First day

As I stare at the window I ask myself why am I in this carriage. Was it the proposal, curiosty or— no it’s to atone for what I’ve done. I whisper in a low voice “ Will you be the one to devour me or will I devour you.” I take out a small mirror from my pocket and stare at myself. “I’m glad I changed my look or else I would attract more attention than necessary.” I see a young girl with black hair and emerald eyes. I think of the name I should use and decide on Iris. “I’ll think of a last name later.” As I tell myself that I fell the carriage make a stop. I see how the bridge descends and the gate appears. “Eh to be expected” I whisper. “Well it’s about time I started school” I tell my wonderful pet. I would’ve never come if they had said you couldn’t Ether. Ether is my long time friend who I had adopted a few months ago. He had crossed my path with a few injuries. I couldn’t help and ignore his white fur and his blue eye and golden eye. I then realized it looked like he had a sort of moon shape on his blue eye. I patched him up and soon enough he took a liking to me. “Ether remember you must never follow any strangers here and tell me if anyone tries to touch you.” Although Ether was a cat he was quite intelligent for one. The carriage stopped once more and I realized we had finally arrived.

I headed to the principal’s office with Ether. I carried Ether in my arms since he didn’t want to leave. I knocked on the door four times as I was directed to do by a letter I had been sent previously. To my astonishment a young child was awaiting in a comfortable chair that looked to be a throne. It was covered in flowers and vines but that didn’t matter to me. The child looked at me and I looked back at him. I introduced myself but the child did not respond. I believed that I had stepped in the wrong room so as I turned around the child grabbed my clothes and I fell in the ground. “That child is surprisingly strong” I thought. The child then spoke and said, “ Welcome to the academy where one like you will not be able to come out alive.” He smiled and I smiled awkwardly. “Was he messing with me” I thought but didn’t dare say. He said, “ I just wanted to remind you that you’re here for a reason and don’t ask to many question for remember curiousty killed a cat.” He then looked at Ether which Ether then hissed at him. “I apologize Ether didn’t mean wrong” I nervously said. He didn’t mind and I immediately found myself in a room. It looked to be my dorm and that’s how my first day was. I slept that day not trying to worry about the next day because I was sure that tomorrow would be worse. I said goodnight to Ether and made sure to lock the room.
