Blood Love

Scareville Highschool

Loud knocks had woken me up.I sat groggily and rubbed my eyes.

I slowly got up and realised my nap which I took after coming here turned out to be a very long sleep instead.I shook my head in dismay and slowly went towards the door.In front of the door stood Amora with a old nightgown.

With my sleepy eyes it felt that she looked alot more younger.I rubbed my eyes again and saw that she really did look a bit young , her skin looked a few years younger and her hair was more blonde than white.

"Hurry up kiddo the school starts in 15 minutes"

she said with a boost of energy.Her voice also felt younger

I don't know why but it felt spooky so I decided to remove that thought, she must have gone to some parlour or something I told to myself as I slowly focused on her statement and frowned.School?what?"What are you talking about?" I said.She shook her head and pointed to her watch

"it's 7:45 honey Scareville highschool doesn't like students who arrive late"

She said I looked at her confused and shook my head "oh no I haven't told them about my arrival and I am unprepared"I said.

I was actually planning on starting school next week since I was new and needed to know this place.This was all a mistake but before I could say anything Amora smiled"I told them about your arrival they will be waiting for you" she said.

My eyes widened , she did what? now I have to go? I thought

"But I don't have any books or any-"

"oh no! all you need is a bag,all your books will be given from school including lunch" she said.

My mouth was wide open and I was pretty sure my jaw had hit the ground"now go get ready I have some sandwiches for you" she told and I nodded meekly and closed the door.But before closing the door I saw her going swiftly... which was strange since yesterday she was walking with support.

I slowly went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth,Amora looked much more younger which was kinda weird what if.....I shook the thought of my head before I could finish it.I quickly took a shower and went towards my suitcase and grabbed the nearest top and jeans.Then I took my bag and emptied it before going out.

Today is not gonna be a good day I thought to myself.As I came down I saw Amora wrapping a piece of sandwich."Thanks a lot Amora,you really didn't need to do all of these" I told.I really hope you didn't oldie! I thought to myself,now I had to go to school instead of enjoying my day.

Rolling my eyes internally I took the sandwich while Amora gave me a smile.Not a normal one a wicked grin you can say,I shuddered but said nothing."Straight ahead honey,have a nice day"She spoke.I swear to god she looked alot younger than yesterday,this whole place was giving me vibes.

I nodded my head slowly and walked out of my apartment.Having a sandwich in one hand I started walking,it was chilly and as usual fogged up.What is wrong with this place I thought? I barely saw anyone leaving Amora,I wonder where everyone else is I thought.

I started to my journey and soon got lost in my thoughts untill

I could see a building appearing slowly and some noise,I smiled.Finally some people.I started running maybe because of excitement or that I was late.The school finally came to a view and I frowned a bit

this is not how I expected the school to be.It was a huge building which looked new but it's architecture looked 20 years older and everyone were as quiet as owls and the sound that I thought were of people talking suddenly vanished.

There were only slow whispers as I felt the eyes of all the students upon me I started to walk slowly towards the school.To my shock many people looked pale, where they all sick? Maybe... who knows.I looked at some of them,all were expressionless no one wanting to talk to me.

Weird.... this is really weird.

I then slowly decided to go on my own.Entering the school I looked to my right and saw a corridor and at the end having a door with the words 

'PRINCIPALS ROOM'

Well guess who found the principal's room without help.Smiling internally I descended towards the door.I knocked on several times and then heard a tired audible voice"come in".

As I entered the room in front of the desk sat a pale man.He looked old but was still good looking for his age and he was also remarkably giving me the bad vibes,maybe it's because of the weather I thought and shrugged it off as I went towards him and smiled

"hello sir I am Rose,I am the new student here"

He smiled showing his wrinkles of age,he looked really similar to someone I just was not able to point who.

"Nice to meet you Rose and welcome to the Scareville highschool"

I nodded."Your books are in your locker including the rules ask any student and they will take you to your locker number 226".I nodded meekly again.He gave a smile which gave me chills ,something was very....very wrong,I slowly got up from the chair and left the room in search of students as I was searching I could see many of them abnormally pale .Whats with all the paleness? I thought.

Almost 40% of the students were pale and everyone were expressionless and just staring as if lost.

My heart was beating faster and I had a bad feeling they could hear my hear beating which was impossible.The fear dawned me,how could I be so stupid I came here without any research or history of Scareville.Something told me I just jumped in a lake full of crocodiles.But shoved the thought off I needed someone to help me now.

Gazing across the corridor in search I saw a girl who was looking at me, while the others were also looking at me but with either slight amusement or totally emotionless.

Wait....I also realised all the pale gals and guys were having the amusement face while the normal people were expressionless.Is this all a play I thought? noo....feels too stupid and dumb to do... so I did the next thing.I went to the girl who was looking at me and smiled a little and asked

"Hey I am Rose can you show me my locker226?".

She looked at me with an almost expressionless face but I could still see some shock.Since a kid I always was easily able to read people whether they are lying or what there expression was really telling.

She nodded at me slowly , but said nothing and started to walk forward.As I was following her, out of the corner of the eye I saw one of the pale guys hold one of the girls hand twisting it in an wrong angle while pulling her somewhere else,I gasped but that did not catch anyone's attention as they were too busy staring at nothingness.Little did they know I was seeing them through the reflection of the floor.

Yes,it was tiles... strange school.

But that was not my priority.What caught my eye was how the girl did not scream and how casually the guy just pulled her like it's totally normal.They all just looked soo......broken."This one" Said the girl.We had apparently had reached my locker while I was too busy processing what I saw.

I thought of asking her what happened but she already started walking away.I frowned and slowly opened my locker.And there it was as promised a bunch of books with school supplies,breathing out slowly I checked for the timetable and found it stuck with another piece of paper with bold letters written on it on top as RULES,I slowly took the timetable and the page of rules.

The timetable consisted of 8 classes with 2 recess and one break with is for lunch.Which was ok for me,then I went to the page with rules and read it in my mind.My face slowly turned into shock,frown,fear and many more, because this is what was written:

RULES

-Students are supposed to stay quiet at all times and should only speak when needed.

-Students who are alive are meant to listen to the dead at all times

-Damien is supposed to be respected at all times

-Students are not allowed to leave there houses after 7pm

-During the ceremony one should make no noise

-No contacting anyone who are outside Scareville

-No running away from here

Students who do not follow these rules will face the consequences

What the hell? Is this some joke I thought in my mind.My hands were shaking now,what did they mean by alive?Oh dear now I was getting scared and my fear was felt by people I could feel it.

I turned slowly turned looking at the students some where expressionless while some smirked or should I say only the pale ones.Realisation dawned me as I turned totally numb,no one paid me attention much.

Which was good,since I was still lost in my world this was all confusing and the drivers words kept running in my mind... "My people say that whoever enters Scareville never leaves the place ever again and... They also say that there are monsters seeking in the dark".

What he had said was not the same but those were rumours and rumours were always twisted.I should have stayed I thought , in my home better than this...or it all felt same.I always knew that myths were twisted but amongst them lived the thruth,but I never expected myself to face them and I was happy... but now I wasn't so sure.

My whole body turned hollow as I realised I just walked in a trap how could I have been so stupid? The girl behind had just got her arm twisting and she did not even cry.Oh god what is this place...

and while I was busy thinking, the bells rang indicating that the first period started.

I was going to get out of this mess I thought I got out once I could do it again.

But now I needed to attend the class so it didn't look any fishy.I looked at my timetable and checked that chemistry was the first period.Ok at least they had normal subjects I thought to myself as I quickly started running in the corridor,I soon found the door with 'chem' written on top it.I slowly went inside thinking everyone will be staring at me just like in the corridor but to my surprise they were all busy at there own world staring at the nothing ness.

I released my breath the chemistry room had a table for two for everyone , I looked and found a empty table so hoping that today was a odd number I started walking towards the only empty table but soon stopped as I felt a presence in my back,shivering uncontrollably I realised that everyone were looking at me but then realised that they were not looking at me.

They were looking behind my back.

My heart was beating quicker as I slowly turned to look at the presence.In front of me now stood probably the most beautiful person I have ever seen,I was unable to do anything rather than look at him.He had the most beautiful golden eyes with the perfect lips.

He had the perfect chiseled jaws with the perfect body even his paleness did not lessen his beauty.While I was checking him out in a daze I realised he was also looking at me.

His gaze intense,our eyes locked and for a second and everything was gone the class,the students,everything gone.And then he spoke the one word that got me back to reality

"Move"

he said and I got out of my daze and quickly moved to the empty table.

I slowly sat down at the corner hoping he wouldn't come in my table and luckily he did not Phew! I thought in my head but later did I realise that he sat just behind my table.My breath hitched.He sat with another guy pale just like him and also irresistibly handsome but apparently that did not bother me god knows why.

I was getting crazy! that's the only answer I thought internally whoever the dude was who sat behind me was different than the others I could feel it.

They started talking in another language which felt ancient and unrecognisable.I tensed I really needed to get out of this I thought internally.The teacher soon came and guess what? even he was pale.

Were they infected I thought

"Good morning"

he said not addressing me as a new student or anything which I am happy he did not cause the last thing I need is everyone's eyes on me.He started teaching and to my surprise the syllabus was good no reason the school was on one of the best schools in the world.

But I wasn't able to focus on his words my mind was too busy on dreaming about the boy who was behind my back and as if on queue I felt a cold hand on my hair.

I got conscious but did nothing I felt the teacher's gaze on me and probably the dude behind me but he said nothing.My jaws dropped and my eyes popped, internally of course.How could he not say anything?

My mind was running with thoughts as I slowly felt his hands twirling my hair slowly.

I froze I knew I should move away but I did not.I stayed like an idiot.I felt his hands moving in my hair.I felt goosebumps on my skin and I could feel he knew what he was doing to me.I thought of moving and I tried to also but was not able to at the end I thought internally to just leave it.He probably does that to everyone and maybe is just bored.

Shrugging it off I decided to focus on the teacher but was not able to.My day couldn't get any better!

Note the sarcasm.

I felt his hands slowly coming to my neck and stopped at the nape of my neck.My breath hitched again I felt him tap over there twice or thrice as I felt him whisper something to the guy on his other side.

I dared not to look back as I sat still like a fool.His fingers were still on my throat and then slowly they moved to my collarbone massaging it.It felt good and almost wanted to tell the dude to later give me a shoulder massage but stopped myself seriously what is wrong with me.

He might be a Playboy just like how all the schools have one I thought,But this is not other schools a small part of my brain shouted.Now I was trying my best to control this feeling he was giving me.His hands were moving to my hair and my collarbone and apparently the side of my neck god knows why.

Every once in a while I could feel him tapping at the nape of my neck twice and then he would move back again.

This t*****e went on untill the bell rang,I was the first one to get out of the class as I quickly walked to my next class which was maths my nightmare!!!

But luckily he was not there...wow I don't even know his name great!.After that the time seem to went quickly in the recess I was in next to my locker and in all of my classes "he" was not there.

Untill my talent class which had music today.

It went like this,I went to the class thinking he would not be here also, but my heart came to my throat when I saw him sitting in the front bench.He looked at me again and our eyes locked but I quickly averted my eyes quickly this time and went to sit in a random bench far away from him.As I looked at my surroundings I quickly realised that most of the people here were pale.

Another thing I had found out was that many pale boys or girls pull people in washroom and come out later as if nothing happened.Ok so I know when people make out like that but that did not feel like make out.

The pale ones go in the washroom with a energy and come out with a energy which gives you a chill while the emotionless people enter emotionless and leave like that.And I still remembered the rules it felt as if they were printed in my brain.

Dead,alive and all other words were coming randomly in my head while I was trying my best to understand what they really meant.Soon the teacher came who was also pale amd spoke

"ok students , new song it's an r&b and contemporary song named as Honey moon Avenue"

Really?? I stoped my urge to c***k up. The world's most spooky school has Ariana Grande songs??.This place just keeps surprising me."Who all know this song?"He inquired many people raised there hand.Wow they hear songs,and so do I so even I raised my hand.The teacher's gaze fell on me as he said"Ok let the new kid sing it,first" he said and went to play the karoke.

Ok wrong move why did I have to raise my hand? I thought but stood I mean I do sing songs and I want to be a singer so why not? I slowly got up and went to the center of the room I felt everyone's eyes on me.I took a deep breathe and waited for the karoke to start.

To be honest this is one of my favourite songs so I started just like how Ariana started with the vocals.And then the words came and I also started

"I looked at my at my rear view mirror and it seemed to make a lot more sense than what I see a ahead of us"

I sang with ease slow and steady.My voice matched her and I was easily able to hit the high notes,I always loved songs and always sang them so yes it was easy.

"I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper to bumper, traffic am under pressure cause I can't have you the way I want can we just go the way it was,when we were on honeymoon Avenue, honeymoon Avenue,yea baby"

and I went on.As I was over I smiled and looked at the teacher.He smiled a fake one and said "good haven't seen a one like you in years" he said as I smiled and went to my chair as he started explain the vocals.This was probably one of the classes I was actually paying attention.I realised many liked my song because they all had a face of awe even the expression less and the pale ones.

I smiled internally I was happy that they liked my song I mean this is gonna be my last song they can hear because I am leaving Scareville tonight.

No way I am staying here.The class got over and I realised that it was lunch time as I walked out I could feel his gaze on me and while leaving I overheard one of his friends calling him out"Damien let's go"And I left in surprise his name is Damien wait a minute......WAIT WHAT?!
