Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter One

Castle of Myths
Alex couldn't wait, it had been a whole summer since she had seen the love of her life, Darren Leonard. "Dammit...where is that stupid bus.." She muttered as she waited in front of the school with the welcome committee which sadly included Diana. Well the reason why she hadn't taken the bus this year was because she swam, she had so many things to do this summer she couldn't even visit Darren.

She sighed, it was all in the life of a sea nymph...though she dreaded this year. She was going to have to tell him. Tell him who she really was. She was surprised he hadn't found out who she was yet though. He had the book of monsters.

The thoughts of worry were soon lost in excitement as the bus came through the portal and started to pull up in the front.

Alex waited and watched as all the monsters started walking out and taking out luggage from the underneath compartment.

Her smile broadened as she finally saw a pale skinned, red eyed, black hair vampire walk off the bus with his same old ratty suitcase. Well half vampire.

"Darren!" His head snapped over to her direction and he smiled back at her, joy filled his face. He ran over to her, hugging her and picking her up. Even spinning her around, he ten kissed her on the lips. "Alex!" He shouted.

Some people stared at them, but they didn't care. They stared lovingly into each other's eyes. "God I missed you..." Alex said.

Darren chuckles, "and I love you too." She grinned up at him.

"Come on...I have a surprise for you..." she started dragging him towards the dorms.

"But what about my room number and stuff? Don't I need it?" She shook her head.

"I already got that stuff settled." She then pulled him to one of the doors and unlocked it...inside was a bed for two and then a giant fish bowl with an aquarium built into the wall. Darren just stared in shock. "Surprise!" She yelled as she smiled up at him. "You like it?" She then wrapped her arms around his neck.
