Emily opened the door and entered the class and was greeted by the warm smile of a young woman who stood before the class ,she had pure black hair that was pulled back into a beautiful bun ,she had beautiful black eyes that sparkled even in the day.
"Hello Miss ,you must be Emily Patton ,the new Student."? She asked politely with a smile.
Emily smiled back and nodded."yes I'm Emily Patton from Woodpern."
"Welcome to our prestigious school Emily , I'm Professor Thompson Lilian,you are free to call me Lilian , I'm your Class Tutor, I'm in charge of all your Art and humanities class."
"Nice to meet you Professor Lilian." Emily said politely offerings a small curtsy.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen,this is our new Student Emily Patton,she joined through the Scholarship,treat her nicely and show her the rope." Lilian addressed the class.
"MS Patton are you related to Duke Patton of Oakwood." A student's voice rang out from the back.
Emily suddenly remembered when Penelope had asked same question,it must be weird that she shared the same name as a duke."no not at all." Emily replied.
The class suddenly seem to look at her in another light ,they seem to have lost interest in her instantly they heard she had no relationship to the important duke.
Noticing this Lilian tried to lighten the air,Emily you can have your sit now ,you may sit on the table next to uhm.....uhmmm David."
Lilian gestured towards an empty seat beside a man. "Please, Emily, take your seat. We'll begin the lesson shortly."
Emily smiled, feeling a bit more at ease, and walked towards the seat. As she sat down, David turned to her and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm David. Welcome to our class." He smiled warmly.
Emily returned the smile. "Thank you David, it's nice to meet you ."
"Sorry about the ignoring earlier, it's just a little weird to see someone newaring same surname as Duke Patton of Oakwood,tho the name is common it's rare."
'thank you for explaining that to me." Emily said.
"You are welcome."David replied with a smile.
Just then Penelope walked up to them with a smile."Emily ,I see you are getting acquainted with David already."
"Morning Penny." David
"Morning, David," Penelope replied, turning to Emily. "I'm glad you're settling in, actually David and I have are study buddies ,we meet at the library everyday by 2:00 pm,you are welcome to join us."
"Yeah that'd be nice ,are they any sort of rules here?." Emily asked.
Penelope nodded. "Just the usual stuff,males aren't allowed into the female dorm after seven in the evening , no leaving school without permission, and don't forget to attend your classes regularly."
David added, "And don't be late for Professor Everwood's class. He's notorious for being strict."
Emily smiled. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tips."
David smiled back. "No problem, happy to help. So, Emily, what do you think of our school so far?"
Emily thought for a moment. "It's beautiful. I love the architecture ,But I have to admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed. There's so much to take in."
Penelope chuckled. "I know how you feel. It took me a while to adjust too. But don't worry, you'll get used to it soon."
Just then, Professor Lilian cleared her throat to get the class's attention. "Alright, everyone. Let's get started on today's lesson. Please take out your textbooks and turn to page 37."
As the class settled in, Emily felt a sense of excitement and nervousness. She was eager to learn.
After class Emily Penelope and David walked out of the class after the rest of the students , David turned to Emily and asked "Emily what are you studying."
Emily thought for a moment before replying."I have interest in law , I'm thinking of working for the council."
Penelope paused."the council , don't you think that would be very hard for you,the council aren't very particular in letting women into the council."
Emily smiled."I know but I want to try."
David nodded, impressed. "I admire your determination, Emily. It's not easy to pursue a career in law, especially in the Council. But if you're passionate about it, you should definitely go for it."
Penelope smiled. "I agree with David. You should totally go for it, Emily. We'll support you all the way."
Emily smiled, feeling grateful for her new friends. "Thanks, guys. That means a lot to me."
As they walked, they approached the school's courtyard. The sun was shining, and the flowers were blooming beautifully.
Penelope gestured to a nearby bench. "Hey, let's take a break and sit down for a bit. We can talk more about the Council and what it's like."
David nodded, and they all sat down on the bench.
Penelope turned to Emily. "So, Emily, what makes you want to join the Council?"
Emily thought for a moment before responding. "I've always been interested in justice and fairness. I want to make a difference in the world, and I think the Council is a great place to start."
David nodded. "That's really admirable, Emily. The Council can be a challenging place, but if you're passionate about making a difference, you'll definitely make an impact."
Emily smiled."thank you,so what about you two what are you studying."
"I have been studying history for two years ,I won't lie , I'm intrigued with the past,do you know that the very first ever vampire is still alive somewhere in a coffin, he's over five hundred century old."
"Wow , that's very old."Emily commented
" Yes,very old." David said."and over these years he has only 3 direct descendents,those decedent's are stringer than normal vampire ,very powerful."
Penelope chimed in."they are also way dangerous than normal vampire as their thirst is twice that of normal vampires."
"Does anyone know their where about."? Emily asked intrigued.
David leaned in, a conspiratorial look on his face. "Rumors say they reside in the Carpathian Mountains, hidden away from human eyes. But be warned, Emily, those vampires are not to be trifled with. They're the stuff of nightmares."
Penelope nodded in agreement. "Yes, and their powers are said to be unmatched. They can control the minds of humans and bend the elements to their will."
Emily's eyes widened with fascination. "That's incredible. I had no idea vampires were so powerful aside taking blood."
David smiled. "There's a lot to learn about the Night creatures world, Emily. And I'm happy to share my knowledge with you."
