Shadow World: Her Legacy

Arrival

The girls arrived in shadow country, stepping out of the plane the were in awe looking at the surrounding areas. They had never seen anything like this before, it was like they had just stepped into the future or maybe an alternative universe. It was nothing but sky scrapers, they have never seen so many tall buildings in one place it was really mesmerizing. “wow I feel like we have been living in the back waters our entire lives, do you see what I’m seeing I don’t even have the words" Luna said Zara. The girls had never seen anything like this, they had stories about the shadow world being corrupt and ruthless but it didn’t look like that from were they stood. They knew technology in shadow country was more advanced than any other place in the world, even the humans couldn’t have the kind of breakthrough beasts could in science and technology. Vampires invented most of the technology after all they are immortal and have all the time in the world to perfect it and they did. The girls walked into the airport, got their luggage and stepped outside, it was even more glamorous from the front. Tall buildings that look like space ships, cars driving with drivers, transparent cell phones they really had stepped into another world and they were loving it. All the doubts Zara had were now all gone and she felt like weight was lifted off her shoulders and she made the right decision coming here. “Omg we are definitely gonna be happy here”.

The girls notice a man in a suit holding a sign of their names standing next to a shadow university car waiting for the girls, the girls walk over to the man and talk to him “hi I’m Zara and this is Luna”. The Dean asked that I come pick you up since it’s your first time in the shadow world he did not want you getting lost or preyed on, please get in the car we should get there before it gets dark". Zara was getting all kinds if creepy vibes from this guy, he looked human but after accidentally touching him she knew he was a vampire. When a witch touches a vampire they get chill down their spine and see a pit of nothingness, it’s a way of showing that they have no soul but most of the older more powerful vampire can fool witches into believing they are human although they could never hide from werewolves after all they are natural enemies. The girls got in the car and their luggage was loaded in, for the first time Luna was quiet, she was never really uncomfortable around vampires she had dated one or two after all it’s this particular one who had all her warning senses going off in rockets and she couldn’t figure out why. She obviously expected she wouldn’t like everyone she met in shadow country but she never thought she would meet someone who made even her wolf go into hiding, this was a new feeling for her and one she did not like at all. 

“hey are you alright? You look a little freaked out, you nervous about getting to the college?” Zara asked Luna. Luna faked a smile and said “no I think it’s just the full moon starting to take a toll on me, there's only a couple of hours left so my wolf is just a bit restless”. Zara was a bit surprised by this because in all the years she has known Luna she has never had trouble controlling her wolf not even on a full moon were most wolves go feral and lose control, she could never figure out how she could do it she had seen the full moon bring grown men to their knees. ”ok if you say so, I just hope you'll be feeling better later because if not you are sleeping outside with the other dogs, I’m not trying to lose a limb and unfortunately not even science can grow those back" the girls chuckled at Zara's statement. They fell into easy conversation and Luna was distracted the rest of the way, their conversation came to a halt when they saw the building up ahead. The university was located a few miles out of town on the edge of a cliff surrounded by green and pretty flower colours as far as the eye could see, it was the most amazing thing they had ever seen. Zara felt drawn to the nature so much so she just couldn’t stop looking at it all, but as a witch it was not unusual because they are connected to earth in ways most beasts are not but that wasn’t what was going here. From a far away distance further than she should be able to see she saw him the guy in her dreams, he was crouching on the roof of the tallest building at the university looking at the car driving up and just watching and waiting but what for? Zara blinked for a second and he was suddenly gone, did she really see him or was she imagining things. One thing's for sure Shadow University was about to get a hell of a lot more interesting.
