Chapter 3
Welcome to the Academy
Waking up inside a dark cave, Olena slowly opened her eyes to try to see any sign of light, or at least another human. "Hello? Is anybody here?" There was nothing here but total darkness and her own voice replying in echoes. Run. I'll just run. While she hoped to find an exit, a voice called out to her:
"Olena Kylykovsky, have you got somebody to make a contract with you?" A mysterious and somewhat comforting voice called.A gasp escaped her, she was confused about what was going on. "Who are you? What do you want from me? Are you the same one from before?" Olena called out, trying to hide the fear that slowly grew.
The voice then started to sound more ghost like. "We will meet when you have somebody sign your contract. But, for now, lets just keep this a secret. I hope you find somebody that will be willing to make a contract with somebody as stubborn as you. There is a secret about you and only few know of it. You will find out soon enough what that is. Be patient, you're a good girl. I will aid you along the way. I will be watching you." The voice then faded and echoed, as if it was the wind itself talking to her.
"Hey! Wait! Get back here! I'm not done talking with you yet, hey! How do you know my name?" When she finally gave up and felt that the voice had completely left she straightened herself. "I don't understand this at all. All my life somebody kept on telling me that I had a special gift. But what is it?" The darkness then started to shatter. "What's happening? What th-?"
Outside the dream, Olena was tossing and turning, and she talked and mumbled. Then she hit her head on the wood that was near her head, pain made its way through her. Snapping her eyes open, she yelled as loud as she could. "Damn!" Some of the birds that were on her window sill flew off in startled chirps. Shifting her eyes to look back out the window she noticed that the sun was out and shinning and the snow had stopped. "That stings! I better get better dreams or I'll wind out with a huge headache. That is not what I call a wake up call." Getting up from the bed she walked over to the wardrobe and from inside toke out something that looked like a gym bag. Inside were her leotards, her ballet shoes, tights, and some hair elastics. Looking in the mirror she saw that she hadn't changed her clothes since earlier in the morning and that her boots were still on. "At least I don't have to worry about changing now," her voice was weak from the sleepless night. Walking over to her bed she picked up her coat and put it on.
Making her way out the door she bumped into a girl with long orange hair in a braid. "Hey! Watch where you're going next time!" Olena said in a grumpy tone.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know you where there! I haven't seen you here before. Are you a new student? I'm Ahiru!" The girl who called herself Ahiru put on a big goofy smile. Her blue eyes seemed to be focused on her like she was waiting for some kind of friendly greeting.
Olena walked away, ignoring the girl. Ahiru... doesn't that mean duck? She even talks like a duck. Not looking back at the sad and hurt girl who showed kindness to her, Olena walked down the stairs then looked back at Ahiru who still had a hurt look. Olena let out an annoyed sigh. "Olena."
"Huh?"
"My name is Olena Krupa."
Ahiru looked at Olena and then another odd smile appeared on her face. "Don't get use to it, I am not usually this nice." Olena then continued down the stairs, her boots once again making a tapping noise. When she reached the door she toke a deep breath and opened the door to walk outside. The air was warmer but it was still cold. Looking at the boys dormitory she suddenly got a strange and uncomfortable feeling. That girl Ahiru had tripped on the stairs and landed on her face with a groan. Does she have webbed feet or something?
When she made it to the bridge she saw that the water was completely frozen except for some up stream. Olena's favorite season was always winter since everything was covered with a white blanket and it was the time for ice-skating. Shaking herself from the daze, she didn't even notice that Ahiru had passed her. Looking up at the big clock on the building she started to run. "Shit! I don't want to be late on the first day! I can do that for the rest on my life in this hell hole!" Her speed picked up, her speed was amazing! Nothing like that could be normal. Olena passed by Ahiru who looked shocked at how fast the new girl could move. Huh? How am I moving this fast? My life just gets weirder and weirder.
When she got into the building she didn't even look tired, she wasn't even panting from that run. A male then voice echoed through the hallway saying "you will have to marry me!" caught her attention. Walking in the direction she opened a large door with her bag swinging from side to side. When she walked into the room a large cat was sweating all over and wiping itself. "What the hell is that thing!" The cat turned around and so did all the students. There was a lot of girls and only one boy. Classic dance group. The cat then caught her attention by letting out a light cough. "So, I take it you are the new student from Ukraine?" The cat asked her with a smooth and calm tone.
"Uh, yeah that would be me. Olena K-," she stopped herself. I have to keep my name a secret! "Krupa."Olena let out a cough as if to show that she was cut of because of that. So, he really is a cat.
"Even though you are from Ukraine you don't have the accent. You have mostly a British accent. Well, I won't poke my noise in it. I'm Neko-sensei, by calling me a 'thing' it is almost like you never saw a cat before in your life. Please introduce yourself to the class," Neko-sensei ordered.
"Hmm, what should I say? I'm Olena Krupa, as I already stated I'm from Ukraine. I grew up in Liviv. I am seventeen. That's all you need to know." The class started to whisper to eachother and one girl looked at her then laughed. Olena sent her a death glare and the girl flinched, her expression changed to fear. You made a bad move just then girlie. Ahiru burst in through the door and everybody shifted their attention to her.
Neko-sensei lowered his head and his voiced turned eerie. "Ahiru... if you are late again... You will have to marry me!" His eyes shot open and he started to sweat, then turn away to wipe himself off.
"I'm sorry, Neko-sensei! I won't do it again!"
Turning back around he noticed that Olena was not in proper ballet cloths. "Miss Olena, can you go and change into your leotard? I will put come music on and see what you can do. Then I will decide which group to put you in." Olena nodded and walked out into the hall then closed the door behind her and let out a sigh. Just then she heard foot steps coming toward her. Looking to the right she saw a boy with black hair, slightly shorter than her own and his hair seemed to be tied at the back, but wasn't. He also had green eyes, but darker than her own. The two seemed to glare at eachother for a minute. I don't think we'll get along. We seem to hate eachother right off the bat. She turned her head away from him and walked to the left to the changing room.
-Fakir's P.O.V.-
The strange girl had gone to the left, away from him and toward the changing room. She didn't do anything else but try to get as far away from him as she could. "There is a strange vibe coming from her. Better keep an eye on her." He said to himself in his usual cold tone. Then as Olena disappeared through two doors, he entered the dance studio. I really should be careful around her. She probably isn't even worth my time.
