I was standing at the window nearest to me, playing with the funny patterns that went up and down the wall. I was always in here, alone with nothing but my books and thoughts. I wasn't liked here at the school, I was different then every one else. I would get made fun of for being smart and stuff, but that didn't bug me; they were just words. Even if the words never got to me, they soon found out , and started to bet me up when they found me. 1
The school was very beautiful , it was 17 feet high building and housed 5,034 rooms, but only 1,563 were used. It was right smack in the center of the woods were it was hard for humans to get to. We wear uniforms here, the boys wear the normal white button down shirts with a black blazer and dress pants. The tie was a scarlet red color and the logo was of the moon moving in front of the sun. It stands for the school name: Ecliptic Moon. The girls wore about the same thing but instead of a tie and pants, it was a skirt and a bow. The school was made up of 5 years of learning, I was only a first year and knew my way up to at least 4th year. Children like my self weren't called vampires; you are considered an adult vampire at 18 and depending on how fast your body changed. We didn't die if the change wasn't in affect, some took to long and some were faster, they pick your year by the process of change not age. And we were named :Links.2
I moved my self to stand in front of the window, I opened the crimson red curtains and squinted as the setting sun hit my face. Humans always make up the funniest things, we could go out in day light and nothing would happen. We were sensitive to the light, but we didn't turn to ash. 3
As my head drifted to la la land, I herd the door creek open. I didn't move, a hand was placed on my shoulder, then I turned around. "You need to keep your guard up, I could of been one of those jack-a," I interrupted him and said. "Not if I knew it was you, Eric you don't need to worry so much." 4
Eric was the only person that treated me like a someone, I guess you could say we were friends. I never really saw him that way, more like a big brother then a friend. And he was, he was 16 and was a 4th year. Eric was a goofy kid, he had jet black hair that was corrupt short but was still shaggy. He had bright gray eyes that looked grayish blue in the light. His body was muscular, foot ball did a lot of good for him. He was my role model, I thought to myself. ' I'm going to be like him some day.' And I was sure of it. 5
I looked at him after the babble in my head was over, I knew he came here to tell me something and for some reason he had forgotten. His expression was blank for a while and then he said, "I could have been them plus, what makes you think I'm not dangerous." He had a playful but dangerous look in his eyes. Eric was really good in combat, he was always up for wrestling matches. 6
Before he said anything I said, "Eric I'm still in pain from our last battle, please." I felt the pain that washed it's way up my spine and down my arms and legs. I spoke to soon, I was lifted of the ground in seconds. Vamp’s can't fly or at that links but we glide with the nonhuman speed, you don't get that speed until you are a 2nd year. We were zooming threw the halls, I knew I couldn't squeeze my way out of his grip. I had an idea pop in my head, I hope he didn't get the gift of mind reading; a lot of kids have gotten that gift lately. I stuck my figure in my mouth, I shot a glance up at him as if I we scared and started to slobber all over my figure. There was a smile that was fighting it's way out of the corner of my lips, he ran to where the stairs meet the first floor when I popped my figure out of my mouth and stuck it in Eric's ear. 7
His grip on my waist loosened and I feel over the ledge of the stairs and landed gracefully to my feet. I fell to the ground in tears of laughter(Yes we can cry and we don't melt, wait that's for witches). I heard him groan in disgust, when I felt his legs at each side of my thighs. He towered me, he got on in knees and pulled me up right. He had that playful look again and that's when he licked my face. I was tugging and pulling away, he laughed then pinned me to the ground and continued with the licking. It was like a puppy licking it's owner in joy of his return. 8
I wrapped my leg's around his waist, wound my arms around his neck. He struggled to get me off, I let my weight be carried by his arms that were on the marble floor split foot long side by side. I dangled from his body, I managed to round my body to his back. My weight dropped and he began to stand up, I tightened my hold on his neck and waist. He was pulling at my arms and legs, he finally got me to face him; his smile was victorious. Not for long, I placed my leg's around his waist again and got my hand to go free, I wound my hands tightly around his neck again. He pulled at my body to let go, my hands were now on his shoulders and my face was in the side of his neck. I had the urge to bit him(Links can't do any damage or transform a vamp/ link or human until full grown),I positioned my fangs to were I wanted them to strike. I softly but hastily bite down, he all but shivered, then paused as we both looked to our right. 9
10
We were in big trouble(OK I exaggerate), we were in the chief's office listening to him rant on. "I expected this from Eric but you Dillon, you have potential and your very smart. This behavior isn't you. And I'm not just saying all this because our human guest got a front row seat to your little match." 11
The human guest he refuse to was not just a guest, he was an 'inspector', humans came to the school once in a while to make sure no one has rebelled and that everyone is 'Being Good' . He went on with his speech, " Not to mention the anxiety attack and heart fail-er you gave him. I think you have better things to do then be playing around like a little kid. You have already grown so much, your body already exudes you and your knowledge is way beyond a 3rd year. You age is to be in 14 years of age." 12
There was a mirror behind him, I look at it and saw my self. My hair was a chocolate brown color that was a shaggy short but long style and my eyes were a honey brown but a little amber touched them when seen in the light. My body was in at a healthy weight, I was 4'1 and still growing. I didn't look my age, I was only six. 13
As the chief (Eric and I call him that 'cause, Head Master Vierdos Morvant sounded to Hogwarts) talked on about school and such, I glanced Eric who looked like he might cry from the laughter, a plead for help. He wanted to smile me an answer but I knew that the laughter would over ride him. 14
Chief Vierdos looked over to Eric who was bouncing in his seat, holding back the laughter. He didn't drop his gaze on Eric, it looked like they were having a staring contest. The expression on there faces looked like they weren't giving up.15
"AH HA HA HA," the boom of laughter filled the large office, at first I thought It was Eric who was laughing but it was me with the laughter boom . As soon as it started they both chimed in. Eric put his arm closest to chief Vierdos around his neck and said, "Chief you need to lighten up." As they went on about the good times I got the sent of some kind of odor. I couldn't smell blood, that wouldn't happen until I was a 5th year. But I could smell odors coming from humans like tears and sweat. 16
I turned to see a human male standing at the big door of the office, he looked scared and nervous. His nervousness made him sweat, I smile an alluring smile(Note when your a 4 year you get the ability to lure your pray). All the emotions a human could have, played on his face, I strengthened my smile and stood up. His expression went blank, he knelt down to my level. I walked over to him and bent down a little so my lips were to his ear, I took the strength of my smile and turn it down into a grin. I whispered in a child like sweet and innocent tone, " Don't be afraid of what you don't understand; calm down." 17
I closed my eyes and sighed, he did as I commanded. As his eyes closed and he took a breath or two, I had noticed the room went quiet. I stood up straight and sighed again, I turned to look at Chief Vierdos and Eric. They stood still with a shocked expression, the man stood up as well and a little less frightened he said, "You passed, now if you will excuse me I have a little girl waiting for me at home." Before he disappeared into the hallway he looked back and winked at me. The two bone heads just stood there with there mouths wide open, before they could ask I smiled and went toward the mess hall for food. 18
I was entering the mess hall were there wasn't a lot of links, we didn't have class till 9:30 p.m. and right know it was only 8:15. I walked further into the dining hall , Eric was at my flank in an instant. He was ready to ask what was the deal with what happened when I was pushed to the ground. I got ready for the next blow but instead I saw the shadow Eric casted with his body in front of mine. He spoke in a harsh, hateful tone, "You shouldn't have done that, now apologize." I had never heard him use that kind of tone, we were being surrounded by links and vamps. all at once. 19
"I'm not going to apologize to some weak link that has no mommy or daddy." The jack-a squad's leader(that's my nick name for them) said voicing the ' mommy and daddy' in a baby tone. I really didn't take there word, I just ignored them. This time I stood up and said in a rush, "Apologize Please." It was a bad idea I should of just stayed on the floor and waited for the hitting to stop, he had reach around Eric in a fast movement, his punch hit me right on the side of the mouth. That's what I get for not keeping quiet. Eric didn't say anything, his body started to vibrate in anger.20
The next thing I know, the jack-a leader was on the ground crying in pain, the rest of his squad abandoned him in fear they were next. I looked over at Eric, he was rubbing his fist were it was white in some places and red in most. He stopped rubbing his hand, he bent down grabbed the leader by the collier of his shirt and pulled him up. "That was a bad move. APOLOGIZE!" Eric was screaming at him, the leader looked to be about 15 years old, he had dirty dish blond hair. His eyes were a disgusting green and he looked muscular but couldn't compare to Eric. I also noticed Eric towered over him, Eric was 6'4 and the boy looked to be about 5'9. 21
I was so busy noticing things that I didn't see it coming, Malcolm as I heard some one from the crowed call him, hit Eric straight in the mouth. He dropped Malcolm and cried in pain, blood oozed from him mouth down his chin to his white under shirt. Malcolm was on him feet, he practically ran towards me, his fist reached my gut and I was already on my knees gasping for air. He didn't waste time, he lounged his foot as if hitting a soccer ball at my face. I was on my back now, I heard a girl say," Why isn't anyone stopping them". I thought to myself 'It never stops'. 22
I was expecting more, but it didn't come. I looked up to see Eric had Malcolm in a chock hold and was trying to get him to fall, with success he got on top of him and started to make mashed potatoes out of Malcolm's face. I looked around to see if there were any of the Professors here yet, and there was. Prof. Rex Vorhis was handing what looked like $20 dollar to Prof. Kain Devries. I could understand why Prof. Vorhis was betting on a fight ,he was the combat teacher for 4th and 5th year links/vamps, but Prof. Devries was a history teacher. 23
I turned my gaze to Eric and Malcolm, Eric mumbled something to Malcolm and I heard every word. "You piece of shit, I'm going to make red snow out of you, Jack-ass." Eric looked at me, I wasn't shock that Malcolm looked like mush but that Eric said Jack-a. He came to a stop and that's when everyone started to swarm away from the scene, Head Prof. Elvira Sturm, she was the healer, she was babbling on about thing's I didn't quite catch. She looked at me then at Malcolm, back to me then to Eric and back to Malcolm. She started to work on Malcolm, she called for a stretcher and towels. 24
Eric was in front of me now, he bent down to my ear and whispered, "I'm taking away your innocence, and getting you in fights. I'm sorry." My eye's started to water, he wasn't the cause of this, it was just my weirdness. I was about to correct him but my vision went blurry and my body ache with the pain of the beating I took. This was nothing compared to other times, but my mind couldn't process anything else. I gave in to the pain and the fogginess of my vision. I felt my body fall against his, his arms wrapped around me like a blanket, and in my head I picture this would be how it felt to have my father hold me.
25
My body ached so much with pain, there was also something in my head that was telling me to get up. It was a pretty voice, like one of those famous female singers. But it wasn't singing, it was telling me 'sweet heart get up, come get up'. It might have been my imagination but for some right reason I felt like the voice wasn't waking me up, I looked further in my head to see if I could get a glimpse of the body that housed that familiar voice. I reached until I saw long Burnett hair over the face of the girl. I went in further but then my body felt heavy and I couldn't go any more. Soon after my vision was taken over by brilliant yellow light. 26
I opened my eye's to the ugly yellow infirmary, I heard a soft like buzz coming from the side of the cot I was on. I looked over to my right and there lay Eric with saliva dripping down his chin, there was a puddle that had formed on the white blanket that covered the cot I slept in. 27
I smiled at his sleeping body, I wasn't his brother or even related, and yet here he was worrying about me as if I were. I sat up, I placed my hand on his head and brushed at his hair with my hand. He grumbled then woke in a sudden shock, with a chocked breath he said, " Oh god are you OK, does anything hurt, do you need... no that's for adults. How about....no that's for dogs, do you need, no that's for-" I cut him off so he would stop talking by slamming my hand on his mouth.28
People started to look our direction, I closed my eye's and rubbed the corner of my forehead. This was just not my week, I opened my eyes to Eric who was picking his nose. "Dillon check this one out it's bigger then yesterdays." He had a great big grin on his face while he shoved his buggy at me. Man sometimes I think he's more of the 6 year old then I am.29
I gave him a smile, and closed my eye's again, after a while I could here the tapping of his foot. I spoke with the sound of an old man about to tell his grandchildren about his adventures he had when he was there age. "Do you remember the time you gave me chocolate marshmallow candy, WE didn't expect it to affect me that bad!" I laughed, links could in fact eat candy, and depending on your body system, you could end up getting hyper-ed like those human kids who chugged too much caffeine. 30
"Yeah I do, you had me so worried," he said with a frown on his face. That day I was out of my mind bored. Classes had been canceled because of an alert that had been going on, and still is. "I would not leave you alone, when you finally gave me candy to stop from bugging you," I said with a smirk, I can be childish when I want to be. "Even though you did leave me alone enough to finish the paper for Mrs. Clive-Devries, you still managed to get on my nerves," Eric was smiling now. 31
"I asked, 'Do vampires fly?'" I was laughing at the memory that rang threw my ears out my mouth. "And I said 'Why don't you go find out?'" He laughed with me. I stopped laughing and finished, "And I did." His smile that was placed on his face was now gone, "You did, you almost had me crying when I herd people shouting 'He jumped, he jumped'." I laughed, he looked so Sirius. "Stop laughing, I was going to die if I had been the cause of your death," he looked at me with Grief on his face. 32
"Head Prof. Strum was right we aren't humans, so we shouldn't grieve over our kinds death," I felt tears on my cheek as I said this. Eric smiled at me, "You were laughing when I got there, you even wanted to do it again." We were both laughing know, Prof. Strum walked in and gave us a grumpy gruff that made it sound like a dog. We laughed harder, as I caught my breath I said "We got a long lecture that day from the Chief, you laughed at everything he said." 33
"He did laugh at everything I said, and still does," we turned to see Chief. Vierdos standing against the door to the infirmary. We were quiet until he started to laugh, we joined in. "You shouldn't act like a child Head Master. Morvant." Prof. Strum was giving us all an unsatisfied look. "Loosen up Elvira, were just having a little fun. Those are great memories if I do say so my self," he used the same tone Eric had used the other day. Prof. Strum just walked away with the same Gruff from earlier. 34
"Well my fair little links, I suggest you make your way to your rooms," his expression suggested he was greatly upset. "Don't we have classes?" I had notice just to soon after Eric spoke, that it was night out. "Oh no, they were canceled because of the Alert we have been on for this hole month." He looked down at his watch that he wore on his left arm. "But classes will resume in two days." He smiled at us and walked away.35
"Wonder what is-" Eric caught me off short and said, "I have an idea, how about we go explore!"
36
We were a half mile away from the school, Eric had literally dresses me. He said it was going to be the biggest adventure of our immortal life's. I looked at his skeptically, we were about 2 miles away from the humans boundary. "THAT'S where were going?" I was beginning to doubt Eric as a responsible person.37
"You are smart, are you a mind reader now?" He asked me with out sarcasm which made him look like a moron. "You have to be kidding me, no I’m not; your easy to read," he was glaring at me; at least he got that much. 38
We walked for what seem like days, we were at the edge of the boundary line. I look straight through the line of trees that stood ahead of me as Eric went babbling on about how there was werewolf's surrounding us, and he started to make swoosh noises. I saw two little boys, about my age standing up against a tree with terror in there eyes. 39
I looked over to Eric who was now acting like a mummy slayer. I sighed, I didn't want to take off and if I were to get caught doing this Eric would be the one in trouble. I tuned out the argument that was going on in my head, I ran straight toward the boys that were surrounding the two feared boys. I wanted to look back and see Eric still playing his little game, but I was afraid he might be following. 40
I was inches away from the 'group gathering' , my limbs went stiff but my body kept moving. The next thing I knew, I was towering the two boys that were being confronted. The gang of boys starred at me in ah and oh’s, my body stiffened up. I felt anger erupt my hole body, I felt three hands at my arms. I couldn't even look back, the boy that stood in front of me was smirking the shock already gone. 41
"Oh well looky here, losers protecting losers," the boy looked behind me to see the two boys they were after and to who I believe was Eric. Like I had said before, humans were interesting. But how could these humans be so cruel with there own kind, yet they criticize us for being ruthless killers. I pitied them, I also felt hate in those words. Eric was at my ear now, "Don't do this Dillon you don't want to go down that road." I didn't, I thought I did. It was like Eric when he stepped in to save me from the jack-a squad, didn't I want to do that for them?42
Eric whispered in my ear again, "That was different, we are different." I realized what he was trying to do and I obeyed. I stepped back from the dork boy that stood straight ahead. "Yeah, listen to your boyfriend," this boy was arrogant and stupid. I got the urge to punch him the way Eric did to Malcom. But I was too late, the boy laid on the ground crying and holding his nose as if it were a peruses thing. 43
"Man your slow, I did you a favor," I turned to see a cream brown about 14 year old standing to the side of Eric. Eric didn't even notice until the boy spoke. He was tall and had cropped hair, his eyes mimicked mine in a honey brown tone. He spoke again, "Now get out of here, your crossing territory YOU don't wan t o mess with!" He emphasized the you, I turn my body to face him. I took a long breath, I felt my nose burn. He smelled like a dead Dog.44
