Fencing and Poetry

After leaving the ceremony and saying goodbye to Erebus I was on my way to vampire history when Tessa stopped in front of me. "Just so we're clear stay away from Andrew he's mine, but the angel you can have him." She then walked off and I headed to my class. When I walked in I saw that Johanna was teaching the class. "Miss Scarlett I hope you enjoyed the ceremony of Nyx." She said handing me a book for class. "I did it was very interesting, so you teach classes as well as being a high priestess for a school?" I sat down at a desk in the front. "Yes I enjoy teaching it gives me something to focus on when I'm not busy." Soon the rest of the class came in and Johanna began her lecture... After vampire history class I went to fencing class in the gym and there I Erebus moving a claymore sword in fighting motions. He then heard me as I walked to him and he straightened up putting the sword to his side. "Erebus what are you doing here?" I asked and then several kids started walking in along with Johanna behind them. "I believe he wanted to speak with me about something. She stopped next to me and I looked between them completely confused about what was going on. "I know you normally have the students watch shows on how to fence, but since I came here you've been asking me to take on the class and I've decided it would be my pleasure to finally get back to protecting the children of Nyx." Johanna smiled and then she pulled me aside for a moment. "Scarlett I think you coming here has been a real influence on Erebus and I know you've been here for only two nights but keep up the good work." She then left and we all just stood there unsure what to do. "Well as your new teacher I would like you all to pair up with a partner to fence with, I'll pair up with Scarlett." He then handed me a fencing sword and he put up his claymore sword grabbing a fencing sword for himself. I got into fighting position and he looked at me differently. "Is something wrong Erebus?" He shook his head and looked back at me. "No nothing I just didn't think you knew what to do but you seem to know about fencing am I correct?" I nodded and he began the lesson. After the fencing I went to poetry class. When I walked in I saw Andrew and he was reciting a poem from. "Like a dove on wings of a love you fly from me never knowing that I have had dreams of us but alas they are only dreams that flow down a stream of tears." I knocked on the side of the wall and he turned around smiling at me. "Where did that poem come from?" He then closed his book and I saw that he had his name on it. "I made it up it's supposed to be about a man who is in love a woman but she falls in love with someone else and he falls into a deep sorrow." He then moved to the front of the room and in walked a woman with blonde hair that was so long it reached to the small of her back. "Hello you're Scarlett right? I'm your poetry teacher Angela and Andrew here is my assistant he already made the change but I'm not gonna let him take over until I get my letter from my hometown then I'm gonna leave and Andrew will be the new teacher." Other feldgings started walking in and I saw Tessa walk in giving me an evil stare as she went to sit down. I sighed and sat at the back of the room ready to start the class.
