“What!” Felicia screeched. “What are you talking about?”
“Lower your voice you idiot, your drawing attention to us.” her sister Lovina hissed.
Louise sighed. “It’s true. I talked to him and he confirmed that both he and his friend are vampires.”
Felicia stood in her seat and glared around the cafeteria. “Where are they?”
Louise scanned the room until he located Gilbert, who seemed to feel her gaze and lifted his head to smirk at her. “That’s him over there, the white haired one.”
Felicia glared at him; he simply looked at her with an innocent gaze, and narrowed her eyes. Her lips moved silently and it wasn’t until a yellow glow started to surround her that Louise realized that she was casting a spell.
Louise took her arm firmly and yanked Felicia back into her seat. “No casting spells at school.” Louise hissed.
Felicia pouted before she sighed and placed herself against Louise.
Louise curled her arm around Felicia. “The smart thing to do for today is nothing and tell Arthur as soon as we can.”
“Tell Arthur what?” a familiar voice asked. The trio turned to see the rest of their group, Sakura and Ivan, join them with trays filled with the cafeteria food.
Lovina wrinkled her nose at the food on their trays. “Try all you want, magic is not going to make those things even close to edible.”
Ivan shrugged. “Call this the punishment of forgetting our lunches at home. And tell Arthur what?”
“Vampires have infiltrated the school.” Lovina said as she picked through the lunch she had brought. She stabbed a tomato viciously with her fork and brought it to her mouth.
“What do you mean infiltrated the school?” Sakura asked.
“She means that about two feet away from us is a pair of vampires that now go to this school.” Felicia said as she reached for her own lunch. “The white haired creepy looking one.”
“I don’t think that we should wait until the end of the day.” Ivan said. “I have gym next , I can cut that class and go to him.”
Louise frowned. “We shouldn’t cut class.”
“I think this is one time that we can.” Lovina said. “But honestly, what can Arthur do?”
“Absolutely nothing.” a new voice said. Everyone at the table looked to where Gilbert and Francis were now standing next to them.
Gilbert smirked. “I really doubt that your teacher could do anything to us.”
“Don’t underestimate our teacher.” Lovina hissed.
“Your teacher that teaches you what to think.” Gilbert said. “You allow him to fill your heads with his own opinions and beliefs. If you had even an ounce of a brain you would wait and figure out your own opinions.”
“I don’t think that we invited you here with us.” Ivan said. “Please leave us alone.”
Francis shook his head. “Honestly, it is not as if we are trying to do something horrible to this school.”
“So why come here?” Louise asked.
Gilbert shrugged. “We got curious to the livings of a regular human teenager.” he offered.
Lovina snorted. “Bullshit.”
Gilbert grinned now. “Alright, you got me. That was bullshit. ”
“Then why are you here?” Felicia hissed.
Gilbert shrugged. “Decided to come here to watch and learn the humans of this day and age. This is a learning time more than a vacation.”
“You are not welcome here.” Ivan said.
“And who is going to make us leave?” Gilbert asked. “The five of you barely have enough power to take on Francis, let alone me.”
“Hey.” Francis protested. Gilbert waved his hand dismissively. “I’m stronger than you and you know it.”
“How about this?” Gilbert asked as he placed his hands behind his back. “We don’t bother you and you don’t bother us, deal?”
“And how do we know that you won’t hurt the student body here?” Louise asked.
“Because they have nothing that we want.” Gilbert said. “In fact if there is anyone in this school that we are interested in it is you five.”
The bell rang at that moment making most of the students groan and gather their belongings to return to class.
“And with that we have gym class.” Gilbert said. He tipped an imaginary hat towards them. “Ladies and gentleman, I bid you a good day.”
Francis was silent as he and Gilbert walked towards the gym.
“Do you really think that it’s wise to try and associate with witches?” Francis asked quietly. “This can be seen as a threat, considering your place in the vampire world, your highness.”
Gilbert laughed lightly. “Francis, they are just little apprentices and I thought I told you not to call me that at school. They cannot do anything. The girl with blonde hair though.” he looked thoughtful for a moment. “She has a very powerful future for her.”
“A witch that will be powerful and you already made her your enemy.” Francis said shaking his head.
Gilbert shook his head. “Not…a witch exactly. I can’t put my finger on it.”
Francis raised a single eyebrow. “She can do magic and is an apprentice to a well-known witch. You don’t think that she’s a witch?”
Gilbert grinned sheepishly. “I know that it makes no sense. But enough of little apprentices, when is Antonio joining us at here?”
“When he returns with the group that went to Spain.” Francis said. “As I have told you countless times.”
“Mm.” Gilbert said his mind already running back to the blonde haired girl that had caught his attention.

“Allowing vampire vermin to enter a place where humans go every day!” Arthur growled as he paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back. “The nerve of those two! Thinking that they can masquerade among normal beings!”
“It’s not like the others know that they are vampires, master.” Ivan said. “I don’t think that’s one of the questions you ask when students want to go to your school.”
“Regardless.” Arthur snorted. “Animals such as them shouldn’t be alive, yet alone allowing them to mingle with others.”
“What do you expect us to do?” Lovina asked. She stretched in her place on the couch and placed her feet next to her. “I mean, you can’t expect us to go to the same school as them. I am not transferring from another school.”
“My sister and I have transferred from three schools already due to magical mishaps.” Felicia added.
“Once for me.” Ivan admitted.
Arthur shook his head in slight amusement before he looked up at his apprentices.
“I honestly don’t think that there is anything that you would be able to do.” he said. “However you all have my phone number, should anything, no matter how little or big, happen call me and I will come to the school.”
“I have complete faith in all of you.” Arthur said looking at his students proudly. “You come from distinguished and powerful magical families. I know that you will do the right things. It is in your blood.”
He glanced at Louise who had looked to side almost ashamed and smiled. He placed his hand on her shoulder.
“I mean no offense to you, apprentice.” Arthur said gently. “I am sure that your family does have magic in its bloodline, magic does not simply appear in a family however it does occasionally skip over some lines.”
Louise managed a smile. “Thanks.”

“You have become quite the cook.” Alvar said at dinner that night.
“Thank you.” Louise said as she pushed her food around on her plate.
“Is something wrong? You are hardly eating.” he said.
Louise started to shake her head when she looked up at her father and asked “can you tell me about mother?”
Alvar froze for a moment, staring at his plate in silence, before he cleared his throat and carefully asked “What do you want to know?”
“Well…” Louise said playing with her fork. “Did anything…weird happen around her?”
“Define weird.”
“Something strange, unusual around her.” Louise said. “Things that usually didn’t happen with others.”
Alvar looked thoughtful for a moment. “Well she did have cravings for pickles covered in chocolate sauce that was fried when she was pregnant. Does that count?”
“Pickles…covered in chocolate sauce…that was fried?” Louise repeated looking green.
“I had the same reaction when I saw her making them.” Alvar said. He pushed some food into his mouth as he thought.
Swallowing he said “Now that I look back there are some little things that I didn’t notice before. When she reached her third month of pregnancy she was very warm, borderline fever warm, and whenever she entered a room the whole room became warm. In the beginning I thought it was simply me reacting to her coming into the room however when others started to complain about the heat I realized that she was the cause of it.”
Alvar continued to stare at the wall, his eyes far away. “Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and she would be sitting on the windowsill watching the full moon, always the full moon, and stroke her stomach where you were.”
Alvar cleared his throat once more as he quickly blinked a few times.
“Can…can you tell me about her?” Louise asked quietly. “I barely know anything about her. What was she like?”
Alvar kept his gaze on his plate. “She was…a very…wonderful woman. A bit mischievous and outgoing yet at the same time shy. She was independent and knew how to protect herself. What attracted me to her I cannot say or plate it to a single point. I just realized that I had loved her for a long time.”
He was silent for a moment before he pushed his plate away.
“I…ah I have some…work to do.” he said not meeting her eyes. “I might eat something later. Have a good night.”
Louise nodded. “Good night father.”
Alvar reached towards her and lightly brushed his fingers on her cheek before he turned to leave. She felt her cheeks heat up slightly; touching wasn’t something they did in their family that often. He paused in the doorway and without looking back he said “You remind me a lot of her.” before he left towards his office.
Later once she had finished slowly eating her dinner Louise passed her father’s office to a somewhat familiar sight. Her father in his office chair with a drink in his hand with a strong alcohol as he stared at the picture he had on his desk of his wedding day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Louise rubbed her forehead as she pushed her notebooks to the side, her homework done. Glancing at her door to make sure it was locked she reached into her desk to get the jar of black paint that Felicia had given to her.
Making a quick trip to the bathroom that was connected to her room to grab a small bowl of water she placed it on the desk next to the paint. She twisted the lid off and dipped the paintbrush into the jar.
Holding out her left arm she rolled the sleeve back to reveal the faded symbol. Long ago the symbol was tattooed on the apprentices of their masters however with the times moving the way it had it had been decreed that tattooing was no longer the right thing to do for the younger apprentices.
She carefully traced the symbol over and over again until she was sure that it would stay and the image was clear enough, occasionally dipping the brush into either the paint or the water. Nodding to herself she placed the paintbrush into the bowl of water as she blew lightly on the still wet paint on her arm.
Placing the cap back on the jar she waved her arm in an attempt to dry it as she crossed her room and opened the window. Balancing herself carefully on the ledge she lifted herself up and reached with her foot to the tree that stood beside the window. Her body was used to the motions and easily climbed up the tree and the side of the house until she was on the roof.
Stretching out along on the roof she sighed and stared up at the stars and the almost full moon, which sent a thrill running through her. Watching the moon make its monthly cycle towards being full almost sent electricity running through her and her power almost bursting from her.
She stared up at the moon with a smile on her face and as she tilted her head back lightly and closed her eyes she gave an almost moan as her powers came up and gently flew from her and into the still night air. Unknown to her the power that rose inside of her reached a crescendo, a height she had never achieved when she had concentrated. The wind blew suddenly around her before continuing forward.
Elsewhere in the town Alfred and his brother Matthew had been talking before the wind blew around them. The both of them lifted their heads towards the sky and breathed in deeply. Alfred gave a low moan of longing and licked his lips.
“What the hell is this?” Matthew whispered breathing deeper.
“I have no idea.” Alfred whispered back. “But I want it. By the great Moon I want it.”
In another part of the town, far away from the witches, werewolves and humans, Gilbert was on the balcony of his home with a glass of blood loosely hanging in his hand. The wind blew around him suddenly and once he breathed in deeply his eyes widened in surprise and he dropped the glass. It broke into pieces and fell around the ground. Paying no attention to the sharp shards he stepped onto them as he took a few steps forward.
“This scent.” he murmured. “Is it…that girls? The earth and the sun and the sky and moon.”
He licked his lips. “My blood. It sings for you. Little apprentice.”
