One awake, two asleep. That's the way it has always been in the coven. These few centuries would be his turn. He adorned a sheep skin leather jacket with holes at shoulder blade height in the back of it. He was going to go to school to get an update on today's humans. He grabbed a backpack and his filled backpack.
The weight from the books and utensils didn't seem to weigh him down in the least. He sighed as he walked out. The other people in his house gave him a fond farewell as he passed each of them. He was not a morning person. He hated waking up in the morning actually. He could only guess that partially his reason was that he was a most ancient of vampire.
He made his way to the sidewalk and walked to the human school. As he passed the groups of kids he overheard them talking about him.
"What's the deal with that guy? He new?" one guy asked.
A girl replied "Other than being pale he looks to be quite the looker. Not to mention he looks good in that leather."
She giggled with her other female friends in the group. He sighed.
"Humans...."

"So what do you think?" A red headed male looked over at a shorter Asian girl. She looked at him and made a face. She looked down and sighed.
"I'm not sure, Jun." She started, "I just don't know if they'll even want to see me."
"But you wanted them to come to our concert, right?" Jun questioned with a smile. The young Asian female sighed and nodded, finally giving in.
"I'll go by their house later and talk to them. Why do you even care though?"
Jun shrugged, carrying both of their bags. "Because, Ji-yoon, I don't like any family fighting like yours has. I mean, I grew up not even knowing mine..." The Asian girl smiled and nodded.
She turned suddenly and began walking backwards, her friend only shook his head at her. "Oh, hi!" She waved to the pale man behind them. "Nice to meet you!!!!!" She seemed like such a child sometimes.

"Hello" he spoke in a bored manner.
He rested his head on his fist and his elbow on his knee, closing his eyes. He would need to keep his strength up to avoid being damaged by the sunlight. He was an elder alright but vampires were vampires.

Ji-yoon shook her head and frowned.
"So... what's up?" She questioned cutely, getting close to him. Jun rolled his eyes and grabbed her shoulder.
"Sorry about her, she's nosy." He shook his head at her, dragging her away.

"Nothing." he replied.
He opened one eye to look over at her as she edged closer to him. When her friend interrupted her he leaned away so as they wouldn't touch him. They would find his body deathly cold to the touch.
As Max was dragged away, the girls that were talking about him approached.
"Um, hello? My name is Yuuko and this is Saiko and Jun. We were all admiring you from across the school yard and were wondering if you're new here handsome?"
At the word handsome, Andrea opened both eyes and stood.
"I am new. Why do you ask?"
"Would you like us to show you around the school? You won't find any better tour guides than us."
He looked between the three of them.
"I guess it couldn't hurt."

Max pouted and slapped Jun's arm.
"You're just mean, you know that?!" She growled. Jun rubbed his arm and shook his head.
"Hey, I'm older than you, you're supposed to respect your elders."
"I don't have to respect you! You're only a year older than me!" Max squealed loudly. Jun grabbed his ears and covered them.
"Ouch. Eesh..." He frowned.

The first girl took one arm and the second took the opposite. The other walked ahead of them to do the main job of pointing out which rooms were what. He made sure to pay attention to what they were saying since he would be here awhile, 2 years if he remembered correctly.
The bell rang for classes to begin and they showed him to his first room.
"Thank you ladies. I think I shall be able to manage from here."
The door was open and the teacher was standing inside already.
"Professor, I'm new. Where should I sit?"

"Right behind Ji-yoon." He stated, not even looking up from his book.
Ji-yoon stood and waved to him, she was the second person on the third row. "Over here!"
She grinned happily.

It was the energetic girl from before. He walked up the aisle of desks and sat down behind her. He got out his books for the class and waited to figure out what they were going to do first. He sighed. It really did seem like this was going to be dull.

Ji-yoon was only in politics for one reason and one reason only... and that was to rant and rave her opinions. She loved arguing her point, which brings to mind why was she a performer? She had to laugh at that thought.
The teacher brought up something that the Korean girl didn't like. "Wait a moment!" She stood and the whole class start laughing. She was going to get into trouble once more.

There was one who didn't laugh. He sat silently in the seat behind the loud girl with a head rested in an open palm, whose elbow was supported on the desk. He wouldn't want to be her after she was finished arguing with a professor. Their purpose here was to learn, not to argue points from the instructor. The instructor has the information written in plain english in front of him so Andrea figured it was more than likely that he was right about whatever she was going to rant about.

Max frowned and sat back down in her seat when the teacher gave her a look. She stretched and sighed. The teacher continued speaking, but this time Max kept her mouth shut. She couldn't get detention tonight. She had a concert later.
"Well there's a test tomorrow!" The teacher confirmed. Max stood with a smile.
"Max!" A call from the doorway made her jump. "Maxie!" She finally looked up to see her friend standing there.
"Hurry up, I have some bad news!" Jun called, concern etched across his face. Max's eyes widened and ran over, forgetting her books.

Andrea sighed as he watched the goings on in front of him. He sat at his desk and used his hidden ears to try and listen in to Max and her friend's conversation to see what was going on. He kept his eyes forward though so as not to alert the teacher that he wasn't paying attention.

The teacher frowned, but concern also lit his eyes when he heard Jun say it was bad news. Max watched her best friend with worried eyes, scared for what it could be.
"Its your younger brother..." Jun began. The red headed male had a lot of friends and one of his friends went to school with Max's younger brother, so he would know if something bad happened to him.
"What about him!?" She squeaked, her face growing paler by the second.
"He..." Jun sighed and then looked down. "He's been in an accident. Someone was speeding down the street by his school and he walked out without realizing there was something coming. He's... not doing so well."
"What do you mean...?" Max sobbed lightly. She lost her grip on the seat next to her and fell to her knees. "Please, Jun... tell me he's okay!"
"I can't, Max... We have to get to the hospital quickly." He frowned, reaching to catch her before she completely blanked out.

Andrea sighed and stood. He looked up the room at the teacher, approaching from his desk to the instructors.
"May I be excused?" he questioned with his usual serious expression on his face.

The teacher looked up from his desk and sighed. He rubbed his temples in annoyance and then waved the young man out.
//
"Come on, Max... you have to stay with me now." Jun frowned, holding his friend's arm firmly. The Asian female drew in short, shaky breaths.
"I-I can't, Jun." She sniffled. "I can't lose him. He means too much to me."
Jun smiled sadly and nodded. "I know."

Andrea walked up to the two of them and picked Ji Yoon up into his arms.
"I think a family emergency more than justifies a leave from class for the day. I shall escort you to see your brother if you wish to see him."

Jun nodded.
"I'll drive." He replied. As much as everyone in their group claimed he was the strongest, he just couldn't bring himself to carrying Ji-yoon. He darted to his car and drove it up to meet Andrea.
"Oh please..." Ji-yoon sniffled, trying to wipe her eyes, but new tears sprang forward again.

Andrea carefully placed Ji Yoon in the car and made sure to buckle her. He then hopped in the other side. As Jun drove, he was weighing a risk in his mind until he decided to speak again.
"Jun, Ji Yoon, what do you two know of vampires?" he questioned out of the blue.

Jun glanced at the other warily, wondering what made the subject popped up. Considering the other was new and not many student knew much about him, he assumed it was normal for him. "Well... the normal myths, why?" He questioned.
Max smiled sadly, figuring the other was trying to take her mind off of the sadness. "Crosses hurt them, garlic doesn't... Um... I know too much to really think of right now..." Max grew silent.

"If a vampire is strong enough, they can build an immunity to crosses. Vampires get stronger with age. Sunlight could work unless they're really ancient and have a human form. Stakes do work but only if through the heart. Beheading has proven effective as well. As for biting to turn a human, it's possible but only if the vampire wills it. Even then the human has to be able to survive the mutation." he spoke.
He turned to look at Max.
"A bite might have a chance of saving your brother if this turns out to be fatal. He would gain all the positives of being a vampire but he would also gain the thirst. Also he would have to learn to control his new powers. The transition is always more difficult than being born a vampire. He would become a halfling really. He would be able to withstand sunlight for a duration. The choice is yours whether you would want him to go through this procedure or not though."

As the explanation continued, a frightening realization passed through Max. Her eyes grew wide and she pressed herself against the door, putting as much space between her and the strange man. "... Please tell me you're joking." She whispered.
Jun's knuckles grew white from gripping the wheel of the car tightly. Suddenly, Max relaxed and watched the man carefully. "You're a vampire then? Or you only know some..." She blinked curiously, seeing if perhaps she could figure him out.

"I am more than just any vampire young friends. I am an elder vampire. I've lived for over 100 centuries, thus why I am resistant to sunlight."
He smiled for the first time, revealing his fangs.
"I'm not here to hurt you. Don't you think I would have by now if that were my intention? The last thing I need to do is harm a human. Wouldn't want another incident like centuries ago when people discovered Dracula's secret."

Max smiled finally and nodded. "That's why I relaxed." She spoked calmly. She sounded as though she were in a trance, but she really wasn't. She thought a moment.
"But... I don't know if I could do that to my brother... er, what's your name, sir?" She blushed with the realization that she didn't even know this vampire's name.

"Andrea, dear Ji Yoon. I understand your hesitation completely."
He smiled over at her. His grouchy appearance at school was just to keep people uninterested in him, but apparently as evidenced today, it wasn't working. He couldn't tell them to stay away because he was a vampire either. It would cause panic until he was found and executed by the humans and potentially the rest of the coven could be put in danger as well.
"I must demand of you two though that you tell noone of what or who I really am. I merely revealed myself to you for I am a family man so I sympathize with your situation. I can only present you with the option, it is up for you to make the decision." he paused as he watched her reactions.
"Just to reassure you if you did decide to say yes, he would be under the tutelage and care of the best. He could learn to harness his powers very well. You would also be welcome at the manor if the situation should occur. We would just have to ask of you not to reveal its location to anyone ever. My underlings do not like loose ends. They have grown paranoid throughout the millenia."
