Chapter 1
Worst Morning Ever
"Ding ding ding" my alarm clock went off as I was just starting to get peacefully to sleep after some hard studying last night. I pulled on my closest pair of Minnie pants and a singlet on as I headed out the door down stairs for breakfast. As I walked in a felt a change in the atmosphere (I've always had a knack of knowing when something bad was going to happen) then I saw him standing next to my mum who is in tears. No this couldn't be happening to me I just turned sixteen yesterday it can't be time yet. Then he spoke his voice was so sweet but biter at the same time he said the words I was hoping I would never have to hear "Melanie Steakheart night has chosen thee has their own your life awaits you at the house of night!" the next thing I knew I got a blaring headache and my mother was sobbing so loud I knew I had to comfort her but I started coughing uncontrollably. I ran up the stairs to my room I know what I had to do I had to move to the house of night and become a vampyre. I raced into my room and grabbed my bag I use for when I go to my friends houses luckily it was stilled backed from Rebecca's all I had to do was place in a few more denim Minnie pants, shirts and singlets just as I was another round of coughing hit me hard and I had to lean on the bed to stay standing. I ran back down stairs were I saw my mother with her car keys waiting for me I was so lucky my mother's sister went through the change so she was okay with it. We ran out the door and into the car. I had almost forgotten my headache when it hit hard again and I doubled over in pain and then blacked out. I woke up with a light in my eyes and a murmuring of voices close by I couldn't make out the words. I rolled over and groaned when my head hurt a little the hushed speaking stopped and 2 unfamiliar people looked at me both had there crescent moon coloured in an added even tho one looked around my age. The older looking of the 2 spoke "Hello I am Neferet your high priestess this is zoey she is our leader of the dark daughters and still a fledgling even tho she has a coloured in mark she will be the person you will be sharing a dorm with what is your name?" she spoke so much it took me a while to answer I did in the end even if it came out as a whisper "my names Melanie steak heart but everyone called me Mel Heart" I was surprised words even came out of my mouth " would you like to change your name to Mel Heart once a fledgling is marked we allow them to change their name for a new start" I couldn't believed what I just heard a new name I would love that " yes please but I was wondering can I go to my dorm and rest I feel a little faintish?" I really did feel faintish it wasn't just an excuse to get away and figure this entire thing out. Neferets answer was shocking to me "sure zoey will take and point things out to you on the way and when you wake up give you your schedule for the day" As Neferet finished speaking she motioned me to follow zoey who was smiling brightly at me but I could feel something was wrong with her just like I could feel some evil in the room and some coming of Neferet but I ignored it and followed zoey out.
