'Heidi Black, please come to the principal's office as soon as possible. We have to discuss something of the most important matter, in so little time.'
I rose out of my seat and started walking to the office. I passed several classes, including Kindergarten. This was Songbird Falls Elementary, but what I didn't know was that I was leaving it.
As I walked to the principal's office, a thought managed to get into my head. I've got a very bad feeling about this...
I thought.
I had been at Songbird Falls since I was in Kindergarten, and I was in Eighth Grade with Mrs. Hophosky. She didn't bother when I started dancing on the table to 'Staying Alive' the BeeGees on my iPod. She didn't bother when I started throwing balls of paper around that had 'accidentally' fallen in the sink. She didn't bother when I did ANYTHING! It was heaven.
When I eventually got the principal's office, my parents were in there! What in the world are they doing here?!
I thought. I knew this was going to be bad.
'Hello, Heidi. Sit down and take a peppermint.' Principal Bronwyn told me. He must have knew I LOVED peppermints, so I took five, with a strange look from Mom. Typical.
I loved peppermints since I was very young. Mom acidentally left the peppermint bowl in my reach, on the sofa, in which I could get up since I could crawl. I thought - Oooh, yummy sweeties!
- got up and popped one in my mouth. I suddenly had a burst of minty yummyness in my mouth, so I took another, and another. I took a few until the rest of the bowl was empty. I didn't get told off! I was so cute, walking into the kitchen with the bowl and saying 'Mommy, we need more yummy sweeties!'. Mom bought more the next day, and knew I'd finally found something that I liked eating.
'Right, let's start then! Heidi, your parents don't like you being the school troublemaker.'
'Don't care, never will, 'cuz I love it.'
'Well, they have something to tell you. Go on, then!'
'Heidi, you're going to boarding school.'
'WHAAAT?!' I gasped, shocked. They would never do this to me, would they?
I thought. But I knew this was real.
'There's a lovely place called Black Night Academy which you're going to. It's got full facilities, stuff you'll like.'
'NO WAY! I'm staying right here with all of my mates! I-' I didn't get to finish my sentence as Mom put her finger to my lips.
When I EVENTUALLY got back to class, Sandra patted my seat, eager to hear what happened.
I told her about the lame new boarding school I was going to. We started sobbing together, making our extra-special 'best friends' link with the arm that we had our silver friendship charm bracelets we had since Kindergarten (We never followed the no jewellery and makeup rules).
As I left that day, we couldn't be split.
'Sandra, I promise I will try and Tweet you, Skype you and leave a message on your Facebook wall when I get to the lame boarding school!'
'I promise too, bestie.' Sandra replied, and then we linked our little fingers showing we promised.
As Dad drove our red Ka, Sandra waved, shedding a tear or two while smudging her mascara. I waved with the arm of my bracelet. As Paradise
by Coldplay came on the radio, Sandra slowly faded into the distance.
When I got home, I started packing, but before that, I found my charm bag and added a charm for us going away forever. Sandra and I added a charm to our bracelet for each big event that happened in our lives together. I had black charms, gold charms and rainbow charms.
After all of my packing, Mom told me we had to go then, so we had to drive then. Mom and Dad sang along to the 'club classics' on the radio, while I doodled me and Sandra as vampires sucking blood from geeks.
Heh, imagine if vampires were real! Edward Cullen would be mine... heh heh...
I thought.
On the bus, there were lots of creeps staring straight at me. It was freaky, like I was a freak in a travelling circus! They were the freaks, actually. I didn't want to join those weirdos, so I listened to my iPod. We passed the town centre I loved - Blue Ocean City Centre.
I got so tired that I couldn't help but fall asleep...
I woke up to the bus stopping at a large, dark manor. That was the boarding school. When I got off, the air smelt like blood.
Eww! Is someone having a major nosebleed or something, because I think I'm going to be SICK!
I thought.
The principal came out and welcomed me. He had a funny aroma of blood, like the air. Then there was a female vice principal who came to show me around and my dorm. I was placed in a single dorm. She gave me a card with the school's internet passcode - I expected she knew I had a Macbook. Typical vice principals.
As soon as she was gone, I started unpacking. After everything was unpacked, I plugged in my Macbook's charger into the socket by a desk and switched it on. I then typed in the internet passcode: VAMP4012.
Vamp? I so had to figure out what it meant. I searched up 'Vamp' and the first thing it came up with was... vampire.
Suddenly, everything clicked into place - the dark manor, the scent of blood, the hypnotic stare, the internet passcode, and suddently I realised.
THIS PLACE IS FULL OF VAMPIRES!
I thought. Probably like Edward Cullen... dreamy and hypnotic.
Then, a maid with black hair came in. She was shy, and smelled like rose cologne - not blood! I was not the only person in the school who was not a vampire!
'Hello, are you Heidi Black?'
'Yes. What's your name?'
'Ally Keyes. I'm the only maid that is not a vampire.'
'I figured that out a few minutes ago. I was nearly sick with the scent!'
'I know. I seriously hate the smell. Try using an air freshener! Anyway, here's your tea!'
'Yum! Jacket Potato! Thanks!'
'Any time. Hey, if you want a refreshment, there's a drink and snack stand in the cafeteria - with fizzy drinks and candy!' Ally called as she went out.
Air fresheners? Where was I gonna find air fresheners! Like there was a Yankee Candle store anywhere near me.
I decided to get up and go to get a bottle of Dr Pepper and a bag of peppermints, but as I went, I saw a little cardboard box on my doorstep with 'FRAGILE' written on the top. I opened it up - and it was a Yankee Candle lamp with matches and a Yankee Candle - 'Vanilla Cupcake'! There was a tag dangling on it saying 'From Ally' on it. Ally must've knew I loved cupcakes! I set up the lamp, put the matches in a (VERY) safe place and went to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, there was a wide choice of drinks and snacks - blood, fruit, Tango, toffee, Fanta, Haribo, Coca-Cola, cookies and others - and Dr Pepper and peppermints! I took them and went back upstairs to my dorm. Sure enough, Ally had left me my mail - forwarded from my parents. I read my We Love Pop
magazine and then got ready for bed.
Passing the dorms, I heard a lot of giggling. Also, someone had 'accidentally' left a frilly pink pair of knickers out. I sniggered as I passed the knickers.
Once I had done my teeth, I locked my door and went to bed - with my red heart light on. It looked so cool.
My new home for now... I thought. I wonder how Sandra is!
One thought was in my mind all night - I've got to know more about vampires...
That was on my mind so much - I decided to go and look more into vampires - by going to the library!
After my breakfast of bacon sandwiches, I went down to the library. The vampire shelf had loads of books - but I picked up The Vampire Dictionary - Types and Side Effects
.
There were loads, but my eye caught three.
Lyxa
: A very powerful vampire. Many female Lyxas are bitten by males. If a Lyxa bites someone of their same gender, the bitten will become a Whisperer. Can create and control a Hypnotica.
Side Effect: If several Lyxa sucks blood very rapidly, the human can die.
Hypnotica
: A hypnotised vampire formed by two Lyxas (or Whisperer) biting it at once. Can be commanded by a Lyxa and only drinks sacrificed blood.
Whisperer
: A wandering vampire who stays with a human of their opposite gender.
Side Effect: Stilliah - Can charm humans to lie still.
I knew there were vampires of all three kinds here. Of course there were Hypnoticas. I saw them on the bus.
When I walked back to my dorm, a male came up to me. He smelt of blood. I was getting used to the scent now.
'Hello. Are you Heidi Black?'
'Yeah. Who are you?'
'I'm Daniel Peterson. I'm a Lyxa. You're human - It's very rare in this school. Beware of the Whisperers... I'll protect you from then, Bad Girl.'
'Oh... thanks, Daniel.' I replied. Wow - a protector already! Daniel's a Lyxa... he could have bit me there and then, but he didn't.
That night, there was a knock on my door. It was Daniel. He wanted to talk about something.
'Heidi, I have something to tell you. You have two choices here at Black Night. You can become a Lyxa and survive, or die.'
'Oh! Woah - vampire or death... hard... I'll think about it.'
'Okay, Heidi. You have until the full moon - a month. Just a word of warning - I'm very persuasive.' he said and
