((Sorry if the chapter's crappy, i've been busy (.) ))
Dean pulled up to the House of Night, his emerald eyes wide as he took in the sight, "this is a school?" he asked, glancing back at Castiel in the rear-view mirror.
Castiel nodded, "you must take her inside and get her to the High Priestess" he said.
The hunter nodded, then glanced over at his sister, who was still asleep. He reached over and gently shook her awake, "Angel" he said softly.
She shifted in her seat, emerald eyes fluttering open before moving to Dean. "What is it?" she murmured sleepily.
"We're here" He said.
She sat up, her eyes widening in shock as she saw the House of Night, "holy crap" she breathed, then turned to her brother and Castiel, "This is where i'm going to school?" she asked.
Dean nodded, "yeah, why couldn't dad send us to a school like this?" he said.
She smiled, then slipped Dean's jacket off her body, folding it and laying it beside her.
"Ready, Ang?" Dean asked her, a tone of reluctance in his voice.
Angel sighed, before nodding, "yeah, i guess" she said, then opened the door with a sigh.
Dean and Castiel got out of the car with her, then Dean watched as the huntress went to the trunk, pulling out her duffle bag.
"Let's get this over with" she sighed, then after she shut the trunk. She was about to walk around the car when Castiel approached her and pressed his fingers to her forehead, just above her Mark.
"What the hell?" she muttered, watching the angel pull away. "What did you just do?" she asked, noting the look of surprise in her twin's eyes. "What? What is it?"
"He just changed you into a teenager again" Dean said, shifting his gaze the Castiel. "Why'd you do that?" he asked, just as confused as Angel.
"That way she can blend in. All the students here are in their teenage years" Castiel explained.
"Huh. That makes sense" Angel commented, then before things can get weirder, they began walking into the school.
The trio walked through the lantern-lit stone hallways, curiosity and wonder glittering in their colored eyes.
"Do you know where we're going?" Dean asked in a hushed tone after a while of walking.
"Just follow me" Angel said as she walked ahead of the boys, not entirely sure how she knew where to go. Maybe it was instinct? She didn't know, but she also didn't question it. She continued walking, then they eventually came to a large, wooden door. She glanced back at her brother and Castiel before going to knock at the door, but as she rose her fist to knock, the door swung open.
The hunters shared a look of confusion before a silky, sweet voice rang out to them.
"Please, enter."
Angel took a breath before walking in, finding herself in a vast office, an attractive, auburn-haired woman sitting at the desk. Dean and Castiel followed shortly after, flanking Angel on either side; Dean out of worry, and Castiel just to stand with her.
"please, there is no need to worry. I mean no harm, I am Neferet, the High Priestess of this House of Night" she said sweetly, rising from her seat. She approached the hunters and reached out, grasping Angel's forearm, shaking her hand in the traditional Vampyre way, which left the Winchesters confused. "Welcome to the House of Night, Angel Winchester" she smiled warmly.
"Um... thanks" Angel responded.
Neferet looked behind Angel, "Thank you, Dean Winchester and Castiel, for bringing her safely"
"What's going to happen with her?" Dean asked.
"She will attend school here, will learn the ways of the fledglings and vampyres, and she will also complete the Change during her time here"
"Will we ever get to see her again?" The hunter asked, disliking this more and more. He didn't want Angel to be on her own like this. Besides, he'll be alone in the bunker; Sam was gone, Kevin was dead and Castiel was rarely there.
"Of course you can see her often, we do not restrict visitation, however, you will have to grow accustomed to the schedule we have. Vampyres and fledglings sleep during the day and are active at night" Neferet explained, but it didn't make the hunter feel any better.
The High Priestess could feel the worry radiating off of Dean, so she spoke, "Dean, she has to remain here. I know you are uncomfortable about the idea of leaving her on her own, but it's necessary that she stays here. I am sorry, Dean. I do not wish to pull your sister away, but if she is not with adult vampyres, her body will reject the Change and she will die."
"Can't i stay here with her? I don't feel comfortable leaving her in another state" He'd already lost Sammy, he didn't want to lose Angel next; the loss of his twin would push him over the edge.
"Dean, i am afraid that cannot be allowed. You are human, Dean. This is a home for vampyres, it will be difficult for you if you were to live here. I am sorry, Dean. I would let you, but you are human. However, i will not stop you from visiting her." Neferet said, her fists clenching behind her back each time the word human left her lips.
Dean sighed reluctantly, nodding.
"Now, Angel. Since you are starting a new life, you have the chance to change your name. Of course, you don't have to. It's just an option" Neferet told the huntress.
"Um... I'm good with my name" Angel responded.
Neferet smiled and nodded, "okay, that is perfectly fine. I will have my Warrior accompany you to the girls dormitory"
"Alright" Angel responded.
"Just remain here while i go get him" The Vampyre said, then swept the room, her dark velvet dress flowing behind her as she walked away.
Angel sighed, then sat in a chair, Dean taking the one beside her, Castiel moving to stand in front of the hunters.
"What are we going to do?" Dean asked.
Angel shrugged, "i guess we just deal with it" she said. She hated this as much as Dean did. She didn't want to be Marked, she didn't want to be a stupid vampyre, she didn't want to start a new, pointless life. This whole entire thing was going to be a waste of her time. Besides, she was hunter, she couldn't leave that behind for something like this. Even if she wanted to get out of being a hunter, it would never work, that much was obvious during the many times they each tried to leave. No matter how hard you worked at trying to quit being a hunter, the lifestyle always sucked you back in.
Dean sighed, "Great" he muttered, then the trio looked up when the High Priestess walked in, followed by a man with a tattoo of a dragon on his face.
"Whoa" The twins chimed, "cool" Dean trailed off.
"Hello, i'm Dragon, i am the Sword Master of this school. I am here to accompany you to your dorm as well as get you situated with the House of Night" The man said.
Angel nodded, "okay, thank you" she said, moving to get up.
Dragon nodded as well, then moved towards the door.
"Wait, can Dean come with me?" The huntress asked, glancing at her twin who was getting up as well.
"I suppose he could" Dragon answered, then began walking.
Dean followed Angel, Castiel and the Sword Master, the four of them walking through the stone, lantern-lit hallways.
Dragon led the hunters and the angel throughout the campus, pointing everything out to the Winchester.
Winchester. He repeated mentally. Her last name sounded so familiar, but he couldn't pinpoint why. He continued walked with the Winchesters and Castiel, showing them around.
After a while of walking, Dragon came across the dining hall. He turned back to Angel, capturing her bright jade eyes. "It's lunch, so the students are eating. Maybe you would like to join them before we head to your dorm room" he suggested.
"Uh, sure" she answered, then watched as Dragon pushed the doors open, revealing a large dining room filled with students who had the same Marks as Angel, save for the one girl who had a filled-in Mark.
"I'll be waiting out here until you're ready" Dragon said, then walked away.
The Winchesters shared a glance, then they stepped into the dining room and headed towards the lunch line, Castiel trailing along behind them. "
"This is so weird" Angel whispered to her brother as they went through the line.
"Tell me about it. Just when you think you've seen it all, you really haven't" Dean responded, then once they got their food, they headed for an empty table with was next to the one the Vampyre girl was sitting at.
Zoey watched as the twins made their way towards the table next to her group's. It seemed very odd that someone like that girl would be Marked, but then again, Zoey herself was Marked differently. That didn't stop her from trying to figure it out.
Zoey turned to her friends who were having a heavy conversation over who the hottest movie actor was. It was a tie between Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. Zoey chose Leonardo with no hesitation, but then it started a war.
"Hey, guys" She spoke, the seriousness in her voice stopping the debate mid-sentence.
Her friend glanced at her, Stevie Rae and Damien with a curious gaze and the Twins with an annoyed face.
"Check it out. We got a new student" Zoey stated, looking back over at the Winchesters and the trench-coated man, who were having a hushed, yet heated discussion.
"Whoa! She's so pretty!" Stevie Rae stated in surprise.
"But check out those boots on her. Seriously, that is just disgusting. They're so full of mud and who knows what else" Erin stated.
"I know, Twin. Her outfit looks so cute, but those nasty boots ruin it" Shaunee chimed in.
"Guys, stop. You shouldn't judge the way she dresses, maybe she's a hiker or something" Damien said.
The Twins glared at Damien, but before they could start a cat-fight, Stevie Rae jumped in.
"I'm gonna go say hi" she said, then got up and started walking over to the trio, her short, blonde curls bouncing with every step she took. "Hiya! I'm Stevie Rae!" She greeted perkily once she reached the table.
Angel looked up and gave the girl a smile, "hey. I'm Angel" she answered, "and this is my brother, Dean, and our friend, Castiel" she said, pointing them out.
Dean gave the girl a small wave, while Castiel gave her a small, quick nod.
"Nice to meet ya. Did ya just get Marked today?" Stevie Rae asked curiously.
Angel nodded, "yeah, this morning, actually" she answered.
"Cool!" Stevie Rae beamed.
Angel smiled, "yeah" she responded.
"Do ya know who your roomie is?" Stevie Rae asked with curious blue eyes that reminded the hunters of Castiel, who sat beside them, watching the perky blonde.
"Um, no. Am i supposed to have a roommate?" Angel asked. No one informed her that she was to have a roommate.
"Yeah, everyone has a roomie" Stevie Rae answered.
"Oh, well then i guess i'll ask" Angel said.
Stevie Rae smiled, then gestured to the spot beside Angel, "mind if i sit with ya'll?" she asked.
Angel nodded, "sure" she said, then scooted over to make room for the girl.
Stevie Rae smiled again, then sat down beside the huntress, "so, what part of Oklahoma are ya from?" she asked.
"Actually, i'm not. Me and Dean are from Lawrence, Kansas" Angel stated.
"Ooh, so we're like, cousins or somethin'" Stevie Rae commented, "that's so cool" she added.
Angel nodded.
"Well, it was nice meetin' ya, Angel. Hope i see ya around" Stevie Rae said, then got up and walked over to her original group.
The twins glanced at each other, then Angel shrugged before turning back to her food. She ate most of her food, then her and her brother got up and went to go throw their trash away. Castiel stood from the table, then joined the Winchesters when they began heading for the door. Once the doors shut behind them, the dining hall erupted into a flurry of whispers and gossip about the new girl.
"She was really nice" Stevie Rae commented, turning to her friends.
The group agreed, but Zoey was too busy trying to figure out why they looked so familiar. Before she could ponder further, Erik came to the table to say hi to Zoey.
"Hey, Z" Erik greeted, leaning his hand on back of the chair that Shaunee was sitting on.
"Hey Erik" Zoey greeted in return, giving him a smile.
"I was wondering if you would like to join me tonight in watching a movie"
"Um, sure. What movie?" Zoey asked, but her thoughts were elsewhere.
"Whatever you want. Tonight is ladies choice" He smiled.
"Um..." She paused, her curiosity about the new girl getting the best of her. "You know, that sounds really good, Erik, but uh, i need to help the new girl get used to being here" she said.
"Oh, okay then. Maybe next time" He said.
Zoey nodded, "for sure" she said, then watched him leave.
"Zoey?! Are ya crazy? Why'd ya turn him down?" Stevie Rae asked.
"Again, don't forget, again" Erin said.
"Exactly, Twin" Shaunee agreed.
"Look, i'm sorry, but i have this feeling about Angel. There's something about her" Zoey said.
"It better be a damn good feeling, because you just turned down the world's hottest guy. Again." Shaunee said...
