House of Night
Its Monday morning seven thirty and I'm getting ready for school, once I'm dressed in Black skinnies and black all stars with a Blood red spaghetti strap t-shirt on I head into the bathroom to do hair and makeup. I decide to leave my hair loose today and I go dramatic on the makeup with thick brown winged out eyeliner and mascara along with blood red lips the same shade as my top. I looked into the mirror I saw an emerald eyed girl with straight bright orange hair reaching down to the floor with a heavy rock star fringe staring back at me. I smiled at my reflection and opened the door almost running into some tall black haired (and totally hot) guy standing there, a blue crescent moon with swirly patterns on his forehead, I grinned widely knowing why he was here and that I had been waiting since I was born "Lets get this over with" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes at him "Chloe Hall" he started in a regal voice "the house of night has chosen and marked thee since birth, it is time you took residence at the house of night where you belong" he pointed to me and then, my head exploded in pain. I woke up laying on the bathroom floor my head resting on a pillow I stood up and looked once more at my reflection to see my crescent moon outline but I couldn't see it due to the note written on it in my red lipstick 'See you there' was written in an elegant script, I wiped it off and was shocked at the stranger I saw, my eyes were brighter and my skin was so pale it was practically white but I wasn't paying attention to this. My mark the supposed to be blue outline of a crescent moon was black, coal black and coloured in but I couldn't worry about that I grabbed my bag (already packed) tied my hair up into a loose bun to avoid tripping over and slid my snake Jeckel onto my shoulders and charged towards my front door grabbing my car keys on the way I ran outside to my car seeing the backs of two girls one with raven black long straight hair and electric pink highlights the girl next to her also had long straight hair but this was midnight blue with scarlet red highlights, they whirled around and I saw they were both purple vampyres the one with black and pink hair had swirls and bat wings framing her mark and the other one had eyes framing hers, they were both very beautiful in a very straight way.
The one with the black hair smirked at me and said "We'll drive you to the House of Night."
The other one said "Won't be able to drive yourself once the coughing starts."
And as if on auto que I burst into a coughing fit. They rolled their eyes at me and dragged me along, to my gorgeous neon green mini convertible.
Midnight blue sighs and says "here we go again."
Raven black says "yeah but she's different her mark's filled in and blacker than my hair!"
Midnight blue retaliated sarcastically with "because we really need another 'special' fledgling" So now I was special? Great, did they expect me to save the world like that Zoey redbird chick? I contemplated these things as they bundled me into the back of my car and started driving towards my new home... The House of Night. Once we got there I stared up in awe at the amazing building I got out of the car and the two girls dragged me along to the professor building and up the stairs. I stumbled into an office and stared up at Zoey redbird vamp high priestess of all priestesses and a majorly huge deal. She took one look at me grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside her office nodding towards raven black and midnight blue "Thank you Saffron and Anya, you can go now" she said sounding worried.
So I now knew that their names were Saffron and Anya, but I didn't know who was who. I looked around Zoey's office and quickly saw her husband Stark, standing in the corner aiming a bow and arrow at me, I gulped loudly knowing that if he decided to kill me it would happen, he never missed his mark and he was stood there, aiming at me! I only just arrived and already the vamp high priestess of all priestesses husband hated me? I sure knew how to make friends quickly... but luckily Zoey intervened "Stark, not only is she a new and even more unique fledging for the house of night she's just a kid and most likely has no idea who her real mother is and from the look on her face you're scaring her to death so put down the damned bow and arrow!" She was wrong about the second part, I know exactly who my mother is, her name is Neferet and she was the high priestess of this house of night before she went all insane and evil, so I understood perfectly why he was aiming at me, he nodded his head lowered his bow and smiled apologetically at me. Zoey gave him a dismissive look and with a cocky smile, he walked from the room, leaving me and her alone she probably wanted to talk about my coal black coloured in mark or my mother, great just great. "Chloe, you probably know what I want to talk to you about" She started off what I was sure was going to be a mini lecture in a calm and kind voice. But I was majorly pissed off, who said I wanted or even had to talk to her about these things, I quite like ignoring them as it happens, as these angry thoughts swirled through my head the things in the room started violently shaking, cutting Zoey off mid lecture, not that I had been paying attention to her. "Are you doing that?" She enquired in a confused voice, "No I thought it was you" I replied sounding as pissed off as I felt, "Try and calm down" she told me, sounding a little worried, her worried voice worried me in turn and so I began to cool off by occupying my mind with other things like, Why do Scotland have their own currency, and how do they make scotch eggs? The room stopped shaking as soon as I calmed down, which scared and confused me and when I got scared I got angry, thus making the room shake all over again. "Well this is just great!" I said sounding shaking and close to hysterics "I never asked to be special, is it too hard just to be a normal fledgling?"
"I felt that way too at first, you'll get used to it eventually!"
"So what did you want anyway?" I snapped and the room shook more violently than it already was " Well, you're a new fledgling and I make a point of meeting and greeting them, and due to your strange markings I shall also be your mentor" as she spoke I calmed down and the room stopped shaking " The girl with the eyes in her markings is Saffron, she has visions and my friend Aphrodite is her mentor, the boy who marked you is named Tom and is obviously a tracker, being a full Vampyre he shouldn't have a mentor, but he changed almost as soon as he reached the house of night, so his mentor is Stark and he is still a student here, the girl with batwings in her marking is Anya, she is very close to Saffron and they share a cat named jadeybob. Anya's power is telepathy and Stevie Rae is her mentor.' She said, explaining things to me as a way of keeping me distracted. 'Oh, and before I forget, welcome to the house of night...'
