When I first entered the home, I was awestruck with the massive size of it. There was a grand staircase, and it seemed that almost everything In the house was white-giving it a fantasy glow. I don't remeber how long I stood there before I finally got enough courage to look around the house. I had a thousand questions running through my brain, the first being, where is the headmistress? As if someone was reading my mind (and they very we'll could've been) there was a creaking sound behind me. Startled, I spun around and came face to face with an older woman. She had grey hair, which was pulled back into a tight bun, fair skin, that despite being aged had not lost it's beauty, and the most piercing blue eyes I have ever seen. "Hello, I am Madame Melanie; however, most just call me Mel. I have been the headmistress here for over 100 years, and I am looking forward to teaching you your heritage." She smiled the most genuine smile, everything she did, she did with such grace. "You don't look 100." I state. Out of everything I could say, I have to choose that. Wow. She laughed and began to walk, motioning for me to follow her. As we walked up the stairs she said,"we'll, I am immortal..I have the power of resurgence, I am one of the last few in existence that posses this power naturally." So, this school is the real deal..as cool as it sounds, I had a hard time believing that anyone could bring back the dead. "That's wicked." I say. She stifled a laugh and continued,"over the years, many supernaturals have come and gone; however, lately our numbers are not what they once were. There are 4 other girls here besides you. Haden, a vampire, is a genius, and one of the fairest people you will ever meet. Anna, has a very special gift, she's a nephilim-the last in existence-and she is also very kind, although a bit more on the wild side. Anna Katherine, or Anna kay, is a psychic, and a mind reader, there are no secrets here with her around. You will mostly find her in her dark room, reading books by candle light. Mai, is quite the opposite, she is a party all night sleep all day kind of girl, and she's hardly ever home. However I believe that you two will bond well."
Everything this woman was saying was just all too much, but I couldn't deny that it intrigued me. "Whys that?" I ask curiously as we turn yet ANOTHER corner. "We'll, she's a lycanthrope like you. And we have been waiting for an alpha to come along. Wolves can't hunt very we'll alone." She says as she opens a door. "Wait, so, your telling me that IM an alpha?" I ask, completely astonished. "We'll yes, you are not only the alpha of this school, but the supreme alpha of the entire lycan race." All of this information at one time consumed me, I had so many questions, anxiety was filling me up so much that my teeth were chattering. Mel opened a large door, and inside was a grand bedroom set, that looked to be from the early 18th century, yet beautifully restored. "I know that you must have many questions, but for now let me show you your room. You will find all of your clothing in that dresser, makeup products are in the bathroom. Get a hot shower and let yourself adapt to your new environment. Dinner will be served at 5:30, there, you will meet your fellow housemates." She gave one last smile and walked out. Not knowing what to do, I laid down on the bed, it was absolutely heavenly, the sheets were made of silk and it felt like I was rolling in riches and glory. After my moment of relaxation, I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom. The bathroom was large, and no different than any other part of the house. It was grand and beautiful.
I stood under the shower, letting the hot water wash over my body, cleansing me of all of my im-purifications. Once I got out, I felt re born. I wrapped up in a warm, cotton, towel, and made my way back to the bedroom. As I opened the dresser, I realized that all of the clothes were black, white, or dark maroon. Wondering what to wear, and what the others would be wearing, I chose on a smile white blouse with a bow, and high waisted black pants. I fixed my hair and put my makeup on. When I opened up the medicine cabinet, I saw some pills, and realized that they were sedatives. Muttering a "screw it" I took one and left the bedroom at 5:23, making my way down to the grand kitchen.
