The picture is of one of the new characters being added in this chapter.

Mitchel sat next to Andrea in Social Studies. He was busy writing down something. Andrea moved towards him to see it.

When she looked at it, she saw a partially drawn pictures of her. She smiled. "That's really good."

Mitchel's face turned bright pink. "T-thanks." He stammered.

Andrea smiled at him, and then looked up as the teacher walked in.

He had dark hair with yellow eyes. His skin was on the darker side, and he had stitches on his neck, though she only noticed them when he pulled on the neck of the beige turtleneck. He wore black jeans and beige dress shoes. He eyed Andrea, and then smiled.

"My name is Dr. James, but everyone calls me Frank."

"Andrea Marks." She said, shaking his hand.

He smiled at her, and then his eyes widened. He motioned towards someone, and Andrea looked to see who it was.

A boy with silvery hair stood there. His eyes were the same colors as Frank's, and he too had stitches. However, the stitches crossed over his face. He wore a shirt sleeve greenish shirt. He held out his hand, in which Andrea took. When she looked down at it, she realized it too had stitches around it, but they were around the wrist.

"This is my son, Aristide."

Aristide nodded. "It's nice to meet you, what is your name?"

"My name is Andrea."

Aristide grinned. "What a beautiful name. Quite literally though, as the name means 'beautiful lady'."

Andrea blushed. "T-t-thank you."

Mitchel walked over. "Hey Aristide. How's your day been?"

"Good, what about yours, Mitchel?"

"Great! I've been showing this squirt around campus." He said, rubbing Andrea's head.

Andrea felt her face flush red, probably out of embarrassment.

Mitchel seemed to notice because he took his hand off of her head and was looking at her sympathetically. Andrea gave him a shy smile and then looked away.

Suddenly, Andrea felt someone sniffing her neck again. She narrowed her eyes and held up her hand. She then twisted away round and hit whoever was sniffing her neck. Troy stood there, a surprised look on his face, holding his left cheek.

"Sorry, but I don't like it when people do that."

Troy bit the bottom of his lip. When he took his teeth away, Andrea noticed two puncture wounds on his lip. Andrea walked over and touched it. "You hurt yourself."

Troy gave a sly smile. "You seem more willing to be near me now."

Andrea felt chills go down her spine. "Troy, leave the poor girl alone."

Andrea turned around to see a girl standing there. She had long, darker brown hair, darker eyes, and tan skin. She was wearing a brown, flowy tank top with blue shorts.

Troy scoffed. "Leyna, what are you doing bossing me around?"

Leyna scoffed. "Like you have any reason not to be bossed around. You are a loose cannon when it comes to...them." She said that as she motioned her head towards Andrea.

Andrea raised an eyebrow. The girl turned to look at her. "You can thank me later, kid."

Troy sighed. "Next time then, hmm?"

Andrea felt fear paralyze her body. What was this guy's deal? Mitchel put his hand on her shoulder. "I'll protect you, alright?"

Andrea nodded. Perhaps her guardian angel was looking out for her.

Frank chuckled. "Ah, the good hearted monsters, all looking out for each other."

Andrea nodded. "Teenagers are like monsters, huh?"

As she looked at everyone, their faces were pale. Had she said something wrong? She cleared her throat. "Sorry, guess I spoke out of turn."

Aristide scoffed. "You did no such thing, Andrea. No need to worry, my father just something out of turn."

Andrea nodded, not believing him, but trying to. Perhaps moving would be weirder than she thought it would be.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Vincent sat in his office, his eyes closed. The door opened and Frank walked in. "You wanted to see me?"

"Frank, as you know, we have a human at our school now that does not know the existence of 'us', so you must watch your tongue."

"Of course, McCloud."

Vincent sighed. "I'm sorry, Frank. We've been friends for centuries, but I just need you to understand the gravity of the situation. I have my son acting as Guardian over her, naturally. So, I just-"

"Jacob and Troy have taken an interest."

Vincent closed his mouth. "Both of them?"

"Yes. Though, we both know which one we need to watch out for."

"We can't allow that boy to get too close. Worse case scenario, I call in the big C."

"What is with your kind and calling him Cupid? And besides, I doubt she has any feelings for him. If she had any feelings for the Vamp, then we'd be fine."

"Yes. Frank, do you know why she is so important to us?"

"No, though, will you tell me?"

"Yes, but you must keep this on the down low."

Vincent explained why, and Frank's eyes widened. "Why would they choose to have her come here? Do they know we are here?"

"It's very likely."

"Vincent, you are playing a dangerous game, you know that?"

McCloud nodded. "I know, but we have to have them here, to control the others."

"Because you Angels can't control them yourselves? Vincent, you know how corruptible human souls are-"

"Which is why I have her here. I explained to my son everything to know about the family, and why we have to keep her in the school. You get that, right?"

Frank nodded. "You have to tell a select group of students though, alright?"

Vincent sighed. "Give me the names."

"Aristide, Troy, Michal, Zoe, Fai, Leyna, Charlotte, and Estal."

Vincent scoffed. "I see some sketchy names in there."

"Yes, but you trust them all, right?"

McCloud sighed. "They are the best of their species."

Frank nodded. "There's two werewolves though; alpha and beta."

"Yes, I know. Let's see: Aristide, man made human. Troy, Prince of Vampires. Michal, Alpha of the local Werewolf pack. Leyna, Beta of the same Werewolf pack. Zoe, Sea Serpent. Fai, fairy of Sunshine. Charlotte, Witch of Dreams. And, finally, Estal, Prince of the Royal elf family."

Frank nodded. "Very trustworthy. I think they can be trusted with information like this."

Vincent sighed. "They will know, then. Go get them for me, Frank. Get my son as well, please."

Frank nodded. He got out of the chair and left to go get them. As soon as he left, Vincent started mumbling to himself. "It would be hard to hide her true identity for very long, anyways. Monster Hunters have very strong souls."

So, what'd you think? Do you like the implementation of Andrea's family occupation, or no? Also, what do you think of the characters that will know this? More will be added in, naturally, but for now, I think that is enough for the time being.

Oh, try to suggest a good, male, Wizard name. I can't think of one, so please try to suggest one!
