The Lovely Bite

The Lovely Bite: 5. Willow-Red

I try and keep up with Mr. Hansel while we arrive in the front doors of the mansion. It was much more beautiful up close, making my eyes wild in curiosity. Mr. Hansel opens the door, letting me in before going in himself.

"Come' on, we're late." He says while grabbing me and tugging me down a narrow hallway. I follow realizing that my luggage isn't with us.

"Where is my-"

"I left it in the lobby because a worker will take it and place it where everyone else's is." I don't respond back except follow him in a large room.

And damn every eye turned to us.

There was about 20 girls my age... hell, I counted, 20 girls exactly including me. They all were sitting down at tables, silent... glaring at Mr. Hansel and my way.

"Ah Mr. Hansel, you decided to come late didn't you?" A women in her thirties says who is standing on a stage in front of us. She is dressed in a working attire, her red hair bright like fire.

"May you excuse me but I did have to stop by and grab a bite." He pauses and clamps his teeth down together. "I was fairly hungry." He adds while silence consumes us all.

"Very well, now we all can start our introduction." Mr. Hansel pushes me a little so I can sit at the last open seat in one of the tables with the girls. I didn't really want to but my legs obeyed, walking to it.

I pull my seat out, all attention on me while I sit down, placing my backpack on the floor. It makes a loud thud from my heavy laptop slamming down and the girl next to me jumps in fright.

"Sorry." I whisper to her while she ignores me. I look at Mr. Hansel who is leaning against the farthest wall with other young people around his age. They all look beautiful just like him.

"Hello everybody my name is Fiona Gerdu and I will be one of your teachers. There is a lot to explain so please stay seated." Her voice is dark and deep through the microphone. It doesn't sound very pleasing and welcoming.

"This is Willow-Red High and before you all actually make it to this school, you all will have to take a test." Mumbles go through the two tables of girls and Fiona silences them.

"It's not an easy test but it can be for some of you. Only six will be able to make it to this school." Six? Only? From 20 girls?

"All of you girls for a week will be going to classes for Women Industry class. This class will make you girls learn how to be lady-like properly and maturely."

"Why?" I shout out and everyone snaps there heads to me. I shrug at the thought of cutting her off and I lean back in my seat.

"Because you all will have to try and compete to grab one of six boys attention." Now this is fucking creepy as hell.

"They will come the last day of next week to meet you all. But if they don't choose one of you, you will go back home." Okay so this is why mom said that you have to pass a test. If not, you go home. So I'll just not try so I can go home.

"How is this going to help for college?" I shout back to her.

"You will stay for the boys as long as they want you. For years it can be." Girls gasp in shock and I furrow my eyebrows.

"What kind of game is this?" I ask her and she looks like she's getting really annoyed with me.

"Let me explain so you all don't freak. You are not in the human world anymore. You all must wonder why you went through the river to come here. Welcome to Allieset Dark, one of the small countries in the Vampire world." Girls start to mutter each other about Fiona talking about crazy stuff. I sit up from slouching in my seat and I watch Fiona up on the stage.

"The six boys are human for now but they are in a Pureblood line. All six of their families own one of these countries that we are in. They will pick one of you guys so you can help them become vampires and help them out. It's an amazing time. Every year the girls love doing it and trying to win." Girls are still talking and I turn to Mr. Hansel, his eyes connecting with mine.

"When the boys choose their pick, they will start their transition and become vampires. You will be by there side-" A girl gets up, freaking out and running off.

That bitch just created madness.

Every girl gets up from sitting down, running to the nearest exits. I get up also but I wasn't freaking out that much, it just seems like a dream. Through all the running bodies, I grab my backpack and I put it on my back. The girls were getting grabbed by the teachers- men and women.

To not get caught I use my smart senses and I run back from the stage. I go through an exit and I get out, running down a dark empty hallway. I see another red bright sign that says exit so I run to it. I was almost there until someone quickly reaches me and stops in front of the door.

I try to stop so I don't slam into them, slipping down the tile ground and falling on my butt. Mr. Hansel is right in front of me. But how?

"I wouldn't run if I was you." He says to me and suddenly his blue eyes become a dark bloody red. I try to scream but I can't, a lump is stuck in my throat.

"How, how fast? How can you-" I cut my words and I knew there was no time to talk.

I turn around, getting on my feet and running the other way but he grabs me by my shoulders.

"Adeline, stop. You'd be in much more danger if you go out those doors by yourself." I try to get out of his grip but he's holding me tight.

"Get off of me! Let me leave!"

"You can't! You will need a vampire to get you back to the human world. And if you go outside these doors by yourself as a human, the vampires will just take you as a walking snack." My heart races still trying to get out of his grip.

"I can't do this!" I shout back and he purses his lips into a firm line.

"Chandler, let her go." A soft voice says behind him and he obeys. I take a step back and Fiona is behind him, Mr. Hansel looking down at the ground.

"I'm sorry, Fiona." He says while Fiona sighs.

"Come with me, girl, there is no need to cause any problems." She says to me and I nod my head, walking to her. "Don't be scared, we won't hurt you or anyone else." She adds with Mr. Hansel following behind us.

That was a turn of events. Would they know that the girls would freak out? Jeez...
