Craig and I are riding a bus downtown, we are with the strange people that came knocking at our door. I'm holding hands with Craig, for he is the only one I can stand to be in my life and I'm afraid of these new people. I don't know where they are taking us, Craig is softly whispering in my ear "Shh, shh, shh everything will be okay" but I know it won't be, I have the worst gut feeling that something awful is going to happen.
When we step off the bus it is night time, we are blindfolded and are then made to walk what seems like miles on a footpath. When we reach the destination they lead us inside, where they take our blindfolds off. The room is magnificent, it looks like a ball room with beautiful chandeliers hanging from the roof and a platform that looks like it was meant to be for a stage. I start to question myself, why did they make us wear blindfolds here, what do they want to do to us?
Suddenly the whole room changes it's not like it was, so beautiful, it's now dark and ugly. I'm confused and now I realise that the magnificent room was just an illusion and this place is only an old warehouse or so I think.
"Good to hear Victoria that you have figured out that the beautiful ball room that you just saw was an illusion" A voice that I don't recognise explains.
They can hear my thoughts too now I'm scared. I look around for Craig he is beside me his hands rigid it looks like he is in pain. Then I start to feel excruciating pain, it feels like my body is on fire with needles going everywhere and as soon as it starts it stops. There must be some witchcraft going on here.
"Well it seems, that you two vampires passed the test, you can't block our mighty powers and you question your surroundings. We will accept you into the league of shadows."
I should feel happy but I don't there is something seriously wrong about this.
"Victoria, stop questioning our efforts and our motives, there is nothing wrong with us we are only harmless witches, warlocks and vampires here, trying to do a world of good by killing those who are harming human and the underworld society"
There he goes again questioning my thoughts he must be the head vampire, witchy, warlock thing. More people come into my line of vision, I start to relax maybe this isn't a bad thing after all.
We are led into another room where people are learning to fight. The person who has been speaking to us says "This is where you two will be trained, you will not go out till you have permission and we will provide feeders for you through that door" he points to a door to the left of the room. "Another thing the dorms are through that door, I can see that you two share a relationship or bond together so I've arranged a room for you two to share. Oh and forgive me for not introducing myself I'm Christopher Black, head of this place"
My heart rejoices Craig and I are going to be able to share a room and I might have a new family member I can't believe it. I don't think Craig can either, his eyes light up and I then know from then we are meant to be together...

Christopher offers if we need any help he is always available as we are walking to our dorm. It's like being in boarding school again the only thing is I actually have a friend, which happens to be my boyfriend as well. We walk into a dorm, I have now realised that this place was as beautiful as I once thought. There is a massive bed in the middle of the room and a bathroom off to the side, complete with a spa bath and double shower. I stare at the room in awe, like Craig does; we both can't believe it is so beautiful.
"Only the best for my daughter, Victoria" I look at him in disbelief he cannot be my father no way, I would have known. I was excited at the thought of a new family member but not a father maybe a cousin would have been better more easy to cope with.
"NO!!! You cannot be my father" I shout, he looks at me as if he wants me to calm down.
"Look in the mirror, darling, and you will see the resemblance between me and you" I look out of curiosity and he is right there is a lot of resemblance even in my eyes which I thought were unique like no others.
"Look, we do have a lot of resemblance but I'm still not sure can I call you Christopher?" I timidly ask not wanting to believe that this person is my father.
"Sure you may Victoria, I will leave you two to it." Christopher says as he leaves the room I run into Craig's arms this day has just been too much to bear for me. I'm so scared and worried and I can't believe I still have some relative living and he happens to be my father. Like oh my god wow...
