I am not your average human I am not all human either I am a half vampire I am half fairy I am what I am and I am ridiculed for it. You see I am not suppose to exist but I do and my parents were killed for it but I have learned to deal with it I just transferred on scholarship to a small vampire/human school the vampires that do go there are pure blood in majority. Tomorrow is my first day and I know it is going to suck. I put on the school uniform and a hat they’re allowed in the student code of conduct it really wasn’t a uniform actually it wasn’t a uniform there were things that you couldn’t wear and that is about it so I put on a black turtle neck and a pair of low cut jeans and pulled my long deep red hair with it’s bleach blonde highlights up into the hat and hopped into my rusty red ford and headed to the school you see this is a pretty small town and a few humans go here and I am going to try and blend in here and not get noticed as much as possible I mean well it is small but it has large buildings it is a Victorian or twentieth century Goth in architecture town so the buildings are about three stories in general and some are even taller. Well I pulled into the parking lot and found a parking spot next to a nice slick black Volvo. I walked to the doors it was raining I like the rain but I hate the snow and I love the sun for no apparent reason. I saw students that were the most exquisitely beautiful people I had ever seen, you see I had never really seen a pure blood vampire other than the picture of my father.
When I walked through the doors I found a small room labeled office I walked in and there was this small lady she couldn’t have been over the age of twenty five she was pretty. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes she was fairly skinny couldn’t be over one hundred and ten pounds she looked at me funny from under her mountain of paper work she seemed to be rustling through it for something now and then she pulled out four papers.
“You must be Miss Montemorency?”
She asked as if it was a question I just nodded she smiled at me and handed me the papers and began to explain each one was a map the other was my schedule the other were parent release forms which I would have to forge my parents never show at parent teacher nights and I have never had a teacher call my parents because I am a good student I never do anything too bad to get myself into any real trouble.
“Thank you”
That was all I could seem to manage she just smiled at me and then I made my way out of the office I realized the majority of vampires here weren’t actually pure blood vampires which means they are all following one vampire family and that is probably a good thing. With fewer pure bloods they aren’t likely to figure me out or so I suspect in general I keep my secret pretty well.
Schedule:
English Pre-Ap class 213
Social Studies Pre-Ap Class 130
Math 134
Free Period
Lunch
Poetry 214
Dance Gym
My schedule is like so average but average is good compared to my life. I walked into my class as inconspicuously as possible handed my schedule to the teacher and she pointed to a seat in the middle of the classroom I took my seat and then a girl came over to my desk. She was really friendly at first but then just walked abruptly away as this gorgeous guy walked in he was so beautiful in a guy kinda way it is strange to say a guy is pretty I mean a guy well anyway. I think he must be the pure blood since everyone got quiet the second he stepped into the classroom. He looked over in my direction and then abruptly turned away from me as if he saw something that disgusted him. I just kept my eyes toward the board he sat in the chair next to mine and it really sucked I kept wanting to look over and then class ended and he left first gracefully and then everyone else followed the rest of the day was about the same way people rarely talked to me the ones that did were the human in the school and that was a minority of the school population which really sucked. At lunch I sat at a table as far away from him as possible and it was filled with humans and it was enjoyable cause everyone talked to me introduced themselves and then I heard one of the girls talking.
“Drako really didn’t seem to like her in First period but what is his problem anyway everyone around him like follows him and Emmett, Jerel, Olivia, and Rose.”
“Well they are all just one huge family and they all seem to follow the same code it is all really kinda cool if you ask me I think we should stay as far away from the new girl as possible maybe she is infected with something.”
“Yea like geekidus”
The both just laughed and then looked in my direction I averted my eyes and paid attention to Michael I think that was his name I couldn’t remember all there names if I had wanted to. I noticed the table wasn’t completely human it was other creatures to I think I couldn’t quite tell there was something very strange about this school. Other than the fact that it is filled with Mythical creatures counting myself this seems like one never ending Nightmare and it is really beginning to get annoying. I got up threw away my untouched tray and went out the double doors I had Poetry next so far thank god I only had that guy named Drako in one period I don’t think I could take his hate filled stare any longer. Sure enough he was in my favorite class which is now my least favorite class since he is in it. The teacher asked me to read allowed a poem I found one in my binder I wrote earlier.
I’m standing on the edge pf a shore
Sleeping in my prison
Feeling the water crash against my skin
The beat of ten goes on in my head
I’m killing the thought I am stopping the madness
Calling all Demons don’t lock me away
I said my poem slowly and in a low voice and very well annunciated. The teacher looked at me for a moment she gave me a weird stare and then motioned for me to sit back down and so I did. Then she sat at her desk for a dew minutes after looking at Drako for a what seemed like a little eternity, she rose from her chair and slowly walked toward my desk carrying a slip of paper I knew what it was by the color and size it was a pass to the counselors I just shrugged my shoulders and grabbed my bag and my notebook and left the room I went to the counselors office I had to wait so while I was waiting I began to write a new poem.
I stand as an outsider awaiting my punishment
This may make absolutely no sense to you
Everything seems so screwed up and everyone follows one person
Why so much conformity?
Or am I just an outsider looking in on a perfect world?
I wonder what it is like on the inside
I wonder if it is all lies?
What is wrong with anyone who will criticize?
I close my eyes and return to where I was before
I open them again
And still I am an outsider looking in.
I went in to the counselor she began sprouting this nonsense about I don’t really know what I was looking outside past her to a tree outside the school I would be moving into the dorms here like everyone else who went here and that would be where I spent all of my time if I am to stay if Drako doesn’t completely push me away. I now wonder what I have done to him to make him so mad I know he probably knows my secret but that can’t be his only problem because if that was it he would have just done what every other vampire does make fun of me or ignore me or torture me in some public way not like this kind of public way though. When she was done talking I said I understood and then the day was over and I am moving into the dorms this evening I have a room to myself thankfully which means no hateful roommate and no sharing things or invasions of privacy and I don’t have to hide my marks or anything else from her. My room was a little small but it wasn’t too small my only complaint was that it was the room right in front of the boys dorms the last room in the girls section which sucks. I moved all of my stuff in which wasn’t a whole lot of things. I snuck out about five thirty am and went out to the tree I saw from the counselors I sat down the sun was just beginning to rise the picture would be gorgeous so I began to sketch it carefully I sat in the top branch of the tree quietly barely even breathing. I didn’t notice that someone was beneath me it was him Drako he was laying beneath me on the ground watching the sun rise if he caught me I would probably get in more trouble not that I really care. I just let it go and sat taking in the sunrise he was breath taking from where he sat I have to admit I knew he would be it was like a diamond in the sun. He got up and then he turned my way and looked up and then walked away did I see what I think I just saw but I couldn’t have scene what I think I just saw it is impossible. I got dressed and went to class as usual well pare usual. I had my headphones on and ignored everything and everyone because I was lost in thought I just said here when the teacher said my name in my quiet voice the only voice this school knows when she asked me where we are I told her and I don’t know how I knew where we were because I wasn’t paying attention it must have been my subconscious working again sometimes that is what it is. When the bell rang I grabbed my bag and decided to skip second I went to my room and I began writing this song on my guitar and piano in my room that is why my room is so small well not small but not small at the same time if you know what I mean. When I went to third period I had to tell my third period teacher I had gotten a bad headache which was the case to actually be precise I have these really bad headaches and they don’t go away for days I used to have to stay in the hospital for them but not now I am fine for the time being as long as I keep up with the medication I was given. On my way out of third period this guy tried to shove me into a locker literally and he succeeded but I got out no problem I had no problem getting out I got used to this happening at school after school. I went to Lunch and Michael and the others saved me a seat and they were all happy to see that I showed for lunch this girl came over to our table and started to say something this was really getting annoying. I got my coke as usual then another girl came over I just through my coke away and told them I’d see them all later.
The next couple days went the same except Friday when I had my limit at lunch a friend was visiting from my old school or was supposed to be coming in to see me during lunch.
This girl came over to the table again,
“Hey it’s the quiet girl the girl who does nothing”
“The girl who always wears a hoody” My friend come in as this was starting
“The girl who lets people stuff her into lockers”
I just nodded my head which seemed to make her madder because she couldn’t get the time of day from me so when I stood up and threw my coke away she pushed me against the wall and lifted me up by my throat.
“How do you like the feel of a Vampires hand around your neck not only a vampires but one of Dracula’s daughters”
“If you must know it feels pretty tight” I said
“Smart ass don’t play with me let’s see what is underneath this hoody”
Adrian got up and raised his hand for her to stop and for some reason she let go I wonder what it is about Adrian that makes him so well like so weird about him what also makes him so irresistible he barely talks to me though he glared at me like I could have defended myself she dropped me I landed perfectly on my feet I don’t know whether it was her choking me that made me light headed or the fact that I haven’t been eating. I walked out as quick as I could I can imagine what they are saying about me I decided today was the day for a drive I got to my car turned the key in the ignition and blasted the stereo playing Soak Up the Sun by Sheryl Crow everyone was in the parking lot by the time I was pulling out I had my hood down to reveal my blonde hair with the red tint and my green/blue eyes then I heard my cell ring.
“Hello” I said
“Yeah this is her oh what is up chika me nottin just tryin to chill not having much luck at this school either though so whatever though”
“Well I think um yeah I can make it” I said
“Later” I said
I just drove around for like five hours and then came back a little past eight since it is a school night and I do have homework. When I got to my door there was a field trip notice we were going to go to Drako’s mansion oh sounds like fun. I thought sarcastically when I got inside Drako was waiting inside for me by the window strangely.
“Uh can I help you?” I asked
“Yeah you can be more careful or next time Ami might take your head off and why don’t you ever do anything”
“That’s none of your business and why would you want to help me”
“I don’t know I just thought it might make things around here more interesting” he said and then in a flash with such grace he was out the door and long gone.
The next morning I got ready as usual for some reason I just new the day was gonna be bad I just felt it I woke up wrong or something. I walked down to the cafeteria for breakfast for the first time in a couple weeks I am really, really, really skinny I have to admit you can see my bones if I would take off my hoody and wear a normal t-shirt.
We went to Drako’s house we were told his parents would be down anytime now they were just finishing up some business when they came down the stairs his parents I was breathless his mother was so beautiful and his father didn’t look any older than him but that is the curse of a vampire is it not then the lady behind them I saw her her hair was strawberry blonde she was beautiful breathtaking I had scene her so many times before her skin the same shade of Ivory as mine maybe not as clear white but still then her figure she was skinny but not too skinny a size four.
“Hello everyone this is Miss Montemorency she was here to do some business but we are through here” Drako’s mother told us then the teacher had to ask the question.
“Miss Lily is that your Mother”
“I’m sorry I have a daughter but that is not my daughter my daughter is no half breed reject”
“See just the same last name” I said my eyes in an icy blue state under my hoody
My mother disowned me because of what I am it hurts to hear it every time she says it because before my father died she would have never thought of it. Then I saw him Michael he would ruin for her he is not my brother but more like friend it all I saw the look on Mom’s face. Michael looked at me for a second then he just took my moms hand and walked her to the door I was thankful he said nothing I wasn’t surprised.
“So we have a half blood in the house” Drako’s mother said as if testing a word she loved to use but hadn’t had the chance in a long time
“Not anymore” I said I followed Michael and mom’s car by foot the Manor wasn’t too far off I knew where I was going I played near here as a kid I got lost once and a boy saved me so long ago I think I was twelve right after my father died. When I got to the Manor it is my Manor I knew Michael would be waiting for me it is the only place I have left my mother won’t step foot in it unless she has to my father left it to me. He was out leaning against his car. In the moonlight he looked stunning he too is a full blood vampire he has long black hair and green eyes that scare me to death but they make me want to hope when he gives me this particular look. He is masculine but feminine at the same time he wore a brown long sleeved T with a weird design in light blue and a pair of jeans his hair was down and blowing in the wind it went down to his stomach. He is at least 6’4 and he weighs maybe 165. I got out my car and met him at his car.
“Wat up?” I asked
“Do you always insist on wearing that hoody” he asked that is always one of his first answer
“Yes” I said
“Well I thought I should inform you I will be attending your school from now on”
“Really well this should prove to be interesting shouldn’t it” I said he smiled his perfect smile both him and Drako are one year older than me
“Yea” he replied
“Well we’ll talk more tomorrow I don’t want to get you into too much trouble” he said
“Alright later” I said as I got into my car
“We gotta get you a new car” he said
“Yea next week I’m gonna go get a GT” I said
“That’s sound tight well see you” he said
I went back to my room that night I slid my headphones into my ears blasting Evanescence and Linkin Park. Trying to erase everything that had happened that afternoon my head hurt god my life sucks.
The next day I saw him Michael talking to Adrian and Drako they are all friends I remember seeing them talk at least twice before when I was younger we all lived near each other but well I didn’t but they all lived near each other and I used to get to come play with Victoria Michael’s Younger sister until she was killed. At lunch girls were all over him I sat alone at lunch now because I am the weird the trouble making girl Michael took a liking to Ami because she was pretty just like the rest of the guys I was fed up with it. I called a friend I called Lanek I was going to get a make over and people were going to stop treating me like trash.
“Hey Lanek I need a favor come pick me up I’m in the Cafeteria” I said
I was listening to Liar, Liar when Ami came up to me today she took my coke opened it and poured it on my head.
“Oh look you’re all wet” she said “That won’t come out easy it so much fun to torture her because she never does anything”
I stood up.
“Oh look I think I made her cry maybe she does have real feelings and isn’t an android”
She punched me in the stomach causing me to cough up blood. I just backed down because I know if I did anything I would regret it later because once I start something I finish it. My cell rang.
“Cough, cough Yo” I said “I;m on my way out Lanek see you” I said
I left the cafeteria and went out to Lanek’s car Michael looked amazed at Ami that she was so brave and strong so bold not even realizing her cruelty. When we got to the mall we began shopping for my new image we got my hair cut and all my clothes tapered to my exact size so that they looked really good and when I looked into the mirror for the first time in a long time I saw myself the rebel me the me that used to beat people up for hurting other people and who stuck up for herself I put my hood up as we entered school campus I wasn’t showing anyone what I looked like till Monday three days from now.
Ami, Michael, Drako and Adrian were all in the parking lot when we got back. Lanek had Soul Survivor by Akon blasting from the stereo in her car and I was rapping not expecting anyone to be there so late it being ten thirty.
“Yo Nek see you tomorrow same time I’ll meet you at the club Chika make sure the whole crew is there cause it won’t be the same otherwise and that is when we both saw them staring all of them gorgeous in the moonlight because they are full like Lanek waiting in the parking lot was another surprise for me sitting in a GT. Sitting in a sleek black GT were two boys hot boys One had black hair with green highlight he was masculine he wore a black t and a pair of jeans. The opther had Blonde hair with black highlights and Greenish grey eyes full vampire very hot his hair was long too like Michael’s he wore a pair of black gothic Trip pants and a black t-shirt that said “You laugh because I am different I laugh because you’re all the same.” They got out and came over to our car.
“Happy birthday Miss Tear” The second one said his name is Kai I got out and he grabbed me into his arms and hugged me tight. Then Genji the other one lifted me into the air.
“Man you are too light girl you don’t eat enough”
“Blah, Blah, blah, blah, blah” I said
“Well I’ll see you all around” I said “Thanks for the car” I said
“You are welcome”
I got up to my room and went too the book case I have been working on this song for months and I think I finished it finally I got my Guitar and began to play.
“
I know how this all must look
Like a picture ripped from a story book
You think You have me
All figured out
But you know nothing at all
My life is lame it may seem better than appears
Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today
Or do you really want to know
I'm Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
Surrounded by the ocean
Never knowing when it's over
That's how I feel
I know I signed up for this game
And everybody knows my name
My happiness fell off the track
And I'd do anything to get it back
Give this, I'd give it all all away
Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today
Is that a place you wanna go
I'm Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
Surrounded by the ocean
Never knowing when it's over
Then you see me
The girl you know is so far-gone
And I'm in hiding
Living life undercover
I'm not long for this world
I'm Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
Surrounded by the ocean
Never knowing when it's over
That's how I feel
Then you see me
Say you don't even know me”
That was the exact effect and sound I wanted it to have it may have taken awhile but I did it. As I thought about everything that had happened this week my life is really bleak and I am actually more optimistic then I appear although I am quite narcissistic. I couldn’t seem to sleep I really wouldn’t call those people my friends that got me the car they feel obligated to help me because it is all they know but as soon as they have the chance they will drop me like everyone else has.
We don’t have classes tomorrow thank God it is Saturday I thought I would go to the mansion since it is only two in the am I think I will leave now no one to see me leave. So I climbed into my new car and went to the Manor or Mansion which ever you prefer I personally prefer Manor but whatever.
I went up to my old room and memory after old memory returned to me of the times I was happy when my mother acknowledged me as her daughter and my father was alive, I sat there and sobbed in the window sill of my parents. I got up a little later feeling better and blasted my stereo with Ignition Remix) by R. Kelly and It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy. I heard the door open I ran down the stairs all I had on was a hoody midriff so you could see my stomach I wasn’t expecting company and a pair of trip pants. I was dancing in the kitchen when they came in all three of them Michael, Adrian, Drako. I straightened up trying so hard not to laugh.
“Nice hoody” they all commented at the same time
“Thanks I thought so too when I bought it now can I help you”
“Well you could just drop your clothes and flock to me like other girls” Adrian said
“That is so sick man” I said
“Have you heard what you are listening to and have you scene your body” he said checking out my stomach
“How much do you weigh?” Drako asked
“You know girls usually won’t even tell there Mothers there weight what makes you think I’m gonna tell you” I asked raising a brow in question
“There are three of us we are full vamps and there is one of you” Drako said smirking
“Ass” I said he just shrugged his shoulders and “Common how much do you weigh” he asked
“59 pounds” I said looking at my feet
“That is not healthy why don’t you ever actually eat lunch?”
“None of your business” I said
He moved closer to me I backed up he smirked.
“So you are afraid of something you do have some common sense” my eyes went cold and hard “Or at least sense of self preservation” he said with a smirk
“Really I’ll show you self preservation here in a moment” I said then I heard another car pull up “Oh look mum is here now if you have any sense of self preservation I would leave” I said
They went out the back I think I’m not quite sure.
“Hello Lilearia” she said
“What afraid that calling me your daughter in private will become something you will do in public”
“You are not my daughter no matter what that birth certificate says” she said “YOU ARE CRAZY” she yelled at me
She was drunk as usual right after dad died things were okay unless she got drunk then she would blame it all on me I learned to deal with it.
“It is you’re fault he is dead you if you had not been born we would still be together now I would not be yelling at the whore standing in front of me look at what you are wearing you look nothing like me you are nothing like me you are not my daughter you are not even in the same family as me you died with him the you I knew you died too”
“No you did I moved on and I have no Mother or father anymore I have no one I haven’t had anyone for such a long time not too long ago I thought I would die if no one cared about me you see these scars on my wrist and how skinny I am I refused to eat I was sent to a hospital for a year because of an eating disorder at first but it became more it became headaches that would stay for days and now I am on Medications for them and I have to take them all the time it is not my fault dad died it is yours for letting him die inside of you he would not leave me the way you did he would have moved on but not remarried he would have lived not died little by little like I have inside because I have had no one. And you are still my mother if you get into the hospital I will visit you but when you die I will not morn because to me you have been dead for years just like my Father. Goodbye” I said I ran out the back not a tear would fall but they were falling inside I guess I trained myself not to feel on the outside where everyone can see me. I got into my car and just kept driving I couldn’t bring myself to go back to the school yet maybe because I knew that the guys or at least Drako heard every single word of what was said and now he knows the answer to his question.
Monday morning I got up early to prepare I put my blonde hair with the red tint into a side pony tail and I put on a Light brown tank it was long in the waist and I put a dark red hoody jacket midriff over the top and I put on a pair of figure fitting jeans I outlined my eyes in brown eyeliner instead of black and I put on eye shadow dark red yes this is a chore for me I never ever wear make up. That may see strange because I know every girl wears make up at least once in their life but I haven’t really until now I hate make up I think it is just a way to make money because I think women are beautiful the way they are and if a guy can’t see them that way then screw them well I am really showing that now oh well whatever I hate Mondays I am always in a bad mood people won’t stop staring at me and I can’t help thinking this isn’t my style because it isn’t I think I am going to change before lunch no I am going to change before lunch I don’t look like the punk rock goddess I know is in their somewhere.
I went into the bathroom before lunch slid into a black ballet skirt that had a dark red outline and into the dark red midriff I had had on before just without the tank underneath I outlined my lips in in black and put on dark red lipstick and outlined my eyes in black eyeliner instead of brown and I left my hair in the side ponytail except I added black beads to the ponytail giving it some flavor of my own I wanted to look real like myself not like some wanna be Barbie Ami clone. When I walked into the cafeteria everyone was staring Drako looked at me amazed and then Michael looked at me like I was there not like I was his sister either and Adrian smirked Ami looked at me in disgusted I just smiled at her she walked over to me she stuck her fist out to punch me in the stomach and began saying.
“Who do you think you are that you can change what you look like but not what you act like you won’t do anything when I punch you”
I grabbed her fist and twisted her arm backward.
“No because that would be stooping to your level and I don’t go that L-o-w” I said the last word slowly so she could hear it perfectly with pronunciation. I let go of her wrist she looked at me in shock.
“What shocked because I won’t play your game sorry I don’t go there” I said walking away from her now
