"Let's see…If I carry the 2 and add 5…No, no that isn't right." Frowning I shook my head. "I need to hurry up otherwise I'll be late…"
"Hey D you better hurry along or you'll- "My dad started to say as he came into my room. "Um… D what are you doing?"
"Finishing some homework." I grumbled. "I didn't get to finish it since we were out kind of late last night."
"Oh…Well that isn't what I was talking about." My father shook his head and grinned. "It's about how you're doing it."
Raising an eyebrow, I looked over at my dad. "What do you mean? And why are you upside down?"
"D… I hate to break it to you kid but you're the one upside down." My dad said pointing up at me.
Looking around I frowned and that is when I realized I was sitting on the celling. "AH!" I yelled falling off the celling onto the floor. Snorting my dad rushed over to me to see if I was alright, waving him off I sighed and looked up at the celling.
"You seriously had no idea that you sitting on the celling?" He asked with a small grin.
Glaring at him I shook my head and stood up and gathered my things into my backpack. "No I didn't…I just…" Frowning I shook my head. "I am not even sure how I got up."
"Well…if you can climb walls you know what that means right?" He asked looking at me.
"No…What?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Grinning my dad waggled his eyebrows at me. "Spider D, Spider D does whatever a spider can- "
Letting out an annoyed groan I shook my head and headed downstairs as my dad continued to sing his version of the spider-man theme song. Getting down stairs and into the kitchen I grabbed a small bottle and grabbed a thermos and filled it with ice, taking the bottle I placed into the thermos and put into my backpack.
"So, I guess that answers the question about whether you wanted lunch money." My dad frowned slightly with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't have any yesterday so I need to have some today or otherwise…" I bit my lip.
"Right I understand." Placing a hand on my shoulder my dad grinned. "You better hurry and get to class."
Nodding I hugged my father and left the house my backpack in tow. As I rushed to school my mind raced with what had happened, I climbed the wall and was sticking to the celling like a spider…And I didn't even realize that I was doing it. That was the scary thing my powers…such as they are were developing and I didn't even notice…What about my vampire side…would that to grow and become stronger as time went on…Would my inner vampire take over one day? Sighing I shook my head. "I really should just stop thinking about this crap…Maybe Miss Bloodgood could help me, her husband was a dhampir like me."
"Hey D!"
Looking around I spotted Frankie running up to me with a smile. "Hello Frankie."
"How are you doing today?" The green skinned girl asked still smiling…. dear lord why is she so happy? It's weird.
"Fine I guess, and you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm spooktacular, so you ready for class today?" She asked as we both walked into the school.
"Just about I suppose." Shrugging I tried to get away but dang it she tends to stick to people, doesn't she?
"That's good, so I was texting Clawdeen the other night and she told you had dinner over at her house, and you and Clawd hit it off." She said turning her head. "I think it's wonderful your making friends."
Raising an eyebrow, I stopped and stared at her. "Who said I made friends?"
Stopping Frankie turned her head and looked at me. "I thought that-From what she told me you two- "
"Frankie, I will admit Clawd and I got along but that doesn't mean we're friends." I said sighing. "We had a good conversation but that's about it nothing more."
"Oh, D I'- "
"Please don't thanks for your concern but I am fine." Shaking my head, I walked away leaving the poor girl in the hallway confused and a little hurt. Sighing I shook my head. "Why can't people just leave me alone?"
"Maybe because they want to be your friend."
Turning toward the voice I sighed as I looked at the form of Miss Bloodgood. "I don't need friends."
"No man is an island D you can't stand alone." She frowned. "I will escort you to your first class."
Nodding I wordlessly followed the headless woman as she led me to my first class of the day, which in a word was boring. I purposely ignored the stares Frankie was giving me while class went on, I tried to focus on the class but it was kind of hard. Class finally ended and while the other students left I had to wait for one of the faculty to escort me. The drama teacher… the invisible man…Weird but alright I guess a normal guy who can turn invisible can be a monster…whatever. He walked me to my next class and again it went like the one before it, it was boring and Frankie kept staring at me with this look like a sad puppy.
Class ended and finally it was time for lunch, maybe now I could find a place to go and hide and have my lunch, getting out of class I dodged my teacher escort and tried to find a nice quiet place to settle down. Finding an empty hallway, I looked around to make sure I was alone and smiled slightly. "Finally." Reaching into my backpack I pulled out the thermos and unscrewed the top pulling out the bottle I had kept chilled. Putting the lid back on the thermos I placed it back in my backpack, staring down at the bottle I fought back my disgust and just allowed that other half to take control, slowly I pulled the cork from the bottle and just as the liquid was about to touch my lips I was interrupted.
"Hey D I got a bone to pick with you!"
The voice shocked me making me drop the bottle. Watching in horror the bottle fell onto the ground and shattered into a million pieces, the contents spilled upon the ground. "No... No…No!"
"I'm talking to you." The voice I saw belonged to Clawdeen who stormed up to me with a furious look on her face, behind her was Frankie, Draculaura, a fish girl with blonde hair and a…human? Dressed in gold bandages and she had a look of superiority on her face. Shaking my head, I went back to looking at the spilled liquid.
"Clawdeen it isn't that big of a deal…" Frankie started to say.
"Come on it isn't…" Draculaura tried to defend me.
"But it is just because he is whatever you said he was again doesn't give him the right to act like he is better than us." The girl in the gold said.
"Coming from you Cleo that's rich, but she is right ghouls he should apologize." The fish girl nodded with a frown on her face.
"That's right now D I want you to say you're sorry to Frankie for what you said this morni- "Clawdeen growled but stopped when she noticed I wasn't paying attention. "Hey I'm talking to you!" Reaching out the werewolf girl grabbed my shoulder forcing me to look at her…but the moment she did she gasped loudly. "Oh, ghoul what's wrong with your eyes!?"
Frowning I shook my head and closed my eyes. "Nothing…just leave me…alone." I grumbled out.
All the other monster girls looked at one another not sure what to say or do in this situation expect Draculaura who bent down and touched my shoulder. "D, open your eyes please?"
Sighing I opened them letting her see that my eyes were no longer the same green that my dad had…they were no a vibrant red/orange color. Gasping the vampire girl covered her mouth. "Oh, no D, why didn't you tell us you were part nosferatu?"
"Huh? I thought he was a dhampir…what's a nosferatu?" Frankie asked looking confused.
"Yeah explain ghoul." Clawdeen asked while the other two looked just as curious.
"Well this will be hard to explain but you know how there is like different were species like cats, wolves, dogs, and other things right?" Draculaura said looking among her friends.
"Of course, but what does- "The fish girl started to say but my growling stopped her.
"Different species among vampires…nosferatu is…different then…Draculaura…type." I hissed out.
"He's right, you see ghouls nosferatu are the oldest types of vampires they were the strongest and had the most powers but…. They also had to drink- "She paled and shook her head. "That one thing more than me and my kind."
"So, wait you mean to tell me that thing D dropped was- "Frankie said connecting the pieces.
"That's right and without it D could get very sick…" The pink vampire frowned looking down at me. "Or he could turn on the students…"
"Well…Crap…Wait doesn't the school have the synthetic stuff for the other students?" Clawdeen asked looking around.
"I think it does, so we just get him some of that and he should be as good as new, right?" The fish girl said with a smile.
Shaking her head Draculaura frowned. "It won't work…"
"It's true…tried it before…I ended up puking it out." I struggled to stand to my feet. "Need to get home- "
"No, you can't you need a fresh source…Now" Draculaura said looking absolutely sick…weird.
"Then one of us has to let me…Drink from us?" The gold girl looked very pale. "But who?"
"I'll do it." Clawdeen said looking at me. "It's my fault he dropped it…Draculaura don't look" Brushing her hair away the werewolf girl titled her head to the side. I looked over at the pink vampire with a questioning gaze but she mouthed 'tell you later'.
Frowning I walked over to Clawdeen and took her hand. "Are you crazy? I could kill you if I bit you on the neck."
"Oh…then how…" She started to say.
"Just let me use a finger." I said my eyes still the strange color they were. Holding up her hand I slowly opened my mouth revealing a pair of sharp fangs. Slowly I extended my tongue and licked the tip of her.
"Why did you lick my finger?" She asked looking at me with a freaked-out expression.
"My saliva can numb your finger so you don't feel anything…" I grumbled while all the other girls minus Draculaura watched. "Excuse me? Do you mind?" I glared.
"Right!" Turning around they all looked at the celling ignoring me and Clawdeen.
"Is your finger numb yet?" I asked looking at her.
"Umm...Yeah so how are you going to-Oh that is how." She said watching me prick her finger with one my fangs. Slowly taking her finger into my mouth I sucked on her blood with a small flush in my cheeks…It's my first time feeding on someone, so sue me. As I drank I did my best to block out the small moan that escaped Clawdeen's lips. Slowly I pulled my mouth away and licked Clawdeen's finger. "There…that should do it your finger should heal over in a moment." Smacking my lips, I would never admit this out loud but Clawdeen had tasty blood an almost smoky outdoor type…. Did I really just think that?
"Thanks um D…you doing alright?" She asked.
Nodding I smiled slightly. "Yeah…Thank you…Okay you all can turn around now."
Turning around the other girls looked at me and smiled. "Your eyes they are back to normal." Frankie smiled at me.
After that quickly cleaned up the spilt blood and glass on the floor, the other monster girls wanted me to say sorry to Frankie for what I said to her this morning and I did but not without it being forced from me, Frankie told them it didn't matter and Draculaura defended me to but the other three wouldn't budge on the matter. They also wanted to know why I had such an attitude or why I always tried to be on my own, but I shut them down on that and left.
School didn't end any quicker then I wanted it to but the moment it did I rushed home not really wanting to deal with the people at the school or anyone for that matter. I just wanted to get home and chill. Stepping through the door I slammed it shut with a growl of frustration.
"D? That you? I got to talk with you son." My dad called out from the kitchen.
"Not now dad I am in a bad moo- "
"D it's important." He said using his 'dad' voice.
Rolling my eyes, I walked into the kitchen and placed my backpack on the ground. "What is it dad?"
My dad sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Okay what's the matter son?"
"I'll tell you later, but what did you need?" I asked looking at him.
"Fine but…I got a call from my editor today…" He said with a small frown.
"Selene called? Cool what she want?" I asked still not getting what he wanted.
"Well…. She wants me to tour for my new book…like now."
To say I was shocked was an understatement. "But isn't it in your contract to only tour during my vacation time?"
"It is but for some reason they want me to do it now saying it could really help." He said biting his lip.
"So? What when we do leave? Because dad I have to tell you- "
"That's the thing son you're staying here." He said with a frown. "I am not pulling you out of school."
"But why not? And if your leaving you can't just let me stay here on my own." I said.
"I know that is why I called your Aunt Helen to come down, she will watch you while I'm away." He said.
"Aunty Helen!?" I shouted my eyes going wide. "You can't be serious…" Sighing I shook my head, this day has gone from bad….to worse.
