As the class left, Isolde started to pack her bag with a sad expression on her face. Mrs. Patterson noticed and told Isolde to come over. "Yes, Mrs. Patterson, what?" Isolde asked. "What was the man you were talking about?" Mrs. Patterson inquired. Isolde replied, "Well, he was all covered up and had everything black, and this other girl had bite marks all over her, and he was a vampire, power, it was so cool!" Mrs. Patterson looked at Isolde strangely and said, "Wow... well, that's not new. Have a good day, Isolde." Isolde said goodbye and left, skipping away.
Mrs. Patterson started cleaning up the classroom, and suddenly the door slammed shut so hard it scared her. She heard a voice saying, "How did she do?" Mrs. Patterson replied, "Well, she pushed Regina a little bit, but Regina pushed her so hard she can barely open her eyes." The voice said, "Okay, what does she know?" Mrs. Patterson said, "Well, she knows that vampires are real now, thanks to you." The voice said, "Oh, well, she's going to learn more anyway..." and then disappeared.
Later in the day, Isolde sat eating her lunch when she heard a girl call out her name. "Isolde?" She turned around to see Elizabeth and Maddie approaching her. Isolde waved and joined them, excited to share her story. "Hey guys, guess what happened in class today?" Elizabeth asked, "How was class?" Isolde replied, "It was so cool, but I got hit pretty bad by Regina." Maddie's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Why did you let her punch you?" Isolde explained, "It was for an assignment, and she beat me." Her face turned sad, and Elizabeth noticed. "Are you okay, Isolde? You seem a little upset." Isolde hesitated before revealing, "Yesterday, I encountered something scary... a vampire." Maddie and Elizabeth gasped in unison, "A vampire?!" Isolde continued, "He attacked me, but I'm okay. Paxton saved me, but he hit me with something, and I blacked out."
Just then, Isolde was pushed to the ground. Elizabeth and Maddie turned to see Regina and Christopher standing over her, a menacing look in their eyes. Regina sneered, "Hey loser," while Christopher smirked, "Hello ladies, how are you doing today?" Maddie told him to hush, and Elizabeth helped Isolde up from the ground. Isolde greeted them calmly, "Hey Regina, Christopher." Christopher locked eyes with Isolde, and for a moment, his gaze seemed to linger. He thought to himself, "She's so innocent and beautiful." Regina shot him a strange look, as if sensing something was off.
"How are you doing, Isolde?" Christopher asked, his tone unexpectedly gentle. Isolde replied, "I'm doing good, how about yourself?" Christopher said, "I'm fine. I need to talk to you in private." Regina raised an eyebrow. "You want to talk to this... thing?" she said, her voice dripping with disdain. Christopher nodded, and Maddie stepped forward, her eyes flashing with anger. "Hush your mouth, you cunt," she snapped at Regina. Elizabeth intervened, "Maddie, please, language." Isolde, seemingly oblivious to the tension, agreed to go with Christopher. "Sure, I can go with you." As they walked away, the girls exchanged confused glances. Maddie turned to Regina, her eyes narrowing. "I'm watching you." As Isolde and Christopher walked, Isolde gazed around in wonder. "I've never seen a place like this," she said, her curiosity piqued.
"Well, you've never been on this side of the school before. It's for people like me," Christopher replied with a chuckle.
Isolde's excitement grew. "Where are you taking me, Christopher?"
"Just a little chat," he said, his eyes sparkling with mystery.
Isolde looked confused. "A chat?"
But Christopher just smiled and took her hand, leading her through the winding corridors. Paxton watched from the sidelines, his eyes narrowing as he wondered what they were up to.
Finally, they reached a dark, eerie hallway. "It's very dark in here," Isolde said, her voice barely above a whisper.
And then, Christopher's hand touched the wall, and he leaned in close. "What do you remember, Isolde?"
Isolde looked at Christopher and said, "What do you mean, what I remember?"
Christopher said, "Don't be so naive, Isolde. You know you were attacked by a vampire, correct?"
Isolde looked at Christopher and said, "Yes, he attacked me. He almost tried to bite my neck."
Christopher laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the hallway. "Wow, you're actually interesting for a girl who smells so nice," he said, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling intensity.
Isolde looked at him strangely and said, "Huh? You're acting weird, and your eyes are red, just like that man."
Christopher was taken aback that a girl like Isolde could look at him without being scared. "Wow, I like you. You're my type," he said, his voice low and menacing.
He hugged Isolde and grabbed her chin, leaning in for a kiss. But just as suddenly, Paxton screamed out, "Isolde, what are you doing with this creep?"
Isolde screamed back, "Paxton, hey!" But Christopher just said, "Oh, Paxton, you're ruining the fun."
In an instant, Paxton was close to Christopher, grabbing his neck and demanding, "What are you planning with Isolde?"
Christopher said, "Oh, nothing, just the plan old usual." Paxton looked at Christopher, trying to decipher his intentions, and said, "You're disgusting."
Isolde looked at the two men fighting and spoke out, "Guys, calm down. Paxton, he just wants to talk to me."
Paxton looked at Isolde in disgust and said, "About what? You're so stupid, Isolde. This man, Christopher, is a vampire. He was going to drink your blood and devour you, and you were just going to let him. I see why your mom and dad never liked you; you're so gullible."
Isolde looked at Paxton with fear, and her heart started pounding wildly. Paxton grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Christopher laughed out loud, finding the situation amusing.
