*A.N – yet again – I apologize for the size of the chapter – but good news! – aexams finsh on Wednesday which means long chapters!!!!! Stick with me guys xxx && review coz it makes me feel loved ;)*

A confused look passed over her eyes before she began to speek again, "Neferet then, I am so hapy to see you awake, we have been quite worried about you."

"Thank you for taking care of me, but where am I and if you don't mind me asking, who are you."

She smiled, "You are in the Chicago house of night, I am Shekinah, the high priestess here."

"So I really am a fledgling then," I beamed.

"Yes, Em – Neferet, and if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to be called Neferet?"

"Because the godess told me that was my new name," I said simply.

She gasped in surprise when I spoke the words, her face then changing into a breathtaking smile. "I knew you were special, you had to be, something deep within me gave me that feeling, and when I have feelings it usually has something to do with the godess," her eyes gleamed as she spoke of her beloved godess, my beloved godess, "Nyx is the best thing that ever happend to me, she'll be the best thing that ever happend to you."

"I want to learn, I want to become faithful and obedient servant I can become, I'm already so undeserving of her blessings, I will try my hardest to pay off my debt to her, she has saved me from death itself, and she has opened her arms to a broken, scared girl, I owe her so much."

Tears filled Shekinah's eyes again. "No-one on this living earth is truly deserving of the gifts from Nyx, it's a sign of true wisdom when someone so young, who has been through so much can see clearer than those more older and mature around them, there is one thing I know for sure Neferet, the godess is already tremendously proud of you, in the past few minutes, you have shown worthiness higher than some vampires I know, I am truly proud to welcome you to Chicago house of night, and even prouder to tell you that I will be your mentor."

A sudden thought brought me down from my cloud nine, "What about my father, he'll try to get me back, he'll ruin everything,"a great sadness crashed through me, I didn't think I would ever be so happy at the idea of becoming a vampire, but the thought was projecting true happiness into the cold depths of my heart, I had never known the love of a mother or father, and now I so wuickly had bothe Nyx and Shekinah. I couldn't lose that.

Her body tensed as she spoke, "I will never, let him touch you again, you are safe now, trust me."

Relief surged through me, I believed her, I would be able to start my life over again, in many more ways than I had expected.

"As I am your mentor, I will construct your time table, you can read and write can't you?"

My grandmother had forced my father to send me to school until the war started between Germany and Britain, my father being a general, was sent over to England to help the British forces, it had just finished two years ago, meaning he was free to come back and start up the sessions again, I shuddered at the thought and shekinah snuck her arm around me, holding me tight to her, as I began to cry again, it was quite uncalled for, but even the memories and thoughts of him set me of, it just hurt to think he was still out their and may be turning his attention on others. The was nothing I could do about it.

"Im – just – so – scared – he'll – hurt – someone – else," I sobbed.

"I can't promise you that he won't Neferet," her voice lowered into an almost growl, "I can only promise that he will never hurt you."

"Yes then," she looked at me confused, "I can read and write, I'm sorry, I just can't get the picture of him away from my head, he made me feel so dirty, now I feel as if I am slowly being cleansed with Nyx's goodness, Is there any chance I can go back to sleep," I said as a rush of pain thumped into my head, "my head hurts again," I reached my hands upwards to find the cut and found something completely surprising. "How long was I asleep for?"

"Two days."

"Well my head is healed to the extent where I would say it had happend a few weeks ago," I t was so weird, it already felt like a scab that was about to fall of.

"Fledglings heal faster than humans, it should be gone in a few days, completelgoodness, Is there any chance I can go back to sleep," I said as a rush of pain thumped into my head, "my head hurts again," I reached my hands upwards to find the cut and found something completely surprising. "How long was I asleep for?"

"2 days."

"Well my head is healed to the extent where I would say it had happend a few weeks ago," I t was so weird, it already felt like a scab that was about to fall of.

"Fledglings heal faster than humans, it should be gone in a few days, completly," he face brightened when she spoke again, "would you like to see your mark, it looks stunning."

I had totally forgotten about the mark, actual proof the gadess was with me, "Please."

She handed me a small, ornate, silver mirror.

My breathing faltered as I saw the best thing ever to happen to me, it was beautiful, how I ever thought vampires marks were horrible I don't know, only one thing was wrong, it wasn't filled in.

"What – What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing," she soothed, " it's perfect."

No it isn't, "It's different from yours."

She smiled at that the proceeded to tell me that it would fill in when I became a vampire.

Ohhhhhh, thank goodness, I really wasn't going to be the odd one out here.

"Would you like to go and see your dormitory, there may be your dorm mates there, are you okay staying with other girls, you usually have three other girls in your dormitory."

"Yes, I'm fine with that, and I'd really like to go and see my dorm thanks."

When we reached the dormitiry which was mine, we had already discussed my timetable and I would have drama 1st, grammar and literture 2nd, musical arts 3rd, maths 4th, vampire sociology and phscology 5th, French 6th.

She pushed open a wooden, thick door, I felt like I was in one of the books about boarding schools that I'd read before, except it was dark, and lit by candles in little glass boxs in the red brick walls.

Inside, four single bed, covered in red bedding were in their own little cubicle things, they had curtains pulled into one side and were joined to a little wooden bar which went in a king of U shape around the bed (the curtains would be able to pull around the bed), I didn't think I had seen anyone, then a girl walked out of a door at the back of the room, her hair was a strawberry blonde, and dat in ringlets down to her bottom, her lips were a pouting rasberry red, eyes a crystal blue and little black studs resided on her ears, she wore a thick purple dress which had sleeves down to her elbows, it puffed a little at the top, and was sleek down the bottom half of her body, she was beautiful, not in a wrong way, but a very pretty girl, nothing like me.

"Hello Ruth," Shekinah smiled her Nyxy smile and began to introduce us.

*A.N – What do yhoo think
Shekinah was her mentor && schools high priestess (remember Zoey's house of Night is new)
They used to have dormitories in my mind
They wore dresses all the time in the 1910's
They all had long hair anyway for girls
&& they were very anti vampire
