Hey guys, I thought I should do a story before Hex Hall of Holly's murder in Archer's POV. This is my first fan fiction, please read and review.
Me: Hey Archer, old boy, do I own your rights?
Archer: no, shut up.
Ah, so anyway, all the characters belong to Rachel Hawkins. Enjoy.
Chapter 1:
The Eye messed up. Messed up badly. Sending a member of their community into the middle of hundreds of Prodigium? What am I supposed to do? Spy for them? Yeah right. Like I wouldn't get caught the second my feet crossed Hex Hall.
On my way to the 'Juvie', I was majorly freaking out. I'm only 14, and they're sending me in the middle of my enemies. Even if there was a really slim chance of finding out that I was an Eye.
Yeah, originally, I was a warlock. And my cover was pretty strong. But that didn't mean I was not freaking out of my mind about going into that hellhole swarming with my enemies. Especially after they killed the whole party we set in Columbia to spy on a council member. The council who monitor the prodigium movements and work for their benefits and blah, blah, blah. Didn't stop them from losing or even finding out about some of their members working for the Eye.
Yeah, the greedy bastards who work as informants for the Eye and rat out information on the council for money and their protection.
But some, like me, weren't really left a choice. I grew up under the eye of l'occhio di dio, pun definitely intended. My parents were found dead in their house, so the Eye adopted me. Somehow, I don't really believe that. The Head of the Defense centre of the Eye, Simon Cross, raised me up and gave me his name. Still, more than a few members of the Eye wanted me dead when I joined. He was also the one to suggest sending me to hex hall, the boarding school for prodigium.
Simon had provided me with the best cover. A brown haired, dark eyed, teenager who made his school gym invisible and earned an immediate ticket to Hex Hall. Nothing could go wrong with that, right? At least not in Hex Hall. Where all the nut job prodigium teenagers are huddled up for exposing themselves and causing damage.
They even made a betrothal for me last year, as a part of my cover. A girl named Holly. Of course, she didn't know I am an Eye, but Simon has some connections, he got a warlock to have his daughter, who was also enrolling in Hecate the same year I was, make up my cover by betrothing her to me, made up some nice council betrothal documents, and we were planning our wedding. But, once my super duper spy skills are not needed any more, bye bye Holly.
The same warlock was pretending to be my father to meet my new principal, Anastasia Casnoff. A name that sticks with you. They already told me that she is an important member for the council, so some chance of juicy gossip from there.
The car entered the school parking lot. Wowza, creepy didn't even begin to describe it, it was a big three storey building, so worn out and grayish looking, I am surprised the damn place still exists. Everywhere around it are moss covered plants and trees. The building loomed between the tall oak trees surrounding it.
' Here you are', the warlock, holly's father said. I took a deep breath, prayed to whoever was listening, that I at least don't get beheaded till dinner, I had no desire to die hungry. And got out of the car. Together, we got out from the car and walked towards the front porch.
Hecate hall. As I started up the stairs, I thought,
Welcome to Monster University… Damn.
