Depend On Me [18+]

Bad cop

The figure in white snaps his fingers and the glamour around us drops. Gasps of surprise echo throughout the crowd.  We were on a platform surrounded by other students and teachers, who were watching our spectacles. I fight the urge to growl and cover my face.

It's one thing to know your adversaries and be judged. It's another when they're well hidden. 

We were already within the perimeter of the fortress which contained 4 buildings facing each other. Between them stand what looks like shiny glasses? I squint and I tilt my head questioningly. 

They are portals. Kaiden comments catching my gaze.  Portals? I nod my thanks and continue observing. Portals stand between the buildings glittering under the sunlight.

"See." Ms. Hart's voices ring out. "Almost everyone gets caught off guard when they arrive here. Don't feel too bad." Ms Hart encourages the students as they are led down from the platform. 

As I join the crowd, I could feel multiple gazes on me. What was so interesting about me that these people kept on looking at me?  I raise my head confidently and meet their cautious and curious gazes.

Next to me, Kaiden chuckles and turns my head toward a large screen tha- 

Oh hell no. I could no longer put up an indifference mask as my jaw hits the floor. Up there on the large screen was a picture of me. My large high puff in all its glory, my glowing gold eyes, and my teeth bared into a growl as I tighten the rope around the masked figure's throat. 

I hide my face behind Kaiden as we merge into the large crowd. Soon, people start giving their speech about blah blah blah and blah blah blah. However, I was stuck in my head and couldn't relax. 

Finally, they start introducing the instructors, new and old. Before long, I blank out. 

"For your instructor, Ms. Hart from Black Blood, instructor of defense. Michelle Han from the White Hoods, instructor of magic and science ........ and finally, as our special guest, the High Warlock  Sebastian Ange, instructor of strategic decision making and management. Thank you all for participating this year's Alpha Internship." 

My head snaps up and I stare at the stage wide-eyed. Next to me, I could hear Kaiden's rising heartbeats and the cracking of his knuckles as he clenches his fists. 

On the screen, in all his glories, stood Sebastian Ange, the high warlock who helped me recover my memories. 

"Zamora Faye Hunter. Kaiden Black. Carly Anderson. Raol Simons. Eros Dan. Jade Feri." A bright voice rang out next to them. A bright light fizzles in front of us and I gasp. No way.

"Fairies?" I whisper-yell in excitement. 

The light grows brighter transforming into a short woman. She arranges her dress and holds out her hand. "Delilah."

We each take turns to shake her hands. Her hand was so warm and soft that I almost melted. Her vibe was so different from Lena's dominatrix one. 

"I am your assigned guide this week. If you'll follow me." She turns around and starts maneuvering out of the crowd. All around us, fairies were guiding groups into the building. 

"Alright. Here we are. The Flores aka the flower building." She chuckles and leads us into an empty hallway.  " We were given a special case for the two Alphas, but sadly, we couldn't accommodate them due to the dorm's rules. However, we did try to put everyone in the same building although different floors."

My heart stutters and I glance at Kaiden worriedly. He frowns and glances at his flashing bracelet. I look down and notice a flashing number. 1005.
