Aiden.
A lot of hours passed before the car finally came to a halt in front of humongous gates.
Written on it were words boldly spelled 'Prestige High'
So that's what this place is called?
It wasn't long before both gates made a loud buzzing prison sound, drifting wide open automatically.
There was nobody behind the gates so I assumed it was automatic.
It was when my car moved through the gates that I realized that we still had a long way to go and I wasn't wrong because fifteen minutes passed and we were still moving deeper into the estate.
There were only forest and trees by my both sides and my car was the only moving thing on the single road.
The further we drove in, the more I felt sucked into a deep never ending tunnel and Ashton's words immediately settled into my hearing.
They murder our kind there and nothing gets done about it.
I feel my palm curve to a fist before I even know it and everything blacks out.
If my father sent me here to get killed, I'd better let him know that it'll take a whole lot of effort to get me killed. I won't make this easy for him.
The honk of my car jolted me out of the torture chambers in my head and I see another gate.
This one had people in front of it.
They wore a certain armed force uniform, a number of five people in total, like they were a special security team.
When my car glided to their midst, a few stood guard, while two amongst them came forward to the tinted glass and knocked at it, urging me to pull down.
With a little shove on the button, my window came down slightly and they bowed their heads in greeting, instantly paving the way for my car to go in.
Once inside, my eyes takes a vast survey of the entire place and to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations. The place look out of a movie.
I see two people, male, and female standing beside my car waiting patiently for me to step out. They wore tailored suits that had the school logo.
I guess it was a uniform.
The lady was my kind but the boy was somewhat between a Rabbit and a Hare.
"Welcome to Prestige High, Mr Hellhawker". She manages a polite smile once I step out of the car. She extends her hand in greeting but my days of being polite to anyone had long ended decades ago.
I shoved my hands into my pants, turning towards the other direction and taking a good look at my surroundings, leaving her hanging like I wasn't just offered a handshake.
But even with my rude behavior she still kept the smile on her face, introducing herself like I gave two shits about those pieces information.
"My name is Ashley Mongrel, I have been assigned to guide you to the Admin's office". She added, taking her hands down and coiling them together when openly ignored her handshake.
"This is Jeremy Fernandez". She said. "He's our school president, and he's with me".
I take my eyes to the boy and he ferned a smile that I didn't reciprocate.
I could see through him that my attitude ticked him off but for some reason, he over looked and acted as though he was trying to be on his best behavior... As though he didn't want to slip up, while the female was trying to impress me.
What's the deal with these two?
Besides, is a school president supposed to welcome a student specifically? Did he welcome the others like this as well?
I could tell he didn't want to be here.
With a sigh, I take a few steps forward before turning to look at them. "Lead the way". I tell them and they hurriedly appeared on both sides beside me... The boy by my left and the girl by my right.
She looked excited.
As we moved into the extremely large hallway and the mixed smell of different creatures strolled up into my nostrils, my stomach took an unknown churn.
It gave off the sensation of a prison cell, but a well utilized and tech-upgraded prison that draws you in so much that you begin to wonder if you want to stay and explore what it entails and at the same time, question if you are ready to face the mystery you would discover.
It's interior was between classic, royale, and modern. And the vastness gave a serene feeling of art.
You could see different classes holding from each angle and their facilities looked high-end.
When we finally cornered to a different hallway, someone rushed in front of me with wide eyes mouthing a "woah". And staring at me in awe before averting her gaze to the girl beside me, dragging her away after telling her it was urgent.
She hurriedly left, leaving just I and the boy beside me as he gestured me to follow him.
I see a large door upfront and presumed that we were heading there. I could already hear the voices of the people inside and it seemed like they were already waiting for me because I hear my name.
Unlike other vampires, I do have special abilities that no other vampire has. It is a special thing in my family since we are of the linage of pure-blooded vampires.
We are gifted with so many extinct gifts that are rare, which makes us the most powerful in general.
Out of my other abilities, the one I loathe the most is the curse of being able to hear everything all at once. Sometimes I eavesdrop out of my will, and without wanting to, I am involved in people's affairs.
I don't know whether to call it a special ability or a curse but either way, I can't help it.
They were talking about me and at that moment I suddenly realized why I was treated specially. I scoffed to the reveal calling the attention of the boy beside me.
He looked at me but couldn't ask me why I suddenly looked pissed.
I hear the man saying "We normally don't accept students midterm no matter how special they are so why are we doing this?"
Then I hear the woman say " He's not just any special breed, you idiot. He's a Hellhawker".
Fuck!
I can't even run away from that man even if I wanted to.
I hear her tell him "Be on your best behavior before he comes and don't say anything stupid".
Jeremy turned to look at me as we neared the door and manages a small smile. I guess he heard that part of the conversation and realized that I heard it too.
He knocked on the door before pushing it open as I was welcomed into the room by four pair of eyes.
I see the lady behind the desk, before my eyes strolled to the man that stood beside her with both arms crossed forward.
"Mr Hellhawker...". She stands from her seat when our eyes meet.
"Aiden..." I corrected. "Call me Aiden". I tell her and she manages a smile.
"Aiden". She says my name before blurting "Welcome to Prestige High".
