((from the Garden- if you havn't read it yet, please do. you will find out that James Motter is very much alive, and how he was before he vanished))

Alex looked into the cave. She turned to Diana, who had been following her. "I was told that if you ask a question into the cave, your echo will come back as the answer." Alex took a step further into the cave. "Is James Motter currently 100% human?" Alex shouted into the cave. The response was
"Noooo...."
Alex pursed her lips. "Was he ever a full human?" She closed her eyes and awaited the answer.
"Yes, he was....."
Alex blinked at this. "What is he now?" Alex took another step deeper into the cave.
"He is human...and vampire...and....." The echo got quieter as it spoke, so Alex didn't hear the last part. She turned to Diana, who shrugged.
"What is James Motter besides human and vampire?" Alex looked around the cave. It was beautivul...littered with shining crystals and stelagtited and stelagmited that gave the cave the feeling it had fangs.
"A demon....." The echo answered in response. Alex looked at Diana. A demon... she mouthed. Diana slowly nodded. Alex knelt at where she was standing.
"Where is he now? Who is he now?" Alex was starting to shout.
"One question at a time....."
"What happened to my grandfather? The one I knew as a kid? The one what watched clouds with me? What happened to that James Motter?" Alex felt a cool drop of water fall on the back of her neck.
"He is now the headmaster of another academy..." Alex looked at Diana again.
"What academy?" Diana ran up to where Alex knelt. "What academy is he at now?"
"The Faded Academy..." The echo seemed to ring this time.
"Ever heard of it?" A;ex asked Diana more quietly, so she wouldn't create an echo.
"Never..." Diana and Alex just starred into the cave.
The Faded Academy.....

"Maybe he left when he turned into a vampire... Maybe he didn't want us or the academy exposed to himself...or vampires and demons in general. Do you know if the academy started out as a school for just humans?" Alex tilted her head at Diana.

Alex shrugged. "My echo knows," then, more loudly, "was this academy ever and academy for just humans?" Alex awaited the response.
"Yes....." Alex smiled
"Aha!! I think we have it figured out..." Alex took a backward step toward Diana. "He must have made the academy for humans, but once he got turned into a vampire and demon, he mus have abandoned the academy, most likely for it's own good..." Alex blinked, puzzled.
"How do you know all that??" Diana tilted her head at Alex. Alex bit her lip.
"A guess, I suppose. It makes sense though..." Alex looked down.

Alex looked down. "Yeah, kinda far-fetched," she took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh.

Alex nodded a bit. "I just don't know what to do..." She took a sharp breath, trying to hold back tears. Suddenly, a shout came from inside the cave, and a black shadow creeped along the walls. Alex held her breath and slowly turned to Diana. "What's that...?" She whispered, backing up slowly. The shadow became larger, and it was no longer possible that it was human, or in human figure, even.
