《Vamped up》Chapter 2 - Sudden awakening
Advertisement
I find myself at the classroom door, above a sign that says class "3-b" hovering above the door. Well, this is a school for rich kids. Still, ain't this overkill? I hear the teacher call me, whatever, I brush the thought aside and walk through the door.
moments ago...
Class 3-b unbeknownst to them would have a new visitor that was more than meets the eye. The class was rowdy as each kid had to fit in with their social clicks. Standing at the very front of the room, the teacher claps her hands. The class falls silent, the teacher raises her voice.
[Sensei]
"Alright, students settle down now. Today you will be joined by a new student, please come in now!"
The door slides open, And a kid with deep hazel eyes, black hair, and rather androgynous features. He's relatively small, not tiny but he's not quite the average size for a kid his age. Despite looking so young he had cold indifferent eyes.
Not uttering a word he bows and writes his name on the chalkboard "Kurake Watanabe" an interesting name. Perhaps he was a foreigner, he sure as hell didn't look Japanese. whispers envelop the room.
"What's with him?"
"Awww~ he'd be such a cutie if he didn't have such that gaze."
"He must be one of 'em quiet kids."
"Makes no difference to me. He's just some commoner anyways."
"Hey isn't that the Principals son though?"
"Nah he's just some kid she picked up."
"Tch, why is a kid like him at our school?
[Sensei]
She clears her throat "you may pick your seat- sit anywhere you want."
Kurake walks to the seat in the far corner, places his bag, and takes his seat.
... What's with these people? Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I expected too much from humans. I decided to change up my name since I was warned that people from 1-A had grudges against other species and vampires. And my family was quite well known in the vampire world. So I will be referred to as Kurake Watanabe from now on.

[Ishikawa]
"Yo! Looks like were desk buddies pleased to meetcha, the names Haruto Ishikawa" A girl with short white hair, and is around my height.
Wait, she's wearing a male uniform. Could I have gotten her gender wrong? Not possible, they were female, no doubt about it. Then why is she dressed up as a guy then?
[Ishikawa]
"Hello?~ hello?~ anyone up there? Chhh this is ground control talking hows the situation up there?" she nudges me.
[Kurake]
"Uwa!" I jolt away startled.
[Ishikawa]
"Woah." She moves away just as startled.
[Kurake]
"U-urgh sorry, nice to meet you too" I spoke in a reserved manner.
This isn't like me, I'm way more upbeat than this. Could this be anxiety? Now that I think about it I haven't interacted with people my age at all not to mention I've never lived in a modern city before. so I'm not very knowledgeable about what people my age even talk about.
[Ishikawa]
"You're an oddball, you give off so many mixed signals"
[Kurake]
"H-how so?"
[Ishikawa]
"Mmmm you seem kinda iffy, but the way you move seems prideful, yet you talk all timidly."
[Kurake]
"R-really?"
I never knew my actions and face were so, readable.
...
Come to think of it, I don't know much about myself-
Suddenly a sharp pain stabs into my chest. It was a pain so horrible it felt like my very nerves were being twisted and ripped apart. I couldn't even describe the type of pain it felt like it was sore but it stung, it felt like a stab wound but it felt like a got punched.
[Kurake]
"Ack!" I collapsed off the chair and onto my knees. My hands tightly clench my chest as I could somehow crush the source of my seemingly unending agony.

It hurts, it hurts so so bad.
[Ishikawa]
"HUH?!?! hello are you alright? oi, OI!" she grabs my shoulder and stares into my eyes.
[Ishikawa]
"Get a hold of yourself! Help somebody! HELP!"
"Ah", I felt my consciousness fading into darkness. The pain was finally fading as my consciousness faded with it. I fall to the side and my consciousness fades.
It's dark, cold, hot, bright, painful, and soothing. What's going on? Where am I? Dead? That can't be it, can it? No, no, no, no, I can't be dead I can't die... But what if I did? Then where am I? Hm? it's bright I see a light! I reach out my hand and reach toward the light.
Squish... Huh? Squish? I squeeze a couple of times. I open my eyes and squint due to the bright light there sat Ishikawa looking down at me her face red.
[Ishikawa]
"D-didn't know you were so desperate for boobs you would grab a guys... Mr. Oppai king."
[Kurake]
"Huh oh sorry" I felt kinda weird I half expected myself to freak out but I guess I'm just that out of it.
Ishikawa sighs and then stares at me intently.
[Ishikawa]
"Dude... What happened to your hair?"
[Kurake]
"What do you mean?"
[Ishikawa]
"What do you mean, what do you mean? Look at yourself were you so stressed out you decided to get white hairs early?" She quickly shoves a mirror in my face.
[Kurake]
"!?"
My black hair was now a deep white color.
[Kurake]
"Hold up, where the hell are we?" I inspect the room we were in. there were curtains, beds, and on a table, there was what looked like lab equipment?
[Ishikawa]
"Were in the nurse's office, now now, get some rest u need to rest your back maybe you could de-age if we start prayin'."
[Kurake]
"My hair only turned white damn it! I'm not old! Don't treat me like some old man!"
Ishikawa breaks out laughing.
[Ishikawa]
"Dude, you are so odd, what happened to your reserved self? Did you lose that along with your hair color?" she snickers.
[Ishikawa]
"Ah- it's time for me to go! See ya bestie!" she sprints out the door before I could say anything back.
Bestie? Best friends with a human huh... Never thought a day like this would have happened in my life, after all, they- never mind. No use brooding over the past. I pull the sheets over my head and drift into the deep sea of sleep...

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ??? Don't be afraid to leave critique or share your support! I really appreciate any feedback you can give. In any case, I sincerely hope you enjoy the story! It's going to be a wild ride.

Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?"
