Author's Preface:

So, I know I am known for my series Sands of Darkness, but I've seen other stories like this and I've always wondered what it would be like to write one. I'm going to be using OC's I've already been given in the story, but at some point I may open up OC requests. I hope all of you like this story, and I hope those who are readers of Sands of Darkness love this story just as much as Sands of Darkness.

Forever a writer,

Darkstalker728


Chapter One

And, the first chapter in this book is going to be from the point of view of...COBRA! Hope y'all like this!

Cobra sat in the seat of his motorcycle, looking at the campus of Jade University from the parking lot. He ran a hand through his sandy blonde hair, trying to smooth it back. Finally, he put the kickstand down, getting off his motorcycle and taking the key from the ignition.

He unstrapped his backpack and duffel bag from where they were on the back of his bike, swinging his backpack over his shoulder and putting the strap of his duffel bag across his chest, resting on one shoulder.

He walked through the main door of the University, squinting slightly as his eyes adjusted to the bright lighting of the main building. Glancing around, he sighed; He was probably never going to find his way to his dorm room.

"Do you need help?" A voice said, and he turned to find a woman standing beside him, her black hair going down to her shoulders.

"Yes, I could use some help." Cobra admitted. The woman looked him over, and he shifted self-consciously. He was wearing what he wore almost every day, a gold tank top with black jeans, combat boots and his pilots jacket. Inside one of the pockets of his jacket were his aviator sunglasses.

"Based on how you're dressed, I'm guessing your Cobra." The woman said finally.

"How'd you know that?" Cobra asked, stunned.

The woman made a dismissive gesture with one hand. "Oh, your picture was in the database, and it's a habit of mine to memorize all the new freshmen." She held out one hand. "My name is Fatespeaker by the way."

Cobra took her hand cautiously, shaking it. "Do you teach here?" He asked curiously.

"Heavens no!" Fatespeaker exclaimed. "I'm just the on-campus counselor."

A walkie-talkie crackled at Fatespeaker's waist, making Cobra jump. "All staff, please be on high alert. A freshman student named Peril has set fire to the trash can in the girls lounge and is now on the run. If you see her, please escort her to my office."

Just as the walkie-talkie fell silent, there was a commotion in one of the hallways that led off of the main building. A girl with coppery red hair shot from the hallway, pushing past students and jumping over things in her path.

"One second please." Fatespeaker said, and took a few steps away from him as the girl approached. As she passed Fatespeaker, the counselors arm shot out, grabbing the girl by her forearm and jerking her to a stop.

"Peril, you're in big trouble now." Fatespeaker said in an irritated tone, marching the girl past Cobra. As they passed, Peril glanced at Cobra and smiled at him, winking with one of her bright blue eyes. Cobra stood there after they had left, not sure what to do.

"All students, proceeded to the Jade Hall building." A voice said over the speaker system.

Cobra looked around as people started moving in one direction. Shrugging, he followed them, hoping they knew where they were going.

A/N:

So, how do you like my new story? I'm trying my hardest to keep it realistic to regular University standards. Next chapter is going to be from Peril's point of view, then the third one is going to be from Moonwatcher's point of view! I am soo excited to finally try writing a story from the perspective of my favorite character. Hope you'll continue reading this!
