Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

After driving for what feels like FOREVER we pulled up to a wrought iron fence with a brick wall about twenty feet tall. "We have co-ed dorms but I set it up to where you three will share a dorm together." Alice explained "When we pull up I'll take you three to the cafeteria because I bet you're all starving." Alice said before punching in a code. When the fence opened all the way we drove through and continued on for another few minutes before pulling up to a and the only way to describe it as it's practically a seven story castle. Yep we're pulling up to and about to attend a real life Hogwarts. "Ok we're here." Alice said turning off the engine as we go to grab our bags Alice stops us "No need Vincent, Scott, and Felix here will take those to your room. Let's get food in you three because you three haven't eaten in a while." Alice said walking towards one of the buildings as we wave and walk passed the group that Alice introduced us to and followed behind her. We walked down a few other hallways and while doing so Emily and Damian are acting like their usual selves with his arm hanging over her shoulder while her arm is wrapped around his waist. When we reach what must have been the cafeteria by the fact I could smell all the different foods from the other end of the hall with the loud chatter that went with it. When we entered with Alice everything got so quite you could hear a pen drop... from the other end of the hall outside of the cafeteria. Alice cleared her throat. "Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to introduce Emily Sharpe and twins Iris and Damian Black." as she introduced us she pointed to each of us clarifying who is who. "Please treat them the same way I tell you to treat each other. To treat them with the respect you want them to show you." Alice said showing us where to get trays and silverware before showing us to the buffet line. "Take as much as you think your stomaches can handle." Alice said "Is this everytime we eat our meals or is this a one time thing?" I asked "Everytime the different Arcane races that come here need to eat a lot lets take you for example Iris since one of your Arcane Magic is Ōkami Magic you need to eat a lot that's another reason why your metabolism burns through the calories so quick. Plus its called a buffet line for a reason. So kids help yourselves." Alice said waving towards to the line before walking away. Me and Damian filled our trays so much I'm surprised they didn't break. We sat at an empty table to eat. While we were eating I started having a feeling of deja vu of people staring at and trying to figure us out just like back in Boston. We see a group of boys walking over. Oh joy shits about to go down and we haven't been here an hour. "Hey babies what are two beauties like you sitting with a nobody for?" asked the one in the middleof the group. I stood up "Well we have names that Alice literally just got done saying me and Damian are twins and Emily over there is his girlfriend so if there's nothing else we'd like to get back to eating our lunch ok? Yes? Thanks bye." I said sitting back down. The boy in the middle marched around the table to came up to my side. He swung but before it made contact with my jaw I caught it in my hand without looking in his direction and it caused his eyes to go wide. I threw his hand away. I started resuming my eating of lunch. "What are you? Only a shifter or vampire is fast enough to move that fast." the boy asked. "I'm an Ōkami shifter." I stated without looking up. I slowly looked up after say it "You got a problem with that?" I asked with an emotionless face causing the group to take a step back. "I... um..." the guy started to talk with a stutter before looking away "No I don't have a problem." he said before walking away. His group looked at me before going to catch up to who I assumed was the group's leader. "Wow not bad newbie making Zech sweat bullets with a look" I look up to see a guy in a sleeveless leather jacket. "And you are?" I asked "Oh right sorry. Nice to meet you I'm Ashton but you can call me Ash." he introdeced himself extending his hand to me. Being polite I shake hand. I feel that his hand was cold but his touch sent warmth through my body. "So Ash you want to tell us about yourself?" Damian asked Ash. I turned to Damian and noticing him covering his smile with his hand. "Sure but you haven't introduced yourselves yet." Ash said looking at us. "Didn't you hear Alice introduce us when we arrived?" I asked with an eyebrow raise. "No I wasn't in the cafeteria when you showed up." I stood up "I'm Iris this weirdo is my twin Damian, and she is his girlfriend Emily. "Ok nice to meet you three... wait you're twins?" Ash asked pointing between me and Damian."Haven't you heard its rude to point?" Damian and I asked simaltaneously. "Ok I see it now." Ash said with a slight chuckle. "Well you gonna sit or were you already sitting at a table before coming over?" I asked after sitting back down. "Sure only if you three do the same." Ash said while only looking at me as he sits across from me while Emily and Damian are to my right. "What you want to know?" I asked as me and Ash watch each other. "Where you three from?" Ash asked "We're from Boston. Where are you from?" I asked Ash his own question. "Well I'm from Pittsburgh." I looked at Ash after hearing where he's from. "And now we're in Texas. We're all a long way from home being here huh?" I asked with sarcasm. Ash chuckled "You're right about that." Ash said with a smile and I smirk back. "So what Arcane are you?" Emily asked "I'm a vampire and Mage." Ash said not looking away from me. "Hey cool I'm a Mage too but I'm a Nine Tailed Kitsune." Emily said with her regular cheerfull demeanor. "Kitsune nice. I've never seen a Kitsune in person." Ash said impressed by her Arcane powers. "And like I said I'm a Ōkami... well so far that I'm aware of." I said "I have Ōkami too." Damian said. I look at Damian and seeing a smirk on his face. "So how do you know the Headmistress?" Ash asked. "Alice and Arthur claim to be our grandparents but we're not sure if they're telling the truth or not mom and dad never really spoke about the rest of the family so its really only been us and our parents. Family wise." I explained "And me." Emily said causing us to laugh "Yeah and you." I said before side hugging Emily with a smile. "Iris we got company." Damian said not looking at me but towards the cafeteria enterance. I look to see Arthur heading towards us. "Hello Mr. Robertson I see you've met my grandchildren and Ms. Sharpe." Arthur said with his hands behind his back "Here kids." Arthur passes us each a folder. "These folders hold your information like your school emails, schedules, locker, a map of the school, and these are your keys to your room." Arthur said sliding a key with a number on it to each of us. "Mr. Robertson can you show them to their room when they're done eating please" Arthur asked. Arthur gets a sarcastic salute from a smirking Ash. Arthur walked away without another word. "Quite the hands on grandparent huh?" I asked sarcastically with smirk and a raised eyebrow. Ash just laughed. We got up after finishing our lunch and left the cafeteria.
