Luna walked to the Curator and said "I'm Luna Seattle the Mayor's daughter"she introduced. The Curator arched a brow, the mayor had a daughter?. He thought, staring at her and contemplating whether to believe it or not . "What are you guys doing here?"the man who came with Damien questioned, staring sceptically at them. "I could also ask you the same because looking at your clothes you don't look like you're from this town"Luna countered, folding her hand on her chest . "whether your father is the Mayor or not I didn't permit you in here , I'll make sure your father would answer to this "the Curator countered and Luna bit her lip and grabbed Cora's hand and was about to drag her from there when Cora saw the same tattoo she had seen on the man in her vision's hand imprinted on Damien's hand but because it was fleeting she didn't get to properly look whether it was her mind playing games or it was reality. Aiden quickly bowed and followed her friends. He knew that even though Luna was acting all tough she was actually in trouble for barging in here , she could be sued for that. The trio headed to their car and this time around Aiden decided to drive.Luna took a bottle of water from the car and passed it to Cora who downed it down her throat before muttering her thanks. "Do you guys believe in vampires?"Cora queried and both Luna and Aiden gave her a weird gaze."No I don't , but why do you ask?"Luna asked, turning to face her. "I got some vision when I touched that thing in the museum and it looked as if I saw a vampire,"she said with a confused gaze . Never had she ever dreamt of vampires being real , she thought they just existed in stories . She closed her eyes finally feeling the fatigue of being pulled into the past , she was drained of energy and succumbed to sleep. "Can you narrate everything that you saw to us ?"Aiden mumbled but there was no response, he looked through the mirror and saw her sleeping figure leaning against the door. "Will you be fine ?"Aiden worried about what Luna's father might do . Even though Luna was her father's only child, it didn't mean the man didn't subject her to inhumane punishment sometimes. Aiden sighed at the memory of a tiny girl being tied by the hands to a rope while her father whipped her until she bled. "I've always been"Luna answered and smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. Aiden didn't say anything and drove to Cora's house first.
Back at the museum Damien inspected the antique before him with furrowed brows , for some unknown reason he couldn't get the picture of that masked girl out of his head . They finally exited the museum after instructing the Curator to keep it hidden.They entered the car and removed the fake face he had used at the museum. He revealed a very handsome face far more beautiful than the mask he had worn , pink lips ,a well chiselled face, pointed nose and an inky black hair which hovered over his eyes. "Find out everything about those three people who were at the museum " he ordered and the man nodded.
Two weeks after this incident the results of the admission finally came and Cora was selected as part of the few people at the University who had gained entry on scholarship. Everlyn was over the moon when Cora called her at her workplace to inform her . "My daughter has gained entry to Oscars'!" Evelyn announced with pride in her voice. It was only the rich people in the country that could afford that school and a very slim chance of giving out scholarships. The people at her bakery shop were overjoyed. Cora called her friends to share her good news and they all congratulated her .
The day for her departure finally came and Aiden and her mom were the ones who escorted her to the ship that was sending all new year students of Oscars' to the island. "Where's Luna?''Cora asked, trying to delay her departure as she looked around waiting for her. She has been trying to reach her since the day she told her about her scholarship but it seemed not to go through.``Maybe she won't be able to make it but I'll make sure to reach her and let her know about your departure"Aiden assured. Cora nodded and hugged him before hugging her mom and finally boarding the ship.
Upon arriving at the University she realised that the internet didn't do any justice to how beautiful the place was. It was breathtakingly beautiful that she couldn't help but click a few photos on her phone. When she got down from the ship a woman dressed in a long black pencil skirt with an expressionless face approached them. "Good morning everyone, I'm Miss Hurdeton and I'll be accompanying you guys for today"she announced and they all nodded following her . Cora could see from the way the other students dressed that they were from rich homes.``I can't believe I'm finally in Oscars' my dream school!''a girl squealed to her friend . Cora quietly followed the group of people. Her agenda here was simple , she wanted to be a lawyer and so will work hard towards it, stay out of the limelight, and also find answers to her questions. She had told her friends about what happened the other day at the museum and Luna too had told her about how some scales had appeared on her skin. She was scared now because she didn't know what she was and prayed it wasn't anything forbidden. Miss Hurdeton toured them around explaining where all the roads led to before leading them to a big hall where she was supposed to wait .
