Chapter Three
Zoey Redbird woke up in the early morning, Nala laying down on her chest and staring at her face. She gave her usual old lady meow as Zoey opened her eyes. She yawned tiredly and pushed her cat off, Nala landing on the floor with a soft thud before she meowed once again and walked out of the room through the cat door in the door.
Zoey sat up and stretched her arms, yawning once again before throwing her legs out from the blanket and planting her feet on the softly carpeted floor. She sat silently for a few minutes, looking around the room. There was something different in the air, a dark shadow that hung there. She was lost in her thoughts and jumped as there was a loud knocking on the door.
"Come in," Zoey said in a hoarse voice. The door opened and Erin's head popped in. "Zo, the teachers called an assembly. It starts in about twenty minutes, I thought you should know," she said softly.
"Thanks, save me a seat and I'll be there," Zoey replied, taking a deep breath and standing up. She didn't even want to think about what the assembly was about. She had enough to deal with, Neferet being an evil bitch and all added on to dealing with the soul-seeking Stevie Rae.
She walked into her bathroom and ran a brush through her dark, thick hair. After brushing her teeth and putting on some light make up so she didn't look completely terrible, she walked back into her room and put on a pair of dark jeans and her Star Wars sweatshirt.
She walked out of her room, shutting the door behind her and walked down the hallway and down the stairs to the girls common room, where she took a side trip into the kitchen to get a fruit bar before walking to the auditorium.
As she walked in, she saw that almost the whole school in there, searching the crowd for her friends. She saw Damian and Jack waving her over to the front of the room, closest to the stage where Lenobia and Penthesilea were standing, looking impatient.
Zoey looked appoligetically at Lenobia as she sat down beside her friends.
Professor Penthesilea nodded her head to a Son of Erebus, and he and his brothers shut the auditorium doors, causing all of the fledglings to silence and look up at their professors.
Lenobia walked up to the microphone, taking a deep breath. "Fledglings! Today we called you here because I was visited by Nyx last night." The fledglings all started speaking at once in hushed tones before Lenobia silenced them once again.
"There is something that for centuries that only the most elite and well respected vampyres know. A secret that we have kept from everyone. In this vision, Nyx told me that it was time that this particular House of Night knew the secret. By you knowing this, our kind might might win in an upcoming war that the Oracle of Delhi has prophesized."
The room was deathly quiet as everyone stared at the equestrian professor.
"First off. Everything that you know about our kind. Why we change, why we die, why it is imperitive for you to stay near a vampyre. It is all a lie."
Please read and review! Totally spur of the moment chapter :/ I know it sucks but OH WELL!
