Chapter 1
Dear Collombell,
We seek knowledgeable minds such as yours to be a part of one of the richest educational academy in England, Lutwidge Academy, and serve our name high in the future coming. We hope for you to accept this request and will be waiting for you arrival.
With regards,
S. Sullivan. Head of Academy.
I take a sip of my coffee and glance at my butler who had just read me the letter. "Nonsense... Dispose of it." I chuckle before speaking... Despite my age, I was quite smart, my knowledge surpassed that of a scientist or so, not mention my bizarre strength. I was born unique, but I didn't seem to like it very much. I mastered everything that I saw only once. It felt... inhuman...
"I would, mistress... but this seems like a chance to meet people... or even make, what most call it, friends..." he says as if he were my mother. How dare he?
"Pardon me? Are you telling me what I must and must not do?" I glare at him angrily, although my emotions would not show.
"It's only for your own sake, I wouldn't have spoken if unnecessary. But if you do find my advice useless, then I am very much ashamed..."
I watch him as he bows and walks to the exit with the tea tray he entered with before... Now that I think back at what he said, I might as well have a good reason to explore the outside world.
I sigh and close my eyes, "Alright then, I will attend this academy and see how everything goes."
"Very well, milady." he smirks and finally leaves.
I take a stand and walk up to the my balcony, eyeing my beautiful garden. I close my eyes and listen to the chirping of the birds, light breeze scented with flowers sending chills down my spine. I lean on the railing and a small smirk makes it way on my face, "What a painful life it is to be unique..."
~time skip~
"Please do not make a fuss around the manor after I leave, you all can get a bit out of hand." I order my servants before entering the carriage.
"And also, I'd like you to write letters about what's going on around the manor or any important events, understood?" I order my butler right before getting in.
"Yes, milady." everyone bows down and I step into the carriage. I wore a simple grey dress that covered my legs and arms and had a maroon cloak over my head. "This is going to be a long ride, I suppose?" I ask the young man driving the vehicle.
"Not that long, your highness. You just relax and we'll be there in no time." Xavier, my coachman replies and I do exactly what he said... relax.
Soon, we were in front of the gates of the academy, it was exactly like what I had imagined it to be, tedious. The coachman opens the carriage door and I step out and adjust myself.
"The school is so dull and boring, I hope I don't regret this decision of mine." I examine the gates and the building.
"Just like you." I hear Xavier chuckle behind me. "You've got some nerve talking to me like that" I turn to him. He was always like that, mocking me whenever he had the chance, although I didn't mind, I too would laugh along his little jokes. He is not only my coachman, but also the cook of the manor, and he's the only one whom I can allow to mess with me.
"My apologies, your highness"
I enter the building and see students walking around in groups, hearing them whisper about me, since I wore no uniform and looked completely mysterious. Paying no attention to where I was heading, I bumped into some one.
I look up to see a tall man with raven hair tied in a ponytail, he had deep blue eyes and wore a black suit.
"I believe you are Miss Collombell?" he smiles at me and brings his face closer to mines only making me think of one word, 'creep'
"Y-yes, I am [Y/n] Collombell. And you are?" I back up a bit dropping a sweat and forcing a smile.
"I am Sanford Sullivan, head of Lutwidge Academy. I am glad that you responded to our request and I'm sure you will get along fine here." he smiles really close to my face. Has he ever heard of personal space?
"Oh, and also, this is your roommate and she will show you around." a blonde girl appears behind him waving and smiling, she was slightly taller than me and had emerald eyes. The head walks away without saying a word and leaves us two to ourselves.
"Hello, my name is Ada Vessalius. Why don't you get into you uniform and I'll show you around?" she seemed like an innocent type, maybe we would get along. "Alright." I plainly say and follow her to the girls dorm.
She opened the door to our room and two cats meow at the doorstep making me yelp and cling onto her. "C-cats?!" I look at the two felines and slowly let go of the girl whom I was chocking before. "D-don't worry, [Y/n], they're pretty well trained and obedient. They won't bother you much." she shook hands with the grey one and the white one meowed at me.
I enter the room and study the place, there were two beds next to each other and a side table in between. Two study tables at the left and right side of the room and a large wardrobe in the right corner. There was also a door in the left corner which was probably the bathroom.
I pick up my uniform which laid on one of the bed and quickly put it on. I put my old clothing into the wardrobe.
"You look great! Now come on, we have a lot to explore!"
A/n: I know, I know. There's no Elliot in this but he is in the next chapter! I edited both the 1st and 2nd chapter because after watching Pandora hearts again, the characters were a little OOC. I hope it wasn't troublesome for those who already read it before the editing.
