The next morning, I opened my eyes feeling confused. The whispers are gone!
Help! Why didn't he speak to me? I've been hearing it since my 18th birthday! Although it's annoying, hearing his charming voice gives me hope that he's still alive, that he's still with me.
Did he leave me too? Great! Everyone close to me keeps disappearing. I took a shower and got ready for class. I looked over at Alexis' bed, but it was empty. Whatever.
As I reached the door, I sighed deeply. I've decided to trust my instinct and let it guide me wherever it leads me. The whispers are gone; that's not a good sign, but I won't give up on him.
I had no idea where the class was, but I let my instinct take charge. To my surprise, it brought me exactly where I wanted to go. The first thing that welcomed me was a unique scene, hitting my nose. I don't know how to describe this, maybe someone is baking vanilla milk cakes. I walked into the classroom, and all eyes turned to me.
The first person I noticed was Anastasia! I smiled and waved at her; she forced a smile and looked away. She's sitting in the back row! I also noticed there were very few students.
Fortunately, there was an empty seat next to her. Without hesitation, I walked over and sat down. "First, this is a VIP class, as you can see there are not many students, and second, you shouldn't be sitting here," she said, clearly unhappy.
"I know being friends with me has cost you a lot, you can stop being my friend if you want," I replied.
"Hello, Miss Megan. I hope you will enjoy your first class," a lady standing at the front of the class said.
I smiled and nodded. It was obvious everyone knew my name. Getting used to it is what I'm planning to do.
"So, let's pick up where we stopped last week…"
I glanced at Alexis, who was giving me a mocking smile and raising an eyebrow. I frowned. What's up with her?
Once again, I felt someone watching me. I looked around and caught a glimpse of someone sitting in a corner. And the mouthwatering smell is stronger!
I turned back and flinched. He was staring at me, my frown deeper. Something was unsettling about the way he was looking at me.
I won't lie, he's very good-looking. Since I started dating and watching male models on TV, I've never seen anyone this attractive. His skin is pale, like a ghost.
I quickly looked away. His eyes are sharp, and the danger around him is twice what I felt ever since I entered this school.
He didn't seem ready to study. What was he even doing here? Could he be… a ghost that only I can see?
I gasped. "Who is that man?" I asked Anastasia, wanting to know if he was really a ghost.
Anastasia sighed, "Oh, him," she didn't bother to look his way. "That's Liam."
I frowned. It turned out he wasn't a ghost.
"So, these forgotten races called Changelings are the most gifted races in history."
Hearing that, I quickly focused on the teacher, because it grabbed my interest.
" We all knew the witches had been the talk on human mouths, we believed all magics were Witchcrafts, but no, the changelings' crafts are more powerful than the witches"
" If that's the case, what's their relationship? Where have they all been this time? As a new student, this is my first time hearing about them" a student asked.
The lady smiled and nodded, "Good question, Grace, that's why I said they're forgotten races. They hate the spotlight and let the witch take it, even if they do bad things, people will still suspect the witches. But know this, the witches and Changelings are siblings."
" But Miss Raine, Who is their Mother?" Grace asked again.
Raine paused for a moment, "Hecate," she replied. " She is a Greek goddess with Magic or witchcraft. The sister of the moon goddess and goddess of night"
" Interesting, I heard the moon goddess is the mother of the Werewolves and also the oldest"
" Correct!"
" But what about the goddess of night?"
" Ahhh, according to what I heard, I think she's responsible for the existence of vampires, and also the youngest"
" Really? But…."
" Enough!" Katherine yelled and hit her hand on the desk.
" If you want to know more about them, go to the library"
I looked at Katherine in annoyance, there are many annoying people here but, going to the library is cool.
" So, I hope you all understand, the changelings are very much hidden, they might be in our midst, but do not fear, we have the mutant hunters surrounding us," she smiled as she packed her books. " See you next class"
As soon as she left, Anastasia stood without a word and left. Well, I'm glad she's still alive.
" Do you think we have immortals around us?" Grace suddenly asked me, I'm very sure she's one of the careless humans who talk anyhow.
" Why are you asking?"
" Ahhh, I think this school is somewhat creepy, with many dead bodies and some deadly restricted areas", she whispered. I chuckled; no matter how much she whispered, the vampires would still hear her.
" What do you think?" I raised a brow " I'm eating brains and heart too"
She froze, almost peeing on herself, "You mean... You're not a human"
I laughed, "So you believe something easily, look at me" I pointed at myself ", Do I look like a zombie?" She laughed and shook her head "You scared me, you're the only nice person here, let's be friends"
" Bad idea" I murmured.
" I can also be your friend too," someone else said. " Hello, my name is Daniel," he smiled at us.
I looked up at him and forced a smile, it's obvious someone is watching my every move! I stretched out my hand to shake him, he hesitated and glanced at Liam, " ahhh, nice meeting you," he said to me, " warm", I said to him. He looked at me in surprise, I raised a brow, then gave him ' I knew you were a werewolf' look.
" Thanks, you're talented, Miss Megan. How about this? Follow us to the glass building and let's celebrate your first class," he suggested.
" This is also my first class", Grace jumped up and clasped her hands", we will love to" and held my hands. I looked at her hand and frowned. Feeling comfortable, I pulled away from her grip and nodded at Daniel.
" Oh, no problem," he said and left. I glanced at Grace, I hate how I'm feeling about her.
After some minutes, I found myself sitting among tigers and lions. We sat around a big table, and mouthwatering foods and drinks filled the table. Grace was busy wolfing down the mountain of food before her. Weird, just as I thought, there's someone who's at least normal in this school.
They glanced at Liam, nervously. Thankfully, he's on his phone. I couldn't figure out what I'm feeling. For the first time, someone makes me nervous. And I was tempted by his good looks. I've done several research projects on vampire princes, but never met one. With his pale and white skin, I'm very sure he's a vampire.
I poured myself a wine and gulped, I can't believe I'm currently eating with the enemies. But I don't care, my instinct isn't against it, but weary of the gullible human girl.
" Hello, my name is David, your senior, hello are you even listening?"
" She's busy staring at Liam" Alexis suddenly said, making Liam look up.
