//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: My Pet Nightshine // by TwiPON3 //------------------------------// The next day, I woke Nightshine up at 5:30 and let out for school. Everfree School was known for being... kinky... in some aspects. Neither of us took too terribly long to get ready, so it wasn't too long before we left. "Nightshine," I said, unfurling my wings, "Have you ever flew before?" "Some." "Do you want to follow me?" "How high do we go?" "Maybe five or so stories in the air." Nobody in town had a problem with me being a vampire for the most part, so long as I didn't do anything disgusting in front of them (blood, wink wink), but my eyes were a different story. Dark midnight blue, their natural color, made people think I was looking in their soul. Red, well, I hope that, for Christ's sakes, you know what it means. AKA, I'm hungry. Eyes usually weren't a problem, as I liked to wear my blue glasses. Nightshine's midnight coat, black mane, and eyes were truly a sight to behold, but when they turned red was when things got interesting. When we arrived at school, things were normal until I got to homeroom/first period Anatomy, where Mr Gregorius had a bottle of Holy Water. "If I suspect ANYTHING, Midnight Fang, I will use this." "Mace for vampires," I said, taking my seat with Nightshine following me. "What. Is that," he asked. "He is Nightshine." "Then I have some for the devil-animal, too." "Can we just get on with the lesson?" "Very well," he said, moving a beaker to the side of his desk, "Come and draw some blood." So you can use the ALMIGHTY CLEANSING POWER on me? This is one of the reasons I don't go to church. "Sure," I said, going and slitting my wrist, causing blood to squirt out everywhere, "Happy?" I said as he freaked out, along with people who felt they were in my vicinity. "No, dammit!" Thirty seconds later, the slit had completely healed, "Am I done for the day?" "How old are you again?" "One hundred forty-three." "Whatever. You're in high school, so you should know better than to slit your wrists like that!" "Fuck you, too." Ms Auxilium came into the room, "What's going on in here?" "I would say to guess, but knowing you..." "Go to the principal!" "I'll leave this shithole," I turned to Nightshine, "Come on, dude." She watched as both of us left for the principal, but when I turned the corner, one of the hot-shot jock-boys held a knife to me. "Hey!" a teacher said, "Give that here!" "After I stab this asshole." "Oh," he said, walking away, "Carry on, then." He stabbed me repeatedly with the shraded kitchen knife, but did, predictably, no harm. "Are you done yet?" I said, punching him in the face and knocking him out, not to mention giving Nightshine and myself a little treat from his nose and mouth, "I swear this guy does steroids," I said as we finished our walk to the principal's office. "I understand you have had a problem, yet again, in class," Principal Summus said, "And get that monster out of here. One of you is bad enough!" "Yes, and I'd like to transfer to Canterlot City High School as a result." "Sign here, here, here, and here and I'll have Miss Surgawi notified while you are doing that." As I did the paperwork, he talked on the phone, mentioning vampire, demon, and bat, then handed it to me, "She wishes to speak to you." "Hello?" I said, returning the forms. "Midnight, I am Principal Celestia of Canterlot City High. I understand that you want to be a wondercolt?" "Essentially." "Well, I've heard of your problems at Everfree Schools, but I think you'll do just fine here. Can you stop by later today so we can discuss more?" "Yes." "Your pet is also welcome anytime he wishes to come with you as well." "Thank you," I said smiling. "How does lunchtime sound for you?" "That's fine. Would it be okay if I came and had a look at the campus until then?" "That would be quite alright. On a sidenote, I believe you and my sister Luna would get along like siblings. She is a vampire as well." "I'll be right over." "I'll see you then," she said as the line clicked. "Nightshine!" I said, picking him up, "We're getting out of this hellhole!" "Yes!"
