LUCELLE tapped her fingers on her desk.
More and more students had filed in, filling up the majority of the Hall.
Poor Ivy seemed to be overwhelmed, calling out names and checking her clipboard.

As Lucelle observed the Examiner, a prickling sensation caused the hairs on the nape of her neck to rise.
Reluctantly breaking her concentration, she swivelled around in her chair. No one was staring at her, unsurprisingly.
Sighing and gawked, once again, at Ivy.

It was an odd fascination. One almost certainly brought up by the fact that she was so beautiful.

"Okay, that's everyone." Ivy shouted to an elderly Examiner who was previously slouching in his seat. The corners of Lucelle's lips turned down in anticipation.
Ivy clapped her hands, bringing silence to fall upon the group.

"Alright. You're Group A, are you not?" She inquired. Murmurs of confirmation rippled across the Hall. Ivy scratched something onto her clipboard, before glancing back up at the crowd.
"You all turned eighteen in the month of June?"
Again, agreement sounded from examinees.

The scrawling of a note.
"Okay, perfect. No mishaps will occur, I hope." Ivy glanced pointedly at a group of people in the far corner of the Hall.
A smile curled at her mouth as the cluster appeared flustered.
"Let's begin going over the rules," Ivy reverted back to all-business. "You are to complete the first Examination in silence. After this test, you are free to converse about as many silly things as you wish. If you do dare talk in the duration of this, we will make sure you are escorted from the grounds..."

"...and exterminated."

Lana swallowed thickly.
The pretty Examiner had turned.
Remember what Doctor Whoeveritis had said.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breatheinbreatheout.

Lana had started hyperventilating. Exterminated?
What did that mean?
Death?

Shaking her head violently, she forced herself to focus again.
"We will not fail to catch you nattering. Keep this in mind."
Again, the Examiner stared down the clump at the back.
"Are we clear? Good. I'm Ivy Weather, the senior Examiner for your Examinations. Have you any questions, take them up with Earl, the Inquirer."

Lana noticed the girl in front of her was sporting an expression of utter betrayal. What was up with her?
The attention was brought back to Ivy again.
"This Examination is the theory before your practical Examination. Pay close attention, it may assist you in the long run."

As the papers were being distributed, Lucelle was gawking in disbelief at Ivy. She was a wolf in sheeps clothing.
A devil disguised as an angel.
