Stellacisem: This is the second chapter of 'the daughter of night'! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)

Chapter Two: Kalona rushes in!

This was my first day at 'school', if you called it a school. I mean, in a school, do you learn how the way it goes for a vampire while sucking the blood of your victim with some special feelings and this and that?…

No, I'm not crazy. Yes, I'm annoyed. Last night I had some kind of a dream but I don't remember how it was. But I just know that it was about Kalona. Yeah, I know the people and other creatures. My roommate Aphrodite just told me about those things already. Girl, isn't she annoying! She just randomly smirks out of blue when I talk and she interrupts my talk and she dares to speak! Grr, she just annoys me sooo much! But I can calm myself down pretty quickly though, so it is not a big problem.

"You are going to be late." Aphrodite smirked as my eyebrow twitched.

"So are you." I said with a calm voice.

"I'm not coming" she replied as her face grew serious. "I have things I need to do."

"What things? Like manicure?" I said as I smirked.

"No duh. It's about Neferet and Kalona and Zoey. Again."

"Can I ask you something?" I said a little bit shyly.

"What's it? You better make it quick."

"Is it true that you can use your medium-like powers?"

"They are not medium-like powers, but yeah, if you mean the thing I did back at the island."

"Can you use it on me?"

"Huh? Why should I?"

"I don't know why but my back started to get itchy after I get my mark. And I really am hoping that you could do me a favor and ask Nyx about it and my mark. I couldn't talk to her after that time."

"You talked to Nyx? How?" Aphrodite looked shocked as I told her about it. "I see," she said after that "So Nyx talked to you… That means you are special for her."

"Really?" I said sarcastically. "And I was wondering why she marked me differently from the others. I really feel like an idiot when I look at the mirror."

"You're just like Zoey." Aphrodite said as she sighed. "Getting a different mark means you're special, not an idiot. Uh, but for me, I guess you were an idiot even before being marked."

"I take that as a compliment." I said sarcastically. After I looked at the watch, I bid a 'see you later (not) and don't forget to use your medium -like powers on me (just in case you forget, BLONDIE)' to Aphrodite (N/A: don't get me wrong, I don't hate blondes and not all of them are stupid, but I couldn't find another insult.)and went towards Room 218. "Just in time.." I mumbled.

"Welcome, Diana." Said Professor Natasha, who is also my mentor. Men, these things are hard.

After that, Professor Natasha made me sit down near a boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes. "Yo," he said to me after turning around to see me. "I'm Cerberus. Nice to meet you." Then he lowered her voice. "By the way why is your mark silver and upside down?"

"Ask that to Nyx." I said with a bored look. "Anyways, I guess it's nice to meet you too."

"What affinity do you have? It must be special for you to enroll to this class."

"Special?" I asked puzzled.

"Yes. You see, everyone can have an affinity but only a few have special abilities. For example; I can talk with animals and I'm training to control some of them. The girl with the black hair that is currently studying with Professor Natasha is Ashley. She can hold tons of things and toss them into air like they are coins. But she can't catch it, yet. The other girl who apparently is blond and wears glasses is called Cristiana and she can control magma and you know, magma doesn't hurt her a bit!" but then lowered his voice as he was giving a secret. "But she is scared of water." Then continued normally." The twins back there are Kim and Tim and their life is all about music, even their affinities!" Then he lowered his voice again. "But I think that Tim is a better guitar player than Kim." He continued normally, again. "Then the parrot right above us is the only animal I never could and never will control because it is actually another fledgling. His name is Johnny and his ability is shape shifting, if he tries harder and listens to Professor Natasha, it can be anything! Anything living, that is."

After a silence, I asked. "Who is the girl behind the cartoon boxes?"

"Who? I can't see anybody." but I stayed still so he continued. "Maybe it's you hallucinating. After all, you must be still tired from both your new life as a fledgling and being Aphrodite's roommate. I'm really sorry for you, the girl can be a really smart-ass."

"Yeah…" I said, lost in thought. 'But I'm sure that I saw a girl right behind the boxes. It was not me hallucinating and I'm not tired, not at all.'

Then where was she now?

"Hey, Professor Natasha is training me next."

"I guess I'll see you later." I said. "I'm going to go for a walk."

"Sure. See ya!"

Then he went near Professor Natasha and started to talk with her about god knows what…

"I'm sooo confused." I mumbled as I got up and walk towards the door.

"Psst!"

"Huh?" I turned around, but didn't see anyone 'psst'ing or whatever. "Maybe I'm tired…"

I walked out of the class. Then I opened the pocket map Professor Natasha gave me. "I guess I'll go out then… Maybe I should head to the Rec Hall? It's better than nothing…" I was still walking and randomly eavesdropping doors when I heard another 'psst'.

"I'm right here!" said the voice. I couldn't tell if it belonged to a girl or not, because it was whispering.

I turned around to see the owner of the voice. It was a girl. But not just any normal girl, she had flame red hair to her chest and grass green eyes.

"Who are you?" I said, confused. Again.

"I'm Shana. Half Japanese, half American. And I have the invisibility ability."

"Okay, that makes it easier for me…" at least, I was not hallucinating. "So, why are you calling me?"

"How can you see me?" she asked back. "I'm still invisible."

"Are you?" I asked. She must have made some kind of a mistake. "Then how do I see you?"

"That's what I'm asking." She spat back. She looked annoyed. But I was more annoyed in the inside.

"You're wasting my time." I said to her. "If you don't have anything to do, just go play hide and seek with the others. I'm sure they will not find you." Then I passed her and headed for the Field House.

I might have said it a bit harsh, but she damn thought I was an idiot! How can people see you when you're invisible? The answer: They can't. So just stop playing with me. Time waits for no people nor vampire.

When I reached to the Rec Hall, the first thing I noticed was blood. Blood was everywhere. Then came the shouts, the screams… The terror was getting bigger, there were so many people but only a few of them alive. And they were trying to fight back some incredible fire. Fire… I hated fire and it scared me. 'Why am I afraid of fire this much? I mean, I never got near a fire, so why?' I was thinking fastly.

Then I blinked for a few times. The fire was gone; there were no traces of blood and no one to scream. Was I…Hallucinating?

"So you are afraid of fire?" asked a voice. It belonged to a man, that was for sure. When I saw him, my heart stopped. Because it could be only one man. It was Kalona, "the dark-winged superman". As Aphrodite said, he looked very muscular indeed. But he didn't look that much handsome. Even when he had no shirt on, he's still not as handsome as… I stopped. As handsome as who? I knew the answer, but I was not able to bring it forth. So I just shake those thoughts off and stared at the man in front of me, eyes full of an unknown rage.

"Oh someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed today." He said smirking. "I guess you can't see my beauty because of your sleepiness. You know that I can make you feel sleepless and even more alive, don't you?" he said as he was walking towards me. I stared blankly at him before I got what he meant.

"Get away from me!" I shouted as I started to walk backwards, still glaring at him.

"Oh, shout as much as you want, but no one can hear you. Did you think that I didn't know you would have shouted when I said that?" he shook his head. "I put a sound barrier around us, so no one can hear us." He smirked again. I looked around to see what I could do. I saw nothing but the ground and the trees. And the Rec Hall… I only had one chance to get out of this and it was not going to be easy. Maybe I had none at all. 'I can't stop yet! So I better make it quick, before he realizes what I'm trying to do.'

I ran towards the Rec Hall before he could react. 'Please, please let there be something to help me... Anything!.' I prayed deep to no one in particular. This religion thing was messed up for me. But I guessed my prayers had gone to Nyx. Or maybe it is because I was going in the Rec Hall. Who knows?

'My child, we meet again' Nyx said sweetly in my mind as I got inside.

'Hurry, please! Help me. I don't want to be Kalona's slave. Do something!' I was panicking.

'I would like to help but only you can stop him. Don't you understand what your ability is?'

'Huh?' I came to a halt. I had an ability?

'You have the nullification ability. Now, use it wisely.' Then her presence vanished from my mind.

Stellacisem: So this is the second chapter and Kalona's already in action! O.O please tell me if I seem to rash and fast. I just have so many things on my mind and I can't help it. *sigh* so ,you there, please review. It would be a life-saver for me right now.
