Chapter 2
Elsa showed me to my room which was in one of the girls dorms. My room was amazing it was medium sized with neutral colour carpet and walls which I was told I could customise and decorate, in the room was everything I needed and wanted there was even a laptop and television. The closet had all the clothes I needed. It also had an en suite bathroom. Elsa told me the room was based on what the 'watchers' had picked up throughout my life, yes the one I didn't even remember. I made a mental note to research the 'watchers' after I had found something to eat. Picking up on this Elsa offered to show me around.
The school was huge and everyone here was exceptionally beautiful, inhumanly beautiful. You could tell how close they were to fully changing as their features must change over time and some looked more human than others if that was possible. This was another thing I picked up on, my features, although I couldn't remember what I looked like before I seemed to have changed already. Great I was starting at a new school and I was already a freak, or maybe this happened to other people and I wasn't alone. We reached the dining hall which was huge and decorated elaborately but was very welcoming and had a calming effect on me. Elsa showed me where everything was and told me to grab as much as I wanted. I took a bit of everything as it all looked good and I was starving and then found an empty table to sit at.
Just as I was about to eat two girls joined me. They were looking at me curiously and then one of them found the courage to talk. "How long have you been here, you look close to fully changing?" well at least she got straight to the point. "I'm new, just got here today actually" I didn't mean for it to sound bitchy but I managed it all the same. The girl looked taken aback by my harshness, the one who had spoken had pretty hazel eyes and curly blonde hair and seemed to be at the beginning of the change. "Sorry, I just can't seem to grasp the whole vampire thing" I said trying to make up for being rude. "We all know what its like to be new here, don't worry you will fit in soon enough". The other girl spoke up she had deep red hair and amazing green eyes, she also appeared to be at the beginning of the change. They were the same height which I would guess was roughly five foot seven inches.
I had another one of those feelings, but this time it was a good one. I felt these two girls could possibly be the best friends I have ever had. Still it didn't make this situation any better. During the rest of dinner I made small talk with the two girls just to be polite. Then we walked back to the girls dorms together, and as it turned out they were both in the same dorm as me and had rooms opposite mine. I found out there were different dorms for different stages of the change and the one I was in was for the new vampires and would progress as we grew. This made me feel slightly better as everyone was fairly new and hadn't been here for more than a month.
The dorm itself was really cool as downstairs there was a lounge type room full of televisions, stereos and really comfy looking sofas and chairs, there was also a study which had computers and a few books in, a kitchen which looked like it was never used and a dining room which also looked fairly new and unused. I guess everyone eats at the dining hall together instead. There were then two more floors which had bedrooms for all the new female vampires. Everyone had a separate bedroom at the school which was great for me as I really couldn't face sharing right now.
I went to my room and decided to have a look around and see what I had. I found a sketchbook in one of my desk drawers and decided to try and focus on something I had seen today and draw it, well I had no memories of my own to draw. I decided I would try and draw the two girls I had met at dinner, me being me I forgot to even ask them for their names. I focused on them and began to draw, before I new it the picture was finished and it was breathtaking. The two girls seemed lifelike and were the perfect replica of the image in my mind. I was pleased I had found something I could do and decided I would draw another picture.
Before I had even thought of what to draw there was a knock on my door. "Come in" I tried to make my voice sound normal but the interest in it was spilling out. It was Elsa, she had a piece of paper in her hand which she began to explain to me was my new timetable. These people expect me to start school tomorrow, I haven't even had chance to settle in and get my bearings yet. Elsa could see the look on my face and said she would come and meet me and take me to my first lesson if I wanted her to. I kindly refused, not only was I new but I didn't want to be stared at on my first day at this school. Then I noticed Elsa had a Parrot with her. "Why do you have a parrot?" for the second time today I sounded rude and slightly stupid. Elsa didn't seem to mind she merely said "go to your lessons and you shall find out". Great another mystery to solve, I swear I hadn't got one proper answer out of the people, sorry vampires here.
I decided to give up on drawing as I had now lost interest in it and picked up my timetable instead. We had five lessons a day which start at nine am and finish at four thirty five pm. Well it was obviously a myth that vampires were effected by sunlight as least I had one thing straight.
The lessons I had tomorrow were:
9.00 – 10.15 Vampire history
10.20 -11.35 Art
11.35 – 12.35 Lunch
12.40 – 1.55 Vampire law
2.00 – 3.15 Vampire life
3.20 – 4.35 P.E.
I stared at the timetable and hoped it wasn't going to be like a bad boarding school. Then I decided I had done far too much for one day and went to bed.
Please, please review i would like to know your thoughts, thanks for reading!
