A young man with a honey complexion and curly black hair, dressed in a fully black suit with a red tie waited impatiently in a chair. His leg bobbed up and down as his eyes darted between a door in front of him and his phone's clock. He whispered under his breath psyching himself up in spanish.
After 3 anxious minutes the door cracked open and he darted up. Through the door came a young woman in a similar black suit, although this one has a white brim on the neck, who looked like she'd been put through hell. The whites of her eyes were red and held back tears, she had dark veins under her eyes, her nose and ears bled, and she has some scarring around her mouth.
"Good luck Lawrence..." she said in a nasally voice
"Yeah, Thanks Jess!" he excitedly replied
Jess continued down the hall as Lawrence stepped in. Inside the room stood an orb floating with a runic circle beneath it, behind it stood an old man in a brown robe. Lawrence walked up to the orb and placed his hand above it.
"Think today's the day?" He asked
The elder simply looked at the orb and wrapped his hands around the bottom with a device in each hand. The orb started glowing in an orange light, which quickly faded, then a light blue, and a red light. Finally a lime green light appeared and it floated up to his hand, seemingly traveling through his veins up to his head.
Lawrence knew what this meant, he finally got his rank. This would be exciting but he forgot what lime green meant.
"So... lime green, eh Grant?" Lawrence sheepishly said
"Shifter" Grant coldly declared
"Right, yeah" he said with little confidence
Two men in fully white suits took Lawrence outside and handed him a new jacket, it had the white stripe in the collar. The place he was escorted to was a dorm divided in two, one side had been lived in and the other was neatly organized. The side he was placed on had a bed, a desk with drawers and a chair, and a dresser, there was a door that he was told led to a bathroom before the two men left him alone. a few minutes later a young woman came in, she had straight brunette hair, a fair complexion and was wearing a suit similar to Lawrence's but she had no tie. Lawrence took a seat in the bed after placing his suit's jacket in the office chair.
"Larence, shifter" he introduced himself while extending his hand
"Emma, vamp" she replied shaking his hand quickly before heading to her side of the dorm.
her side had some rock band posters and a calendar which was filled to the brim with markings and reminders, also she had art supplies spread throughout her desk. after she placed a notepad she kept I'm her pocket in a desk drawer she marked the calendar with a skull adorned with curly hair seven days in front of the current date.
"You whink you'll last past this point?" She coldly asked
"hopefully" he quickly replied
Emma approached his bed and forcibly grabbed his arm, pulling up his sleeve after she unbuttoned it while looking at him in his dark brown eyes.
"Red makes me hungry, don't wear the tie" She said before biting down on Larence's wrist, his blood flowing into her mouth.
