that’s a fight

Outside of glares and some whispers the class room quieted and the studies began.

Violet would stay in this class for the first half of the day. There were different professors rotating with the different subjects. She'll have lunch and then two different classes and after lunch she had a free period and two other classes but they would be in different rooms, unlike the first part of the day.

In her first class she learned a lot about vampire history. Like she had no idea that

the reason vampires burn in the sun is because the direct sunlight dehydrates

the skin making it almost translucent which magnifies their blood boiling it and because their blood is thick like oil it will eventually catch fire. Therefore roasting them. Purebloods could do extremely cloudy days for short durations, but they'd start to feel the heat after a few hours of clouded exposure.

The anatomy of a vampire was what I expected. Because I attended human school only really interacted with vampires blood related to me because of their natural resistance to my blood. So there was never really a need to teach me all the finer details of vampire anatomy. But now I should know, I'll be their queen. I learned the reason they need to drink blood isn't because they eat it like food it acts as a transfusion of a kind. The blood gets old and clotty when no new blood enters their blood stream which then can cause pain and irritation and they can become irrational with the thirst to satisfy the pain of their blood clogging.

Oliver said it feels like choking to death.

Makes sense.

After the first half of classes are done with Oliver, he walks with Violet to the cafeteria. Where they find Ash and Jeremy waiting for them at the entrance.

"You fucking bit her in school Oliver? Are you stupid or something? What the fuck makes you think that's a good idea." Ash screaming at him in the hallway.

"I was only playing." Oliver replied nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.

Ash rips his arm from around Violet yanking her by the arm away from Oliver and closer to him and Jeremy.

"Don't do it again Oliver or Gabriel will be pissed" Jeremy said "and now we have to worry about all the students here having a death wish and drinking from her."

"You really think, they would think, that her blood is worth the risk of their lives." Oliver said surprised.

"Are you dumb? She's not mated yet. If someone takes her and fucks her and gets her pregnant. We lose her. We can only make more purebloods with her. It has to be one of us that mates her." Jeremy said condescendingly.

"You know you're acting a lot like Gabriel right now, Jeremy. I get it. I just, ya know, made it more interesting here, didn't I?" Oliver chuckled.

Jeremy just rolled his eyes and walked away putting his hands in his pockets.

"If something happened to her it's your fault, idiot" Ash warned, he had a rough growl in his tone.

Violet has just stood by quietly clinging closely to Ash's back side holding him by

his shirt.

All of this has just been so terrifying for her. She closers her eyes and pulls herself together. She was surprisingly so hungry, even after all that happened, she could eat a whole cow.

She lets go of Ash and looks up at the two vampires arguing in front.

"Hey, guys, who's hungry? I know I am, I am so hungry, let's go grab some food from the cafeteria" just staring at them sweetly with her innocent smile she holds her hands together in front of her uniform before she takes both of the sleeves of their blazers and says "please, let's go" and pulls them through the lunch room doors. The jerk forward surprised the brother, they weren't used to her acting like that. They just look at each other and let her drag them into the cafeteria.

The entire lunchroom goes quiet at the sight of her dragging in the pureblood princes by their blazers. Only stopping once realizing everyone's staring, she stiffens in response.

Sensing her anxiety they both grip her hands and walk with her to the lunch line. Everyone was amazed by the intimacy the two of them were expressing with this tiny human. Still pretty anxious from all the unwanted eyes on her, at least being between the two of them makes her feel safer. Oliver may be one of her tormentors. But no one can hurt her when they're around.

Only they can hurt her. She shudders at the thought.

She was so anxious from the unwanted eyes, that she hadn't noticed that both men were now touching either side of her with their cold bodies sending shivers down her spine.

She walks with them to the counter and sees the buffet of options before her. She now knew that vampires didn't need human food, but enjoyed it so they ate human food quiet often. She picks the braised pork with mashed potatoes with a gravy and a brownie as her desert and coffee as her drink. Violet very pleased with her lunch her smile radiated happiness. Both of them just noticing how cute she is when she's happy, and she was happiest about the simplest of things. Like

coffee and a brownie. They check out at the register and head to their corner table where Jeremy was seated waiting with his own lunch.

They all sit surrounding her like her own personal guards. They really did intend to

keep her safe from the others in the cafeteria.

This made the girls in the room jealous. Not every vampire knew a maiden had finally returned to them, so the prince's were currently unavailable for mating. It was messing up their chances to raise their status and marry a prince of night. The other girls in the room felt she was their biggest threat and were desperate to eliminate her.

There was one more week before the full moon, before they can even have a chance at getting her pregnant. Maidens will give birth to more purebloods and have an increased chance of birthing another maiden. The fact one has resurfaced after all these year give the few remaining purebloods hope. The more maidens, the more mates, the more mates the more purebloods. So much was riding on her it was such an overbearing burden, to think their fate was riding on her and others who may be born like her..

And then the wolf clan enters the lunchroom.

"Well boys I thought vampires didn't mess around with lowly humans?" Teased the young alpha heir.

Ash and Oliver growl. Jeremy takes the lead on this one and stands up.

"What we do with whoever we do it with, is our business and not for little puppy dogs like you Amos."

Violet was amazed to see Jeremy show any emotion, he smirked, he actually smirked.

That comment pissed the young alpha Amos off. "What? I can't ask questions?" The young alpha heir wolf said sneering. He was baiting the brothers.

"Of course you can, but you do remember m what they said about the cat?" Jeremy said his smirk getting bigger.

"Oh and enlighten us what do they say about the cat, Jeremy?" The wolf asked chuckling thinking he was so smart. Amos was arrogant.

"That curiosity killed it, Amos." Jeremy now full on grin.

It was honestly the scariest grin Violet's ever seen.

"Did you just fucking threaten me?" Amos said his voice sounding harsh, his growl deep.

"It's just a story Amos, why are you so upset?" Jeremy now baiting him.

"I'm not, I'm just amazed how vampires could stoop so low as to fuck human whores."

Amos's words made Violet wince. It hurt her fragile heart to be called such mean names. Until recently no one had ever treated her like this. She's never done a thing to anyone here, why do they keep wanting to hurt her? She just couldn't understand what their reason for hating her so much.

Oh shit now he's done it. He shouldn't have insulted Violet.

Ash stands up and flips the table dropping all their lunch on the floor. Violet terrified and now sadden by her food falling to the floor.

"I'll fuck you up you call her a whore again, mangy mutt" Ash rage in his eyes.

Oliver now upset about wearing some of his lunch stands up. "Not only do you insult my pet, but you got my jacket dirty, I just can't let those things go so easily."

"What are you going to do about it pretty boy?" Amos and his group start to laugh. They didn't expect the vampires to actually react.

"Since you asked" Oliver blinked and was standing nose to nose with the young alpha. Amos stumbles back a step and then tries to swing but Oliver ducks and Amos face is introduced to Ash's right hook, busting his lip. Amos wipes blood off his mouth and smiles at his wolves and at us. Then the wolves attack. They extend their claws, snarling and the vampires extend their fangs and nails. Both. Coming a more deadly predator. The students around them move their table and seats away giving them space. And Jeremy just stands there next to her, ready protect her from any harm. When he thinks of her in danger its sets this primal urge on fire to destroy anything that comprises her safety. She belong to him. To us.

She was theirs.

The fight only happens for a few moments before the other vampires stand up and walk closer. Tired of the wolves presence in their lunchroom the wolves sense the stir in room. Punching Oliver once before pushing them away and leaving.

"This isn't finished pretty boys." Amos said as he walked out.
