I glance at Freya, then Demeter, "I don't know what to say, this is happening so fast that I..." I trail off as I seriously think about my options. On one hand, if I turned down their offer then I was homeless with nowhere to go. The other option is that if I stay, I have a new home, a new school, a new beginning. I take a deep breath before finally answering their question, "I would love to stay here with you two."

Demeter and Freya release my hands before sandwiching me between them in a giant hug. When they hear me slightly gasp in pain they quickly let me go. I smile gratefully as Demeter continues to heal me.

"I'm sorry, I totally forgot about healing you. Don't worry though, it should only take a few more minutes, okay?" Demeter says apologetically. I smile reassuringly and nod.

Once she finishes healing me, I stand up and stretch experimentally. Not finding any pain, I smile and look at Demeter, "Absolutely no pain, you're truly amazing!" I laugh softly as Demeter blushes.

The headmaster stands up, clearing his throat, gaining all of our attention. "Keeisa, I'm pleased to hear that you have decided to stay with us." He smiles before turning his attention to Freya and Demeter. "Girls when you get Keeisa all settled in; please bring her to my office, okay?"

"Yes, Headmaster" Freya says as she hands me a bundle of clothes. "These are for you to get changed in to. I smile gratefully at her as the headmaster leaves. Freya turns to me, "You can get changed over here," she walks over to the bathroom, opening the door. "Afterwards, we'll show you around the school and stuff."

"Sounds like a plan!" I walk into the bathroom, closing the door firmly shut behind me. I finally look at the clothes they gave me; a black pair of leggings, paired with a white baggy shirt. I shrug before putting them on then stepping out of the bathroom.

"Do you they fit alright? Sorry that they're not really stylish or anything, it's all the infirmary had." Freya said apologetically.

I shake my head, "No its okay, it's better than nothing." I laugh as Demeter nods her head approvingly.

"Now that you're changed, how about we give you the grand tour of our school?" Demeter inquires as she grabs her bag.

"Yeah, that would be great." I said smiling, "Where to first?"

"Well, I suppose this is new so..." Freya says jokingly, "this is what our school hallways look like. Ta-Da!" she laughs softly to herself.

I smile as I look around the hallway, noticing the stone walls, and wooden doors. "This place reminds me of an ancient stone castle."  They both nod in agreement to my comment before taking me into the dining hall.

"This is the dining hall." Demeter says in a fake automated voice, we all laugh then she continues normally, "So it's pretty much like a cafeteria, you can pick up snacks, and they serve three meals a day. Most students do this, but Freya and I just eat at home."

"Oh alright, that's pretty simple." I say as we leave the dining hall. We go down another hallway until we reach a bunch of classrooms. Freya holds open the door to one of the classrooms; I smile at her in thanks as we walk in.

"Oh wow..." I say awed. "This is amazing." Looking around the room, my eyes are immediately drawn to a skeleton of some type of animal hanging from the ceiling. "Absolutely enchanting..." I mutter to myself. Taking my eyes off the skeleton I notice all the books casually laid throughout the classroom, the desks all lined in a row and paintings displayed all over the room.
