The New Life

Chapter Seventeen

17VA Fanfic TNB Sequel_Chapter Seventeen

I slept for the rest of the journey. Partly because the restoration had taken a toll on me, and I suspect the atmosphere in the car would be different after the incident. Not that I would know, since I had fallen asleep almost immediately and had woken up in a bed. Squeezing my eyes shut before opening them again, I sat up and look around me. The room I was in looked similar to the one I had in St. Apostle's and St. Vladimir's. I must be in St. Basil's already.

Thinking back to the last time when I first arrived at St. Apostle's, the talk was postponed because we've met with Strigoi. It seems like life really wished for me to have an 'entrance' everywhere I go.

My musing stopped when I remembered the incident mere hours ago. Colt. Where is he?

Pulling the covers back and getting out the bed, I made my way quickly to the door. As I guessed, I was in a school dorm, and the boys were sitting around in the living room.

Being a Queen sort of gives me some benefits; the school dorms I had been staying in was huge. Also, since the dorms along it were linked, they were unlocked so that the boys could have a place to sleep in yet be the closest to me. All in all, I have a gigantic stretch of dorms I can call mine- and of course, shared with the boys. Uncle Eddie tend to disappear with my parents.

The attention of the boys trained on me the moment I stepped out of the room. Maybe the sound of the door opening alerted them, or they were just that vigilant. I think it was a mix of both.

Before I could even open my mouth, Chad spoke.

"Colt is still with your parents. He was a novice in this school, so they're getting records and informing the Court." He said, answering my question without it even being asked.

I smiled at the fact that he knew me so well and nodded.

"Okay." I replied, moving to join them.

"So... Have any of you got to speak to him?" I asked. "And what's the schedule? I assumed everything's gonna be rearranged since I arrived unconscious." I stated.

Chuckles greeted me at my words.

"Nope. But he seemed pretty friendly enough, polite nods and smiles and stuff like that when he followed your parents to the office. As for your schedule..." Chad said, trailing off at the end, twisting about and shuffling papers on the coffee table.

It was then that I realized the table was filled with papers that looked like no fun at all. I eyed them suspiciously.

"What are those?" I asked, to no one in particular, hoping someone will just answer me. Actually, scratch that, I know someone will answer me.

"Paperwork." Macon replied simply, just as Chad turned back around with a paper and hand it over to me.

As my eyes poured over the contents of the paper, the boys watched me. I will be giving a talk, joining classes, train with the boys and trigger and search for their elements. That is for ten days. Then the next four days-blank.

"Erm. Who wrote this up? Why are the last four days empty? And why are we staying for fourteen days? I remember the point was just the talk and to get to know the dhampirs. We didn't stay this long at St. Apostle's." I said.

"Okay, slow down. First, Guardian Castile wrote this, if I'm not wrong. Second, I have no idea why are the last four days empty. Third and fourth, we did stay in St. Apostle's for about ten days, and I have no idea why we are here for so long." Chad replied.

My eyes narrowed, until I thought of a possibility to why we would be staying the extra four days.

"Will we be staying here for all fourteen days or...?"
