Like all days where class is in session at the Vampire Academy, it was night time and all the mortals who lived in the village among the castle they believed was abandoned or haunted due to never seeing any of the creature of the night students or faculty come out, due to the fact they can never see the sun. The stars shined like diamonds in the clear endless sky with darkness taking over and the vampires were awake and living like the humans, though believed them to be very different and rarely had contact with them.

A girl with platinum blonde, almost white hair walked nervously down the corridor. She looked timid and unsure.

There was no one also in the hallways just then, but there was a very tall figure with a tall top hat with a cane and he had piercing red eyes. He looked down at the girl. "You must be our newest student, yes?"

The girl looked up at him and jumped back a step from surprise. "Y-Yes, sir..." she stutters.

"Come with me, child..." he told her, his voice slightly overbearing, but not intentionally so as he seemed to slither down the hallways to take her to the room where all the students feared of being sent to at most times.

The girl followed, looking nervous. The man opened the double doors, allowing the girl to go in first and stand in front of the desk with a large chair. There was also a sleeping brown-furred wolf that was by the desk. He woke up with a yawn, sounding more like a puppy than a bloodthirsty carnivore and looked nervous at the girl, even if she was more to him. The girl looked extremely nervous.

The man looked at the paper before the girl. "Demetria, is it? It says you need a bit of extra help yourself in the department of your lifestyle... No need to worry, not everyone makes the 'perfect' creature of the night much like our very own Dracula."

Demetria nodded. She was new to being a vampire.

"This might sound odd to you, but almost everyone here was born a vampire, but some can be bitten," the count told her gently. "I just hope to see some progress from you during your time in this school. Can you promise me to try your level best, but you might have to bounce ahead in your comfort zone for when we have our school inspector visit."

"I-I promise." she says quietly. She tugged on the braid of her hair.

"Now, let's get someone to help you out a little," the count looked at the files of his students, finding someone who could show the new girl around. "Oh, how about Wren?" He sent out a call for the latest new student of the school, probably to help the newest girl understand the situation.

There came a young vampire girl with very, very pale skin, wavy black hair tied with red bows in pigtails, a coal black short-sleeved top, shorts, silver tights, black boots and black finger-less gloves. "You wanted to see me, Count?"

Demetria looked at Wren. She felt plain compared to the beauty of the girl.

"Wren, will you kindly show around Demetria?" the count requested from her.

The gothling vampire smirked. "What's in it for me?"

"WREN..." the count nearly sounded scolding.

"I kid, I kid," Wren laughed, then came to the new girl. "Come on, let me show you the REAL way around this school. Anything to get out of another dance class with Lady Kryptina."

Demetria followed Wren. "Thank you, sir." she tells the Count.

"Have a good day, girls." the count told them.

Wren went with Demetria as the doors mysteriously shut behind them. "Now, let me say this now, never EVER get sent in there, it'll be your worst nightmare."
