Now Matthew I do plan on doing the major arcs that D can be there for, now on to the shadow ghouls and what you want I will consider it don't worry I will create a plan for him sooner or later but I do like the input you provide so don't stop alright? Now next chapter should be fun D will meet some new people but he will still be...himself around them it will take a common interest. You will notice that here in this chapter. Anyway thanks for the support and enjoy ^^ I should have the next chapter up soon.
"Come on D you don't want to be late for class, do you?" My dad said with a large smile.
"No I don't, but seriously do you have to walk me to school?" I grumbled trying to hide my face.
"Well… No but I need to. We have a meeting with Miss Bloodgood today." My father shrugged. "Now come on the faster we do this the faster we are done."
Biting my lip, I sighed knowing he was right. Sticking my hands in the pockets of my jacket I kept walking toward Monster High, as we walked through the gates I heard a few people either snicker at seeing me with my dad. Now I love my dad but the guy is a total dork, the guy was dressed in dark jeans, a black leather jacket, work boots and a t-shirt with the Universal Studio monsters on it, you know the old school black and white ones? Lowering my head, I kept my eyes on the ground.
"D, I am going to need you to lead the way son I don't know where her office is." My dad said looking at me.
"Right…Come on." Waving for my dad to follow me we both walked to the Headmistress's office, opening the door we both stepped inside.
"Ah D, and I assume this is your father Mister Jason Blood correct?" Bloodgood nodded.
Smiling my father nodded smoothing his black leather jacket. "Yes, Miss Bloodgood and I must say it's a pleasure to meet you."
"You as well, now I believe we have some things we need to discuss." My dad said with a serious look on his face, okay this is weird seeing him be serious.
"That is correct however we are waiting for-Ah here they come now." Miss Bloodgood said.
The door to her opened revealing the jock that tried to kill me the other day and an older looking werewolf woman who I am guessing is his mom, her ears were pierced and her hair was short brown hair with a small bit of highlights in it. she wore a black sweater with a green shirt underneath with a blue scarf around her neck, black tight pants and flats.
"Ah Mrs. Wolf good to see you. "Bloodgood nodded, motioning for the two werewolves to sit in a second set of chairs next to us.
"You as well Miss Bloodgood, and you must be- "Mrs. Wolf said turning to look at both me and my dad.
"Jason Blood, a pleasure Mrs. Wolf." My father said standing up and holding his hand out.
Smiling the werewolf woman took my father's hand and shook it. "You as well but please call me Harriet Mr. Blood."
"Only if you call me Jason." My dad grinned. "Now onto business."
"You're now I called you both yesterday to explain about what almost happened here between D and Clawd." Bloodgood said as my father and Mrs. Wolf sat down.
Nodding both adults frowned slightly. "Yes, I was very…angry with my son when I heard what had happened." Mrs. Wolf glared at her son who whimpered in his seat.
"I was very worried about D over here." My dad sighed looking over at me. "But I think we all need to discuss what will happen next, because I want some guarantee's that my son will be safe."
"Don't worry I have already have that covered, a teacher or myself will escort D while he is on campus to and from his classes." Blood said. "And they will remain in place until I say otherwise."
"Good, I also want to talk about proper punishment for Clawd." Mrs. Wolf looking over at me with a sad expression. "I am so sorry that this happened."
"Wait punishment? I thought me being grounded was enough?" Clawd said looking at his mother.
"No, it isn't young man, you almost hurt D." Mrs. Wolf said turning back to her son. "You could have killed him, what were you thinking?"
"I just…I thought he was trying to hurt Draculaura…" Clawd whimpered his ears going flat.
"Clawd…" I said finally speaking up. "I would never harm anyone…I can promise you that, yeah you wanted to protect her…but seriously you were going to murder me man."
Sighing Clawd buried his head into his hands. "I'm sorry D I just…I almost lost control…I didn't- "
"Mister Wolf while being sorry is all well and good you but you have to be responsible for your actions." My father said staring at the teenage werewolf. "I am sure your mother agrees on this."
"I do, Clawd you need to be punished not just at home but here at school." Mrs. Wolf said.
"They are right, now I think the most appropriate thing to do is say detention for two months straight?" Bloodgood said. "Or we can let D decided your punishment."
"I think that is a good idea." Mrs. Wolf nodded.
"As do I, well D what do you think his punishment should be?" My dad asked turning to face me.
Sighing I tapped my foot up and down. "Nothing…I just want to get out of here."
"Son are you sure?" My dad asked touching my shoulder. "He did try to hurt you."
"Yeah I am sure…. Look he is being punished at home, right? And he feels bad about it…. I say just let him go…because frankly putting him in detention won't do much." I kept tapping my foot and looked over at Clawd who had a confused look on his face.
"Are you one hundred percent on this?" Bloodgood asked leaning forward.
"No one would blame you for wanting Clawd to face punishment." Mrs. Wolf frowned.
"I'm sure…Can I go now?" I asked looking around.
Frowning all the adults looked at one another and nodded. "D, Clawd step outside for a moment." Bloodgood said.
Nodding we both stood up and walked out shutting the door behind us. I rested against the wall and closed my eyes.
"Hey um…. D?" Clawd said looking over at me. "I just want to say I'm- "
Opening my eyes, I stared at the werewolf. "Forget about it Clawd. Seriously, I get your sorry but don't worry about it okay? I rather just go on with my life."
"But dude like you said in there I could have- "
"Could have killed me? Yeah you could have." I said giving him a flat stare. "It wasn't the first time someone tried it."
"Oh…" His ears went flat again and he frowned. "Still D I shouldn't have acted like I did, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you or pay you back in some way…."
"I'll let you know." I said staring at him. "But for now, just drop it for all our sakes please?"
"Alright if you're sure…." He said looking at me.
"Boys you can come back in now."
Looking at each other we both nodded and walked into the office and sat down next to our respective parents.
"Now we all talked it over and have made come up with a solution for this problem." Bloodgood said. "And your parents both agree that this should work out."
"Clawd you will have serve a week worth of detentions starting today." Mrs. Wolf said staring at her son. "D seems to be more forgiving then we are."
"I understand and I accept it." Clawd said looking over at me.
"Good then you may go." Bloodgood said. "And D I will make sure one of our teachers escorts you to class in just a moment." Nodding I stepped into the hallway with my dad along with Clawd and his mom. Both our parents decided to stay behind a little and chat, while Clawd went off to class but he did say he would see me later. Not long after Clawd left Mrs. Wolf left giving a small wave toward my dad and a smile at me.
"So…This is your school huh? Pretty neat if you ask me, much better than my high school." He said looking around.
"Dad… You didn't go to high school you got your GED at 13." I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh right." He grinned rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway, D you doing alright?"
Sighing I nodded. "I wish people would stop asking me that…."
Frowning he touched my shoulder. "I know but I worry alright?"
Looking down I nodded. "I know dad, it's just it seems lately that is all I hear."
My dad bent down and looked at me. "I know but I love you kid, plus I wouldn't be doing my job as a parent if I didn't ask."
Biting my lip, I decided to change the subject. "So…what were you and Mrs. Wolf talking about just now?"
"Oh, you mean Harriet? She invited us over for dinner tonight, and I said yes." He grinned.
"Wait what?"
The rest of the day consisted of me being stared, laughed and mocked at by my fellow students. As they watched as teachers, or the headmistress escorted me to and from class I even had lunch in Miss Bloodgood's office, but that paled in comparison at the thought of having dinner with the werewolf family. I mean I had no problems with werewolves…. well sort of…But given the fact he tried to kill me? I think I am a little justified in feeling that way. It's just that…I don't socialize well with anyone other than my dad, I had friends back in New York, HAD being the operative word but even back then I was still horrible with socializing, but it got worse after this whole dhampir thing got out. Now I am being forced to talk, eat, and hang out with the guy that wanted to tear me a new one and his entire family? Yeah you could say that I was not looking forward to tonight.
"So, you nervous son?" My dad asked staring at me as he carried a bottle of wine in one hand and a store-bought pie in the other.
Rolling my eyes, I shook my head. "You have no idea."
Grinning slightly, he nudged me with his arm. "Come on relax we are just here to have a nice dinner."
Nodding I looked down. "I'll relax the moment we get back home."
Frowning my dad stopped us from walking and raised an eyebrow. "D, I promise you nothing will happen to you. Do you believe me?"
"I do dad but…" I started to say but stopped when he touched my shoulder, after tugging the wine bottle under his arm.
"Son you will be fine okay? You can make it through this." He smiled. "Come on I will be with you all the way through this."
I smiled slightly at his words then smirked. "Hey your acting like a real adult for a change… You feeling okay?"
Laughing my dad shook his head. "I think I may be under the weather but don't worry I'll go back to being your dorky dad soon enough."
"Thank goodness, I am not sure I can handle you being the adult." I said rolling my eyes.
Grinning he shook his head. "Oh, looks like we are here."
Looking up I saw a rather large house with an even bigger yard. "Wow…Big place."
"Mhm, welcome come on let's go." Walking up to the door my dad knocked and immediately the knock was followed by a large amount of barking and howling. Looking at my dad I raised an eyebrow. "You think they have dogs?"
"No I don't think so." He chuckled. "I think those are the youngest of the Wolf children."
"Hey quiet, it's just a knock." A rather annoyed female voice grumbled through the door. Slowly the door opened revealing Clawdeen.
"How can we- D? What are you doing here?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. "Better yet how did you find my house?"
"Well…You see…"
"Your mother invited us over for dinner Miss Wolf." My dad smiled at the teenager.
"Wait you're the guys that are coming over? Weird but okay come on in…And don't mind the rug rats, they just need to sniff yeah for whatever reason." Clawdeen said as she let us inside of the house. The moment we stepped in I was assaulted by a group of very small and fuzzy wolf children who were sniffing at me and my dad or they were trying to jump on us like a dog. I felt like I was being searched by a very hands on TSA agent.
"Uh…" Looking at Clawdeen for help the werewolf girl simply shrugged.
My dad on the other hand was just laughing at what was happening. "Cute kids."
"Alright you pups that's enough go on and shoo go do your homework." Mrs. Wolf said coming into the entry way of the house. "Sorry about the younger ones can be…excitable when it comes to meeting new people."
"That's fine." My dad shook his head. "They are cute, right D?"
"Um…Yeah sure what he said." I mumbled tapping my hand against my leg.
"So please come on in dinner is almost ready." Smiling Mrs. Wolf motioned for us to follow her to the kitchen.
"Oh, I brought a pie and some wine for you are your husband." My dad said passing the bottle over to her.
"This is lovely, thank you." Smiling Mr. Wolf took the bottle and placed the bottle on the counter and took the pie and placed it next to it. "Now why don't you go sit in the living room or D if you want Clawd is in his room if you want to visit."
"Umm... Thanks Mrs. Wolf I will consider it." I nodded my head.
"Yes, may I ask where is your husband?" My dad asked looking around.
"Oh, he is outside grilling, I hope you boys like steak."
Looking between each other my dad grinned and I smiled slightly. "We love steak."
"Hey mom is dinner almost- "Clawd walked into the kitchen and froze seeing my dad and me. "Oh, hey D and Mr. Blood."
Waving slightly, I looked up at my dad who was grinning like a mad man. "Hello Clawd, how are you doing?"
"I am alright Mr. Wolf." Clawd looked around nervously. "Hey um D you want to hang out with me in my room till dinner is ready?"
Looking at my dad he nudged me with his elbow, as if saying to go on. "Sure."
Nodding the two of us walked to his room, and I found that it was kind of like my room expect he had sport stuff around it instead of anime posters. Clawd motioned for me to sit in one of the chairs he had in his room while he sat on his bed. Shrugging I took a seat, biting my lip I tried to find something to say but I got nothing.
"So…. Um D how are you liking Monster High?" Clawd asked.
"It's alright I suppose… I'm still trying to get used to it." I frowned.
"That's understandable…So um do you have hobby's?" He asked with a nervous grin.
Raising an eyebrow, I nodded. "Yeah, I like playing video games, drawing, and watching anime."
"Wait you like anime? What's your favorite?" Clawd asked with a curious look.
The jock werewolf likes anime…That is weird but at least we have common ground. "Well…Don't laugh but I really like Hellsing."
"Dude me to!" He grinned. "Walter is awesome."
Grinning I nodded. "Yeah he is though it sucks that they made him a bad guy in the end."
"Trust me you're not the only one that thinks that." Clawd shook his head. "I thought it was stupid and his reasoning was stupid as well."
Nodding I smiled. "Yeah…So what's your favorite anime series?"
"Spice and Wolf though I also really like My Bride is a Mermaid." Clawd grinned. "The goofiness of it all…."
Laughing I nodded and soon our conversation went to different video games we enjoyed to different tv series that we both liked. Soon it was time for dinner which….was a nice affair I will say even if it was rather loud with all the wolf pups running around. I even met Clawd and Clawdeen's little sister Howleen who had short curly orange hair and dressed in a mix match of different styles. Not long after dinner Clawd and I went back to his room while the adults sat around drinking some wine…Well not my dad since he was going to be driving us back home but he did stay and talk with Clawd's parents, but as time wore on it was soon getting late, and saying our goodbyes my dad and I left.
As we sat in the car I looked out the window with a small smile on my face. Noticing it my dad grinned and shook his head. "It's been while since I've seen that look."
Frowning I turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"
"That smile, the smile of someone who had a good time." My dad grinned. "It's nice to see that again D."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes you do D, you had a good time tonight. Admit it." My dad laughed.
Looking out the window I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Maybe I did…"
"See was that so hard?"
"Yes very much so." I frowned turning to glare at him, but… I did have a good time of course and to be honest I think…maybe just maybe I could start to like living here…Even if Clawd tried to kill me when we first met, I think the guy could be a good friend…but only time will tell.
