VanderVall Academy- Sunday 25th February,2018-
Justin's Office - 7.48am
Kathryn is sat on the comfortable sofa on her dads office with her legs raised and feet on the table relaxing. She is wearing black ripped high waist jeans and a bright yellow jumper which is raised a little at the front with a twist. She had pale yellow shoes on her feet an her hair was braided to the right side.
"How is Danny's parents Jeffrey and Carrie doing?" Justin asks Kathryn as he sits at his desk doing his paperwork.
"They are doing pretty great actually, Danny and Alisha are happy to have them back and they appear to be settling in quite well" Kathryn answers him with a gentle smile on her face
"I'm doing everything i can to make sure they feel welcome and safe here" Justin shares with his daughter wanting her to know all he is doing for them
"I know but the only people who will go after them is Ophelia and her followers"Kathryn reminds him that Alfonso is no longer in control of Carrie and Jeffrey.
"That is what I am afraid of, there are people out there who are willing to stop at nothing to make sure they get what they want" Justin reminds Kathryn of everything that is going on in the outside world
"Which is why you take more precautions in the school, you got rid of thirty people recently who were siding with Ophelia" Kathryn reminds him of how much he is protecting the school
"I just hope all the sacrifices we have made will be worth it in the end" Justin pipes up bing reminded that Alice thinks Kathryn will die.
"How much did you know about mums dad?" Kathryn questions him wanting to know more about her family and those she came from.
"Nothing" Justin shakes his head truthfully
"How is that possible?" Kathryn asks him confused as to how he doesn't know anything, surely enough she had a father.
"She never spoke about him and as far as i'm aware he was never in her life"Justin answers her question with all the information he knows
"I wonder what happened" Kathryn pipes up trying to figure out how someone could just leave their child and never come back
"I have a name for him and his old school file" Justin tells her getting up off his chair and goes over to the file cabinet to take the file out.
"So it was only mum and grandma Henrietta?" Kathryn asks him expecting her to have more family.
"Yes, When your grandma Henrietta was young her family got wiped out leaving only her because she managed to escape in time. She began working for my grand-parents met Glenn they then had Ophelia and it was just them two until Henrietta was killed while Ophelia was fifteen. " Justin explains to her and hands over Glenn's folder to Kathryn who accepts it and opens it up to see what is inside.
"It must have been hard for her" Kathryn pipes up feeling slightly sorry for her mother.
"It was but back then she had me and her friends to help her through it" Justin tells her and takes a seat back down at his desk whilst Kathryn glances through the file.
Greg comes barging into the office giving Kathryn a fright, Justin quickly stands in a defensive way willing to throw himself in front of Kathryn thinking it was an intruder.
"The blood supply truck was ambushed, we have no blood" Greg reveals in a panic not realising Kathryn was sat on the sofa
"What do you mean?" Justin asks him needing him to calm down and talk slower.
"All our blood has been taken from inside of the school and outside" Greg repeats to him but much slower and calm this time.
"This isn't good" Justin pipes up with his hands on the desk trying to figure out what to do.
"first of all , Kathryn we have to get you to safety" Justin starts of with and looks at Kathryn in fear
"What why?" Kathryn asks confused at what is going
"This is a school filled with thousand of hungry vampires and one human and we have no blood supply. They may be your friends now but when they are hungry who knows what will happen"Greg reminds Kathryn of what the school is all about
"Fine" Kathryn agrees taking her feet off the table and standing up preparing to go with them" where exactly do you expect me to go?"
"Your room, i recently got a new door installed meaning vampires can't force their way in"Justin tells her putting his arm behind her back and escorts her back to her room with Greg on her other side.
"We have to get out there and find the supply" Justin suggests to Greg knowing it is the only thing they can do
"One guess who has it" Kathryn answers instantly thinking about Ophelia and her little band of followers.
Greg and Justin both give each other a similar look knowing that Kathryn is right. The only person who would stoop to this level is Ophelia but they weren't going to let her get off with it. They escort Kathryn to her room feeling it would be unsafe of her to wander the halls alone and she opens the door with her key and looks at Justin and Greg who are stood at her door.
"Don't you dare bother leaving this room" Justin orders her and by the look on his face she knows there would be no point in arguing back with him.
"I won't" Kathryn shakes her head
"We are serious Kathryn, if you do it might just get you killed" Greg points out to her how dangerous it is.
"You really think i'm that stupid" She raises her eyebrow at them and neither of them say a word "I get it" Kathryn snaps at them fed up of the same routine all the time.
Justin grabs a hold of the door and closes it shut. Kathryn makes sure it is securely locked from the inside meaning no one can get it. She looks around her room and feels slightly thankful that she spent the night in Dallas's room or she could be in really big trouble. She walks over to her window and closes it as well and closes the curtains and blinds to make people believe she isn't in there or if she is then she will be sleeping. She climbs onto her bed with the folder in hand and looks at it, she picks up her phone and decided to call the number in the file hoping it will still be connected to Glenn. It rings for a couple of seconds and Kathryn begins to believe she has no hope.
"Hello"Glenn answers from the other side of the phone
"Hello" Kathryn begins to say
"Who is this and how did you get my number?" Glenn asks with haste in his voice
"Hi my name is Kathryn Vandervall. I got your number from your school file at the VanderVall archives and i'm your granddaughter" She answers as quickly as she can to keep him on the line
"That's not possible" Glenn says in disbelief and she can tell by the tone in his voice he doesn't want to be disturbed.
"How?" Kathryn answers not sure what he means
"First of all the VanderVall Academy is a special school and the VanderVall family are all Vampires and i'm a witch so you can't possibly be related to me and be a VanderVall Vampire. Second of all I don't recall having a child" Glenn explains to her over the phone.
"You had an intimate relationship with Henrietta " She beings to say on the phone and she receives no reaction but silence "well she had a daughter Ophelia who is also a witch and is my mother. No one knows how a vampire and a witch managed to have a kid they just did" Kathryn blurts out on the phone fed up of explaining herself.
"And say i believe you" Glenn answers still skeptical
"I just want to know why you left Henrietta" Kathryn tells him just wanting him to answer this one question
"I left because i was in love with another woman but it only resulted in her mother not being too pleased and put a curse on me" Glenn answers her question
"what kind of curse?" Kathryn questions him needing to know everything
"I could step in the same town Henrietta was in or fall in love again" He reveals to her and Kathryn lets out a shocked gasp.
"That's horrible" Kathryn replies in disgust
"That's what happens when you meddle with witches" Glenn responds to her having no trust in witches whats so ever. "You say i have a daughter huh"
"Yes a evil witch of a daughter" Kathryn answers with anger in her voice
"What happened?" Glenn asks wanting to know more
"I barely know myself, one minute she was good and the next she turned on everyone" Kathryn reveals telling the truth, she really didn't know much about Ophelia and her wicked ways, and some days she really didn't want to know.
"I'm sorry about that but there is nothing i can do about it" Glenn tells her over the phone
"That wasn't why i phoned, i already got what i called for so i shall leave you too it. Have a good day" Kathryn answers feeling unsure if she wants to talk to him any longer than she has to.
"Oh" Glenn replies in slight disappointment
"I mean unless there is anything you need?" Kathryn pipes up sensing his disappointment from over the phone
"No it's alright" Glenn refuses lying to her because part of him does want to know his grand-daughter.
"Well, thank you again" Kathryn begins to say "Bye"
"Goodbye" Glenn says with a friendly gentleness in his voice.
Kathryn lingers on the phone for a moment she goes to say something but decides against it then hangs up the phone. She sits on her bed just staring at her phone and the folder, she leans over into her bedside unit and takes out a notepad and pen and writes down everything she knows about her family.
Kitchens-
Justin and Greg are stood in the kitchens looking at the empty fridges of where the blood for the vampires would be.
"They took everything, all our secret stocks. Everything" Cook Austin Fowler tells Justin as he shows them all their stocks.
"We have nothing" Justin says with his hand over his mouth unsure of what to do.
"We need to find another supply and fast" Greg points out to them
"No, we need to get our supply back" Justin corrects him knowing it is the only way they will be able to have enough for everyone.
"But how?" Cook Austin Fowler asks the pair
"Rally the teachers and only the teachers, Leave a good group here to be in charge in case everything goes wrong. I don't want students involved" Justin orders the pair thinking it is the best way to go around things
"What do we tell the students when they go for breakfast?" Greg asks Justin needing to know what to say.
"I'll make the announcement then join you out there" Justin answers him putting the pressure on his shoulders.
Nurse Glaydes walks into the kitchens with a worried look on her face.
"What it is?" Greg asks her knowing she is about to tell them something they aren't going to like
"The rumours have started spreading around school, people have already begun fighting. A few students have been admitted into the infirmary already and there's one more thing" Nurse Glaydes begin to reveal to them
"Yes" Justin says waiting for her to tell them
"Your daughter" Nurse Glaydes begins to say to which Justin takes a deep breath in
"What about her?" Justin asks sensing something is wrong
"What has she gotten herself up to now?" Greg asks not being blunt about it
"She is with the doctor right now, she is talking about donating blood for students to drink" Nurse Glaydes reveals to them
"I'll go talk to her" Justin tells them "Gather the teachers"Justin orders then runs out of the kitchens and up to the dorm hallways and stands outside Kathryn's door where he sees Dr Leighton Gallaghar standing there talking with her
"This could kill you" Dr Leighton Gallaghar reveals to her worried and disapproving
"You don't know of my gift then" Kathryn tells him from behind the door
"What gift?" Dr Leighton Gallaghar asks her confused as it isn't written in her fire.
"I don't die unless i want too" Kathryn reveals to him
"Hello doctor" Justin says as he approaches them to which the doctor nods his head at him.
"You are telling me we can drain you of all your blood and you will come back to live and regain strength and we can do it again and again?"Dr Leighton Gallaghar asks her trying to understand it all
"Yes" Kathryn answers him
"It will have to be someone who can resist your blood to take it" Dr Leighton Gallaghar points out to her
"No way in hell" Justin blurts out disagreeing with it all
"It could save them" Kathryn reminds him of the blood shortage
"No, as your father i am drawing a line to this. Yes we need blood but not this way" Justin refuses to the idea of it.
"What do you expect me to do then" Kathryn shouts from behind her door getting frustrated
"Kathryn you don't get it sometimes you get vampires who when they get a taste of human blood they want more of it they get the urge and if they can smell that person's blood, your blood they will kill you. Some vampires become attached to the taste of the blood and only that blood where they would do anything for more of it" Justin explains to the consequences of what could happen if she gives her blood away.
"So i'm just going to be Rapunzel locked away in a tower"Kathryn points out not liking it at all
"Yes unless you want to die" Justin replies to her not having it happen, he takes a hold of the doctors arm and pulls him to the side.
"No matter what she says, do not in any circumstances let her give away her blood do you hear me" Justin asks of the doctor wanting to make sure she will be safe
"Of course Sir" Dr Leighton Gallaghar agrees to what Justin has to say
"I have to go Kathryn, please i am begging you, do not do anything stupid" Justin tells her before walking away to the great hall where the students gather.
Great Hall- 9.05am
Justin comes storming into the great hall and over to the teachers table where barely any teacher sits, he walks up the three steps that takes you to the teachers table and turns to face the students.
"Ladies and Gentleman, As you may have noticed there is no blood on the tables for you this morning and i have the answer why. During early hours of this morning our Blood supply down in the kitchen was stolen and the blood supply truck was ambushed and never made its way here" Justin begins to announce before chaos ensures in the hall
"What the hell we meant to do then?" Patrick Donald shouts from the end of the hall
"We need blood" Caroline Port reminds Justin as her hunger begins to intensify.
"Me and faculty members are working on a solution and are hoping to have blood here by lunch and supper" Justin assures them all wanting to do everything he can to get blood for his students " If possible stay in your rooms and do not talk to anyone, the rest of you do not and i mean do not provoke the Vampires as if they are hungry they won't think twice about snapping your head off."
Justin walks away from the podium and down the great hall with intentions to find Greg and get their supply back. Dallas grabs a hold of his arm to get his attention as Justin had zoned out and couldn't hear him talking to him.
"Justin" Dallas speaks up snapping Justin out of his state
"What? What?" Justin says confused not understanding what was going on
"Where's Kathryn? Is she okay?" Dallas asks worried about his girl
"She is in a safe place" Justin assures him then looks at the doors of the great hall
"What can we do?" Dallas asks Justin wanting to help out
"Make sure no one goes near my daughter" Justin answers him wanting to make sure she stays safe, Justin whispers into Dallas's ear her location then races out of the great hall to find Greg.
Justin runs out of the school ignoring everyone and finds Greg standing in the centre of town, he takes a breath through his nose and all he can smell is blood. When he gets over to Greg he has a proper look around the place, the town is covered in their blood bags. Every inch of the town is covered in blood.
"Close the school doors, do not open them for anyone but us" Justin orders Professor Yewande West who marches up to the school following her orders.
"She's trying to starve us" Greg points out to Justin having good control over his blood lust after being around for so many years.
"That woman will go to some extreme attempts won't she" Justin looks at Greg shaking his head, his blood boiling in anger at her.
"No matter what she is trying to do it is a dangerous game to play" Greg says to Justin not liking anything that is going on around the school especially not the blood disappearing or the students.
"I need to see her" Justin tells Greg looking further out of town knowing he must face Ophelia and confront her.
"It isn't safe"Greg refuses to allow his friend to go out there
"It is what must be done" Justin sticks to his intentions, "Find another source of blood and bring it to the school even if you must drain hospital blood banks, do what you must". Justin orders the professor before walking through the town.
The further out of town Justin goes the more he sees the change from light to dark, how people linger in the streets either looking in fear or with the look of anger and happiness to see him approach them. As he walks through the third town a vampire by the name of Stavros Fincham approaches him and puts his hand on his chest.
"I want to talk to Ophelia and i want to talk to her now" Justin demands to see her giving Stavros a glare.
"You will have to wait" Stavros shakes his head not allowing it straight away, Justin takes a step forward and Stavros takes a hold of his arm to which Justin retaliates by snapping his head and tearing it off his body, he throws the head in one direction and the body in the other. He throws his suit jacket on the grown and rolls up his shirt sleeves to show he is here for business and isn't afraid to get a little dirty to get what he wants.
Ophelia's men line up to take Justin down but as he is the most powerful Vampire in the world with a snap of his fingers they were dead, With a glare it made their eyes bleed from the sockets, one scratch deep enough in their skin drew them of all blood. Usually Justin would feel sympathetic over the lives he killed but today was different. He had a job to do and nothing was going to stop him. He swings open a door to a building and steps into it where he sees Ophelia sitting at a desk in the very back. Ophelia's men take a stand at his sight ready to kill him.
"Let him through" Ophelia orders them all, of course some of the stubborn ones didn't care what she had to say and tried to hurt him which only resulted in their death. Others weren't as stupid but Justin killed them anyway.
"It's lovely to see you again Justin, It's been a while" Ophelia greets him being friendly towards him
" Not long enough" Justin replies as he stands in front of her desk.
"Really?" Ophelia replies to him then moves her chair back and relaxes on it holding her hands together she looks at him. "What can i help you with today then Mr VanderVall?"
"You destroyed my blood supply" Justin begins to answer
"Oh, i am very sorry about that. I hope it hasn't caused any disruption back home" Ophelia mockingly apologises to him
"What is your plan?" Justin raises his voice at her trying to figure it out
"Who says i have a plan?" Ophelia asks him with a smirk on her face
"I wasn't born yesterday dear, I know you have a plan" Justin replies to her with a glare in his eyes
"Oh Justin you really have changed over the years, you really did used to be so much fun growing up. What happened?" Ophelia says looking back on memories of the person he once was.
"I had responsibilities. I had shoes to fill" Justin replies to her still bitterness in his voice
"Big shoes indeed which you appear to have filled rather well" Ophelia agrees with him and gives him a smile "Now what is it you want?"
"I have one thing to tell you" Justin pipes up "You can take our blood and destroy it, we will always find another resource, You may take some of our students but you won't be able to take them all. You may begin a war but you will not win" He goes on to say
"Is that a threat or a promise"Ophelia laughs to herself
Justin walks over to her and leans over to her and whispers into her ear. After he has whispered the words he takes a step back and her facial expression has changed to more serious, the look of fear and worry on it.
"Think about what i said" Justin replies before walking out of the building, he begins to walk back the way he came and picks up his coat off the grass and carries it in his hand back to town.
When he reaches down he sees the blood is being cleared away off the buildings and off the streets to eventually allow people back out.
Kathryn's Chambers- 1.26pm
Dallas is sitting on the floor outside of kathryn's bedroom door to ensure no one goes near her and tries to kill her. Although he is hungry and he can feel the blood lust in his throat the sound of her voice calms him down and keeps him sane. On the other side of the door and inside the room Kathryn is sitting down on the ground at the door where she has been since Dallas came along talking to him every moment she can get even if it meant talking absolute nonsense to him just to distract his mind.
"I know my dad is trying to protect me by locking me up in here but god is it annoying" Kathryn pipes up to Dallas feeling bored and going out of her mind at the thought of being able to help her dad find the stash of blood
"He has us all on lock down, it isn't safe" Dallas shares with her being able to smell the blood from the town
" Still doesn't make it fair" Kathryn replies annoyed
"You know what else isn't fair having to listen to you constantly moan about it" Dallas mentions getting annoyed at her talking about it
"Fine i won't talk at all then" Kathryn spits out and sits in silence
"Seriously?" Dallas says to her shaking his head at her pettiness
"What else do you expect me to say, i spend most days with you Dallas. I have nothing else to share" Kathryn points out to him
"There is so much other things we could talk about" Dallas tells her having a few in his mind
"Like what?" kathryn asks him
"Let's see Alfonso, your mum, your past" Dallas answers her coming up with plenty of topics in his mind
"No" Kathryn refuses not wanting to talk about them "Why don't you share a little for once"
"Fine since you don't seem to want to talk" Dalla replies taking a breath in.
Flashback- Dallas 15 Years Old
Fifteen year old Dallas is stood outside Cheryl's house watching her and her boyfriend Gabriel Conte laughing and joking in the living room. His anger becomes to boiling point, the anger of hurt and betrayal come to mind. Hurt that the person he loved told lies that got him killed.
"Come on brother, once you do this you will be free" Alfonso encourages him to get revenge on those who wronged him.
"I will but i have a plan" Dallas tells him and walks away from the house before he does anything stupid.
Dallas walks to Sherif Sinclair's house one of the boys who killed him, he looks at the house for a moment then walks up to the door. He puts his hand on the handle and turns it to find the door is locked, He cracks his neck then kicks open the door. Once the door is open Dallas takes a sniff in through his nose and smells Sherif upstairs, he walks up the stairs and opens the closest door to the stairs there he sees Sherif's parents Malin Sinclair and Dornegat Sinclair asleep in their bed. He glares at them angry but shakes his head no and closes the door as quiet as he can to make sure he doesn't wake them. Dallas makes his way down the hall to Sherif's room and opens the door and this time it was Sherif asleep in the bed. He walks over to him and his eyes changes the veins under his eyes being to bulge out, his eyes are pure black, he lets out a evil smile and opens his mouth to show his fangs and bites down on Sherif's neck and puts his hand over Sherif's mouth to stop him from screaming. Dallas drains Sherif of his blood and pulls himself away from his veins. Dallas licks his lips and smiles while looking at the body, He uses one of Sherif's shirts to wipe away the blood off his face and walks out his room leaving the door wide open. Dallas walks down the hall when a little girl at the age of four comes out her room with her blankie in hand. Dallas kneels down in front of her and smiles.
"Go back to bed" Dallas tells her with a friendly smile, Sherif's sister Amber smiles at Dallas and he guides her back to her room, he tucks her into her bed and walks out her room and then the house.
The next day Dallas goes back to Cheryl's house and sees Gabriel consoling her over the death of Sherif. Dallas walks off a few blocks down to Rupert Pernice's house where he and his brother Owen live. When Dallas gets there he sees that the two boys are having a party with their mum being away for work purposes. Dallas walks close to the door and sees many familiar faces, he avoids walking into the house and instead spies on them keeping a distance, He watches Rupert head upstairs into the bathroom, he walks to the side of the house and smashes his way through the bathroom window and sucks Rupert dry of his blood. He hears a knock at the bathroom door and unlocks it and uses his vamp speed to go back out the window so he can't be seen and sits on the room of the house, within a matter of seconds a scream is heard from the bathroom and Rupert's body has been found. With all the chaos going on he sees Owen out in the garden who didn't hear the scream over the music, he is gathered around a group of guys on the Basketball team, Dallas takes his pocket knife out of his trousers and opens it. Dallas uses his vampire speed rushing past Owen and slicing his throat open in the process. Dallas hides in the bushes as he watches Owen grip onto his sliced throat and fall to his knees as he bleeds out. The pleasure of watching Owen bleed to death soon fades and he walks away with a smile on his face. He considers going to the next house and slaughtering Kawhi Schoener but remembers his plan and how he wants Cheryl and Gabriel to be afraid. Afraid that they might be next and they were.
As Dallas had vowed to himself the next day he followed Kawhi out of the school around sevenish and sliced his neck open with his pocket knife leaving him to bleed out on the school car park. He picks up Kawhi's phone and sends a text message to Cheryl "You got me killed".He hears a noise out in the distance causing him to drop the phone smashing it and makes a run for it not wanting to be seen. Dallas makes his way back to Cheryl's house and watches her in a full on panic attack with flood of tears coming out her eyes while Gabriel looks at the phone in worry which makes Dallas smile.
"It feels good doesn't it, getting revenge on the ones who hurt you" Alfonso pipes up from a distance, Dallas turns around and nods his head.
"That it does" Dallas agrees with him and each time when he kills it's a sense of relief inside him.
"What are you going to do about her?" Alfonso questions him wanting to know his intentions having watched from a distance three days in a row
"I haven't decided yet" Dallas shakes his head not having made up his mind
"Best make it painful" Alfonso advices him
"That it will be" Dallas laughs and Alfonso slaps Dallas on the back proud of him.
"Just remember after this we have a code of conduct" Alfonso reminds him of the rules
"After this i don't care what happens to me" Dallas answers him truthfully
"Don't worry, i have your back little brother" Alfonso assures him thinking of the future and how much fun the pair could have together.
"And onto the next" Dallas replies walking away from Cheryl's house having seen enough of her.
The following day Dallas sneaks into the school and hides in the boy's gym locker room, Kem Felton came in to grab his Insulin shot. Kem is rummaging in his bag and takes his insulin out. Dallas allows him to take the shot then while his back is turned Dallas sinks his teeth into his neck and drinks him off his blood. Dallas dumps his body to the ground, he takes a hold of Kems phone and messages Cheryl "Another bites the dust"and walks off not having a care anymore. Dallas goes off and observes Cheryl who is in her English classroom and her reaction to the message before walking off.
On the fourth day Dallas goes to Gabriel's house and finds him down in the basement playing his video game. He sneaks up behind him the veins in his eyes bulging out, his rubs his tongue against his fangs, He grabs a hold of the chair Gabriel is sitting on and launches it across the room making Gabriel see him
"But you're dead" Gabriel claims in shock
"Yeah you thought, just like you thought you knew the truth" Dallas tells him with his fangs on show
"What are you?" Gabriel asks him afraid his back against the wall
"Your worst nightmare" Dallas answers him then lunges his hand into his chest, he grabs a hold of his heart and pulls out his heart causing Gabriel to drop to the ground. With Gabriels Heart in his hand he takes a bite out of it and begins to eat it. Dallas takes a picture of Gabriel and sends it to Cheryl "This is where lies lead" He walks out the house. Dallas stands outside of the house and waits until Cheryl races to the house, she heads inside and sees his body there and lets out a scream. Dallas with Gabriels phone in hand sends her a message.
"You got them killed, You are the reason they are dead. You killed Dallas, Sherif, Rupert, Owen, Kem and Gabriel. I hope you're happy". Dallas drops the phone on the ground and walks away from the house feeling relieved that it was over with. He had considered killing Cheryl too but he thought it would be too easy, why not let her live the rest of her life knowing she is the reason six people are dead because of one lie she told.
