Glass & Metal (a nonhuman story) pt-1

Sindy

Luna never shut up, and The Mistress never spoke, I felt like I was in the center of TOO happy and TOO anti social.
“So Mistress, do I have to call you Mistress this entire time?”
She kept walking, silently and calm like I dint even ask a question, Luna smirked,
“she doesn’t have a name thing”
“Thing” is what Luna had taken to calling me,
“Well dope bag, she dose. Clearly she doesn’t want us knowing it” I rolled my eyes as Luna smirked again.
The Mistress suddenly kneeled on the cold grass covered ground.
Currently we were in an open patch of field surrounded by Forest, but why dose it look so creepy?.
“What is it nameless?” Luna said looking down at The Mistress like she was a dog,
The Mistress whispered “be quite”
I heard a snapping sound in the distance, Luna did also, and we both went cold when a dreadful screech filled the air, before I knew it there were Ghouls all around us in the blink of an eye.
Growls of hunger filled my ears, I’m gonna die I’m gonna die I’m gonna die!!
“Girls stay back!” the Mistress yelled, Luna dropped to the ground and curled into a ball, trying to shake my fear, I stepped beside The Mistress and prepared to Cast.
“Ill help you Mistress!” I yelled over the growls.
I cast a huge Cast using most of my energy, a huge burst of water shot up around us like a bowl, violently slashing back the ghouls, the thirty foot wave swirled around grabbing the ghouls like extended arms, nobody would ever have guess I cast it.
My wave vanished and water pooled around us. The Mistress drew a sword from under her cloak, it had a long slender deep grey blade, the blade its self glowed blue, the hilt looked like it might be pure quarts, but later I found out the hilt of her sword is made from diamond so the blade and the hilt can never be separated.
“Sindy, this is no test of skill!” the Mistress yelled, “if you fail you die, if you win you still die, kill as many as you can so you can guarantee your body will be left for a proper burial!”
I gulped, that was really the last thing I wanted to hear.
The Mistress pulled a second sword from under her cloak and threw it at me, I snatched the hilt.
Luckily were I lack in Magic I make up in swordsmanship, of course Id never actually used any of my skills before so this could turn out quite odd, and even if I did hit them, it took fire to kill them and I only knew water and lightning Casts.
Dope bag knew fire, but she was to busy ruining her eye makeup by balling her eyes out in a ball on the ground, what a peace of useless scum! Think about it, she’s built to fight, she could probably take there heads off with one clear punch to the head, and still she acts like she needs somebody to save her…coward.
I thrust my sword into the ghouls, it troubled me to see there decomposing body’s fall to the ground like sludge, but at least I could be sure it wouldn’t take much strength to actually stab them since most of there insides have rotted.
“Sindy! Watch your back!” the Mistresses scream caught me off guard, I was trying my hardest to avoid the ones in the front, I could live with a huge scar on my back, my face though… that’s something I could easily choose between, Ill defend my face.
I spun around and slashed at the ghoul who was about to sink his teeth into my neck, my blade dug into his chest but something was different about this one, he wasn’t decomposing, a matter of fact he wasn’t even beginning to!
He was in perfect condition, I was so stunned, wait I know him!!! That’s…
“Sindy!” the mistress wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me back to Luna, once there she Cast fire, all around us the ghouls turned to ash, why couldn’t she do that before?
The grass was gone when she finished her Cast, and thankfully so were the ghouls.
I wondered, why was he here? And in the center of so many ghouls? Why weren’t they attacking him?
The Mistress wiped her blade of the black blood that lined it; she put it back under her cloak and pulled out an empty sheath.
“You fought bravely Sindy” The Mistress told me,
I glanced at the sheath, it was white, and the pattern of angel wings wrapped around it, I was surprised when she handed it to me.
“Not many students would be able to take on a ghoul, they normally do what Luna did, and you have my respect”
I smiled; Luna narrowed her red puffy eyes at me enraged by the fact that I had The Mistresses respect.
“So…” I said glancing at the ash covered ground, “do I still have to call you Mistress?”
“It’s Valkorin, AlvextiaValkorin” She said turning to walk, I nobbed,
“So, Alvextia…”
“Mistress” she corrected.
“What! You told me your name!”
She turned so she could look at me, she shook her head and answered “just because you know my name does not mean
You can call me by it, Mistress will do fine”
I threw my arms in the air and walked past her, I was so irritated I totally forgot to mention who I had seen.


Hellga


I awoke the next morning how I normally would, I combed my hair and changed into my school uniform.
Then I met up with Taylor in the halls, both Jake and Klous were no ware in sight so we decided to get to our first class.
The study of the species, its Taylor’s favorite because we learn about the different species that come to the school.
There were Vampire, Devils, Demons, Angels, Ghosts, Neffya, Werewolf’s, foxten, witches and aliens.
Taylor and Me could not find neither Jake nor Klous in the school room, so we sat down in our usual places and opened our tested books.
Today was the study of Foxten, Foxten look people but are actually spirits that inhabit bodies or something like that,
Professor Howl noticed I wasn’t listening and called me up to the front.
The class room I was in was rather dark, there was only one window in the entire room, a black heavy drape covered it, and the wooden floor was covered by a huge black carpet with a huge golden dragon stitched onto it.
The walls were all a deep brown red wood that looked over polished, and everyone’s desks were the size of dinning

room tables, except there was a hollow in the center were we the student sat, on the tables were various note books and tests, all scattered and messy.
I stood to my feet; my desk was in the back, so I had to walk a little ways before Id reach the front.
Professor Howl is a Vampire; He likes the vampire students in the class and the demons and devils are okay to its just if you’re not a creature of darkness your “unworthy” of his training.
“Yes” I said walking up to his desk,
“I should fail you, you know” he answered.
Professor Howl was the eldest teacher there is in the school besides The Mistress, but he looks like he’s in his mid twenty’s.
His flame red hair want halfway down his back, it looked like he had once bleached it because the hair faded from Flame red to orange to Blonde half way threw his hair, also his eyes are a grayish blue color, most people consider them the color of a mirror,.
He’s not really pale though, he actually has a slight tan, he’s also tall about 6’2 and kinda muscular, but still skinny enough to be considered scrawny, He was in his usual ware, black trench coat and lots of chains, personally he looked cool but he’s really frightening when he gets angry he seemed in a good mood.
“Yeah, I know, but what did I do this time?” I don’t recall misbehaving or ignoring him.
He narrowed his eyes, I had to turn my eyes away, I felt as if he was reaching into my soul and tearing it apart.
“Interesting night last night Miss Von Vayne, report to my office after the lesson”
I really hate it when he reads a persons mind; it’s completely a privacy violation.
I nobbed and turned to leave, but he stopped me,
“And also Miss Von Vayne, pay more attention to the lesson, you haven’t memorized anything I’ve said so far”
I made a face and walked over to my desk, he’s the only teacher who can do that, and I hate it.
So after a long and slow lesson witch I forced myself to listen to because I once fell asleep and got punished.
Taylor jogged over to me as all of the other students collected there things,
“What to go get lunch with me?” she asked twirling a finger threw a red curl.
I shook my head, “no sadly I have to meet up with Professor Howl, I think he wants to talk to me about something that happened last night, hey by the way have you seen Klous or Jake or even Legna for that matter?”
Taylor shook her head, “Nope, why?”
“No reason, I better be going then, talk to you later”
Taylor waved to me as she walked off, I picked up my three note books and headed over to Professor Howls desk, I had to hand in my answer sheet for today anyway.
“Professor?” he doesn’t appear to be here at the moment, maybe he went to get lunch or something.
I sat on his desk with was a deep red color, and the size of our desks but he didn’t have a hollow to sit in.
His desk was actually really neat, there were no loose peaces of paper anywhere; accept the student’s answer sheets
witch actually looked like a wad rather then a stack.
I noticed an envelope hidden under some peaces of white cloths beside me, I couldn’t help but brush the cloth away and read who it was addressed to, some teacher I guess, I didn’t know a Victoria Dark.
I threw my head back and yawned, this better not be some joke.
After a long and depressing ten minutes Professor Howl finally showed up, there was another guy with him, It was Legna by the look of it.
“Finally” I sighed “I was wondering if you’d ever show Professor”
Something was wrong, Legna looked worried and Professor Howl looked really tense, I couldn’t be sure but I think Professor Howls trench coat was lined with blood at the bottom.
“We need to get out of here” Legna said rushing over to me,
“No we stay here; I have cast many of Casts of protection in this room” Professor Howl told Legna as he walked around to the other side of the desk.
I got off the desk, “what’s wrong?”
“It’s the Ghouls, there acting unusually smart” Professor Howl said digging threw a desk drawer.
“What dose that mean?” I asked placing my books on the professor’s desk,
“It means” Legna began, “somebody’s controlling the Ghouls”
“How do you know” I asked raising a hand to my forehead, ghouls being controlled? That doesn’t make any sense at all there dead and stupid, not dogs waiting for a master, sure they’d make the perfect army but really who or what could do that?
“I’m a vampire” Professor Howl said glancing up at me, “you’re aware of my mind reading are you not?”
“Sadly, I wish I wasn’t” I rubbed my forehead as I spoke.
“I can also control other people’s minds, since ghouls are so mentally weak it’s easy to take control of them”

Legna clapped his hands together, “Aka, A vampire is controlling the Ghouls”
All of a sudden professor Howl stood to his feet and yelled “Oh my god!!!!”
Me and Legna snapped to attention, ready to run, preparing Casts, but totally to our surprise Professor Howl snatched my answer sheet and brought it to his face,
“What is this!” he asked turning the peace of paper so I could see.
He poked the page with one of his long fingers, “Miss Von Vayne, you have answered every question wrong!!”
I couldn’t believe he was lecturing me.
“What is filling that mind of yours? Clearly not a brain, dust particles perhaps?”
I rolled my eyes, Legna stepped between us,
“Look” He began, “Ghouls are on there way here, Professor Howl needs to go with the other teachers and wipe them out before they reach the school, we shouldn’t keep him Hellga”
I smiled at Legna and nobbed “yeah, uh, in that case Ill talk to you guys later then”
I quickly ran out of the class room into the hallway, once out I leaned againced the wall and gasped for air.
(Mental note: never let Professor Howl check my work till I leave the class room)
But who would send ghouls to the school, and why?
And were the hell is Jake and Klous, both of them are missing did something happen after I left last night?
