I own nothing except Sapphy. The rest of tonight's cast will be explained at the end of the program. Tonight we are going to- What the hell am I saying? Okay, this is being brought on so early because of all you fabulous reviewers and all my Forum Mates that are sticking with this ( I thank you from the bottom of my heart), they finally broke me down and I'm going to post this. It's my policy to not post without at least two reviews, an I've been getting like three or four, just on a chapter! You guys deserve this little gift as thanks!
~Love,
Dubby
Sapphire sighed, stuffing her hands down deep into her pockets as she walked down the hall. Why the hell had she been chosen to escort the new students? She hadn't even volunteered or signed up or anything- Sapphire looked up at the ceiling, shaking her head in disbelief. She was going to kill Headmistress Ross, vowing in the back of her mind to do so. They were humans- no, wait,- they were mortals. And naturally, that red haired bimbo of a headmistress sends the schools resident Angel of Death to greet them and escort them to their wing. She had to be an idiot for even thinking that was a good idea. Sapphire stopped in front of the western library doors, sighing when noting they were closed. They were at it again, Sapphire sighed. She pushed the doors open and stepped inside, ducking to dodge a flying book before catching it and setting it on a random shelf.
"Look, you weren't there, you wouldn't know!" Alicia Murrand yelled at the white haired book keeper.
"I didn't have to be there! The book told me everything I need to know!" Antonia Rachels screamed back, holding up a copy of Edgar Allen Poe's famous works. The blonde haired Time Keeper groaned, making Sapphire laugh. The two keepers had been at each other's end for weeks now, arguing over who knew who the best.
"You didn't know him on a personal level!" Antonia finished, pushing the book back onto the shelf. Scarlet Lokehart sat at one of the tables, feet up as she watched the show unfold before her.
"I thought we already covered Poe ladies," Sapphire called, making each of the keepers look up. Feeling two pairs of green eyes burn into her made her chuckled, walking toward the back room of the library.
"What did you do to start this?" Sapphire asked the lounging black hole manipulator.
"I needed information for my Poe paper that Mr. Rasserfield's fifth period has to write." Scarlet shrugged, picking at painted red nails.
"Ah ha, I see," Sapphire said, shaking her head at the girl. Opening the door to the huge back room of the library, Sapphire stared wide eyed at the group before her.
'Oh God, that bitch will really rot in hell for this!' Sapphire thought, resisting the urge to bang her head against the doorframe.
"Yay! Bugles for everyone!" The group cheered, making Sapphire clench her fist in order to keep rooted. God, she wanted to punch that wall. Yeah, that wall looked really good right about now, for either punching, or banging your head off of, maybe both.
"Hi, I'm your escort, so let's get you moving? Shall we?" Sapphire said through grit teeth. One more thing, just one more thing to set her over the edge before she snapped. She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose, no, snapping would not be good, way too messy, mortals bleed too much.
"Wow! What are you? Are you like a vampire or something?" One of the males asked, eyeing the girl suspiciously.
"Get out of here! She can't be a vampire, gotta be some kinda shape shifter!" A green haired girl said, walking up to the other.
"No! She's gotta be like some kinda Elemental!" A blonde girl said, smiling at the white haired angel. Sapphire sighed, knowing there was no way out of this unless the time was taken for introductions, she looked at the clock on the wall. Yeah, they had time.
"I'm neither," Sapphire spoke up, making the group gasp, "My name is Sapphire Adams, I'm a senior here. I'm not a vampire, shape shifter, or an Elemental. I am an Angel of Death."
"So y-you're gonna kill us?" One of the boys spoke up. He wasn't much to look at, a scrawny boy with blonde hair and brown eyes hidden behind glasses and bangs.
"No, I can't harm you, any of you, it's against my oath," Sapphire said, placing her left hand over her heart while raising her right hand in mock promise.
"What exactly is an Angel of Death then?" The green haired girl asked, eyeing her skeptically. Pink eyes seemed to stare at her for what seemed like forever before she finally sighed.
"My case is this, I was born normal, just like you. I was, however, sold to a demon as a child, and as a result, I am part demon. I ran away when I was eight, looking for a place to hide. Luckily, my mother left me something, this choker," Sapphire picked at the leather and lace choker, picking up the silver cross that hung from it, "Finally, curling up in a ball on the street, death took me. Bringing me back as an Angel Of Death. It's very quiet complicated. Now, if you'd care to tell me your names-"
"What a tragic story! My poor Angel," One of the blonde boys said, walking up and hugging the girl close. Sapphire stood, frozen to her spot, God these people were testing her patience. Maybe she would let herself slip, tell them all it was an accident- No, then you'd have to clean up the mess, and blood is absolutely impossible to get out of your hair!
"Horatio. Prince Horatio Aragon," The blonde boy said once he stepped back, handing the girl a red rose. Sapphire took the flower cautiously, eyeing the blonde as she did.
"Ailes de Paon," The green haired girl said, stepping up and holding her hand out to the girl. Sapphire took the girl's hand reluctantly, shaking it slowly.
"Hi, I'm Electra Pryce, this is my brother, Thunder," The blonde girl said, stepping up to the white haired angel. She had a southern twang to her voice, and she fit the part of a southern cheerleader, with her peppy purple and blue outfit and short blonde hair. Electra held the blonde boy with glasses close, making a slight blush creep onto the boys cheeks. Sapphire stood there before smiling warmly, holding out her hand and shaking with the southern family.
"Welcome, I hope you feel right at home here," Sapphire said. She could feel it, that pressure anyone with gifts carried with them, and these two were packing a bunch of it.
"Hi," Another blonde male stepped up, this one with brown eyes. This boy, he had a pressure that was quiet different, making Sapphire cock an eyebrow.
"Welcome," Sapphire said, watching the girl. Headmistress Ross had mixed the new students in with the new mortals, this was going to be complicated.
"Menacine Franklin Boabond," A blonde said from the back. The teen looked so much like a female, with the platinum blonde hair that covered one eye, and the feminine clothing wasn't helping much. This teen, he was different, a very different kind of pressure followed him around, not paranormal, much more darker than that, it felt as though one could drown in it.
"Welcome," Sapphire whispered, noting how the boy nodded. She noted to keep an eye on this boy, something more sinister seemed to follow him around, and she had a feeling he knew it too.
"I'm Arte de Paon, Ailes's twin sister," A dirty blonde haired girl with gray eyes stepped forward, smiling and pushing thick rimmed glasses up on her nose.
"Welcome," Sapphire said, eyes snapping to the green haired girl standing next to a brown haired boy with glasses.
"This is Kentin, but you can call him Ken," Ailes said, making the brown haired boy, Ken, blush.
"I'm Rintin Tin, nice to meet you Sapphire," A blonde haired boy said. His short blonde hair and purple eyes made him look a bit younger than he seemed.
"And you are?" Sapphire turned to a blonde haired boy standing against the bookshelf. He was particularly attractive, blonde hair, tanned to a tee, and gentle but brilliant blue eyes.
"Dake," The blonde said, voice drenched in an Australian accent, "Dakota." Sapphire smirked, shaking her head. He was like a doll, really, perfect in a way that seemed unreal, but she had someone else's eye, and he had hers. Sapphire nodded, tucking a piece of white hair behind her ear.
"Well, we really need to be going, unless we don't want to run into Necromancy 101 teacher, Mr. Frollo, or worse," Sapphire added the last part to herself, but it didn't go unnoticed.
"Alright, let's get goin' then!" Ailes called, following the girl back into the library.
"No! You do not know von Gogh better than I do! I was alive to see his work!" Alicia shouted at the white haired book keeper.
"That may be true but, the books can tell-"
"Nobody cares about your goddamned books! Get back to class!" Sapphire screamed at the two, making each look up at the angel.
"What the hell's wrong with you?" Scarlet asked from next to her watching her friend struggle to keep a handle.
"I'm fine, I have no clue what you're talking about," Sapphire shrugged, shaking her head lightly.
"You'd better be, cause look's who's comin' this way," Scarlet pointed toward the door, making Sapphire snap her head up to see the silver haired Victorian vampire walk into the library. Sapphire blushed, tucking a piece of long white hair behind her ear.
"Hey, you okay? Aren't you supposed to be taking us to our rooms?" Ailes asked, popping her head up on the girl's shoulder.
"Y-Yeah, excuse me," Sapphire apologized, walking back toward the entrance to the library.
"Hey, wait a minute, why are you blushing so much?" Ailes asked, poking at the girl's cheek.
"O-Oh, it's n- nothing." Sapphire said, tugging at a long red sleeve.
"Riiight, I'll believe that when Ken flies," Ailes said, walking up next to the blushing girl. Sapphire stole one more glance at the vampire, noticing his eyes on her, making her blush even more. She offered a soft smile, receiving a smile back. She quickly walked out of the library, making sure her small group was out before shutting the doors. Ailes eyed her curiously before a smile broke out on her face. Sapphire walked to the front of the line once more, leading them toward the freshly built, 'Mortal House.' Though, some shouldn't even be there, maybe they'd stick around and she'd have to show them the way to Elemental House. She sighed, digging in her pocket for her phone, checking the time.
"Damn," She muttered under her breath. Red was going to kill her for being late to lunch, and hopefully Lysander didn't try to talk to her again today. That'd be the next thing, blowing it big with the guy of your dreams.
"So, you like him right?" Ailes asked, popping up next to the angel once more.
"Shut up Ailes," Sapphire warned, hoping not to get into this type of conversation now, for all she knew, Lysander could be right behind her. That would be the worst thing ever in her mind.
