We had made it in the gates just in time for them to close just behind us. I could see the sun rising on the over the wall that closed the school off from the rest of the city, and I had a feeling I would be in great pain very soon if I didn't get inside some where.

"Boys! Get your stuff outa the trunk and pass me mine please! We have to get inside and find Rennie so we can find our rooms and we only have a few minutes before the sun comes up! So please hurry up." I practically beg the twins.

"Amber, baby, its gonna be fine." James said as he pulled me close to his side. "We will be inside before the sun can hurt your eyes, do not worry. I know where her office is already from the times I have been here so we need not look for it, but I have to agree that if these little slow pokes don't hurry up she may have left her office and retired to her room, which I, or anyone not invited for that matter can enter."

"Well maybe will just take forever then you little whiners! We have are stuff and yours Amber so your welcome." Alex said as he threw my very heavy bag to me.

"Thank you Alex, and Austin, but you were takin a little too long, we have not more than five minutes to get too the High Priestess and to find our rooms before the sun is over the wall and we don't know if Rennie is even in her office or not."

"Child, im right here so do not worry." I Heard someone say from behind the closest tree. As the woman stepped away from her hiding spot and I saw the beautiful face and tattoos of Rennie." Now I have heard that you have decided to stay here, so you will need a room. We have only a few guest rooms but there is one near my loft that is big enough for all of you to share. It has three rooms, two bathrooms, a hot tube, a kitchen and a 42" TV. You should be fine in that room. I will speak to you further when the sun goes down tonight, and until then follow me to the guest building, It is on my way to my own." She said as she started to turn around." Oh, and Amber? I will speak too you about the circle tonight as well. Let these warriors take your luggage for you." As she said that three mountain looking men waked out of the closest building and took James, the twins and my bags from us and started to walk after their High Priestess.

When we arrived at the guest building we stopped outside while the warriors looked at Rennie." their room is on the second floor, it is room five. Please take them there and make sure they feel at home. Have one of you stay with them for the day and help them with anything they may need. You know where the spare beds are. Now I am off to my chambers for a long days sleep. Blessed be Nyxs children and merry meet." She said as she turned and walked away.

The smallest of the three men who were carrying our bags opened the door and motioned for us to step in. We walked up the stairs to the second floor and then moved outa the way so that the walking mountains could pass to show us were our room was.

They stopped in front of a big double door, that was a deep oak color. They smallest one again opened the door, the two other mountains stepped in and we followed.

I, along with James, Alex and Austin, all gapped at the gorgeous room wehad stepped into. It was a cream color with hanging chandeliers holding candles coving the ceiling. There was a light brown couch that curved and two darker brown recliners in the middle of the room facing the side wall which held the 42" plasma TV. I could see the kitchen from the doorway and it was all jaded wood, with procaine looking counters and a huge island in the middle of it. As I walked through our temporary home here I found the bedrooms. And as Rennie said there were there. The were two smaller ones that I thought would be good for the boys, and then there was a master bedroom, which I claimed when I saw it as mine and James's. As I looked around the room I thought about what would happen with us sharing a bed for a whole week!

I grabbed the bags from the three warriors while the boys were looking at our temporary home for the week, and sat them down on each of our beds. When I turned around from James and my bed the warriors were walking in to me. They stopped in front of me and did a very strange thing, they all placed there right hands over their chests and heart and bowed to me. I was completely bewildered at what they were doing until James came in behind them and saw, he looked at me and must have saw my question-mark face because he rushed over and said," Amber, that is a sign of respect for powerful vampires or just to show respect to one another, I should have told you that before we came here, im sorry." And took my hand. He then looked at the three mountains and asked," Amber, Alex, Austin, and I are very tired because we have yet to sleep at all and the boys are very used to sleeping during the night so which one of you will be staying with us in the room, Im not trying to sound pushy but we are very tired." He said with a slight smile, and even I could see the tiredness in his eyes as he did so.

"Of coarse, and I believe I speak for Hercules, Cronus, and myself that we are sorry to have kept you awake longer than you would have normally, and that we are happy to have you here staying with us for the week." The biggest of the three said.

"Its alright, but what is your name? you have told us what there's are, but I would like to also know yours." I said as respectfully as I could. "Oh I am very sorry for not introducing myself before, my name is Darius. And I will remain here with you for your surface while you are staying with the school." Darius said as he bowed to James and me again, but this time I bowed back along with James.

"Thank you Darius, I along with my brothers and James will feel better with one of the Sons of Erebus Warriors looking out for us. Thank you. And thank you Hercules and Cronus for helping with our bags." I said, but it didn't sound like me. It sounded different.

"You are quite welcome young priestess." Cronus says whilst bowing. But I was in awe over what he had just called me to do anything other than stare. Why did he call me a Young Priestess? Why did I feel proud and woozy and scared and happy whe…

I was brought out of my mental hysteria by James touching my arm, but it felt more like a lovers caress." Amber? Are you okay? Hercules and Cronus left a few minutes ago and you haven't moved in almost 20, are you alright? Do you need to go to the infirmary?" He said with his gorgeous face all twisted in a worried look, and all for me, he loved me as much as I loved him. Or at least hope so.

"Oh, um, ya I fine. Don't worry bout me. I was just lost in thought. Why did Cronus call me 'Young Priestess'?"

"Because you deserve to be called it. You are beautiful, and are my personal priestess, but, I can guess the Sons of Erebus could feel the power coming off of you, I know I can, and so could Rennie. That's what we were talking about in the parking lot when we first arrived last night. She believes that you should remain here and become this House of Nights high priestess in training." He said, as a hopeful smile crept upon his face.

"James im not sure if I could do that. It would break my mothers heart if I left her and it would just cause troble if I told her I was a Vampire fledgling. And what about the boys? I couldn't leave them, I still cant for more than a few days! I Just don't know if I could stand it to leave my home and family to come here. And what about you? I know you can come and go whenever you want but could you stay here with me if I did stay?"

"Amber, I wouldn't even be your teacher if you came here, Rennie would. She would be teaching you about how to be a high priestess and you would be placed in the class's I took here when I was still a fledgling without a mentor. I would be able to stay with you unless you asked Rennie and she approved of it after speaking to the High Council about it Im sorry." He said as he started to walk of with a frown on his perfect lips, but before he could walk to far I grabbed his shoulder, spun him around and crushed my lips onto his. We stayed like that for ever it seemed before I pulled away.

"James I don't care how long it would take but I would get you here with me somehow! I love you!"

He didn't even hesitate after my saying that." Amber, I love you too. And you have no idea how much I do or how happy I am to hear you say you feel that same way." He said before placing his lips on mine again but this time more passionately. He pushed me up against the wall closest to us and I wrapped my legs around his waist, while my hands made knots in his hair. His hands traveled all over my body, and then went up my shirt. He stopped there and pulled away to look at me. I untangled my legs from around his waist, took his hand and walked into our bedroom. There we started were we had left off, except this time James had no hesitation with my shirt and I had none with his.

I woke up the next morning with his arms around me. I turned just enough to reach his face with my lips but not enough to wake him.

As I kissed his cheek his eyes opened and his smile was glowing with love and adoration." Good morning beautiful." He said then kissed me on the lips." Did you have fun last night?"

"Yes I did. But forgot to tell you something before we did that….It was my first time." I blushed.

"OH! Well im glad to be your first then Amber. Did I hurt you?" He said now worried.

"No you didn't, I loved it, as I love you."

Okay, please don't kill me! I know it took me a long time to update but new semester just stared and I have been busy with it. Im sorry. I wont be updating as much as I have before this one because I have a harder semester this time. Like this week I have a project due, a essay and a French writing activity thing.
