MIXED

Chapter 2

In the dimly lit classrooom, the atmosphere remained tense, the erratic beating of Walter's heart could be heard if one listened closely. He was freaking out! “it must be a dream…it’s a dream I’ll wake up any moment now” he kept reassuring himself as fear took over his whole self, to managed to turned his neck hoping to see the reactions of the other students but surprisingly they were calm. Who would be calm in this kind of situation?! The students here weren't normal

The classroom had completely changed from it’s joyful atmosphere just a while ago, to a very serious one. Corbin gale, the son of the vice President, was the first to act. Since no one acted he decided he would go first…like the natural born leader he thought he was. This was the first test they had to face in the school. It was like a tradition, all students that passed through the school had experienced something like this. His brother had passed the test and his was no different. The sound of bones cracking broke the still silence, Corbin’s neck shifted in strange positions as his facial expression got more savage. Hairs rapidly grew around his body developing into fur, his face gradually took a wolf like shape with and his body got bigger and bigger toll he reached about 7ft “awooooo” with his face up to the ceiling, Corbin released a deafening howl, power coursing through his entire body, he was brimming with strength! Strangely, an unexplained hatred for miss Handel arose deep inside him, his eyes gradually turned blood red. Anger! Anger was the only thing his mind could think of, even his other vampire classmates angered him the same. This anger wasn’t exclusive to Corbin, the others who had transformed too felt the same but were strong enough to suppress it. The ultimate goal at the moment was to survive not fight.

Seeing another beastial transformation right in front of him, Walter’s eyes rolled up and he fainted out of shock, his skinny frame plastering the class grounds. Following Corbin's lead, the others in the class underwent their different transformations, a girl sitting right beside Walter appeared to have fainted too but a few seconds later the shadows around seemed to surround her and she levitated. Her being was revealed bearing a resemblance to that of miss Handel, but a difference could be seen. The others looked at her, they were familiar with this type of transformation. Only those belonging to the dreykov family could transform that way.

Howls and growls sounded everywhere for minutes until they died down, the werewolves and vampires all stared miss Handel…it was time. Miss Handel lips curled up followed by a slight breeze, she disappeared into the shadows. The students all stood at already, an attack could come anytime soon. A werewolf standing at the back of the class looked around, he had heard of this famous test from his elder sister and with the info he gathered, to pass the test he just had to survive 10minutes with no injuries to his body. Failure to pass the test was an automatic expulsion, “this is gonna be really eaz-“ suddenly his train of thought was stopped as he screamed…he had been attacked! The others looked at the boy and five bold marks on his chest greeted their sights. “aaahhh” another scream came from another direction, a girl this time. They were being picked off one by one! The screams continued for a little while then they stopped.

There were only ten of them remaining now “everyone form a circle, we can’t just stand around like this!” The girl that was levitating earlier spoke up, it was only about 4mins remaining, they had to survive without a scratch. The student formed a circle and they waited. Suddenly a hand came in Corbin’s direction, with cat like reflexes he dodged the hand, remaining on guard. A fat boy beside him faced the same attack but his eyes immediately glowed and his fur wrapped around him forming an impenetrable shield. Different attacks from all over came at the students but they guarded, avoiding any injuries.

Four minutes passed and they remained nine of them, suddenly miss Handel appeared at the position she stood before she transformed. She picked up a ball that lay on the table with a c***k in between and a button on it, it seemed to be beeping. The sound of a button being pressed was strangely very loud kn the silence. Fooling that the darkness in the classroom left and day returned, the students reverted to their human forms and the stench of blood filled the air. Groans of pain came from the fallen with various injuries on their bodies , they seemed like soldier who went to war and came back gravely wounded. Unfortunately for them, they had failed to pass the test.

Miss Handel adjusted her glasses and analysed the damage she had caused “hmmm…nine out of twenty two passed…fair” she spoke as she wrote something on a small notebook. It was at this moment that Walter recovered from his fainted state, opening his eyes, his vision was died red…blood red! “aaahh” in a quick motion he quickly got on his feet. The scream attracted the attention of miss Handel “what? There’s still someone screaming?” she thought and was surprised to see it was Walter, come to think of it…it was like he had disappeared when she started the test. He didnt seem to have any injuries on his body so she took it that he passed “alright that’s ten out of twenty two, good. Now take your seats, I’ll be back” Walter watched in a daze as miss Handel left and the solemn looks in the classroom showed that something terrible had happened. Students were on the floor with open flesh, writhing in pain with blood all over their bodies. “oh my go-” he couldn’t even complete a sentence before he blacked out and collapsed on the floor.
