Yusuke High: School of Monsters

Chapter 9

I am most definitely relived; the creepy bodyguards aren't following me anymore. This must mean the time finally has come judging by what John stated when we first met (chapter 1) and he permitted me to drive to school but I would rather run than to drive, It's much faster that way.

"Hey! Princess Elizabeth. Can I trouble you for a moment?" Hanako asked me innocently. I smiled back, holding up my urge to hug her right now. She's just too cute.

"Call me Eli. It would really help." to make me feel more normal. "So what was that again?" she held up a sketch of two various outfits. Both costumes are scary looking and have some blood details spilled on them but the details are different. Normally I would be traumatize from blood, but unexpectedly I'm not.

"So princess—uhhhh... Eli what would you pick to wear for the Cultural Festival?" I looked at the drawing closer. It's very well-detailed from the head-gear down to the shoes.

"Did you draw this Hanako?" she nodded. "...Awesome. They are both my type but I'll pick this one." I said pointing at the white and black one. It's simple and very traditional.

"Thanks Eli. As I draw this, I thought of the theme Vampire since you are one and in my own opinion, it really suits you, being a vampire that is. Well I'll be going now. Thanks Eli!!" she rushed out the door.

Speaking of vampires, the conversation with mom yesterday was very intriguing.

Flashback

"Not anymore" someone entered our room. It was Mother.

Why is mother here? She should be here this afternoon. Why so soon?

"Happy 16th birthday Eli!" she hugged me at my bed. I'm still confused. I know she's doing this to ease my confusion. I wish it was working.

"Young boy. Can you leave us for a moment?" Mother said smiling at Marco.

"Will do, madam." He shortly steps out from the room.

"Elizabeth. Sorry to make you wait for such a long time."

"For what?"

"You're the Vampire Princess of Cartilizda. You're a pure blood just like me and your father." I am horrified from what mother is telling me.

"But why? Why did you hide it from me Mother, that I'm a vampire, that you're a vampire?"

"It's to keep you safe because you ARE the princess. The king was weak, at the time I was carrying you. So your father, as the oldest son has to inherit the thrown but" mother's trying her best to hold up her tears.

"But he was killed by Alfred, your uncle that was next in line for the throne after Adrian. John who was the butler of the king at that time suggested we went on hiding so we could keep you safe. But word spread out that Adrian has a child. And Alfred responds by sending countless of servant to find us until this very moment to protect his place in the throne." How old is John really?

"But why did you wait until I became a monster to tell me all this?" I was angry. I wasn't ready.

"I'm sorry but believe me Elizabeth it's to keep you safe." Silence invaded the room.

...

"Can you leave me for now? I need to be alone." I said. Mother seems hurt seeing me like this. She nodded and went out my room.

~~End of flashback~~~

I was staring blank at the window beside my seat. I was preoccupied by a question. I would have been a vampire all my life until this very day. "Why did I become a vampire when I turned 16?" I murmured to myself.

Author's Note:

I'll just point out that Elizabeth didn't became a vampire because of Marco's bite ❤️👄
