"Hn...excited, aren't we?"
"Ru...!"
"Yes, little one. The power is somewhere in this place, and we will search for it together. But for now, you would have to stay inside. We shouldn't make any commotion now, should we?"
I removed the tiny black demon trinket from my necklace and ignited it with my dark fire ability. In an instant, it burst into flame and disappeared, as so my little demon, Kuratz. Licking the black spot on my left palm, I gathered my stuff and headed towards the entrance of the place. It was named Alamore High School, a place where youngsters aged between eighteen and twenty are sent to to study. I could not care less about school and studying. But my arrival to the school was of a much greater purpose.
The Heart of Clandestine. The name itself suggested how tremendous the amount of power it held. It was kept a secret even amongst the higher ones of the royal clan. None had laid their eyes upon it, but it was told that the heart had a magnificent shade of vermillion and its glitter could put the biggest diamond to shame. And I was on a quest to seek for it and claim its hidden power as mine.
I was born as Orpheus de Valentin, a proud, true-breed vampire, almost one and half decade ago in the mystical land of Athens, Greece. My clan, though not one of the royalty, was amongst the strongest vampire clan ever existed and is still existing on Earth. However, due to an incident that occurred more than sixty years ago, I was banished from the clan and is now on the search for power to prove myself worthy of the clan.
Ring....!
"...it is time. Just wait, my Lord. I shall prove to you my true ability..."

"Class, today we will be joined by a new student. His name is Orpheus de Valentin. He is from Greece and has transferred here with his family over the weekend."
I heard the sound of laughter and jeering. Annoyance, but I could not be preoccupied with such useless, mindless people. I kept a cold, aloof face as I entered the stuffy room, not interested with the constant mocking from the male humans. It did not take long for me to find the leader amongst the monkey-boys, and I gave him an icy stare. In an instant, as if he was hypnotised, he muted himself. And the rest of the class followed suit.
"Please introduce yourself to the class, Orpheus."
"...good morning."
I scanned the whole class as I talked. It got to be somewhere around here, I thought. All the students were now paying attention to me - all but one girl. One particular girl. I kept on staring at her as I continued my words, and when she finally looked into my eyes, I felt a strong invincible force between us. The Heart of Clandestine! My pulse picked up pace and was racing, though it did not show outwardly.
'So, we finally meet each other...my little princess...'
"Okay then, you may be seated beside...Miss Alesius. You are fine with that, aren't you, Alesius?"
"...of course, Miss Page."
I kept a cool face as I approached the empty desk beside her and sat down. Nevertheless, deep inside, I was filled with a sense of victory and pride that I had finally found the mystical Heart of Clandestine. Now, it was only a matter of time before I crush the girl, capture the heart and claim its power as mine.
