SO THIS IS HAPPENING. Enjoy. Things will become clearer later on in the story.

It's midnight when it happens again, but this time, it's different.
The school is eerily silent. Almost every student is asleep, apart from two.
One is a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and bright green eyes. She lies stiffly under the covers, her eyes wide awake.
Outside her door stands the boy. He's contemplating if he should knock, or if he should just walk in. When did he become so soft, soft enough to be standing outside this girl's door?

The girl finally stands up. Her feet hit the hard, cold floor and she wraps her arms around her shoulders, chills running through her body. She looks across at the girls in her dormitary, four of whom she has barely had the chance to befriend yet. Mina Geller sleeps soundlessly, clutching a pillow to her chest.

The girl looks into the mirror. A pair of bright green eyes stare right back at her. They look frightful in the moonlight, and stand out vividly against her even, pale skin. 

It's a minute before midnight. The girl takes one sharp breath before it catches in her throat. Her eyes widen and she doubles over; then drops to her knees. 
Her body is shaking; and in one painful movement, her spine pulls her body backwards. She slams against the bed, and drops to the floor, her mouth wide open, no sound coming out.

The boy outside hears a crash. His head jolts up and he lays a hand on the door, pressing his ear against it. He can hear his heart beating loudly in his chest.

The girl's skin fades into muddy green. Her eyes gleam yellow and her spine bends and twists unnaturally, forcing her head to jolt in different directions. She pulls her hands to her face, her skin feels smooth, but harder than usual. She is not in a clear state of mind, however this feels strange and unfamiliar to her, everything feels strange.

It's when she pulls herself up to face the mirror that she is the most aware of the world around her. Her mouth drops open, to reveal the pale-pink flesh within, and a set of small, triangluar teeth. 
Shock overcomes her and she drops to the ground, her head hitting the floor, hard.
The transformation is over for the night.

The boy walks into the room. To his surprise, he finds the girl on the floor, and lifts her into her arms, tenderly brushing her hair behind her ears. She is dripping wet in sweat, which dampens his clothes, but he doesn't care.

All he cares about is that the girl is in his arms, and never has he ever worried so much about someone. He lays her down in her bed gently, pulls the covers over her, and slumps against the opposite wall, content on watching her fall into a deep sleep.



Uploading the next chapter tomorrow, but I'm writing it now. It's pretty late so I should probably head to sleep, because that's what any normal human being would do, right? Haha.. because I'm a normal human being, yeahh. And I'm not deprived of sleep, yeahhhhh.
