The Assassin's Alpha Mate

5. Start of something new

*Rae's POV*
Eventually we stopped running and paused in another clearing. Peter and Lilly, or actually Shadow and V, turning towards me as they pulled apart two bushes
"Welcome to the Assassin's Academy! I'm sure you'll just love it here and maybe we can get the same timetables or even dorms?!" Squealed the very excited Lilly.
As I peered through the holy bushes I followed the winding path through the trees up to a castle like building. It's red bricks stood in neat rows and the blue roof was carefully covered with trees to avoid detection. All up the walls there were loads of little windows. There were four turrets on each edge of the building and hallways connecting them.

"Each of the four towers have a different name. There's Shadow, which is the one of the ones on the left, and Silent, which is the other left one, - they're the boys dorms and Peter is in Shadow. I think his tower sorta influenced his assassin name, don't you think Peter?! Then the girls dorm is called Silhouette, it's the best and we always have the best midnight feasts! I think it's a shame that there is only one girls dorm, women can be just as powerful and if not more than men! The last tower is the teachers rooms called Secret but we're not allowed in them hence its a 'secret'. Your dorm is kinda like your house, we do competitions in them, each lunch and also do most classes in them unless your in an advanced one or in a private one." Explained Lilly.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in, I'm glad that I met you guys or I'd be completely lost! You may have to keep reminding me of all that info though because I have a pretty awful memory." I answered.
"No probs, we should really be getting you to the office about now so you can find out your dorm and training regime." offered Peter.
"Sure, you coming Lilly?" I asked.
"Ok"replied Lilly, she seemed a little distracted though I wonder what that's all about?

The pair then started heading towards the big house with me following closely behind. As we walked through the grounds I noticed all of the different signs pointing to different training spaces. There were things like 'sparing grounds', 'gym', 'cross country obstacle course', 'supernatural lessons', 'target practise' and 'virtual missions'. This place sounded very high equipped! Soon we got to the main building, it was even bigger up close. Lilly then scanned a little badge on a tiny panel that you definitely had to be looking for to know where it was  and the large wooden doors swung open. We carried on down the empty corridor, passing some classrooms with students hard at work.
Then, a loud riiiiiiiinnnnggg went and there was suddenly a lot of movement all at once. The pair grabbed each of my hands and tugged me into a room and slammed the door shut. Just after that happened you could hear madness going on outside.  Peter leaned up against the door as it was shoved and pushed, the once quiet hallway sounded like a pack of elephants were running up and down it a couple of hundred times. The same annoying bell soundedand it all went silent once again.
"What. Was. That!" I shrieked.
"Oh, that was just the school bell." Replied Peter, as calm as Larry.
"Just the school bell!" I carried on screaming. Once I had settled down a bit I asked "If it was just a school bell then what was all the fuss with the sudden 'dragging me into an empty room'?"
This time Lilly spoke, "well you see, you still smell a bit of a rogue and these kids are trained to kill you so there is just a bit of an issue!!"
"All clear" said Peter after poking his head out of the door, "now let's get you to the office and quick before there are any more problems."

We managed to get a couple of meters down the corridor without any incidents and bustled into the rather small office. Behind the even small desk sat a little lady tapping away at the computer. Once we had entered she perked up and asked, "Lilly, Peter, why on earth have you brought a stinky rogue into my office? We thought you knew better, even a first year wouldn't do something like this!"
"We found this girl when we were on patrol and tried to kill her but she was very fast. It took both me and Peter trying the hardest moves possible to bring her down. After that she told us her story, it was so sad that we thought she deserved a second chance and that maybe she could learn to become an assassin, she already has the speed bit mastered? Please ma'am?" Begged Lilly, I never thought she wanted me this much!
"Well then children, if you two, as high ranked assassins, think she is reliable then I trust you. I will have to speak with the principle but there shouldn't be too much of an issue. For now she can stay in your dorm Lilly, go and get her settled and then take her to the assessment room so we can find her skill. Here's your timetable love, good luck." Said the lady, I think I like her! She handed me a schedule and then turned back to her computer.
"Come on then Rae! Let's go to our dorm! See you later at training Peter" Stated Lilly bossily. With that we started to walk, actually I got dragged, down the hall to some stairs while Peter wondered the other way.
"Bye Peter, thanks" I called, although he probably couldn't hear me.
