AB(Arianna Black)POV
Waiting for Savina in her room seemed like the most logical place to wait for her. At least I thought it was. Savina had an annoying habit of wandering off, especially when she had something on her mind. I sighed, twirling a lock of my deep black hair around one finger as I moved to look in her mirror. She always said I was pretty and I knew how to get what I wanted with it. My black curls fell below my waist. I was tall, around 5'8". My curves were glaringly obvious in the little black dress I wore. My body was a deep tan, shining dimly in the light. Violet eyes were hidden beneath my sunglasses. I sighed softly. I didn't know why Savina insisted that I hide my wings when I came to visit. It felt odd. What if I wanted them to see? We were once like them after all. I turned when I heard the door open, watching as Savina closed it carefully behind her. "Hello, Arianna." Sitting down in Savina's small room, we discussed the reason why she'd ever joined this school. She told me it was only because she saw that the school would become majorly involved in the future. Like I ever really took her foresight seriously. Many of the things she sees never come true. Watching her as I was, I could tell something was bothering her pretty bad, which was quite unusual. I could tell she was thinking back to her life before, remembering her mother and life at Court. She had watched it change many times over the years. Sighing, I decided to gently pull her out of her thoughts. "How are your classes going?" Savina pauses a second before gazing at me. "I was beaten in combat today." Shock registered on my face. Her? Beaten in a fight? Such a thing has never happened since she became one of us. "Who beat you?" She looks out the window. "Returning novice by the name Rosemarie Hathaway. I've personally never seen her, but her soul... Arianna, her soul is so familiar, so dark. Something stirs there. But I can't put my finger on what. I don't even know if she's good or bad. Still too early to say." A knock came on the door and I hid, wondering who it could possibly be. Savina stood, walking over to open the door and seemed really surprised to find the dhampir, Eddie Castille. Wait... How did I know his name? Should I? I was suddenly quite distracted.
S(Savina)POV
Eddie Castille was absolutely the last person I expected to see at my door. I was vaguely curious as to why he was even here. He stared at my shoulder before looking at my face and I was shocked. He could see my wings! But...how? He leans against the doorway. "I need to talk to you, Savina. I need to know I'm not going crazy." I had no idea what to say and looked to Arianna, pleading silently with my eyes for her to leave. She nods once, vanishing and leaving through the open window. I let Eddie in, sitting on my bed. "Why do you think you are going crazy?" He sits on the edge of a chair. "You have wings." I sigh softly and look up at him. "Very few can see my wings when they are hidden. You and Rose are the only ones I know who have seen them." He nods once. "You're not a dhampir." It wasn't a question but I shake my head anyway. "What are you then?" I hesitate, wondering if I could really trust him with this secret. "You cannot tell a soul." He nods, showing agreement. "I am a battle angel, Eddie. I prevent calamities, end wars, help wherever I am needed." He frowns. "Why are you here?" I was about to answer when an alarm rang. I was lost until Eddie explained. "Strigoi have been spotted." My expression grew grim. "Then I must do my job. Pretend you were never here." I shed off my illusion, jumping from the window, my whole body surrounded by light as my lights guided me to the house where the Strigoi were hiding. I landed softly on the grass, summoning my silver sword from the pendant I always wore around my neck. Now all I had to do was find a way in, without being seen by the guardians.
