Chapter 1: Welcome 'home'
Everything happened so fast. I was talking to my best friend Sophie at the school grounds, walking to her mother's car. We were so close, if I hadn't stopped and moved three steps, I would be in the car. But no, I had to stop and look at the female tracker. She had black hair, and a dark blue mark, like every other 'normal' vampire. Then her voice echoed in my mind, as she pointed her finger towards me.
"Amy Maddeson! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!" then the pain blasted through my head. It felt like it was parting apart. I tried not to scream as the pain in my forehead and back got stronger.
"Amy! Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" Sophie panicked as I forced a grin, I am sure that it was freaky but I couldn't help it.
"Mom is here, she would know what to do." She was rushing towards the car, bringing me along. "Mom, help!" her mother got out of the car and rushed towards me as I screamed in pain. I felt everyone's gazes on my back as everything get blurry, and then I blacked out.
When I wake up, I saw nothing but three pair of eyes looking at me. There was Sophie, her mother and a vampire looking at me.
"Oh you're finally awake! I was so worried!" Sophie was louder than before.
"What happened? Where am I?" I started to ask all the questions in my head. But the vampire stopped me. "I'll give you all the answers my child, but first you need to see your mark."
" Yes, my mark. What about it? Isn't it as the other fledglings?" I thought aloud. She handed me a mirror, but didn't say anything. Even Sophie was not talking. What was wrong with them? Then I finally looked at the mirror.
"…WTF? Sorry for my language but what is this thing?" It was silver. The crescent moon on my forehead was shiny and upside down.
It is the mark that I gave to you…Huh? "Did you guys hear it too?" the all stared at me strangely. Uh, enough of that stares already. "I take it as a no."
"What did you heard?" Sophie's mom, Mrs. Watson asked me. "I didn't heard anything, did you heard anything Sophie?" she turned towards Sophie.
"No, I didn't heard anything mom." Then Mrs. Watson turned to the vampire. Before she could ask her if she had heard something or not, the vampire talked. "Nope. I heard nothing unusual." She stopped to think, and then continued. "Maybe it's your affinity to hear things far away or something, depends on what you heard. So tell us what did you hear?"
Don't tell her, my child. Not yet. There, that voice again. 'Who are you?'
I am Nyx, the goddess of night. Before we talk again, please answer her question. I did as she said.
"I don't know, maybe I am imagining things. I think I am still tired." And I pretend I was tired and then yawned. Sophie started to talk again. "Amy, if you need you can call me, you have your cell phone with you. I checked it. We'll get your belongings to here immediately. Don't worry!" she smiled her biggest smile. Big and shiny. This is why I like her so much. She always makes me feel happy.
"We need to get going honey. But don't worry, we will come to see you again, when the family day comes." I smiled at them. They were so sweet. But then it hit me. Family… "What about mom and dad? You know that they hate the vampires. Dad will get crazy for sure. I hope that mom can handle him when I am not there." I sighed and close my eyes. Out of blue, the vampire hummed a melody quietly. That made me feel a little bit less stressed.
"Well," the vampire started "I am Natasha and I am a professor. I teach fledglings how to use their affinities, but my lessons are not in every fledgling's lesson schedule because not every one of them have special affinities. I choose the fledglings I want to teach, so there aren't many fledglings in my class. I hope to see you in there also." She handed me a cup of tea as Sophie and her mother told me their goodbyes and went out.
"The tea is good." I said. "Is it your affinity or something?" I said as I laughed at my silly question. She laughed as well.
"No, my child, my affinity is to feel everybody's feelings and if needed, I can help them get over their dark feelings." She explained. I nodded silently as I supped my tea.
"How long was I sleeping?" I asked her. She looked at her watch.
"For about 2 hours." She replied. I nodded. Was it normal to sleep for two hours? I didn't know and I didn't care.
"I will be your mentor from now on, which means I will be close to you, as a best friend is. If you need anything, come and see me in my office, which is across the hall, the second door from left. You can even come to talk to me to spend time or something. And please don't keep secrets from me." she took a deep breath and started to talk again.
"When you enter to a House of Night, you have the chance to change your name. You start to a new life as a fledgling; your human life is over now, my child. So do you want to change your name?" she asked me with a motherly smile.
"Yes" I answered after a long pause. "I want it to be 'Amy Diana Watson' " I used Sophie's surname, my first name and the name of the moon goddess Diana, which is also known as Artemis. And yes, I was in to mythology when I was like… 10?
"Okay…"she said as she wrote it down onto a piece of paper. "Good name." she smiled at me.
"It's all because of my 'mythological hobby' but I am not in to it for like 3 years." She giggled.
"Okay then, Diana. Or should I call you Amy?" she looked at me.
"Diana please." I said with a smirk on my face. This was getting embarrassing. But I know how to mask my feelings and shyness. "and what time is it exactly?" I asked her.
"One hour before the sunset." She replied. Then she handed me a schedule. "These are your lessons. Lessons start at 22:00 pm and ends in 3:00 am." (A/N:I don't know the real timings so this is what I taught of it)
1st-Affinity Prof Natasha Room 218
2nd- Vampyre Sociology Prof Neferet Room 210
3rd - Fencing Prof D Lankford Gym
4th -Spanish Prof Garmy Room 212
Lunch
5th- Music Prof Vento Room 306
6th -Equestrian Studies Prof Lenobia Field House
"But I don't have an affinity." I said after looking trough the list.
"I know," Natasha answered me, "but as your mentor, I can change your lessons as I like and I don't think that you'll want to have literature first in the night, would you?"
"I like literature but… I don't want it to be my first lesson." I answered honestly.
"So this is a lesson for you to relax and have fun. That is until you find your affinity or ability. Then we start working. But don't worry; once I think that you got a hang of your affinity in my lesson, you are free to do as you want." She smiled at me and I smiled back. This was not forcefully though; something made you happy when you look in to her eyes. It must be a part of her affinity…
Well, this is the end of chapter one. I hope you enjoyed it. Guess I will see you in the next chappie! ^_^
