“WELCOME ONE, WELCOME ALL” exclaimed the booming voice from the PA system “WELCOME TO PROFESSOR ZUSSER’S SCHOOL FOR EXTREMELY FREAKY YOUNGSTERS, I AM PROFESSOR ZUSSER” the man who was holding the mic on the large stage grinned. He was tall with long black hair; he wore a tall black top hat, and a long black cape.
†˜What’s with all the black’ Sam thought to herself †˜I guess he’s a vampire, or is he a werewolf’
†˜No I’m pretty sure he’s a vampire’ Sam heard another voice in her head; she turned and looked at William he was of medium height, only slightly taller than Sam, who wasn’t that tall to begin with. He wore the school uniform, a black dress shirt with a red tie, a black blazer and black pants.
†˜Yep definitely too much black’ Sam thought
†˜You think so’ William thought †˜I kind of like it.’ Sam didn’t say (or think) anything, she just turned back to look at the front, where Prof. Zusser was getting a little to into his speech, he was pacing back and forth throwing his hands to and fro, saying something about how even if we weren’t human we still had a home here. He seemed to be the kind of man who was old and wise, but just didn’t act that way.
†˜Man what a freaky guy’ Ash thought, he was still pretty close to the front, and the mic was turned up to high and he didn’t like it, he flipped his black hair out of his eye †˜thou I have to admit the uniform is pretty cool.’
In a dark corner of the room stood a tall man with a lab coat and long white hair, he was smiling. †˜Ooooo look’s like a fine bunch this year’ he thought †˜I wonder if I’ll get to open any of them up’ his smile widened and he licked his lips very quickly as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
“AND THAT IS WHY I’M NO LONGER LEAGALLY ALOUD IN GERMANY, WELL THAT’S IT FOR TODAY, EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT TO HOMEROOM, DISSMISSED” as Prof. Zusser finished his speech everyone quickly ran from the room, for most of the older students knew that Zusser had a habit of random story telling, no matter what everyone else is doing.
“Would you like me to carry you madam” said William to Sam as the both left the large assembly room. He was being completely serious, and he asked this question to her all the time.
“No William, I have two legs that aren’t broken I think I can walk” said Sam she was getting a little tired of William asking that, and if everyone else saw the two of them.
†˜I would just die’ she thought to herself.
“That would be quite unfortunate” said William aloud, with very little emotion in his voice, he smiled at Sam.
“You would like it if I died” said Sam scowling at William.
“Of course not madam” said William “thou it has been a while since I ate anything, you think someone will die here soon”
“Who knows” Sam said shrugging, she heard people did die here from time to time, but no one really cared or payed it much mind.
“You think anyone at this school can predict the future” said William, being completely serious.
“Probably” said Sam “there are all sorts of freaky people here, or at least that’s what I heard.” They walked in silence as William cleared a path through the large crowed of people, Sam tried to keep her head down so no one would see here and remember her as the girl who had some guy clear her a path through the hall, they arrived at their homeroom fairly quicly, the seating chart was written up on the white bored.
“Ummm madam” said William in a confused voice “where is my seat.”
“Since you’re my familiar demon, we are considered one person, so you can just stand in the back” said Sam in an ice cold voice, that’s what he gets for embarrassing her in the hall.
“You can be very cold madam” said William disappointed. The door to the room suddenly burst open, and in walked a tall man wearing a lab coat, he also had long white hair and glasses.
“Everyone sit, sit” he said has he clapped his hands, everyone sat in their respected seats. Sam was sitting in the very back and in front of her was a somewhat tall boy with shoulder length black hair; he kept tossing his head to one side for some reason. The teacher look around the room writing on a clip bored but stopped looking at Sam.
“You in the back” said the teacher in the front, he pointed right at Sam.
“Who me” said Sam, with little interest in her voice, pointing at herself.
“No not you” said the teacher “I mean him.” Sam turned, and of course he was refereeing to William, who was leaning up against the wall right behind Sam.
“Yes” said William in a cool, smooth voice.
“What’s your name” said the teacher.
“William” he said in an equally cool voice, all the girls (except Sam) sighed a little.
“Last name” said the teacher, a little annoyed
“I don’t have one” William said, so cool and smooth his word might as well have been made of ice. The teacher looked up from his clip bored.
“You don’t have one” said the teacher raising an eyebrow; he obviously thought William was screwing with him.
“That’s right” said William in flat tone.
“I don’t like a smart ass kid” said the teacher, who had put down his clip bored.
“I am neither above normal intelligence or a donkey” said William with a completely straight face.
“What was that kid” said the teacher, you could see a vein or two popping in his head.
†˜Hey maybe someone will die’ Sam thought towards William †˜probably you, if you don’t stop being such a smart ass.’
†˜I apologize madam if you found my humor to be unfunny’ thought William.
†˜That was supposed to be funny’ Sam thought to herself.
“I apologize sir” William finally said aloud after a few seconds of extremely thick tension “my name is William, and I am Lady Samantha’s familiar, and was not given a seat, and that is why I am standing in the back.” He said all this without missing a beat or breaking eye contact with the teacher, who was quite intimidating considering he was a good six inches taller than William.
“I see” said the teacher sounding like he was about to explode “well glad we got that cleared up” he said in and oddly cheerful tone “sorry we’ll find you a desk Mr. William, you don’t mind standing for today do you.”
William, somehow not caught off guard by the sudden mood change said “that will be fine sir” and he smiled his award winning smile.
†˜Yep he’s definitely a demon’ Sam thought to herself. But what the hell was up with the other guy, was he just screwing with William now, or did he just have mood swings.
“Well now that William has got the ball rolling” said the teacher still acting rather cheerful, even thou he looked like we was ready to rip out William’s stomach and feed it to him a second ago “we’ll do introductions, hooray.”
†˜Hooray, seriously’ Sam thought to herself †˜hey William do you know of any monsters that suddenly change from super hostile one second to kind of gay the next’
†˜I am not aware of any madam’ he thought.
“I’ll start” said the teacher “I’m Dr. Stein, the science teacher.” A hand suddenly shot up from near the front of the room, it was a rather large guy.
“Is your first name Frank” said the boy snickering to himself, obviously thinking he had just made a funny joke, that everyone else had already thought of, and before anyone could see anything Dr. Stein was right in the boys face.
“My first name is David” he said, you could almost see the fire coming off of him.
†˜Great another mood swing’ Sam thought †˜maybe he has a split personality.’
“I’m a Doppelganger” said Stein getting out of the boys face, who was now curled up in his desk out of fear “but I decide to fuse both I and my twin, John, into one body” he said this with a big creepy smile on his face he pushed his nose slightly up his nose slightly.
†˜Split personality, doppelganger that fused his other half to himself, same thing’ Sam thought in a sarcastic tone.
“Now” he said in a loud commanding voice that made everyone in the room shiver a bit “who would like to go next, come on don’t be shy” he looked around the room and then pointed at the boy who he had just scared for life “you” he said.
“Would you please introduce yourself to the class” he said in the cheerful voice, with a big, nice, smile on his face.
“Ummm sure” said the boy, still a bit frightened, but Stein just kept on smiling. There were a lot of weird monsters in this class; there was a Gorgon girl, who everyone suddenly looked away from when she said that. There was a wolf boy, not a werewolf he told us that was different apparently, there was a kid who had some kind of physic powers, †˜I’m sure William will make friends with him’ Sam thought, and then it was time for the boy in front of Sam to go, he stood up.
“Please give us your name and what kind of monster you are, or power you have if you’re not a monster, and that’s all right if you’re not, no discrimination people” said nice Stein, everyone sighed a little.
“I’m Ash Reature” said the boy in a loud voice “and I am a Shinigami, as they call it in my country, or more of you may know me as a Grim Reaper” he said all this and immediately sat back down; everyone in the room was staring at him.
†˜Wow a real grim reaper’ thought Sam †˜hey William doesn’t that make him your boss or something’
†˜No, demons do not serve reaper like that, sometimes we will assists them if it is in our favor, but more often than not we are fighting, because they usually steal our food’ said William in a matter of fact tone.
“Ooo very interesting” said Stein “I wonder what your insides look like” he had that creepy grin on his face again, but Ash didn’t say a thing. Stein’s smile faded when he saw not reaction out of Ash.
“Anyway” said Stein, still in creepy mode “next, please introduce yourself, blah blah blah.” Sam rose from her chair.
“My name is Samantha Palmer” said Sam, she took a breath, she was kind of nervous to say this last part, but “and I’m a human.” Everyone in the room stopped, no one moved, even Stein was obviously in shock, and then everyone exploded.
“What the hell, a human”
“Why’d they let a human in here?”
“Wait she has a familiar doesn’t that make her wizard or something?”
“Nope” Sam said “just a normal human” she smiled and there was a long pause with everyone just giving that her †˜you’re joking, right’ look, then someone broke the silence.
“Lets eat her” and before anyone could respond a boy jump from his seat right at Sam, but Sam didn’t move a muscle, because before the boy even got close, a fist had already connected with his face. The boy fell to the floor and was bleeding from his nose, and then an arm wrapped itself around Sam.
“Are you alright madam” said William.
“Yes William” said Sam in the kind of voice most people would say †˜yes mom’.
“Good then” he said and turned to the class.
“Now all of you listen and listen good” he said as if he were commanding an army and not a classroom “none of you are to lay a finer on Lady Samantha, because if anyone’s going to eat her” he licked Samantha face “it’s going to be me.” Sam’s face felt as red and hot as the sun, and everyone was looking at them; all the girls were squealing and all the guys were probably ready to kill William or eat Sam.
†˜Yep’ Sam thought †˜I’m going to die’
†˜Don’t worry’ William thought †˜I’ll protect you.’
†˜Oh great, but you still want to eat my immortal soul don’t you’ Sam thought.
†˜That was the deal’ William thought sill gazing out to the classroom, still holding Sam in his arms.
†˜Yeah that’s what I thought’
