Chapter 4 - I...umm...uhhh

Celestial Academy, tucked away from civilization an academy for vampires, werewolves and angels. creatures you could only see in movies, novels said to be a myth. they didn't exist atleast that's what she thought...no that's what she believed but right now she was standing in the hallway full of them, walking past her like it was another tuesday...for them definitely not for her. 

"hey...."

blinking twice she turned to the perso....creature standing in front of her with a concerned look on her face, gulping down nervously trying to calm herself down "y-yes?" she answered trying to conceal her fear but with how pale her face was she doubted he hadn't noticed something yet 

"so?...."

"so?" 

"what sect are you in...you have to let me know so i can get your badge prepared for you" he said with a kind smile spread across his lips.

'what sect am i in' Emilia repeated the words in her head, there is no way she was going to tell him she was human...she might as well give herself to be eaten alive, her best choice was to lie and buy herself sometime to escape this nightmare.

he said angels had a distinct feature, which is his white hair and light blue eyes. he had already confirmed she wasn't an angel so there are two creatures left to choose from vampires or werewolves. from what she watched in movies vampires also had distinct features but they were good at hiding it to blend with society, it would have been a good choice for her except she didn't have super speed which was the basic ability for a vampire to have and if she claimed to be a vampire she would have to blend in by drinking blood. feeling bile rise in her throat with the thought of drinking blood...'nope hell no'.

the final option was a werewolf, from what she knew werewolves were half human half wolf, meaning they could eat human food plus they live normal human lives until they transformed and from all the novels she read it was highly possible to be a werewolf without a wolf, with that pretending to be a wolf would be the best option for her

"i'm a werewolf" she said quickly noticing his brows drawing together in suspicion, hearing that it turned to a smile "is that so...what clan are you from" he asked catching her off guard

'c-clan?....' she didn't know any wolf clan, closing her eyes she took a deep breathe "im from the moon clan" she answered, counting every second that passed by she didn't know if any moon clan existed she hoped so...her lie depended on it.

not hearing a response she looked up at the angel in front of her, his brows was drawn together in a tight frown 'I'm dead...he caught me...mom i guess if you're in the underworld i hope we will reunite there soon'

"i see.... you're from Bruce's clan" the angel said

"Bruce?" she asked

"you don't know bruce?" he asked with a raised brow

"i....don't" she replied slowly, was she supposed to know bruce...will not knowing him affect her lie, she couldn't take back her words back now it will only raise his suspicion further

watching his face closely, he cocked his head to side "that's a first...he usually is very popular among the girls, lets go to the cafeteria i'll introduce you to your sect leader" he said walking ahead of her 

Emilia behind him let out a sigh of release, 'that was close...i thought i got caught' she thought walking closely behind him

soon they entered into a large cafeteria full of peop....mythical creatures, looking at the large hall Emilia gulped "you got this" she whispered to herself, looking around the hall, she noticed the distinction between sects quite quickly, the angels sat at the far right of the hall they all had white hair. the vampires sat at the far left, she had no idea how she was so sure but for some it made sense that the angels and vampires sat at opposite sides of the hall.

feeling an intense gaze on her from the crowd of vampire she turned to look but she couldn't find anyone looking at her, 'it's probably all in my head' she thought to herself, pushing aside the feeling, following the angel, they walked to the middle of the hall towards the end of the hall. there he sat, alone with his legs crossed staring into the crowd with a grim expression.

Emilia's heart skipped a beat, seeing his otherworldly features, his eyes were grey, deep set focused like he was watching his prey, his jet black hair fell unruly on his face. his arms were folded on his chest, his shirt wasn't fully buttoned exposing his biceps, he folded the hand of the shirt slightly exposing half his arm. he was a feast to the eyes and Emilia couldn't take her eyes off him

"Bruce" the angel before her called him with a bright smile

"Micheal" bruce called back no as excited to see the angel in front of him "what do you want" he asked

"straight to the point i see...well i brought someone from your sect and clan to you" micheal said, stepping to side revealing Emilia standing behind him

Emilia stood back with her head held down 'what if he senses im not a werewolf...why didn't i think of this up till now, I'm cooked'

"and how does she concern me...last i checked you were in charge of new students as the school president" Bruce stated, unamused. his frown getting deeper

"of course....but for some reason bruce, she doesn't know who you are" Micheal said 

hearing those words, Bruce's attention turned to Emilia, making her heart sink to her stomach "what is your name?" he asked staring at her intensely

"I....uhmm....uhhh...." 

"cat got your tongue?"bruce asked "i have no patience for this"

'its not my fault you're so scary' Emilia pouted, avoiding his intense gaze on her, his eyes narrowed "what did you say?" 

"what?" Emilia looked up at him "I...I didn't say anything" 

"with the way you're looking at her of course she'd be scared" Micheal said making the crease on bruce brows deepen 

mustering all the confidence she had she finally said "I am Emilia"
