"Principal Blackwood" Melody called looking like she was about to complain.
"Yeah, I know and that's why I made her your roommate take good care of her" And with that, he turned around and walked away.
Melody made way for Nyx to walk into the room. Nyx looked around the room, the walls were decorated with pictures of pop stars from different countries around the world. The empty bed in the room was at the far left end of the room and Nyx headed there, placing her bags at the corner of the bed.
"I'm Melody Tidecaller and you?" Melody asked.
"Nyx Shadowmoon" Was Nyx reply.
"I'm sorry for my reaction earlier, I was just shocked, I had never heard of a demon - wolf hybrid" She explained.
"It's alright but why is it a big deal that I'm an hybrid?" Nyx asked.
"It's an abomination, a stain to the pure bloodlines of both the Demons and wolves…"
"I'm sorry if I'm being too harsh and blunt but that's the truth."
"It's because of the blood feud and stuffs, I'm still learning about that though but you would be shunned at by both the Demons and wolves" Melody said.
"So what are you?" Nyx asked after a while.
"A siren" Melody replied.
"And how does that work?" Nyx asked again. She wasn't wrong for wanting to know a little more of her new life. Right?
"We should go on a tour round the school, we have…" She stopped to look at her watch. "About two hours till dinner, just enough time for the tour, I would tell you more on the way" Melody said and set her guitar carefully beside her bed.
"A siren power is her voice, she commands you on what to do and you have no other choice but to do it, it's what scientist call hypnosis but here, no medical surgery or whatsoever is carried out, it's pure command" Melody smiled.
"Hi Melody" A student called and she waved at her. That had been going on since they started the tour.
"You seem popular" Nyx pointed out the obvious.
"A little" Melody laughed.
"This is the Demons chambers and this right here is the demon prince Court" Melody explained as they walked. She pointed out different packs meeting points and their times, the wolves dormitory, the nature lab and even the witches coven, she showed her the fountain where sirens practiced their mermaids skills.
"There are a whole lot of rules in the school but let's start with the ones that would threaten your safety when broken" Melody began.
"First, don't wander into the vampires chambers at night if you don't want your precious blood to be sucked out of you" She made a face.
"Stray wolves on full moons are considered dangerous and should be reported immediately while keeping a safe distance, do not on any account interrupt a dragon's flight"
"We were told sirens are not allowed to command fellow students but who cares" She chuckled revealing her set of pearly white teeth. She beckoned onto a junior student who immediately rushed to her.
"I command you, go down on your knees and bow thrice" She commanded while looking into the junior eyes. And the junior's complied immediately.
"Told ya" She smiled and walked past the kneeling student.
"Sounds fun" Nyx said.
"It is"
She showed Nyx the infirmary, the various teachers office and the lecture halls. They were about heading to the training field when the bell was rang.
"Hungry as hell" Melody muttered and literally dragged Nyx towards the dinning hall.
Word had spread that a demon - wolf hybrid was in school and when she walked in, murmurs traveled round the hall.
"It's alright" Melody assured and she nodded.
She was never going to rest, was she?
"You should be sitted with either the Demons or wolves but since none would accommodate, you would sit with my little circle of friends" Melody said and pulled her to a smaller table where a group of five was sitted.
"Meet Finn, the only ghost that can't stay ghostly for five minutes" Melody said and the group chuckled.
"Here is Amelia" Nyx turned to look at the girl whose hair was filled up with snakes.
"Here's Miguel, a freaking dragon that gets air sick, and hasn't had a proper flight since he was born, this is Larry, an avain that controls only bees and Zara, our blacksmith, she produces weapons that doesn't exist, emphasis on doesn't exist, she's good though" Melody finished introducing them.
They just looked like a group of friends that were all abnormal including her, people that had been outcasted from their different species with Melody being the only normal one or was she?
"I'm Nyx Shadowmoon" Nyx said.
"The infamous hybrid" Larry said.
"Girl, you're cool" Zara exclaimed with a bright smile.
Gbam!
Their table shook as Nyx immediately recognized deadly energy approaching her.
Nyx and the group looked up to see a group of people standing before their table. Seemed like Demons.
"An hybrid. Abomination" The leader of the group spat out. Her dark hair was packed into a loose ponytail with strands of stray hair adorning her face. She looked wild and fearless.
"I'm Nyx Shadowmoon and you?" Nyx set down her fork, her hands shook softly - just enough for no one to notice - and she hid it perfectly. She was not going to appear weak. Enough of being the weak one.
"I'm Scarlett Bael, daughter of Duke Bael the first, Demon princess of the third circle from the Obsidian circle, but I bet those titles means nothing to someone like you, someone not supposed to exist, a stain to the pure bloodline of the Demons" Scarlett ended her speech with a snort.
FUCK YOU!
"Scarlett!" Melody called through gritted teeth.
"What, Melody? Tired of hearing the truth about your little roommate?" Scarlett smirked.
"What's going on here?" Nyx head turned towards the new comer.
Broad - shouldered, wide chests, 6ft and blue eyes - the color of the sky, his voice traveled over the hall sending other werewolves cowering in fear.
"Alpha Orion" Scarlett drawled, her smirk not leaving her face. "Here to also contest for the hybrid?"
Alpha? Her first day in school was getting better. Were Alphas not the greatest of all werewolves?
"Scarlett, that's enough, you should back off" Orion warned.
"Make me" Scarlett scoffed. "I'm just saying the truth, she's an abomination, not supposed to exist, now let me ask you hybrid, deep in your abominable heart, which side draws to you most, the demon fire or the wolf stupidity" The demons that lined behind her erupted unto laughter.
"Cousin, what's going on here?" Another voice sounded, like silk over sheet, his voice dripping with disdain.
The Demons behind her fled immediately, the courageous Scarlett shuddered and all eyes in the hall turned towards the door.
And Nyx eyes beheld the most handsome boy she had seen. His flowing, dark long hair, his fiery red eyes, shadows clinging to him, dressed in black cloak. And he was definitely 6'5ft.
He approached their table with the nobility only royalty possess. A glass of red wine swirling between his fingers.
"Azazel" Scarlett called. "I was just getting to know our new friend, chatting with the hybrid" She continued.
"This doesn't look like chatting to me" Azazel said as he dropped the glass on the table.
"I was…. I…"She stuttered.
"You are picking on her to make up for your inadequacies" Azazel stated.
"Azazel"
"Cousin" His voice cut through the air dripping with disdain.
The word cousin was supposed to be a title of familial relationship but this served to remind her that she had to rely on the title to be what she was. She was nothing without the title. And Azazel needed to remind her of that.
Azazel turned towards her, his eyes threatening to suck her in.
"I'm Azazel Morningstar" He said simply.
"I'm Nyx Shadowmoon" She replied.
"I know" He smiled slightly. "You have managed to make yourself popular in less that 24 hours"
"My pleasure" Nyx smiled "So no titles attached to your name?" She asked.
"Azazel Morningstar is title enough" Azazel stated and that was true.
"Thanks for helping" Nyx said.
"You should learn to stand up for yourself, that's what being a demon is all about. Defiance, Fire" Azazel said and Nyx nodded.
"Azazel, you shouldn't be talking to the hybrid, father wouldn't want that" Scarlett said, her voice carrying a tinge of warning in her desperate attempt to be noticed.
"Cousin" The disdain was noticeable and Scarlett shuddered.
"You shouldn't be telling me what to do, and next time you want to be noticed by pulling this up again, know this, demon nobility doesn't answer to little morguels like you" His voice was soft, the disgust loud.
"Finally something interesting in Elmswood" He muttered and with a light smile at Nyx, shadows covered him and he was gone.
"Alpha Orion" Orion stretched out his hands for a handshake, she took his hands in the handshake and she could feel warmth flowing down her spine. She felt protected.
"Nyx…"
"We all know" Orion smiled.
"You're welcome to our pack whenever you want or are ready" Orion said.
