Mr McMahon's Institution for Gifted Young People. AJ looked at the words in the unmissable bold letters and almost Gothic font. The leaflet had come for her along with a letter and a few other things about the institution, as well as her schedule for the new year. Her mother had told her about the school along with the secret their family had harboured for generations, while also explaining that special gene all girls of her family had was active for her, hence it gave her the magical abilities of a witch. She would be able to do anything she dreamed of although the exact power she processed hadn't been made clear yet. As soon as her mother had realised she had contacted the school her grandmother had attended in the hopes they would accept her daughter and train her to control her magical gifts as well as be able to be part of the modern day society once again.
"Its the same school your grandmother went to dear. There will be others like you there" spoke the middle age woman, she never got to attend the school and neither of her children besides AJ had the gifts, she now knew why AJ was only ever told the stories by her grandmother. It was almost like the much older woman could sense which one of her grandchildren would be like her in some way or another. "You remember the stories she used to tell you. A regular school isn't the place for you any more. Say goodbye to your friends, me and your father will be dropping you off later on today. You will be meeting others attend the school" continued the dark haired woman, AJ only looked at her phone, she had no one to say goodbye to. After all she was the weird loner who no one who approach, in a way she knew why now, she was different and hopefully attending the school would wipe away the disappointment her parents had in her and she would find others who understood her like her grandmother did.
"There's no one to say goodbye to. I'm the weirdo and loner remember" responded AJ before walking from the kitchen and returning to her bedroom. She knew she would have to pack her things ready for leaving, the letter specifically said she would be living on campus. Her own dorm room although she would be in a block with others like her. She had also noticed the list of accepted special ones. Witches/Wizards, Vampires, Ghosts, Hybrids, Werewolves, Demons, Trolls, Sirens/Banshees. In her personal opinion she thought it was a joke but that soon changed when she went to her grandmother and seen how proud she was. As well as seen the yearbook she held of her time there. Even speaking of her best friends who were a mix of several different ones. Like herself Grandmother Lee was also a witch, an exceptionally powerful one during her prime yet now she was little more than a shadow in terms of power and considered delusional to think the school actually existed although she had published a few books on her time there which were popular amongst the teenagers.
Elsewhere in an unknown area of the country, Vince McMahon was keeping a close watch on all of his students. He had been preparing for when his latest one arrived, along with some of the others he had been contacted about. He knew all of his students were special in their own way, they were all considered to be outcasts in the norm society and even feared when the mortals realised what they were especially in the case of the witches/wizards, demons, vampires and werewolves, the hybrids were often overlooked and stayed hidden as did the trolls, although most of them had been hunted down and exterminated over the years. He knew AJ came from a long line of witches, hence why he was so quick to accept her. She was after all likely to be as powerful as her grandmother and possibly as imaginative too. Like with all the witches and wizards of the school he often wondered what special ability they had, he knew they could have anything from telepathy to shape shifting.
"Mr McMahon" came the voice of Vince's personal assistant Vicki Guerrero, like some of the others she had once be a student at the school and loved to help the current students. She had often found those who didn't know what they were special until they had caused some sort of accident or made themselves known to the mortals. "AJ Lee is only few miles away. Her room is also ready for her arrival. Shall I inform the students in her dorm block?" spoke Vicki her short hair done in away that looked smart, although she had jazzed it up a little bit with the glitter hairspray. She always had a smile on her lips when around the school although she could also be serious when she needed to be. Vince soon turned to her from his position, turning away from the floor to ceiling window that looked over the vast amount of lands which came with the school. A chuckle escaping his lips when he seen some of the others like AJ going around the school grounds appearing and disappearing within a blink of an eye.
"That's okay Vicki, I will tell them myself. I would like you to be there to greet our new student and show her to her room. Be the smiling and welcoming face of the institution" responded Vince, nodding to the shorter woman shortly after. A smile once again coming to his lips upon seeing some of his former students now teachers zipping around in an attempt to catch the ones who had skipped their lessons to practise their skills. He also remembered when his own father had stepped down and given him control of the school in the hopes it would carry on and be like an heirloom to so many future generations. Even his own two children attended the school. Shane still learning to control his although he had made so many close friends and was normally the one to help new students find their way. Where as Stephanie was the queen of the female students. Although she did have some trouble in the form of a resident vampire who didn't take orders very well. He knew Stephanie looked upon the immortal Paige as her mortal enemy despite the fact the raven haired teenager would always win.
Vince soon left his office going to the dorm block where AJ would be located, he made sure to catch the attention of all those who also called the block home, informing each of them he had an announcement for them although he never situated what it was about, he knew they would assume it was about the curfew that was in place due to the danger posed against them from the near by towns and city. The older headmaster also wasn't too surprised when he had to nearly drag Dean Ambrose back to the dorm block, his close friends in the form of Seth and Roman following close behind although both sniggering over what happened to their friend. He also had to catch the rebellious Paige in a containment spell to keep her from running off, although that wasn't anything unusual. He was however surprised when he had to entrap Finn of all people in one along side the other AJ of the school.
"Alright listen up" spoke Vince, his headmaster voice booming off the walls and echoing down the cold halls of the dormitory block. "A new student will be arriving today. She will be in Room 11. She comes from a family of powerful witches and like you doesn't know how to control her powers. You know what you have to do. Make her feel welcome and be like a family to her. That means no Hybrid tricks Dean and No vampire mischief. I'm talking to you Seth and Paige. Roman I also expect you not to scare her on the full moons" added Vince naming the ones who were known for playing silly sods with the unsuspecting ones. He soon let the containment spells go, allowing Paige, Finn and AJ styles to walk around normally again, although they now seemed more intrigued to know a new student was starting at the school and to learn she was a witch. After all they very rarely had witches in their dorm block.
"Interesting. Can't wait to meet this one. Wonder how long it will take her to transfer to the Bella's block?" asked Becky, she could remember the year before when Eva had returned to the school after a short period away. She thought she could handle being there with them, yet soon realised she wasn't as powerful as she thought she was and often found herself on the receiving end of Summer's Siren ways or even Alexa's twisted ghostly pranks. Strangely both the vampires of the block left her alone, even Dean did with all his mighty hybrid ways. Roman of cause staying out of it and watching from a far although he did try and calm things down a little bit. Eva soon requested a transfer to which she was moved over to the block known as the Witches Sector. The area the Bella's ruled over.
"You mean with your witchy ways, the vampire pair playing silly sods, Dean doing god knows what, Summer being well herself and singing, Finn and Style's literal Demonic ways, Roman transforming every month and Bliss's ghostly mischief. I'm sure she will fit in perfectly well. After all you're the only witch that has survived in this section. Although you have put Dean in his place on a few occasions" responded Bayley, the huggable one always with a welcoming smile, like Dean she was also a hybrid being the cross between as witch and angel. Where as Dean was a cross between the vampire and werewolf hence why he got on so well with both species. "Makes you wonder what the other new ones are going to be like since there is supposed to be a new one in every block" finished the lovable hybrid, she often wondered how so many of them could be different yet get on like they had known each other for their entire lives instead of a couple of years.
"Those three are going to be the worst for her to adjust to" spoke Alexa when she randomly appeared, she looked over to where Seth and Dean were happily teasing Paige, the English vampire clearly not impressed by their antics. "How is the most annoying ones are gifted with immortality? Oh I bet Paige will punch the pair of them since you chained them both to the chairs in magical history the last time" added the blond ghost, her hair up in pig tails as she looked over to where the three were, she often wondered how Paige hadn't staked the pair of them yet, although she could guess it was because she knew they were only messing with her. Bayley and Becky soon looked over to the smaller blond, the bets being their normal form of entertainment when they weren't allowed to leave the block, manly because of the carnival going on near by. Plus they were aware Vince would allow them to leave when the incoming thunder storm hit. After all the entertainment they made out of those storms often made others wonder about the building they called home and school. Although no moral would know what it was.
A few miles away AJ was in the back seat of her parents car, looking out the window as the scenery went passed and listen to the mix of songs playing through her earphones. She was feeling both down about attending the new school as she couldn't help but feel she was being abandoned by her parents, but at the same time she also felt excitement about being around others like her although she also felt nervous as she would once again be the new girl at the school. She soon seen her parents confusion, taking on earbud out she could hear as they seemed confused about the gated property in front of the car, they had arrived at the so called school. Her smile grew but it also confused her at what she could see compared to what her parents seen.
Her parents could see a derelict and crumbling stone building. The windows had been smashed in several places and the front pillars appearing to have old half ripped posters and graffiti on them, the doors having been kicked in, even the steps leading up to the building had been broken and withered with time. They could even swear some of the building had fire damage to it and they could hear the wind howling through the abandoned building. Yet AJ could see something different. She could see a beautiful stone building, and the tops to others just behind each with a different design to it. The steps were beautifully carved as the pillars had been recently painted. The general appearance giving off a peaceful area. The roses around the front of the house also gave of the appearance of a loving home rather than a school and the fountain in the middle of the drive way was breathtaking. She soon placed a hand on her parents shoulders, noticing how their confusion changed, now being able to see the stunning view she could. On the front steps was a middle age woman, a bright smile on her lips as she was dressed in black. A sense of professionalism about her, as well as a welcoming feeling.
"Welcome Miss Lee to Mr McMahon's Institution for Gifted Young People. I'm Vicki Guerrero Mr McMahon's assistant" spoke Vicki, shaking the hand of the girl who would be attending the school and living within the grounds of the property. Vicki soon clicked her fingers to remove the illusion and allow the girl's parents to see the magnificent building that served as the school area of the institute. "Would you like a tour with your daughter Mr and Mrs Lee?" asked Vicki offering to give AJ's parents a tour of the grounds. As well as the dorm in which their daughter would be staying in. She watched as both parents nodded and followed the woman when she walked up to the main steps and through the front door of the building, the noticed the plaque on the left side of the door, stating the name of the school, just as they noticed it was made of gold and had jewel stones creating the lettering. They were impressed and wondered if their little girl would fit in with the high standards that had clearly been set.
"We have the best technology to help our students in every way we can. And have a range of classes they can take. From the normal school curriculum to the extras of magical history and others depending on interesting as supernatural status. Since as you know we accept a variety of students here. Witches and Wizards being the main one of course" came the voice of Linda McMahon, she introduced herself as well as stating she was the deputy head of the institution, the bright and proud smile on her lips suggesting she enjoyed her work and often helped her students find their way back into society if they wanted to. Although she knew others felt more comfortable away from those who judged them for what they were rather than them as people. "You will be staying in Dorm Block C, from the questionnaire we sent you we have determined you would be most comfortable with students already located there. All have been warned of your coming although haven't been told your name" continued Linda as she showed each of the classrooms and some of the students working in them. She knew the school was highly regarded in terms of institutes in the magical community.
"What type of Supernatural beings am I sharing the block with?" asked AJ, curious to know about the people she would be calling dorm mates and likely friends. A smile appeared on her lips when she remembered filling out the questionnaire and she already loved how they took into count the difference in every student. Just as she was beginning to get curious about those in her dorm, she knew she would get to know them yet she wondered if they were witches like her or if they were a mixture of different ones. She had seen some high classes witches while walking through and also seen some playful ghosts playing tricks on some of those who couldn't get through the walls. "What sort of dorm will it be, like a shared bathroom or things like that?" added AJ, she had so many questions going through her mind and was still amazed by the architecture.
"You will be paired with another witch and a wizard, as well as a ghost, a siren, a pair of vampires, a couple of hybrids, two werewolves and a pair of demons. All of which have been warned of you coming. The girls all share a bathroom and shower area as the boys have their separate ones. Each dormitory has a different style. No uniform in required here, we encourage all our students to be themselves no matter how high end they are or the style" responded Linda walking out the back entrance of the main school building. A short walk later and through a beautifully sculpted black mental gate stood the mansions Linda had previous mentioned, each three stories high and had its own basement. All with a different styles to them, one was Gothic castle, another appeared with the old Tudor beams, another as a rather large farm house to the point it looked like a huge barn conversion, another looked like an old high end mansion found in New Orleans with the last of which appearing to be a modern day mansion. It was almost as if they showed the evolution of the mansions throughout time. Linda soon walked over to the one with the letter C on the front gate.
AJ was breath taken to see the mansion which would serve as her dorm, the beautiful white building with black decoration, the railing around the outside port and the first floor balcony, even the laterns on the either side of the front door were finished with perfection. The basement windows appearing to have been blacked out. The entire outside giving a welcoming and expensive feel, as well as making AJ herself feel like a princess, she couldn't wait to enter and see what things were like in doors. When Linda opened the front door AJ could see the slick white finish and black decoration had carried on through the main halls and the rooms they would all be sharing. The living room and dinning room had long drapes hanging in front of the walls, there was also a small area for the mail. The stair case also fitting the feel of the mansion, AJ even spotted the green house area, flowers and other things growing inside, the kitchen hidden in the back appearing to be fully stocked waiting for the students to raid it when they needed something to snack on. There was even a sun room to which AJ could see out into the garden area. Linda soon lead her up to the first floor, the older woman noticing the others who called the dorm home messing about in their own rooms, although she also spotted Alexa floating from room to room seeing what the residents were doing.
"Students" called Linda, watching as each of the bedroom door opened, some of them appearing well others just popped their heads out the open doors. "Come on you lot, come meet your new dorm mate" spoke Linda watching as they slowly appeared from their rooms. She noticed the three rather mischievous ones were together, the one who normally kept them under control stood near by. The twelve residents of the mansion lining up down the hall, each with an innocent look on their lips and each easily recognisable from the others, they had their own identity which was something AJ liked quite a bit. "AJ Lee, these are your dorm mates. The resident Ghost Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch is the other witch, Sami Zayn there is the wizard, Both Bayley Martinez and Dean Ambrose are the Hybrids, Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns are both werewolves, where as Summer there is the siren. That leaves the vampires which are Paige Knight and Seth Rollins, with both Finn Balor and AJ Styles being the resident demons" finished Linda introducing the twelve occupants of the dorm block to AJ and vice versa. Both AJ's finding it humorous especially since they had the same name yet were near opposite in every way.
"Good to meet you guys" spoke AJ waving at each of them and noticed how they had all waved to her when their names were mentioned. AJ soon spotted where her room was, she was located between Becky and Sami was well as across the hall from the pair of vampires and one of the hybrids. She soon noticed Linda and her parents had left her alone although she didn't feel nervous, if anything those she was going to be sharing the mansion with were giving off a sense of welcome, almost like they were the family she had been waiting for all the time she had been attending the normal schools. "So how do vampires get from the dorms from the main school building without burning up?" asked AJ, noticing the chuckles she got from the two whom she had been told were vampires, she had also noticed a symbol on each bedroom door and the name of who was supposed to be in there, each done with jewel stones for lettering.
"They take the underground tunnels, from the basement. That also where our werewolves gone during the full moons" responded Sami, opening his arms as if he was asking for a hug, while also opening her bedroom door to reveal all of her belongs had already been delivered to her room and unpacked for her. "Welcome to the supernatural version of Hogwarts just without the houses and the chosen one thing, oh and the wands for us witches and wizards" added Sami, he had a feeling the newest member to their dorm block was going to be a main stay, after all she didn't show nerves like some of the previous ones did and she didn't show fear towards the vampires, instead she had asked the question most would over look.
"Finally!" spoke Dean a hint of sarcasm clear to hear in his voice, before looking around the hall. The hybrid soon burst in to laughter upon realising they were all still standing in the hall like they were waiting for Linda to come back and tell them to go back to whatever they were doing before. "Yo Becky, could you remove the containment spell Sami put on us three please? its kind of annoying trying to go somewhere only to end up with a headache from an invisible forcefield" asked Dean, he was about to enter his room only to end upon the floor with Roman chuckling at him, he watched as Paige just patted around her to realise she was there and Seth was about to walk forward to greet AJ only to smack into the invisible wall, the poor vampire holding his nose. Bayley herself standing close by finding the situation rather amusing as was Bliss who was happily floating from one side of the hall to the other side taunting Dean as she went by.
"You're lucky I love you three" responded Becky before holding her hands out in front of her and whispering some words. She soon dropped her hands back to her sides before looking over at the two vampires and the hybrid with a small smile on her lips. She soon nodded to the new girl in the block, knowing she and Sami would be the ones she turned to for help due to them being like her in terms of supernatural status. "Anyone else looking forward to the storm coming later on. You vampires provide some pretty epic entertainment" added the Irish witch, she always loved to watch the vampires play random games in the middle of the storms. It was just how they did it and how they planned things out days in advance.
"That sounds interesting" came the chirpy voice of AJ Lee, she already felt as if she was part of the little family network, after all each of them had sent a welcoming smile her way as well as gone back to how they were almost immediately, instead of waiting she had left the area. "What type of games do you guys play in the storms?" she asked, her smile clear to see as was the interest in her eyes at learning the vampires could provide such entertainment when it come to the weather that normally stopped all kinds of fun. She felt even happier when Dean appeared next to her, wrapping her arm around her shoulders as he stood there pulling her slightly closer in what she assumed was a side hug. She felt completely safe despite knowing he was a hybrid of some kind and she knew from her grandmother there were many different types so she was also ready sure both Bayley and Dean were different types.
"We're planning baseball in the middle of the storm tonight. Every vampire or part vampire in the school will be there. The thunder makes it way more awesome" responded Dean, his signature cheeky smile appearing on his lips. "Oh and I'm a vampire/werewolf hybrid where as Bayley is a witch/angel one. Hence why she's so sweet and loveable. And quiet often the peacekeeper" added Dean quickly explaining how the two of them were different in terms of hybrids although that hadn't stopped them from being friends or even sharing a mansion like dorm. "Hope to see you there shorty" finished Dean before running off down the corridor. AJ soon picked upon what he meant and made chase, using her power to take his legs out from under him. Dean's laughter could be heard from the bottom of the stairs where as the other residents looked over the railing to see AJ smiling victoriously at him.
"Welcome to the mischief and magic dorm AJ. Hope you stick with us" spoke Roman, welcoming the other teenage witch to the dorm, he knew the others were set differently, like the trolls all having one of their own due to their only being a handful of them, where as there was others set by style and fashion, as well as popularity. Yet there own was basically being mischievous after all each one of them who called the place home had a been responsible for a trick or two, just as Dean, Seth and Paige were pretty much known for their mischief making and rebellious ways. "If you can survive Dean, Seth and Paige then you can survive anything. Think of Bliss as your prankster guardian ghost who attends classes with you" added the Samoan wolf, a smile appearing on his lips when Alexa sent the bite me look his way much to the amusement of the others.
"Oh this is gonna be fun. With Paige's on going war with Stephanie and Nikki walking around the place like she owns it as well as Maria being back. Should be an interesting year. Hopefully no one will crash our mansion this time" randomly said Finn, the memories of when Nikki's bunch at Dorm A tried to crash their little party, mainly because they threw it to celebrate Style's birthday, they had spent weeks planning it out to make sure it was the best it could be, although they had to cast a noise reduction on the mansion so they didn't disturb dorm B or D. "By the way what was that sign Summer put on the door just instead the main entrance?" asked Finn remembering seeing Summer put something on the wall just inside the main entrance to the dorm, he knew it was something sarcastic and probably cheeky as the smile Summer had plastered on her lips was one that had come infamous with the mischievous trio.
"We don't need a sign that says Do No Disturb. We should have one that say Already Disturbed Proceed with Caution" responded Summer, the blond with the same smile coming back to her at remembering being there and Linda no doubt keeping it there as she had told each of them to make the mansion like home, although they could only change the colour of the walls in their own rooms. The rest had to stay the same. "I can't believe how nice this place is, they really went all out over the time they threw us all out and put us in a more Hogwarts school" continued Summer revealing the mansion were actually a new thing and the teachers as well as Mr McMahon had sent them to different places to study while they were being built.
