Alright and here is the second chapter of The Halfa, now this chapter I warn will get into D's history and why he is at monster high so the chapter will be kind of dark nothing to bad but you will understand why D is the way he is with people. So be prepared for some angst crap but given what he went through he is allowed to be a bit angsty. But don't worry after this chapter it won't come again for a while...Oh and good news I can read reviews again. Yay not sure why but I won't question it. So please everyone enjoy.
"A dhampir what's that?" Frankie asked looking at Draculaura with a confused look.
"Yeah what's going on ghoul?" Clawdeen looked just as confused as Frankie.
Shaking in fear the pink little vampire hid behind her friends in fear of little hold me. "A dhampir….is a vampire killer…. they hunt and harm us vampires and they hate us for no reason."
"What!?" Frankie shouted her eyes going wide, turning to look at me the green girl looked a little hurt. "That isn't true is it D?"
"I say we don't give a him a chance to do anything." Clawdeen growled glaring at me, while the rest of the monsters in the creepateria had the same idea.
Sighing I looked down biting my lip. "I hopped…I hopped it wouldn't come to this…Just leave me alone." Looking around I ran and jumped over the crowd of students letting my cursed strength do all the work.
"After him!" Someone shouted and the lynch mob started to chase me.
As I ran through the halls of the school I headed toward the one place I knew that I would be safe in, the Headmistress's office. Unfortunately, my escape into the sanctuary was cut off by a group of students being led by a minotaur in a red shirt. "Get him!" He mooed.
Maybe I can take them? No….to many people and I don't know how to fight…. Sighing I turned around only to see another group of students this one being led by a male werewolf who looked like a jock. Rushing up to me the werewolf gripped my throat and slammed me into a locker. "I'm going to teach you a lesson for wanting to hurt my ghoulfriend!" He growled, raising his free hand I saw his claws extend out.
Gulping I closed my eyes. "Goodbye…Dad…Mom…"
"Stop!" Headmistress Bloodgood shouted over the crowd. Opening my eyes, I smiled slightly as the Headmistress on a dark horse jumped over the students and trotted right up to me. "Mister Wolf you will drop him right now."
"But Headmistress he is a dhampir he wants to kill Draculaura and the other vampires." The werewolf growled looking back at me.
"Mister Wolf I can assure you, all of you that our new student has no such plans. Now drop him or you will get a detention." The Headmistress glared down at the werewolf. Flattening his ears against his skull the werewolf dropped me but he kept his eyes on me. Looking down Headmistress Bloodgood frowned and held out her hand to me. "Are you alright D?"
Shaking my head I grabbed her hand and she helped me stand to my feet. "No…I'm pretty far from alright…"
Nodding Headmistress Bloodgood glared at all the students. "Now everyone hear this, the new student D is a dhampir, but that doesn't mean he is a vampire killer."
Looking around confused the students scratched their collective heads well expect for the few vampires in the crowd they were cowering in fear. "Then what is he?" Someone asked.
"A dhampir is a person who is only half vampire and half human. Vampires used to be afraid of dhampir's because they are rarely born and thus nasty rumors were started about them." Bloodgood explained.
Looking down I took a deep breath and bit my lip. "It's true…. the birth rate for a dhampir is one in every twenty thousand it's so rare for us to be born…because our parents aren't compatible."
"It's true back in the old days dhampirs only occurred rarely and when it did…. They were hated and feared." Bloodgood said touching my shoulder. "Now I am ashamed of all of you for treating one of your fellow students like this, you all should be ashamed. Now get back to lunch class will be starting soon." And like that the group of monsters left leaving me alone with Bloodgood. "They didn't hurt you too, badly did they?"
Shaking my head I shuddered. "If you hadn't shown up when you did…."
"It's alright D don't worry about them." She smiled sadly. "Come to my office and tell me everything."
Nodding we both walked…well she rode and I walked into her office and I sat down in the chair and she sat at her desk, and I explained how this all happened. As we talked Headmistress Bloodgood's face turned red with anger. "I can't believe this…." Pressing a button on her intercom Bloodgood growled. "Draculaura come to my office right away."
Sighing I sunk further into my chair as the pink little vampire nervously came into the office. "You wanted to see me Miss Bloodgood?"
"Yes, Draculaura please have a seat." She said motioning for her to sit next to me.
Looking over at me the pink vampire squeaked in fear and pressed herself against the wall. "Miss Bloodgood what is he doing here?" She whispered pointing at me.
Sighing I began to tap my foot.
"Sit down and let me explain why you're here." Bloodgood said not giving her a choice. Nodding Draculaura sat down in the seat but kept an eye on me…. god I hated that look…that look of absolute terror that people had when they found out what I was.
"Now Draculaura the reason why you are here is very simple." Bloodgood folded her hands together. "I want you to say you're sorry for the things you said against D."
"But Miss Bloodgood it's true he wants to- "
Frowning I stood to my feet and glared down at the girl. "I have never in my life wanted to hurt anyone!"
Flinching the pink vampire cowered in her seat.
"I just wanted to have a normal school year but ever since this student…. blood curse happened I have been in hell!" I growled. "I lost all my friends, my home, my city, my life!"
Oh great….it looks like the little vampire was going to start crying. Sighing I looked down fighting the urge to cry as well. "Draculaura do you have any idea what it is like to see the look of terror on your friends faces when they find out what you are? Or have their parents try to kill you and your father?"
"I…No…D…I'm so sorry…" She cried…Oh …great I made a girl cry…. Not cool….
Sighing I bent down and placed my hands on her shoulders. "Draculaura I promise you…I don't hate vampires…I have only known two my whole life my mother and the vampire who came to my house back in New York to explain what I am…"
Sniffling Draculaura nodded. "I'm sorry D…I just…I had no idea…it's just ever since I was little my father warned me about dhampirs saying were horrible creatures that would kill us vampires…"
"Draculaura I am afraid that your father was mistaken." Bloodgood said looking at us. "Dhampirs while extremely rare are not evil, in fact my late husband was one."
"Wait really?" I asked staring at her with wide eyes. "Is that how you know so much about my kind?"
"Yes, it is D he was very much like you in many ways." Coughing Bloodgood smiled. "Now you two, will you both be alright?"
We both nodded looking at the other.
"Good now why don't you both return to class, or D if you want you can go home for the rest of the day. I can understand if you didn't want to stay given the events of today." The headless woman said smiling sadly at me.
"No…I will stay…I…I should try to live a normal life." I said looking down.
"Of course, now go, I believe you both have Home ic right now." And like that we were shooed out of the office.
Standing in the hallway Draculaura and I both looked around. "Um…D…. I hate to ask …what happened to you…To make you come here? And what did you mean by blood curse?"
Sighing I rubbed my face and looked down. "Okay…but you have to promise not to say anything…to anyone."
"I swear." She said to me.
Gently tapping my hand against my side, I nodded. "Okay…you see…before all this…I was normal…you see? I looked like your everyday guy no fangs, no weird strength…But when I hit puberty that all changed…I got taller and paler, my hair darkened to black. I got stronger…. At first I thought I was like a superhero or something." Laughing I shook my head. "I was fine for a few years…. but right around my 16th birthday things changed. I felt…. less hungry for normal food…and finally one day when me and my friends were hanging out in the central park zoo…. Something happened…"
"What happened?" Draculaura asked completely in enthralled with my story.
"My best friend Jake he fell into the tiger pit…we were just goofing off…." Rubbing the back of my head I sat on the ground looking at my hands.
"Oh, no did he- "The vampire girl gasped.
"Almost the tiger clawed him pretty good before I got to him…. I was able to…Well fight the tiger…I never did anything like that before in my life…" Sighing I shook my head.
"Then what went wrong? You saved your friend I don't see- "
"The tiger wasn't the thing he was in danger from…It was me…You see after getting the tiger away I…" Biting my lip I leaned my head against the wall. "I started to drink his…"
Paling the little vampire girl touched my shoulder. "Don't say it please…"
Looking at her I nodded. "I…. I almost drained him dry and he just about died but luckily, he was saved in time…. but by then it was too late…My secret was out…My father explained it all to me that night and it was the same night I almost died you see…My friend's parents thought I was a monster or demon so they burned me and my dad's apartment…Hoping to kill me."
"Oh no…I am so sorry…" Draculaura said as she tried to hug me.
Shying away I shook my head. "It's fine we're alive but the damage was already done, I found out I was a dhampir and immediately after that I was contacted by a vampire who wanted me to attend here." Biting my lip, I closed my eyes.
Frowning the girl looked down and sat next to me. "I can't begin to imagine what that was like D…"
"It was rough I mean a house and things can be replaced but security…. a home…. that is harder to replace." Opening my eyes, I looked at the girl. "How did you know I was a dhampir…. I have to know because we are so rare…"
"My father…He knew about them. He told me stories about them…how they would hurt us in the old days and to protect me he told me what they would normally look like…." The pink vampire sighed looking at her hands. "I just thought they were stories but then I saw you…"
"I understand I think…if I saw the boogey man of my childhood in real life I think I would be afraid to."
"The Boogey Man? He is nice and he would never hurt anyone." Draculaura said with a raised eyebrow.
Blinking I stared at her with a raised eyebrow but shook my head I rather not think about it. "But you do get my meaning?"
"Oh yes." Smiling brightly, she nodded, the school bell rang meaning the last class was over.
Standing to my feet I held out my hand to the girl, taking it Draculaura nodded her thanks. "So…are we…good now? Are you no longer scared me?"
"Yes, we are fangtastic." Smiling she nodded her head.
Walking into our next class Draculaura went ahead of me just to make sure no one would try to and attack me. Stepping into the classroom Draculaura's friends ran forward and surrounded her and glared at me…Well expect Frankie she seemed like she was still on the fence about whether I was going to hurt their friend.
"Are you alright ghoul? Did he try anything?" Clawdeen asked looking over her friend, then she turned her gaze on me and glared.
Sighing I looked down and found a seat by myself in the back and buried my head in my bag.
"Ghouls relax D and Miss Bloodgood explained everything to me." She said looking over at me. "He is too sweet to hurt anyone."
"Wait for real?" Clawdeen asked. "You mean he…"
"The stories I heard about dhampir's aren't true…they are just scary stories." The vampire girl said.
"I knew it, D seemed too nice to be anything like you described." Frankie smiled. "Well…kind of he is distant…"
"He has a perfectly good reason to be."
"Really what is it?" The werewolf asked eyeing me.
"I can't tell I made a promise." Draculaura said with a steely look.
"Alright if you trust him then I will to, but I'm keeping an eye on him." Clawdeen frowned.
"Don't worry we can trust him." Frankie smiled. "I have a good feeling about D."
