Chapter 1 Bitten On Awakening

"Hurry up, or we are going to be late."

Joseph, the obese kid yelled while standing downstairs in Kayden's home. Well, of course since he did not want to risk tearing his expensive suit for the halloween party by ascending the staircase. Whereas on the upper storey Kayden glanced in the mirror with his crimson eyes and settled his incubus horns, which were a part of his costume.

"I'm coming, just give me one second. I don't want to look bad while walking with Anna."

Kayden's response made Joseph roll his eyes, he was well aware that Anna never fully acknowledged Kayden as her boyfriend. Instead she had been leeching him off for his geniuses, in the world full extraordinary vampires Kayden only had intelligence. He was the bright student of the vampire academy, who was approached by the top beauty of the academy.

"Fine! Hurry up and get your ass down here, I don't want to miss the food."

Joseph reminded him of the slipping time, while Kayden had no clue what was going to happen that night. Nonetheless when he was done with settling his horns, Kayden looked back at his small room before leaving. On his side table the photo of his late mother was smiling back at him, not literally though.

"Dad, I'm going!"

Kayden hurriedly descended while calling out to his father, Mr Jones. A middle aged man appeared close to the staircase, as the unusual smoke condensed to form his figure. He bid goodbye to Kayden and his friend, who left for the academy's party.

After they were gone Mr Jones headed towards the decently decorated lounge and slumped in the sofa with disappointment, which he never let surfaced in front of his only son.

"Today is the blood moon, Jade. And our son is still incapable of awakening his powers, neither incubus nor vampiric."

He murmured upon seeing the portrait of his late wife, who had successfully hid her identity as a succubus after marrying Jones. Kayden's father was completely hopeless that his son would never awaken either of the powers_vampire or incubus!

Outside the decent sized home stood a luxurious vehicle, which was supposed to drive them to the academy. Kayden was excited regarding his costume which he assumed that Anna would like. In the world of vampires where the powers and blood groups determined the status quo, Kayden belonged to class C which was still better than nothing.

The vehicle halted in front of the academy and they both walked inside. The vampire academy was one of the top schools of magic and martial arts, and such educational institutes were the only unbiased place in the selection of disciples.

'I have to ignore all these hatred filled stares today and enjoy the night with Anna.'

That night wasn't any different for him since he had been consistently suffering from the endless torture. However Anna's bestowing of attention created a deviation in his routine humiliation.

People retorted to verbal abuse after Anna began to hang out with him. She belonged to one of the most influential families from class A, but the girl lacked in her academic life. Due to the unbiased and unfavourable atmosphere of the vampire academy, Anna was unable to extort favour from her family to mess up with her results.

Hence she turned towards Kayden after acknowledging that she had to study in order to excel the exams. The night came sooner after exams when Anna could finally dump him in front of whole school. Kayden and Joseph walked inside totally bewildered upon the halloween decorations.

_"Look that trash kid really came."

_"Haha! How did he even manage to show up?"

_"It's unbelievable how he managed to find a decent costume."

_"Don't let him ruin our halloween party group picture, please."

Mockery and ridiculing laughs resonated as the kids glared at him with crimson eyes. But Kayden did not let any of those affect his joyous mood. Joseph sneaked away towards the food corner, while Kayden began to find Anna in the huge hall.

He was occupied in searching for her when Kayden felt a pungent smell intoxicating his nostrils.

His eyes glowed crimson and canines began to grow into fangs, his body reflexively moved towards the direction. Kayden ran on light-pace and followed the smell, which made him halt at the backside pool of the school.

'Anna? Is she hurt? Who the hell is that guy? And why is she with him? She should have waited for me.'

Kayden could feel her scent because of the shared intimacy, which Anna strictly told him to keep a secret. Anna was clad in a 'Morticia' costume which was true to her exquisite beauty.

Kayden walked up to her and reached for Anna's hand, a loud gasp resonated in the whole poolside. Kayden licked her finger which got pierced when she was flirting with another male vampire classmate. Her finger touched the sharp earring of her dancing partner which resulted in a bit of blood flow. Anna jerked his hand off which surprised Kayden who did not expect such cold treatment after their six months of dating.

"Are you crazy?"

Everyone present at the site paused their activities to enjoy the show, which was an obvious humiliation incident of Kayden as usual. He was an incapable vampire who had no powers or magic to rise on the basis of strength, instead he resorted to get employed as some professor or similar.

"For you? Yes! But you should have waited for me, dear."

Kayden's sweet yet blunt response initiated a laughter, while Anna's eyes glared at him as she snarled. She was done for and did not have anything to do with the trash of the academy now. Since she was getting a transfer now Kayden was potentially stuck in the same institute for higher studies.

"Hah! Stop with all this simping, I know boys like you who will bootlick to extort favours. Get away from me!"

Anna wiped off her hand since vampires had lost the healing abilities aeons ago, only certain blood groups could heal on their own but they were countable in numbers. The boy standing behind Anna became infuriated and lunged at Kayden, his strong grip was around his neck.

"Didn't you hear? Stay away from my girl!"

The visible difference in their strengths made it impossible for Kayden to be able to break free. Joseph on the other hand wanted to help his friend but also acknowledged that doing so would hinder his future enrollment. Hence he stood there silently with his fists clenched, he did not want to risk his future to help out a trash.

Joseph also belonged to class A but due to his physical appearance he was an outcast and ended up befriending Kayden. However Anna's actual boyfriend nearly choked Kayden, when the ground began to rumble and all the students panicked. The pool water moved and formed a figure of a dragon which scared the kids and everyone scattered for their lives.

It was highly unusual for anyone to cast such spells without years of practice, which indicated the presence of an intruder among them. The boy released Kayden's neck, who gasped for breath as his veins were terribly squeezed. His vision grew dizzy and eventually Kayden fainted, while the water dragon snarled at Anna and her boyfriend.

They panicked in fright and ran away with trembling legs, the poolside was soon empty as the unusual incident scared everyone. The starry night sky was glowing at its brightest when Kayden's head began to grow two horns. The blood moon ceremony was strictly effected towards incubus and werewolves.

Kayden's costume began to tear apart due to the horns which were slightly crooked at the edges, his arms and legs got buffed up. The awakening made him appear physically appealing, his facial features became sharp and defined to make any girl find him as a total snack.

The water blue dragon without scales, stared at him and went back into the pool, when a shadowy silhouette trespassed the fence. The beautiful woman approached unconscious Kayden and lifted him by the neck.

She bit him on the neck and drank his blood, which appeared to be of strange taste. The eyes of the mysterious woman shone crimson as she stopped after getting satiated and licked her lips. Kayden's horns disappeared while the physical change remained there, after the intruder woman was done she left the place just like her silent emergence.
