Chapter One: Stevie Ray's point of view
I watch the scenery of my home town pass me. I looked at my mama driving and gave her a sad smile. I am going to miss this place so much I thought.
"Stevie Ray, honey, you be nice yeah?" Mama said.
I just stared at her and tried not to cry, "Mama I'm scared."
"Don't be scared now, you'll be fine."
Mama accepted that I have been marked as a vampyre, well a fledging and knew that I will either become a vampyre or my body will reject the change and I will die. The drive was a quiet one and finally we got to Tulsa. I looked to my left and saw the most beautiful castle I've ever seen. It was the house of night. My home for the next few years.
"We're here Stevie Ray," Mama said, breaking the awkward silence.
Mama parked the car and we both got out, grabbing my suitcase which held my clothes and personal belongings. We walked up to the doors where the most beautiful vampyre stood. She address herself as Neferet.
"So, Stevie Ray this is where you leave your family and join ours."
"Good-bye Mama, you'll come visit right?" I asked my Mama with tears in my eyes.
"Of course honey, I'm going to miss you," Mama said letting the tears roll down her cheeks. I ran into her giving her the biggest hug.
I turned and followed Neferet into the house of night, leaving my Mama.
"Each and every fledging here gets a mentor in which they can talk to and turn to, your mentor is Professor Anastasia who is waiting near the girls dorm to talk to you," Neferet said to me.
I felt I was on auto-pilot and replied a simple okay to her. I barely toke in my surrounds as we walked through the school and then we stopped outside a door. Standing by the door was another beautiful vampyre I assumed was my mentor.
"Hello Stevie Ray, I am professor Anastasia and I will be your mentor."
"Hey," I managed to whisper.
"No need to be shy, just think of me like a friend," Professor Anastasia said.
I smiled and looked at her, astounded by her beauty.
"Well, I see that Stevie Ray is safe now, I will leave you to it," Neferet said and then left.
"Well lets introduce you to some people."
I walked into the dorm behind Professor Anastasia and saw many others like me, marked. We walked over to four people sitting in front of one of the flat screens.
"Shaunee, this is Stevie Ray, I'd like you to make her feel welcome and could you show her to her dorm," Professor Anastasia said to one girl.
The girl stood up, she was a cappuccino colour, with long black hair and dark eyes. She was also beautiful.
"We'd love to Professor," Shaunee said, smiling at me warmly.
Professor Anastasia smile at Shaunee and then turned and walked away and left the dorm.
"Well hi Stevie Ray, I'm Shaunee and this is Erin," She pointed to a girl who stood up and walked towards us. She was absolutely gorgeous with long blonde hair and the bluest blue eyes.
"They are twins," A boy said raising from the sofa. "I'm Damien by the way, and they aren't actually twins but they are exactly the same, they finish each other's sentences."
"Oh right," I said, "Well I'm Stevie Ray, which y'all probably already know."
"Well, do you want to go see your room?" Erin asked, "you have your own as there isn't enough girls for you to have a room-mate, but don't worry someone will soon come again."
"Alright, I am a bit hungry though so can I grab some food and a drink first?" I asked.
"No need, it's time for dinner soon so we will just show you your room and then we will make our way to the dining room," Erin said.
