I sat up, breathing hard and sweating from the nightmare. I realised I was clutching at my chest, sighed and let go.

I looked down at the scars on my arms, then dropped it.

"Every night..." Sighing again, I reached for the bottle of water next to me.

As I picked it up, something slipped from leaning on the bottle. I sipped my water as I felt around in the dark. Luckily the moon was full tonight and was just bright enough to be able to see that it was a letter.

I opened it and squinted to try and read the contents.

I widened my eyes when I saw the letters spell out: RAD

I quickly got out of bed, getting dressed and packing small bag, before clutching the letter and opening my door. I peeked out and heard the loud noises of the party still being held downstairs.

Breathing out lightly, I stepped out, closed my door and snuck over to the balcony. Next to the balcony was a large tree that I was able to easily climb down.

Once my feet touch the ground, I took off running before someone saw me. I should be able to get to the gate without being seen. Nobody would expect me to be outside this late.

I spotted the gate and quickly scaled it, landing on the other side, not stopping to see if I'd been spotted.

I got to a small oasis before I stopped for a breath.

I looked at the letter again, hoping that I'd actually been accepted. I wasn't going back either way, but this was my way out.


Welcome Kamal,

We are pleased to welcome you to our exchange program at the Royal Academy of Diavolo, or RAD.

You and other selected students will spend a year at RAD where you will be given certain tasks to complete.

We wish you the best of luck with your tasks.

Lord Diavolo.


Relief flooded through me as I tried to find something to sign it with. Realising I didn't have a pen, I mentally cursed myself and looked around for a sharp rock.

I cut my finger and signed with the blood that welled up.

I sighed and waited for the portal, before looking around and walking through.

My feet tapped onto a solid floor as I stepped through the portal and into a large room.

There was a large table and several chairs. I looked around and spotted about nine men sitting and standing around, looking in my direction.

"Oh, uh. Hello. I am Kamal Assim." I wasn't sure what to say. My mind was still trying to process going from the oasis to this large room full of men.

"Welcome Kamal. I am Diavolo!" A large man with red hair and eyes, held out his hand and shook mine.

He proceeded to introduce each of the other men in the room and hand me a device he called a D.D.D.

"Barbatos, could you escort Kamal to the dorms, please."

"Yes my Lord."

The man named Barbatos opened a portal and lead me into another room.

"Just please wait here until Simeon and Solomon arrive." The man bowed and left the way he came.

I sighed, happy to finally have a rest. I looked at the new D.D.D and started messing around trying to figure out how to use it.

After a little while, a small girl with blue hair walked into the room and sat down on the opposite side of the room. She didn't notice me and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

A while after that, more people started to arrive until a girl arrived who was wearing a long dress, a split up to her thigh showing a jewelled chain around her thigh, a thin strip of fabric covering her breasts but still showing a little cleavage. There were more glittery chains around her chest and torso, a small ear piercing on her left ear with a small chain that went up to another piercing on her upper ear. There was a bracelet chain similar to the piercing ending in three rings. The headdress was also beaded and jewelled.

I watched her as she looked around the room at people, and I felt guilty for her.

Internally sighing, I got up and leaned on the wall next to her until she turned to me.

"Just come from a Halloween party?"

She looked at me with her eyebrows raised.

I sighed and smiled. "Jacket?" I grabbed a jacket from my bag and put it on her before she could argue.

"I won't tell." I whispered to her.

She stared at me for a moment, then just nodded. We turned and sat on a couch and waited for the coordinators to arrive.
