Far over the villages and into the large mountains is a school that rests on the side of the road covered in trees and a canopy that drapes the school, there is a group of students unknown to the human world, this school holds thousands of vampire and halflings in the school. The vampires and halflings share everything but the uniform rank and the dorms they sleep in.

 

It's a way to train these students to be the best they can be no mater what. This is a story of two boys that find themselves in a pickle.

 

------------------

 

Skye a soft blood with mismatched eyes was on his way to a school his parents informed him that he would fit in much better then in a school where others looked upon him like a freak. Skye bit his lip in the buss holding his backs close to him, he felt his body tingle as he crossed the threshold of the human village and headed up the mountain. The buss suddenly stopped right outside the gates and looked back to Skye.

"this your exit kid? I gotta go back into to town" Skye nodded and rubbed the back of his head grabbing his 3 bags and stepped off the bus, the buss quickly did a u-turn and left Skye standing there at the gate.

 

Once the bus was out of sight the gate opened and Skye entered, as his paper stated he softly called out his own name "Skye Dragos" a woman appeared she was clearly a halfling and was even marked on he outfit. "welcome Skye Dragos please follow me" Skye nodded and followed her as Skye was followed the lady right threw the middle of the soccer field and blinked feeling like everyone was staring at him as he arrived in the middle of the first nights class.

[firebird]

Honey brown eyes looked up from the fine print text before him having been distracted by the sensing of a new presence. While he wasn't entirely interested in whoever was up front, he was slightly intrigued. A school such as Sundown Academy didn't get new students very often so this one would be the 'talk' on campus at least for a couple weeks.

 

In his line of vision stood a boy, a half-ling by the looks of it. He wasn't prejudiced against them as most were but he then again he didn't show much emotion towards anything -or -one for that matter- on a whole.

 

He listened as his teacher introduced the boy.

"Listen up class this is Skye Dragos, obviously a new student here. Treat him well."

There was a not too quiet chorus of murmurs among the students. Some rudely stared at him while others went back to minding their own businesses. "Gale," the teacher called. The honey-eyed raven looked up. "Yes?"

"I want you to look after Mr. Dragos here. If its not too much trouble" He added somewhat rudely.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he closed his book completely and put it on his desk as the teacher motioned Skye to the seat beside him.

He grunted his reply. "Very well...I suppose it won't be too much trouble."

[Veil]

Skye followed the hand to the seat, though Skye was raised by humans he was fully aware of his vampire heritage his eyes bared fruit to the obvious two type blood that ran through his veins, one green one blue. Skye quietly sat in his chair turning to the man known as gale as he bit his lip. "U-um you don't seem like you care to help...if it's alright with you I um prefer to figure things out for myself, but if you wish to share your knowledge I will be thankful" Skye added as he turned back to face the front clearly he still had his clothing bag his school bag and his bathroom bag all with him he clung to them tightly wanting to be invisible like he usually was.

 

Skye felt himself become the attention as some girls approached and grabbed arm." Skye was it? Well aren't you just cute, too bad your not a full breed vampire like Gale he's hot and got the blood line of the gods" Skye blink and leaned on his palm almost switching the personality he had recently gave out. "Do you really think I care? I am here to learn I could care less about the social standings you all seem to follow, so how about you go back to your seat and leave me be hmm?"

[firebird]

Head turned towards the window, he didn't dignify Skye's rather accurate statement with a reply. Instead he watched with amusement as the other told off the nosy girls. Hmph, full time someone put those lowly wenches in their place.

 

He turned to face to star struck girls, deeming it necessary to speak. "You heard the man...go away" Despite the harsh words, his voice remained monotonous and his was quite sure that he made their day by talking to them.There was no point in even trying to be mean to them.

 

Gale focused his attention on the new student. One moment he was cute and blushing and the next he was putting nosy women down. Intriguing

"Skye, was it?...It's no problem to help you out. So far you seem to be the only thing in this school that doesn't annoy me"

Getting up, he slung his bag over his shoulder just as the bell rang. "Well come on then...i'll walk you to your next class"

[Veil]

"Oh sure it's whatever I don't mind nor care what you do" Skye rose grabbing his bags and held them over arms he let out a sigh and followed behind the man every one called Gale, " hey um gale, why do these girls stare at you with such list liked eyes, what are you to these wolves?" Skye asked speaking somewhat rudely as he glanced back to gale his look almost angry but at the same time he just looked away and acted like he listened.

[firebird]

Wolves... He was almost tempted to chuckle but held himself back. Doing something like that would ruin the image he had as being unapproachable and those Wolves as Skye had so eloquently put it would take that as a sign that he was theirs for the taking. So no, ruing the reputation he had taken years to build was out of the question.

 

Instead he smirked at the other as he led the way to class.

"To be honest I have no idea why they are so enthralled by me. Yes I am from nobility...strong but majority of the school is. So its really a matter I have no control over seeing as I can't even begin to comprehend it in the first place."

 

He sighed as they reached their next class. "Well this is it newbie.." .He settled down into his usual seat and awaited the teacher's arrival. Before he moved off though, he lowered is voice so that only Skye would hear him- there was no need for those obsessive girls to hear that little piece of information. If anything...it would be hazardous to Skye's health. "After class...i'll take you to your room...our room. There was a plausible reason why our teacher asked me of all people to help you...i'm your roomie."

[Veil]

Skye raised his brow softly and gale explained his nobility and blinked softly. the Reese family huh..maybe I can use this to my advantage... Skye said as he walked passed gale's stopped hand and looked about the room sitting down and run his hand threw his hair then sat his bags down and sat to down in the desk beside gale.

 

"So how,are you so sure of my class schedule I mean not even I know my schedule and I just got here." Skye asked curiously as his eyes flowed across the room doing his normal habit of scanning the room for cameras and dangers that could be hazardous. " um gale... My parents said there's a human teacher here that helps the half breeds is that true?" Skye said leaning over to look at gale.

 

Skye glanced at gale actually taking in the sight softly smirking to himself as he tilted head as a few girls entered the room flocking to their chairs as they began to gossip loudly Skye just sighed and leaned on his palm.

[firebird]

"The answer to that is quite easy. I was told that I was getting a roommate...for the first time ever might I add so they sent your class schedule along with your package consisting of school rules and whatnot to our room, I peeked at it and it just so happened that our classes are mostly the same"

He watched as the other's eyes scanned the room warily. "Hmm..I have heard a rumor of such a teacher but I haven't had the priviledge meeting him or her myself. If it is true that is.

 

He signed in relief as their teacher came into the classroom. At least now those wolves will shut up.

Throughout the class, he constantly glanced at Skye. The other's aura was simply refreshing.Like cool mint on an equally cool day or perhaps the smell of snow would be more fitting.

He was starting to become a little more than intrigued.

[Veil]

As the teacher entered the room went silent the aurora of the teacher seemed strong as Skye let out a gently sigh biting his lip As his eyes drifted over to Gale. my roommate is a full blood prince and a vampire and pretty handsome.. I wonder if he has interest in girls or guys... Skye looked at the teacher and tried paying attention. He was handed a book for class curiously he wondered when the class would end and when he would get to be in his room.

 

Skye wrote a note Gale, perhaps you could show me around the campus? I'd like to get to know where everything is if that is possible Skye sighed it in human like cursive and leaned on his palm softly passing it over to Gale as fast as he could without making any noises.

[firebird]

His ear twitched slightly at the sound of the point of Skye's pen against paper. He turned around to face the other, just in time to take the as discreetly as possible.

He wrote back: No problem. Meet me by the oak tree in the front of the school yard. We have different classes for the rest of today so be sure to be on time.

 

He sent the paper back to Skye and went back to staring out the window. There was really no need for him to pay attention to the theory of continental drift seeing as he was alive when it was happening. And the monotonous way she was teaching made it hard for even him to pay attention.

[Veil]

Looking at the note Skye folded it into his pocket writing a new note biting his lip. gale, would it be wrong if I asked you to take me to my next classes or perhaps where I can get to them... How many more must I endure before I have permission to rest... Skye quickly passed the note and glanced at the door chewing at his lip curiously wondering when the boring lecture would end.

 

Skye looked over at gale to see his head looking the other way as he somewhat stared till his attention was pulled away by the bell from the room Skye quickly got up grabbing his things and looking over at gale. "I hate to be an annoyance, but would you care to read that note."

[firebird]

More than aware that a new note had been passed his way, he kept staring out the window just to see the reaction the little spitfire newbie would give him.

I hate to be an annoyance, but would you care to read that note?

And sure enough he wasn't disappointed.

 

"Not really"

He took up his back and stood from his seat. "...come on, you have a class to get to. I however, have a free period"

He walked ahead of his apparent charge, taking the other to his next class.

 

Arriving at the door, he stepped aside allowing the other space to pass through.

"I'll be back when class is over to get you...we'll go lunch and then i'll take you back to the dorm, ok?

[Veil]

Skye turned his head and walked behind gale as he was lead to his class people watching and point as Skye was obviously different due to his eyes, though he had suspicions that his mother who claimed she was all human must of been a halfling making him only that much more of a full blood vampire with only a tiny bit of human, which would make sense that he would share a dorm with the full blooded prince since he was told halflings were not allowed to live with full bloods.

 

Skye walked into his class and shrugged. "Yeah sure, I will join the highness for lunch" Skye bowed jokingly looking up with a smirk as he walked into his class and sat down in the far back by the window, smirking to himself wondering how his faced looked.

[firebird]

He rolled his eyes at the last comment as he walked off to his next class.

 

Arriving early as usual, he took his usual seat by the window and counted to ten slowly. And just as he had expected, by the time he arrived at ten his desk was met by a rather abrasive force crashing into it. Without looking at who it was, he could already tell. "Such a pleasure to see you lord Reese" a regal sounding female voice sang out.

 

He sighed mentally. This girl never learns, does she? "Ah, princess Maya, how nice to see you. And please, Lord Reese is my father"

She huffed indignantly and plopped herself on top of his desk, her short skirt riding up indecently. It was her daily ritual of trying to get Gale into her pants but as usual he didn't pay her the slightest mind. "What a poor welcome for your soon-to-be queen. Remember Lord Gale that your family serves mine."

 

He sat back in his chair lazily, though he looked graceful all the same. "You never let me forget"

She pouted, "Then why won't you go out with me?" she asked in that ever whiny voice.

"We have been over this a million times before. My family serves yours, but I personally have no interest in you whatsoever"

 

And as usual she stalked off angrily as the teacher walked in. Shaking his head he went back to staring out the window looking down at the tree that he would meet Skye under in moments to come.

 

As soon as the bell rang he was out of his class, uncaring as to whether or not he teacher had given homework. But seeing as he was out so early, he went by Skye's class to pick him up instead of having him meet him by the tree. The new student would've gotten lost anyway so his anxiousness had just worked in his favor.

[Veil]

Taking notes and becoming the center of attention around the people who noticed Skye's eyes and the soft delicate skin the pathed way to his obvious heritage of being a halfling, but as Skye waited he looked to the door seeing that some students were leaving class. The teacher called attention to the class and announced an early out.

 

Skye smiled softly when he rose grabbing his gear seeing Gale right out side the door Skye walked over and looked at him. "Couldn't stand being apart from me gale?" He said walking back him glancing back curiously wondering as to why Gale met him at class but rather then asking he waited for gale to take the lead.

[firebird]

He smirked and snorted at Skye's playful assumption. "Usually it's the other way around. And I just got out early so I thought that i'd be a nice guy and come get you before you end up getting lost or something along those lines "

He continued walking ahead of the other, heading towards their room.

 

Kicking open the door he threw his bag to his bed and plopped down beside it. Inside was very generously decorated without being gaudy or generally overdone. The beds were a decent size and the deep reds and navy blues accented the black of the heavy draperies. He spread out his arms in what he guessed to be a welcoming manner. "Welcome young one, to your new room" Pointing to the bed in the corner, he motioned for Skye to have a seat there. "That's obviously your bed and as long as you're not a slob I think we'll get along just fine."

 

Really looking into his eyes for the first time since Skye got there, he found them to be quite beautiful and there weren't many halflings he knew that had such beautiful dual coloured eyes. As a matter of fact, most halflings were born a bit handicapped in the vampire world. They tended to have human speed or something along those lines but for Skye it was different. His aura read him up to be a worthy opponent.

"Tell me Skye Dragos.... about your history. You're not like most half lings. Heck, you wouldn't be in my room if you were, so explain your heritage to me"

[Veil]

Walking in softly skye set his stuff on the bed and sat down looking at Gale. "Well, I'm fairly organized I hope there is room for my clothes for weekends though I assume we won't get to go into town." Skye glanced up and grabbed his clothing back and unzip posed the back pulling out a clock and a soft pillow case and lightly set his fee one to the side and glanced at the bed feeling the fabric. my god...being a pure blood gets you all the finer things in life..

 

His attention was called back as he looked up back up at gale answering his question. "My parents say that I'm a half human half vampire equally split 50/50" he explained and sighed " but according to what I'm slowly figuring out is that I'm in a pure bloods room...everyone else has a handicap or a small scar or birthmark but my eyes clearly show something...so I'm thinking I'm perhaps more vampire then human." He said lifting his hand to his face. The blue and green eyes go from gale to the floor.

 

" I am so much more different then everyone here...I don't seem to belong anywhere but home" he said though he wanted to belong everyone he wanted to be socially acceptable but he would need a friend so,done who can make him seem normal make everyone act like he's just like everyone else.. That was his darkest wish that he held deep inside himself.

[firebird]

"Hmm...I see." Making note of the distant look in the other's eyes, he stood up from his bed and went across the room to where the door to his private bathroom was. Opening said door, he held it open for it catch Skye's attention. "This is our bathroom by the way. Every room on this floor has one. So we don't have to rush to the showers in the morning or whenever you chose to have one." It was his attempt at getting the little half-ling's mind off of the depressing thoughts swirling in his head. Hopefully, he was somewhat successful.

 

Clapping softly in an alerting manner rather than an applauding one, he held his hand out to the newbie to lead him out of the room. "Well seeing as your bags are in here now, Come...let me take you on a tour of the campus...my way"

[Veil]

Glancing at the door that opened Skye's attention was pulled from the depths of spacing out and blink curiously as the bathroom looked so expensive he literally had his jaw drop as he stand at the gold and white among the bathroom walls and shower trim. " it's huge and pretty"Skye spoke softly and mumbled and looked to the side in an attempt to not just stare in awe.

 

His gaze was guided to the rather large clap that made him blink as he glanced at gale and rose from the bed." Sure I suppose if I say no to a prince you might throw a tantrum" he stated joking again he walked passed Gale quickly inhaling the scent that made him alluring. He bit his lip and released it as he faced Gale. " well shall we go sir?" He stated closing his eyes and placed his hand on his chest taking a careful bow much like a butler in a joking manor. The blood hair dropped forward over his face.

[firebird]

A soft chuckle escaped his lips at the other's antics. The thought of him throwing a tantrum was absurd. He blinked afterwards, suprised at himself. Clearing his throat he looked around just to make sure no one heard that foreign sound leaving his person before he continued walking.

 

"Now seeing as how big this place is, there are some places that I won't show you now. You'll just have to learn them as time goes by it's better for you that way anyway." He hid an amused smirk. "You'd probably forget then and get lost anyway" Playfully mocking the half ling just as he had to him, he draped an arm over his shoulders and spoke in an Old English accent. "Well lovely little one, if I am the king, I can't have such a fine young, maiden such as yourself bow to me, now can I? It would be a dreadful spear through my noble heart." Biting back a laugh, he led the other down the hallways, uncaring of the surprising looks he got. It was a rare sight to see him look so care free. He smirked inwardly, 'Keep them on their toes' his father always said.

 

Having toured the the building ,both the new and old parts, he led Skye to one of his favourite places--the oldest library in the school. So old that it was rarely ever visited -by people other than him that is- but was kept in good condition by the hands of their ever diligent auxiliary staff. It was also the largest library in the school and unsurprisingly the most informative but since the creation of the internet it went unused for its intended purposes.

 

Finally taking his arm from around the blond's shoulders, he stood in the centre of the room and bowed before Skye. "Milady...your castle"

[Veil]

glaring at being called a lady as an arm was soon draped across his shoulders he looked at gale only to hear as students passed by the two that Skye was lucky to be treated so well or how random it was to see Gale so happy with another vampire though these were folks who skye did know know and clearly didnt share a class with.

 

the old rooms looked amazing and the new looked so peace filled and romantic it soothed him as it put his mind in a homely ease. before he knew it he was in a library and his eyes grew wide as the ancient looking archives lay largely with gorgeous wood colors and a wonderfully way to display books of vast knowledge.

 

the very much stunned skye was pulled back to his uncontrolled awe to Gale's comment as he looked at him. "What ever helps you sleep at night" he said jokingly as he ran over to Gale hugging him. "Was i that readable? how did you know that i enjoyed history archives?"

[firebird]

A bit surprised by the other suddenly hugging him, he lightly rested his hand on his back. "I didn't. I just really love this place and the fact that you love it too makes me very happy." He looked into the other's heterochromatic eyes much longer than necessary, once again finding himself to be enthralled by them. "Beautiful", he whispered out purely on impulse. He allowed his hand to touch the other's cheek briefly before the soft touch to Skye's warm skin jolted him out of his daze. Upon realising that he was being far too familiar with the half ling, he cleared his throat and moved over to one of of the bookshelves. "B-but ah, seeing as you like in here I suppose I could share my secret little spot w-with you". He mentally berated himself for stuttering; an act which he didn't know he was capable of.

 

"i haven't shown you the dining hall yet...you must be hungry" With that said he went ahead of Skye leading him to the dining hall.

Pushing open the double doors that led into their destination, he led Skye over to the non-existent line. Seeing as the majority of the students were full vampires, human food wasn't very necessary but the Hall was provided for the few half lings that attended their school and could actually stand human food. "Go on and take a pick at anything you want...don't worry i'll take care of it" Spotting a few of the girls and boys in the cafeteria watching Skye with hungry eyes, he allowed his aura to cover the cute blond underneath it, a sign that he was off limits. He didn't know why he did it. The only thing he did know was that he didn't appreciate some of those looks sent at his friend.

[Veil]

Skye acted completely on impulse he was sure that he was just over happy that now he gained his first ever friend and a place in which they could hang out and be themselves. Though the ever changing attitude that is Skye quickly became a norm as he traveled from school to school and now this was his home and this was his room mate. strangely I have never felt the need to hug someone before...perhaps my vampire side is sucking up...

 

Quickly his attention was pulled back as he had noticed that Gale had backed away and began to stutter before he knew it he was being taken to the dining hall was he was then lead to the halfling line. "Gale would you like some food too? Or do you guys get feeders sent to your room since your a prince and all" Gale said hearing scoffing and felt gazes burn holes into his back and head while he gathered food through the bar he stopped to grab a have juice half blood drink he had gone the whole time he had forgotten the gazes and no longer felt them. "Gale?"

[firebird]

He smiled at Skye as how you would smile at a small child asking a question. "If only it was that easy young one. Sadly we have to feed...from a bag. There are actually humans who give their blood thinking that it's all going to some already dead patient in some hospital when really 70% of the time it goes to us." He sighed and fiddled with a fork he took up on the way to seat Skye and himself. "But believe me when I say..it tastes awful coming from a bag. You have to warm it up in the microwave for it to even taste remotely as good as coming from the source and even then it's not the same feeling as holding down some unsuspecting victim and drinking your fill--without killing them of course" He licked his lips at the thought. It really had been a while since he had actually hunted.

 

Finally arriving at a table suitable enough, he sat down and awaited Skye to do the same. Out of the blue he chuckled, looking directly at Skye. "Don't tell me you were worried that I would ravish you in your sleep why you asked me that?" There's was no sign that actually lead to that conclusion but it was just fun teasing the spitfire half-ling. "No need to worry about that, i'm not that sort of guy"

[Veil]

He laughed softly following behind gale as many stares darted to Skye he felt no worries though most of the stares were female it was against school rules to attack anyone under the neutral zone which was campus. Anything beyond the gates was fair game if approved by a teacher which Skye was assured that morning. Glancing up and lowering himself to the table he leaned on his palm looking at the food and sighs softly.

 

Before he spoke he heard a comment from gale which caused him to chuckle and cover his mouth. "As if my blood would taste good..I probably taste like garbage, though we can talk more about the 'type' of guy you are" he said smirking as a few folks ear shot heard and leaned over. Skye let out a sigh and looked back at gale.
