You were in school one day, hanging with friends, when a pale man walks to you, index finger outstreached. He says, "You have been chosen by the Godess Nyx to go through the Change! Accept your destiny, and go to the House of Night!" You suddenly go unconsious. When you wake up, your friends are gone, and you have the stranest feeling of pain on your forehead. 'Great' you think, remembering what had happened, 'Now my friends will think I'm a freak, god knows how my parents will react, and I have to go to some bording school with a bunch of other outcast kids.' You rush to the nearest bathroom, and look in the mirror. Your skin has grown lighter, or at least that's how it seems. A sapphire outline of a crecent moon is on your forehead, giving your face a look of immortality, and pure beauty.
In this world, Vampyres are well known about. They're pop stars, college professers, and even grocery clerks. All trying to fit in and make a way in your world. Each Vampyre has a filled in Crecent Moon on their forehead, with different patterns that cascade on their skin from the Mark, to their jawline. You don't se the Mark, though. It's covered up with a special makeup. No other makeup could ever hide the sapphire Mark in your skin.
You're already changing. In the next four years, you will go through the House of Night: A school for those going through the Change. If you don't go to the school within twenty-four hours, you'll die. You see, You're considered a Flegling. That's the Vampyre name for Student. One in every ten Fleglings actually completes the Change. The rest die.
The Headmaster of your school, is called the High Priestess. Her name is Hera. She chose her name after the godess of Marrage, Woman, and Childbirth. There are no locks, or security on anything, because Vampyres can sense when your lieing. They can kind of read your mind, but no Flegling is sure how it really works.
Vampyres and Fleglings worship the godess Nyx. Nyx is known in the human world as the Greek goddess of Night. They are in awe of her power in the ancient stories, but also fear her deeply. In Vampyre lore, the godess Nyx guides them everyday. She represents love, compassion, and darkness. She commands the elements, and the Vampyres are her children. She has given many warnings, and aides, but one of the most importaint was given to Zoey Redbird. 'Darkness does not always mean evil, just as light does not always mean good.'
Some Fleglings have powers given to them by the godess. They can be anything from an affinity with the elements, to getting detailed premonitions, to having a connection with cats.
Every full moon, all People in the House of Night come togeather to have the Full Moon Ritual. In the ritual, they summon all five elements to the circle. Then make announcements, and thanks to the godess. They then send around a goblet of wine to take a sip of [Fleglings can't get drunk. Alcahol dosn't register in their systems.]. After, they send the elements away, and go back to their dorms.
Exept for the members of the Dark Circle.
The Dark Daughters are a group of girls and some guys who get togeather and have their own circle. It's an elite group, and only the outstanding students are chosen to be in it. The leader picks them in any way she sees fit. The current leader of the Dark Daughters is Pandora. Her name suits her well. She is a beautiful girl. Long blonde hair, beautiful light blue eyes, but she is the meanest person you'd ever meet. She is the most popular girl in the school, and wants everyone to know it.
Your story will start as you enter the school. You will be assigned a roomate, and you'll have to deal with highschool problems, as well as the Change.
