I thought of this after completing my story "The pain of a vampire" thinking it was hilarious. And then I thought "why not post it?!". And thus, here it is. Enjoy.

P.S. I would highly recommend reading "The pain of a vampire" before reading this one.

Things had been increasingly more calm since the drama the prince had unintentionally brought upon the school. Jack had got a job as a scare instructor for school thanks to Kibosh. It made sense, considering he'd scared everyone before. And it was safe to have him around sense he'd mellowed out. Now that he had Vivianna back, his inner demon was gone. For now. It was kinda cool how things had ended up. The school had managed to keep another creature alive. And vise-versa.

But now, they were all in miss Heady's class, struggling to stay awake. Though, they were all hiding it really well. Well... all except one.

The teacher turned to the creature and cleared her throat, getting the boy to snap up almost instantaneously.

" Fatch, pay attention. "

She said sternly, but still rather sweetly. Again, this was a vampire of royal blood. Once he turned eighteen, he'd take control of the underworld.

Fatch nodded, his eyes returning to their sleepy state.

" Yes ma'am... "

All eyes were on him when they heard him talk. His voice was scratchy and hoarse... Heady narrowed her eyes and levitated over to him, quickly regaining his attention.

" Fatch, are you alright? "

The prince seemed to panic briefly before clearing his throat.

" Yes ma'am. "

It sounded better, but still a little off.

" ... Why don't you go get a drink and come right back? "

Fatch said nothing but pushed his chair back and silently headed out.

That was just this morning. The two groups were all at lunch now, chatting heartily about either scaring fleshies or about the class they'd just had. It was amazing how one friend could connect the two groups. Especially considering they used to hate each other.

Lexi giggled nervously at Ra's joke and turned to Fatch, to find a few things... off. The prince was stirring his food, his fisted left hand against his cheek, staring mindlessly at the plate in front of him.

" Uh, Fatch? "

She asked gently.

" Are you ok? "

Fatch finally looked up, glaring softly.

" I'm fine. Why does everyone keep asking me that-? "

The other cut himself off, clenching his mouth shut. They waited for him to continue, but he never did. Lexi slowly rose from her seat and knelt down beside him.

" Well, for one, you're eating cafeteria food. "

Fatch snorted at the statement.

" Well, maybe I didn't feel like making a lunch today. "

Lexi rolled her eyes a bit at his snappy tone.

" And two, you're not even eating it. "

Fatch sighed in slight irritation.

" Sorry, if I'm not as hungry as I thought I was. "

Lexi frowned. After all that had happened, Fatch still wasn't talking to people. Even if this was much less sever. Why wouldn't he just tell her what was wrong? It's not like she was going to use it against him or anything. Suddenly Fatch stood up with a huff, walking away from the table. The students slowly turned towards each other, Mantha being the first one to speak.

" What's wrong with him now? "

" I'm not sure... "

Casper said quietly before turning to Thatch.

" Has he said anything to you? "

Instantly all eyes were on the vampire, who shook his head.

" Nope. Nothing. "

Dummygirl gave an exaggerated sigh.

" Why doesn't Fatch ever just TELL us when something's wrong? "

" Because it's Fatch, Dummygirl. "

All eyes fell on Lexi now as she retook her seat next to Casper.

" He doesn't like looking weak. He'll never tell us if he had a choice. We'll just have to wait until someone else reviles what's wrong with him. "

" Ok class. "

Jack began almost uncertainly. This was his first time teaching, and he was afraid the students were still afraid of him. Perfectly understandable, but not a good thing for a teacher to have.

" Now, I do teach scare moves. But today, we are going to run one lap around the school. We will do this every other day. "

The students groaned, to which Jack had expected.

" I know I know. But one needs to be fast. "

" To catch fleshies? "

The demon turned to Thatch, relieved the vampire was even TALKING to him.

" ... One, they're called humans. You will call them that in my class, got it? "

Thatch noticeably gulped and nodded.

" Two, no. Being fit in order to run away from humans if they rebel is the key here. Through out history, the humans have killed several important creatures due to fear. Fatch's family is the perfect example of that. Now everyone, get running! "

Just like that the class took off running. Well... all except one. Jack tilted his head a bit and walked beside the prince. Fatch was never one to shy away from exercise...

" Fatch, what's wrong? "

Once the boy looked up Jack IMMEDIATELY knew what was wrong. The child's cheeks held a slight shade of green, as if the idea of running nauseated him. It was all to apparent he was sick. Jack frowned, placing a hand on his shoulder.

" Fatch, why don't you go to the dorm and rest? I'll tell the headmasters you're taking a few days off. "

Fatch gained a slightly worried expression upon the mention of the idea.

" B-but I- "

" No buts little mister. You need to get better. I can tell how bad this fever is, and trust me, it's bad. I'll be up later to check on you. "

" How will you convince the headmasters? "

The only reason Fatch wasn't arguing with the idea was because he was feeling so horrible, all he WANTED was to rest and sleep this off. Jack grinned widely at the thought.

The shadow demon slammed his hands onto the headmasters desk, causing the twin headed creature to jump.

" Listen up! "

Jack snapped, his eyes flashing a menacing red.

" Fatch is taking a few days off. Any objections? "

The headmasters remained silent, unsure of what to do. Arguing with the first shadow demon seemed like a suicide mission. A demon like this could easily rip one of their heads off. Slowly, they nodded. Jack blinked his eyes back to normal, smiling sweetly, as if nothing had happened.

" Thanks! "

The demon slowly left,grinning widely as he reached the spiraled staircase.

" Ahhh... the art of being scary. "

He sighed happily. Finally he let his body fade into a floor shadow, hurrying off to the boys dorm.

So, odds are this is going to be a short story. I hope you enjoy it though! :)
