Luna Grimsdottir's Story

Built majestically upon the top of a mountain range, surrounded by evergreen pine forests and valleys is an old castle, beautiful and elegant; particularly at sunrise when the warm rays first hit the spiral of each tower. Quiet for a short while the hidden landmark is once again open as a boarding school.

On this particular day the sun is shining bright and warm and the sky is clear; but the shadows are cold and there is a slight chill to air. Students of all shapes and sizes have approached the school, wearing their fresh uniforms, trailing baggage behind them fit for a long term at school. For some; more baggage is being sent in preparation for the entire year.

Unknown to the students, there is a slight change to this school year. A species that hasn't yet set foot in the school is mingling within the crowd, disguised by the general mob of uniforms and mayhem.

Warren High Boarding school has undertaken a project. One that will change the lives of all the students involved.



A warning bell rings out and it causes the students to file into two seperate assembly halls after a few straddles check in at reception.

In one hall, fresh-faced human children are seated. Nervous, eager and hopelessly naïve. Human teachers crowd behind them, listening just as eagerly as their students.

A woman, intimidating in both stature and beauty stands before them, icy eyes wondering over the sea of heads. Amanda Vogue, head mistress of Warren High, a mysterious figure built upon fear and rumours. Terrifying visually, from her masculine suit to her snarling, bow shaped lips. She wore the word terrifying like a shade of lipstick.

She never usually gave a speech this early, but things were different this year.

"Good afternoon and welcome, my name is Amanda Vogue, but you will all address me as Head Mistress." She began, giving a few figity students a longer stare than others. "At the start of the school year it is tradition for students to settle into their shared rooms on arrival and meet their fellow students before starting lessons the following day, however, I want to let you know a few important things first. Number one, there are no dropouts, runaways, rule breakers or clowns at this boarding school- you're here to learn and here you will stay. Number two, this school is special, it has traditions, secrets, I expect students of this school to be respectful of these things. Last of all, this is a respected facility and it is a privilege to be here, I assure you all that this will be an experience you will never forget..."

After addressing the human students Amanda Vogue made her way through a short corridor until she came to a second large hall. She hesitated outside the doors leading in before letting out an aspirated sigh and pushing open the doors. It unleashed a chaos of noise. Students of all kinds littered the hall, loud and obnoxious, snarling and laughing. She took her place at the front of the hall and after realising that no one had noticed her enter, let out a horrifying shriek. The hall quickly fell silent. The older students who'd been at the school for a while sat round respectably, the new students jumped in their seats. Startled.

She stared at them all, letting her glamour slip slightly to reveal some skeletal before giving a slightly different speech.

"Im sure you've all heard the rumours circulating about the 'human project' the school has taken on. Therefore I will address this first. It is true, that approximately half of the new students joining this year are human. This is an opportunity to prove to the council that this school raises students of the highest calibre no matter the species. It is a project we take very seriously, any student who is seen to jeopardise this great opportunity will be punished and expelled. I expect you all to make the new students feel welcome.
Now I am Amanda Vogue, Head Mistress of Warren High Boarding school..."

She continued to list similar introductions to the monster students as she did with the human students, Aware that her words were falling on a few deaf ears. The up coming year was to be a difficult one. She was a wolf, running a school for cat and mice.

Celia Swift


"Well hello there girly! Looks like we're gonna be roomies... I've heard so much about you Celia! I'm Kitanai, but you can call me Kitty. And this is Ren or Renny, which ever you prefer. Between you and me, he's not really a dog, he's a fox."

Celia turned away from the door at the company. Her blue and orange eyes trailed over the girl before her, she had similar hair and a wicked aura. As a Siren she couldn't ignore her edgy and attractive looks. Celia moved out of the bathroom and took a sassy stances against the door frame.

"Guess there's no point introducing myself if you've already heard so much" she mused whilst running a hand through her snowy hair. Her eyes lowered to Kitty's pet. "Cute...pet?"

Celia then moved her gaze to Kitty's hand, before a saucy smile slipped on to her face. "You'll have to earn that sweetie pie. I'm not shaking hands with anyone until I see the real them."

Another girl appeared at the door, she was tall, blond and pretty. Celia folded her arms, amused by how attractive her room-mates appeared glamour wise. It was all a disguise though, she'd have to wait until night fall to see what was hiding underneath all that pretty skin.

Celia watched the blond drag her luggage over to the tank and resisted rolling her eyes. So she was the freaky one.

"Well, what a beautiful day it's been so far, don't you think?" The tall, blond blurted.

Celia's eyebrows lifted. "Yeah..." She gestured to the tank. "What the hell are you?"

Winter Lavine


Winter took a while finding her room, she was too busy sight-seeing and watching her fellow students to focus too much on where she was going. Eventually she stumbled upon the right floor and shuffled up to her room. Outside her room a pretty little blond was stood. Winnie's eyes grew wide as she recognised the blond for a human.

"Hey? Are you staying in that room?" She called out before catching herself. Right next to her room another girl was waiting outside and she didn't feel human at all.
