We're not all Monsters

First Meeting

Marshal's POV

"Ugh Mienshao... Where'd you run off to this time?"

I searched my house, trying to find the purple-grey Pokemon. The mayor, Alder(yes he is the mayor of that town. Do not hate plz), was going to be visiting and I knew that Mienshao would cause trouble if I didn't know where he was. Alder already treated me like a son, but I didn't want him to see Mienshao cause trouble.

I groaned and looked outside. He had to be out in the woods. It was dangerous to go out there at night, and it was sundown.

Way to go universe...

I sighed and rubbed my head. If I went out there, there was a risk of me being killed by a hungry vampire, but if I didn't...

I sighed and grabbed a jacket and slipped it on. I had to go get him, no matter what.

"Here we go..." I mumbled.

I walked outside and locked my door. I knew I really shouldn't have locked my door, but I still did. I liked making sure my house was secure before I went anywhere. Call me paranoid, but I did what I wanted.

I took a deep breath and walked into the woods. A feeling of dread came over me as I entered them. I didn't fear the vampires at all, but that didn't mean I didn't fear the woods. The woods freaked me out bad. I shook my head to clear it.

Whoa calm yourself Marshal... You have to find Mienshao... I told myself stubbornly.

I walked into a small clearing that had a large tree in the center. I looked around the wooded areas.

"Mienshao!" I called.

I saw his head poke out from a bush and he mewled to me. I smiled as he ran up to me. I rubbed his head and smiled.

"There you are buddy! Don't run away like that again, you had me worried sick!" I exclaimed, picking him up.

Mienshao purred and bit my ear gently. I chuckled and I heard a branch crack subbed us. I looked up just in time to see something fall from the tree. I jumped back as it hit the ground. I noticed with a pang that it was a person lying there on the ground. I gasped.

"Oh my, are you ok?!" I exclaimed, running up to the man on the ground.

The man groaned and sat up weakly. He had raven hair that spiked up on the sides and ice blue eyes. He was dressed nicely and had a yellow scarf around his neck. I noticed that his canines were unusually long and sharp for a person...

I gasped and backed away. It was a vampire. He groaned and looked at me. His eyes went wide.

"Oh... Wow... What a way to meet, huh?" He asked, a playful tone in his voice.

I just stared at him. I had never seen a vampire before. He seemed... Interesting... The vampire got to his feet and held his hand out.

"The name's Grimsley. What's your name?" He asked.

I stared at him then took his hand and shook it. Grimsley smiled wider and he looked at me expectantly. I jumped.

"Oh! I'm Marshal." I said nervously.

Grimsley giggled a little.

"I don't bite. I swear I don't. I don't drink human blood. I'm only a half vampire." He informed me.

I blinked in surprise. A fledgling that didn't want to become a full vampire... That was a rare thing to hear. I felt slightly reassured by that fact.

"Oh... Human blood doesn't suit your fancy?"

Grimsley shook his head.

"Nope. I refuse to drink it. Drinking it means I become a full vampire, and I don't want to loose the rest of the human in me."

I smiled weakly. He seemed ok for a blood thirsty monster. I looked around.

"Are your friends around?" I asked.

Grimsley blinked and looked around with me.

"Probably. We're not that close either... They don't like me since I don't drink human blood." He stated.

I smiled. Talking with him was soothing. I felt nice when I spoke with him.

"That's odd, shouldn't you stick together?"

Grimsley shrugged.

"Eh, it's everyone for them-self basically." He admitted.

I chuckled. I began talking again but Grimsley tensed up.

"Sorry to cut the fun short but you should leave Marshal... They're coming. I'll visit though."

Before I could say that that was a ridiculous idea he turned and ran off, a Liepard on his heels. I stared after him and looked at Mienshao.

"How odd..."
