Pure Knight

Second Sword

 Ten year later-

  A young woman sat in one of the high trees on the grounds of the Blood Hunting Academy. She flipped the pages of the book she was reading, as the sun went down over the horizon.  "Michelle!" A voice called out. "Michelle, where are you?" Michelle closed the book, and slid off the tree branch. Before the voice called her again, she landed right behind her. "I'm right here, you don't have to yell, Ness." Ness jumped in fright. "Damn it, Mich. Do you have to do that every time?" Michelle grinned, "Maybe. Like my mother said, you need to always be on your toes." They walked back towards the gates. "So, why did you come out here looking for me? You know I always come back before the stars come out." "Ness frowned. "That's the problem these days." She scrubbed her blond hair. "Your coming back later and later than you usually do. And you don't get caught and scolded for it because of Fido and the others."

  Michelle stuck her tongue out. "Doesn't mean I don't come in early...sometimes."  Ness shook her head. "Come on. Your mother wants to talk to us, and the others about something." They hurried toward the main building. During the ten years, vampires young and old, new and ancient, began to appear throughout the world. A school was established on neutral territory so hunters could watch over them. The school expanded to about almost four thousand acres of land, with how many buildings were built for the humans, and separate building for the vampires. Ten pure bloods attended the school so far, with more popping up in other parts of the world. Along with the pure bloods, nobles, regular vampires, and even the half bloods attended the school. Some half bloods were allowed to attend the human side of the school if they so choose. However, some of the vampires that turn up, are not right in the head.

  They are called...'The Bitten'. A human turned by a vampire will either become that vampires lover, child, servant, or will lose their will and become on of those that cause havoc. They will be put down, and the vampire that turned them will be imprisoned, or killed. Of course, their is an exception were they can plead their case. In Vampire/Hunter court. Course the vampire who turned the human, can go mad as well, and there is no helping them, so they are to be executed.

 "Honestly, Michelle, you can't keep doing this." Ness nagged on and on. Michelle put her hands over her ears. "I hear you already. Stop nagging." She sighed. "Let's get our uniforms on." They headed toward their rooms. Ness went inside hers, just as Michelle opened her door, only to see a giant white wolf on her bed. "Dang it, Fido. Could you not take my bed, when your off duty." She ran inside her closet and got changed. Fido huffed, and lay his head on his paw. Michelle came out a few minutes later, wearing the uniform for the school. She wore a white fluttering shirt, that cross as the bottom of the fabric, and secured with a bottom. It had long sleeves towards the wrist, and clung to the body like a second skin. She even wore a white jacket, that was lined in black. Black lines circles the sleeves at the wrists, while the rest almost went past the fingertips. A crest with BHA sat on the front of the jacket in red. She also wore a skirt that was black, with white lines circling the top, and bottom of the skirt. She hopped on one foot, trying to get her socks on.

 She sat on the bed, and pulled them up the the tops of her thighs. After putting on her small boots, she made her way to the door. "I want you off my bed in a few minutes." She left the room. "Hurry, Michelle." Ness grabbed her hand and they ran toward the main building. On the way there, they did flips, jumps, and back flips across the rooftops. They both landed in the courtyard, and ran inside. They made it to the five hundred foot auditorium in record time. The hunters, and humans attending the school already took up half, while the other half was empty.

"About time you guys got here." They both turned to their friend. "Mark." Ness smacked his head, and arm. "You idiot. You were supposed to help me find Michelle, but I went out alone." He tried to hide his face, while she hit him. Michelle giggled. Everyone got quiet, as the door opened, and the staff arrived. Michelle and Ness sat down next to Mark, and waited as the staff walked up the stage. Michelle's mother walked up to the mic. "Good evening, everyone, and welcome to your first year of Blood Hunter Academy. I am your headmistress, Vanessa Black. I hope we get along." The students and teachers clapped. Vanessa waited, until the noise dialed down. "Now, I bet your wondering why the other half of the auditorium is empty." No one said a word, and waited for her to finish. "O-o-okay. It's quiet...too quiet." The double doors opened on the other half of the auditorium that was empty, and in poured the students from the night classes. The hunters tensed as they entered. Michelle sighed, "Here we go." She plugged her ears, just as the girls started to scream.
