Daughter of Hades

Chapter 5

"Dad I will be fine. Trust me. Plus they're just mortals and you are the god of death. What have I to fear?" I spoke soothingly as i kept a hand on my father's shoulder.

My father and I were standing outside the college dormitory with me dressed in mortal clothes which i have gotten used to while my dad was fussing over the fact that I am going to be living in the world. He was really worried.

"But are you sure my dear? This is not an easy tadk mind you. So please please take care." Father replied to which i nodded.

"All students please assemble in the main courtyard." The intercom cackled making jump slightly. My father sighed and wrapped his arms around me in an affectionate manner and kissed my forehead.

I smiled softly at him and turned around walking along with other people to the courtyard.

Everyone else seemed to be having a great time, Reuniting with their friends. I gave out a small sigh and kept my head down. Luckily for now people didn't seem to notice me.

Soon we all reached to the courtyard and gathered. I stood on my tip toes trying to get a look at the headmaster.

She was a middle aged woman with grey hair pulled into a bun. She was smartly dressed in a grey business suit and pencil skirt. She walked to the dias towards the microphone and cleared her throat.

All the excited buzzing of the students quietened down.

"Welcome to Hawthrone High everyone. This year is a new year and i hope you all have come renewed for it. I will not sustain any bad behavior, bullying, vandalizing school property or disrespect. Students will not be allowed to go out of school premise after 10 pm. If any such thingiis discovered, strict actions will be taken.
I hope you all enjoy this year and study hard. Thank you. "

The headmistresd spoke in her sharp voice almost making me shiver.

After the announcement the groups started dispersing into boys and girls. All the girls went to the right of the courtyard while the boys went to the left.

I hitched my backpack higher on my shoulder and tightened my hold on the suitcase in hand as i followed the girl crowed.

Scanning the list on the wall beside i entrance i took note my dorm number.

403

I bit my lower lip and walked to it.

"Hey there! Im Cassie. And you are?" A bubbly voice chirped as i entered the room . I turned my head and look in the direction of it.
