Also for those of you who want to read this but didn't read the first book, you'll be so, SO confused. Here. s/9013830/1/House-of-Blood-Stains


Chapter 1

Poppy read the letter she got from her brother. She couldn't see him anymore, but they wrote constantly. He told her everything that happened after she left to live with her dad. How he became a vampire, which she thought was a joke until recently when he came to visit. She missed him. But for now the letters would do.

Dear Poopy,

I honestly hate it here right now. We've all settled into our houses. If you repeat this to anyone I'll kill you. I miss my housemates. We were all one big family. We had major issues and we certainly weren't happy, but a family never the less. Things between Alfie and I haven't gotten much better. We promised we wouldn't hurt each other, and all of the vampires and werewolves have made a truce. But we still don't talk to each other. I have to admit, I miss him. But things will never be the same. He has his own friends. Miss America and Joyless. And I have mine. That's just the way it has to be. If I'm being totally honest, the worst part about being what I am. Is that no one can know. Because we are what we are, we are forced to be not just normal, but extranormal.

We can't give ourselves away. For our own safety.

Love Gerbal


There was a loud pounding on Fabian's bedroom door. He put the pillow over his head and Patricia, who was next to him, groaned loudly. Both were lying on his bed, with the other bed blocking the door so no one would bother them.

"Fabian, Patricia, come out now" the house mother, Val said.

"Can't" Patricia said.

"Why not?" Val asked.

"We're dead" Fabian said. Patricia raised her eyebrow at him. "I'm only half lying"

"We have a new housemate" she said. "I want everyone to come out and meet her"

"We didn't have to do that at Anubis" Patricia said.

"Then maybe you lot shouldn't have blown it up" Val said. Fabian and Patricia huffed, but got up anyway. When they got into the living room, everyone was in a straight line. It reminded them of when they would all get in trouble at Anubis and Victor would line them up. In front of them was a girl with long curly brown hair and a suitcase. Patricia stood next to Willow.

"There you guys are, I wanted to hang out but I couldn't find you" Willow said. "I wanted to talk to you about a memorial"

"For Victor and Trudy?" Fabian asked.

"No silly, for Anubis House!" Willow said. "It's the end of an era, and after nearly a month I finally convinced Mr. Sweet to hold one for it"

Fabian and Patricia just stared at her, as if she were crazy. Maybe she was.

"Ok everyone. This is Kara" Val said. The girl winced at the sound of her real name.

"You can call me KT" she said.

"KT, this is Ben, Sven, Surgi, Tom, Polly, Molly, Sarah, Willow, Patricia, and Fabian" she said. "You will be rooming with Willow and Patricia"

"Oh how wonderful" Patricia said in a deadpan voice. Val left, and then so did everyone else.

"So, I think I should tell you more about Isis House" Willow said. "Everyone here is really into sports. The house motto is win or die trying"

"That's their motto?" KT asked.

"Oh wait, maybe its win and keep trying" Willow said. "Anyway, I know it's kind of crowded here, but that's because the fourth house was Anubis, and it got destroyed, so sad. That's why Fabian and Patricia are here"

"How did it get destroyed" KT asked.

"That's not your concern" Fabian snapped.

"Sorry, I was just wondering" KT said.

"Maybe you should keep your nose out of other people's business"

"Maybe you shouldn't be so rude to someone you just met" KT said.

"You don't know who you're dealing with" Fabian said taking a step closer to her.

"Neither do you" she said not intimidated at all. Fabian noticed her eyes, a hazel brown color.

"Great" he said, sarcasm dripping off of his word as he walked in the direction of his room, slamming the door shut.

Nina thought of how her life turned out. How simple it used to be. She was just a normal girl in America. The scholarship changed her life. She laughed, she should write a Mystery book about a girl instructed to find a treasure in a boarding school with her friends. Or a supernatural story about werewolves and vampires and witches and of course elements. Suddenly all thoughts were clouded with loud music from the stereo in the living room.

"Eddie" Nina said to him. "Can you turn that down, or off?"

"Why?"

"Because I can't hear myself think" Nina said.

"That's impossible" Mara said without looking up from her book. "A thought isn't something you hear, no matter how loud the music is you always have thoughts"

"It's an expression" Nina rolled her eyes.

"It's a stupid one" Mara said. "Besides, if you're really upset about the music then how about you go into your room? I would think even you could come up with something as simple as that"

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused" Mara said and Eddie burst out laughing.

"Don't test me Jaffray" Nina said in a threatening voice. "I guess you're forgetting it's a full moon tonight"

"I guess you're forgetting I can still kill you before the moon is up" Mara said closing her book. Mick, who was sitting on the side, groaned. That's all they did, was fight. He was sick of it.

"Oh no" a girl who lived in Mut, Rebecca, said coming into the room and capturing everyone's attention. "You are not fighting again"

"They started it!" Nina exclaimed. "All I asked for was that he turned the volume down!"

"Why do you always fight anyway?" Rebecca asked. They looked at each other. "I mean, I always thought of your house as kind of a clique, always sticking together"

"We were, things change" Eddie shrugged.

"It's been a rough year" Nina said. "I thought this place would be awesome. Harry Potter land"

"I often compare this place to Hogwarts" Becca said. "See, your house was the Slytheren House"

"Slytheren? Us?" Mara asked.

"Yeah, you guys were always causing trouble wherever you went" Rebecca said. Now they had to admit that what she said made sense.

"Isis House was Gryffindor, strong, judgmental, think everyone else is weak in comparison" Becca said. "Hathor House is Ravenclaw. Devoted to their studies, or into their creativity"

"And Mut?" Mick asked. "That's Hufflepuff?"

"Nice, quiet, not in the drama. Stay on the sidelines"

"Nina and I are not quiet and we're always right in the drama" Eddie laughed.

"And Alfie, Amber, Jerome and Joy in Ravenclaw?" Mara asked.

"Fabian and Patricia are not exactly the sportiest of people" Mick said.

"Well I think Slytheren, I mean Anubis, brought out our loudness" Nina said. "I don't think we would make a big effort to make ourselves known if you were anywhere else, and Mick and Mara are pretty quiet. Besides, Ravenclaw is also very artistic. Alfie and Amber are artistic. And Jerome and Joy may be smarter than we give them credit for. Plus, Patricia can be into sports when she wants to, Fabian is also really good a dodge ball and he just made the soccer, I mean football team"

"That's... Very insightful of you Nina" Mara complemented.

"...Thank you" Nina said, not completely sure if she was being sincere. It wasn't normal for Mara to be nice to her, not anymore.

Amber decided to take a walk around campus. She found her way to the broken Anubis House.

"It's so sad isn't it?" Willow's voice cut through the air.

"When did you get here?" Amber asked.

"I always come here" Willow said. "Are you looking for a personal assistant?"

"A personal assistant? No..." Amber said.

"Well it's a good idea to have one" Willow said. "And I would be the perfect assistant"

"That's cool... I guess" Amber said.

"I love you Amber!" Willow said. "You have like the perfect life"

"Wouldn't say that"

"You have the perfect friends, perfect teeth" Willow started on her list.

"Teeth?"

"Perfect hair" Willow said.

"That's true..."

"You snagged a really good boyfriend" Willow said with a smile. This made Amber smile.

"Yeah he's my beau" Amber said.

"Ooh, we should all hang out tonight! Play games and stuff!" Willow said.

"Tonight isn't a good night" Amber said thinking o.

"Tomorrow night?" Willow asked. "Are you busy?"

"Um, no but-"

"Great!" Willow smiled. "Is Alfie a good kisser?"

"Um, that information is between me and him" Amber said.

"So that's a yes" Willow smirked at her. "He's good at magic right?"

"Yeah..."

"So am I!" Willow said. "Look, watch this"

She picked a flower from the ground that wasn't yet bloomed. She hovered her hand over the flower and it began to grow until fully flourished. Amber's eye grew wide, but not because she never saw that before. She's been seeing and living nothing but magic for the past three-four years of her life. But because she recognized that trick as one of the first she learned when she trained to become an element.

"Willow, that's not just magic" Amber said. "You're an element aren't you?"

Willow grew nervous. She always did that trick for people and no one ever guessed her secret. Just that she was good at magic tricks, like Alfie. "What? What's an Element? No! What?"

"Willow, it's ok, I am too" Amber said. Willow's eye grew big with excitement.

"Squee!" She exclaimed. "I never met another element! Except my mom... We could be EleMistresses!" She posed a superhero move.

"Uh... No" Amber said.

"Do you know any other elements?" Willow asked.

"No" Amber said. "Just vampires, witches, werewolves and zombies?" Willow laughed loudly at this.

"Oh you're so funny" Willow said.

"I wasn't trying to be" Amber mumbled.

"You wanna see something cool?" Willow said.

"Sure, why not?" Amber said. Willow was the type of girl who just couldn't seem to ever stand in one place. She was always jumping around or skipping somewhere. But suddenly she looked calm, serious, and she was perfectly still. The concentration was present on her determined face. She lifted her hands up as the wind began to blow around them. She used the wind and shifted it around her, controlling it until it was compact into a tight little ball of wind. Then the wind was on fire. Amber looked at her, shocked.

"You can control wind and fire at the same time?" Amber asked.

"Yeah" Willow said as everything calmed down.

"I've been working forever on skills like that and I've been working for months!" Amber said. "You've just become an Element! You had to your birthday was last frickin month!"

"Well, between you and me, I became an Element early" Willow said.

"How?" Amber asked.

"I did a lot of meditating" Willow nodded.

"When did you become an Element?" Amber asked.

"When I was fourteen" Willow said. "I can teach you some things if you want"

"No thank you" Amber huffed and walked away.

"Did I say something wrong?" WIllow said chasing after her. She stopped short almost making Willow bump into her.

"It's late, I'm going back to my house" Amber said and continued walking to Hathor. Willow sighed and walked to Isis.

Patricia snuck out of the house, it was past their curfew. She made her way to the open field that was somewhere in between Hathor and Anubis. There was a picnic and her boyfriend waiting for her.

"Sorry it took so long, Val never goes to sleep!" Patricia said.

"Doesn't matter" Eddie said as he leaned in and kissed her.

"So what have we got here?" Patricia said excitedly as she picked up a strawberry.

"Just fruits. Figured it was kind of late to eat anything too big" Eddie shrugged.

"That never stopped you before" Patricia laughed.

"Yeah but I was thinking of you" Eddie said. "For myself I have a ham sandwich" he pulled out the nice looking sandwich and took a bite.

"Hey give me some of that!" Patricia said.

"You don't usually eat at night!" Eddie said holding it back.

"Yeah well at Isis house they don't have anything good to eat so I eat all the time, especially ham" Patricia said.

"What are you a werewolf?" Eddie laughed as he thought of the way the werewolves ate.

Patricia laughed and then growled at him. "Yes, and I am hungry for meat, especially now that the moon is out"

"The freaks come out at night! The freaks come out at night!" Eddie sang his mock werewolf song.

"Oh, c'mon Eddie, stop that" Patricia rolled her eyes but chuckled.

"Hey I have a question for you" Eddie said to her. "If you had the choice to be a vampire or a werewolf, which would you be?"

"Oh definitely a werewolf" Patricia nodded. Then laughed at the look on Eddie's face. "I'm kidding! Being a werewolf sounds horrible! Having to chain yourself up in the night because your a slave to a full moon? Yeah right, vampire all the way"

"That's my girl" Eddie hi-fived her.

"Plus then I don't get old" Patricia said.

"And you get to spend an eternity with me" Eddie smirked at her.

"Uh... being a werewolf sounds pretty good right now" Patricia joked.

"Oh come on it wouldn't be that bad" Eddie said.

"No, it wouldn't at all" Patricia smiled.

"Ok, then maybe if you like the idea of being a vampire, I've been meaning to ask you something..." Eddie said nervously. "Would you like to be a vampire?"

"I just said yes-"

"No I mean... do you... would you really like to be one?" Eddie said.

"Are you offering to change me?" Patricia asked. He nodded. "Uh, I don't think so. I mean, maybe if I were human..."

"You are human" Eddie rolled his eyes.

"Not for long, I told you Eddie I'm gonna figure out how to get my magic back" Patricia said. "I'm supposed to be a witch, and even though there were complications-"

"You're still a witch at heart" Eddie mocked. "Yeah, I know"

"Do you have a problem with me being a witch or something?" Patricia asked.

"No I don't, I have a problem with you always talking about it, over and over again nonstop" Eddie admitted.

"This is important to me!" Patricia said.

"Yeah, yeah" Eddie said.

"Fine" Patricia said getting up.

"Where are you going?" Eddie asked.

"HOME" Patricia spat at him and stomped off.

"Good!" Eddie called after her. She turned around and looked at him.

"Just so you know, I would rather set myself on fire than stay with you for an eternity!" Patricia yelled at him and turned on her heel with her head up high as she made her way back to Isis.

"Oh yeah? Well I'd stab myself in the heart" he yelled back. But she didn't turn, she kept walking.

Joy sat up in her bed and looked at the clock. Ten forty. They would turn at eleven pm. She looked at her roommates. Amber and Sam were both sound asleep. She made her way quietly to down the stairs and opened the first bedroom door. Alfie was there, totally ready to go. When walking outside, Nina met up with them. They all held hands and walked towards the forest.

Any other time, they would chain themselves up because it is very possible that they would go out and kill/eat an innocent person. But this was their third full moon. Which means it was the full moon they were going to meet the rest of the pack. All three of them were a bit nervous. A wolf is weak without it's pack. So if they were with people that didn't cooperate or didn't like them, they were screwed. They had already kind of formed their own werewolf pack and weren't exactly looking forward to adding new people. As they walked further into the forest they heard someone next to them walking with them in perfect harmony. Looking over they saw a girl with long curly hair and dark skin. She looked a little similar to Alfie. Soon they reached the heart of the forest. Standing before them were seven other people. Three girls, including the one they saw in the jungle, and four other boys. One boy stepped forward.

"Welcome friends. My name is Blaze" he said. He had short black hair and fair skin. He was strong and well built, but then again they all were. "I am your Alpha"

"I am Naturi" the girl with light brown skin and long dark brown hair said.

"My name's KT" the girl they saw in the woods said.

"I'm Nina" she said

"I am Joy" she said.

"I'm Alfie" he said.

"My name is Adam" the boy with brown hair and tan skin said.

"I'm Lea" the girl said. She looked very similar to Adam, but her hair was blonde.

"I'm Marqus" the dark skinned boy said. He was so dark, he nearly blended in with the night.

"My name is Myles" the last one said. He had long black hair that hung over his eyes.

They then felt a sharp but bearable pain in their arm. When it stopped, burnt on their upper arm was a small flame. Naturi smiled.

"Welcome to your pack" she said. "We are Wolfire"

"Tonight's the night" Blaze said.

"The night for what?" Kt asked.

"The night we hunt" Blaze said. "For vampires"


AU-The werewolves are on my profile. Just so you have an idea of what the people you are reading about look like. :)
