Prologue
In the middle of a field, there was a big house, a mansion. The mansion was overgrown with bushes of different flowers. The mansion had a huge garden with a hedge labyrinth and several of different rose bushes. It had been vacant for a few years, up until the day a family of four moved in. After only living there one year, a big fire broke out and it destroyed everything in its path. Well that was what all the humans in the village thought. But what actually happened was that two elementals, whose parents had just died, took over the house. Their parents had taken the house in possession after the previous owners had left suddenly. The reason it’s previous owners had left suddenly was a family member had fallen ill, and they had to nurse him until the day he died.
After some time they teamed up with a vampire and a shape shifter. That was when they decided to start the school Night High, a school for selected kids who were like them. The reason for creating the fire was that they wanted to keep themselves and their future students safe, and they also made sure that trees started to grow there directly. This meant that the house was hidden for everyone except for those who knew about it. Now, the big old house was surrounded by big trees, that could be over a hundred years old, and bushes, so no one could get near, without the people inside knowing about it, since they had cameras hidden in the trees and they also had a big invisible alarm. The alarm goes off if someone entered the forest, that wasn't supposed to be there; they also had traps all around in the forest. If the would-be intruder managed to get near the house then they would encounter a big wall of bushes that hid the house. The bushes are on a wall that can be brought down whenever they wished to have it down. It makes sure that they will not be disturbed by those who think there shouldn't be any vampires, elementals or shape shifters.
Keyla
Keyla, a 17-year-old girl with light brown hair, dark blue eyes almost black in some lightings. She had one passion in her life that has not changed even though she lost her father. Her father died of lung cancer almost a year ago, and sometimes she could find herself really sad almost depressed because of it. The passion in her life was to act.
Keyla was sitting in a chair in the auditorium watching the ongoing auditions for the role of Cinderella. Her school was going to put up the play and everyone was allowed to audition for any of the roles. Keyla was hoping to be Cinderella and had practiced a scene, the scene where Cinderella is with her Fairy Godmother.
“MUM!” Keyla hollered as she entered the house.
“Yes?” she answered and her head showed up in the kitchen door way.
“I got the part as Cinderella”, Keyla said beaming.
“That’s great hunnie”, her mother answered smiling as she went back to cleaning the oven.
“To bad that dad isn’t here to see it. He always said that he wanted to see me in the lead someday…” Keyla trailed off as she choked on the words, with tears building up in her eyes. She ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut. Her mother knew why Keyla had slammed the door and let her be, since it was the easiest thing to do.
Two weeks later
Keyla and the rest of the cast were going to perform for an audience for the first time this day. They got standing ovations when they finished and bouquets of blood red roses. Keyla’s mother had decided that the two of them were going out to a fancy restaurant after the play to celebrate Keyla’s success. Keyla had her hair down with curls and she was wearing a dark red strapless dress, with sneakers.
“Mum do we have to go out to eat?” Keyla asked and looked at her mother.
“Yes, because your grandparents wants to see you”, her mother said as she took her daughter’s hand and walked to the restaurant that was quite close to the school.
“Fine” Keyla said and stomped off after her mother.
“Hi grandma, and grandpa”, Keyla said smiling as she hugged them.
“Hello sweetheart”, her grandmother said smiling as she hugged her.
“Where do you think you are going Keyla?” her mother asked her, after she had hugged her grandparents.
“Home!” she said not stopping. She reached the bus stop and the bus was waiting. She got on it, and so did her mother.
“Go away mum”, she said not wanting to talk to her mother.
“No, you are not allowed to go home alone”, her mother said as she sat down next to Keyla.
It took the bus one-and-a-half-hour to reach the bus stop that was near their house. One hour had passed when the bus got a flat tire, and while they were waiting for the bus driver to repair it, ten vampires showed up and went into the bus, and started to kill and feed from the humans. When they reached Keyla and her mother, they killed her mother, but they turned Keyla into a vampire by mistake.
Keyla had passed out, and all the others in the bus were dead, so when the police came they buried everybody in belief that they were all dead. Everybody got his or her own grave. When it was night again, Keyla excavated her way up from the grave, and she was now a vampire without knowing it. The vampire that had turned Keyla into a vampire was watching her grave, and when she surfaced he walked over to her.
"Hello," he said and smiled. He was taller than most men, and he had fiery red hair, blue eyes, and a small potato nose. He didn't have a vampire-like face; he looked just like any other man. Keyla couldn't control her vampire powers yet, and therefore her face was still normal.
"Hello. Do you know how I got here?" she asked and looked around.
"Yes. You died."
"I what?!?! But if I'm dead then why am I here?"
"Well you are dead, but alive. You are a vampire", the man said as he smiled mischievously.
"A what?!?!"
"A vampire. You do know what that is?"
"Yes. But I thought they didn't exist," Keyla said surprised.
"Oh but they do. There is so much you need to learn. But first we need to get you out of here before the slayer comes and tries to kill us."
"I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't know who you are."
"I am Emrys, and I can keep you safe. So come on."
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don't come now you will most likely end up dead in a matter of minutes" Emrys said and sighed as he watched Keyla.
"Okay. Fine, but I'm not happy with it" Keyla said as the two of them left the graveyard. As they walked along into the woods, Keyla became really quiet and sad, and she didn't say anything at all, not even when Emrys asked her something.
"Are you okay Keyla?" Emrys asked after a while.
"How do you know my name?"
"I have been watching you to make sure that you were ready."
"Ready for what?"
"You'll see."
"Fine!" Keyla snapped angrily, and looked at the ground as they walked.
Brawl and Dime
The twins Brawl and Dime were close to each other, not even the fact that their parents were separated, could keep them from being close, and driving people insane with their pranks. They were two 17-year-olds with bright green eyes and light fiery red hair. The twins were different heights, Brawl was taller than his brother Dime, other than that, they were exactly alike. Since they parents were divorced and living apart, Dime lived with their mother and Brawl with their father since either of the parents wanted to give both of the children up, they took one each.
It was the twins’ birthday and they had just come home from school.
“SURPRISE!” both of their parents shouted, with a bunch of other people when they entered the hallway.
“Happy birthday Brawl and Dime”, they said as a choir.
“Thanks”, the twins said as they went into the living room and sat down on the sofa. Several of their friends from school were there and their grandparents as well.
A few hours later
Everyone had gone home, except for Dime and his mother. They were talking about how they were doing in school and such. Brawl was playing with one of the games he got.
“Brawl will you never stop playing the game and join in the conversation?” Dime asked looking over at his brother.
“Nope”, Brawl answered and smiled huge. The time was going by fast and it was now near midnight.
“Dime we should go home, it’s getting late”, their mother said looking at her two sons playing a game together.
“Not yet mum”, Brawl and Dime said at the same time, since they didn’t want to stop playing the game.
“Yes NOW!” their mother hollered as she re-entered the living room.
“Fine!” Dime growled as he and his brother walked out through the back door. They both turned around as they heard a big crash.
“MUM! DAD!” Brawl and Dime shouted as they ran around to the front of the house. Their parents were nowhere to be seen. They stood there as they saw a lightning hit the house. The next one went through the two boys and they were knocked out cold.
They were still out when the police and ambulance came to take them to the hospital. When they woke up, two girls were in their room, and they were twins just like Brawl and Dime. The boys looked around and saw that they were in the hospital and wondered how they got there.
"Who are you?" Dime asked the girls.
"I'm Sophie, and this is my sister Sarah" Sophie said and smiled. The girls' hair was as black as a raven's feathers, ice-blue eyes, and button nose.
"How did we get here?" Brawl asked, and looked out the window and saw that it was getting brighter outside.
"The ambulance got you here but your parents died" the girls said at the same time.
"How are we going to see if they got the powers?" Sophie thought as she looked at her sister.
"Leave that to me, Sophie. You know we have to make them mad, since that is the trigger."
"Okay. I hope you know what you are doing!"
"I do" Sarah thought and smiled. The female twins had telepathic powers and were talking to each other.
"Dime?"
"How do you know my name?"
"My sister and I have been watching you."
"Why?"
"So we would know if you were ready or not. Just like so many others."
"What?!" Dime shouted angrily, and threw a lighting bolt at the wall. "Whoa. What was that?"
"It worked sis. Now we just need to tick Brawl off," Sarah thought and smiled.
"Leave that to me”, Sophie answered smiling mischievously.
"Okay" Sarah thought.
"Brawl?"
"What? I was asleep" Brawl said annoyed.
"I know."
"Then why did you wake me?"
"Cause I felt like it."
"Okay. Can I go back to sleep now?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because we need to leave before others see what you two are capable of doing.”
"What do you mean by that?" Brawl asked sourly, as he by accident set the curtains on fire.
"That is what I mean. When you two get mad then you can hurt someone really bad if you don't know how to control your powers", Sarah said and smiled.
"Okay, then get us out of here!" the twins said at once, and the girls nodded and helped the boys to turn into small light-balls, and the four of them were gone.
Tam
Tam was watching her dog playing in the backyard at her house. She was 17 years old and she had maroon hair that fall down to her shoulders. Her eyes are blue-grayish, and shaped a bit like a cat’s eyes. She also had a small button nose. She had her hair in a ponytail with a blue ribbon around it. She was wearing a blue and black striped dress, and a pair of jeans under it, with a big blue knitted jumper on top. Her dog, a Siberian husky with ice-blue eyes, was running around chasing its own tail. The dog was called Winnie.
"Winnie, come here" Tam shouted as she walked in to the house. She was whistling an old song that her mother used to sing to her when she was little. She missed her mum terribly, since she had died when Tam was only five years old. Tam didn’t know her father since he had left her mother when he had found out that her mother was pregnant, since she didn’t know her father or knew where he was she had to live with her aunt. Her aunt lived in a big house in a family friendly neighborhood. The house was actually the house that Nezzie’s parents had owned when she was a child. She had inherited it when her parents died a few years back, and Nezzie had moved there with Tam. It was a good neighborhood with a good school close by.
"Tam!" aunt Nezzie shouted.
"Yes" Tam answered as she walked in to the kitchen where Nezzie was setting the table.
"There you are! Dinner is ready and Winnie needs to eat too" Nezzie said and smiled as she put down the dog's bowl with food in it, on the floor.
"Thanks Nezzie" Tam said as she sat down and started to eat. Winnie was by her bowl and ate as well. Nezzie sat down next to Tam and ate her food. When they were all done Nezzie washed the dishes, in the mean time Tam and Winnie went out and played in the backyard. Tam tossed a stick for Winnie, but she didn't want to go and fetch it. Something was scaring her, Tam wanted to know what it was, so she went over to the spot where the stick had landed. Well there she saw something sparkle in the sunlight. Tam bent down and picked it up. She examined it for a bit, and she saw that it had a long chain, it was a pendant that was in a gold like metal. She decided to hang it around her neck, and when she tried to play with Winnie, she just ran away from Tam. She didn't think much of it and walked inside, where Winnie was cowering under the kitchen table in her bed.
Tam went up to her room and looked closer at the pendant and read out loud: "From a far away place where you can't reach, there is a force greater than you can imagine. It works on those of the right age and those of the right species. You will be able to take on other forms that no one else can, and you will have the help of a Guider", when she finished reading the pendent started to glow, and something happened, but Tam didn't know what. After a while she walked down to the kitchen and looked at Winnie who was still hiding under the kitchen table. She frowned and walked over to the sink and took a glass of water and drank it. She then walked to the living room and looked around for Nezzie.
"Tam, don't run" the being said as he walked after her.
"How do you know my name?"
"I know your name and everybody else that has been living here."
"How?"
"Because I'm the guider to the pendant's owner. That would be you, Tam."
"Who are you?"
"The Guider."
"Okay, so what will happen now? Nezzie is gone and the police will probably come soon."
"We are leaving" The Guider said and grabbed her hand, and turned her in to a bird, and they both flew off.
