Over in rolling fields of England, in the middle of nowhere, stood a large school campus. The buildings were not like that of any other school though, being shaped like old fashioned manor houses, or gothic cathedrals. The cloud cover was slightly thick, but the setting sun would periodically poke it's head through its veil, and brighten the campus slightly. The campus walkways and paths were lined with old fashioned oil lit lanterns, and one would find a large cluster of crows here and there. To any human, this place would be considered unnerving or even scary, but to the monster occupants, this Campus couldn't have more character.

Shuttle busses were pulling up a dirt road, that appeared almost out of nowhere from a thicket of trees. One by one, these Shuttle busses would drop off monsters in their human forms, which is why, an ordinary human boy who enrolled in this school without knowing it was exclusive to monsters thought this school was perfectly normal, despite its unique architecture.

"Night Blood Academy." The boy whispered. "Pretty strange place for a boarding school, out in the middle of nowhere. I wonder who designed this school?" He thought, as he examined the buildings.

Another girl got off the same shuttle bus. She had waist length blonde hair which hung perfectly and freely. Her bright green eyes sparkled like emeralds, and the dress she wore only highlighted her beauty. The girl was completely unaware of the wayward stares she attracted, but she none the less walked around the school gates, examining the school. "Wow." She gleamed. "I've never seen a building so beautiful."

The boy overheard the girl. He smiled, before he said. "Are we looking at the same building."

The girl frowned at this comment. "Do you not like it?" She asked.

"Well..." The boy thought aloud, before realizing how stunning the girl was who stood in front of him. He quickly then thought on his feet awkwardly. "I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think its beautiful, then there's some charm to it!"

Rei walked off the buss, stretching his legs. When he noticed the academy, there was a look of shock on his face. "No way that's real! It looks like the final boss level from a video game!"

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack walked off of the bus, small spikes of ice forming in the ground around him as he moved. Without saying a word, he stepped past the other students before he paused to look up at the building before him.

After a moment he quietly thought aloud "So this is Nightblood.....well it'll do", small outlets of ice forming on the ground near his feet.

 

[Naoto]

"Um, excuse me." Alice whispered to Jack. "I don't mean to bother you, but your leaving behind trails of ice."

Meanwhile, a completely oblivious Drew was still fixed on the peculiar campus. He also was slightly cold for some reason unknown to him, despite it being early fall. "Burr... It's cold..." He whispered.

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack turned around and saw his pathway littered with frost and shook his head and said "Sorry. Tends to happen when I get distracted."

He then made a sweeping motion with one of his arms, causing all of the ice to shatter simultaneously and vanish. He then quietly muttered "So much for keeping my abilities under curtains."

A teenage girl with fair skin, ice blue eyes, and straight brown hair stepped off of the bus, the smell of cinders followed her. Looking at the School's design, she wasn't sure if it had any religion-based objects or areas. If it really was a Cathedral at one point and not a school, she would get headaches as soon as she would take a step inside. Walking along, she brushed some white dust off of her arm, it was the ash left behind after she made a transformation. Her name was Cindiri (or Cindy, whichever you prefer), which coincidentally fit with the scent of cinders that lingered around her.

Now, Cindy thought, I wonder how much chaos I can cause between the students over the course of the year. These people might be more difficult, considering the fact that the previous victims of my pranks were only human...

 

[Naoto]

"It's okay." Alice smiled. "Were here to learn how to control our powers and blend in with humans. So it's no big deal if you can't do right off the bat."

Meanwhile, Drew started to stare at Alice. I've never seen someone so beautiful, she seems so nice to. She's almost perfect... Drew thought, before he shook his head. Snap out of it you idiot! Just talk to her!. Drew then tried to decide on how he'd start a conversation with her.

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack shook his head and said "Ah if only it was that simple. I can usually control my powers, just not when my mind drifts off...."

He then created a sphere of ice in his hand and threw it into the air before firing a spike of ice from his palm, shattering both items in a shower of crushed ice.

As the ice fell down to earth, Jack took note of Alice's external beauty and asked "Now what would you go by? My assumption would be beautiful, but it might do me well to learn your actual name."

 

[Naoto]

"Thank you." Alice blushed. "My name is Alice Tepes." Alice greeted.

Seeing this as the best time to talk to her, Drew walked up to Alice. "Hello Alice." He greeted with a slightly awkward smile. "My name's Drew Clover, but you can call me Drew."

Alice smiled, but one thought crossed her mind... Hmm... Why does he smell so good... Usually its just humans who smell this sweet... Doesn't matter! She shrugged, as she gave a light giggle.

"Something up?" Drew asked.

"It's nothing." Alice giggled lightly.

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack smiled upon hearing Alice's name. He quietly said "It's a beautiful name. My name is Jack Renaldo, but for obvious reasons many simply call me Frostbite."

He then swept his hand again, causing all of the crushed ice to fly into his hand, where it seemingly was absorbed into his skin.

 

[SquishyFace]

Well I don't see the point in lingering around silently, Cindy thought, It's boring if there's nobody to talk to,

She noticed two students who were already chatting it up. One of them was a boy already showing off his powers to the girl, and the girl was very beautiful by human standards. Cindy felt a slight bit intimidated by the Blonde girl's appearance, starting to doubt that her own abilities couldn't change her into someone even more attractive. She approached the two of them,

"So, I see that you're already showing off? Judging by the ice, you must be some sort of magical being." she asked Jack, "Sorry for not introducing myself right away, my name is Cindiri. Call me Cindy if you want."

 

[Master Yiseeks]

Rei glanced over at the boy making ice, then realized what he saw and turned his head back again. The boy...was making ice! He was talking to some pretty cute girl. Rei thought she was a bit too cute, and she didn't seem his type anyway. He saw another girl there, she didn't really seem like much. Then Rei saw the last boy in the group. It was obvious he had a crush on the cute girl, and Rei could see he was looking somewhat confused. Could he be like the Ice boy, with powers? Rei let a small frown cross his face. He had only went to this academy to get out of his house and relax, but now it was looking as if he would have to do a lot just to make it out of this unscathed...how troublesome.

 

[Naoto]

"Hello Cindy." Alice greeted. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Alice."

Is that guy making ice? Drew thought to himself. It's probably just my mind playing tricks on me. I'm just a little tired I suppose.

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack looked at the newcoming girl and quietly muttered "Yes I would be just that. An elemental, to be more precise. But with that aroma of burning ash on yourself I can't think that you're all too normal either....that and the lack of surprise that you're exhibiting upon seeing my skills. What art thou?"

 

[SquishyFace]

Cindy chuckled a little bit, "Guess," she told him.

 

[Infinity Storm]

Jack thought for a moment before he said "Hmmm..... since there's an obvious aroma of ash which would impy extreme heat....I'm gonna guess perhaps a Pheonix's regenerative powers? I don't know if this is really a logical guess but I'm at a loss on creatures involving ash."

 

[Murkmire]

Mauve, having stepped off the bus, he could only marvel at the architecture of the academy. He saw the other students socializing, but he didn't feel like introducing himself quite yet. He fiddled with his moth pendant, and waited around for the introductions and whatnot.

 

[Heroic Sociopath]

Ferris awoke just as the bust pulled up to the school. He had napped the entire way there, and stretched, yawning, as he stood up, lifting a metal briefcase in one hand, and a guitar case in the other. He stepped out of the bus. In most schools, he would have definitely violated the dress code: Shirts got in the way of his snakes, and keeping them in was uncomfortable. So he lacked a top, instead with a quartet of black snake heads protruding from his back. Around his waist he wore a pair of black jeans, and just above them, a long, purple tail, much like a scorpion's, protruded. Ferris' unclade feet made soft padding sounds as he stepped towards the school.

Ferris noticed the other students had congregated. It was cold, but Ferris' skin wasn't affected much by it. One of the girls was having others guess what sort of creature she was, and another one, whom the cold seemed to be emanating from, guessed Phoenix.

"No, no, no, I can tell she's a succubus." Ferris said. "They're noted for their beauty." He was actually just making a wild guess. He looked at the school. It reminded him of his hometown. He wondered about the lab.

"My name is Ferris." He introduced himself to the others. Did that dude just say Thou? What was he, Shakespeare?...Then again, having a scorpion tail was probably a bit more odd.

 

[SquishyFace]

"Nice to meet your acquaintance, Ferris," She turned back to the original subject, "I'm neither of those things. The fun thing about being a Changeling is that no one knows who you really are until you show your true form or admit to being one."

 

[Naoto]

The bussess pulled away, as the gates opened to the Academy. A young woman wearing a black dress with pink hair and a black witch hat. She was fairly petite, but she was still fairly beautiful. "Hello, everyone." She greeted. "My name is Angela Hawthorn, but please call me Ms. Hawthorn. I will escort you all to the main hall for the opening feast and orientation."

Not giving enough time for Drew to take notice of Ferris's unique appearance, he walked up to Alice and asked. "Would you like to walk up there with me?"

Alice nodded. "Thank you." She agreed. This boy... She thought. He doesn't seem to act like other monsters, and he smells so sweet... Is he... Human? No! I shouldn't jump to conclusions without any proof! The two along with everyone else followed Ms. Hawthorn to the main hall, which was designed to look like a large cathedral on the outside. When the students entered, it was a large room set up with circular tables scattered through out the large hall, each capable of seating 8 or 9 people. There was a large long table that went along the wall at the other end of the hall, which sat various teachers.

"That teacher certainly had a strange get up." Drew thought out loud.

"Yeah, based on the hat, I'm guessing she's a witch." Alice said.

"A witch?" Drew said a little confused.

"Yeah, like a magic user." Alice replied.

Okay, something has to be up with this academy. The architecture, the strange teacher, and the weird things surrounding the students.

Taking a seat, Alice pulled Drew over to a table where the two sat and waited.
