Power in Death: Book 1 of The Destiny in Death Series

Escorted To The Classroom

I woke up to Sebastian poking me in the side. Murder was all I could think of at that moment in time. I groggily opened my eyes and looked at the time, ugh 7pm. I was not a morning person and decided to hide under the blankets for just a little bit longer. The nudging in my side never stopped though and it was accompanied by him singing. Yeah, he was a good singer but he was singing, "I know a song that gets on your nerves..." Over and over again. I screamed like a child and threw the quilts away and dead eyed Sebastian who was knelt on the bed with a grin on his face. God he was sexy, but I wanted to rip him apart right now. Wait, he's in my bedroom? "Sebastian, how the hell did you get in here?" I all but screeched. "Well you're not very good at defending against vampires love. You left the window open," He said in a droll tone. Face palm, I need to have a nightly check of my room to make it vampire proof and other supernatural proof too.

I jump out of bed and open some draws hoping to find a uniform like to guys' wear. I open the wardrobe door and I'm immediately greeted with a couple of pairs. They're all skirts for the girls uniform it seems but I'm kind of excited about rocking the gothic uniform regardless. Well as excited as you can be in my technical prison. Sebastians just stands watching me from the side of the bed still.

I feel his eyes follow my every movement and it'd be sexual if I didn't feel like a bunny rabbit in a room with a tiger. I ignore it, heck I ignore him all together. It will take too much time to wrangle him out and class starts in an hour but I need breakfast first. Oh, I forgot, I don't need to eat. Guess that means I can have more sleep time. "Why are you even here?" I ask Sebastian on the way to my bathroom. Before he replies there is a knock on the door. I huff and go to open it. I hear Sabastian muttering about damn wolfs so I figure out who it is before I open the door. Cole stands there, his frame is wider than the door and he's taller than it too. Poor guy, must be awkward. Nope, do not feel sorry for the enemy Alex. I huff and say, "what do you want?" He blinks his ocean eyes at me that are framed with dark full lashes and says, 'to get you.' Of course, he doesn't say it in the normal way but in my head instead. 'get out of my fucking head' I seethe internally at him and he must hear me because he winces. "Sorry, it's just... It doesn't matter, sorry." He mumbles the last part.

I almost feel bad but I mean man, it's not cool to talk in someone's head, wait... "Can you hear my thoughts in general?" He shakes his head in no which at least makes it a bit better. "I can only hear what you direct at me." He says out loud. "Where are we going before class?" I ask them both. "Schedule," Cole gruffly replies. Not much of an articulate talker, I guess. He talks more than Ward does, mainly because Ward hardly talks at all. I forgot about my schedule so I'm glad they mentioned it to me. I nod my head, gesture for them to sit and go to the bathroom. I don't have any make-up but I don't need it anymore. I wish I had some contacts though to cover up the freaky eyes. I go through my washing routine and dress in the clothes the academy provided me. Theres no full-length mirror in here but the skirt is a tartan of dark reds, a black shirt and maroon blazer and tie. Theres the triangle of thorns of my left breast. They also came with some knee-high socks which I don on and love. There' some simple black shoes but I opt for my clogs. I wipe them down though first to get rid of the dirt caking them.

Once I'm ready and I've given myself a bit of a pep talk I exit the bathroom. Sebastian licks his lips whilst appraising my uniform, Cole looks at me in a similar way but a bit more feral? I mean I get it; I did the same to them when I saw them in their uniforms the first time but I hate blushing and I'm doing it right now. I clear my throat and gesture for us to leave. I lock the door behind us and look at the hallway on each side of me. I have no idea where to go.

Sebastian links his arm with mine, I hear Cole grumble behind us but that's about it. He's cold, really cold but it doesn't bother me. I hate how good it is to touch him. We walk down the hallway which is super empty which I don't like, makes me feel like I'm in a haunted building. On that note, I wonder if ghost exists? Nope, don't even let your mind spiral, that's a super creepy idea. I can adjust to a lot of things but there is just something about ghosts that goes through me. We go down the main lobby staircase and there's still no one in sight. "Why aren't there any students?" Cole on my right says, "Only first years have to go to the morning class." We start to descend the staircase and I start spotting the odd student as we veer left off the stairs and into another hallways.

Before we walk down it, Sebastian turns me to the right where there's a small desk with a lady sat at it. She looks just as young as all the other staff do bar that one guy that escorted me to my room. She smiles a venomous smile at me and pulls out a few papers which she practically throws at me. Well literally throws at me. Cole growls and she startles at the sound. Her eyes lower and she mumbles a sorry as I scramble to pick up the papers. Sebastians and Cole join me and help me get them together. I find my schedule and flick my eyes over it.

There are literally only two classes which repeat five days in a row and that's it. General history at 8am and then combat class at 1pm. Sebastian and Cole look over my shoulder. "Must be because all the other classes are specialised for what race you are. We don't know yours love so I guess they just parred you off until they do. Lucky," Sebastian says with a cute pout on his face. I giggle. Oh lord, I fucking giggled. Clearly, I did lose my sanity. Sebastian looks at me funny before he smirks and turns us away to go down the corridor. I feel eyes on me. Not in the good way that I feel with the guys but in a prodding and curious way. I mean all the student look at me like this as well. Theres not many of them but they are all staring at me in shock, confusion, anger and the list goes on. None of them pleasant. Oh fuck, this is why I don't like school. This is way scarier though than normal school. Theres a guy with horns looking at me in utter disgust, I'm tempted to hide behind the guys but I can't survive doing that so I straighten my spine. I flip him off and prance on ahead.

An arm snakes around my waist and I almost scream until I hear the familiar, "Wrong way," Adam says, still holding onto my mid-section from behind. The orchestra of butter flies commences. I break away from him and march back where I came from where Cole, Sebastian, Eden and Ward are standing. I hear Adam chuckling behind me which I thoroughly ignore. I ignore them all in fact. Cole rests his hand on my lower back and steers me into the classroom they are all stood next to. His hand is boiling, I can imagine on a cold winter's night snuggling into him for warmth. I stop that thought immediately and hastily stab it away from my mind.
