School for Vampires: Book 1 - Love at First Bite

chapter 9 Our Forest

"I can't believe it." Chester said with shock. "I know. All these cookies and no milk." Herold tried digging threw the bag hoping to find the cookies. "Oh never mind. She packed the milk too." He opens the lid and drinks from it.

Anastasia taps him on the shoulder and points at Kryptina. "Wow Kryptina was a vampire this whole entire time." His eyes widen with shock. "Anastasia? Help me out here." He turns to her. Just then, Anastasia suddenly begins to feel weak and she falls over resting her hand on her for head. 

Herold looks at her with shock. Kryptina looked at them with sadness. She then transforms into a bat and flies away. "KRYPTINA?!" Chester cried as, he reached his hand out to her.

Just then, the all heard solders marching behind them. They turned to see Abraham Van Helsing was in the lead riding a white horse. He was wearing his silver armor, his long purple cloak and long purple hat. He carried lots of garlic, wooden stakes and, crosses. 

"Good hunter? Have you lost your senses?" Abraham Van Helsing asked. "Kryptina is one of them." Chester answered back holding a small piece of of fabric from Kryptina's cape. "I know she is and that's why I'm gonna have to put an end to her. "What? But you can't." Chester stepped towards him with worry. "You've grown soft. Chain him." He turns to his vampire hunters. "We'll deal with him later and as for these two, send them home." 

Two of the vampire hunters escorted Herold and picked up Anastasia carrying her back to the city.

Kryptina flew up to Alarich and the rest of the school. "Kryptina?" Alarich smiled at her with relief. They headed into the castle. The entered the darkest room, the room was filled with coffins, there was spider webs on some of the corners of the room, there was dim candle lights and, there was rats that ran around the room. 

The coffins. This must be where Alarich and the whole school sleeps. Kryptina thought. "We'll place her hear until, we can figure out how we are gonna heal her." Oxblood said.

"I-I never seen anything this bad before." Alarich laying on his mother's side looking at Kryptina with tears running down his face. Kryptina rested her hand on his and looked at him feeling sorry. "Sir." Henderson ran over to Oxblood. "They're coming and they got lots of garlic, crosses and, wooden stakes with them. What are we gonna do now?"  Thorn looked out the window. "I hate to say it but Henderson is right. They're almost here and we won't be able to take them down with that smell of garlic and the wooden stakes they can use against us. 

"I think I got an..." Oxblood was just about to answer but before he could, Kryptina leaps in front of them with her eyes narrowed. "I'LL HOLD THEM OFF!" Kryptina quickly ran out of the castle and headed towards the angry vampire hunters. "Oh it's just like that human trader to go off back to her vampire hunter friends and share with them our secrets while, we just sit here like sitting ducks. I DON'T TRUST HER!"  

"HEY?!" Thorn steps in. "SHE NEVER TOLD THEM SHE WAS SEEING US AND SHE SAVED ALARICH'S MOTHER TONIGHT! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED FOR YOU TO TRUST HER!" Thorn stomped her foot on the ground. "Follow her." Alarich points towards the castle entrance. 

"What?" Oxblood opens in hands with shock. The whole school of vampires flew outside of the castle looking for Kryptina. "ARE YOU ALL CRAZY?!" 

Kryptina stood on top of a large hill as, she could see all the vampire hunters from miles away. They were trying to burn down the whole forest, she assumed it must be to take away all the shade that helped to keep the sunlight from turning them to ash. 

kryptina was trying to find a way to stop them but before she could, she heard the sound of wind from behind her. She turned to see it was the whole school for vampires all transforming back into their selves. "Lady Kryptina." Thorn rushed up to her. "Don't worry. We're here to help." Thorn held her hands with a smile. "What about Alarich?" Kryptina asked. "He's still with our mother. It doesn't look good."
