The night of August 29th, 1893

"Almost there Miss Victoria, about another 2 minutes"

"Okay!" I told the coachman as I continued reading my book "Carmilla"

It was a book written only about 22 years ago, about a female vampire, lurking in the shadows for blood, of course, vampires aren't a real thing, though it's rather fascinating to listen to.

"We've arrived Miss." The Coachman says, opening the door for me with his hand out, ready to escort me out of the carriage. I took his hand and stepped out cautiously of the carriage and took a look around me in the rain "Notre Dame Cathedral, tis' very beautiful." I spoke to myself, looking at the buildings' beautiful architecture.

"Thou must be Victoria?" A woman approached, she had beautiful teal-colored eyes, but I couldnt see her Hair color through the nun outfit she wore. "Yes, that is me" I smiled.

"Welcome to the Notre Dame Cathedral Night school, I'm Sister Bustier and I'll be the teacher during the time thou are here." She smiled back at me while tilting her head a little bit, I could notice a small strand fall out of her top, revealing Red hair, she was very beautiful. "Now then, Let's introduce thou to everyone else, shall we?" I nodded my head as I walked with her into the Cathedral, Once the Coachman saw me walk away with her he rode the carriage back home. When we got inside my jaw almost dropped at how beautiful the cathedral truly was inside, it was warm and cozy inside the cathedral and was much bigger than the church Mother use to always take me to in England. "Come along now dear" She spoke as she walked down the long checker-printed floorway, the end being where the rest of the students were at.

"Oh look! it's Victoria!" Marian spoke to Ambrose who turned his head and immediately Hollard my name alongside Lucian, making Felix's head lift in curiosity. "Hello, Victoria!"

"Hey, guys!-" I was cut off by a sudden impact of force. "Victoria!!! Finally! I know a girl who ISN'T boring like the rest of them here!" Cleo said wrapping her arms around me and spinning me around. "I'm glad to see thou too Cleo" I chuckled.

"What'd I'd say? I knew thou'd run into me again" I turned around to see Lucian.

"I guess thou were right Mr. Charming" he chuckled at my comment, which for some reason made me smile.

While talking to Cleo, Lucian, and all the other students I noticed Felix sitting with a girl with long brown hair, and emerald green eyes, she was beautiful.

"Hello! My Name's Lilianna Rossi! I hope we get along Victoria!" She said very energetically, almost too energetically. "It's nice to meet thou Lilianna, I hope we get a lot well too" I smiled at her politely, Marian looked kind of upset to see me speak to Lilianna, I thought it was weird but didn't pay it much attention."Okay class as thou've been hearing, We hath a new student here who has traveled from England to be with us! treat her politley, but I will need someone to show her around the Cathedral, any volunteers?"Looking around the room was atleast 5 hands up, Ambrose, Felix, Marian, Cleo, and Lucian.
"Lucian, what do thou say?"
"I'd be honored Sister Bustier" He smiled before turning to me
"Alrighty then, I expect to see thou back in 30 minutes?"
"Will do!" I said to her before we went on our way.

"And that's all of the bottom floor, but there's another floor that I personally go to all the time. that I don't let her know I go to." Lucian added slyly.
"Ohohoho, Mr. Charming being bad and going places he shouldn't? Who would've thought." I replied jokingly as he led me to this 'forbidden area'.
Once we got there to the 2nd floor he turned around to look at me "Follow my lead sly fox" he said before turning back around and sneaking around on the top floor, we hovered close to the back wall to avoid being caught.

"Close your eyes for this part, It'll be worth it once thou open them again I swear." I did as he said and closed them, letting him control where I went by holding my hand. After a good minute or two he finally stopped.

"thou can open your eyes now"When I opened my eyes, it was beautiful. All of the stars were above us, glistening and twinkling in our presence, a smile formed onto my face once more after seeing this view. "It's wonderful..." I spoke dazed off from focusing on the stars, he laughed watching my face light up from the view. "I think that will be thou new nickname" "What do thou mean?"

"I think I'm gonna call thou my shooting star."I chuckled "why that of all things?"
"Because thou stand out from the rest of the stars in the darkness, and always hath a smile on your face no matter what thou smile and tis' like a shooting star" my smile growing bigger at his words "See! I told thou! little miss smiley pants" he laughed

"Okay fine I do smile a lot"

"Glad thou admit to it" He chuckled as I turned to look at him "We should probably start heading back before she notices-!" I said as I tripped on the floor, and braced myself for impact.

"Are thou okay?" he asked worriedly. "I'm okay just didn't expect to fall on thou was all," I said opening my eyes to see I was on top on him. "Oh, m-my apologies! I didn't expect this to happen at all I-" I was cut off.

He put his hand on my cheek, caressing it softly. "There's that face again, that face of when thou shine brightly." He calmly cut me off, looking into my eyes with a warm, serene grin on his face, something about it just was able to melt away my worries in a heartbeat.

Lucian sat up a bit while I was still stuck on him, and again I noticed that weird feeling I got last time from staring into his eyes. Behind Lucian's eye's wasn't just a pair of blue eyes, there was more to it.

Because behind his eyes laid feeling's I never thought thou could feel all at once.
When I look into his eyes right now all I can't help but feel is protection, warmth, understanding, happiness, and comfort, and I could tell he felt something when looking into mine as well.
with Lucian's hand on my cheek still, I gently put my hand over his hand, leaning more into it, and looked into his eyes, I could've sworn his eyes looked different after a while-
