I sit on the edge of the pool, my feet dangling in the water- thinking.

Juniour sits in the high lifeguard chair- his eyes roving over the pool.

You're probably clueless. Let me explain.

Right now, I'm in swimming class. All the Juniors are here, with a Senior supervising. Complements of the Student Council.

So far my life sucks. This is what my second month here- halfway through the term and so far I've been attacked by ghouls, witches, a succubus, a dog demon, a vampire and an A- class shape shifter.

The latter Zade and Juniour helped me with.

My life sucks, huh?

I'm healed from Darius- that was around three weeks ago. I still se the triplets- a lot though.

My eyes land on Zade who's weaving through the crowd- occasionally stopped by a group of students. Isn't he popular?

He finally finds the edge of the pool and dives in and goes under.

The next thing I know elbows are on my legs, is elbows supporting his face "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just tired. I'm tired of things trying to eat me, sacrifice me, torture me, kill me, drinking my blood or trapping me in the forest," I sigh.

"Get over it, you can fight. The agreement we made was any S- class or any monster ranked B- class and above, VJ and I would kill," he replies. Or Ika, I think to myself.

"I know but-"

"But what? You're bored and you hate it here," he says. It was an understatement.

"Yes and yes,"

He grins "Good, just in time too, because you're surprise is today,"

My head snaps around "What?" I sat icily.

"Remember, first day of school when we fought?" Again, an understatement.

"yes," (See Chapter 6)

"What did you pick, Mira?"

"Wait, I thought you meant electric shock therapy or you were joking!"

"No," he says looking me straight in the eye.

I can feel nasty glares on me. Why? IDK.

Someone's watching me.

"Little girl, I'm going to electrocute you," Zade says looking at me - emotionless.

I swallow.

"This is your punishment" he continues coldly "so enjoy your last living 15 minutes, okay?" he finishes- back to being happy.

I swear he might be bipolar or really good at masking emotions. I don't know anyone who I so good at switching emotions.

"Wait can I ask you something? Why is everyone staring at me?"

"Eh," he shrugs "I'm a bit popular, and I'm talking to the newbie," with that he disappears under water.

* * *

The time flies by too quickly for my liking.

The pool is almost empty- except us three.

Now you probably think that -THIS IS INSANE! RUN MIRA!

but I'm used to it. This is my siblings way of training me. I have combat and weaponry sessions with Mama and Papa but Zade and Vlad- they add another element- surprise. Always finding new ways to try to kill me. This is their way of training me to see if I've become stronger. My whole family's crazy, eh?

They always hold back, but its always fun.

Suddenly, they're in front of me.

"Ready?" Zade says gleefully.

I shrug "Eh,"

"You two are crazy," Vlas sighs.

"You really are obtuse brother," Zade says "Any ways here are the rules. You have one hour to complete this exercise. Rule one No DYING! Rule two NO CHEATING!" he says eyeing me.

I smirk I've done it before.

"Rule three- NO DYING and have fun. Juniour the Ignatius and I will be watching in case this exercise gets too hard for you. Your time starts now!"

They disappear but not before Vlad smacks Zade under the head.

The pool is surrounded by high razor- wired fences. No climbing for sure. Although, escape is cheating I don't care.

Maintenance shack. Nope locked. I walk over to the sliding doors, leading back inside, locked too.

I hear a bang and turn, scooping up a small baby cute brown bird. It hit the glass. I grasp it gently and walk over to the pool, glanced at it and threw it in.

Before, it can hit the water, there's sizzling, cackling and screeching. It's dead in mere seconds.

I know that it seems heartless. Don't judge me!

It was either it or me! Nothing is what it seems in the monster world. It was a demon. You need to kill them while they're cute or else they transform into ugly creatures and start killing everything in sight.

There's a rumble and I duck dodging weapons. I flip back as the ground I'm standing on opens up. Acid bubbling. Yuck!

Soon I'm up against the sliding doors again but instead of leaning on hard cold metal, warm firm flesh. I turn around slowly.

A guy- punk goth with piercing all over his face and a huge scar running diagonally across it stands there. Damn he's ugly!

"You will come with me peacefully or I'll you. Make trouble and I kill you,"

Who does he think he is ordering me around?

"Are you serious?" I ask normally not the least bit afraid. His face says it all.

"You know you don't have to kill me," I say fear suddenly in my voice.. I love faking it!

"So you'll come quietly then?" he says. His eyes say disappointment. Too easy.

"What I meant was you don't have to kill me. Your ugliness will do it. Just looking at you I can feel bile rising in my throat and a heart attack coming on,"

He grabs me pushing me backwards. I let myself drop and kick him sending him over my head.

Two drop kicks later. I take of for the life guard chair.

He appears "This is too easy you're cornered like a dog,"

"Oh no, the horror!" I say my hands on my cheeks in mock horror. Yes, yes I am cocky right now.

"I'll teach you yet," his fist lashed out, snapping the thick lumber. I see fangs. This guy had to have at least A-level strength for a vampire. I think to myself dodging as all the beams break- which ever I'm behind- one by one.

"Quit moving!"

"Where's the fun in that," I pout.

Finally, the fool does as I wish. I whip off piece of the chair. Stake sized.

Where are Zade and VJ? This is bad.

I dodge and somehow manage to stab him in the chest. He collapses.

I turn around and end up flying, landing on the edge of the pool- careful not to fall in.

"Did you really think that would kill me!" he taunts, ripping out the makeshift stake.

No I didn't! At least, I thought it would incapacitate him long enough for me to run.

Big mistake.

He walk towards me slowly. Him in front, the pool behind. Now I know what death on both sides and being caught between a rock and a hard place means. No escape!

He lunges at me. I do the only thing I can.

Jump to the side! I watch as he lands in the pool.

Sparks flying. His screams.

The body floats to the surface, face down. Still sparking.

I swear at him, dodge a few more Zade traps and exit through  the door. Locking it behind me.

When I get to the room im sharing with Zade I change out of my one piece and sit on the bed waiting for the hour to elapse.
