You can touch the sky but you ain't got shit on me,cause I'm on top of the world
The class soon ended and the next teacher took over. I drowned out his voice though and didn't bother to look at whoever it was that was teaching,heck, I didn't even know what he was teaching.
The only thing my mind could think of was how to join the elites.
If it was an exam which it probably was,how would I do it because from what I've gathered and discovered in the lessons that have just gone by is that I don't understand whatever it is that is being taught.
After scheming and thinking,the perfect idea came to me.
Hack their system
But who would be stupid enough to help me achieve this. I definitely couldn't count on Solaria because she's just her so the next person that came to my mind was obviously the meek looking Amalia.
I know ,it would be mean of me to use someone for my selfish gains but this is a cruel and selfish world we live in.
It's a cruel and selfish world we live in.
Suddenly,three males who seemed to look like guards walked right towards me.
I expected them to walk away because I for one hadn't done anything wrong...yet,but they stopped Infront of me all seemingly alert as if I was some dangerous threat
"Mis Solace,kindly report to the dean's office"
"And why in earth would I do that?"
"We just follow orders miss and we've been instructed to escort you to the dean's office "
"Do you always accompany students like this to your precious dean's office? Gosh ,you're making it look as if I'm some one dangerous "I joked
"Make our work easier miss and cooperate with us please "
I didn't like this and something within me told me that after this so called visit ,things would change.
Things would change so drastically that I wouldn't be able to cope. That everything I had once known will become meaningless.
That I would loose myself to a point that I'd rather burn in hell than spend another day breathing in this God forsaken world.
The saddest part of it all was that,this feeling that I always felt in my gut was never wrong.
What did I expect anyways. I was supposed to die days ago.
"Fine then. Take me to your leader"
The walk to the dean's office made me realize something. Something sad but not out of the ordinary .
I'm about to be used again.
"We're here miss ,please walk in"
Maybe I was overthinking things. Maybe my gut was wrong.
I gave the guards a brief nod before walking into the office.
Here goes nothing.
As soon as I walked into the office I felt an oppressive force that made my head hurt and my breath hitch for a second.
I couldn't stop myself from shivering and feeling cold chills all over my skin.
Something was terrible wrong . Fuck what did I get myself into
"Welcome Solace, we've been expecting you for a very long time"A male whose voice held a certain coldness suddenly spoke .
This startled me a bit but I managed to get a hold of myself.
Calm.
I had to stay calm otherwise this being would be able to catch on to my weakness and use it against me.
"You must be the dean guy" I smiled which made his cold expression falter a bit"
He probably expected me to start a mini riot and start yelling at him.
"Please ,take a seat,we have a lot to discuss"
"Don't mind if I do then"
Calm.
Remain calm
"So how has your stay in this facility been so far?"
"It's been soo good that it makes me want to get the hell out of hers and not come back. Sir"
"Quite a sharp tongue you've got there miss "
"Why thank you, I got this from all my experiences with people like you"
"Feisty, that's one trait that this institution will put an effort to destroy"he frowned
"I see that there's no point in keeping the cat in the bag any longer huh"
"And she's smart too,maybe this won't be such a big mistake after all"
"Cut straight to the chase and tell me what you want from me and how the fuck I got into this place. You're little minions did a poor job by the way and if you want to continue breathing by the time I'm through then you better start talking"
"I am your superior and I demand respect!"
"So many people have told me that and trust me it never ends well"
"So impolite "
"Start talking!" I gritted my teeth and balled my fists
"Fine then. What is it that you want to know?"
"Where am I?"
"The light academy,I'm sure you've been informed "
"You know exactly what I mean old man don't twist it"
"The border of the end of the land on earth"
"I was supposed to burn to death a few days ago,how did you manage to save me"
"I myself ask the same question as well".
"Lastly,what do you want from me ,I'm just a normal teenage girl undergoing puberty and lot of changes ,I want to go home and see my mommy "
Act dumb. Maybe he would fall for it
"You and I both know that you are far from being a normal teenage girl Solace so let's not pretend here"
"What do you mean by that? Of course I'm normal "
"If being in constant contact with shadows,walking in and out of hell, leading souls into damnation and having a personal relationship with death itself is normal then I don't know what normal is"
That startled me. He knew too much. He knew too much and I didn't like it at all
"How did you know all this?"
"We've been watching you from the day you came into existence Solace. You were an abomination that shouldn't have lived on earth for even a single day"
"Then why didn't you get rid of me if I was such an abomination "
"Now that's an easy question,you were marked by the shadows and death itself protected you. Trust me child, many have tried to end your miserable life countless number of times but the results were always the same. It was they that would end up dead,so imagine the shock we received when you were personally brought by his grace to this institution "
"So let me guess,I'm a ticking time bomb and y'all just can't wait to throw me out"
"Quite the contrary,we want to come to an agreement with you"..
"Whatever it is that you want I'm not doing it,find someone else to do your bidding"
"You didn't even let me speak Solace "
"That's because there nothing you can offer me so I suggest for the safety of everyone,let me go"
"You cannot leave ! "
"You know that I could decide and kill all of you then get my freedom"
"Silly child,you have no power to do so at least not in this place"
"What do you mean by that"
"Your shadows have no way of entering this place. Not even death can penetrate through these walls".
