The next morning Evyon skipped breakfast completely and went straight to Divination class, being the first to arrive in the large circled room. She sat down at a table in the back this time, hoping that she wouldn't be with Ramy again. There was just something about him that scared her, not to mention she was afraid that Kai might have told his fellow Efees about her.

Casting her gaze around at the empty room, she pulled out a book and began writing down in it. It was a journal she decided she would keep to prove to people that she could make it in Durmstrang as a girl. Evyon had been so absorbed in her journal that she didn't realize someone had sat down next to her.

"What are you writing?" He asked leaning across the table.

Evyon instantly shut the journal in reaction and stuffed it away. "Nothing," she replied noticing that it was Ramy. Great, she thought to herself. "Don't you have anyone else to sit with? We're enemies," she inquired confused.

"Enemies? Please, you don't even know me."

"You're Ramy of the Efees," she replied to him.

"Wow, fantastic! You can listen to what your friends say!" Ramy replied rolling his eyes and slamming his hand down on the table in frustration. "You're not even a Malcohr!"

Evyon was taken aback by Ramy's sudden outburst. "I am a Malcohr!"

"You have no idea, what any of this is about!" Ramy replied turning to look at Evyon with dark eyes blazing with fury. "You don't know anything about Durmstrang!"

Evyon couldn't say anything. He was right after all, she didn't know anything about Durmstrang. "Fine, want to enlighten me?"

"Please! These groups we have, the Malcohrs, the Efees, the Toulines, the Biyrs, the Koultys… and all the other groups. This is to see who is the strongest and who will take over as the next dark lord. Voldemort was weak and now the new age has appeared. Only the strong from Durmstrang can truly be the dark lord." Ramy replied sharply.

"Why don't you just create one giant group of evil?"

"Because then we wouldn't be able to concentrate on evil, but power. Everyone wants to be the leader and having these groups allows us to do that. Over the years in Durmstrang these groups grow and at the end there is a large battle between the last few groups standing. The losers either have the choice to join or disappear." Ramy explained to her in annoyance.

Evyon had never known anything about this, but it suddenly made her want power so much more. "So that's why the Malcohrs were nice to me? They wanted me in their group?"

"Exactly and that's why Kai was mean to you, because he saw you as a threat."

Evyon finally understand everything that had happened in this school and personally she loved it. "How come they don't allow girls?"

"Because, girls are weak. They are frilly and they are scared all the time. They can't handle the pressure of becoming the next dark lord, not that anyone would want to follow them. Although occasionally the groups will find a few girls from Beauxbatons that will join them. That's the main reason for the ball every year, to see who is loyal to who." Ramy said and finally turned away.

"Wait, but-"

"No, I'm not answering any more questions. Go ask the Malcohrs since you think you are one, but a word of advice, you might want to look for a new group." Ramy told her as he looked at her from the corner of his eye.

Evyon turned to face the stage as their teacher again dropped from the ceiling. All through class she kept glancing at Ramy, there was this dark aura around him and she wondered if it was because he was a dark angel, or if he had been like that as a kid as well. The class ended and Ramy got up and disappeared before Evyon could say anything.

Shaking her head in annoyance she got up and walked over to the stage. "Excuse me, Professor Valkor. About our homework…"

"What about it? Do you have an issues with writing down your dreams?"
"No sir… it's just that I don't dream."

"Everyone dreams, son."

"No, I mean I really don't dream. I haven't had one in my entire life." Evyon admitted.

"Well then what do you propose we do?"

"You're the teacher, aren't you supposed to answer that one?"

"Yeah, I guess so," he said in frustration and began to think. "Well record your friends dreams and then I want you to try and figure out what they mean."

Evyon looked up at her teacher with an 'are you kidding me' look, but he had already flown up into the ceiling again and she was forced to comply. With an annoyed sigh she left the round room and stood in the bubble back to the castle before heading off to her next class.

Evyon sat down in the middle of the class, which was extremely boring with no pictures, no plants, and three windows spaced evenly apart. No wonder people hate this class. She thought to herself as her teacher walked out and began to talk about Muggles.

"What are the most common ways to get around a Muggle city?"

Evyon raised her hand knowing the answer, but the teacher picked on another student. Turning to see who it was, she saw that he was a Touline. In fact his name was Tony and he was from Australia. He had shaggy, dirty blonde hair and Evyon couldn't see his eyes.

"Muggles use horses which drag carriages behind them."

"Psh, maybe 100 years ago," Evyon snickered.

"What was that Mr. Keldun?" The teacher asked.

"Muggles haven't used horses since the early 1900's. Now they use cars, walking, subways, buses, trains and things like that." Evyon replied rather boredly.

"How do you know? Last time I heard, you never left your house." Tony replied turning around to glare at her.

"You don't have to leave the house to know things like that. It's called the Internet, you should look at it sometime." She replied rolling her eyes.

"That's a good thing to bring up Mr. Keldun. What is the Internet students?"

Evyon was so close to smashing her head on her desk, but she knew it would be easy to get a good grade in this class and that was why she took it. As the students all decided to get up and leave, since class had ended, the teacher told them their homework. "I want a three page paper on what is the Internet."

As she left the class, she felt someone following her and she quickly whipped around to face Tony. "What do you want?" She growled.

"I can't believe you would upstage me like that. I am trying to get a good grade in this class." Tony complained rather girlishly.

Evyon gave him a confused look, "uh… if that is what your answers are. Then you are going to fail this class."

"But I can't fail this class!" He complained stomping his foot.

Evyon had officially lost it and turned away trying to understand what had just happened.

"Hey, don't turn away from me when I am talking to you!"

"Dude are you a guy or a girl!" Evyon snapped at him with a raised eyebrow before turning away and leaving him alone. Man, he's so crazy. He almost seemed…nah. She thought to herself as she made her way to Flying class.

Flying class was outside and so therefore they had to take the transporter to the surface. Evyon stood on the large circle and it formed a bubble just after Kai stepped onto the circle with her. They shot up through the school and into the water towards the surface above.

"I have been thinking about your blackmail," he said to her simply.

Evyon looked over at Kai with a glare. "What do you want from me?"

Kai turned to look at her and smirked, "you are going to leave the Malcohrs."

"What?! That's absurd!" She snapped. "I'm not going to leave the Malcohrs."

"You either do it, or I tell the entire school your secret." Kai said forcefully.

"Why do you want me to leave the Malcohrs anyway?"

"Because the Malcohrs don't need you and we could use someone of your talents."

"So you are afraid that while I am a Malcohr that they are a threat to you." Evyon inquired.

"No, that's not-"

"Oh, I get it. You don't want to fight me again, because you're afraid of a big bad wolf." She said mockingly.

"No!" He snapped and reached forward as if to punch her, but stopped.

"What is that about? Restraint?"

"I am not supposed to hit a girl."

"Oh please!" Evyon snapped and punched him in the arm. "The whole reason I came here was to prove that I was able to stand this bullshit. Now HIT ME!"

Kai turned to Evyon and attacked her. He began to punch her repeatedly and Evyon would punch back, although not with the same aim.

Meanwhile the bubble had surfaced and they were fighting in front of a bunch of students. The teacher came over and pushed the two apart staring at both of them coldly. "No, fighting here, leave that to the Quidditch game." He snarled at them, before pushing them each in a different direction. "Now today we will work on controlling the broomstick and for those of you who failed yesterday's lesson are in trouble."

All of the students grabbed their broom and mounted it. At the whistle they had to go from one end of the field, make a sharp stop, turn and go to the other end. They did this for a while and then worked on take offs and touch downs. Finally class was over and they all got back into the bubble and headed back to the castle.

"Remember what I said Evan," Kai said before disappearing and Evyon left to go to her next class. Charms was a very uneventful class and nothing ever happened there so she spent the entire time trying to figure out how to tell the others. "I can't be a Malcohr anymore… I don't want to be a Malcohr anymore… I hate you guys… The Efee's are better… I'm so doomed," she thought to herself and decided to ask Seboyk what to do. Being an elf he always seemed so wise.

Leaving Charms she headed off to Transfiguration and found the Toulines all sitting there whispering as she walked by to sit next to Seboyk. "Hey jackass, come back over here!" Caelhoek called from across the room to Evyon.

Reluctantly she stood from her seat and walked over, slamming her hands down on the table she looked into his eyes. "What do you want?" She snarled.

"I hear you were being rude to Tony here."

"Yeah, what of it?"

"We don't like you being mean to our friends."

"Then, maybe you should tell your friend not to act like such a total girl!" She shouted at him, fury building up inside of her. "He's the one who is a pansy-ass! So next time you want to stand up for someone, find someone who can at least stand up for themselves!" She threw her dark gaze at Tony before storming back over to Seboyk and dropping down into her chair.

"I sense that you are frustrated Evan," Seboyk commented.

"No shit, what was your first clue." Evyon replied.

"No need to get snappy Evan, I am only trying to help."

"Sorry," Evyon replied with a huff. "Seboyk, I have to talk to you. It's important."

"What it is Evan?"

"Kai has found out about me and is blackmailing me. He wants me to leave the Malcohrs, because he thinks that I am a threat to him being here and wants me to join the Efees." She explained.

"Well that is a problem…" Seboyk said and sighed. "I guess your best bet is to act like a complete jerk to them and then leave."

"Seboyk, I don't want to leave the Malcohrs." She confided in him. "I feel like I am meant to be here," mainly because of the connection between the creature and my heritage. She thought to herself.

"Sorry Evan, but unless you come up with a different idea, this is the best way."

"Okay, thanks Seboyk. I'll do it after Dark Arts, I don't want to deal with awkwardness."

"Good luck," Seboyk said before Vincent and Kio joined them.

"Hey Evan! I saw you talking to Kai today. What was up with that?" Kio asked.

"Why do you care?" Evyon snapped back. "Maybe I want to talk to him. It's not like I was there when this whole rivalry started." She added trying to make them not like her anymore.

"Dude, Evan. Back off, Kio was only joking!" Vincent said standing up for his friend.

"I don't think Kio needs you to stand up for him. Last time I checked it was every guy for himself right?" Evyon snapped before looking down at her books.

Vincent and Kio looked at each other with completely bewildered looks before looking at Seboyk who simply shrugged.

When class was over Vincent and Kio took either side of Evyon and wrapped an arm around her. "What's up with you today Evan?" Kio asked.

"Yeah, you have been acting really strange." Vincent added.

"I guess I have just finally decided that I don't like you guys anymore. How does that sound? I have decided to join the Efees." Evyon snapped.

"You can't just leave the Malcohrs!"

"I can and I have. I can do whatever I want!" Evyon replied shrugging off their arms and the two stopped in the middle of the hallway looking at each other as Evyon continued to walk alone.

Seboyk was simply looking at the ground as he stopped with the others. "Look, we can't help it. If that is what Evan wants to do, then we have to allow that. Give it time, he will probably come back to us anyway. It's not like anyone has ever stayed with the Efees long."
Vincent and Kio agreed before all three continued to Dark Arts and sat down behind Evyon. The entire class period she could feel their eyes boring into the back of her neck. She was getting really frustrated by this, especially since she felt her teacher's eyes watching her most of the time too. Professor Arzhan thought that she was special and this annoyed her. The last thing that she wanted was people thinking she was special.

Someone she hadn't noticed before was in the room with them. It was Cairo from the Efees and he was all alone. She was happy to know that there was someone in her class that she would eventually be able to talk to, but this meant that she couldn't talk to the Malcohrs anymore at all.

Class was ended and she quickly left ignoring everyone around her, she just wanted to get to Potions class because there was no one there that she had to deal with in an awkward way. She entered the class on time today and sat down in the middle only to see Rufio sitting a few rows ahead of her. What is he doing here? She wondered to herself, until their teacher came out.

"I would like to introduce my assistant Rufio. He has been a student of mine for a few years and is exceptionally good in Potions. So if you have any questions that is who you will ask." He explained before continuing on to the rest of class. Today they started an experiment that they were to finish tomorrow and let it sit over night. Unfortunately Evyon was very distracted in class today due to the fact that Rufio was now in her class, but she managed to get as far as the other students before class ended.

When the class had left she saw that Rufio was cleaning up and decided she would go help him. "Need a hand?" She asked and he smiled.

"So back to being nice?" He asked laughing gently. "Sure, you can put the cauldrons away," he said motioning to a cupboard.

Even though Evyon was pretending to be a guy she liked Rufio a lot and since he thought that she was a guy there wasn't the strange awkwardness between them. As they finished cleaning up he thanked her and began to walk out of the class. "Hey Rufio!" She called after him, following him into the hallway.

"Yes Evan?"

"I was wondering if maybe you could help me in Potions, sometime. It's not my best subject, but my parents think I should take it. I might some help getting through this year." Evyon explained.

"Yeah, I can definitely help you, just tell me when you don't understand something and we can get together and talk it over." Rufio agreed before waving good-bye and leaving.

Evyon stood there watching Rufio go and smiling to herself.

"Pathetic," a voice whispered in her ear and a chill ran down her spine again.

"Stop doing that!" Evyon spat as she spun around to face Kai.

"It's not my fault you are falling all over a guy who thinks you are a guy!" Kai said cuffing her on the head.

Evyon glared up at him. "I can still be friendly to him."

"Just, don't try anything else in that disguise." Kai advised and crossed his arms. "So are you officially one of us then?"

"Yeah, I left the Malcohrs, but what about sleeping. I sleep in the same room as them." Evyon explained.

"We'll just move you. The Efees only have us in the room, we keep the extra bunks open for people who decide to join us, so there is plenty of room for you." Kai told her.

"Fantastic," she said sarcastically. Great, now I have to spend even more time with Ramy. She thought before the two headed off to dinner together.

Kai led them to the table where the Efees always sat and told the others that she was one of them now. They sat down and ate, but when Evyon looked up she saw Vincent and Kio glaring at her from the old table.

Great my friends became my enemies and my enemies became my friends. She thought to herself.

"Now I have another task for you to do Evan," Kai said looking over at Toulines. "You are to go to the Toulines soon and ask them to join us. We are going to take out the Malcohrs once and for all."

"Why do you need their help? We have a vampire and a werewolf here, against two wizards and an elf. Do we seriously need the help?" Evyon asked.

"You still don't get it," Ramy started. "I told you earlier that we try and build armies and therefore ganging up with Toulines would give us a larger army than the others and therefore we wouldn't have any competitors."

"Not to mention that would give us enough members to have a Quidditch team and we could start training a year early." Cairo added.

"He talks!" Evyon said surprised. "Wait, what do you mean start a year early?"

"Teams can't play until 2nd year, mainly due to the fact that no one has enough members to play, but since we would have a big enough team this year, we could start practicing and beat all the others next year." Kai explained to her.

"Oh…" Evyon didn't know anything about Quidditch. Her parents had always said it was a dangerous sport and that girls shouldn't play. "Do you already know what positions you play?"

"Keeper," Cairo answered.

"Chaser," Kai and Ramy said together.

"How do you know the Toulines won't play the same positions?" Evyon asked.

"Because we already know their positions. Raoul plays Seeker, while Tony plays a Chaser and Caelhoek plays a Beater, which is what you will play." Ramy answered.

"What's a beater?" Evyon asked.

"We'll explain later, right now we should move your stuff from their room to ours." Kai cut her off and made their way to Evyon's room. She was going to miss Seboyk and the others, but she was determined to make it through the year and if this was only way to do it, then so be it. Grabbing her trunk she placed Equinox on the trunk and opening the door they came face to face with Vincent and Kio. Seboyk wasn't with them, but that was okay with Evyon.

"Traitor," Vincent spat at Evyon as she passed them with her trunk.

"Don't worry, it's not that big a deal," Kai told her after they were out of hearing range. They entered the Efee room and there was Ramy and Cairo waiting for her. They had a bed all ready and Kai placed the trunk there.

"Hey Kai, can I talk to you?" She asked pulling him aside.

"What is it Evan?"

"You haven't told them about me being a girl right?"

"No, just that you are a werewolf." He replied.

"Thanks," she whispered.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to blackmail you anymore." Kai replied with a smirk and walked back over to his bed. "Now go talk to the Toulines."

Evyon glared at him, before disappearing from the room and heading over to the Toulines whom were sitting in the common room. "I need to talk to you."

"And who says we want to talk to you?" Raoul asked standing up.

"I bear a message from the Efees, private?"

Raoul looked at her carefully before nodding and they went into the bedroom of the Toulines. "Now what do you want?"

"Kai has sent me to ask you to join us. We wish to take out the Malcohrs once and for all." Evyon explained.

"Oh really now? You don't sound very for that… and what is with your quick allegiance switch?" Raoul replied with a suspicious look.

"I have decided that the Efees are stronger than the Malcohrs and therefore my allegiance has changed. Are you with us or against us?" She said wanting to end this conversation as soon as possible.

"How do I know you won't go back to the Malcohrs?"

"Why would it matter?!" She snapped. "You would still have six against four. Are you really afraid?"

"I am not afraid! I do not want to be ruled under someone else! You can tell your leader that we will play with him, but we are not one of him."

Evyon rolled her eyes, "whatever!" She said as she turned away only to have Caelhoek punch her in the back of the head and knock her out.

He punched her in the face a few more times, so that she was bleeding before taking her back to the Efee room and dropping her just inside. "I think this is yours," he said with a smirk, before leaving.

Kai got up from his bed and ran over to Evyon. "Oh crap!" He said looking over at Ramy and Cairo. "Do you think it went well?"

"Uh… I'd say no." Cairo said looking at Evyon's bleeding face. "But sometimes Cael just likes to have fun so who knows."

Kai dragged her over to her bed and laid her down before walking back over to his bed. The three fell asleep long before Evyon awoke from being knocked out.

Aching all over made it hard for her to sit up in the darkness and she felt the dried blood on her face. She got up and propping herself, began to walk towards the bathroom, only to collapse on the floor from the dizziness. God this is so not worth it. She thought as she crawled across the ground to the bathroom. She pulled herself up and turned on the shower, letting the cold water soak her in her clothes. All the blood washed from her face and it waked her up a little before she went back into her room and looked over at Kai's bed.

He was sitting on the end staring over at her. "You okay?" He asked in his deep vampire voice.

"I've been better," she said stumbling back over to her bed. Kai got up and helped her up onto her bed.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked her.

"Because I want to prove that I can be just as good as the guys." She told him in a dazed state.

"What do your parents think about this?"

"My parents? God knows, my parents have no idea, because they don't even know me. My fake parents wanted me to go to Beauxbatons. Psh, yeah right." She explained to him.

"Your fake parents?"

"Yeah, I like with this weird couple who I think went to Hogwarts. They wanted me to go to Beauxbatons, but I was like screw that. I am accepted to Durmstrang and I am going."

"So are you using a polyjuice potion?"

"No, I don't even know how to make one." Evyon replied leaning on Kai's shoulder as he sat next to her on the end of the bed.

"So you cut your hair? Or is it naturally like this?"

"No, actually, I have long blonde hair and golden eyes." She said reaching and taking out her contacts and putting them in their case. "See?"

"Wow, those are beautiful." He said seductively.

"Thanks," she said smiling up at him and feeling comfort next to him. "Why are you blackmailing me?"

"Because nothing interesting ever happens in this school and so this is my form of entertainment."

"Wow that's great to know that I am only your entertainment." She thought aloud slightly offended.

"I didn't mean it like that," he said.

"Nah, it's cool." She said with a smile. "What horrid thing are you going to have me do next?"

Kai looked down at her and sighed. "I want to see you like you were before you cut your hair off."

"Huh?" Evyon asked sitting up and looking at him. "What do you mean?"

"Nevermind."

"No, really?"

"No, just drop it."

"Okay whatever you say Kai."

"What's your real name?"

"Evyon," she told him with a gentle smile. "Hey Kai, can I come visit you next summer?"

"Yeah, of course," Kai said starting to feel attracted to Evyon. He admired what she was trying to do and he liked her personality. She fit in like one of the guys rather well and he liked that about her. If only she had gone to Beauxbatons so that I didn't have to hide my feelings for her. "What are you going to do about the ball? Are you really going to want to dance with girls?"

"I don't know. Maybe I will get a wig and go as one of the girls, even though none of them will know me." Evyon said with a smile. "I will think of something, who knows. Maybe I will find a date, although that would be really awkward. What do you think I should do?"

"Well you could go as a girl and be my date…" he whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing," he said wishing he could say it to her.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed, before I pass out on your shoulder." She said draping the curtains and looking at him. "Are you going to get off my bed or watch me change?"

"I'll go," he said with a smile and went back to bed allowing her to change and go to sleep. He's so cute, but I really want to go with Rufio to the dance… what am I going to do?
