House of water

Lilly rushed to my master quickly pulling a bandage out of her bag. She slowly wrapped it around my master's shoulder to stop the bleeding as she handed him a green glass jar. My master slowly drank the contents of the jar. Lilly explained that it will keep him alive till we get to the academy.

"We need to get to the house of water" my master said as just about managed to get onto his horse

"oh, we don't call it the house of water no more, Now it's the rosebud academy for excellences. She said as she rolled her eyes, she then went on to explain that the new headmistress that took over changed the name and stop contacting the other houses.

"why" I asked with a lot of curiosity.

"well she says the house of fire is full of ego driven warmongers, the house of wind are no good mediators and the house of light are brash and full of themselves.

"she sounds diluted" my master said trying to hide the pain of the gunshot, but it was written all over his face.

"she is plus she's made everything stricter that's why I'm already a hunter at 19" she said with a sigh

"a hunter at 19 that's amazing!

"thanks, it is but she takes most of what we earn, and you can't legally leave until your 22.

Are conversation was interrupted by a painful groan from my master. Lilly and I nodded in agreement that we should leave this conversation until later. We urged are horses to go faster her horse was way faster it must be a racehorse.

We rode for a long time until the forest started to thin out and in the distance was a giant waterfall and to the right was this mansion as we got closer, I seen there was a large fountain. As we got closer to the gate it started closing.

Lilly and I brought are horse to a sudden stop which threw up dirt and dust from the ground into the air. When the dust settled standing in its place there was three girls standing there the one in front had a clipboard and pencil.

Lilly got of her horse let us in April Lilly shouted at the girl. April opened her eyes they were green like mine as she stared me, my master and Lilly down for a few seconds before answering she told Lilly that she knows men are not welcome here without approval of the head mistress.

Lilly replied with he is wounded, and the town would off taken to long to get to. April smirked "oh you should of said that, Emma take the boy and his master to the infirmary" the girl to her right bowed and then brought me and my master to the infirmary as we were leaving the last thing I heard was April telling Lilly that she being brought to the headmistress for punishment.

The infirmary was well maintained almost as if we were in a hospital the nurse was a plump cheery woman with a pleasant smile. She lay my master on an empty bed. "take this "she said handing him a potion, judging by the way my master twisted his face it was a horrible tasting potion.

Afterwards my master fell asleep. The nurse told me he will need three days rest then be good as new. I couldn't just set in the ward for three days, so I decided to explore. went back the way I came to the fountain again, then to the left and up to the top there was seven floors so naturally I went to the top. I looked up at the sign on the wooden double doors it read dormitories. This being an all-girls school I thought it would be best if I didn't go in but as soon, I was about to turn away Lilly opened the door and said to follow her.

"are you all right" wondering if she was punishment was bad.

"yeah I just got lines and detention "she said as she rubbed her wrist.

We got to door number 12, "this is it she said as she inserted the key and stepped into the room, inside there were two single bed, two book cases, two desks and two wardrobes it looked like a normal room except one side was very bright colours like pink, purple and green while the other was navy and black,

Lilly sat on the black and navy bed and pated the side so that I would sit next to her, it then dawned on me I've never been alone in a girls room before my knees started to shake so I sat down quickly. Lilly took a music box out from under her bed.

"woah you have the music box 3000 apparently it plays the devils music" I said in awe

"devils' music" she retorted

"yeah the nuns at the orphanage said that the devil uses this music that sounds like the clash of metal and screams to turn you too the dark"

Lilly smiled "oh you mean metal; it's not devils music and its not all screaming listen"

The music started it was hard to put into words, but this was the music that the gods would listen to if they were marching against to armies of the dark. We sat the and listen to the whole album. "who were they "I asked in delight wanting to hear more.

"they were the Hetfield experience" she said her caramel eyes darted to the door as we heard someone enter.it was a girl her eyes were also a beautiful shade of brown, she was the same hight as Lilly and there was a purple Lilly in her brown medium length hair. I do not think she seen me as she rushed to Lilly and locked lips with hers.
