The cold ice hit my face as I walked in the Tulsa House of Night.
I felt all eyes on me as I walked along. But I kept my head held high.
See, I wasn't like a normal fledgling. I had special marks. First off, my mark was black, and it had a bright red sun behind it. Not what I consider normal.
The marks are a whole story that's to long and hard for me to comprehend, maybe some other time.
But now, I had to find where my dorm is and everything. But before I could get to the office, a girl with some extra marks stopped me.
"Hey, would you like to eat with us?" She said. "Uh, well I have to find my dorm and-" She cut me off. "Real quick?" She said, looking at my mark.
Jeesh, that was annoying. But why not? "Sure, I guess I'm kinda hungry." I said, shrugging. She brought me to her table. There was two guys and four other girls. "I'm Rya." I said quietly. "Rya Deatheart." They gave small waves at me.
"Well, I'm Zoey Redbird. This is Shaunee and Erin. We like to call them the twins because they act a lot like each other." She was right. One was white and other one was black. Then she pointed over to the two guys. "This is Damien and Jack. There gay. Damien likes to use big words and Jack is good with technoloy." She said. They smiled sheepishly. "This is Stevie Rae. She rejected the change and came back to life, and is a red vamprye. She teaches one of the classes here." Zoey said. "And last is Aphrodite. She's a human but still has one of her fledgling gifts."
"Nice to meet everybody, but I really have to find my dorm." I said, about to head off, but Aphrodite stopped me. "Your roomies with me." She said. She told me where her dorm was and I headed there. Well, I made friend's the minute I got here. That was good. But I couldn't let my guard down just yet.
