Winter's Choice

Chapter 1

Present Day:

Travelling by car is one of the most boring thing's ever to happen in my life, I offered to make my own way to the academy with my familiar, I could have used a run to get rid of this energy I have but no such luck, I got shoved into this car before I could even complain that I didn't want to go to school much less the Academy but like the rest of my life it's planned out with military accuracy. Good job I like to train and hunt or I'd be doomed at this school, like most "stuck up" school's there is a hierarchy and I intend to be the top as I'm nobody's under dog, an anybody who think's I am can meet my knife's.

"Are we there yet?" asked my sister Elena while looking out the tinted window, she looked as bored as I felt. "We have been travelling for 12 hour's surely we are there, plus I'm sick of being caged up in this car, can't I run the rest of the way?" I asked. Unfortunately the driver's answer was " I'm afraid not your step mother requested by car you should arrive Ma'am also we are around 2 minutes away from the gate."

I huffed out a sigh, 2 minutes felt like forever before we was pulling up to the academy, a lone teacher stood to great us as the driver allowed us out of the car, it never felt so good to stretch my leg's and drink in the air, which smelled of the earth and sun an wintery goodness, winter was always my favourite hence the name Winter.

"pleased to meet you, I am head mistress Park, now come along, you need to hurry to orientation for your schedules and school accommodation." she said. I couldn't help but look behind me at the wide open garden's and the second year student's walking the grounds in there groups, I couldn't wait for orientation to be over so I could explore and find the training grounds or the gym. Grabbing my iPhone and following Mrs Park to the giant hall was less than thrilling, more closed spaces and no outside air. I could think of a thousand places I'd rather be like at home in my room hiding from my mother and her ranting about my betrothed.

Taking a seat at the back with Elena was torture I couldn't wait to get away from her and leave her to cause her own problem's, maybe she would join the school mean girl's? It would be something she would enjoy, making other peoples lives miserable. Me on the other hand I just wanted to find somebody who could keep up with me in the ring with and without weapons.

"Welcome to Birley Academy, I am headmistress Park, I'll make this quick, you will be assigned a teacher who will be your block's caretaker, also your room's have already been picked at random, they are mixed, should problems arise, please speak with your caretaker and see if a solution can be met. Furthermore we will give you your block number's and who your caretaker is with your class schedule' Park stated. I zoned out the rest and daydreamed about getting out of the hall when a pack of papers inside a plastic wallet landed in my lap making me slightly jump, seems the orientation was over as people got up to leave while reading their own pack of information.

Heading down the hallway I found my block, called Dark block, fitting I guess as I shrugged my shoulder's, hopefully this is where all the vampire's are but knowing my luck i'll be paired with my sister who was conveniently missing, "oh well" I sighed.

Finding Dark block room 17, I pulled open the door and was instantly hit with the smell of shifter, this couldn't get any worse...
