The Pleiades Academy

The Welcoming

Bedelia and Aldora were running as fast as they could to get to the ceremony, which apparently were held in the main hall. The one problem was, that none of them knew were that was, and it was starting in only a minute. The corridors seemed endless and way too labyrinth like. They ran down a corridor, and on the wall Bedelia saw a clock ticking, 30 seconds, 29 seconds. They were running out of time. "this way!!" Aldora said pulling Bedelia to the side down a corridor. Bedelia stumpled after Aldora, almost falling as she ran. At the end of the corridor was a big door, and over stood on a golden sign 'Main hall' Aldora had seen it too and they both ran to the door. As they got to the door they pushed it open. it was heavy and took a lot of power, but it opened.

A loud sound came when they opened the doors. And on the other side of the door students and teachers were sitting, and they all looked at Bedelia and Aldora as they walked in. Both girls were out of breath trying not to show it. Ms. Pleiades looked as if she had been interrupted, and soon began talking. "As i was saying..." she began as Aldora and Bedelia found two seats. "We are happy to see so many new students and returning ones. This year will be different than the others" Ms. Pleiades said as chatter filled the room. "why different?" someone whispered. "what does she mean?" "what?" Whispers spread around around students. "I know this is hard to understand, but you will all need to be aware of the grounds outside the school. And I'm sorry but i can't tell you why, it'd be too dangerous if you knew" Ms. Pleiades said when the room had fallen silent.

Suddenly a voice cut through, "Well, how are we supposed to protect ourself, if we don't know from what?" It Was a girl who had interrupted The headmisstress. The girl had a determinant look on her face, it was a bit hard to notice, because of her brown locks waving over her face. The headmisstresses whole postour changed, like her body snapped into a new reality. It was clear to see she was holding back her boiling tember, cause the atmospher had changed around her. Everyone clearly felt it and kept silent. "i don't ecxpect you to protect yourself, we have it under control and i can assure you, that none of you will be put in such situation." No one dared to bring it up afterwards, scared of how the headmisstress would react. A few seconds pasted in complete silence, it was interrupted by a small lady. The lady had wide shoulders, matcing her contatious smile. "Hello everyone, i'm Berta Biwer and I'll be handing you your schedules, so if you could please stand in a line infront of me-" She didn't get more said before chairs beagn clettering together and pupils were getting up from their seats. "CAREFULLY!! Please." Berta shouted over the sounds of talking and clattering metal. Aldora and Bedelia both got up after a shared look of uderstanding. Bedelia and Aldora was indeed not last, though the thouhgt had passed them, but there were simply to many students. 

"Whatd do you think Ms. Pleiades was talking about?" Aldora asked quietly when they were standing in line. "To be honest, i have no idea." Bedelia said and shrugged. "I've only know about all this for maybe about a month. So i know nothing about so called 'Threats' ." Bedelia said. Aldora took that as an acceptable answer and didn't ask more. 

They stood in line completly silent, the sounds of the other students were enough to get a migrane. And when it was finally Bedelias turn, she got handed... a blank papir? "I'm sorry i-" She had been about to ask why the papir was blank, when suddenly, it was as someone was writing on it. It started writing; first her full name, then birthday, the date of the ecxact day, after that it just said: Schedule for today; No sessions.

Bedelaia had no words for, it was all to much for her brain to cope with right now. She simply just span around on her heels and began walking towards the dorm room. She had only gone a meter or so, when she had clicking steps running behind her. It gave echo in the big hall as Aldora ran up to her. "Wait a moment!" Aldora called out after her. "sorry" Bedelia said slowing down, she had almost forgotten about Aldora for a second or two. Aldora was now on her right side, she was completely quiet. Not that Bedelia minded, but she felt like it might be her fault somehow. "Have I done something wrong?" She asked sympathetically. She could almost feel the confusion coming from Aldora "No, why would you think that?" Aldora asked, Bedelia could tell she was telling the truth. Releif spread in Bedelias body; she really hated making people feel either sad or pity. Bedelia nodded "oh nothing, you just seemed so... sad i guess." Bedelia said, Aldora kept quite for a moment before she said anything. "Its just the thing Ms. Pleiades said, it sounded bad." She sounded almost scared. Bedelia sighed; Aldora was right, it did seem like a very bad thing. "Don't worry to much, you heard what she said; they have it under control." Bedelia mostly said this to calm her owmn nerves; she wasn't sure she beleived the words coming from her own mouth, but Aldora would be worrying to much if she didn't try to make her beleive that thoose words were true. "Your problably right." Aldora said seeming much happier, but all Bedelia could think was; i damn hope i am.

They walked the rest of the way without saying a word, which might be good; cause honestly Bedelia could problably not take this anymore. She had only been here a hour or so and she was already sooooo tired.

They finally got to their dorm, and when they opened the door they could hear whispering voices coming from the room. Bedelia regonized one of the voices as Chloe, the other though... she didn't regonize that one, but it was clear it was another girl. When the door closed behind them with a *BANG* the voices stopped at once and the two girls looked up from the sofa.

Bedelia could see the other girl now; her icey blue eyes were starring right at her, and her jet black hair still dangled lightly over her shoulders, the front pieces of her were slightly shorter than than the rest of her hair and had fallen slightly infront of her face.

Bedelia didn't have the time to get a word in, before Chloe was stood up and asked "Tea anyone?" Bedelia drew her eyes to Chloe and smiled "Yes, tea would be lovely." She didnt know why, but she felt slightly anxious; which she only did very rarely. She looked back at the black haired girl; she still hadn't said a word since Bedelia and Aldora had interrupted. Bedelia smiled politely at the girl, the girl nodded, in a way of greeting Bedelia. Bedelia took this as enough; she didn't really need much more than that.

Chloe finished the tea and sat it on the coffee table. Aldora and Bedelia realished they were both still standing and sat down aswell. As Bedelia sat down the comfy chair she finally felt truly welcome on this school. And as Aldora poured their tea, she couldn't help passing the thought of calling this home some time in the future. Which only made her feel worse, and without thinking she took her tea cup and took a big swig of the burning tea. She quickly spat it out, dropping her cup on the soft rug "FUCK!!-" She almost yelled as her tongue burned. All three girls looked at her with shocked expressions, when suddenly the black hair snorted in  lauhgter and didn't seem to be able to stop. "CYRUS!!" Chloe said giving the girl; apparently named Cyrus a hard look.

Bedelia stood up walking out to their shared bathroom, as she heard Chloe telling Cyrus of for laughing, she said things like "Don't laugh, that stuff hurts" Bedelia wasn't sure if she meant burning your tongue on hot tea or getting laughed at; It was most like the first though. Aldora had followed Bedelia to the bathroom "Are you okay?" Aldora asked as Bedelia held her tongue under the cold running tab, making sure not to accidentely lick the tab. "Dhdhh" Bedelia tried to form a yes, without taking her tongue away from the cold running water. 

Her tongue still burned slightly, but she didn't feel like standing in bathroom for much longer and walked out with Aldora by her side. Chloe looked at her as she walked out of the bathroom again. "You okay?" Chloe asked with some sort of pity in her voice. Bedelia nodded smiling slightly. "of course i am." Bedelia said, even though her tongue still hurt a little; it was much better at the same time, so it wasn't really a lie anyway. "I told you so." Cyrus said overdoing a very british accent; she was smikrking at Chloe. Chloe just shook her head" I'm headed of to bed, see you in the morning." Chloe siad walking to her room. "see you" Cyrus called after her, and Bedelia almost fely Chloe rolling her eyes. "Me too, i'm tired" Aldora said and smiled at Bedelia. "Sleep well" Bedelia said smiling back. "Thank you." Aldora said closing her door.

Cyrus looked at her. "Yeah, I'm not going to sleep just yet." Bedelia nodded. "Me neither, that tea really woke me up." At that Cyrus chuckled. "I could see that much." She said and Bedelia knew ecxactly what she was talking about; so Bedelia chuckled slightly aswell. "I must have looked so stupid" She lauhged, and Cyrus laughed even harder. "You did!" She almost choked on her words of laughter. They both laughed for a bit, when Bedelia spoke up. "I better get to sleep if i want to get up tomorrow." Cyrus nodded. "Me aswell, I'm not much of a morning person" She said as they both stood up. "Night" Bedelia said opening her dorm door. "Night" Cyrus smiled and they both closed their doors behind them.

Bedelia stood i the middle of a fire, it had eruppted in the main hall. Screams and shouting filled her head with angst. The smoke caught in her lungs and she coughed uncontronally. She was afraid, or more likely, so afraid she thought that this was her end, that this was how she would die. She couldn't see much more, her eyes were tearing from the smoke; and problably also her angst. She fumbled around, when her legs decided they would not hold her up anymore; so she fell on her knees coughing mor, and more. She began panicking as she couldn't move at all anymore. She was chocking in the fire, when suddenly a bright light apeared and started coming towards and all of the suuden she had no trouble breathing at all.
