AN! I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHRACTERS SO FAR AND IF I TELL YOU NOW WHO I OWN. IT WOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE. THANKS FOR READING AND ON WITH THE STORY.
~Becoming~
The ride to Grandma Tsunade's was pretty relaxing, I guess it was knowing that I was going to be with someone who cared for me, someone who would help me get through this. I knew she couldn't make it all go away and make everything better, make it normal, take this stupid tattoo thingy away. But I know she won't be able to. The most she can do is curse and then say its okay, tell me how it's a good thing, the pros of this and then take me to that place. The school for vampires.
~Meeting~
II walked out of my car only to see the most beautiful site ever, it least after the day I've had so far. My grandmothers little cottage in the middle of the Heather fields.
There is something on the door; I can see it from here. "Ohh no, you can't not be here!"I run up to the door only to see that my assumption was correct, it said out in fields, be back later.
I ran to the spot I knew she would be at, she is probably sitting right in the center of the path, meditating like she usual does. Connecting with the Heather fields and allowing her chakra to connect with the plants.
I start running faster than my legs normally carry me down the path. I was so worked up on getting to my grandmother that even when I could feel the slight pain in the back of my head and front start to grow at an amazing rate, like earlier, I started to feel like I was dying, but I just had to get to grandma Tsunade, I had to! I didn't even notice the root stuck up from the path, ready to trip me and add another horrible moment to today. PROVING that the world hates me.
I fell and fell. I thought I hit the ground already, but I keep falling further and further into nothingness until suddenly. I sit up…This could not have been a dream, even though I'm hoping it was.
No it wasn't I just fell, I'm still on the ground. Though when I look up I'm not at my grandmothers anymore. It seems as though I'm in a cave.
I get up and look around only to have a path appear in front of me.
I follow the path for what seems to be an eternity until suddenly it becomes a wall. WTF?
I look over and see that there is a door next to me. THAT WASN'T EMBARRASSING AT ALL!
Inner was shrieking at how I could be so blonde sometimes .(I'm not insulting blondes in anyway, my bf is blonde….Though that title fits her perfectly as the walking to a wall because the passageway ended was her and that's where I got this little funny part from.)
The door isn't actually a door it's just a hole carved into the dirt. There isn't even anything in there. Wait yes there is. I look closer to find that there is actually a beautiful goddess like women is sitting on the ground. She is in a meditating position , but that's not very interesting seeing that she is covered from head to toe in tattoos, the beautiful swirling intertwining designs that remind me of Celtic knots. Her hair is like obsidian and when she looks up at me she smiles, a beautiful perfect smile. But that's not what draws me to look back. Her eyes are the most brilliant shade of black. Your thinking black isn't a shade right. But no these eyes of hers show THE NIGHT. A night when there is no moon, when it is just darkness, you know there is light somewhere so it becomes this shade of black where it looks like there is light but isn't.
It's intoxicating, I'm staring at her and then she speaks, but I don't hear her words, I feel them.
They rise in smoke around her and linger only to move to me and allow me to hear her rich deep yet soothing voice.
"γειά σου κόρη, Καλά να πληρούν."
That tangled around me in the smoke, as the words I recognized from my grandmothers teachings.
"Hello Daughter, merry meet."
"Καλά να πληρούν, who are you?"
"Nyx"
It formed in my head even before she said it.
I've studied a lot about goddesses and gods, I was always fascinated by them and believed them to be real. Though this! Meeting night personified.
I was bowing low before I realized it.
"Stand daughter."
I obeyed
"I'm guessing you know of me then, and you understand that that mark is mine correct?"
"No I didn't know this was your mark" I answered.
"Ahh I see, well then my daughter I welcome you as mine" she told me throwing at me the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.
"You shall be my arms and legs in this more modern time, you shall be more powerful than most of your kind daughter, I hope you will accept me gift."
"Of course!"
"Then my daughter you need to wake up." She said before the humming of an ancient tune my grandmother used to sing to me reached my ears.
~New Begining~
I then sat strait up.
My grandmother next to me, her healing hand on me and chakra coursing through me.
She pushed me down and said "rest, rest."
I lay down and asked what happened, only then realized that I seemed to be in a hospital room.
"I was walking back from my meditating and found you on the road, you scared the shit out of me κόρη."
"Scared us as well walking in here with her mark filled and a lot of blood loss. We though she wasn't accepting the change, but then she healed almost immediately, fast even for our kind.
"That would be my training most likely."
"I see."
"Hold up! Who are you and where am I?"
"My name is, Hera, and as to where you are. You are at the house of night my dear."
"Hera, as in THE Hera?"
"No when you are here we believe in a new start and you can change your name to anything you want, is there anything you would like to change yours to?"
"No, my first name I cannot change willingly and my last was my fathers and I am not going to change it."
"Very well then, welcome to the house of night Sakura, and Καλά να πληρούν."
"Thank you, um what goes on here?"
"It's a normal school except for the times and classes."
"Like a boarding school."My grandmother said
"Would you like to let me show you to your room Sakura?"
"What about Grandma Tsunade?"
"I'm heading home hun, you can call me with all of your news about your day later."
"But I don't want you to go." I pleaded
"I have to."
"Fine." I got up and gave her a hug then turned to Hera and we walked out of the infirmary and into a long beautiful hallway.
I finally got a really good look at her then, only to find that she is truly worthy of the beautiful goddesses name.
Her auburn hair was strait and flawless and it curved around her as she walked her body was curved perfectly in every angle, her eyes were slightly slated and her skinned was perfectly tanned, with a slight white hue to it. Her walk was elegant and flowing. And her voice as she pointed out places and rooms to me, was a still song.
I then realized she was asking me a question.
"Umm sorry, what?"
She laughed" I was saying that everyone here has a sensei appointed to them, and I would like to take you as my student if you didn't mind."
"I'd love that!"
"Okay then." we went outside and she started talking again, but I didn't notice, there was a beautiful statue right in front of me. A life size version of no one other than Nyx. It was beautiful, she was in her traditional goddess wear that was depicted in the paintings I used to study.
"Gorgeous isn't it."It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes she is."
"So you know the goddess?"
Something in my gut told me not to reveal my earlier conversation with the goddess.
"Yes I study the Greek myths."
"They aren't myth you know, just less understood than they used to be."
"All of them?"I asked quizzically.
"Most, Ahh were here, these are the dorms Sakura."
"SHIT, this is a mansion!"
"But of course, they are many more than just you. These are just the girl's dorms."
"Wow."
"Let us go inside" She said opening the large wooden Victorian dark wood doors.
The inside was just as amazing as the outside, lounge sections with 5 different flat screen TVs, some were sitting down there watching the TVs, but when we walked in, they started whispering among themselves.
"Ahh Aphrodite." She spoke to someone.
I looked up to find….A live freaking barbiedoll! Blonde, curved, perky boobs…It's a freaking Barbie, and I'm guessing this is Aphrodite.
"Would you please show Sakura to her room, she is Bunking with Hestia."
"Yes ma'am." She replied curtly, maybe she isn't too bad.
"Follow Aphrodite Sakura and she will take you to your room."
"Okay."
~Enemy~
I followed Aphrodite up the stairs until I was suddenly grabbed. It didn't affect me and I could easily shove her through the wall right now with my strength but I didn't feel like wasting it one her.
"You must think your sooo much better than us, just because your mark is filled, and Hera is taking you on as her student." She said with venom in her voice.
BITCH THINKS SHE CAN TALK TO US LIKE THAT! Inner screeched
Where have you been all day inner?
SULKING AND CHECKING THINGS AND PEOPLE OUT AT THIS PLACE!
Why are you yelling?
CAUSE BBB ERE IS PISSING ME OFF!
BBB?
BLONDE BIMBO BITCH!
Nice one.
THANKS!
"….and another thing, you probably think that all the guys are after you now aren't you. You and your disgustingly dyed hair!"
OHH NOO SHE DIDN'T, NOBODY INULTS THE HAIR
I grabbed her hand and squeezed just a tiny little bit of my actual strength into it. She went right onto the floor in tears.
"Where is my room, BBB?" I asked in a sweet voice.
"Right there." She pointed with her good hand to the door right next to me. I opened it and quietly closed the door, only to be enveloped in a hug.
~New Friends~
"No one has ever done that to Aphrodite! That was amazing!" This petite tiny girl with golden blonde curls said with a slight southern accent.
"Umm thanks?" I said
"I'm Hestia by the way, and it's nice to meet you….?"
"Sakura." I said.
"Matches you hair, I like it." She said, I was already starting to like this girl.
"I like your stuff by the way, very Victorian and gothic." It was then that I noticed that all of my things from home were here.
My dark red wood full sized bed with the crimson sheets and bronze pillows, my redwood chest height dresser, my black wooden desk complete with my purple Toshiba and my sound system, all my makeup supplies, which isn't all that much, my stuffed animals on the bed, the only thing I didn't recognize was a standing closet.
I opened it to find blacks vests and jackets with these beautiful emblems of Nyx on it. It didn't have the goddess herself on it, but I just knew it had to represent her.
"Umm Sakura, we should get ready, dinner is soon."
"Okay."
"You can wear anything you want as long as you have one of the Nyx emblems on."
"Okay."
"I'm gonna take the shower if you don't mind."
I thought about it, but I don't feel like I really need a shower.
"No go ahead I'm good."
What to wear for my first day?
SOMETHING SEXY!
And show BBB that she was right? Hell no.
Egh, your right, let's go sweet and innocent.
Not the impression I wanna send.
How about SCENE!
Yes, why didn't I think of that, just do what I did at my old school.
So I took my layered hair and I straitened it to make it even more needle fine. I took out some black skinnies, put them on. Then I took a neon green tight fitting tee, some black fingerless gloves and then took out the black vest with the emblem on it, put that over top and I was ready to go.
MAKEUP!
Ohh right, I put on some black eyeliner and silver eye shadow. NOW I AM READY!
Right on time to, Hestia was just coming out of the bathroom.
I guess she took her clothes with her, because she was pretty much dressed and ready.
"WOW, is your hair naturally that curly?"
"Yeah, it's annoying; I wish I had hair like yours."
"I love your hair; it makes you look cute, and younger."
"Yup, I still get handed the kiddy menu."
We broke both out into a huge laughing fit. And when we started to calm down a bit
"What's sad is, I'm serious."
I broke out again and she had on a huge smile.
Maybe this isn't gonna be that bad.
I think your right.
