New beginning _shadows of st luca

Melly thought it had all ended and a new beginning had started in her life. She decided to make this new chapter a happy one, free from war, fear, and revenge. She longed for a peaceful existence—the kind she had always dreamed of—a life with Arkins and his family.

For a while, everything seemed to turn out for the best. Melly, Arkins, Zyren, Ezra, and Selene all entered St. Luca College, determined to start fresh. It didn't matter who they were—vampires, sorcerers, or something in between. They deserved to experience life to its fullest, to carve out a future untainted by the bloodstained past they had left behind. It was the greatest decision they had ever made, a chance at normalcy. But what awaited them at St. Luca was far from peace.

The moment they stepped onto campus, an eerie sensation filled the air. It wasn't the bustling student life or the whispers of excited freshmen that unnerved Melly. It was something deeper, something unseen yet felt in the bones. The college carried an aura of secrets, an unspoken tension lingering beneath its grand facade.

Their first week seemed ordinary—classes, meeting new people, settling into dorms—but strange occurrences started unfolding. Shadows that moved unnaturally at night, murmured voices in empty hallways, students disappearing for days only to return with hollow eyes and absent minds. It was as if the school itself held a presence, something dark and ancient, watching them, waiting.

Melly tried to ignore it, focusing on her classes and her newfound freedom. Arkins, ever protective, kept a close eye on her, sensing the same eerie disturbance. Zyren, Ezra, and Selene brushed it off at first, eager to enjoy their new lives, but even they couldn't deny that something was off.

One evening, as Melly walked back to her dorm alone, she felt it—a cold, creeping sensation wrapping around her like invisible chains. She turned, expecting to see someone following her, but the corridor was empty. Then, a whisper, soft but chilling, echoed through the air.

"You don't belong here."

Melly's breath hitched. Her magic flared instinctively, sending a ripple of energy through the corridor. The lights flickered before returning to normal. She stood frozen, her heart pounding. Was it a trick of the mind? Or was something—someone—trying to warn her?

She knew then that their fight wasn't over. St. Luca College had its own darkness, and whether they wanted it or not, they had just stepped into its shadows.
