The Bellunucis

New Beginnings

I finally arrive in Medavela, it's a beautiful place with refined architecture. The people are no different, the wealth was evident. The city was hard to navigate with similar building structures while following the directions I was given. I was exhausted and hungry, but I could not stop for a snack until I reach my destination. It was the afternoon nearing the weekend so people were doing a lot of shopping. There was music playing on one part of the street and people stopped to watch the performance.
It took me an hour to reach the academy, it was magnificent. I don't know if that was the right word, I felt out of place, it looks like a castle fit for a king.

"wow, just wow!" I was impressed.
The gold tone on the wall and columns stood out more than anything. I believe I would be staying here. I went to the entrance which was heavily guarded, that is expected. Witches are heavily sort after and force into binding agreements. Some are welcome if it gives them protection.

The guards approach me.
"State your business!" she bellowed.

"I am here at the admission of the High witch Florence Burguoise," I replied.

"State your name and place your hands on the panel," she responded.

I could feel the magic in every part of my body, probing my identity and my intentions. The feeling eventually stops and I removed my hands, then I was able to enter.

I was instructed by the guard to find the main office and speak with the secretary. At this point, I am dead on my feet, they felt like a log. I need to get my schedule so I could find my room, get this weight off my shoulder and get some rest.

Life isn't so accommodating so I did not get my wish, instead, I was being dragged all over the campus like a puppet on a string. Can you believe this? I was the dead walking, pretty close to the ones on the show because I want to eat someone's heart out. That's how pissed off I was. I know it is a procedure, what can a girl do to get some sleep? Someone shoot me.

So here I am trying not to fall asleep in the shower. Luckily my roommate has not arrived, so I have the room to myself. It was a long and stressful day and soon as I hit the bed I was asleep.

I was in the arms of the most handsome man and he was mine. He had so much love in his eyes. I could not comprehend if such affection was for me. I felt myself smile as we glide on the dance floor, no one else just us.
"mia bella," he whispered.
His eyes change color, and with shock, I realize he was a vampire. The next second he ripped my heart out with the evilest smile.

"Nooooooooo," I screamed. My heart was pounding, I touch my chest to make sure it was still there.
"What the hell?" It was a dream but it felt so real. I was drenched with sweat. I took a shower, check my schedule, and when downstairs. I was starving, I have not eaten since yesterday afternoon so I went straight to the cafeteria which I was shown yesterday.

It was quite early and not many students were around, so I ate my breakfast peacefully. Assembly for orientation will be in the afternoon so my first objective is to meet with the High which. I am a bit anxious, I have only heard great things about her from my grandfather. She was a 'good friend' according to him, so my interest is piqued. I am curious about the life my grandfather led from someone close to him.
"He is so secretive,"  I whispered.

I went to my room to organize and read through the school handbook. It had a strong history and it also got funded by the king but the academy was independent from the state base on an ancient and binding agreement. I went to find the High which, this meeting was overdue but she won't be available until after assembly. Bummer, might as well get some sleep, I was still tired. In no time I was in la la land.
