Here's the next chapter. It's slightly larger than the last chapter, though not by much. However, quite a few characters appear, but you have to read closely. Some only appear by name while others only appear by their physical description. In the next chapter, I will begin splitting the story into three sections; Alpha, Sigma, an Omega. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.
The Arrival III: Sigma Aura
Sierra and Leon made their way through the halls of the Omicron mansion when they noticed Desiree and Maiami; the two blondes they had encountered earlier, chatting with one another. They also saw Vince Ivory and the Maseo twins ahead of them. Along with them were several other new students who were walking in the same direction. When they reached the end of the hallway, an elderly man dressed in a tuxedo greeted them.
"My name is Gamma Warrington," he began in a stiff voice. "Feel free to address me by either my given name or my surname. Now, follow me."
He pushed back the curtains and led the new students into the main room of the Omicron mansion. There were dozens of older students from all three groups seated in different sections of the room. The Alphas were gathered around the small stage that was at the center of the room, the Omegas were standing in the furthest corner of the room, and the Sigmas were stretched out on the couches. Looking at them, Sierra realized that she knew a lot about the Alphas and Omegas, but she barely knew anything about the Sigmas. Chase had mentioned that they were 'alright' and that was just about it. Gamma helped them onto the stage and immediately stepped down.
"What's wrong?" Leon asked her. "You nervous?"
"A little," she whispered back. "What if we end up in Omega or worse, what if we're separated?"
"What does it matter?" Leon replied calmly. "We'll still be friends."
Sierra smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. There were a few stares and whispers from some people in the crowd, but she paid them no mind. She saw her brother at the foot at the stage with the other Alphas. He grinned at her for a moment before suddenly turning his attention towards the back of the room along with the rest of the Alphas, the Omegas, and the Sigmas. The crowd parted as Gamma made the announcement.
"Introducing the Sisters of Omicron; Zeta of the Alphas, Eta of the Sigmas, and Theta of the Omegas."
Three figures dressed in large hooded cloaks made their way down the aisle and stopped before the stage. The one to the right was dressed in red, the one in the middle in green, and the one to the left in blue. They removed their hoods in unison and Sierra saw the faces of three beautiful women. They were identical in every way except for their eye and hair color. Zeta had red hair and eyes, Eta had green, and Theta had blue. They raised their hands into the air and the room went dark. When the light returned, Sierra noticed strange auras surrounding the older students. The Alphas were surrounded by various hues of red while the Sigmas had a mixture of yellow and green and the Omegas had everything ranging from baby blue to black auras.
"Now," Gamma continued as he pulled a list out of his pocket. "I will call the names of each new student in alphabetical order. When I call your name step forward and the Sisters will determine which group you will be in. After that, you will step down and join them. First, Cornelius Baxter."
A boy with sandy blond hair and blue eyes stepped forward as the Sisters raised their hands. A reddish aura surrounded him and Eta and Theta lowered their hands as Zeta spoke.
"Cornelius Baxter, from this day forth, you are an Alpha..."
The Alphas cheered as the boy went down to join them. Gamma moved on to the next name and Sierra took a deep breath. "Sierra Carter," he called out.
There were several gasps from the crowd as she stepped forward. She immediately caught the eye of a girl in the Omega crowd. She was staring at Sierra with curiosity in her dark eyes. Her hair was dark and her skin was fair, but the thing that briefly caught Sierra's attention was the silver ring that she had on. It was the exact same one that Vince Ivory was wearing. However, not even the ring distracted Sierra from the aura that surrounded the young woman. Her aura was the blackest one in the entire room. The three girls around her had extremely dark purple auras. Sierra took a look at some of the other Omegas. The young man with gray hair and red eyes standing a few feet from the four girls had an extremely dark blue aura while another girl with straggly black hair and a large smile on her face had a baby blue one. Oliver Weston and a boy with blond hair and red eyes had matching navy blue auras.
Sierra shifted her view to the Alphas. One boy in particular caught her eye. Not only was it the color of his aura that drew attention, but also the fact that he was standing near the Omegas instead of his own group. He had white hair with even whiter skin and red eyes. His aura was a bloody red in contrast to the other Alphas. Maria's aura was a lovely pink while Anthony and Lloyd had ruby red auras, and Mac had a sunny orange one. Sierra glanced at all of the Alphas before she rested her eyes on her brother. Chase's aura was a very deep red, the brightest out of everyone in the entire room. From the look on his face, she could tell that he had knowledge of it.
"Sierra Carter, from this day forth, you are a Sigma..."
She suddenly realized that while she was looking around the room, she didn't notice Eta's hand in the air and the forest green aura around herself. There were cheers from the Sigma students as the youngest Carter stepped down from the stage to join them. On the way there, she glanced at Chase. He grinned at her and gave her a brief nod before returning his attention to the stage. Sierra looked at the older Sigmas that surrounded her. Most of them appeared to be friendly and had natural green, sea green, emerald green, and golden brown auras.
"Leon Conrad," Gamma suddenly called out.
Sierra quickly turned towards the stage as her best friend stepped forward. The Sisters raised their hands and a mellow greenish-yellow aura surrounded him. Zeta and Theta lowered their hands as Eta spoke.
"Leon Conrad, from this day forth, you are a Sigma..."
The Sigmas cheered as they received another member. Sierra wrapped her arms around him as he approached the rest of the Sigmas. They continued watching as Antoinette Depaul was put into the Alphas. Sierra noticed a look of distaste on Desiree's face as Antoinette went down to join the group. Rodney Gingerback was put into the Sigma group next as Gamma continued.
"Vincent Ivory..."
The gray-eyed, dark-haired boy stepped forward with an arrogant look on his face. He gazed at the Omega girl with the silver ring and glanced down at the same exact one on his finger. A dark blue aura surrounded Vince as Zeta and Eta lowered their hands. For the first time, Theta spoke.
"Vincent Ivory, from this day forth, you are an Omega..."
There were a few cheers from the otherwise gloomy Omegas, most of them coming from the group of girls with the dark auras. Vince grinned as he stepped down and made his way over to the Omegas. Gamma continued down the list as Jay Kiden and Vivian Haywood were put into Alpha and Omega respectively. After Maiami was put into the Alphas, Gamma reached Desiree's name.
"Desiree LeBlanca..."
The platinum blonde stepped forward and a pink aura surrounded her. It wasn't the same lovely pink as Maria's. Instead, it was more of a hot pink color similar to Antoinette and Maiami's aura colors. Eta and Theta lowered their hands as the Alpha sister spoke.
"Desiree LeBlanca, from this day forth, you are an Alpha..."
Desiree smiled as she stepped down from the stage. She stood next to Maiami and the two began whispering amongst themselves. Theodore Mahoney and the large, husky twins, Perry and Parker Maseo, were all put into Omega.
"Crissy Sabina..." Gamma called.
A girl with brown eyes and pale skin stepped forward. She had blue highlights in her hair and a mischievous grin on her face. A royal blue aura surrounded her and Theta spoke.
"Crissy Sabina, from this day forth, you are an Omega..."
The girl winked at the crowd as she stepped down and made her way over to the Omegas.
"Cale Shoemaker..." Gamma called out as he read the name off of the list. There were a few snickers from the crowd as the annoyed boy stepped forward. He had messy black hair with hazel eyes and was dressed in all black. Sierra immediately thought 'Omega' when she noticed his demeanor. However, she was surprised when a sour-looking lime green aura surrounded him. Zeta and Theta lowered their hands and their Sigma sister spoke.
"Cale Shoemaker, from this day forth, you are a Sigma..."
The boy joined the Sigmas, though he kept a small distance from them. After Rick Smith and Demi Wilson were placed in Alpha and Omega, the auras surrounding everyone disappeared and the Sisters suddenly vanished. Gamma made his way onto the now empty stage to deliver his final speech.
"Older students, be sure to help make the new students feel at home. That is all..."
Stay tuned for the next chapter. OC's are still accepted at the forum.
