Chapter 4-3

"Uncle! I got a troublemaker here! He tried to throw a friend of mine overboard and started a couple of fights and riots."

I think both Bram and me got scared while looking at Joy's Uncle. He was a human that was built like a fortress. He was unnaturally huge with broad shoulders and great height even by sitting down.

"Okay well, I guess he will stay down here until we get to land and then I can punish him there," he even had a scary, deep voice, "now, Joy please remove the spell."

She removed the hair off the doll and the guy walked into the room he was pointing towards.

"Ash, Bram, this is my Uncle Wilhelm, Anna's Dad. He's head of safety and security at school."

"I guess I will be seeing you two a lot."

"Um, we are not troublemakers, sir." Bram stuttered while I stayed silent.

"Oh, I'm not calling you two troublemakers, it just people are still hating werebeasts and I could tell that you," points to Bram, "are a vampire, the red eyes and fangs give it away. Plus, Joy is very hot-headed." She stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm just saying the truth. Your temper has gotten you in trouble before."

"Well, we will do our best to stay out of trouble," I told him.

"Good, could you three run along? I would like to talk to the boy you brought in. He needs to learn that his behavior will not be tolerated here. I had enough to deal with werebeast haters last year."

We nodded our heads at him and walked out together.

"Joy, I knew that you were always a little scary but now I see where you get it from." Bram pointed out. "He could scare a starved vampire!"

"Nope! His wife is related to my mom. If you ever meet my mom, then you will understand where I get my nice personality!" she looked up at my head and started to laugh, "Ash, your hair is spiking up!"

I tried my best to fix my hair but the seawater dried out and made it stiff. She grabbed both Bram's hand and mine, and started dragging us off somewhere. She stopped by a room that had our bags in it.

"Grab your school clothes and then follow me because you might as well change due to us almost being there."

The three of us went into our bags, grabbed our clothes, and then Joy took us to two large bathrooms.

"Wow! Boats are so huge!" I said while looking around, "Joy, how do you know where to go?"

"Uncle told me where everything is so I wouldn't get lost."

Bram and I walked into the left bathroom while Joy went right. The bathroom was fully equipped with a large multi-shower area; the only problem was that there was no curtains separating each part. We looked at each other, and we both had a nervous look on our face.

"Well, this is awkward."

"We might as well get it over with before anyone else tries to take a shower as well," Bram said as he grabbed some towels. "Then, awkward will be an understatement here."

I guess that there is a day in everyone's life where someone has to swallow their pride and shower in front of their best friend. I just hope he does not see my little secret.

"Dude! You got a little puffball tail! It's so cute!"

Damn! He saw my tail after all that hard work trying to hide it. Might as well get it over with and I walked into the shower. I saw his hand reach for my tail during the shower. I smacked his hand away from my tail.

"Bram, don't do it. If you touch my tail, I will rip out some of your hair and give it Joy."

"Geez, someone is easily pissed off when naked."

"Do you even realize how wrong that sounded right now?"

I have to laugh when he face-palm after that. Luckily, the shower did not get any more awkward after that. When we got dressed, I found out that the school pants made a hole for my tail.

"Oh great, I hope no one will make fun of me."
