The moon sank into the far off horizon, I shut my book and got up towards the window to close the curtains, a good days sleep awaited me. As i got to the window i looked out, the second floor window. The ground didn't seem that far below and the sky looked so open.
The stars where starting to fade into the sky. I looked to the trees and saw nothing apart from the nature around me.
"Goodday Sebastian. I'm going to sleep now."
"Understood cousin. Good day." the leaves rustled as i figured sebastian left his gaurd over me. Going back to my bed i tucked myself in and closed my eyes. My dreams were sweet and none disturbing.

I left my gaurd over Jezabelle to go back to my room, the couple that was there before were now no where to be seen. I got out a letter from my breast pocket. I had had it there since i began investigating the grounds. The elders had sent a letter before me and Jezabelle, but i had to inspect it's contents before i could tell Jezabelle i had it. The realashionship between her and the elders was tense. A constant war for doiminace
Dear Jezabelle,
We have sent this letter to inform you of the arrangements that shall be in place while you and your betrothed are attending this establishment in which we entrust a comuninion and partnership shall be incouraged and nurtured....
You shall be coming back to your rightful postition when the year has ended and we entrust that your marriage will be readly accepted and consumated on your return....
James will be arriving shortly after you have settled. With his attitude we have appointed a guardien for him. Alice will be coming with him she is to stay on at the school after your return. She has yet alot to learn......
Inform Sebastian his position at this establishment is to learn, not to be your babysitter. As the leader of our clan you need to learn to control your thirst......
We await your return at the end of the year.
Sincerly,
Elders
Skimming through the letter i established that Jezabelle need not know it's contents. She already knew of James following her into this school, she need not know that his minder was a much younger noble girl who would in no way control or avert the actions of James. His arrogant attitude and careless manners ment he would need to be heavly watched, and by someone who could ensure that he did not bite into the soft flesh of the first human he saw.
I wipped off my swallow tailed jacket and spun it, to hang on the coat rack that took up the corner. I sat down on my bed and looked over the letter again. I would have to stop keeping my eye on Jezabelle to watch James... but i could not leave her side if there was to be more blood spilt. If that were the case she would be more dangerous to the humans then the idiot James....
Letting out a sigh i lent against the back board of my bed and ensured the curtians were closed.... Only a few more days before school started... only a few more days till i would have to face the inevitable...

Jezabelle and Sebastian
