Chapter one
Katie's POV
It's one thing to be a teenager and have to worry about exams. But it's another thing to be tracked and turned into a fledgling. That's right. I'm now a fledgling and today (tonight?) I have to go to the House of Night. Luckily, one of my friends was turned a couple of months ago. So I won't be on my own. This friend is Lizzie. She's 5"8, has light brown hair and blue eyes. We're quite similar, but I'm only 5"7 and my hair is a darker shade of brown. I met her in health and social care last year and we've been friends since. We still talked, even after she was turned, and she said that she's made loads of new friends that I would love. She told me that she was going to meet me at the gates when I arrived. I guess she was informed of my turning.
When I got to the giant building known as the House of Night, Lizzie was stood there as promised. But she was with an older woman; I'm going to assume she's the head or something. As soon as I stepped onto the school grounds, Lizzie flung herself at me before yapping on about anything she could think of. The one thing I did catch was that I was going to be in a room by myself because all the other girls had a roomie. Just great. I'm a loner, then again having my own room could be an advantage. I let my thoughts wonder with this as she and the woman ushered me toward the building.
Apparently I had entered during lesson three, so the corridors were abandoned. I got introduced to my time table that had a range of classes I could choose from, and Lizzie was supposed to show me where my dorm room is at the end of the day (well, night). The woman, Neferet I think she said she was called, was rather nice but I was glad when she dismissed us so she could arrange a teacher to be my mentor. I was about to ask Lizzie who her's was, but I didn't get time as we arrived at my chosen lesson. Which was Drama for this period, because the other choices were all music based and I was certainly not musically talented. We walk in and I can see the teacher talking to the class but when we come in he stops and when he turned round, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Lizzie's POV
Oh, great. She's staring at the teacher. What. The. Hell. I can't wait to get this done with so I can go back to music where Emily is waiting for me. My other friends Beth and Alex were in different classes to us. Alex was in her voice lesson (i.e. singing) and Beth was doing drumming. Me and Emily are doing just general music and well Katie isn't exactly talented in the music department so she's doing drama. Speaking of Katie… I elbow her in the ribs and she shoots a glare at me and when I look at the teacher he looks as if he's trying not laugh as he looks at me expectantly.
"Professor Night, this is the new fledgling. I'm just here to drop her off before I head over to my music lesson" I tell him and he nods.
"So, I assume you enjoy drama?" he asks Katie.
"Well…" she begins but I glare at her, knowing that she was going to tell him that she didn't mind it but she would rather be doing something else. She then holds her hands up in surrender and Professor Night just smiles at us.
"Thank you, Elizabeth. You may go now, I'll make sure she is attended to and knows where her next lesson is" he reassures me and I nod before leaving.
I was walking along the corridors towards my music lesson when Stark, my boyfriend, jumped out at me making me jump. I slap his arm and he just does that cocky grin that I love.
"Don't scare me like that! I know you don't have to go to lessons but shouldn't you be helping out with the archers or something?" I ask and he just shakes his head.
"Nah, I'm on a break. There's no more archers until later so I've got free time" he says while winking at me and I just roll my eyes playfully.
"Well, I have lesson" I tell him before walking past him and carrying on down the corridor. He catches up to me in no time.
"Fine. But at least let me walk you there" he insists and I accept. He stuck to his word and walked me there and we had a nice conversation on the way while holding hands. When we got there I gave him a sweet kiss which he tried to deepen but I stopped it and he did that playful pout at me that makes him look funny. I kiss the pout away before saying goodbye and heading into the class where Emily is sat waiting.
Emily was about 5"8 as well maybe half an inch smaller but that didn't really matter. She had Brown hair as well but hers was darker, and she also had blue eyes like the rest of our little friends group. It sounds rather weird now I say it, everyone in your little friendship group has blue eyes and brown hair; well, bar Alex who has blond hair. I go over and take my seat next to Emily and she looked at me expectantly. She probably wants to know what happened with Katie then.
"Yes, she's in the school but she's doing Drama because she sucks at music." I tell her and she just about manages to stifle a laugh.
"Oh, and she also has the hots for Professor Night" I tell and she looked at me gob smacked.
"Who could blame her? I would if it wasn't for Zac" she tells me and I do see her point. Zachary, or Zac for short, is Emily's boyfriend. He's 6"1, has luscious brown hair and emerald green eyes. He also has an Irish accent that Emily absolutely loves. She is such a sucker for Irish people.
Katie's POV
"What's your name?" Professor I'm too sexy for my shirt asks and I smile at him as I answer.
"Katie" I inform him and he returns the smile.
"Hello and welcome to my class. I'm Professor Night" he introduces.
"Hello Professor Night" I say with a little wink and he looks rather startled but he just smiles as he motions me towards an empty seat at the front of the class. I take my seat and pull out my fledgling handbook and start flicking through it while he talks about the play Romeo and Juliet. There was no need for me to pay attention seeing as I've learnt about Romeo and Juliet like four times already…
