Littles Academy

Chapter Two: The Littles.

Austin POV.

The world is a messed up place, it’s cold, harsh, and unforgivable. We live in a jungle, the survival for the strongest and that’s definitely not me, I’m nothing but a weak human, I live with my mother, she’s drunk most of the times and doesn’t really like me. I also work in a club, I’m an exotic dancer, my body is very petit, my blond hair is chin-length and my eyes are green. Most call me pretty maybe a little feminine but pretty non the less it helps me to pay the bills and stay alive.

I’m only sixteen, my birthday was last month on March the sixth, the name is Austin and that’s about everything about me. Last month I took my test, it was weird to be touched by vampires, they were surprisingly nice, guided me to a sterilized room then everything went dark. It was like I saw a dream, a weird one where I was young once again except this time there was no abusive mother or a missing father. In this dream I saw a guy with dark black hair and matching black eyes, he looked like a giant from my angel but a nice giant who smiled sweetly at me before rocking me back to sleep calling me his little boy.

When I woke up everyone was nice to me they didn’t mind that I don’t speak much or that I just nod my head when they asked a question. I was even driven home while no other person was driven back but I wasn’t about to refuse a free ride, god forbids my drunk mother would drive me. She’d probably kill us both so I’m safer walking even if it took me thirty minutes to reach the testing center, why do we even take this test is above me but better then being dead.

I got so busy rambling that I’m gonna be late for work, I can’t afford to be late or getting fired, I need the money or I’ll starve that if my mother doesn’t kill me first. Gods know she needs her boos to stay sane or as sane as possible. I don’t bother getting dressed I’ll be changing in the club to almost nothing soon, I’m wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt along with some ripped jeans, I throw on my one and only jacket and I’m ready to go. I’m not dressed for the weather properly but that’s all I got, we have winter almost all year long, some says we are going through a new ice age others suggest it was vampires doing since they can’t walk in the sun.

I start my walk toward the club, I’m fast walking to get there faster, and to stay warm, got to stay creative in desperate times. I walk in nodding to everyone, I don’t talk, I can I just don’t like to, heading straight to my changing room, my costume is a dress of sheer material that hardly covers anything. The thing I wasn’t expecting when I walked in was to see two giant guys, not guys, not people or humans, Vampires. They are much taller than normal humans and their prominent white fangs can only mean one thing. I stood there scared shitless of them, are they here to kill me? To kidnap me and ask for cause if they are my mother wouldn’t pay a penny to get me back her alcohol is more important.

“Hello little guy,” one of the two guys says and I take a step back.

“No need to be scared of us,” the other says in a kind voice.

I just whimper and take another step back not liking where this is going, they are fast much faster than me, I was suddenly grabbed and carried out. I fought, cried, screamed but no one dared to even get close to me not with those two holdings me. We headed to a black SUV car one of my captors opened the door while the others sat inside taking me with him. I tried to fight him, tried to get out or scream for help but my captor smiled and held me tight, I was even wrapped with a blanket restricting my arm movement. I wish I could say I got away and ran away from the two guys that I gave them hell the whole way there but then I would be a liar. I was warm in the blanket warmer than I felt in a very long time and just fell asleep feeling safe in the arms of two vampires’ strangers who could kill me any minute now.

When I woke up I was in a strange room, we must have reached our destination sometime while I napped, I looked up to see one of my kidnapers he smiled at me warmly.

“Ready to meet your Daddy,” he asked.

Rosalia POV.

I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself, I didn’t like what I see, I felt fat, my mother, friends, and doctor disagree saying I’m under-weight but I don’t feel like it. I just don’t like food, I don’t like gaining weight and most of all I hate the way people look at me. They don’t call me names, I’m not someone to be messed with, I’m the school queen bee. I’m a popular, straight-A student, and even an athlete. But most of all I’m tired, exhausted to be precise, it’s taking everything inside me to be someone who I don’t even like. My mother says she’s proud of me, my barely their father always shows off with his only daughter being the perfect girl anyone wants. But have they ever bothered to ask me what’s wrong? Or if I’m doing okay? Am I even happy? The answer is no to all the above I don’t feel okay, I’m not happy at all, last night when I couldn’t sleep I did an online quiz to see how depressed I am and they had the audacity to call me suicidal! If I dare to suicide my father would do the impossible to bring me back to life so he can kill me, no daughter of his would do such an action, he’s too good for that.

I’m sixteen and a full month, my birthday was on March the sixth, a big party was thrown for me, I hid in the corner most of it, I was so excited about the cake, It’s okay if I got fat from chocolate cake, it’s chocolate but my mother ordered a plain vanilla one that I only got a small piece of. I threw it away in the trash, I also had to go to a testing center, thankfully the vampires didn’t allow my father or mother to come in with me. I was relieved when I knew I’m gonna be alone, I asked what the test is for and what they going to do but the doctor wouldn’t tell me. Then I saw him bring a big syringe and I screamed, we fought, I screamed some more got pinned down and the shot was injected into my bloodstream making everything goes black.

I woke up grumpy, I’m always grumpy when I first wake up, and seeing the same person who gave me an injection made me even grumpier and wanting to fight even more. Sadly I didn’t have much strength and simply went home, when my parent asked about the testing, I lied and said it all went great with no troubles.

“Rosalia time for school” I heard my mother yell, it’s not that school is so important for her it’s just that got pregnant with me before her senior year and never got to live her own high school experience.

Her high school lover ditched her and so she ended up in an arranged marriage with my father, she’s living her dream through me, never letting me forget that I was a mistake, nothing else, suddenly I lost my appetite again.

“Bye mum,” I said putting my coat on and leaving the house, it’s a short walk to the school and the cold air helped my mood. Reaching the school I take a deep breath preparing myself for another day of this hell, deep breath stone face, and in I go.

I met my friends at my locker as we usually do, we exchanged fake hellos and hugs, yeah I missed you so much, not. We moved to the first period that’s biology, my least favorite subject, in fact, I hate Biology, but I have to keep my straight As so I can become a doctor like my father.

The day passed slowly, dragging one minute after the other, I just wanted to go home and draw, my real passion is art. But drawing silly pics won’t get me a proper job, my mother's words, not mine, it would get me a happy life.

At lunch I sat with Justin and the rest of the gang, Justin is my “boyfriend”, he’s the captain of the football team, he comes from a well-known family of lawyers, and someone with a great future ahead of them. In other words, he’s everything I hate in a boyfriend but he still pleases my family.

“Hey baby,” he said kissing my mouth, I closed my lips shut, I hate when he kisses me, he’s been trying to get to sleep with him but I’m not ready to lose my V-cart to him.

He sat close to me while I tried to get away from him, he snaked his hand around me making me crazy. I don’t eat at lunch, I just nib on some carrot sticks while the rest eat and chat, I just sat there waiting for the time to pass.

When finally the bell rang and it was time to leave I couldn’t be happier, I don’t walk straight home that’s another nightmare instead I take a long walk through the park. I kept walking but I felt like I was being followed, I don’t turn back and I don’t look behind me I just keep walking hoping I’m mistaking.

I kept walking until I felt strong hands around me pulling me off the ground and dragging me somewhere. I throw my head back, punching the kidnapper's face, he let me go, I use my elbow to punch him in the chest before I take off running.

My escaping plan didn’t last long since I was caught yet again only this time my kidnappers took his precautions, something covered my face, I tried not to breathe it in to hold my breath and fight but I didn’t last long before everything went black.

The next time I woke up it was to find myself in a strange room it was all white and smelled like a hospital room. I looked to see the face of my kidnapper for the first time, a vampire.

“Had a nice nap little fighter?” he teased me, I was speechless.

“I think she’s ready to meet her daddy too,” he told someone else in the room, meet my daddy? What does my father have to do with any of this?
