Spike was still trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. First, he finds out that the monsters he's read so much about actually exist. Second, he is enrolled in a school for exclusively for monsters. Third, he's told that he has some magical destiny shit about bringing humans and monsters together. And finally, there's a possibility that he'll get eaten if the others ever find out that he's human.

The Headmaster did everything he could to explain to him what his role as the Guide-Light implies. Apparently, he's the one to bridge the gap between monsters and humans. He'll probably be expected to fight both humans and monsters alike to achieve the goal of the Guide-Light. Spike was confused.

"Do I even want to do this? Do I want to be the Guide-Light? Headmaster Grogar did place a lot on my shoulders in a short amount of time. How am I even supposed to start doing my 'duties as the Guide-Light?" Spike thought to himself.

Before he could try to figure out an answer, Spike felt himself collide with something the instant he turned the corner. No, it wasn't a something, it was someone! He had accidentally ran into another person while trying to turn the corner! They both grunted fell to the floor, with Spike landing on top of this person. Wincing in pain and rubbing his head, Spike was the first one to speak.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to... ", Spike apologized. However, he wasn't able to complete that sentence after he opened his eyes.

What he saw shocked him to his very core. He was staring right at an upturned skirt, giving him a full view of red lace panties and smooth and plump legs. His eyes widened in shock and he started to panic. He quickly moved away from the girl.

"I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean to run into you! Really! I would never do this on purpose!", Spike quickly apologized.

He opened his eyes to see a gorgeous, yet shocked female face staring right back at him. Spike could hardly believe it. This girl was absolutely beautiful. She was around his height from what he could tell. She had shoulder-length purple hair with a two different shaded streaks of light pink running through them. She had large eyes that were a lovely shade of violet. She was wearing a typical female school uniform with the exception of a little pin on her collar in the shape of a bat. This girl had skin that looked creamy pale. She was quite slim, but still was quite curvaceous. Spike could tell that she was a C-cup. She pulled her skirt down over her exposed panties. The girl stood up, dusted herself off, and tried to regain her composure. She looked at Spike with a red flush to her cheeks and with her eyes turned towards to ground.

"It's okay. It was an accident. No one means for these things to happen.", the girl said before walking away quickly.

Spike could only watch her leave. He had just bumped into a girl. A very beautiful one, at that, too. Spike could only sigh and left to go to his first class for the first full day of school.

He pulled out his class schedule and saw that he had Homeroom for his first period class. The teacher's name was Ms. Cheerilee. With a name like that, she must be very nice. He continued walking down the hallway until he found the room he was looking for.

"Okay, if I'm going to survive in this scary-ass place, I just need to keep a low profile and not draw any attention to myself.", Spike thought to himself as he opened the door.

The second he opened the door to his Homeroom, he found that the room was filled with students who each had their own seats and workstations. There weren't any individual desks, instead they were built like the seats in a sports arena. The other students instinctively turned their heads and looked at the new student to just walk in the door. He said nothing as he walked all the way to the highest row of seats in the very back of the classroom. He took his seat next to the window and looked out at the moonless night sky. He hoped with all of his heart that he wouldn't stand out.

Now that he got a better look around the class, he could see that it was mostly made up of girls, with only four other males including himself. He could also see that the girls in this class were drop-dead gorgeous. Sure, they all may be in their human forms right now, but Spike intended to enjoy the sights while he could.

As soon as the first bell rang, the Homeroom teacher walked into the room. She was wearing a red sundress, a gray sweater, and black shoes. She was beautiful, too. She had light pink hair, with slightly darker strands here and there. Her eyes were a light green in color. Her breasts were a respectable BB-cup. She smiled and waved her hand at the class before her.

"Good evening, everybody! My name is Ms. Cheerilee, and I'll be your Homeroom teacher for the year! I hope you're all ready to have a wonderful freshman year here at our illustrious Dreadmire Academy.", Cheerilee said in a voice that would make anyone feel like she was the gentle mother of their dreams.

"Good evening, Ms. Cheerilee!", the rest of the class said in unison.

"Now, we don't have any lessons today because it's the very first day of school. Today, you're just going to going around to each of your classes and meeting your teachers. For right now, let's introduce ourselves to our fellows here. You'll give your name, dream job, and what species you are. Then I'll go over what you should expect from Homeroom this year.", Cheerilee informed the students. "I'll go first. My name is Ms. Cheerilee. I'm a Crocotta. I'm already doing my dream job: being a teacher.".

Spike started to panic! When she said that she wanted everyone to tell them what species they are, Spike knew he was in trouble. He tried to think of what to do.

"Okay, think, Spike! Think! What species should I tell them I am?! Wait, I could just tell them I'm anything! It's not like they're going to see what I really look like. I think I should be okay!"

His thoughts were interrupted by Ms. Cheerilee clapping her hands.

"Alright, everyone! Lets get started."

Spike's Homeroom

"Let's start with any volunteers.", Ms. Cheerilee said.

As soon as she said that, a tomboyish and somewhat raspy voice spoke up. "Me! Me! I'll go first!"

"Okay, you go first.", Cheerilee said.

A short, petite girl with rainbow streaks through her hair confidently strode up to the front of the class and introduced herself.

"My name's Rainbow Dash! I'm a totally awesome Harpy and someday, I want to join the Wonderbolts! For those of you who don't know, the Wonderbolts are the most amazing and elite flock of flyers this side of the Mississippi!", Rainbow introduced.

Spike decided to take in all of this info on his new classmates. Maybe he could try to befriend some of them, if only to see if they won't want to eat him if they ever find out that he's human.

Rainbow was shorter than Spike, only coming up to Spike's chin from what he could tell. She a had petite figure with B-cup breasts. Her face was so childlike and cute that it contradicted her obvious tomboy attitude. Her eyes were a dark magenta and her skin looked quite creamy. She had a confident and mischievous smirk on her face as she introduced herself.

As soon as she sat down, another student walked up to the front of the class. One of the boys. He had a short and stumpy build, light brown hair, and two buck teeth.

"Hello. My name's Snips and I'm a Saurian. I want to be a barber one day and inherit my grandpa's barber shop.", Snips introduced.

As soon as he sat down, the guy he was sitting next to took his spot to introduce himself. He was tall, skinny, and had light blue hair.

"Hi, my name's Snails and I'm an Orc. Someday, I want to be a marine biologist."

After he sat down, the third male in the class went to speak. He had pale skin and dark brown hair. He spoke with an English accent.

"Hello, my name's Pipsqueak Broadmoor. I'm a Kelpie. I want to run a seafood restaurant one day."

A tall girl with tan skin, blonde hair, freckles, and a cowboy hat went up next.

"Howdy, partners! The name's Applejack. I'm an Ogre. My dream is simply to continue to help my family run their apple farm.", she said in a voice that sounded like sugar and molasses was pouring out of her mouth.

Next, a gorgeous girl with alabaster skin and curly purple hair went up. When she was in place, she struck a pose and looked at the class the way a model would.

"Greetings, darlings! My name is Rarity and I'm a Jorogumo. My passion is to one day become a world-renowned fashionista!"

Spike could only stare at the beauty before him. She certainly had the figure of a model. Those D-cup breasts of hers looked like they would pop out of her uniform anytime she moved. Spike was secretly hoping they would.

After she took her seat, a girl with a big smile and pink poofy hair walked up to the front of the class.

"Hiya! My name's Pinkie Pie! I'm a Kitsune! My dream is be a professional party planner!", she exclaimed before bouncing back to her seat.

Spike noticed that this girl's boobs were bouncing about as much as her. They looked like balloons ready to pop! As soon as Spike got control of himself, a rather shy-looking girl slowly made her way to the front of the class. She looked at everyone through her strands of light pink hair with turquois eyes.

"Hello. My name is Fluttershy. I'm a Vouivre (vwee-vrah). My dream job is to be an animal caretaker.", she said with the cutest voice Spike's ever heard.

After introducing herself, she practically ran back to her seat. Immediately after taking her seat, three girls walked up to the front. Each of them were beauties. One of them has long and poofy golden hair and magenta eyes. The other had purple hair with green streaks tied in twin-tails and had dark purple eyes. The last on had light blue hair with darker blue streaks tied up in a ponytail and had purple eyes. The one with the golden poofy hair spoke first.

"My name is Adagio Dazzle. These are my sisters Aria and Sonata.", she said while gesturing to her two sisters. "We are Sirens. We each have the shared dream of becoming famous singer-songwriters, as well as swimming teachers on the side."

As they sat down, another girl with brown eyes, green hair, and freckles walked up.

"Hi. My name's Wallflower Blush. I'm a Kappa. I'd like to run a reptile sanctuary."

Soon enough, another girl took her place. She had black hair and purple eyes. This girl walked with an elegance and poise that Spike had only seen ladies in "Downton Abbey" do.

"Hello. My name is Octavia. I am a werewolf. My ambition is to join the Darkwing Orchestra as a cellist."

The girl she was sitting next to took her place, afterwards. She had pale skin, electric blue hair, and purple shades.

"Hiya, everybody! My name's Vinyl Scratch. But most know me by the stage name DJ Pon-3. I'm a vampire. I want to be the world's greatest DJ!", she said with a raised fist.

A girl with purple hair with teal green streaks walked up.

"My name's Starlight Glimmer. I'm a Rougaru (roo-ga-roo). I'd like to become a clinical psychiatrist.", she said.

Finally, it was Spike's turn. His hands were shaking when he went down to the front of the class and gulped as he spoke.

"Hi. My name is Spike Roman. I don't really know what my dream job is, yet. As for my species, I'm a... Ghoul."

A Ghoul was the only thing Spike could think of on the spot. He hoped it was enough. Thankfully, the class looked like they accepted that for an answer. Quietly sighing to himself, he went back to his seat. As soon as sat down, he heard the door open.

"Sorry I'm late! I had to use the restroom and lost track of time!", a female voice said.

That voice sounded familiar. He looked down and saw that it was the girl he bumped into earlier!

"Don't worry about a thing. You can just introduce yourself to the rest of the class. Just give us your name, species, and dream job.", Cheerilee instructed the girl.

She stood in front of the class and spoke clearly.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle Tepes! I'm a vampire. My dream job is to become a scholar.", Twilight said.

Cheerilee spoke next. "Thank you so much, Miss Tepes. You can sit next to Spike up there."

Twilight looked up and saw Spike. It got really awkward for a good bit after that. She slowly made her way up to the seat next to Spike. They avoided eye contact with each other the entire time. As soon as she sat down, she just stared at the front of the class without moving a muscle.

"Yep, this is going to be an awkward Homeroom.", Spike stated to himself in his mind.

To be continued

Monster Guide

Crocotta

Crocottas are monsters from African and Indian folklore. They are large hyena-like humanoid monsters with a bone-crushing bite. They are usually solitary creatures, only gathering together to breed or if need demands it. Like wendigos, crocottas can perfectly mimic human voices to lure their prey closer. Crocottas are known to dig up graves and eat fresh corpses. These creatures have been known to feed on humans, most eating certain parts of the body such as arms, legs, or specific organs. Crocottas can live for centuries.

Vampires

Vampires are pretty well-known monsters; nocturnal bat-like creatures that feed on blood. Some are solitary, but most live in nests of five to twelve individuals. Vampire nests are led by an alpha, who's the oldest one in the nest. Instead of the classic two fangs, vampires have a whole mouthful of needle-like teeth, which they can regrow if one becomes loose. Vampires produce a venom that numbs pain and makes their victim feel great. These monsters often bring prey back to the nest, where they feed on their victims for days or even weeks at a time. A vampire's sharp teeth, claws, and greater powers put vampires in the upper echelon of monster species. Vampires get stronger with age. These blood-drinkers reproduce by either turning humans or by breeding naturally. Natural-born vampires age to a certain point then they stop aging completely. Vampires can feed on animals, but human blood is most desired. Older or natural-born vampires have a great plethora of powers, such as wingless flight, summoning bats, and the ability to psychically communicate with vampires they themselves created.

Harpies

Harpies are half-human, half-bird monsters originally found in Greece. Harpies live in large flocks of up to thirty individuals. They nest on the tops of cliffs or mountains out of range of humans. Harpies are famous for a special defense mechanism called the "Insanity Shriek", where the flock will shriek at their opponents. This scream can cause temporary psychosis in the victim. Harpy feathers make good ingredients in various potions. Harpies have been observed hunting and eating humans, but they'll gladly eat other animals. Like birds, Harpies lay eggs. Harpies are one of the few monster species that are mono-gendered, meaning the entire species are made up of females. The only way they can reproduce is by mating with other monster species or with humans, the end result always being a new generation of Harpies. There was a reported case of a small Greek village being terrorized by a Harpy flock. They would kidnap men, rape them for breeding, and then eat them afterwards.

Ogres

Ogres are large humanoid monsters. They can stand over seven to nine feet tall. Ogres have a pair of bull-like horns growing either from the sides of their heads or the top of their foreheads. Females have smaller horns. Their size and strength makes them deadly opponents in battle. They normally live solitarily, but family groups have been seen. Ogres like to either live in mountain forests or lowland woodlands. Like humans, ogres are omnivores, but they are well-known for eating humans. Ogres have been known to mark their territories with the bones of slain prey or enemies.

Saurians

Saurians are humanoid reptilian monsters. They are tall and muscular in their builds with a strong tail. Saurians are great climbers and swimmers, giving them a good advantage over humans. Saurians live in small packs of up to six led by an alpha. If something happens to the alpha, the rest of the pack will fight for the position. They have a keen sense of smell, rivaling even that of a werewolf. They can also sense the body heat of nearby prey. Thick scales protect them from most attacks. They lay eggs. Saurians are strict carnivores, eating both animals and humans.

Orcs

Orcs are humanoid monsters with noticeably ape-like features, such as a flat nose and prominent canine teeth. They have thick, dark gray skin with ceremonial scars carved into them. Orcs are a warrior species, carving ceremonial scars onto themselves when they're young as a rite of passage. Orcs live in large war-clans, with some containing 1,000 members. Each one is led by an alpha and a shaman. Shamans perform the rite of passage for young Orcs by carving the scars into their flesh using a Crystal Dagger. If an Orc is dishonored, they scars are forcibly healed and they are banished from the clan. Orcs are omnivores with humans on the menu. Orcs live for battle and have a strong code of honor.

Kelpies

Kelpies are aquatic monsters from Great Britain and Ireland. These creatures have three distinct forms: their true form, their horse form, and their human form. The true form of a Kelpie is that of a green colored equine creature with a long mane and a fish-like tail, sharp teeth, and glowing white eyes. They mostly eat fish, other aquatic animals, or any other animal they find near freshwater territories, but they are famous for eating humans. They can take the form of a beautiful horse standing near the edge of water, the human will try to pet it, get their hand stuck onto the kelpie's mane, and get dragged into the water and eaten. Kelpies secrete a sticky substance and coat their manes with it. This substance is dissolvable in water. They can assume human form to lure humans close to the water as well. This species is mostly solitary, but some will inhabit the same body of freshwater if it's big enough. Their main weaknesses are iron and silver.

Jorogumo

Jorogumo are an all-female species of spider-like monsters from Japan. They often appear as beautiful women to tempt passersby into staying with them. They wait till they fall asleep, paralyze them with their venom, and wrap them up in their webs to eat later. Jorogumo webs are lighter and stronger that steel, so some clans of samurai have used Jorogumo silk to make better swords and textile armor. Jorogumo often live by themselves in houses with webs strewn in their main quarters along with the bones of their previous victims. Jorogumo can command spiders to do their bidding. Jorogumo reproduce by seducing human men and male monsters. In the case of human men, they are usually eaten afterwards. For male monsters, they become devoted lovers and mothers. A Jorogumo can lay up to five eggs, which she attaches to a certain part of the web. A Jorogumo's true form is that a woman with claws, fangs, six monochrome eyes, four spider legs sprouting from her back, and a spider-like abdomen protruding from the lower back. The only way to kill a Jorogumo is either by fire or a katana that's been given a Shinto blessing.

Kitsune

Kitsune are fox creatures from Japan. They come in distinct variations based on the number of tails they have. Nine-tailed kitsune are the most powerful of these variants. They are solitary creatures, only coming together to mate or celebrate a holiday. Some are kind and wise, some are mischievous tricksters, others enjoy causing harm to others. Like humans, kitsune are omnivores, but some kitsune have been known to eat humans. Those that do eat humans favor the brain. There are both male and female kitsune, but kitsune-human parings have been known to occur. Kitsune are some of the most powerful monsters in terms of magic power. Kitsune can take the form of a giant fox, a human, or a human with foxlike features. Kitsune have the sharpest claws of all monsters.

Vouivre

Vouivres are an all-female species of monster native to France. They can appear as beautiful women. A Vouivre's true form is that of a short armored serpent's tail for the lower half, while the top half is more human-like except for the reptilian eyes and claws. The lower half of a Vouivre's body is a short serpentine tail with armored scales, unlike their Lamia cousins. Another difference between Vouivres and Lamias is the fact that Vouivres have wings. Vouivres have a gem-like stone on their foreheads that acts as an extra-sensory organ, allowing them to sense targets from miles away. Vouivres are solitary in nature, carving out large territories near bodies of freshwater. They are strictly carnivores, being more than happy to eat humans.

Sirens

Sirens are part of the Mermaid family of monsters, alongside mermaids, selkies, and merrow. Sirens are famous for using their hypnotic voices to tempt sailors and other creatures to come closer before killing and eating them. A siren's scales are smooth like a carp's. Sirens usually live in small groups called "songs". They mate by luring in men with their songs and mating with them while they are under their control. They lay eggs, with one to three eggs in a clutch. They look similar to mermaids with the fish tail attribute, but their whole bodies are scaly, unlike a mermaid's. Sirens also can fly and swim with appendages that acts as both fins and wings

Kappa

Kappa are water monsters from Japan. Kappa appear as small turtle-like humanoids. They have a beaked mouth, small sharp teeth, large yellow eyes, a small hole on the top of its head, a green scaly body, webbed hands and feet, and a turtle-like shell on its back. Kappa have a small hole on top of its head that is usually filled with water, the source of its supernatural strength. If the water is spilled, the kappa will become weak and unable to fight. Kappa are known to feed on humans, dragging any human they see near a body of freshwater into the water to eat. When out of water, kappa cover their water-filled heads with a special scale they can remove and use as a helmet. If the scale gets damaged or destroyed, it grows back. A kappa can be tamed by either filling its head-hole with water or by feeding one a cucumber with your name carved on it. Kappa lay eggs for reproduction.

Rougaru

Rougarus are relatives of the werewolf. This species can be found in the wilds of France and the bayous of Louisiana. These monsters are described as being tall and thin, with shorter muzzles than a werewolf. They have long ears to give excellent hearing. They have greater speed and strength than humans. Their dietary habits are most interesting: they eat flesh and feed on blood. A Rougaru will often drain the victim of blood first, then eat their flesh. This species is solitary in nature and territorial. They can turn humans into others of their kind as well as breed naturally. They can shapeshift into the forms of other animals to throw humans off guard, such as a rabbit or a small bird.

Werewolf

Werewolves are monsters with power rivaling that of vampires. During the day, werewolves appear human. But when night falls or the full moon rises, these monsters turn into lethal wolf-like creatures that could one-shot a bear on steroids. Most of the time, werewolves live in packs but solitary individuals do exist. During the nights of a full moon, werewolves become more powerful and feral like most monsters. Werewolves are quite territorial when it comes to their own kind, but often share their territories with other monster species. These monsters can heal from most injuries, but they can be killed by silver weapons, fire, dismemberment, and decapitation. Interestingly, wolfsbane usually acts like a sleeping potion to werewolves. Werewolves reproduce by either breeding with their own species or by biting humans. Werewolves that sire offspring with humans produce a hybrid called "wolfmen".

Author's Note

Here's the new chapter for you all. Thank you for being so patient with me. I hope that everyone of you enjoys this story. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can make this better, please leave your suggestions either in the comments or leave me a Private Message. I check both of these frequently. I also gave them normal human skin colors to make their human forms more human.
