A little bit of fan fiction to pass the time.

“In you go, i’m not going to be late because of you”

Fai felt Zoie give him a solid push through the door.  He rolled his eyes as he started walking towards his chosen spot that would provide him the least amount of interaction with other students when he felt another tug on his arm as Zoie redirected him down the second row. Then another push planted him smack in the middle of the second row of seats.  Right in the middle of all the students.

“What are you…” Fai snapped off before Zoie held up a finger to her lips.

“I’m making sure you don’t bail out the window or something.  Trust me, you really do need a make-over and Asher won’t steer you wrong.  If you are going to hang out with Asher, then it means i’m going to be seen in public with you.  Right now this is charity work that i’m talking to you.  Tomorrow we are telling everyone that you missed the first day and that you don’t know anything about a nerd who has the same name as you.”

Biting back a sarcastic remark Fai spun back around in his seat and flipped open his book.  “Whatever.”

“What are you reading anyway?”

“Anita Blake”

“I’ve heard of it but never read it.  Any good?”

Fai spun back around to look at Zoie.  On one hand she might be just trying to make small talk, but on the other hand, the way she pitched her voice showed a hint of actual curiosity.  “No, its horrible.  The author has no clue what she is talking about, and even worse, has no clue how to write a proper story.  It’s like she just makes it up as she goes along and when she writes herself into a corner, she just hands her characters more power so they can succeed.”

“Hum, well why read it?”

“I don’t know,” Fai shrugged and pondered for a moment.  No one had ever asked him before.  “I suppose I have this fascination with vampires as they are portrayed in media.  So many different variants, so many different myths.  I’m always curious what people perceive vampires to be like and how the myth has evolved over time.”

“hummm, and?”

“There is a mix.  The oldest stories are heavily slanted towards vampires being akin to demons.  Clearly church propaganda.  The newer stories have vampires still being demons but on the side of good.  I find it quite interesting.” Assuming the conversation had come to an end, Fai turned back around.

“So what would you do if you ever met a vampire.”

“Hum.  Perhaps ask it if it had ever read any of the novels, and see what it thought of them.  What about you…” Fai asked without turning around.  “Any thing you would want to do if you met a vampire?”…
