The campus seemed to be a lot quieter then Charlie could remember it ever being. It was strange. He'd not seen Lizzy around in a while nor had he seen Mac or Amrita. To be honest, he didn't mind that he hadn't seen Amrita for a while. Now things felt a little on the tense side. She was his friend but it was slightly different from before. Mostly because now she was a lot taller then him and had boobs.
But that was okay, right?
Charlie wasn't the type to dwell on such depressing thoughts though. He was already out and about the campus busying him self with reading an A B C book which seemed to be a lot easier then he remembered. Charlie was practicing his reading in secret. Now that the Campus seemed to be a lot more quiet, it seemed to be the perfect time to go ahead and brush up on the old A B C.
"A is for ... Ap.. Ap.... Eyetunes?" Charlie scratched his head. Okay, so, maybe this was a lot harder then he first thought.

Where had everyone gone, really? Temes had been so sure that not long ago the halls were flooded with students, enough that she was getting bustled around with effortless ease, but now there was no one around and she was very clearly alone. Maybe it had something to do with the field trip she'd heard gossip about? Thoughts of a field trip did nothing but make her feel even worse and more afraid, so the coward has stayed behind and kept to herself. Her Thermos hardly left her hands and her mouth as of late, though as she took another sip while strolling down the Campus way the chupacabra was distraught to find it empty.
This needed to be remedied, and fast. Super fast. So the monster actually started to get a move on it, quickly, but she stopped when she thought a voice echoed over her ears. Her hearing wasn't as good as her smell (meaning her smell let her know for certain someone was there) and she found herself wandering closer and closer.
"Um....perdon, pero . . . .excuse me, but -" Temes stopped about five feet away from this new person, a Stranger she'd never seen, and her fingers curled hard against her Thermos. "Are....are you okay?" Perhaps they were doing their homework, is that what she'd walked in on? Maybe it would be best for her to go . . . .

The book had Charlies full attention. He'd find out what A stood for if he had to stutter his way through it all night and day. That was til he heard another students voice which caused Charlie to tense just slightly. Usually, Charlie wasn't one to be so jumpy but the voice had surprised him with most of the students being gone.
"Huh?" He closed his book and looked over his shoulder to find a ... red thermos? No wait. A red thermos being he'd by a student? Like that, the book was forgotten instantly. A small goofy smile curled on Charlies lips.
"Okay?" He repeated the end of the question. "Yeah. Just trying to figure out what A is for." Charlie tapped his book with the tip of his foot. "I'm still stuck."
Charlie was up on his feet and already headed for Temes. He was now just inches away from the monster.
"Wow! I'm taller then you. Your really short," He nodded and crossed his arms examining her.

Chuppi nearly shrank back into herself as the person came over, her tiny height of under three feet making pretty much everyone taller than her. Her nails scrapped against the varnish of her Thermos even more, a clicking sound being made. She needed to be brave and not run off, that much she knew, but she was getting really nervous. Being alone for all that time was ruining her social skills!
"Um...a....A is for apple, if you're curious. Or animal. Or angel." She ran a list of words in English down in her mind, having played the ABC game often enough to help herself keep on top of the language that wasn't her natural one. Her stutter wasn't a natural one, it was the result of trying to hard to find the right words to use! "And...and I am very small, it's not so hard to be taller than me. I am very heavy though, I think I weigh much much more than you."

Charlie him self only stood at a mighty four foot eight exluding his horns. His horns got him at five feet. So it was a bit of a treat to not crane his neck up to talk to some one for once. It gave the demon a small sense of importance. Charlie was not picking up on Chuppi's nervousness. Nope.
"A is for apple? Animal? Angel? OH SWEET!" He put his hands on his hips, "I'm a fallen angel! So A is for Fallen Angel." He nodded. It made complete sense. "Can you tell me what this is?" The demon had the book opened again and was pointing to the next page with a giant B on it. There were illustrations of bears all the page eating things like berries and being chased by bees.
"This reading thing is really hard. Can you help me short stuff?" He gave a cheshire like grin to Chuppi. Maybe she could help? Maybe she wouldn't catch on that he couldn't read.
"I've been reading all day so my eyes are really tired kay. So I need your help."

"Um....I..don't mind helping you, but fallen angel starts with an 'F', not 'A'. Fallen is 'F'. And for what is on the page...those are...bears? Yes, bears and berries. I think the bears are eating berries." Lucky for Charlie, Chuppi loved to read. A good part of being a recluse allowed her unlimited time to read books and stock up on her information. At least her English was holding out and her nerves were as well, though eventually she might need a drink of courage to keep going.
"Those...those things following the bears are bees? They make honey, I've never had honey. I can only eat blood, but people tell me honey is nice and sweet." Chuppi didn't know what sweet really meant but that was okay because she really liked blood and didn't need much of anything else. Chupacabras really liked blood.

"Fallen angel starts with an F?" Okay now he was confused. Charlie hadn't quite grasped the concept that Fallen Angel wasn't one word but two. He didn't question Chuppi further about why Fallen Angel didn't start with A though, instead the demon listened to her go on about honey and blood. "Blood?" His hand found his way to his horn, he grabbed hold and pulled his head to the side in a tilting fashion, "That sounds more like a drink. Can you eat blood pizza?" To be fair, blood pizza didn't make much sense. But Charlie didn't know that. "I wish I could only eat pizza." The demon added.

"I don't know what pizza is. I mean, I know what it is but I don't know what it is - I've never seen or tried to have one." Food was a topic the Chupacabra could talk about easily. Very easily, so she talked it about as often as she could. Of course there weren't always many people who could listen to her talk about blood? Very saddening. "But, mmm....blood is like more a drink I guess, but when I bite people to get it then it's like a solid food?"
When was the last time she'd honed her skills to go on a hunt? If she was getting rusty hunting for food as well she'd never be able to go back home. Her parents would laugh her out of the area and her siblings would tear her apart. "But also yes....F for fallen, A for angel. So fallen angel is two words, one F and one A."

DIDNT. KNOW. WHAT. PIZZA. WAS.
This caught Charlies attention like whoah. The demon listened to Chuppi as she went on but he was stuck at the fact this creature before him had been denied his favorite food in the whole halloween world! PIZZA!? It was a crime. A bloody crime.
There was long sleeve arm flailing at Chuppi now. What ever F and A could stand for was lost on the demon if but for a moment.
"YOUVE NEVER HAD PIZZA?! " The fact that Chuppi needed blood never crossed the demons mind. The fact a creature could go with out pizza and be just fine never crossed the demons mind. Charlies arms crossed in an awkward fashion with his long sleeves lazily sprawed this way and that way. One rested on his shoulder. But the point of the matter, those arms were god damned crossed.
"I think we need to get some pizza in you. Trust me. I'm a doctor." He wasnt. Trusting Charlie was probably one of the worst things anyone could ever do.

"Um...I don't know. Do you think I would be able to stomach that? I have only ever had blood before, so I don't know if I can even digest anything other than it." The monster had honestly never even tried to consume anything other than blood since it was all she was raised on. Would it make her sick or would she be fine - she didn't know.
"Tu eres un doctor? Um....then I guess I can trust you? I don't mind trying it then."

"Of course I think you can." Really Charlie had no idea. But the idea that some one couldn't enjoy pizza sounded to strange and complex for him to really comprehend. So he went with yes. Yes you can eat pizza.
However his attention was quickly grabbed by Chuppi's spanish. The demon had heard bilingual students before, most of them asian, but he'd never heard a student speak spanish. And even though he'd heard a few varieties of different languages, it never stopped amazing him.
"WHOAAAAAAH BRO! You talk weird! Thats awesome!" The look on Charlies face was one of pure amazement. "What did you say? Whats those words mean?" And now Chuppi opened pandoras box to explaining what spanish was.

"!!!!!! LO SIENTO LO SIEN- . . . .ehh...." Charlie's sudden amazement at Temes had shocked her into spouting more Spanish, though when she realized he wasn't trying to do much other than being amazed she calmed down, her quills settling down. She hadn't even noticed that they'd moved on her back and were almost standing straight up but now they curled and relaxed, their weight shifting the body of the little monster slightly. "Wha...I...speak Spanish, es mi primer idioma. It is my first language, English is my second." Her cheeks flushed brightly, coloring themselves a weird shade of red and green.
"What I had first said was 'you are a doctor?', and then I said I am sorry. When I get very surprised I speak Spanish, it's much more comfortable for me." And, to show that she really had been surprised, Chuppi pulled her Thermos to her mouth and started to drink from its contents. It would be empty soon, time to hunt would be upon her.

"First and SECOND language?" The demon was impressed and it clearly showed on his face just how amazed he was. Which was very amazed. "OH So that was what you were saying! I thought you were saying some thing along the lines of 'Your a really cool guy. Your the best.' Cause thats what I would be saying."
Charlie nodded at Chuppi. He couldn't help but notice her back, but he didn't comment on it. After all he had two black feathered wings on his back. They were comfortably snug against him though.
"When Im surprised I go AHHHHH. You should try that some time kay. I can help you if you want! First you open your mouth and then you make the noise AHHHHHHH. Seeee !" The demon opened and closed his mouth a few times in demonstration.
"I think your neat so we can be friends alright? But first we need to go to the kitchen to make you try pizza. You can put blood on it."

"I....don't think you'd want to hear me scream. My kind, when we scream, it's very bad for everyone. I am a Chupcabra, our eyes and our screams can paralyze people. It is how we hunt." This person was weird, would he honestly want a monster who could injure people with their voice to use it? It would be like asking a banshee to scream! As much sense as it didn't make, the word 'friend' was soon dropped into the conversation and Chuppi's face once again lit up like a green Halloween pumpkin.
"I...I would like to be your friend too, I do think you're very...cool? My name is Temes, but you can call me Chuppi if you'd like. Quien estas? Who are you?"

"Whoah? Really? Your a CHUcabrabrabra?" He couldn't pronounce the species name right. It would seem the word Chupcabra was a bit out of the demons grasp. But Chuppi had made her point about it not being a good thing for her to scream. Charlie actually dropped the subject entirely which was rare.
"Temes? I like that! Chuppi is cuter though so I'll call you that. Plus it makes a CHHHH sound like CHUcabrabra and Charlie. I'm Charlie by the way~" He held out a long sleeved hand for Chuppi to shake.
