The Nevermore Gates swing open, and a mysterious figure wearing a dark long cape with the hood on their head, walks through. They drag along their suitcase across the bumpy concrete road with a backpack fixed perfectly on their shoulders.

The drops of rain fall slowly yet ever so beautifully on the mysterious figure walking in. The sound of their matte black raggedy boots hitting the ground create a pleasing feeling to the student standing by and watching. Mesmerized by the figure's mysterious aura, Xavier Thorpe snaps himself back to reality and calls out to them.

"Hey!" Unable to think of any further words to use to kindly confront the new intruder, Xavier is forced to swallow back his words.

The mysterious person stops dead on their tracks, sending a shiver down Xavier's spine. This figure clearly creeped him out. They lift their head slightly up and turn towards him, their eyes slightly orange. Xavier steps back in fear, and the newcomer's eyes turn back to ocean blue. They take off their hood to reveal themselves and a small smile comes across Xavier's face.

In front of him stood a tall young girl, brunette wavy hair, and ocean blue eyes. They were sharp, almost deadly if you stare for too long. She had soft rose lips but rough sharp cheekbones. A scar ran across the right side of her face, starting from the top of her eyelid, down her nose and ending on her left cheek. She was dressed in tight black pants and a loose white sleeve. The dark black cape was sitting perfectly on her shoulders and reached just towards her knees. She had a silver witches knot on a brown thread around her neck, with a carved wooden dragon.

Xavier finally finds the words to speak, "you're...you're the new student we were told about?"

A smile that once sat on her face, slowly fades.

"We?" Her dark and rusty voice echoes towards Xavier.

Xavier hesitates but pushes on, "Coach-I mean principal Vlad told us we'd be expecting you."

"Vlad?" She asks interestingly.

"Coach Vlad Cezar is the temporary allocated principal. He's taking over..." Xavier tries to hold back tears, "he's taking over Principal Weems position until we can find someone fit for the role. May her soul rest in peace."

The newcomers face becomes darkened by a shadow and her voice deeper and sharper, "Amen."

Xavier stands up straight and smiles towards the newcomer, "My name's Xavier, Xavier Thorpe."

"Bodyguard?" she asks sarcastically, and Xavier lets out a small laugh.

"No, a psychic. I was just walking to get some fresh air."

She smiles, almost devilishly, "Tiamat, but everyone calls me Tia."

Xavier smirks, "strange name."

"Father named me after the Mesopotamian Goddess. Quite known for her chaotic nature."

Xavier nods, quite impressed. "I can walk you to the principal's office if you like-"

"I don't need direction; I already know the way."

Xavier holds his tongue, as Tia turns away and continues to walk.

"Wait!"

Tia turns around to face Xavier

"You didn't tell me, what are you?"

Tia grins menacingly, "You'll find out soon enough."

Xavier is taken aback by the response and watches Tia walk off towards the school. Whoever she is, she isn't as friendly as she seems.

Principal Vlad stands up from his desk as Tia walks in, alone. Wearing a black suit with a white buttoned shirt, he moves away from his desk to kindly greet Tia. He extends his hand out and Tia takes it, shaking it firmly. Vlad notices but shrugs it off and pulls away.
