School of the damned
Chapter 4
The hallway was dark and dingy as Elena was escorted into a white room. A machine that reminded her of an MRI machine was in the middle along with some needles and a bed with straps on it in a glass case. It reminded her of a twisted version of Snow White.
"Let me explain what we do here. First off I'm Suzanne and I take all the newbies through testing. There are two types of testing here. First off this baby right here tests your body for abnormalities. Then if you pass that test we'll draw your blood and see what you are.."
"What's the case for?"
"That's what we use if a person if they're just human. If an abnormality is only one percent we drain the human of it, Erase their memory of this place, drug them, and send them back to where they came from."
"Oh."
Suzanne shrugged and helped her onto the machine. She laid down and closed her eyes. At least they didn't do anything too horrible to humans. It only felt like a second when she got pulled out. Well here came the slight pain.
"It looks like you have a twenty five percent abnormality."
"Is that a good or a bad thing?"
"It's both. It means we can't send you back. Normal immortals are thirty five to one hundred percent, but the average human can only exceed it to ten percent. We'll have to draw some blood and see what Ester wants to do."
Elena made her way to the chair and waited patiently as Suzanne drew her blood. She dabbed it with an alcohol pad and wrapped it in gauze before they left to go to Ester's office.
When they arrived, Elena shook Ester's hand.
"Sit down child and don't be afraid"
Elena sat in an unaccompanied chair as Suzanne handed her the file and left. Ester opened it and read it thoroughly.
"So you're twenty five percent. That usually doesn't come out that high unless you're some form of immortal, but the lowest you can get is a thirty."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you will not be with the humans who do baby tricks or the greater immortals who will do things that you can't possibly do. You'll be with what we call the in-betweens."
"What are they exactly?"
"They're what occur when a higher immortal has sex with a human."
"So they're like the half-bloods."
"Not exactly. Half-bloods are usually at fifty percent, but they can make In-Betweens. The only two who can't are demons and angels. They produce half-bloods."
Elena nodded and Ester typed away on her computer while handing Elena a set of keys. Elena shoved them into her pocket.
"You'll have no real classes today, but I'll expect you to start tomorrow in room 112. They teach in-betweens for four hours a day than you guys break for lunch before heading back to the room and being taught by the higher immortals. Here's your room number and we have three different uniforms which will be sent to your room tonight"
Darcy nodded as she took her room number.
"Now off you go."
Elena nodded and got the hell out of the room.
