Athena POV
"We're here" Matthew says as he pulled in front of a massive black metal gate with a massive fencing around an even more massive castle. "This...is a school?" I asked him. "Yes, The head master is a friend of mine" Matthew informed me. "You have friends?" I arched a brow upwards. "I can't picture it" I shook my head. I noticed it was daylight out side and other people were walking around with black umbrellas. "So, What you all just sleep during the day and.." He cut me off. "Classes are at night, yes" He nodded as we begin pulling into the long driveway after the gates had let us in. We get to the front entrance and I see the grand set of wooden doors. Matthew gets out two umbrellas before handing me on and opening his up as he climb out of the car. I followed him out of the car and opening up my umbrella. "So, you said turning human is forbidden. Then how'd you become a vampire?" I asked him. "I chose to" He simply tells me as we entered into the castle. "Why would anyone want to become such a thing?" I groaned. Matthew let's out a scoff, shaking his head. "I know you haven't been a vampire for very long but it isn't just about killing and draining humans of their blood" He stated as I followed him down a long hall and through the empty school. "You really weren't kidding when you said everyone would be sleeping" I slightly giggled as I followed him over to a massive stone grand stair case. I followed him up the many stairs and by the time we got to the top and walked over a large door. Matthew knocked on it. "Hyde? You in here?" Matthew asked as he slowly opened the door. "He turned to me "Wait here, do not wander off" He ordered me before walking inside.
Matthew POV
I walked into Hyde office and then entered his bedroom to see him sleeping on his bed. "Hey! Get up" I called out to him. "Ugh" He groaned. "What time is it?" He questioned. The moment I laid eyes on Athena I thought I was seeing a ghost. She's a spitting image of Ember, Hyde former lover. It only made me worry about what was really going on, why did she look so much like Ember and why would a vampire turn her. I knew it had to be Lucien. "You need to get up, it's...A human was turn unwillingly" I confessed. He shot his head up, almost as if he was now entirely awake. "What are you talking about?" He asked. "She was turn against her will and I'm pretty sure it was...." I paused. "Who must not be name" I cleared my throat. He got off his bed and pulled a shirt over his head. "Why would he want to turn a random human, he hasn't turned anyone since he turned me" Hyde explained. "Maybe because the woman he turned is an exact and spitting imagine of Ember" I pointed out. He knit his brows together "What are you talking about?" Hyde asked me. "Come see for yourself" I stated. He followed me out of his room and into his office. Athena is standing by the large book case. "I thought I told you to wait outside the door?" I scoffed, her to listen is going to make this harder that it should be at this point. "I got bored" She informed me. "Wh..." I heard Hyde whisper, causing me to turn my head. He ignored me and rushed over to where Athena is standing, knitting his brows together uncertain if he also had been seeing a ghost. "You must be the head master, I'm Athena" She tells Hyde, extending out her hand to him. "Sorry, right" He shook her hand as his posture changed. He quickly let go of her hand and walked back over to his desk. "As a new student of this school, you will start out as a Koffin kid, at the end of each year you will have a test on your gift and what you've learned then a choice will be made if you repeat being a Koffin kid or move onto the next level. "Just...how many levels are there?" Athena asked him. "Seven, in which after you graduate from the top level you will be released into a coven of Vampires and they will handle you from there" Hyde explained to her, using a calm and bored tone. "I have to be tested? Why?" She questioned. "To make sure you will not be a danger to humans as well as outing our kind" Hyde informed her. "Matthew, please take our new student to her dorm with the rest of the Koffin kids?" Hyde suggested to me. "On it, let's go" I grabbed her elbow and walked towards the set of doors. Athena POV Hyde is a beautiful man, black and purple hair with hazel eyes that looked like he seen centuries of pain. His arms covered in tattoos and yet all I felt was gentleness leave his lips, comfortable leave his eyes. His voice was smooth and calm. He's taller than me with a some what slim build and I found myself thinking about him as I was dragged down the halls by Matthew. I was shoved into the woman's dorm room to see a bunch of twin size beds lining the walls. Purple and black blankets covering other vampire's who slept. The entire room was pitch black, hearing the sounds of light snoring caused me to sigh before sitting down at the bed closest to the very large black curtains and sitting on the empty bed. I take my shoes off and pulled back the purple blanket and laid on the soft bed, closing my eyes my mind did wander off. Even as my mind slipped into sleep a part of myself felt as though someone was calling out to me, someone more dangerous than I could even muster up. I felt the familiar sense of darkness around me as I drifted off to sleep. "Athenaaa" I heard a man's voice call out to me. The darkness in the tone caused me to stand still in fear. "Athenaaa" I heard it again. "He-Hello?" I called out into the night. The sky was pitch black, not a star or cloud in sight. The air was cold and when it brushed against my skin it caused bumps to raise. "Wh-who's there?" I stuttered out, my fear causing my hands to tremble. "Athenaaa, come to me" I heard. Everything in my body was telling me to turn and run away. Just when I decided to turn I felt something grab a hold of my arm. "Ahh!" I cried out as the grip only became tighter. "Let go!" I screamed. "Wake up! Hey! Wake up!" I heard.
The voice became clearer. "Hey! Wake up!" I heard. My eyes snapped open and I shot up to see a woman jump back a little. "Woah, calm down..." She let out a nervous giggle. I knit my brows together, looking around the unfamiliar room. "You don't remember?" She questioned. "You're at Hyde's Vampire Academy" She added. So it was real? All of it? I only hoped it all had been some sort of nightmare. "My name is Bliss Rhodes, I'm also a Koffin Kid. I was assigned to show you around the school" She informed me. "Assigned?" I repeated her words, arching my brow high. "Yeah, Now get dressed. We don't have much time before breakfast is over and you don't want to learn on an empty stomach now do ya?" She smiled "Your uniform is right on the chair" She pointed to the purple and black plaid covered skirt and with a purple shirt and back tie with a black jacket.She turned on her heels before walking down the room before exiting the door, leaving me alone. I let out a groan "Why couldn't it have been a nightmare?" I asked myself, shaking my head before I stand to my feet and beginning to get dressed in the awful uniform.
