What did she just say? Ten? Oh my goodness, someone needs a doctor.
“Nancy, that isn’t a way to welcome a new student. Apologize to her, will you?”
” I don’t think I asked a wrong question, ma’am. This place is supposed to be for adults only and not kids like her.”
” Point of correction, Nancy, she is not ten. And just in case you wanna know further, she is married.” Their eyes widened in surprise. ” So, I want each and everyone one of you guys to mind your business.”
We walked further around the castle. I discovered some places with a similar resemblance with that of the fortress. With this it made me felt much like home in here.
We returned back to the main castle, Mrs Joyce took me to my new room. She looked at the cloud from the window, then at me.
“I would have loved you to start your first class by tomorrow, but your husband says you needed the training urgently. So, I’ve talked to my sister’s about it, your first class starts tonight.” She said and left.
” Time? I should be ready before then, right?”
“Nine o’clock. In case you are confused on your class, meet me at the Sister’s hall.”
” I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.”
” Anytime.” She left.
I went into the bathroom for a quick bath. I returned to the room, throwing myself on the bed. Just as I wanted, it felt soft on my skin.
It’s still minutes past three, and I’ve got a lot more hours to nine. Right now, I feel so impatient to attend my first class
I try to imagine how it would be, maybe like those history class back then when home was still home.
So, about the incident earlier, the so-called Nancy trying to play smart head over my life. I mean, what does she think she is.
I know I’ve got an enemy on my first day at the camp, and I can’t explain how it feels.
It doesn’t feel good, because somehow, my instincts tells me she is gonna have me dead even before I leave this place.
It’s all over her face, the anger and hatred she had used to ask me of my age like we’ve met somewhere before. If we had, I don’t remember that.
I’m just gonna try and play calm. Who knows what kind of power she possess? I don’t think my brain can access that either.
I’m not scared, don’t get me wrong. I’m only trying to be careful.
After the whole thoughts and the rest of them, I dozed off.
And the next thing I heard was the loud sound of the camp bell. d@mn, it sounds more like those roman church bells.
I walked to the wardrobe, searching for a new dress to put on. The gowns in here looks like those ancient 90’s.
I picked a white long gown which gave a perfect match with my long blonde hair.
From my room I heard the bell ring again. It’s Nine o’clock!!
And from afar I could see girls of different height and age walk to their various classes.
I took my long brown book into my hands, heading out for my first training class. I’m so d@mn excited!!
I got to the sister’s hall, seeking for Mrs Joyce. I was so disappointed when I was told she wasn’t around for the meantime.
I kinda prefer Mrs Joyce company to anyone. I just wished she’s here to direct me to my first class. And hey, don’t think it’s about Nancy. No.
“Don’t worry, I’ll show you to your class.” Mrs wh@ťěver said to me and we headed to my first class.
“So Mrs. . .”
“Just call me Theodora. Dora would be nice though.”
” So, Dora, how ready are you for this journey?” She asked.
” Very ready.” I said with full confident in me. ” I’m very ready.”
” That’s good to hear, Dora. Though, you must know this, you are likely to encounter troubles and cases from the other students.”
” You’re talking about being bullied?” I asked
” Yes.” She said with a nod.
“So, adults of their age do bully too?” I was surprised.
“Bully isn’t about age, Dora, it’s natural. I hope you get used to the other students.” We were standing before a door. ” Once again, welcome to the camp.”
“Thank you.” I took a deep breath, exhaling heavily.
” Good luck.” I looked at her, nodding with another sigh.
I pushed the door open, making my way in. They were all staring at me and I felt like. . . “God Help Me.”
I won’t say it’s a room, because this room was so large and wide.
It resembles a hall, a class hall I’d say.
I sat on an empty seat, tracing my eyes around this gigantic hall. I could see different girls just like me with those I guess were my mates.
Then, a young black haired lady walked in. I stared at her face and I could remember seeing that face before.
Yes, she’s one of the White Sisters.
Professor Gwen…
“Good evening girls. ” She greeted as she made her way to the front.
“Good evening, professor Gwen.” They all chorused.
” I guess we have a new comer. . . ” As if this was their first time, their gazes once again fell on me.
I wish somehow those eyes can plug out from their sockets.
