A Dracas and a Vamalia {Heirs of the Night} Lars x Alisa

3. Vampire School

       Everyone was on deck, getting ready to say farewell to most of the Elders who were returning home. 

    "You will have to teach our power to your classmates. Teach them, snake's tongue. Rat is too easy." Audrey told her daughter, Joanne, tapping her lightly on the nose. She then kissed the girl on the head, pulling her into a hug. 

   "Remember son, you are the eldest of the heirs. They will look up to you. So you will have to lead by example. We Vyrads are known for our control. I rely on you to keep up our reputation." Sir Milton instructed his son. "Yes sir. Control, check." Malcom shook hands with his father, bowing to Dame Elina before walking off.

   "He's polite." Dame Elina commented, turning to Sir. Milton, "He will surely keep up your reputation." 

   "He will. But maybe I won't." Sir Milton smiled. 

"Vi er den mektigste klanen. Men jo høyere du flyr, jo hardere faller du. Forstår du, gutt?" Baron Magnus said, standing next to his son on the Quarter Deck. "Ja." Lars nodded. 

    "Come down! Come down! Alisa! Tammo! Come down from there!" Dame Elina called, "Hindrik! Hindrik!"

   Baron Magnus and Lars looked down to see Dame Elina waving her hand about, trying to get Alisa and Tammo down from the railings.  "Hindrik!" Dame Elina called. 

  "Hold hodet klart. Unngå distraksjoner. Lær av de andre og ta det tilbake til Norge, så vi blir kraftigere." Baron Magnus instructed, placing a hand on his son's shoulder.  "Jeg vil ikke svikte deg." Lars promised. Baron Magnus pulled Lars's head closer and they touched foreheads for a brief moment. 

    Baron Magnus patted his son's shoulder and headed down to the Main Deck. Lars looked down to watch the other heirs and Elders.

  "Where are you going grandmother?" Tammo asked.

  "Well, everyone is heading home, but I'm going sightseeing in London." Dame Elina said, fussing with Tammo's hair.

   Alisa looked up to the Quarter Deck to see Lars standing there with a neutral expression on his face. But there was something in his eyes that puzzled her. She didn't know exactly what it was, but it puzzled her.

   "What about Hindrik?" Tammo asked.

   "Every child gets to keep their shadow, he's staying." Dame Elina said, bending over to kiss Tammo on the cheek. "Be brave." She told him.

    "Pass auf dich auf." Dame Elina said to Alisa, patting the girl on the cheek.

  "Bitte kümmern Sie sich um sie, Hindrik." Dame Elina placed a hand on Hindrik's chest before she stepped back to take one last look at them.

  Dame Elina then took hold of Sir Milton's hand and made they made their way to the side of the ship. 

   All the heirs, except Luciano, lined up by the railing as their parents were on the pier. 

   "By mamma!" Joanne smiled, giving as small wave. Audrey waved back and sent her a kiss.

   "Bye children!" Dame Elina waved, Sir Milton right behind her.  "Bye grandmother." Alisa waved. 

   The Elders left the pier and made their way to the carriages that were waiting to take them home.

    A gong sounded. "Alora! Listen up, children!" 

     All the heirs turned around to see Conte Claudio standing behind them with a gong in one hand and a hammer in the other.

    "Rule number one," The Conte started, "No-one, and I mean no-one, is to leave the ship without permission from the school director."

    "And, uh, where is he?" Lars asked.

 The Conte raised his hand and looked at them, raising his eyebrows.

   "Is it - Is it you?" Lars asked, with a slight mocking tone. 

   "Yes. Yes it is me." The Conte answered. Malcom snickered. "Great!" Lars chuckled, grinning. 

    "All shadow vampires to your chores! And all heirs," The Conte ordered, banging the hammer on the gong a few times, "follow me to the classroom." 

   He lead the way below deck.

   As Lars passed Alisa on the way to the stairs, they looked at each other before he made his way down. 

   Below deck, they entered a big room with desks and chairs to the side. 

    Alisa sat at the desk opposite Lars.

  "Children, you're going to learn to focus your strength. Teach and use each other's birth powers. The Noaidi have shown us the way. First, I introduce to you, your subject numero uno, desanctification." Conte Claudio explained, "Your teacher..." He walked over and lead his son to the centre of the room. "My son, Luciano." 

     "Hi." Luciano waved.

  Alisa smiled at him. 

    "I've asked Signore Umberto di Nosferas to help me tonight. He's born the first generation." Luciano said, gesturing to the door which swung open. 

   A man walked in caring a bag and a case.

   "Grazie, Luciano." Umberto said, placing his things on the teacher's desk.  He turned round again and looked at the heirs.

    "Children," Umberto said, "take out your notebooks."

  The heirs looked puzzled for a moment before Inger opened the lid to her desk and the rest copied her.  

     "Lesson number one. Desanctification, also known as deholyfication. Pay attention, it can save your life." Umberto said turning back to his case and started chanting in Italian. When he stopped, he turned round and held up a cross.

    Fangs popped out and hisses and snarls filled the room.

  "Luciano, will you do the honours?" Umberto asked, holding out the cross to the young boy. 

   Luciano started chanting in Italian and Alisa hissed, eyes wide.

  Luciano took hold of the cross. "Ta-da!" He said, "Look." He waved the cross in front of Inger who hissed. 

     "It's alright, it won't hurt you." Luciano was saying.

   While he was talking, Malcolm leaned forward and whispered to Lars, "Hey, do you want to leave? Or do you care what your dad thinks?" 

    "I don't care what my dad thinks." Lars whispered back fiercely, hurt and anger lacing his tone.

  "Alright then, the Dracas have the Vikla's telekinesis power don't they?" Malcolm asked. Lars nodded. "Well, use that power to get us out of here." Malcom said, nodding to the case on the teacher's desk.

    Lars turned and focused on the case, lifting up his hand slightly and started moving the case. After a few seconds, it fell with a crash.

   Everyone turned to look at it, startled. Luciano, Umberto and Conte Cluadio went over and started picking things up.

     Lars and Malcom slipped out of their seats and got by unnoticed except for one person... Alisa.

 Lars noticed and stopped at the door while Malcolm went ahead.

     "You'd better keep your mouth shut... Vamalia." He glared at her before disappearing after Malcolm.

   Alisa looked at the spot where he just stood before turning her attention back to the commotion at the front.
