Secrets Of Haneul Ridge Academy

PROLOGUE

Yoon screamed through sobs, "Let's go, Raven! Let's go!

But Raven didn't move.

"Why didn't you defend yourself?Yoon cried, shaking him. "You could have stopped her! You could have defended yourself easily!even if it means hurting her you know you could do that Raven”,

Her voice cracked in anger.

"You still chose not to hurt her… even now. You tried to protect her, knowing she was hurting you and about to kill you,Why?

Raven's body suddenly went limp.

He slumped completely and collapsed.

Chapter one

At twenty I was entering my first day as a new student at Haneul Ridge Academy. The hall of the Elite looked beautiful.

Stepping down from the car and balancing my box on my head,I immediately felt the weight of dozen eyes on me,students gathered at the drive way glancing at my way with curiosity

A firm cold arm brushed towards my hand holding me firm

Looking up I saw a tall lean figure with cold eyes and almost unreadable face bending down to help me with my box.

"I can manage,thank you". I tried to refuse his help,but he insisted and there is an authority with the way he move.

Together we walked towards the elite hall ways.

Some students were looking at our directions,but he lead the way as we walked towards the long stairs leading towards the direction of the female hostel,

"I am Raven soo,he said finally,his voice low and controlling,"I am a final year student and I supposed you are the transfered student ?

I nodded, trying to steady my racing heartbeat. "Jina Park," I replied. "I'm also in my final year. And yes, I'm the transfer student."

As we ascended the stairs and reached the female hostel,a slow breeze suddenly blow to my side as I turned to Raven,he didn’t move an inch,his gaze sill focus towards the door,

He dropped the box and turned immediately with out looking at me and left.

I insert the key given to me, and inside the room it was very dusty, The mistress had explained that the student who was supposed to occupy this room with me had fallen ill months ago and hadn't returned. It seemed I would be staying alone for now. I picked up a brush and start sweeping,

As I get to the corner of the mattress,all of a sudden a black bird burst out from the side of the mattress and flew out of the open window,

I trembled and could feel the beats in my heart,rushing towards the window and there standing close to the tree is raven,

He look up at me and smile waving his hands

“Sorry about that jina park,Things like that always happen expecially to new student,you don’t have to worry you would get use to it”.

Raven speaks as he left without looking back.

I turned back to the room a bit scared,I have so much about the school and how it is filled with so many magics and students playing with stuffs I couldn’t imagine,but that was not the reason I came here,

I came here for a purpose..my father was an investigator,after he was called for a case here,since then he started behaving somehow which later lead to his death.

And to think that he transferred me here a month before he died.

I picked up the brush and starts dusting the remaining part when a knock came at the door,getting at the door and opening it stands a young girl,tall with white hair and cold face,she smiled and brought out her hands

“I am jan-Dee,but friends called me Jan,My room is the first room after yours,I heard you are the new student”?

She continued without waiting for reply,

"You have to hurry up and come down for dinner or you miss your food,Trust me,it won’t be fun". She left after saying the last words.

Getting out of my room,i saw Jan standing right opposite my room smiling as she looks at me,

“I haven’t left,I know you would be needing a companion and lucky you,you find one”,Jan speaks as she smiled

"I… don't have anyone yet," I admitted.

"you do now," she said with a playful wink as we started walking.

"welcome to the least pleasant school you'll ever attend. I hope you survive it long enough to enjoy something."

I froze midstep,

'' What do you mean by that?I asked with some tiny beats in my heart.

She scoffs as she continue ,”you really have a long way to go but don’t worry,I will pull your through”.

Several students passed, greeting her politely. Some bowed. Some whispered. She returned their greetings but didn't look at them..

"We should hurry. If we're late, they'll make us stand with trays balanced on our heads while eating. And trust me… you don't want that."

She rushed ahead and stole a seat at a table, leaving one beside her.

I followed, still confused and uneasy.

Students were settling in.

talks about me floated around, but none loud enough to hear clearly.

That was when a tall boy walked past,that was Raven.

His presence was calm as always. Jan called his name, but he only turned briefly, bowed to her, then looked away without acknowledging me.

"That guy," Jan whispered, biting into her bread, "is the strangest person here. He doesn't talk to anyone unless he has to."

But,Jan lowered her head as she speaks to my ears “I heard he is a vampire”Shhh!! Don’t mention my name”.

Jan continued eating behaving she didn’t say anything.

I was now a bit scared,should I still continue my investigation or just leave here in peace rather than pieces..

“Hey newbie” a hand brushed my shoulder as he sat down opposite me,

He is tall,dark eyes with a smiling face

And yeah,he has an amazing voice,

“I am Minho,class president and I heard you are the new student?

He leaned forward towards me,”looking at you,you look very calm and gentle for the likes here,you made your investigations?

My face went cold again,suddenly he burst out laughing,

“Don’t mind me,just teasing,welcome to the world of fantasy,I hope you will enjoy every beat of it”

Minho speaks as he stood up and turned to Jan,he smiled at her and left..

Jan noticed the look on my face as she held my hands,

“Minho is a mischievous kid,you don’t have to worry about what he said,come on let’s eat and go up early for tomorrow’s class”.

I picked up my spoon still my heart can’t stop beating to what he said.
