The students were sitting in the big room. Lenobia was standing on the left of the stage. Today was the day the high council had chosen to tell the students and teacher who the new high priestess would be. Lenobia was nervous. Today they will tell her who her new boss would be. But she was also happy because she was running the school the last few weeks and she was happy now that this would end.
Thanatos, a member of the high council went on the stage. She smiled and started speaking. "Dear lovely young vampyrs. Today I have to announce who is your new high priestess. And I'm very happy because this is a premiere." Thanatos said.
The students listened to her and also Lenobia listened to her. The other teachers were with Lenobia on the left of the stage. And Travis was anywhere with them.
"Why a premiere?" Zoey asked.
"Because the new high priestess we choose actually is no high priestess. But she did a very good job the last few weeks. And we know that it isn't that difficult to make a ritual. And we are pretty sure she can do it. A big applause for your new high priestess. Lenobia!" Thanatos said loudly.
Lenobia believed she was dreaming. She slowly walked on the stage. She went to Thanatos. "This isn't possible. You must have made a mistake. I'm the horse lady. I'm not able to make ritual. I'm not able to run a school." Lenobia said in a shock.
Thanatos smiled. "Lenobia you did such a great job the last few weeks and learning how to make a ritual isn't that difficult. And you do have Zoey so…"
"But you can't change a normal Vampyr into a high priestess. This can only Nyx do." Lenobia said.
Suddenly the air rippled. And a picture of Nyx appeared. "Hello Lenobia my beautiful daughter. I understand that you are shocked right now. But I also want you to do this job. You did it really well. And you always have chosen me. I know that you are perfect for this job. Good luck" the picture disappeared and nobody was able to say a word. It was as quiet as on a cemetery in the middle of the night. After about two minutes Travis Foster ran on the stage. He spoke into the microphone. "Congratulations Lenobia. You are the new high priestess. Applause everyone" He said. Everyone started the applause. After a few moments Travis said: "And now go back to your class room." The room got empty. Just Lenobia, Thanatos and Travis left behind.
"Good Job Lenobia! I'm sure you do it well. I have to go back" Thanatos said and looked at Lenobia.
Then she went away. Lenobia was still confused. She looked straight ahead without recognizing that everybody is out of the room.
"Lenobia is everything ok?" Travis asked.
Lenobia shook herself. "Sure. I'm fine Travis" She said and wanted to walk away. But Travis stopped her. "Lenobia?"
"Yes?" She asked.
"Congratulations. You are great. Great and beautiful" He said and placed a kiss on her forehead. Then he disappeared. Lenobia was left in the room. So many things happened in the last hour. She became a high priestess. She saw Nyx. And Travis kissed her forehead. Just moment…what did Travis do? Oh hell no! She didn't say anything now he will think it is okay for her if he kisses her forehead. Shit. No not really it is okay for her if she is true to herself. But Lenobia can't be true to herself at the moment. Too many things happened as that she could think about her and Travis. Lenobia sat down on the stage in the empty hall.
