Vampire High

Chapter 5: we meet again

"we are here" I woke up to the gentle shake of my shoulders and saw Richter motioning for me to get out. I stood up straight instantly. How embarrassing. I fell asleep infront of him. I felt my face warm up as I stepped outside.

Two large black gates with designs of roses and thorns and with the lettes S.V greeted me. The air was thick and it was getting dark. The sun was almost seeting and there were fluffs of purple and orange scattered here and there above the sky.

"this way" Richter escorted me throught the gates. There were two strange men on either side of the gate wearing gate keeper uniforms.

I gazed in awe at what lay before me. A garden full of various kinds of flowers with a path carved right in the middle of it by stones that led to a huge mansion like place. There were statues on each side of the path covered with vines and they all seemed to be staring at me.

As I came closer and closer the features of the school started becoming more clear and visible. It was HUGE! However despite the great view form the outside the school itself looked haunted. I paused in my steps and looked at Richter.

"our deal?" I reminded him.

"Of course. I never go back on my words" Richter replied with a smirk.

He then clapped his hands and a huge black bat screeched and flew over my head and perched itself on his shoulder. Richter then flipped his hands in a strange pattern and produced a paper out of nowhere. I stared at him in disbelief.

"sign this contract and you friend shall be set free" He said as he handed me the paper along with a pen.

I signed it without a second thought. Lissa must get out of this horrid place immediately.

I was assigned to a boy and Richter left me from that point on wards. "Ensure that she knows her place" He has said to him. I looked at the boy clearly. He was wearing the school uniform same as mine the only difference was that on his golden tie there was a mark 'R' on the bottom middle of it. He had long messy jet black hair up to his neck and strands of it fell over his perfectly handsome face. His eyes were of a light lavender. Despite his strong features his expression remained grim as he returned my smile with a scowl.

"Iam kevin Andrews. I will be showing you around and telling you the basic rules of this school. However don't think that we can become friends just for this because I have been assigned against my will to escort you and show you around since I am the school president. I don't have any interest meddling with the likes of you" He said in an arrogant tone.

Now , all the nice image of him that I had crumbled right beneath my feet. This guy was the definition of rude!

"Just letting you know... im not here of my free will either, and certainly not glad to be aqquinted with someone like you" I replied.

"hah!" he laughed mockingly. "Anyone would be more than glad to be escorted by me. Girls would give their souls to spend a minute with me" Kevin said as he leaned over to me and poked my forehead.

"You seem to be a rare case" he said with a smirk.

"What do you mean? I certainly don't see anything so special about you" I replied frowning.

"Oh right you don't know. Let me start" Kevin cleared his throat.

"please tell me this will be of use for me in the future , because I really hate long speeches" I sighed.

"be quiet and listen" Kevin said.

"In this school there are different types and different standards of vampires with different abilities. They are ranked from the lowest to the highest class. The lowest class is called the F ranks. The highest are called the royals. They are classed based on how strong their abilities are. The classes also range from royals to the F class.
