Until Dawn (GirlxGirl) [Hiatus]

Chapter 3: The Tour

The best part of the tour is the one Madame Vederiko loves the most. It is the very first thing the students experience at the academy. The woman admits loving the diverse emotions her new students would be showing before bringing them to their dorms. Now, many would think that she is about to pull of something out of the ordinary, and she will, but even if Grey actually were a human, Madame Vederiko would still do it. Supernatural beings or not, Blackburn Academy still is not an ordinary school. Humans that come here learn about the supernatural. Before the 'tour' they get deep briefed. Just to be sure, at times, vampires use their charm to make sure the humans keep everything a secret, and to not freak out on anything they might, and probably will see.

For supernatural beings Blackburn Academy is a safe haven, for humans it is the most expensive private academy in the world. Though both are true, there is another reason behind Blackburn Academy. A much darker reason.

"Young one, please hold my hand."

Grey looks at Madame Vederiko as if she had just told her to jump off a cliff. "What? Why, what for?"

The older woman simply smiles, "Oh, you'll see." She then extends her hand, waiting for Grey to take it.

After a quick internal battle with herself, Grey gives in. She takes Madame Vederiko's hand, and as soon as she does she wished she hadn't.

"Hold on tightly!" Madame Vederiko shouts as everything becomes a dark blur for Grey.

To be shadow traveling means that Madame Vederiko is a Vampire. Grey has met a lot of Vampires in her life, but not once has she ever shadow travelled.

"All right! We're here."

Grey stumbles a bit as she lets go of Madame Vederiko's hand. Not a second later she finds a trashcan nearby, perfect for her to run up to it and empty her stomach.

"Oh dear, have you never shadow travelled before?"

Grey doesn't answer as she vomits in the trashcan again. Madame Vederiko smiles. Same reaction every time. Except for that one ice elemental, the chairwoman thinks to herself.

She gives a napkin and water bottle to Grey, which the girl gladly takes.

After a few minutes Grey finally stabilizes, and gets up. Once she does, she almost falls to the floor. She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she takes in her surroundings, she finds herself amazed.

The place is huge, and she's only in a hallway. Grey looks up at the high ceiling where various chandeliers hung. She then looks at the detailed walls with various designs and a few gorgeous paintings here and there. After a few seconds, the young teen takes a few steps down the hall, loving the noise her shoes make against the marble floor.

"Isn't it amazing?" Madame Vederiko mused.

Grey can't stop the smile from crawling onto her face. "It really is." She walks to one of the many large windows and looks outside.

She can see many students walking around the extensive campus, but they all look human.

"Why do they..?"

"All look 'human'?" This makes Madame Vederiko chuckle. "Well, you see, before a student starts here, they are extensively studied so we can make a ring for them."

Grey crosses her arms, "And this rings make them appear human?"

"Correct."

"So, if that's true, then why do I have to act like a normal human?" Grey asked in pure curiosity. She never questioned her uncle in that, but she thought it was because of her, well... state.

Starting to walk inside the actual academy, Madame Vederiko starts to explain a few things.

"You're special Grey. They call you a halfblood, we would call you a hybrid."

Grey cringes at the word hybrid. Hybrids are forbidden because they tend to be extremely unstable, and obviously, stronger then both of the worlds it came from. Everyone uses halfblood with her, as halfblood werewolves who can enter the stages, tend to be a late bloomer on the third stage like her.

Large double doors open and the actual inside of the academy is breathtaking. It is spotless, the chandeliers look as if they are made from gold and diamonds. The walls are even more detailed, but more simple with the pastel colors.

Before Grey can continue taking in the academy, Madame Vederiko decides to tell her a few rules before she shows her the dorms.

"Grey, you must never tell anyone what you truly are. Of course, the day will come when you will suddenly enter your third change, but we will deal with that when the time comes."

"Second of all Grey, you must never be late to class. Other then that, the rules are mostly the same. Tomorrow is the first day for everyone in their second year, so you will get to know all of the rules by then."

Grey simply nods as she puts her hands in her pocket.

"Ryan Edger told me that you don't use traditionally female uniforms?" This makes her curious, out of all the years that she has run this academy, very few have wanted the opposite sex uniform. The females mostly tended to be troublemakers.

"I feel more comfortable in them, they're more spacious, and with the female uniform I feel limited." Grey shrugs, "I hate feeling limited."

Madame Vederiko smirks. She has a good one this year. Maybe she should put this one with a certain werewolf.

"Alright then. I will now show you the dorms and your room. All of the students are outside or in classrooms getting schedules or getting to know the teachers, but I highly doubt your roommate is doing any of those."

Grey cocked an eyebrow. What does she mean by that, is she paired up with a lazy student?

A few minutes of walking pass, and they reach a large building which looks like an apartment or a hotel. They walk in, and get on the elevator. Madame Vederiko takes out a silver key, and puts it in next to the number 13 which is the top floor.

'Interesting' Grey thinks, as she leans on the elevator's wall.

"I hope you two can get along well."

Grey cocked an eyebrow again, "Is she a trouble maker?"

"Two negatives do make a positve."

Before Grey can respond, the metal doors of the elevator open, revealing a beautiful penthouse. Suddenly, a person with a "werewolf" mask pops up roaring, which makes Grey jump slightly, and her heart race.

"Shit," she mumbles as she passes her hand through her jet black hair, making the red hair underneath visible.

Whoever it is in that mask starts to laugh uncontrollably, making Grey realize that it's a female.

"Your reaction was hilarious!" The strange female mused.

This makes Grey grunt, 'This is going to be a long year.'

AN: I appreciate any criticism, as always. Also, comments and vote's are always welcome!

So, who could this strange female be?
