Zach was still staring at Kei with a hard-to-understand look. Zach hasn't returned Kei's greeting either.
"Zach?"
His father's call broke his daydream.
"Your majesty greets you." her father reminded.
"Aahh, yes. Uhm... Hola... Err.. Which.. Your honor?" Zach. Whether it was a statement or a question he asked. Kei smiled amusedly hearing that.
"Well, he's very handsome." praised Karen in a very quiet voice. But Kei and Zach heard that clearly. Zach looked at Karen with a dislike look, while Kei tried to hold back his smile.
"I'm sorry, but I already have one" Kei told Karen.
"Huh??" Karen was surprised.
"That's it, let's go Karen." take Zach.
"You guys are going? But your majesty just came by Zach" said his father.
"Zach... Uhm... There's a party that Zach has to attend. Zach has promised... Uhm.. Karen to come." replied Zach looking doubtful. "It's a father's school, so please understand. Excuse me."
Zach pulls out Karen's bewildered hand, making Zach an excuse.
"Zach, who are they?" karen asked when she was next to Zach's bike.
"Nobody." said Zach coldly.
"Why is that handsome man called noble? Is he king? No way, he's too young. Prince?" ask Karen again. Zach breathed a rough sigh.
"Does he look handsome to you?" ask Zach doesn't like it.
"Well, he's handsome. No, very handsome." Karen looked at Kei.
"Then do you like it?"
"I? Of course not."
"It looks like you really like it." guessed Zach.
"I don't have any feelings for Zach, but I'm not blind. I can still deny which one is handsome which one isn't." said Karen in self-defense. Zach rolled his eyeballs.
"All right, whatever. Just put on your helmet."
"But this helmet will make my hair break." Karen complained. Zach grunted in annoyance. Zach put on his helmet and rode on his bike.
"Women are really troublesome." he murmured.
"Did you say?"
"No, there's no. Quickly up. Do you want me to stay?" zach ketus said.
"Yes, yeah. You're so grumpy." Karen's riding a Zach motorbike.
"Aren't you holding on?"
"No need."
"All right then. Don't blame me if you fall later." Zach said. Karen snorted in annoyance then finally hugged Zach from behind. Zach smiled triumphantly. Zach's motor starts walking to school.
"Pardon my noble son." said Zach's father.
"It's okay alpha Dustin. I used to be stubborn like him" Kei said.
"Till now still." Jason chirped. Mike who was standing next to Jason elbowed Jason. Jason whimpered in pain.
"Let's go in." take Zach's father. Zach's mother frowned.
"Can I have luna?" asked Kei who saw the frown on Zach's mother's forehead.
"Ohh, of course" said Zach's mother. "Let's go in."
Kei and Ian and all five of his gamma entered Zach's house.
****
Rottern High School is crowded with students attending valentine's parties. Zach parked his bike. Karen fixed her dress and hair. He walked slowly to the gym that had been transformed into a party room. Zach runs after Karen.
"Do you want to just leave me?" asked Zach when he had balanced Karen's steps.
"I have to go in and find Stefanie" Karen said.
"Stefanie? Who her? Ahh the friend who was with you when I brought you that?"
"No, not him."
"Hey, slow down." Zach pulled Karen's hand. Karen took a breath.
"I used you to bring me here, I'm sorry. But I had no choice. My house is close to your house. While no one can take me to school and my time is cramped. So let me go." Karen releases her hand but Zach again grabs her.
"You're coming with me here so you're going to come in with me." Zach said. Zach clasped Karen's hand and pulled her to the entrance.
In so many students who have come. Many of them dance with their partners. Because this party requires bringing a partner. Karen searches for Stefanie while Zach searches for Daryl's whereabouts. Zach still holds Karen's hand. Many disciples looked at them and started whispering.
Suddenly Zach stopped his steps. His eyes were on someone. He was so surprised by what he saw. Karen was confused to see Zach stop his steps, looked directly at Zach and then toward the direction Zach saw. Zach's facial features changed instantly.
Karen realized who Zach was looking at. A girl and the girl also stared at Zach in silence. Karen took off Zach's hand and left. He didn't want to be the barrier person between Zach and the girl. There's more important than that.
The girl Zach was staring at walked up to Zach. He smiled after arriving in front of Zach.
"Hi Zach." greet the girl.
"Hey... Ashley." - Ashley."
Karen's still going around the dance hall. Sometimes he looks at Zach who is now with the girl.
'Who is he? I've never seen him before. Are they friends? But the way Zach looked at him was like... Ahh. What peduliku? I need to find Stefanie. And where's Nat?'
Karen took her phone out of her party dress pocket. Karen typed a message for Nat.
'Nat, where are you?'
Karen pressed the send button. Karen waited for her answer while watching Stefanie. Karen looked back at Zach.
'Even he didn't notice me leaving'
Karen was upset. He tried to get rid of that frustration. Phone's vibrating. Karen read the messages on her phone.
'Karen, I'm behind the school. Hurry here. I saw Stef and Matt.'
Karen sighed then kept her phone in her pocket in her dress. Karen ran to where Nat meant. From a distance Zach sees Karen. Yes, he had already realized their grasp had slipped.
"Zach.." Ashley's call still ignored Zach. "Zach!!" this time Ashley half yelled. Zach. "What's wrong with you? Are you all right?"
"I'm good." Zach was still staring at the direction Karen was leaving. He has a bad feeling.
"Are you sure?" ask Ashley again.
"Yes, of course" Zach told a lie. He wanted to catch up with Karen but he hesitated.
"Come, we dance, for the old days."
Ashley pulled Zach's hand to the dance floor. Zach according.

Karen's in the back yard of the school. There's nobody there. Karen's looking for Nat.
"Karen.." a voice called out to him. Karen's looking for the origin of the sound. Karen finds Nat hiding behind one of the school buses. Karen's coming for Nat.
"Nat, while ap-" Nat shuts Karen's mouth.
"Sttts... Don't be noisy." whispered Nat. Karen nodded. Nat took his hand out of Karen's mouth.
"What's this?" whispered Karen.
"See that." Nat pointed towards the forest that was behind the school. Karen followed the direction indicated by Nat. He saw three men and two women walking into the forest.
"What is that..."
"Stefanie and Matt." replied Nat.
"Why did they go into the forest?"
"I don't know Karen." Nat shook his head.
"Then go, let me follow them" said Karen.
"No Karen, I'm coming with you." refused Nat.
"That's dangerous, Nat."
"The same with you."
"But at least I can defend myself and you can't" said Karen. "Let me find out what they're doing there and what they're gonna do to Stefanie. If I don't get out in fifteen minutes, get help. Youunderstand?"
"But are you sure you'll be okay?"
"Yes, and I have to hurry otherwise I'll lose them." Karen started running and stopped for a moment and turned around. "Fifteen minutes."
Nat nodded. Karen ran after Stefanie. Karen tried to run by not making a sound. But the forest is dark. Although still slightly illuminated by the light from the school lights but it was not enough, especially Karen had started to stay away from the school. Karen heard the laughter. Karen followed the sound of that laughter and sure enough. That's Matt and his friends and Stefanie. Karen is initially reluctant to go to the party but Nat tells her that Stefanie is coming to the party with Matt. That's a strange thing for Karen. Karen knows Matt hates Stefanie the Nerd. He's even mocked and hurt Stefanie so many times and he came with Setafanie to the party? That's a weird thing for Karen. Moreover, Nat said there was something evil planned by Matt and his friends but unfortunately Nat does not know what it is. He didn't hear it. So Karen decides to come to the party with Zach's help to check on Stefanie.
Karen's still following them. Karen went deeper into the forest. Now no light shines on him anymore. But Karen still heard their voices and footsteps. Soon the footsteps stopped.
"Stef, I'm glad you're here" Matt said. Stefanie just smiled shyly. "You made my plan easy. You and your friend Natasha."
"What do you mean Matt? Natasha?" Stefanie frowned confusedly, as did Karen who heard that. Why did he mention Nat's name?
Matt walked forward a few steps.
"So... Let's have a real party" Matt said half-screaming. "Karen....!! Come outside! I know you're here...!!
Karen surprised. Her... Know it?
"Karen? What do you mean Karen?" ask Stefanie.
"Karen is here, Stefanie. Don't you know." Matt smiled with satisfaction. "Are that right, Nat? Darling?"
Karen is confused. Nat?
Nat out of the bush. He smiled at Matt. That's.. Nat.
"Come Karen. We know you're here. Well, at least I know." Natasha and the others laughed. Only Stefanie was silent in her place.
Karen came out of hiding. She looked at Natasha with her confused look.
"Snat? What's going on?" ask Karen.
"What happens is that you're a fool" Matt said.
"What do you mean?"
"You think who's been helping me this whole time. Get the girls?" said Matt.
"Snat?"
Karen was surprised. Karen seemed to think. If that person is Natasha, it all makes sense, he thought. Matt is famous for his playboy but no one knows more than Karen and Natasha. Karen finds out that all the girls Matt dates are weird after they break up. It's like they don't remember anything. They also look pale. Some even behave very strangely and some disappear. Everyone thinks they moved out of heartache to Matt, but Karen always feels weird about it. And even stranger... Matt always picks a girl who's still a virgin. Karen thinks they've been raped by Matt.
"What is this Nat? You really helped her? Help him to rape those girls?"
"Whoa.... Don't talk carelessly. I'm not that low" Matt said.
"Then what did you do to them?!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb Matt, I know you did something to them" Karen said. Karen stared intently and disgustedly at Matt.
"No, you're wrong. I didn't do anything to them. Right baby?" Matt hugged Natasha tightly.
"Snat!!" cry Karen.
"Ohh well, all right. I'm sick of all your crazy commands and actions. If you hadn't been suspicious, maybe we'd still be good friends."
"You really helped him?" ask Karen to make sure.
"Are you kidding me? It's my idea!!" Nat laughs.
"What are you doing all that for?!"
"Have you forgotten what I'm a fan of?" ask Nat. Karen nodded. "Fangs!!"
"Then what does fangs have to do with all this madness?!" Karen is confused.
"Owh... Did you forget which fangs are called for which fans?"
"Vampire." answered Karen.
"Frightly so."
"But they're not real."
"No, you're wrong. They're real."
"What do you mean?" Karen is confused.
"I found them. Real vampires" said Nat. He smiled happily. "You know why I use virgins? Because that's the condition given by the vampires. They want the blood of virgins."
"If what they say is true, then why do they want the virgin's blood and what do they give in return?"
"The vampires wanted great power. If they drink the blood of virgin girls, they will become stronger, stronger than you ever imagined. They are perfect soon. There are only two more. Stef and you. I know you're still Karen's virgin." said Nat. Karen looked at him furiously.
"Ahhh.." continued Nat. ".... And all they can give me is to be a part of his people."
"You mean you want to be..."
"Absolutely. We want to be vampires. Isn't that Matt baby?" Natasha looked at Matt.
"Sure Babe." They kissed.
"You're disgusting." said Karen. Natasha and Matt let go of their kiss.
"Ohh sorry.. You've never kissed before, have you? Too bad." Everyone laughed except Karen and Stefanie.
Stefanie tried to run but quickly someone was in front of her. The pale-skinned man grinned happily, revealing his long, sharp teeth.
"You can't go sweetheart, we haven't eaten" the man said. Stefanie looks scared.
"You guys brought two guys this time. Very good." said one more person. He walked past Natasha and Matt. The man was wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans. His short black hair looked very neatly combed. The man walked towards Karen. Half way he stopped. He sniffed slowly.
"I guess because this forest is already owned by the dogs, but it turns out you smell.." the man walked back slowly to Karen. "You really are like those dogs. Are you... Being near those dogs, darling?"
Karen fell silent in her place. He did not move even trying to run. The man was right in front of Karen. The man looked at Karen and smiled, revealing his teeth. Karen looked at those teeth.
"Good work." praise Karen. The man smiled.
"You think this is fake? Or the... I made my teeth like this? This whole?"
"Yes, and it's a good job. Too bad it's fake." Karen said again. The man opened his mouth even wider. He put his fangs in and pulled out his fangs again.
"Does that look fake to you?"
"Well, yeah it's like-"
Karen's body floated for a moment then landed on a tree with her back smashing into a tree that was a bit far away from her. Karen looked at the man while grimacing in pain. The man quickly reached in front of Karen and placed one hand on her neck. The man pulled out his fangs and looked at Karen. Her eyes which Karen believed to be bright blue were now turned pitch-black. Karen was surprised to see it. He believed that what Nat said that vampires exist is not funny jokes but now he is starting to fear.
"Is this fake too?" ask the man. The man smiled cynically. "I'm gonna have fun tonight."
Karen thrashed, trying to kick and hit. But the man was much stronger than her.
"Are you aware that you can't fight me?" said the man then prepared to stick his fangs. From far away, Stefanie's screams were heard. Karen closed her eyes.
Bukk!!
Karen heard the sound of a blow. Karen opened her eyes and saw that the vampire had fallen. Karen looked at the hitter.
"Zach's.."
"Come here, are you okay?" ask Zach. Zach hugged Karen. The vampire who was hit earlier had already stood up and attacked Zach. But Zach can compensate. Karen's snuggled into a tree.
"Go away from here." Zach ordered. The vampire smiled cynically.
"will not. Before I get the girl and you, the dog, don't ever bother me."
"I won't let it." said Zach.
"Alright, let's see who wins" said the vampire.
"Do you need my help, Ben?" ask the other vampire.
"No, no need for Lex, I can handle this dog alone" Ben said.
The lightning-fast Ben was already in front of Zach and hit Zach right in the face. Zach doesn't want to lose and hits Ben with a kers. Zach slams Ben's body to the ground and beats him in the face several times. Ben holds Zach's hand and hits Zach on the head and kicks Zach into a tree. The tree's cracked and it's gonna fall on Karen. Zach finds out it runs straight towards Karen and hugs her. Zach's body hit the big tree trunk.
"Aarrggh...." Zach growled in pain.
"Are you okay?" ask Zach.
"You..."
"Well, it's very romantic." praised Ben.
Zach growling. He pushed the trunk of the tree that hit him with a single push. The tree trunk was detached from him.
"Go Karen. Go to my house and tell my dad that I need his help." Zach gets up and attacks Ben.
"Is Zach a vampire too? Look, he can even balance Ben." asked Natasha.
"I don't think so." replied Matt.
"I've asked you to check it out when he destroyed that basketball hoop!"
"I've checked on him baby and he's only human! He eats human food. You know vampires can't eat human food."
"That's right. But there's no way he's an ordinary human being if he can fight Ben!"
"He is no ordinary man." replied someone behind them. Matt and Nat turned to "More precisely a werewolf." he said.
The man beat Matt unconscious.
"Matt!!" pekik Nat's.
Bukk!!
Nat passed out next to Matt.
"I'll take care of the other vampire" Roland said after fainting Matt. Roland turned himself into a wolf and came to Alex who was preparing to attack Roland's wolf.
"Waahh you're really good at making women pass out Brad."
"It's so funny Austin" said Brad annoyed.
"Then what should we do to the two men who escaped" Austin said pointing to the two men, Matt's friend who ran away when he saw Matt being hit.
The plot! The plot!
Austin and Brad grimaced in pain at the same time.
"You guys are so stupid. Chase them!!" Adrian's orders.
"Huh! There's no need to hit." Brad scolded.
"Go."
Brad and Austin change themselves and go after Matt's two friends. Adrian transforms himself into a wolf and helps Roland. Zach still fights but doesn't change himself. With Adrian's help, Roland could easily defeat Alex. Roland and Adrian come to Zach. Seeing the danger coming, Ben immediately went to escape. Zach wants to chase but his hands are held back by Karen.
"Z-Zach... Se-se-wolf..." Karen pointed at Roland and Adrian who were still in the form of wolves. Karen looked very scared. How not, he had only seen such a big wolf in his life.
"Uhm.. Karen.. I'm.."
Bukk!!
There was a sound of a punch on Karen's head and immediately Karen fell unconscious. Zach quickly catches Karen's fainted body and stares at the hitter.
"Hey.."
