Neferet's p.o.v.

Chapter 1

Waiting

I was sitting in my office waiting for two people tat will make my life so much easier.

I had been promised weapons. I hope they do not disappoint.

Looking back down at the sheets I had been given. I wondered again whether this was necessary, did I really want to get rid of Zoey and her ridiculously talented friends this much?

Yes.

I read the sheet again and again trying to find any weaknesses in their abilities. Unsurprisingly, I found none.

Name: Lilith Auctorita Pluto

Affinities: shadow/evil, ice, acid, poison, magnetism, and mind

Marks: a very intricate mark, which is lines coming from crescent moon, then following her veins and ending in points all over her body.

Story; expelled from a house of night in England. Killed fledglings by drinking their body dry in a phase of extreme bloodlust.

Name: Seth Facultas Pluto

Affinities: Super human speed and strength, the ability to change his appearance and shapeshifting.

Marks: Two thick lines coming from his mark which separate into thinner lines, which if you look closely you can see the shapes of animals and men. The lines sometimes intertwine to look like DNA helixes, which end in points at his neck.

Story: Expelled from a HON school in Russia for killing a teacher in a fit rage (nasty temper).

There was a knock at the door.

"Enter," I called. Two young people walked in.

The first was a girl who looked about 14, she was obviously the leader and had an air of danger but complete confidence around her this was a girl who had never been beaten. She was tall for her age, and slim. Her hair was shoulder-length and dark purple in an 'emo' hairstyle around her heart-shaped face. She had bright green the colour of acid which surveyed me and full lips that where a straight in her impassive expression. She was wearing a black shirt with a tie tied loosely around her neck and was wearing a red tartan skirt and she darkened her long legs with black netted tights. On her feet, she wore flat black pumps. Her mark was as it described, intricate. This was Lilith.

The boy that followed was wearing a just as neutral expression as his soul sister on his handsome face. He had a square jaw and eyes that were blue/silver and sparkled, they seemed to look into me. It was unnerving. His hair was messy and jet-black. He was wearing black collared shirt over a navy tee, which showed how muscular he was, jeans and converses. His unusual mark was just as strange as described and I saw the small animals, men and helixes. There was something dangerous and strange about him.

"Nefeeter, I have heard a lot about you, healing and cats travels far," she smirked and it sent a shiver down my spine.

"Neferet" I corrected her which pleased her even more

"I confess I never heard of you until this morning," I told them coolly. The boy, Seth, made a small growl and his eyes narrowed dangerously, at my hinted insult. Lilith gave him a look and he settled, but his eyes still did not. I remembered that this was the boy who had killed a fully-grown vampyre as a new fledgling.

I decided to stay away from him as much as possible.

"Anyway," I said moving swiftly on and ignoring the glares Seth was giving me which plainly wished me nothing but ill.

"Your…er…talents are very impressive" I complemented them.

"Thank you," Lilith said, still smirking, and clearly itching to set her brother on me.

"Do you mind if I question you on them?"

"Not at all Nefeeter" they said sitting down.

I ignored her jibe

"So, Seth, How fast and strong are you?"

"I can run at the speed of light indefinitely…" he shrugged as if it didn't matter. "…And lift Mount Everest…I tried."

"Uh…ok…and what about you Lilith," I turned to her, "what is magnetism? Just physical or something else?"

"Well, I can attract people to me as well as objects"

"Is that all?"

"No. I can repel them too." She sat, smirking wickedly.

I felt a sudden urge to get as far away as possible from this girl.

She scared me.

"Well the job I have asked you here for, concerns Zoey Redbird." As I said it the smirk faded from her face slightly, as the name registered in her head.

"She keeps around her a small group of talented friends…" I laughed as I realised that Lilith contained the affinities opposite to Zoey and her group;

Spirit fought Shadow

Fire hated Ice

Water loathed Acid

Earth choked on Poison

Air detested Rock

"…Around her at all times, with them she is untouchable. They are like a constellation…"

"Stars can be moved" Seth said quietly

I looked at him; there was more to the boy then it seemed.

"…So you must split them up."

Lilith laughs and when she did, she had an eerie beauty around her. "I thought you would have given us a bit of a harder task!"

I am now the one that was glaring at them.

"If you have a problem with my sister, Nerferty, then please tell me, 'cause I'd really like to know" Seth snarled at me. I instinctively moved my chair away from the desk slightly and he raised his eyebrows at me.

I decided to move on to another subject.

"Do you have any preferences as to whose room you will be staying in?" I looked from Lilith to Seth. His expression was bored but he still had his eyes narrowed at me.

"I would rather not share a room with someone," Lilith turned to look at Seth, who shrugged and then whispered something to her, "but my brother does not mind whether he does or not but wishes that they were not a young fledgling, because they annoy him." She did an evil little smile and I remembered that she had also killed many fledglings, and she had very bad bloodlust, especially when she was a young fledgling.

Like Zoey.

I said as kindly as I could, "If you wish, you may use the teachers quarters, Lilith, as you are a fully grown vampyre. But I'm guessing you would still like your vampyre education?"

She was smiling now, and she looked very beautiful." That would be delightful and yes, we would both like to continue our training, because of missing a lot of it when we were expelled."

Seth smirked menacingly at me. I looked away from him and decided to look at the sheets on my desk, describing Lilith and Seth.

"And one last thing, do you have any pets?" I was expecting Lilith to say she had a cat, because she seemed like a cat type of person.

"Well, not exactly…" I gave her a confused look and she clicked her fingers at Seth.

I turned to him and in an instant I was looking at a huge, black, hairy dog! My face must have looked shocked, because Lilith was laughing and the dog was making a weird grunt-growl noise, which I guessed was his version of a laugh. "…This is my pet, Nefeeter, I don't like cats very much." She smiled light-heartedly and stood up, "Nice meeting you Nefeeter. I will see you soon in sociology."

Lilith turned and left the room leaving me freaked out and totally confused by the pair.

What was I doing when I asked for these two, very strong, fully-grown vampyres, who obviously didn't like me, kept saying my name incorrectly and were totally weird.

Oh shit.
