'You've got quite the mess to clean up don't you?' The voice almost poking fun at me.

It wasn't even my fault!

I looked down at the dead girl in the hall, her throat bitten through and her head practically falling off her neck.

Her blood was all over my hands and that was only because I just pulled her pants back up. Whoever did this was very crude in his actions because he definitely got his way with her.

Stepping back, I went to gag but stopped when a kid came walking by "Go call someone for help." I said to him in a rush and watched his wide horrified eyes hurry off.

God this is horrifying.

Kneeling down with her, I reached into her backpack grabbing out her ID and reading her name: Natalia Verskots.

Poor Natalia. Verskots...I think that's my next second professors last name. I really need to learn their names before tomorrow.

I sighed, and wiped my hair from my face with the back of my hand.

"Step back from her!" The teacher shouted and I stood, stepping back and holding the girls ID out, "I found her only moments ago. I'm sorry." I said looking to Professor Verskots. It was clear she hadn't really looked at the girl long enough to notice it was her daughter, by the amount of blood though it would be sort of difficult.

She took the card and eyed it softly before dropping to her knees.

Quickly picking her up from falling onto her face, I eyed the loss in her face "My baby girl." She cried reaching out for her daughters corpse.

Of all the professors to call, the dumb kid sends her?! Seriously?! She let out a loud and heart breaking cry that echoed in the empty hall.

A couple other professors entered the hall abruptly and I watched them each react horrified "Come with me. What's your name?" Asked my first professor, the milf.

"Annalise Dragoš." I said softly watching as she eyed me for a while before nodding.

I handed professor Verskots to another professor and gave Natalia a last glance following my first professor.

What was her name?

Professor Myers...that's right. A real human last name.

I followed her to the principles office and as she knocked, she headed in for a few moments before coming back out and guiding me inside.

I went inside and took a seat across from the beautiful older woman. She looked stunning with her big green eyes and long brown hair, small grey hairs peeking through.

"Annalise, would you like to explain what you were doing?" She asked.

Nodding, I looked down at my bloody hands "I was dodging a kid and turned down the hall to avoid him and being seen together since one of my friends hates him." I started but she smirked "You were avoiding Koda Nysrough because Jameson Nysrough does not approve of you being around him." She filled In eyeing me.

I stared at her for a while before she nodded "I'm the head mistress of this academy dear, I know everyone's friends and enemies." She eyed me over drinking her tea. I wasn't sure if she was hinting at something or not, part of me hoped she wasn't. I don't have the energy or time to search for hints right now.

Of course, "Well I turned and saw her limp body on the floor, her pants were pulled down and so I began pulling them up but the blood was everywhere. I sat her up and she was barely breathing, but then she just stopped." I said looking to the head mistress.

"Her pants were down? I'll have her body checked for a semen sample. Anything else you can remember?" She asked.

I shook my head "Other than my own shock no. I'm sorry if me pulling her pants up ruined any evidence, I just thought she shouldn't be remembered that way. It's bad enough her head was barely hanging on." I said calmly.

She nodded "I'm sure her mother appreciates that. Keep this between the two of us though. I'm sure the news of her daughter being sexually assaulted before being killed would be devastating." She spoke trying to compose herself.

Then she stood and smiled down at me "You know you look just like your mother. It's almost as if she's still here." She softly spoke.

Shock overwhelmed me, and I eyed her with a confusing look "You knew my mom?" I asked her afraid she'd disappear. Every time I got even a centimeter close to finding out about my parents it just vanished. The papers I found three years ago containing my birth certificate burnt in my hands the moment I read my own name.

She nodded "Of course. I know every vampire who exists or existed. Go eat, your last class is in thirty minutes." She shooed me off and although I had a thousand questions, the sight of Natalia's blood on my hands made me change my priorities. I'm sure she wouldn't even tell me right now, especially with the death of a student on her campus, I might have to try again another time.

"Thank you." I said quietly as I headed to the door, pulling it open.

"I'll tell you all about her when you're ready to know Anne." She said as a last statement. I'm sure it was to close the topic entirely until she was ready to bring it back up.

Hurrying straight to the restroom, I washed off all the blood from my arms and hands, and the small amounts on my face. I fought myself from throwing up and held myself together as best as I could.

Making my way to the dinning hall, I slowed my hurried pace as the sound of moaning filled my ears.

I stood by the door listening to the ruffled sounds and heavy breathing. Not wanting to be nosy, I went to step back and go back to my walk, but as the door opened, I eyed the handsome brunette.

He looked me over and then headed past me to the direction of the dinning hall. Goodness he's handsome.

The girl stepped out afterwards, she continued straightening out her skirt and stumbled a bit landing right into me.

I caught her and helped her stand straight receiving a smile, but as I realized who she was, I suddenly wished I let her fall.

"Anal-ise." She said smirking as she eyed me over, my blood boiling in annoyance at the fact she already has a nickname for me.

Had I not had her in my second class, I probably wouldn't have given her a second thought. As Roxy straightened her hair out she smirked.

I eyed the back of the hottie who was just walking off to the dinning hall, "You couldn't find a classier place to fuck the pinhead? I mean he's cute, but seriously, you should try some self respect. It would look great on you." I said before turning and walking to the dinning hall.

As if Cuntzilla wasn't enough of a bitch, I've got Roxy too.

This is going to be a long four years.
