I hesitated before getting up from the bed. At first I had hated all of this, and never wanted to be a vampyre. I knew Leboria was waiting for me. So I slowly lifted my leg from the blanket, one after another. I was finally standing up when I heard someone yell for me.
"Kayla, are you alright? I want you to meet someone!" I noticed the voice. Well, at least I think I did. Neferet came through the curtain and stared at me with her mossy eyes. There was a huge smile planted on her face. "Come," she waved her hand as a "come here" sign. I followed. Pushing the curtain out of the way, I looked around.
The ceiling was high and the walls were painted a dark blue. A huge crystal chandler hung from a clear chain hooked to the top. It kind of looked like a moon, like a crescent. Then I looked down, the tile was a creamy color, like vanilla ice cream. Then I looked at Neferet. She matched the room, beauty. I always used to think vampyres we these gross, icky people that eat people.
Obviously, I was completely wrong.
And that's when I saw her. She was standing at the doorway, completely different, yet the same. The only thing that was different was her Mark. I was filled in. Now I know I've only been like this for about 2 hours, but I knew for sure that was weird. She stared back at me, not saying anything. We stood in silence until I spoke.
"Zoey?" That was all I could get out.
"Kayla," It wasn't like she was confused by me here.
"Hey, can you believe I'm here? I mean, ha! Don't you remember yesterday when I ran away from you? Ha! Yeah, that was pretty funny!" I scratched the back of my head to make it clear I thought this was awkward too.
She just stared at me. She had been here for one day. Already had a roommate and had walked around, had school and even making friends. I knew deep down she never wanted to see me again after what I did. I didn't notice I was saying this until it already spit out of me. "Heath says hey, we have been hanging out a little since you left. Thinking of asking him out, too." That's when I knew she was pissed off.
"I was only gone one day." She spit the words through her teeth.
I hesitated. I didn't want to start a fight with her. So I said sweetly, "Well, Heath said no… so you don't need to worry."
She kept glaring at me. Her jaw tightened. Then she stared at Neferet with loving eyes. That was Zoey, always dramatic. I sighed (mentally) and rolled my eyes. "Neferet, can we please leave now, I don't want to be here anymore. And I'm a little hungry too, can I get back to lunch?" Lunch, Its 1 in the morning!
I guess Neferet read the confusion on my face. "Kayla, you see, here at the House of Night, we have our classes from 8pm to 3am. You have probably already noticed, but the sun hurts our eyes, and all those rumors about vampyres are lies. We do not burn in the sun, just irritation. You will get your class schedule from your roommate." She was the only smile between the three of us.
"Neferet, can we go PLEASE," Zoey whispered, her jaw still clenched.
I frowned at her, but I walked out first. Hitting my shoulder against Zoey's as I left, I slammed the door behind me. I never wanted this to happen, to become a shitty vampyre. But yet, God, or Nyx, or whoever the hell I now worship just had to ruin my life.
"Ah, there you are! Are you ready to meet your roommate?" I turned my head to see Leboria. I smiled and nodded. I didn't want to mention the disturbing situation that just took place. "I know you and your roommate will be the best of friends! She had a roommate before, but unfortunately, she did not get through the Change. I would try not to mention it to her."
I listened to everything she was telling me. This was so confusing. How the fuck did Zoey get use to this so quickly? As we walked out of the building that had the sign 'Infirmary' written on the wall, I gasped. Leboria apparently knew why because she didn't turn around. The school was beautiful. It was like a dark fairytale. The walls were made out of a purple/black bricklike tool. The highest point of the "castle" was a point, like a panicle on a skyscraper.
Leboria was dragging me along as I gawked, allowing me a little time to look at the school and students. They all looked alike, but in different ways. Each one had a small little emblem above their breast. They were all beautiful (well the guys were) and the girls weren't too bad looking either. Everyone had long hair. I felt my cheeks redden as I tried to cover my short, straight hair. While I gawked, Leboria's voice made me jump.
"Here we are! The girls dorm." I opened the door to what looked like what you would expect a hotel lobby to be like. There were about 5 TVs in the room. No one was in the room, they were probably at school. The kitchen has 5 of everything. Five ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines, and sinks.
"Well, I'll leave it to you. Your room is 953. Your roommate took off today to meet you. Oh and feel free to take anything you like." And with that, she left.
I exhaled. I didn't know what to do, but I couldn't stand here like an idiot. So I went into one of the fridges, (there was 5 of them too) grabbed a bottle of Red Bull (a.k.a my love) and slowly walked up the spiral staircase. When I got to the door, I took a huge gulp of Red Bull, and knocked.
Within two seconds, the door opened. There was one of the most beautiful girls I could have ever seen. Her golden hair was down to her waist and her blue eyes sparkled.
"I'm Aphrodite. You must be my new roommate. Sorry about me, I just came from the tunnels walking back from school, come on in." she said it with a sneer.
Well, she seems nice.
