Chapter 1

Arrival

I gazed up at the looming building. It looked very gothic with a lot of the windows blacked out and several tall spirals stretched out towards the sky like they were trying to escape. I decided there and then that my new school gave me the creeps. Not a good sign. After the slight interuption, I dragged my bulk of a suitcase up the concreate steps and pushed open the arched door.

The inside of the school was just as gothic as the outside, only more modern. Along one side of the room were three plush, leather sofa's. On the other side was a desk without anyone sat behind it. That's weird I thought, when I rang the headmaster he told me there would be someone waiting for me... Weird. While wondering what I should do seeing as I didn't know my way around yet, a shadow starting moving in the far corner of the room. I gasped and dropped my suitcase. Who was this mysterious shadow? "Do not be afraid my young friend, I won't hurt you." The husky voice echoed around me and I started breathing again.

The headmaster stepped out of the shadows and I stared. I couldn't help it. His Facebook account said he was 50. But the man stood in front of me looked about 20! His pointed face was framed with long, straight silver hair (yes, it was silver... not grey) which was in serious danger of falling into his black eyes. Woah, now I was looking properly I saw he had eyes as dark as a tunnel at midnight. Creepy... He reached me in 2 long strides and picked up my, now crushed, suitcase. Once he had straightened it out he set off at a brisk walk towards the doorway at the end of the room, I had to hurry to keep up with him.

It took us about 5 minutes to get to my dorm, Pizza, and all of that time we walked in complete scilence. I would have said something but my escort really freaked me out with his movements. Instead of walking with some hesitation he practically glided ahead of me without any signs of slowing. Then, without warning, he turned down a long corridor and slipped a gold key into the lock on one of the many doors. If this was my room, I thought to myself, I would never remember where it was! Just as I was about to ask him my query, he pushed open the door and, sat on the floor playing with another girls hair, was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
