Valicatere Eastrare
“A graduate…huuuh?”
Valicatere used the breath of the vowel to blow a low breath into her captives ear, smirking and drawing away in amusement when his shivering increased.
“I thought our kind wasn’t supposed to feel cold, hm? But you’re not cold are you? Tell me why you’re shaking then darling.”
The tall woman’s slightly forked tongue flicked out in a hiss. A bright silver coil around the young vampire, her captive, tightened, slithering closer to his neck. His skin, though pale, was tan in contrast to Valicatere, who positively glowed in the faint moonlight illuminating the room. Her maroon eyes shone at him in the dim lighting, twinkling. He swallowed dryly.
“Well? Answer me when I’m talking to you.” Her melodious voice, thick with a British-Russian accent- a strange combination- sounded almost like she was talking to a pet.
“I’m…I’m afraid...”
Valicatere slowly grinned, showing her long sharp canines.
“You very well should be. But now…. Please, tell me more of this… school. Where it is, how it works, everything.”

Valicatere flicked her tongue, holding out her hand towards the now empty chair. From the armrest a long, thick, shining snake crept onto her pale skin, coiling around her bare arm until it rested around her neck. The woman adjusted her robe back onto her shoulder and gave the small pile of dust on the chair a halfhearted little smile. Slender fingers reached to caress the serpent around her throat.
“Seaa haaldah shvio arlhseaal ssalvei. Sheasl avei forldelr aass lotie hutashlay seaa.” You have proven yourself useful. I can now make good use of you.
The snake nuzzled against her throat as she moved out of the room, grinning with malicious intent.
~~~~2 Months Later~~~~
Valicatere stepped silently over a few rocks, peering through the high gates of the school. Several students flooded into a main building and over two bridges, into a main building. From her vantage point, she could see that well, though she was still too close to the main gate. It seemed to be the only way in or out, but that could be changed. Or, if Vali got lucky, it could even be opened for her.
She moved away, bare feet making no sound as she entered the woods that surrounded the academy. It hadn’t been as simple as she had hoped, getting where she was. It was a journey that had to be planned, and strength buil. Powers trained, actions set up, travel made.
After all, she had to be her best. For no one in the school could possibly still be alive once she was through.
None were worthy.
It was bad enough it was a human school, but when you added the fact vampires knowingly associated and interacted with them… unforgivable. The lowly mortals had no right in any vampires life. She could see nobles or the turned being so stupid- But Vali knew even Purebloods took place in the taboo. Did they have no self-respect?
The thought of it brought a growl to her throat, rumbling lightly in her neck. The snakes around her neck and arm shifted and hissed with unease. Vali quickly calmed herself, and settled the serpents.
It was a crime it had taken so long for her to hear of the foul 'place of education'. Could no other see reason, and vanquish the problem? No other mighty one such as herself to decide their fate?
One of her breaths hitched as ice spread in the grass around her. Vali quickly regained control, melting it with a splash of water, her shadow casually stepping away from the puddle.
It would all be okay. They would all pay with their lives and the world would be better, with a few less mortals and a few less betraying vampires. Then there would be more fit to inhabit the Earth, like her.
There was just the manner of getting in.
