I squeezed past the vampires skipping class and jogged down a flight of stairs. I was late for class because this morning I had found a guy covered in blood on the side of the road. Of course I didn’t leave him there, I rang an ambulance and waited till they were there but they told me I couldn’t see him for a couple of hours anyway.
I dodged the werewolves at the bottom of the flight of stairs that lead to the underground level.
Miss G had already started teaching our witchcraft class so I opened the door as quietly as I could but sighed when I realized Casey had saved me a seat right up the front. My footsteps gave me away and the teacher spun around. “Katrina, I’ve been waiting for you. I didn’t know if you were going to turn up. I was hoping you would show Mr Grey around today” Miss G said with a smile. She was a good teacher and I didn’t mind her but this is the second new student she has asked me to show around in only a couple of days and the last one was a psycho who had tried to kill someone.
I nodded and took a seat in between Casey and Mr Grey. “Where have you been?” Casey asked not worried since last week I was late because I saved a bird. “I saw a guy unconscious on the side of the road so I stopped and called an ambulance” I explained. Her brown eyes went massive and her mouth fell open. “What happened to him?” She shrieked way too loudly and the whole class turned and stared. I smiled awkwardly before turning back to talk to her. “I don’t know. I’ll see him tonight” I whispered. She nodded and I suddenly remembered Mr Grey was sitting next to me. I turned to face him. “Sorry, crazy morning. “What’s your first name?” I asked him. He had dark hair like the last one but he had gorgeous green eyes. “My name is Harley Grey” he said with a nice smile. “Oh, I’m Molly” I looked over to see the one vampire in our class leaning over the table to shake hands with the human. She was beautiful but also thought she was way above the rest of us. The two seamed to get along since they talked for the rest of the lesson.
“Do you think Molly is going to try to kill Harley tonight?” I asked Casey while walking home. “No, he is too well known now so people would get suspicious when the vampire and human both went missing” she answered and I left it at that.
That night I went to see the guy at the hospital from the accident. It turns out his name is Kane and he remembered me from primary school. He was alright and everything seemed great until Molly and Harley didn’t turn up for school the next morning.
