Chap 1: Say hello to what’s down in the deep
“ When do you think they’ll be called to the stage ?! “ questioned an overly hyper brunette
“ I don’t know Sawyers. We’ve only been in the auditorium for seven minutes and this is the third time you’ve asked “ mumbled an obviously annoyed individual seated next to the brunette.
“ I know but I can’t wait to see the new lines of mortals! “ exclaimed the boy as he bounced around in his seat, “ maybe one of them can join the garden club! “
Grayson, the one sitting next to the bubbly fairy, just scoffs at the idea. A mortal joining a club filled with monstrous carnivorous plants, let alone enjoying it was considered unreal and silly. Everyone knew that the longest recorded time a human survived within these walls was a week. The reason why was because they were under false protection of a certain group of vampires by the time the restrictions were lifted. Lucky and blissfully naive you could say to describe this deceased human being but this long-created event shall continue. In 1,. . .2,. . .3.
The curtains begin to part and the lights from the stage began to pour out into the crowd. It was blinding but also overwhelmingly exciting. The student body screamed and shout as the new year was about to start. A single row of five individuals stood beneath the light, two strings of chain attaching each one to another. Black fabric adorns each of their heads, masking them from the hideous crowd that awaits them.
“ Hello everybody, today is the day we welcome the new round of foo- students. Yes, students. “ announced a solemn Griffin as it flew overhead, “ please remove the sacks from the new arrivals“.
Within seconds of giving the order, a line of professionally dressed monsters came filing onto the stage. Each of the 5 creatures stood behind one blindfolded human before proceeding with untying the dark material around their heads. The first one revealed was a male with curly brown hair, tannish skin, and a slim figure. An athlete. The werewolves are going to have a good chase with this one. The second one was a girl with wavy blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and a rounded body type. Plump and short. A decent blood bag for the vampire you could say. The third one was another girl but she was taller and almost like skeletor with their obvious bony limbs and sunken facial features. This one must be close to dying. It’s a shame that they’ll be ripped apart before their parting.
Right when the fourth one was about to be revealed, the griffin signal them to wait for some reason before speaking once again upon his wooden stand.
“ Before we continue, state your name into the microphone “
The one with curled hair looked at the other two before hesitantly taking a few steps towards the microphone that seemed to magically appear from who knows where.
“ S-Samuel Russo “ he spoke in a semi nonchalant tone, despite his visibly shaken legs.
Following behind in a more shaken state was number three, fingers digging deep into the arm of her baggy sweater.
“ Eli-Elisha w-w.. . Williams! “ she mumbles, almost incoherent even though she speaking into a microphone.
Lastly, it was the blonde girl but her steps seem more robotic. Stiff and slow pace. The strange movement was almost comical to the crowds. Some were even courageous enough to let a few giggles and snorts pass their lips in presence of a school admin which is a big no-no. the Griffin is known for being quite a serious being.
“ Abigail Martin. Sir,‘’ she announced in a more lounder and stern voice, ‘’ if I may ask, why am I here? ‘’
The winged beast simply chuckles at the question before stepping down from his position, tail swinging lowly behind his fluttering wings.
‘’ This is the academy you’ve signed up to. FGA” he answered with a toothy grin, “ it’s short for Fang Grove Academy for monsters “
“ b-but the website showed n-n. . no such thing as monsters! “ Elisha commented quickly with a terrified look.
“ That was because the majority of the theater crew are vampires and werewolves “ snickered the winged beast, “ isn’t that quite a coincidence don’t you think~? “
The three looked at each other with stunned expressions before turning back at the school admin and then at the crowd which roared once again with laughter and shouting. Horns, fangs, and slithering tongues appeared in all their glory as the three mortals let out blood-curdling screams. . .
