"Given recent events, some students have expressed concern that I am not allowing you to have a say in the decisions that affect your future," Alaric began and paused for a moment, glancing at his two daughters. "And I agree. If you are expected to abide by this school's policies, it's only fair that you have a voice in how those rules are made.

So, I am forming an honour council," he announced and the students began whispering to each other. Finally intrigued by yet another one of the morning assemblies. "One vampire, one witch and one werewolf, each elected by their peers. Along with our school counsellor, Emma, whose vote will represent the younger students.

"MG is such a narc," a vampire whispered to their friend next to them.

Alexandria who was sitting directly behind them kicked the back of their seat forcefully. Causing the vampire to jolt and whip their head to the person behind them. The sudden noise caused a silence from the few people around them as they looked in their direction to see what was happening.

Alexandria earned a glare from the vampire, but she only stared back. Giving back a glare with the same amount of malice, challenging the student with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Now, I have to go off-campus. In the meantime, I expect you to make good decisions and to vote wisely," he advised the students carefully. "That's all. You're dismissed."

Alaric grabbed his duffle bag that was placed off to the side and left the school while everyone else left the hall in an orderly fashion.

"Alex! I need your help," Alexandria was stopped in her tracks when she heard a voice from behind her.

She turned on her heel to be met with Josie peeking her head into the hallway. Alexandria's brow furrowed but she followed the Gemini Twin as she disappeared back into her room. Walking through the doorway, she was met with several scattered posters on the floor of Lizzie's portrait labelled with the phrase "I'm With Her", while the person in question was busy figuring out the perfect colour of her outfit in the mirror on the other side of the room.

"Um– what exactly did you need help with?"

"The outfit makes the speech," Lizzie announced to everyone in the room, waving her hand in front of her. Creating the illusion to appear as though her pantsuit was a pastel pink in the mirror.

Seeing a familiar face standing near the doorway behind her, she perked up and quickly turned around to guide Alexandria closer to the mirror by her shoulders.

"Perfect. I've been trying to figure out the right colour for my victory rally but I need a second opinion. I have three options," she began without letting Alexandria say anything.

"This is the first option," she referenced to the pink and slowly waved her hand in front of the mirror to change the illusion to a pastel blue. "This is the second one," she paused and gave a moment for Alexandria to look at the colour. "And this is the third," she smiled and stepped back so the werewolf could see the original outfit.
