2 2: he's my roommate?

The lady holds her hand out to me "then let's go"

I take her hand and everything goes black.

I wake up in a large room with tall ceilings.

There are two beds against the walls parallel to each other.

On the wall in between them was a tall arced window almost reaching the ceiling.

Long midnight blue curtains came down to the floor.

The walls were grey with blue accent design that are the same color as the ceiling and and curtains.

There are four doors one next to each of the beds and 2 parallel to the window. Spaced about 2 feet from each other.

I stand up and walk to the door next to my bed. There's an old fashioned flat chest at the foot of my bed.

The door next to my bed has a marble sign with the name willamean engraved in it.

I reached for the handle but there wasn't one. I went to push on the door but it opened by its self.

I peer inside cautiously, its a closet I think.

I step inside, on either side of me are 2 rows of cloths.

I walk down the long hall till I reach the end or what I thought was the end.

It turns to both the left and right, to the left there was a room that looks like a library, To the right was a moon pool.

"Wow."

"You shouldn't leave this door open."

I jump and turn around startled.

A guy was standing in the door way.

"And why is that" I say making sure I didn't look as startled as I felt.

"If the door is open anyone and everyone can get in" he says with smile.

"And they cant with it closed?"

He laughs "only you can open the door teachers cant even get in."

I'm slightly confused so I just look at him.

"This place is yours. it changes when you change, it knows what you need when you dont even know.

If your subconscious was a place that's what it looks like."

He looks up at me.

I smile and something occurs to me "um no offense but why are you here."

He laughs and shakes his head.

"I'm your roommate silly"

I stare at him like he's speaking Chinese

"But your a guy" he laughs.

"Myrids dont care for for 2 reasons we cant reproduce until we are myrids and legally your an adult if you join this school."

I laugh "And why are you just standing in the door way you can come in."

He shakes his head "no its okay you need to change into something I have to take you to your trials"

I nodd he leaves and the door shuts on it's own.

"Now what do I wear" I look in the mirror at my self.

I turn to look at all the dresses and see a dress hanging on the door.

"odd".

I walk to the dress and take it off the door hook.

The door shimmered and turned to a mirror.

I feel more and more bewildered in this place so I decide I want to get out as soon as possible.

I hate being confused.

I changed into the dress and stared at my reflection.

The dress hung loose, it was dark blue with silver sparkles.

The dark dress matched my pale complexion well.

I found a pair of silver pumps, I found a jewelry box as well.

I picked out a charm bracelet with five charms.

The first was a feathered quill.

Then there was a candle, a crystal sphere, a leaf and the last charm looks like 2 figures swirling around each other.

I picked out a necklace that matched the quill charm.

I picked out some rings with silver bands.

The one that has crystal ink bottle that I put on the middle finger of my right hand.

I found several rings that were just silver bands that went on the top part of my middle finger I did the same thing with my left hand but instead I used a ring with another quill.

I looked around for hair and make up supply's but couldn't find any.

I walked back to the dorm "At least I dont have to do my hair and make up."

The boy from before was waiting In the dorm he laughed when he saw me.

"Do you need help with your hair and make up?" He asks grining knowingly.

I shook my head and smiled.

"I dont have any hair and makeup supplys" my smile became a bit sheepish and I added "i also hate doing hair and make up."

He laughed "sit on my bed I'll be right back."

He turned and walked through the door on his side of the room.

I look at the marble plaque on the door, it read 'Septimus'.

A few minutes later Septimus returned carrying a box and sat down behind me.

My hair is really long I have never cut off more than an inch of my hair so it reaches my knees.

He starts messing with my hair and I get really nervous.

"Maybe I should do my hair" I say quietly my voice shaking.

Flash backs to how my step mother used to brush my hair made me grip the blankets on Septimuses bed tightly.

"Hey its okay I'll be really gentle, it won't hurt at all I promise." He Assures me softly.

I take a deep breath and nodd not trusting my voice. he starts brushing and It didn't hurt, I relax as he brushes through all my hair.

"So Septimus what are these trials?" I ask quietly.

"The trials are how you know what your simpatico is." He replies as he starts braiding and parting my hair.

"What's a simpatico" I wonder out loud. "Its a power" he replys, I can hear the hint of a smile in his voice.

"So what's your simpatico?"

He laughs "you ask alot of questions" he says avoiding the question.

"And your dodging my question"

He laughs more "I'm an empath I can feel and manipulate emotions" I can tell he feels nervous by his voice.

"That's cool"

"Yea. I'm finished with your hair I'll start your makeup."

I nodd and he sits in front of me.

He pulls out some makeup and begins putting it on me.

I close my eyes as he brushes makeup on my face.

"How long have you been here Septimus?" I ask stubbornly not letting us fall into an awkward silence.

"Iv been here about 2 months, can you open your eyes and looks up."

I look up at the ceiling as he put eyeliner on me.

"Septimus?"

Septimus laughs and starts putting lip gloss on me.

"Yes." I start feeling a little nervous.

"last year 2 girls from my school were summoned are they here? There twins, blond hair, blue eyes"

The sound of Brooklyns voice echoed through my head, and I closed my eyes.

"Anabeth and anabelle" septimus replys quietly,

I barely here him over the ringing in my ears.

His hand brushes my arm and he sucks in a breath.

"Willamean wha-" I stand up abruptly and push down all my feelings, and smile.

"So I'm ready we should go to the trial thingy" I say to enthusiastically.

"Wait, the twins, they will be there and they don't know your here.

I'm the only student who does. How bad is this reunion gonna be.

uh oh.

He's looking at me but I cant meet his gaze.

"I geuss will find out" I try to sound non chalant.

"Let's go then" he says nervously. We went into the hallway, which was huge and beautiful.

There were lit torches every two feet. The walk was quiet but it was nice.

It was over to soon.

We reached a huge arc door, as we approached the door swung open slowly the heavy oak wood grinding on the stone floor.
