.
Ash petted her on her head. "It sucks huh?" He looked up at the sky. "That werewolves and vampires can't get along."
"Yeah. And that I'm getting married." Said Misty.
"You are getting married?!"
"Yup."
Ash clenched his fist. "That's idiotic! Why would they decide that?"
"My dad thinks that I like boys. And that with marrying one of our own, my future will be secure...or something like that..."
"And you don't like boys?"
"Hell no."
Ash suddenly stepped behind her. He closed in on her and whispered in her ear. "Are you sure that you don't like guys?"
Misty turned around. "As if..." They were really close. Misty her heartbeat quickened when he even moved closer. Ash tilted his head. He looked down at her lips. Misty stayed frozen as she didn't knew what to do. "Ash..." She whispered. She put her hands against his chest. He moved closer and closer. Misty shrieked and closed her eyes.
And Ash kissed her. This time not on her neck, but on her lips. He slowly opened up his mouth. Misty did the same and soon they were french-kissing. Her mind went blank. It was like the world didn't exist anymore. Like all her problems were washed away. But the kiss was quickly over. They both parted, breathing heavily.
"Wow..." Whispered Ash.
Misty looked away nervously. She didn't knew what to say.
"Misty...you..."
"MISTY! DINNER!"
They both cringed at the voice of Giovanni.
"Oh god, I should go!" Said Ash.
He quickly gave Misty, who was still in shock, a quick kiss on her forehead and teleported away.
Misty sat down at the dinner table. Her mother, father, Daisy, Lilly, Violet and Rudy were all sitting at the table.
Meat was prepared for them with vegetables and sauce.
After praying they all went to eat. Misty was not paying attention to anything. She was just sighing and playing with her food.
"Mistyc, is something the matter?" Asked Athene to her youngest daughter.
Misty didn't hear her. She just kept blushing and staring towards nothing.
"Misty!"
"Hm? Oh, mom...I did my homework already..."
Lilly waved with her hand in front of Misty's face. She got no reaction.
Giovanni raised his eyebrows at Rudy. "Do you know..."
"Sorry, sir, I have no idea. When I left she was...normal." Said Rudy.
Giovanni stood up. "Then she might be sick." He grabbed Misty by her hand and dragged her out of the dining room.
He took his daughter all the way to the infirmary.
A nurse there looked at Misty.
"And?" Asked Giovanni with worry. Even though he could be strict for his daughter, he cared about her. When she was little he would make sure that she would play with other kids as much as possible.
"I see nothing." Said the nurse. "Mistyc is just in love..."
As the nurse left Giovanni turned to his daughter. In love? Misty?
"Misty?"
"Yes, father?" Asked Misty.
"Are you in love...with Rudy?"
Misty giggled. "Rudy? Rudy?! No way!"
She stopped laughing when she saw how serious her father was.
"I...uh...of course I like Rudy and-"
"Oh, quit your lying." Said Giovanni. "Who is the boy you like? Is it someone from the pack?!"
Misty looked down and shook her head. Giovanni grabbed her by her shoulders.
"WHO IS IT THEN?!"
Misty looked away. She couldn't tell him...
"Boss!" Butch and Cassidy ran into the infirmary.
Giovanni turned around. "WHAT?!"
Butch shrieked and hid behind Cassidy. Cassidy rolled her eyes and gave Giovanni some pictures.
Giovanni turned red. He almost crumbled the photo's in his hands. Cassidy and Butch both made a quick bow and walked out. Giovanni turned back to Misty, who was looking down. He showed her the picture.
It was a photo of Ash kissing Misty. Taken from above.
Misty trembled. "D-dad...this is not what..."
"YOU KISSED A VAMPIRE?!"
"I didn't do it on purpose."
"WAS IT THAT ASH?!"
Misty nodded silently.
Giovanni hit a wall with his fist. "That damn vampire! I'm going to kill them!"
"Them?" Asked Misty.
"I will take down every vampire!"
"No!" Misty grabbed his arm. "You can't hurt them! They aren't all bad!"
Giovanni shook her off and stormed out of his office.
