BEGINNING

~~~

Draco Van Hellsing found himself standing in a dimly lit chamber, the air heavy with secrecy and anticipation. His heart pounded in his chest as he waited for her—the one he was forbidden to love—the one who captivated his soul like no other. He glanced around, making sure no one was watching, for their meeting was clandestine, forbidden by the rules that governed their worlds.

And there she was, Serena, graceful and radiant as ever. Her dark, captivating eyes met his, and for a moment, time stood still. In that instant, he knew that his destiny was entwined with hers, and he couldn't resist the pull he felt toward her.

"I knew you'd come," Serena whispered, a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Draco's heart skipped a beat. "I couldn't stay away. You know that Callie, I had to see you."

Wait who's Callie?

Their love was not meant to be—a werewolf and a vampire on opposing sides of a bitter divide. Their affection defied centuries of hatred and enmity between their species. But love, as they say, knows no boundaries.

Draco took Serena's hand in his, their fingers intertwining. "We can't go on like this, meeting in secret. It's dangerous."

Serena's eyes filled with a mixture of longing and determination. "I know, but my heart refuses to stay away from you. We can find a way, Demitri. We can bridge the gap between our worlds."

Demitri?

Draco wanted to believe her, to hold on to the hope that their love could change everything. But the weight of tradition and prejudice was heavy, and the odds seemed insurmountable.

He leaned closer, his forehead resting against hers. "I love you, Callie, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect you, even if it means keeping our love hidden."

Serena's breath hitched, tears glistening in her eyes. "And I love you, Demitri, more than words can express. Our hearts are bound together, and I have faith that one day, our love will bring about change."

As they stood there, cherishing their stolen moments together, they were unaware of the shadows lurking, of the forces that sought to keep them apart. Their love was a secret—a flame that burned in the darkness, defying the world's expectations.

Draco Van Hellsing sat restlessly in the classroom, his heart pounding with anticipation. Today was the day he had left a special gift for Serena on her desk, a small token of his affection that he hoped would convey his feelings. He couldn't help but smile as he glanced at the delicate package nestled amongst her books and notes.

The classroom was abuzz with excitement as students chatted and settled into their seats. Serena, popular among her peers, entered with her sister Kelly and a group of friends, her radiant presence drawing attention from all around. She was half-Asian with light brown eyes and long black hair. Draco couldn't take his eyes off her, mesmerized by her every move.

As Serena approached her desk, her eyes locked on the gift. Her lips curled into a warm smile, and she turned to meet Draco's gaze with a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes. The unspoken connection between them lingered, as it had for some time now.

Draco's pursuit of Serena had been persistent yet respectful. He had never pressured her, allowing her to take her time in responding to his romantic advances. Despite not receiving a clear acceptance, he hadn't been discouraged either. He believed in the depth of their connection, even if it was still unspoken.

Just as Serena was about to say something, the teacher entered the classroom, and the room fell silent. The moment was gone, but Draco held onto the hope that they would have a chance to talk later.

Throughout the class, Draco found it challenging to concentrate on the lessons. His mind kept drifting back to the gift he had left for Serena. He wondered if she would give him any indication of her feelings when they had a moment alone.

As the class neared its end, the teacher announced that there would be a short break before the next lesson. Draco saw this as an opportunity and gathered his courage."Serena, can we talk for a moment?" he asked, a touch of nervousness in his voice.

Serena smiled kindly, her eyes reflecting warmth. "Sure, Draco. What's on your mind?"

Taking a deep breath, Draco spoke sincerely, "I just wanted to know if you liked the gift."

Serena's expression softened, touched by his sincerity. "Yeah. I love it."

Draco nodded, a sense of hope and relief washing over him. "And what about me?."

"Of course I-" Serena froze. "Nice try," she said with a knowing smile.

"Almost gotcha" he replied.

With those words, the bell rang, signaling the end of the break.

Classes continued as per usual. Students shuttled in between classes chattering as they did so. This was until suddenly the school alarm suddenly rang.

As the alarm blared through the school halls, chaos erupted among the students. They were supposed to evacuate immediately, but fear and confusion gripped the air. The urgent announcement echoed over the intercom, urging everyone to leave the premises due to an impending attack.

Amidst the panic, Draco's thoughts were solely focused on Serena's safety. He couldn't bear the idea of leaving her behind while danger lurked. She was human. She would get hurt easily. Without hesitation, he pushed through the crowds, determined to find her.

"Serena!" Draco called out, scanning the sea of faces as he moved against the tide of students. His heart raced with worry, his only mission being to make sure she was safe.

Through the turmoil, he caught a glimpse of Cherry, Serena's best friend, attempting to lead her friends to safety. "Cherry, have you seen Serena?" Draco asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the urgency.

Cherry looked worried, but she shook her head. "I haven't seen her since the alarm started. We got separated when everyone rushed to evacuate."

Draco's heart sank. He needed to find her, to make sure she was alright, but the commotion made it challenging to navigate through the crowded hallways.

"I have to find her," Draco said, determination in his voice. "You and your friends stay together and get to safety. I'll keep looking for her."

Cherry nodded. "Be careful."

With those words, Draco continued his search, pushing through the crowds, calling out Serena's name. The adrenaline rushed through him as he made his way through the chaos. He checked classrooms, and hallways, and even ventured outside, but there was no sign of Serena.

Time seemed to slow as Draco's search yielded no results. He felt a mix of frustration, fear, and determination. He wouldn't give up until he found her, but the attackers' presence made his task even more difficult.

As the evacuation continued and the chaos subsided, Draco found himself outside the school, scanning the surroundings. He refused to believe that he wouldn't find Serena, but with every passing moment, his worry deepened.

"Serena," he whispered, hoping that somehow she would hear his call and that their connection would guide her to safety.

Just as he was about to reenter the school to continue his search, he felt a chilling presence behind him. He turned around to see a figure, tall and menacing, their eyes glowing with a sinister red hue—a vampire.

Before he could react, the vampire lunged at him, sharp fangs bared, hunger in their gaze. Draco's instincts kicked in, and he fought back with all his might. He dodged and parried, but the vampire was relentless, overpowering him with inhuman strength.

As the vampire's claws swiped at him, Draco stumbled, his vision blurred from the force of the attack. He could feel the blood trickling down his arm, and the pain served as a stark reminder of the danger he was in.

Just when it seemed like Draco's fate was sealed, a gunshot echoed through the air, distracting the vampire momentarily. The unexpected intervention gave Draco a chance to regain his footing.

A female vampire hunter student had arrived, guns blazing, as she engaged the vampire in a fierce and deadly dance. Her movements were precise, and every shot hit its mark, causing the vampire to recoil in pain.

Grateful for the hunter's aid, Draco knew he had to seize this opportunity. He quickly shifted into his wolf form, a tall black wolf with hazel eyes. Summoning his strength, he lunged at the vampire once more, attacking with renewed ferocity. He fought alongside the hunter, their combined efforts momentarily driving the vampire back.

But just when they thought they had the upper hand, the vampire retaliated, knocking Draco to the ground with a powerful blow. He lay stunned, the world spinning around him, unable to comprehend the unfolding chaos.

As the vampire closed in for the final strike, time seemed to slow, and a sudden stillness enveloped the scene. And then, in an astonishing twist, the vampire was pinned down, unable to move.

Draco's eyes widened in shock as he saw Serena standing there, her eyes now glowing an intense shade of red—a telltale sign of a vampire heritage. The power and strength she exuded were beyond anything he had ever witnessed.

For a moment, Draco was too stunned to react. He unconsciously shifted back to human form as he gaped. His mind struggled to process the revelation that the girl he cared for was not only a vampire but had just displayed such remarkable strength. His heart raced, torn between fear and an inexplicable connection that tied them together.

And then, as if the weight of the situation had dawned upon her, Serena's eyes widened with her shock and fear. She looked at Draco, and at that moment, she fled, disappearing into the shadows.

"Serena, wait!" Draco called out, his voice filled with a mixture of confusion and longing. But she was already gone, leaving him battered and bewildered.
