The Chosen Twins

Chapter One

A/N: Okay! This story has no inspiration... I wish people would review... If not, then I don't think I will continue it Thanks for Reading :)

Alice watched the roads carefully. Oklahoma drivers weren't always as bright as they should be. She was driving her brand new black S-10 Truck. She had gotten it for her birthday. She had taken advantage of their idiot parents' loads of money. Her brother Ryan had neglected this certain privilege. She turned to him.

"I can't believe you actually got me to bring your moped! Ryan...you really need a real car," she said laughing.. She shook her head and honked at another idiot driver who had cut her off. Ryan grinned at her.

"I know I do. But I can't afford a new car. And you know I won't ask them for help either. Plus what if you're busy? Then how would I get around,' he asked, very know-it-all like.

Alice was quiet for a minute. "You do have a good point. Oh my God! Can you believe the traffic??? It's like three in the friggin morning," she shouted.

Ryan laughed at her, shaking his black hair. "I know right. It's ridiculous. Where's this place supposed to be anyway," he asked.

Alice thought back for a minute."Uhhh Tulsa I think. From our house I guesstimated about an hour drive. And we- I mean I have been driving about fifty minutes. So we should be almost there," she stated, swerving out of the way of a semi about to crash into her. "

Good," he said. "Because I am tired of being cooped up inside the car. I mean truck," he corrected. He knew how touchy his sister was about mechanics. "Plus...my throat is feeling really dry," he finished. Alice's face went black for a minute. "Ryan? Now that we're vampyres...do you think," she started, looking out her window. "Do you think that we'll have to drink blood," she asked, a little flustered. She instinctively touched her Mark, on her left side, below her collar bone.

Ryan smiled nervously. "Probably, I mean I doubt they eat hot dogs and burgers," he stated, laughing at himself. "But still who knows what's gonna happen to us now. I heard that this," he continued, touching his Mark.

"I heard that this becomes filled in after we've um…'changed.' Alice looked at him. "Yeah..but how do we change," she asked, looking around.. "This looks like the place," she said, looking at the huge iron gates.

Alice stopped the truck and took the keys out of the engine. She let her waist length hair fall down. It glowed in the moonlight. Her hair was very much multi-colored. It was all natural though and most of her friends had been jealous of it back home. It was long and straight, with red and brown highlights. It tinged all throughout her dark blond hair. Ryan did the same. Had long neck length black hair with blond tips. His piercing ice blue eyes shined like the sun itself in the moon. He looked up, smiling at his sister.

"Is this it," Alice asked.

"I have absolutely no idea," he said.

"Looks like the right place. Seems suitable I mean." Alice simply nodded, looking bewildered. She looked towards the front door and saw someone coming.

Neferet was walking very swiftly towards the gate Her long hair flowing behind her. She wore a bright crimson dress and boots that matched. She had worn them specifically for the arrival of their new students. As the High Priestess drew nearer to the gate, it opened. Neferet made her way to the children, smiling very perky. Ryan just stared at her. Alice took control of the situation.

"Hi. Is this the House of Night," she asked. Neferet gave her a warm smile.

"Merry met," she said, putting her fist over her heart in the traditional way. "Yes child it is. I am the High Priestess, Neferet. Think of me like a principal. Now if you will simple park your car over there and come into my office I will get you situated in your new home. Nyx welcomes you into her heart, Alice and you too Ryan," she said. Neferet had pointed to the north east, towards the student parking area. Alice did as she was instructed as swiftly as possible without running into the few cars that were here. She was surprised. Most high schools were full with cars.

"Well that was seriously weird," Ryan said, looking at his sister very puzzled. "How did she know our names? And who the hell is Nyx," he asked, feeling awkward and getting out of the truck. Alice shrugged and locked her doors as she got out.

"I have no clue. But we might as well not look like idiots," she said, heading for Neferet. Ryan shrugged and followed after his sister.

Neferet was waiting with the door open when the two teenagers arrived at the entrance. "Come in Nyx's children," she said. Alice walked in cautiously. "Let's get this over with," Ryan groaned, following after his sister. Neferet nodded to the two and led them down the hall to her office.

"You may take a seat," she said, straightening up a pile of papers on her desk and sitting down. She motioned for them to join her with her hands. Ryan, relieved to get back off his feet, sits in the largest of the three chairs. Alice remained standing. Neferet looked at her strangely. "Aren't you going to sit," she asked sweetly.

Alice stared her down. "No thanks. I'm fine standing," she said bitterly. The High Priestess looked taken aback. She went on with her introduction anyway. "Well first off, you have been marked by Nyx as fledgling of the House of Night. You will stay here until you have completed the Change that Nyx has provided for you," she said. They both looked at her puzzled. Ryan was the first to speak.

"What exactly happens during the 'Change'? And how long does it take," he asked. Neferet paused. "Well, some fledglings don't make the Change. Their bodies reject it and they die. But no matter what, Nyx will always watch over you. Now the fledglings that do complete the Change get theses beautiful markings," she said, moving her hair to show off her own markings.

Alice stared in awe and silence. "So now what do we do," she asked, growing slightly impatient. Neferet pulled out two sheets of paper with printing on it.

"Now we decide your classes," she said. The High Priestess slid Ryan a sheet of paper. "Ryan what classes would you like to take," she asked motherly. Ryan stared at the sheet of paper for a little while. He thought that the classes all intrigued him, so he picked his favorites.

"I would like to take Vampyre Sociology, Equestrian Studies, Poetry and Literature. I have a question also," he said. Neferet smiled and took the paper from his hand.

"You have chosen wonderful classes Ryan. Now what is it you want to ask me" she inquired. Ryan grinned.

"Are we really going to be living here? At the school I mean," he asked.

Neferet chuckled lightly. "Of course. There is a boy's dorm for you and a girl's dorm for your sister," she said shooting a stabbing glance at Alice. "Now you will have to share a room with another student here. So Alice, what classes are you interested in," she asked. Alice took the few steps forward to Neferet's desk and looked at the paper.

Almost instantly after reading them she said,"Sociology, Dram, Poetry, and Equestrian Studies."

Neferet gave them both a smile. "Next you both have the option of changing your original name. As you know, your life here is brand new. We want you to have a fresh start here. A clean slate, so to speak," she said. Ryan thought about it for a few moments.

"I would like to change my name to Reyler Toxin," he said confidently. "Very well then. Reyler Toxin, we welcome you here into Nyx's heart," she said turning to Alice.

Without hesitation, Alice blurted out," Rein's Water. I want to be called Rein though," she said flatly. Neferet smiled. "We welcome you as well."

Neferet smiled at them again. "There are seven rules here at the House of Night. They are:

Rule #1:
At the House of Night School, classes begin at 8pm and end at 3am. The gym is open until dawn.

Rule #2:
You can never be far from an adult Vampyre for long. And it's not like you'll turn into a pumpkin. It's a much bigger deal than that.

Rule #3:
Formal rituals are held at Nyx's Temple twice a week. At the ceremony's commencement the High Priestess turns to the east, south, west and north to summon (in order) air, fire, water and earth.

Rule #4:
If one of the cats at the school chooses you, you will belong to him or her. Not the other way around.

Rule #5:
Every High Priestess is given an affinity, or special powers, by the Goddess.

Rule #6:
If you ever leave school grounds, you cannot wear any part of your uniform (which is primarily basic black) and must conceal all tattoo markings.

Rule #7:
Here at the House of Night school, there are no lockers. You will have cabinets in your homeroom. If someone steals something, the vamps will know it. As will Nyx." When Neferet had finished, she looked at them. The Hight Priestess rose from her seat. "Now if you will please follow me to the Dining Hall, where you will be introduced to your peers and teachers," she said.
