It is 7:00PM, and the fledglings are just beginning to awake to prepare for a Monday night of school. The early risers are already arriving at breakfast, and the vampyres are awakening as well. Another night is about to begin under the meager light of a barely visible moon.

Alexander had gotten up about an hour or so earlier and was now filling out paperwork in his office. He looked at the clock and smiled faintly. The fledglings would be getting up soon and that would mean that classes would be starting soon. He sighed an went back to his paperwork. He enjoyed his work at the House of Night but sometimes the tedium did get a bit boring.

Jezebella sits up slowly, her dark hair falling over her slender shoulders and pale face. She glances at the window and sighs. Even though she has been a Fledgling for about a week, the fact of waking up to night is still startling. Sleepily, her gaze travels to the empty bed across the room from her. She wasn't used to having a room to herself either. Back in Brimingham, her roommate was always up before her. But that was before she was Marked. Before her parents dubbed her a freak and sent her to this bloody frozen state. Shaking her head, Jezebella begins to get up and get ready for class.

Alexander put down the pen he had been using and stretched in his chair. His muscles felt stiff, him having not used them in almost an hour for anything other than writing. He quickly close the file he had been working on and stood up slowly, stretching again as he did so. Even though he only appeared to be in his early thirties or so, Alexander was actually well over a hundred years old. Everyone knew that vampyres didn't age the same as humans and though his body was young his muscles still tightened fairly often. Because of this the High Priest could often be found at the school's gym when he wasn't busy running the House of night. However, with the fledglings just now waking he figured it would be best to go down to the dining hall to greet the students for the morning. It was with that purpose in mind that he left his office and made his way to the fledgling's dining hall.

After changing into dark skinny jeans, a dress whirt with her Third Former sweater over it, Jezebella heads to the door of her room. At the door, she checks her make-up in the mini-mirror next to the door; black eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. She nods as she slips her black-socked feet into a pair of silver flats. Taking in a deep breath, Jezebella walks out of her room with her black purse in tow and heads downstairs for some Lucky Charms.

Alexander made his way to the dining hall and entered it, taking a quick look around. He saw a few fledglings eating the breakfast provided here but not nearly as many as he had hoped. "It looks like the students still prefer their morning meal in the dorms.." he commented to himself with a sigh before leaving. There was no use in changing the policy here it seemed. And he really had been hoping to inspire all meals to be eaten with the rest of the school, oh well.

A little happier after eating her Lucky Charms, Jezebella steps outside. The cold air of Alaska hits her quickly and suddenly, making her gasp. "Oh, jeez!" she yells, wrapping her arms around her body to conserve her body heat. "Damn this place is colder than I remember," Jezebella mutters to herself, her accent reminding her that she is definitely not going to fit in here. At least I will be with other teens going through the Change.

Alexander chuckled softly as he heard the young fledgling muttering to herself. He hadn't meant to listen in on her but he had been walking from the dining hall and towards the dorms when he saw her. he walked up to her slowly and smiled. "Don't worry, as your body progresses through the change you will barely notice the cold here." he told her with a slight bow of his head. "You were just recently marked, right Jezebella?" he asked her in a soft silky voice.

Slightly annoyed by the cassualness of the Priest's voice, Jezebella huffs, shaking slightly because of the cold wind. "No a-and yes. I-I'm never g-going to get-t used t-to this b-bloody cold. A-and just l-last Sunday, w-when my mo-mother dragged m-me to ch-church," she informs the man, her teeth chattering violently. A vicious shiver makes Jezebella's body convluse and she attempts to make it go away by rubbing her arms with her palms quickly.

Alexander sighed and took off the coat he had been wearing and draped it over Jezebella's shoulders. "You should make your way to class. I'm sure your professors wouldn't appreciate it if I kept you from your work." He smiled at her slightly. "Remember, this is not your old life so do not treat it as such. Make a better life for yourself here. It's what I am sure Nyx wants for us all."

Reluctantly, Jezebella takes the coat and holds it close to her body, the Priest's heat still soaked into the fabric. "My thanks, but I really don't want a new life." She looks at her feet angrily. "I want my old one," Jezebella tells him, looking up to meet his gaze with an angry one. "I do thank Nyx for this brilliant new chance at a better life, but I loved my last one." With her last word, Jezebella nods her farewell to the man and marches off with his coat still draped upon her skinny body. I'll give it back to him later. She tells herself. A wicked smile curls her lips deviously. Or maybe I'll keep it.

Alexander nodded politely to Jezebella as she left and turned to leave himself. Classes would be starting soon and that meant he would need to get to his classroom as well. Like most of Nyx's priests and Priestesses he took time to teach the new fledglings what they would need to know if they were to live their new lives.

Darious grumbled as he looked in the bathroom mirror. His wet hair covered his mark, which was already almost fully filled in. Toby layed at his feet on his back licking at the dripping water from Darious' hair. Darious smiled at his dog and took the towel from around his waist adn started drying his hair. He walked from the bathroom and into his dorm room. He grabbed the dog kibble and poured a cup full into Toby's bowl. Tody rushed forward but stopped when Darious held out his hand. He sat down and waited. Darious moved out of the way and toby jumped forward and began chowing down. DArious got dressed in a pair of his blue geans and his wife beater tank top then over that his sweater and grabbed his jacket and his cigarette. He walks out and leaves the door cracked for Toby. He continued walking till he saw Alexander. HE walked striaght up to him and said, "Hey Alexander" he bowed respectfully his fist over his heart.

Jezebella makes it to first hour early, walking into the classroom with the Priest's coat still draped over her shoulders. Grumpily, she pulls the jacket off and throws it into her locker with force. She slowly gets ready for class, pulling out her needed supplies and her sketch pad. Huffing angrily, she stomps to a desk near the back of the room and sets her stuff down. As she waits for class to begin, Jezebella doodles in her pad.

Alexander bowed his head slightly in response to Darious' bow. "Good evening Darious. Are you ready for tonight's classes?" he asked the fledgling, a true hint of interest in his eyes. Alexander really did care how his students were doing, it was part of why he was given the job. "Also, you know how I feel about smoking." He shook his head slightly and smiled. "Let's try to keep the air around here clean shall we?"
