St Van Helsing's

Chapter 3

I was so wrong. It out P.E. here means learning every type of fighting ever. Of course they had to make sure we could do the moves we learnt so they paired us up so we could practise them. I was paired with a girl twice my size. She absolutely battered me. I have bruises all over body and I think a have a lump at the back of my head. I raced out of there once it was over. I have only word to describe that ...... Hell. I'm glad it's over. Now I have Biology next, maybe that will turn out better. I went into the science block. I had to climb the stairs all the way to the top floor. My bruises ached after every step. It's a good thing that I left early. When I finally found the right room, I saw Bella and Midnight. I was so relieved that I knew some people in the class. I went up to them and started talking to them. I started to realised that everyone had stopped talking and were staring at a woman coming down the hall.

"That's Mrs Plato, she's our biology teacher." Bella whispered in my ear

A tall thin lady approached us. She had a wrinkled face, brown kind eyes and white hair shoved up in a messy bun. She unlocked the door to the science room and we went in I sat towards the back with Bella and Midnight. The lesson started and it got very boring very fast. We were doing activities to remember each other's names. After Mrs Plato had finished learning our names, the real lesson started. The PowerPoint switched from remembering each other's names to a really interesting picture of a person? It was the insides of something. Underneath the picture was a question, what is this?

"Any answers?" asked Mrs Plato.

One hand went up slowly. Everyone just stared at it.

"Is it a werewolf, Mrs?" said a girl's voice smugly.

"Ok Amy, does anyone disagree?" said Mrs Plato.

No else put their hand up or wanted to, so I decided I would. I raised my hand.

"Yes Sarah, do you have anything to say?" asked Mrs Plato.

"I disagree," I said slowly, suddenly everyone started staring at me but I kept going "I think it looks more cat like."

"Well done Sarah that is correct. This is a werecat. A vicious monster that we know little about. Anyone who comes into contact with one doesn't live to tell the tale." said Mrs Plato. Then she whispered in a low tone "Nice try Amy."

After that Amy shot me dirty looks through the rest of that lesson. I had 4 normal subjects after that otherwise the school would be shut down because we weren't learning any of the curriculums. We have 6 lessons a day and we have lessons 5 days a week which I guess isn't that bad.

After today lessons, I found the library. I started eyeing up some fiction books on one of the shelves. They were supernatural books. I have always been fascinated by the supernatural. I guess that's why I'm here. Finally I checked out a pile of books and started to walk back to the dorms and then I had to stop. Amy was blocked my way; she had 2 other people behind her.

"Look, its smarty pants." she said mockingly. I tried to go past her but she immediately stopped me. Then Amy pushed me over.

"Where do you think you're going?" one of the girls said.

"Get away from her." replied a voice. They turned around.

I saw biker boots. It was Midnight.

"Don't worry girls, it's only the Goth." Amy said smirking.

"For someone who knows all about fashion, you really are clueless of the difference between me and a Goth." Midnight replied.

"Don't you have to go put on black eyeliner?"

"Don't you have lives to ruin?"

"Here's an idea. Why don't you go kill yourself?"

"You first."

Amy gave Midnight a filthy look and Midnight gave one back. Finally Amy said "Freak." and left, her two companions following behind.

Midnight came towards me, put hand out and said "I hate them."

I took the hand and pulled myself up. We started to walk towards your dorm room.

"I think you really pissed her off." I said

"Well it's you she's pissed off with." Midnight replied.

"Why?"

"Because you corrected her in M Biology." She answered.

"So?" I said uncertainly.

"She hates people being better than her. She likes to consider herself the best, just because she's a Van Helsing. That means being the best is supposed to run in the family and anyone shows any intelligence or talent is eliminated."

"What do you by eliminated?"

"It means she will make your life hell until you move away or worst of all end up dead in a ditch. Don't know how she does it without people asking questions. I guess they're too scared to ask."

I think of all the things she will do. Well I guess life is going to be hell.
