My mundane supernatural life
"arggghhh" it's Monday morning. I hate Monday mornings. Its not just that I have to go to school it's the effort of hiding. I don't mean physically I mean I walk around and talk to people. But I am the princess. My dad is king of the werewolfs. He oversees all the the other packs and makes sure that their alfas obey the law. I go to school in Wolverton. Although long ago only werewolfs risided here over the last century humans have moved in too and are completely unaware that we are well different. Thus means keeping our wolfs at bay when not on pack lands. For most of my pack at the school this isn't to hard but for me I'm already suppressing things from them as well. You see I am half vampire and my mum is queen of the vampires. She writes to me all the time and I visit occasionally but its a difficult transition for me so I don't go often. Vampires and werewolfs hate each other so they can't find out that a hybrid (like me) exists. Let alone that I was sired by the Royal head honchos of each. This makes my life hard. For one thing I have to wear Co tact lenses every single damb day. My eyes are purple yep purple (I k ow really f*****g cool), but purple eyes should exist werewolfs either have green or blue eyes (my dad's are blue) vampires eyes are red which left me with purple. At least I figure that's how it worked. I also have to make sure no sees any of my vamoire powers. So speed and strength come with both species neither is automatically faster or stronger but wolfs need to be in wolf form to match a camp, obviously I don't (might be a bit of a give away) I also need a small amount of blood to keep me fully healthy yep this means I have fangs which I keep away most of the time but if I smell blood it's always hard to stop them popping out.
"Arena are you awake" I hear my dad outside my door. "yes I'm up" I reply, "you should be at school in half an hour" he prompts. God you would think I took forever to get ready. I don't by the way. I the privacy of my room I can use all my abilities so with my extra speed in human form I'm ready in 10 minutes, I grab breakfast in my out and head to school.
As I walk through the school gates I can see all the dmstudents greeting their friends as if it has been weeks sinse they saw each other. Most of them probably hung out at the weekend and even if they didn't it's been like 2 days get over it. Not that I ever really go that long long with out seeing my Friends. Their is Chlir and Scott twins of the beta couple then there is jenny daughter to the gamma pair and David who's parent are our two best warriors. Being high ranking pack members we all live in the main pack house which is basically a mantion that we all share. I find them and we head to our first lesson. English lit and we are studying Macbeth. If only they knew What witches were really like. Though my mum says Shakespeare was alright if a tad dramatic. Yes mum is that old, vampire remember. I start feeling the normal pangs of hunger (mum says if I consumed more blood I probably wouldn't get so hungry but I have enough trouble hiding if I drank more my friends would be able to smell it on me. I sneak a. Snack out of my bag but of course get spotted by the ignorant human teacher who starts lecturing me on making sure I have a breakfast as lessons are not the right time to eat. I nod thinking about whether she would feel the same if she knew the possibility of me loosing control and having her for my snack. Lucky for her my dad has been teaching me how to control my urges for as long as I can remember. Most parents start teaching their kids at about 10 in preparation for when they are bale to change at about 14 but dad knew with my vamoiric side I might have more difficulty so started as soon as he could.
The teacher seems to give up as I just sit there earing my snack as if she hadn't said a word, I think she may have tried giving me a detention I wasn't really listening and it's not like I would go anyway. I have teaining after school and I am bit more worried about pissing off my dad than the school. All out parents have really cracked down on our training as over the next 6 months we will al turn 18. 18 is of course an important birthday in the human world as well but for werewolves it when your powers fully mature. Although most wolves can shift from about 14 we can't join the pack link u til we turn 18. It is also when all out powers come to maturity and some fi d unique gifts like a special connection to one of the elements. It is expected that al least some of us will have these as we all have at least one parent with a talent (of course bone them k ow about my mother). At 18 we are also suseptual to the mate bond-I don't want a mate at keast not yet. They say it's like fi ding your missing piece but I really don't thi k there is a piece of me missing thanks. We also age a lot slower after 18. So for werewolves they will age about 1 year every 10 and for dhampiers (that's what the call a human vampire hybrid) is 1 to 5 so I have no idea how this will work for me. Its not like there has been I e before not thats been recorded anyway.
The rest of the day goes pretty fast and pretty much as usual. I just want to got a k to grounds and train I need to work of some of the pent up frustration I get from holding everything back all day. When teai I g is iver and I head up to the quarters I share with my dad he has a serious look on his face. He hands me a letter from my mum. As I read I feel the blood drain from my face. This cannot be happening not now. I was meant to have 2 more months before I turned 18 and had to deal with this s**t.
