High School

[buildingaspaceship]

No one was paying attention to Emery, and he didn't want to be there. Suddenly, his father directed his attention to the middle child, and asked him clearly how his day was. Emery was confused, his father hardly ever spoke to him, always too caught up with his heir. Emery cleared his throat, "when did I become important enough to speak to?" He glares at his father, hands gripping his fork. He was always just so angry, but he put this down to daddy issues. The table went silent, the children looking at Emery, confused. He was always so nice to them, and his voice was now angry and loud.

"I brought dinner!" Leela's dad says, and she jumps up at the smell of Pizza. "Yes! Cheese?" She asks, and her dad nods. "You're a werewolf, you're supposed to eat meat." He says, making Leela roll her eyes. "I eat meat sometimes dad, just not a lot." She says, grabbing a slice out of the box and taking a bite happily. "So how was your day?" Her father asks, taking a bite of his pepperoni and pineapple pizza. She decided on not telling him about the whole 'vampire at my school' thing. "Oh, you know, normal." She says, and her father shakes his head and laughs.

His fathers face stays calm, and his mother looks at him angrily. Emery stabs his fork into the table, "I'm not your perfect son. I won't be an heir, you may as well have just killed me when I was a kid to protect me from this much rejection!" His mother gasps, Emery's voice now extremely loud. His father, Edward, keeps his eyes on Emery, and the table falls silent once again. Emery stands up and slams his fists on the table, "You won't even defend yourself!"

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela finishes off half of the pizza her dad brought and yawned. She checks the clock to see that it wasn't very late, but she was very tired. She usually went to sleep very early after she phased. "I'm gonna go to sleep." She says, and kisses her dad on the cheek. She then goes into her bedroom and changes into a very large t-shirt, then climbs into bed.

Acting like the typical spoilt kid that Emery was, he picked up his glass and threw it at the wall before storming upstairs, hearing Cinnabar and Chimera bursting into tears simultaneously. He slams his bedroom door and locks it, then slides down it, putting his head into his hands. After a few minutes sitting like that, he stands up and walks over to a mini fridge thats in his room, opens it, and drinks a bottle of blood, before throwing the bottle on the floor in a corner. He walks over to his bed, strips off, throwing his clothes on the floor, closes the curtains, turns off the lights, and takes off his pendant, putting it on the bedside table next to him. He climbs into his bed and lays there for an hour, staring at the ceiling, before eventually dozing off.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

((yay next day ))


Leela opens her eyes and then closes them quickly. "Maybe if I go back to sleep it won't be morning anymore." She says to herself, but is interrupted by her father rapping on her window, the loud sound of the lawnmower almost drowning it out. "Wake 'em up!" He yells and Leela flops onto the floor. "Eh." She says, and stands up. She still had a while before school so she decided to take a shower.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery wakes up earlier than expected, drenched in sweat and he bolts upright, glancing around his room quickly, panting. His nightmares were getting worse, but he would never tell anyone about them, they had to stay a secret between himself and his journal. He stands up and stretches, before putting on his pendant and walking into his en suit. He showers to get rid of the stink of sweat and hops out, dries off, and then walks back into his bedroom wrapped in a towel, it's still quite early, but he chooses his clothes quickly. Black jeans, and a dark green t-shirt, hiding his pendant underneath.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

After washing herself she hops out of the shower, dries off, then puts on her bathrobe. After blow drying her hair she goes into her bedroom and changes into an A Day To Remember band shirt, ripped red skinny jeans, and her black converse. She puts on mascara, then brushes out her hair and puts it in a messy side braid. She then walks into the kitchen and makes herself a bowl of Fruity Pebbles (yes, they're the best :3).

 

[buildingaspaceship]

(Never had them o_O)


Emery looks at the tshirt, still being able to see the pendant underneath it. He took it off and rooted around his drawers for his old ring, then slid that on. Much better, he nodded and pulled on his boots before opening his curtains and leaving his room. He had plenty of time for breakfast, but after yesterday he wasn't much in the mood to eat with his family, nor for bottled blood. He bit his lip as he walked down the hall and down a secret staircase, into their dark cellar, and walked quietly into a dark soundproof room, where three girls were sat in a corner cowering together. Emery grinned to himself as he crouched down next to them, the girls beginning to beg. Hello breakfast.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

( O.o wat?)


"Oh, hey dad the mail is in my bag." She says, munching on her cereal as her dad opens her bag and grabs the mail. "Thank you." He says, then walks into the kitchen. Leela finishes her cereal and puts the bowl on the table, knowing that her dad would put it up later. She glanced at the clock. "Oh, I took to long taking a shower." She says quietly as it was 7:25 and she had to be at school by 8:00. "See you later, Pops!" She calls as she walks out of the door with her bag and hops on her bike.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

(I'm British o_O)


Emery grabbed one of the girls forcefully as the other two scrambled to the other side of the room, back into a corner together. The one who he had a hold of struggling to get away from him. He didn't stop her, even though he could. He could make her feel no pain, make her stay still, but he preferred her to struggle. He moved his head closer to her neck, grazing his teeth against it before going for the bite. His eyes closed as the fresh blood poured into his mouth and he drank, moving his head away for a moment to catch his breath before he drained her dry, every last drop of her gone, she was dead. He stepped back and felt the blood trailing down his chin, his teeth stained red and the liquid smeared around his face, on his hands, on his shirt. He spat on the ground, spitting out a piece of the girls throat that he had bit clean off, before he looked over at the other two girls, still begging for him to stop. He turned and left the room, locking the door and putting the key back in its place. He'd have to get changed again, which meant that he'd be late for school.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

( I should've known from the time distance :3)


As Leela arrived at the school it was roughly 7:52. She rushed into the building and grabbed her book out of the locker, she still had a few minutes, but she ran to the classroom anyway. She took the same seat she took the day before and opened her textbook to a random page. She took a moment to calm her breathing, then lay her head down.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

(that's why I always fall asleep before you )


Emery walked back upstairs, and straight into his brother, who looked at him for a moment, smiling, until he saw the blood on him. "Emery! You killed one, didn't you?! Didn't you?!" He says, looking at his brother with an angry expression. "You have no self control. Even if you could ever be the heir, you would be a disgrace." Fenton tuts and walks off, presumably to tell their father what Emery had done. Emery walked to his room quickly, cleaned the blood away from his face and changed into dark blue skinny jeans and a white shirt, before walking downstairs quickly and grabbing his back from Moira's outstretched hands. He got into the car which set off, driving faster than usual. He'd probably be about five minutes late.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

The bell rings and Leela looks around here. Looks like the leech isn't coming today. She thinks in her head and smiles. The teacher starts going over an easy lesson, and Leela sighs before laying her head back down, waiting for something interesting to happen.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

When he got to school, he hopped out of the car and ran to his lesson, opening the door and walking to his seat, mumbling his apology as he sat down. He put his bag on the floor, and got out his textbook before he stared ahead at the front. His tongue ran over his teeth, freeing a small piece of flesh that was stuck there from that girl. He swallowed it quickly, before leaning his elbow on the table and his head on his hand. He found himself staring at Leelas back from time to time.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela chewed on the skin of her lip as he walks in and sits down, trying to ignore the smell, it wasn't as bad as the day before, he smelt almost human. She sighs and sits back up as the teacher motions for her to, and she leans her head back. She sits there and stares at the boring ceiling, her bangs hanging in her face and her braid sitting naturally on her shoulder.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery sat silent the entire lesson, occasionally looking at Leela, but mainly just looking straight ahead and taking notes. When the bell rang for the English lesson to be over and everyone got up, he began to walk towards the door, only to walk straight into someone because he hadn't been paying attention. He stepped back, confused for a second, looking down at the person who he had walked into.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela sighs and looks up at the tall figure. "We have got to stop meeting like this." She says, then gives him a wink and walks away. She didn't feel like being to much of a jerk to him today, so she just made a joke. She catches up with Ricky and they start talking about Harley's birthday part that was coming up.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery let out a small laugh at the werewolf, who was gone before he could even say anything back. He walks to his locker, seeing Leela talking with the guy she was sat with in science the day before. He checks his modern phone for texts, seeing one from Fenton. Father is disappointed in you, he wants to see you today. - Fenton. That didn't sound good at all, and Emery groaned slightly before shoving his phone back in his pocket and shut his locker door.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Yeah, see you later." She says to Ricky as she gets to her locker. She doesn't spare Emery a glance as she pulls her book out of the locker, depositing her other one. She looks in a mirror hanging in her locker to check her hair and she smiles. It was messier than it was this morning, but that's how she liked it. She shuts her locker and walks past Emery, looking at him out of the corner of her eye.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery felt an urge to grab Leela's arm, to say something, but he was trying hard not to look like a freak, and it was quite clear that Leela hated him. But then, if she did, why did she keep looking at him? Why did he keep looking at her? He begins to walk behind her, but lingering a little further back so it didn't look like he was stalking her, when suddenly someone grabs his arm. He turns at the contact, ready to shout something, when he sees that its Tyler, the football captain, who grabbed his arm.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela walks into the classroom and sits down, right back into the spot she had sat earlier. She got bored so she used her hearing to listen to other people's conversations, that is, until she heard that jock and Emery talking. Instantly interested she listened to them, her ears twitching a bit.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

The jock let go of Emerys arm when he turned around, now that he had his attention. "We're giving you a second chance here, princey, if you want to be popular and actually have friends then you'll sit with us at lunch, and not on your own." Tyler says, as a hoard of cheerleaders nod, agreeing with him.


"Its social suicide if you don't sit with us!" Says one of the cheerleaders in her high pitched voice, and her friends, like parrots, repeated her. Emery just looked at them all, blankly. It was a little scary for them, as he just stared at them, and looked back at Tyler. "Unless you want to be a loner... Or worse, be friends with Leela Long." A brunette cheerleader states, and her friends nod in approval.


Emery glares at her and moves away slightly, before looking back at Tyler. "I would much rather commit literal suicide than be friends with you, Tyler." He states, and walks away quickly.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

A low growl emits from Leela's throat when her name is mentioned. I had nothing to do with this, why bring me into it? She asks herself, then sighs and shakes her head. At least Emery wasn't getting involved with those idiots. Wait why do I even care? I don't care. Maybe a little bit, but that's besides the point I've never even talked to those assholes let alone do something wrong. Another sigh escapes her mouth and she slams her head down on the table, a little to hard because everyone turned to look at her.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery walks into the classroom to find everyone looking at Leela, and her head on her desk. His face actually gains expression, albeit confused and only for a second, before he sits down at his desk and gets out his stuff. He rips a page from his journal and scribbles a note on it, while the teacher drones on about some kind of math problem. In neat hand writing it says; 'Dont hit your head too hard.' And he's about to throw it at Leela when he suddenly just scrunches it up and puts it in his pocket. That was a lame note, and she'd probably just carry on hating him anyway.
