Chapter 5

Homeroom was pretty boring, Caelan was really nice and he caught me up with class. He had orangey red hair and green eyes, figures, he's Irish! Most of what we learned in this class already is what Darien had already taught us so I surprised the teacher by already knowing the answer to all the questions. Terran knew the answers as well, but he was dead asleep. I decided to not pay attention and instead be on alert for anything suspicious. I was in the middle of my scouting when a piece of paper was slid into my hand; it was a note. I looked up at Caelan who was still listening to the teacher, his eye slid towards me and he smiled. I opened the note and it read:

Shouldn't you be paying attention? After all it is your first day of class and I don't think you want to make the teacher angry.

I smiled and wrote back:

Don't worry about me, Darien already taught us this, if you need help you can ask me anytime, I think?

I slid the note back to him when the teacher wasn't looking and instead of watching him write back I looked over at Amaya. She was pretty, and she seemed to like my brother, she looked up and caught me catching her staring at him. She went red as a tomato and I started giggling. The entire class turned at the sound of my giggle.

"Care to share what seems to be so funny Miss Wolf?"

"I'm very sorry ma'am; it just seems to me that I'm having de ja vu for I already learned this."

"Oh, alright then," She turned back around to the white board and resumed teaching.

Caelan poked my arm and handed me the note:

That was close Myra, but you already learned this from the headmaster?

If you don't mind my asking, why do you and Terran live with him?

I sighed; it seems someone has to learn of our adoption. I wrote back to him:

About four years ago, my father was killed on the job. For two years our family lived in grief but when a fire came and destroyed our house mother had a breakdown. Terry and I brought her into the shelter of the forest so that no one could see her in this condition but then she finally lost it. She went insane, but she didn't want her children to see her like that, so she did what she thought was right; she committed suicide. For a year, my brother and I lived in the shelter of the forest; we hunted our food and took shelter in caves. When we went to the clearing where Darien found us, he invited us to the academy, when he learned of our orphanage he took us in; we've lived with him since.

I handed the note back to him and watched his reaction. When it was time for me and Terran to leave I woke him up with a telepathic message before raising my hand.

'Hey Terry, wake up we have a job to do.'

"Excuse me, , Terran and I are the supervisors that are supposed to guard the night class on their way here, may we leave?"

"Let me see your bands to prove it first."

We showed her the bands Darien gave us then waltzed out of the classroom.

'Sweet dreams?'

'Yes, actually, since I was so RUDELY awakened this morning.'

'Sorry, hey Beta, Amaya couldn't take her eyes off you today.'

'Oh really? And what did you and Caelan do?'

"Pass notes, he knows we're adopted but not the real reason why.'

'Oh.'

We walked in silence the rest of the way. When the bell rang a swarm of students, mostly girls, met us in front of the moon class dorm. There were whispers about us saying how we're the two twins who act in synch without thinking and talk at the same time saying the same thing. I also heard a thing or two from the girls that said my brother was cute and wished that they might get the chance to out with them. When the dorm door opened, Ayden stepped out.

"Hey there Myra, Terran, I told you I'd see you today," We smiled then we went to either side of the group and led them down the path keeping the students in check with a glare or a snarl every once in awhile. Once we finally got to the school, the moon class surrounded Terran and I.

"So you two are the wolf twins that Ayden was talking about?" A vampire girl asked Terran. She had the same pale complexion as us, but she had goldish colored eyes and light brown hair.

"Um, yes?" he answered; I giggled which brought the attention to me.

"He also stated that you had half of your soul taken and by taking your soul they took your twin's?"

I smiled, a full out smile revealing my sharp teeth, "But of course, we came from the same cell, didn't we?"

This set off a round of laughter in the vampires but the soulless just stood there examining us. They had the same hollow eyes that I had in one of mine (I forget which.)

'Terry, they're scaring me and I sense your discomfort, are you okay?'

'It's just that, there are so many magical creatures that I'm uncomfortable.'

'Alright, go ahead and phase I'll explain.'

"Well, it was nice to meet you but now we have to go scout, bye!"

They watched us as we phased into wolf form and then we went over to Ayden.

"I'm sorry if they swarmed you, did you guys freak out?"

We shrugged then barked, we each licked his ice cold hands then ran off to run the route.
