Ch.2: RedBloods versus BlueBloods
Maybe it was all a dream? I rubbed my forehead furiously where a throbbing pain erupted. The tattoo. I staggered off the bed and stared into the nearest mirror. Sure enough, the intricate sapphire crescent moon marked my forehead. I wasn't dreaming…it really happened. The memories flooded into my head. Talking in the hallway after school with Lisa, the vampire tracker, James and Victoria, jumping out of my window.
I stared down at my left leg. My ankle was neatly wrapped with an all too familiar looking gauze cast….It's not like I've never had one before. Glancing around the room I could see that I was in a clinic…but where?
The door to the right squeaked like nails on a chalkboard as it opened swiftly. A kind, very pale looking woman wearing a nurse uniform walked in. She wore her sandy brown curls loosely falling all around her face. She was followed by another pale, but beautiful woman. She wore a black silk top that flowed out flatteringly at the waist, along with a black pencil skirt and black peep-toe heels. Her white-blonde hair unlike the nurse was pulled back elegantly into a low ponytail.
"Hello deary" the nurse smiled cheerfully as she walked over to the side wall examining xrays...probably of my leg.
"Hi" I mumbled shyly
"Hello Isabella" the regal looking woman stated "My name is Clarissa, high priestess of the goddess Nyx, and also your mentor here at The House of Night." She finished with a wide smile. So I did make it.
"Cool" I mumbled…Cool? I must sound like an idiot...I mean, who would say 'cool'?
"You took quite a nasty fall there" the nurse pointed to the x-ray. "Thank the goddess that you managed to escape with nothing more than a sprained ankle" she shook her head "You have some scratches and a few bruises as well...but nothing permanent"
That's good to know….but how did I get here? Clarrissa must have noticed my confused expression.
"You managed to reach the gates when you passed out. We had you brought to the infirmary immediately."… "You're leg will heal sooner than the normal fledgling I believe" she paused… "You have quite an extraordinary tattoo Isabella"
"Bella, please" I added quietly
"Bella, you see…you're tattoo is quite rare, the crescent moon is almost filled, where as the average first former has mere outlines." She continued… "As a first former you should have faint outlines, but your is almost complete. The goddess believes you are special Bella, you are a very special fledgling." Her eyes shone brightly
Ok, I was just getting used to the idea that I would turn into a fre-vampire…but now I find out that I'm going to turn into a special vampire?! It just keeps on getting better.
As we walked down the hallways she began explaining. "Here at the night of house there are 4 forms, in what humans would refer to as grades. They are 1st form 2nd 3rd and 4th form. 1st form would be the equivalent to what humans call 'freshmen year' in their schooling." We exited the hallway and entered what looked to be the main court yard. I felt the room silence as we entered. As we passed everyone bowed to Clarrisa as a sign of respect. Strange. The students stared in shock at me...more like my tattoo. God…you know it's not polite to stare! I felt self conscious as a trail of eyes followed my every step.
All the students wore the same uniform, although some added and embellished theirs. But what caught my attention were the two different versions of the school crest on their pockets. They all shared the same logo, the crescent moon on a coat of arms. But half the student's logos were stitched in a royal, navy blue, and the others, a dark shade of blood red. Ironic. Clarrissa watched me closely as I compared the two.
"At The House of Night, students are divided into two houses. One The House of BlueBloods…and the other The House of RedBloods." To become a vampire one must either be chosen or born from vampire parents. In some rare cases one vampire parent and one human parent."
"I thought vampire couldn't have children" I blurted stupidly
She laughed as if she had expected the question. "That is the common myth, but it is possible…you are proof of that" she said the last part sadly
"W-what!?" I stammered. That couldn't be possible. My father was the chief of police and my mother was a nurse. They died in a car crash…they couldn't have been vampires.
"I see your confusion Bella; your parents were vampires…2 of the strongest."… "They were killed by vampire hunters" her voice filled with remorse and hatred.
We continued to walk in silence, my mind racing with hundreds of unanswered questions.
"The RedBloods believe that true vampires can only be born, not made…The BlueBloods believe differently. RedBloods also believe in drinking human blood, rather than animal blood." She paused "All fledglings in the House of RedBloods are of vampire decent. Fledglings in the house of BlueBloods are both chosen and vampire decent."
We walked down a long pathway surrounded by lush, green pine trees leading to more old mansion-like buildings. It was probably just after sunset; the sky had a reddish tint.
"When a vampire child turns 16, they are marked by their parents in an initiation ceremony, but in your case…a tracker. But there is no doubt…you are 100 vampire."
We stopped in front of another old, and elegant looking building. Unlike the others it was much larger. "This…is The House of BlueBloods" she motioned to the building with her arm… "This is where you will be living" she smiled.
I surveyed the building. It was at least 12 stories. The door was vast and broad with a high arch.
"How did you know which House I belonged to?" I asked curiously while staring at the mansion.
"I could sense your aura?" she said simply. That's kinda creepy.
"Here is your room card, you have too other roommates, 1st formers as well. You will find your belongings already there. I will be in touch" she smiled before walking away, leaving me in the huge doorway.
I stepped inside and felt my mouth drop in awe. The room looked nothing like I had imagined. In the center of the room were big plush couches and brightly colored bean bags. In another corner there were rows of TV's, stereos, and game systems. There was a HUGE snack bar, stocked with everything you could imagine from protein bars, Doritos, Twizzler's and Wheat Thins. The shelves were staked with books and magazines ranging from Cosmo Girl, PC Gamer, Jane Eyre, to The Host, and Lord of The Rings and Star Wars.
Kids were spread all over. The guys were mostly at the x box and snack bar…of course. While most of the girls were sitting on the couches gossiping or 'reading' Seventeen and casually watching America's Next Top Model.
I finally made my way over to the elevator...thankful for the brilliant inventor of elevators. That would have sucked to walk up and down the stairs every day! I punched the number 6, waiting for the doors to slowly close. Thankfully there was no cheap elevator music. Just as the doors were about to close, a pale, strong looking hand held it open. I looked up at the strangers face.
I felt my breath hitch as I stared. He was beautiful, a god on earth. He had a unique shade of bronze hair that was messy all over, as if he had just gotten out of bed, it looked perfect. His eyes were a deep emerald color that seemed to be looking me up and down. Like his hands his face was just as pale. He had a strong masculine jaw line, and perfectly chiseled features. Even though he wore the same uniforms as everyone else, he somehow made his look like it had just come off the runway from some expensive designer.
He grinned as he stepped in and pressed 7. The elevator slowly lifted as we stood in silence.
"Fresh meat" I heard him say to himself in a sly, but velvet sounding voice. Great…one of those type of guys I sighed to myself.
I watched the light hit every number as we rose higher and higher. 3…..4….5……6.
"Bing" the elevator sounded as it came to a sudden stop.
Just as I began to walk out I felt a hand grab my ass…Did he just grab my ass!! I yelled to myself. I turned around immediately to glare at him as he smirked, obviously pleased with himself.
"How dare you!" I yelled. Ughh! This guy is practically begging for me to punch him!...ok Bella…just stay calm…don't punch him…he's not even worth it...
"Oooh…A feisty one" he grinned slyly. "I do love a challenge" he whispered dangerously into my ear. That's it. He's worth it!
Before he could say anything else I brought my hand to his face and punched him. I walked-no...more like wobble out of the elevator...thanks to my stupid cast. Just as the elevator began to close I turned around and smirked…
"Good…so do I" I smiled seductively. Within seconds his face contorted with shock…then hatred as the doors closed.
"Ok…651…652...654…ah hah 655" I mumbled to myself as I approached my room, unlocking the door. I heard high pitched squeals as a short figure attacked me…with hugs.
"YAY!!" (more squeals) "You're finally here!" the short pixie like girl squealed...again. She was at least 5'2, with short, spiky, black hair. Like everyone else she was pale, and like me she was also petite. She had hazel eyes that shone bright with excitement.
"I'm Alice, one of your new roommates" she smiled brightly... "Rose!" she screamed … "ROSE!! Our new roommate is here!"
In walked a beautiful looking blonde. She looked like she belonged on the cover of Vogue. Like Alice she was also pale, she had long wavy golden blonde hair, and a perfect figure. Her eyes were a crystal clear aqua blue.
"Hey, I'm Rosalie, but you can call me Rose." She smiled warmly making all feelings of intimidation melt instantly.
"I'm Isabella...but I prefer Bella" I smile at my two new roommates. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
