Callista Soul's Story

Callista checked her phone excitedly, seeing that it was finally time to go. She was actually allowed back at school now. After the incident with that vampire, her father, King Soul had pulled her out for her safety, but now she was being allowed to go back. Hearing a knock on her door, she looked up. "Come in!" The door opened and in walked her father in his medieval garb. He always had to dress like that to keep up appearances but Callista was usually allowed to wear what she wanted. She just favored skirts. Today she was dressed in a white halter top and tan miniskirt, her usual out of school outfit. She would put on her uniform when classes began but she felt no obligation to do so now.

"Are you sure you feel okay going back? You don't have to. You can wait another year." Her father asked her cautioningly. She smiled and shook her head. Her father had always been more endearing towards her, not simply because she was one of the oldest and most well-behaved, but because she was the only one who didn't have a mother. "No, I'm ready. Don't forget it was you who pulled me out in the first place." He frowned and shrugged. "I suppose. Well, you better gather your things. Krysta will be here in a moment to take you to the school." He got up then and kissed her head lovingly before exiting the room. Smiling and giving a little leap of glee, she picked up her suitcase and prepared to leave.

It was daytime and she wasn't in her best shape since she was the faerie of the moon, but she was still energized enough to actively engage in school. It was during the New Moon where she couldn't even function, as the vampire girl had discovered way back when. Callista shuddered and forced the memory from her mind. She would never forget, but she could move on.

Once she arrived at the school, She got off the bus along with everyone else and she took in it's familiar landscapes. A girl, who she may have remembered from before but not that much now, spoke about the rules and Calli found herself tuning her out. Then another girl asked a question and she smiled. Calli had asked the same thing her first day at this academy. It was a nicely sized school, with many nooks and crannies in it.

Once the president, Katherine, if Calli remembered that many correctly, answered the girls question, Calli found herself moving forward to speak to the girl. "Hey there, my name is Callista, but you can cal me Calli. What's your name?"

It was a hectic morning for Seth. After getting up from his king sized bed, a bunch of servants came up to inform him that today was the day he went back to the school. Seth half-awake nodded as he went on to do his business in his bathroom. After he washed up and was ready to go, the servant’s words sank in. He was going to school today. Oh how troublesome. Seth put a hand on his yellowish face covering one of his purple eyes. Then scratching his head, he let out a sigh as he opened the door and was bombarded by bunch of servants. “Master” this and “Master” that, it was as if a whole choir was singing in front of him. Some would have liked to have their life handed to them on a platter, but not Seth. Yet he still went through the motions of being a royal werewolf simply to fulfill the expectations of his parents. He dressed up by himself after a struggle for power of his pants between him and the servants insisting to put them on him. Then he headed down stairs passed the halls and the livingroom, to the dining room table where his father and mother were seated. Seth took a deep breath as he stepped into their presence.

“Good morning son.”
“Good morning father.”

And so began the feast. Seth took a seat beside his father as was expected of him. There were nine more empty seats, and Seth could not help but wonder why he could not sit at the end of the table, far away from his father. After a hefty meal, Seth got up and walked outside to wait for the school bus to pick him up. However his father was not pleased with the idea of a royal taking a rugged school bus, and insisted that Seth be driven by one of their servants. After a couple of pleas, Seth had no choice but to get into the SUV, and be driven alone to school. It was no wonder he did not have many friends. Not that he cared.

When the driver arrived on school grounds, Seth requested to be let out in the back where no one would see them. Luckily the driver acquiesced and he stepped out of the car without being seen. After a bow from the driver, he went away, and Seth was left alone. He put his hands together to stretch them out, and let out a huge yawn. It was a relief to be out of the house. He looked up at the blue sky. Then Seth dusted his blazer, put his hand in his pockets, and walked casually to the front where the welcome session would be.

Once at the front Seth noticed a small group forming in front. From a quick sniff he could make out that the group consisted of two faes and a vampire. Oh and they were girls. Girls! Seth was drawn aback for a moment. The president of the student council were shouting orders and directions all which he was familiar with. Then his eyes wandered accidentally towards the blonde fae who took a step backwards towards his direction with a skirt one size too short for her. His face turned bright red, and he quickly averted his gaze at something else. Luckily a demon boy stepped out of the bus and thankfully covered Seth’s view of the girl as he casually walked up to the front and asked a question to the president. The boy wasn’t even wearing a school uniform. This should be interesting. Seth squeezed through the crowd to get a better view of the scene.

Luna sighed in silent joy when they pulled up to the school. The building was huge and beautiful and the sight of it made butterflies in her stomach. Would she make any friends? probably not. She stood up from her seat and followed the line of students off the bus, a soft pink blush inflamed her cheeks as she down casted her eyes. She needed off before she fainted.
When the cool morning air hit her face Luna glanced up as she exited the bus and scurried a little ways from the ground. Luna's light flowery scent filled the air around her though she didnt have a tail and ears because she was out in public, so people will just have to be confused for the time being as she quickly dodged a body of a demon boy she had almost bumped into. She scurried away until there was a good 3 meter distance between her and everyone else then she down casted her bright spring green eyes.
Was it just her or did this skirt seem to short? She didnt know if it was just because of her height or the skirt really was to short but when Luna looked down all she saw was leg. To much in her opinion.
A scent caught her attention as Luna glanced up to see a tall boy come from around the back and her cheeks reddened when she realized who it was. He's a Royal! Darn it.
She quickly looked down at her feet as she listened to the student council president.

Jasper looked at the other two fae, both unsurprisingly upbeat. This is a new world after all, to them at least, and with that came new kinds of pranks. He smiled and nodded at her question about Saph.

"Yea she's like that around a lot of new people. I'm actually kind of scared of what will happen if she gets a vampire roommate or something. I hope she makes a good friend." Phaedra and Calli huh? Interesting. When Calli speaks again it drags him out of his thoughts.

"Is this your guys' first time here? I'd be happy to show you guys around, if you want." She says and he nods, grabbing Saphs hand and pulling her out from behind him, her all to short skirt swishing up in the process. He cuss's under his breath and glares at anyone who noticed. She yelps and blushes, shifting back and forth and gripping on his arm.

"We'd love for you to show us around." He replies. "We've never been to a school before so that would be quite helpful." Sapphire nods and stops shifting, still holding onto his arm though. He smiles kindly at them both.

Sapphire holds onto his arm and looks at the ground, irritated and how short the skirt is. A blush still across her face from her skirt flipping. She notices how her brother talks, and wants to socialize too. Though she doesn't really know what to say.

"Um. . It's nice to meet you guys. I'm happy my brother and I aren't the only fae. . ." She says quietly, fiddling her thumbs.

Calli smiles, "Great! Wow, never before in your life?! This has to be kinda scary then, huh?" The smaller girl, Sapphire, comes out from behind and her short skirt swishes and reveals a little too much. "Oh dear, you might want to ask for a different uniform, Sapphire. Katherine doesn't like it very much if things aren't up to par." Calli turns to Jasper and nods at his vampire comment, having a delayed response but still responding. "Yea she's like that around a lot of new people. I'm actually kind of scared of what will happen if she gets a vampire roommate or something. I hope she makes a good friend." Calli shudders, moving her hand to her neck where Amber had bitten her six months ago. "I understand." She got in close enough so that others wouldn't hear but not close enough to make Jasper feel weird. "I don't trust the vampires here. Katherine is nice enough, but it's not like we're buddy buddy. Just, even if they seem nice, I wouldn't befriend them. They'll turn on you for sure."

She leaned back out, looking around. Sapphire said something, and Calli smiled generously. "Oh don't worry about that, there's always many of one kind here. In fact, I know of at least one other," Looking around, she saw a fae she remembered from when she was here last. "There's another standing over there, his name is Tulio. I don't really know him that well but just thought I'd point him out. If you ever want to know someone, just ask me. My father makes me learn all of the fae names for politics, since I'm supposed to take the throne when I'm older, but I just find it's too much to remember." Calli didn't mean to make it known that she was the king's daughter, and internally scolded herself and her blabbermouth, but hopefully they didn't notice and call her out on it. She would hate it if they changed they're opinion of her if they knew.

"Okay, it looks like we're done with introductions. Is there anything in particular you guys want to see first?" She asked hurriedly, trying to move on and not make it obvious.

"Oh don't worry about that, there's always many of one kind here. In fact, I know of at least one other,There's another standing over there, his name is Tulio. I don't really know him that well but just thought I'd point him out. If you ever want to know someone, just ask me. My father makes me learn all of the fae names for politics, since I'm supposed to take the throne when I'm older, but I just find it's too much to remember." Jasper listens as she talks and acts calm when she mentions the throne. 'So she's a royal?' He thinks, fiddling with his sister's hair. "Okay, it looks like we're done with introductions. Is there anything in particular you guys want to see first?" He looks up and looks over to Phae, realizing that they hadn't really included her there.

"I only need to be taken to my dorm... The rest I can figure out on my own," He smiles at her speaking now that there was a chance, feeling slightly guilty that they had excluded her. Sapphire looks over and smiles shyly at her, noticing that she was standing awkwardly.
"I hope one of you are my roommate I don't think I can handle anyone else. She says, kindly and meaning for Phae to answer, since she hadn't been able to speak before. I play with her hair again before speaking myself.

"We should get going soon, before it starts to get dark." He looks over at the big building and takes in it's beauty, noticing that there are still a bit of student standing around. "Besides I wan't to get Saph that new uniform soon."

Calli winced as Phae started her sentence, but smiled gratefully when she left it alone. As far as she could tell, Jasper and Sapphire didn't notice but he had a good pokerface going so she really couldn't tell. All the three of them seemed to only want to get to their rooms and Calli smiled brightly and nodded. "Well, to be honest, I don't think there are room assignments yet, so if you guys want we can hang out till then?" She smiled hopefully. She really hoped they would all agree. Since she had left, all of her friends had moved on and graduated, but she still had to finish her senior year. "The bubble tea at the cafe is to die for. If you ask nice, they'll even add some orchid essence to the tapioca bubbles. It's the perfect thing when your stressed out or nervous." She smiled again and hearing Jasper's comment about Sapphire's questionable attire, she pursed we lips and then held up a finger excitedly, the universal motion for she had an idea.

"If you want Sapphire, I have a super cute dress that would fit you, and cover everything up. It's not a uniform, but I'm sure Katherine will understand if we explain it's only temporary." She smiled brightly and then looked at Phae, her mind already bouncing to another topic. "Oh, by the way, I love your hair color! I tried getting it to that when I was little with some magic but it didn't work at all! It just ended up giving me white streaks in my bright blue hair, NOT a sight to see let me tell you that." She smiled for about the tenth time that conversation and looked around the group appraisinly. "So? What do y'all say?"

Sapphire nods at her offer. "Thanks. Maybe then there won't be as many people on Jasper's To-Kill list." She giggles at that and gasps when her brother grabs her ponytail. He slightly tugs and leans his head towards it, still looking at Calli.

"Oh this? We were born with it this color, but it made hiding in winter helpful. Didn't it Sis?" His voice is sarcastic and playful as he says this and slightly tugs, she yelps in pain but jabs him with her elbow.

"Really? Cause you seemed to have trouble hiding." She replies quickly, stomping on his foot. He tugs harder on her ponytail and she squeals. "Ow! Stop!" She elbows him again and pulls herself free, glaring at him.

"There's the Saph I know! Calli we'd be glad to take you up on that offer." He says, inspecting his sister's head for any damage and eventually just pulling out the ponytails, and runnin his fingers through her hair.

"What about you Phae? You gonna come too?" She asks, a bit more cheerful.

Cameron smiled at Serenity, but then stopped when she saw her crying again. Cameron sighed and was about to sat something to try and make her friend better. But usually that back fired and she only made it worse. She kept quiet until she heard Serenity say ,'' “Cameron… you know I’m not…” Cameron felt bad, she wanted to say something and she knew what Serenity was going to say. Cameron took a deep breath and looked up at Serenitie's face. Cameron hated being shorter than her best friend, she wasn't that much shorter, just by two inches. Cameron looked her in the eyes, she saw the same little girl that she met eleven years ago. '' I-I can’t do it!” Cameron sighed deeply and couldn't say anything, her words wouldn't come out, it's like when she tried to talk, her words were silent.

Cameron looked down at Serenitie's hands and saw them balled up into fists, she knew that the next thing wasn't going to be very good. Cameron braced herself for Serenitie's loud voice, '' “I hate it here already! There are too many people and this stupid uniform doesn’t even fit me!” Cameron covered her ears and bent down, Serenitie's voice was much louder than she expected it to be. Cameron put her hands on Serenitie's shoulders and said, '' Please, calm down. You're too loud.'' Cameron said in a soft voice, speaking in a soft tone usually calmed Serenity down. But in this case, no at all. Serenity just quickly turned around and ran away,before she got too far Cameron heard her say, '' “I just want to go home…” Cameron sighed and chased after her. Cameron had to squeeze between students talking, some sitting down and some standing. At one point, she could have sworn she felt someone touch her butt, she turned her head and she could have sworn it was the same guy on the bus that was looking at Serenity. Cameron glared at him and stuck her pinky up at him and turned back around and went to go find Serenity, again.

Calli giggles at Sapphire and Jasper's little sibling bickery. In originality she was speaking to Phae about her hair, but the she didn't seem to notice. When Phae mentioned he had never had bubble tea Calli let out a shocked gasp. "Oh my goodness it's the best! Now you have to come, pleaaase?" Sapphire asked Phae too as Calli squealed excitedly when she said yes. "Yay! Okay, let's go. Sapphire, I'll give you that dress when we get to the cafe . They have restrooms there you can change in."

Calli started walking in the direction of the cafe. "So, you guys excited to start classes?" Calli knew she was, considering it would be a total breeze for her. She had already had these classes for the beginning of the year last year and then she had been pulled out so she was having to take the same senior level classes again this year. It was going to be easy peasy.

When they reached the cafe, Calli ordered 4 orchid essence bubble teas and picks a booth in the corner. "So! Where is everyone from?"

While neither Sapphire or Jasper commented on her cat, they certainly didn't ignore it. All they had ever seen growing up were wildcats, and only a kitten could fit into a bag. While following Calli they both contemplated how this would work.
"Now children, this is a wildcat." Me and my sister stare wide-eyed at the large feline, that's what dad told us they were, and Sapphire jumps out to pet the kittens. Father grabbed her and pulled her back, tuning us all invisible. "You must never attempt to touch their children, they are very protective!" Sapphire shivers and mumbles sorry at least a million times.

"So, you guy's excited to start classes? Calli's voice brought them out of their flashback and they both looked silently at each other, shaking their heads. They didn't want to go here? They wanted to be home with their parents, they wanted to get taught and take care of the forest. Not go to some school with a bunch of other supernatural.

"No. No we aren't, we don't even want to be here." Sapphire answered, her voice turning cold. Even if Calli begged that's all either of them would, or could say. The rest of the walk was quiet, and when they got to the cafe they stayed silent still. Sapphire looked around they small building and noticed many people, starting to feel shy again. She stared intently at the artwork, her face blank.

"So! Where is everyone from?" Jasper and Sapphire stayed silent, knowing that if they answered they would break into tears. Jasper watched his sister's supposedly blank face, and noticed how upset and close to tears she was. When the tea came they both drank it happily. The tea was amazing, and he loved the way it warmed his stomach. While Sapphire drank hers he could tell that it was too strong for her. He knew she was being polite, but doesn't like her drinking something if she doesn't like it.
