I was relaxing in my house studying for my exams tomorrow. I almost finished studying when Nicolas came up and nocked on my door.

"Sir," he said with slight joy, "you've been excepted to the academy, Rose Academy. You are to leave the day after tomorrow."

"Ok. Can you pack my bags please? I need to study for exams," technically I wasn't lying 

"Of course sir. I'll get right to it." I heard footsteps slowly going further and further away from the door until I heard him turn the corner and a few plates crashed, it was Evelin.

I read through my notes a few more times and then headed off to bed. That's when I realized, I have guests coming over tomorrow. They are going to spend the night, so I have to leave for the academy later in the day.

As I was walking down the long hallways to my bathroom I thought about what I would wear the next day. I reached the bathroom and slowly slid across the floor and turned on the water. With a whoosh the water came out. I set my pajamas down on the counter and stepped into the shower.

The warm water was gliding down my back, like gentle tears from a young innocent girl (I️ know. Creepy). It helped me get rid of some stress from paper work. I was thinking about useless things when Nicolas nocked on the door.

"Please let me know when you step out of the shower. I'll come by with blankets and go get your nighttime drink." Nicolas always brings me blankets and a cold glass of milk after my shower. He dresses me and then walks with me to my room, usually while we walk back we talk about important matters.

"Nicolas, tell me. Do you think I'm different?" I looked at my butler with confusion, wonder, and a hint of sadness.

"Not at all sir, you seem to be extremely normal. In a few ways..." He said the last part quietly hoping I wouldn't hear, "So. About the guests coming over tomorrow. You are to leave school early and head home around 10 am. Then get changed and you shall invite the guests in and entertain them."

"Ok Nicolas. Goodnight." I knew my butler 'never sleeps', but it still felt right to say.

"Goodnight young master. Sleep well." Nicolas smiled at me his devilish smile. And of course slowly walked down the hall barking orders to the other severs in the house.

I slept dreamlessly. No thoughts on mind, just joy. For the first time in a long time I felt joy. I felt it when Nicolas talked to me about me being normal. We all know it's not the complete truth at this manor, but we pretend it is. No kids my age live alone, in a huge mansion, with a butler.

Plus the fact that well you already know. I have a tattoo on my back. You may wonder what it is. It is a black tattoo that looks like wings. It covers my whole back. And there's a mark on my left hand. And I have weird powers, so I wear a ring that helps conceal them and gloves. Besides all that, I'm totally 'normal.'
