A couple of years had passed since her experience in the hospital. Demitra thought about it as her sleek black taxi hurtled down the straight road. She thought about it more than she'd care to admit.

Demitra was on her way to her new school - a place called Nevermore Academy, where outcasts were safe from the cruel normie world.

The taxi pulled up to the school - a stunning building of sharp turrets and black brickwork.

As Demitra left the car, she was forced to pull her jacket closer to her as the chilly air cut through her.

''Demi!'' an excited voice squealed from behind her. Demitra had barely any time to turn around as a mousy haired girl barrelled into her with a hug, ''I can't believe your here, it's been too long.''

''Francy!'' Demitra realised happily, ''I didn't know you went here.''

''Well you do know,'' the girl laughed, she then turned around and shouted sharply, ''Isaac come over here, you'll never believe who's here!''

Demitra looked over Francoise's shoulder to see Isaac - she had to admit, the boy had grown up handsomely, his curled hair had almost darkened and he had grown much taller. 

A small smile tugged at his lips as he walked over to his sister and Demitra.

''Rose, it's great to see you again.''

''I can't remember the last time I saw you!''

'' 23 months and 28 days ago.''

''Right, didn't realise you missed me so much.'' Demitra laughed.

Isaac smiled at the girl - thinking how beautiful she had become, he searched her eyes, there sparkle he could remember glinted in them still.

''Well I have to go,'' Demitra smiled, interrupting the boy's stare, ''I have a meeting with the principle.''

''I'll see you around, Rose.'' he smiled.

Francoise couldn't help but watch their interaction - this was the warmest conversation her brother had since his operation. She looked forward to teasing him about it later.

After speaking with the principle, she had found out she was to be staying with two girls - Larissa Weems and Morticia Frump - in a dorm called Ophelia Hall.

She had made her way up the steep staircase up to her dorm and gently knocked the door a couple of times.

A tall, white-blonde girl opened the door and smiled at her, ''Demitra.''
