Chapter 20
Jacob's POV
I sighed as we arrived. My brothers and I had decided only one of us should stay with them so they wouldn't feel uncomfortable... and it made me laugh how humanly we'd decided who would stay.
We played a game of rock paper scissors.
Unfortunately, Vincent had won, so I had to be away from Hillary for however long it took her to learn her abilities.
I so hoped she was a fast learner.
Jessica's POV
I shivered as I saw a large building in front of me... when I say large I mean huge. And I guessed it wasn't the only building, either. This place was rich.
We pulled up and the limo roared as we came to a stop. The boys all got out but we hesitated in opening the doors. Why? We didn't know what to do, what the say... this was all spinning so fast and I'd long since decided it was out of my control.
Vincent was the one who opened the door for us, and he grinned as I glared at him accusingly, and I remembered the words William had spoke:
~she suits you just fine~
I swear if I was actually the mate of this asshole then fate was a bitch.
"your highnesses!" a dashing young girl ran gracefully up to us, a nervous expression placed on her face.
"we have received word that no one is to know you are here. You do not need to worry, your identity's will be safely hidden away whilst you are at the academy."
I gasped as I realised she wasn't talking to the boys, but to US. She'd called us highnesses!
"umm... if you don't mind Jessica's fine," I told her, reaching out to shake her hand, and she took it reluctantly, as if unsure if she had the authority. I took this as a complement.
"your highnesses, if you please... if you are to be treated as normal girls at the academy you need to attend the meeting in the hall in 15 minute's. If you will, your sires... do you wish for a tour?"
Vincent shook his head. "that will not be needed. My brothers and I have been to this academy, after all, and we know just where everything is... we will show them to their dorm."
The girl (a maid?) nodded and hurried off, a smile on her face as she ran off to, I guessed, tell someone we had arrived.
Vincent smiled at me before snatching my hand in a fierce grip that I couldn't get out of. I glared at him as he led me into the large building, Hannah and Hillary closely following.
"these are the dorm buildings," Vincent gave us the tour, "the rest I am sure you will be shown. Now, if you please, this is your dorm-"
Suddenly a girl who looked about my age (which is 17 now remember) rushed out, and banged into Vincent's fierce body.
"what the-?" she looked up and saw Vincent frowning down at her, and she lept back in suprise.
"y-your highness! I am truly sorry - please forgive my-" she stared at me with an accusing look and I immediatly shot back one that said 'what did I do?'
"it is quite alright," Vincent told her, smiling at her warmly, and she seemed to melt at his feet. "I guess this is one of your dorm mates, Jessica, Hannah, Hillary-" Vincent told us.
"my name is Florence, you highnesses." she did a little curtsy.
"Florence, please understand that you are not to tell anyone that they are the future Queens, yes?" Vincent told her again giving her that killer smile, and she nodded, smiling back.
"of course, your highness. I wouldn't DARE," she told him. He nodded and tried to peck me on the cheek, but I spat in his face before stepping away, making him chuckle.
"I will see you later, Jessica." Vincent smiled, before ushering the three of us into the dorm.
It was very fancy. A huge room consisted of 5 beds, each with it's own chest of draws, 3 huge wardrobes, a window, an enormous bathroom with a tub that could fit 10 people, a basin and a toilet. I didn't doubt for a minute what the clothes in the wardrobe would be like. The beds were 4 poster, with red sheets and curtains to block you off from the rest of the room.
A girl was lying on the far bed, and she shot up when she saw us enter. She had silky black hair and a sort of uniform on, the same one Florence was wearing, but Florence had long golden girls. She'd been reading a book, and with my new vampire sight I could make out the title: 'The History Of Vampire's'
"hi!" she called, waving. "my names Vanessa! You guys best get changed into your uniforms... it's the assembly in 10 minutes."
I gasped at her hurry to get studying again, and went over to the wardrobe to find a black uniform with a red cross on it, a flouncy mini skirt and tights, and little black school girl shoes. Everyone had the same.
"alright," Florence began. "you," she pointed at me, "Vincent is MINE," I was shocked at her sudden change in personality and my face clearly showed it.
"I was born a vampire and SHOULD of been a pure blood, my whole family is rich and I deserve the prince... so he may of changed you but you most certainly aren't his mate. And I will NOT let you flounce around here acting like you own the place, because I am in EVERY WAY better than you,"
I sighed. "fine with me - you can have him." and I was satisfied with her freaked out face as I brought my uniform to the bathroom to get changed.

Hillary's POV
I made my way to the assembly silently, as I melted away into the crowd of girls around me. It was a river of girls and I was stuck in the current.
I sat down on one of the plush velvet chairs in the huge hall. It was right in the middle of the schools huge quad and was pretty impressive. Hannah and Jessica sat either side of me, Florence was at the end glaring at Jessica whilst Vanessa sat happily chatting away to Hannah about god-knows-what.
"ahem," we heard a firm voice up on the speaker, and everyone shut up as we turned to look at a greying woman in front of us who still managed to look beautiful, smiling at us.
"welcome, new students. Welcome to Redford, the officially best vampire school in the whole world. We train newborns with all their powers and everything... and I just know you will all love your time here."
Everyone began to mutter for a minute before she tapped the microphone and everyone's attention was back on her.
"there will be the following classes: fight training, special ability, vampire history and talent class. This semester we are very lucky to have none other than Prince Vincent, here to asses the school and it's pupils."
Then the muttering really grew, and everyone was looking the Vincent who'd eyes were on Jessica, and she blushed scarlet. I didn't think vampires could blush... haha. No one else had noticed him looking at her, they were all to engrossed in him.
"alright, alright, settle down. Here are a few things to go by; you will have golf carts to use on school grounds AND SCHOOL GROUNDS ONLY, and no other modes of transport will be permitted. You will get to class on time and do your work well... and the last thing, school rules."
Everyone groaned at it's mention, but the lady growled into the microphone.
"you will abide by the rules at ALL TIMES, if not there will be several consequences. Rule 1: always wear school uniform. Rule 2: whilst you are in school, do not use your abilities other than in class or in self defence. Rule 3: never attack another pupil. Rule 4: NO flirting with sir Vincent will be allowed. As you all very well know all three of the princes have found their mates, and they do not need you girls harnessing them. That will be all. Lessons start first thing tomorrow; bright and early. I hope you enjoy your time at Redford. Your headmistress, Mrs Fletcher."
She moved off the podium and people began filing out. Vincent had flashed to the door and girls were asking his autograph, ignoring the non flirting rule to a great extent... but we just rushed past him, trying to keep out of the current this time because it too often led to him.
Vanessa was the only other girl headed straight for the door.
"those idiots," Vanessa sighed as we passed a pushing Florence. "didn't they hear Mrs Fletcher? No flirting! Vincent has found his mate... he's not that handsome anyway,"
We all laughed because she sounded like Hannah and Jessica, making our way back to the dorm. So typical of girls to fall straight into Vincent's hands... it was 1 direction all over again, except we were locked in the centre.
We got back to the dorm and got into the chest of drawers. I heard Jessica sigh as she dug around in the flimsy gowns Vincent had packed her, finally finding a semi-decent pink (she breathed harshly through her nose) crop top with matching shorts that just covered her private parts.
Hannah sighed happily because William had packed her some sky blue PJ's that slipped onto her easily, whilst I grabbed a purple velvet nighty that made me feel tired just being in it.
Vanessa wore some PJ's too, but he too was yellow tank with a giraffe on it and her bottoms were orange and cut to 3/4.
"Night guys," Jessica muttered, switching off the lamp by her side and I slid into bed. The mattress was so warm and welcoming and I began to nod off.
"night," I muttered, pulling the cord on mine so we were bathed in complete darkness.
