Chapter 3

Violet regains consciousness as she scrunched up her nose. Her body throbbed loudly and her muscles ached. Slowly she moves her hand to her eyes and removes the sleep before pinching the bridge of her nose, trying to ignore the pain.
She felt something soft touch her hand, like silk. She opens her eyes to be met with a white tulip inches from her face. Violet blinks in confusion and stares at the white flower. She then looks around her to see that she was lying in a flower bed of tulips. She tried to sit up, but her body refused to move as her eyes look around. She looks to her right to see a large window and a tall brick wall. The whole building looked new from her perspective.
She stops movement through a window. Squinting her eyes, she spots two boys.

One of the boys has shiny, silky blue hair that reminds you of the deep blue ocean, he's also wearing a thin black head band that sits gently in his spiky hair. His hair is as prickly as a porcupine in reality, however it appears to be silky and sleek. His eyes are brown with a special hint of gold in the middle and he is wearing a bright blue tie that compliments his blue hair. His olive green jacket hangs off his shoulders and his sleeves are rolled up which gives the impression he is a rough kind of guy.
The male standing next to him though is a bit taller than him and has a nice lavender hair that goes down to his shoulders. He is wearing some sort of school uniform that consists of a white school blazer with gold embroidery. He wears it with white dress shirt and a blue tie. He also is wear a black-grey vest and black belt with the school sun logo as the belt buckle. His pants are grey and he wears it with black boots.
He seems to be a clever sort of person. But in his arms he is holding a white rabbit with a red and white ribbon around his neck tied together by a bow, that would remind you of candy canes.
Violet tries to call out for help but all that she could creat was quiet hoarse whines, she stretches her arms out to reach out but she could more her arm fast enough to become noticed as it pained her to much to do so. The two boys disappear from sight and Violet gets hit by a wave of sleep as her vision becomes fuzzy and she falls unconscious once again.

Violets body started to lift slowly but not by her own doing. She woke to the feeling of her by stretching and she could feel all her cuts reopening and every muscle screaming in pain at this movement. She opens her mismatched eyes to see a bright white light surrounding her, blocking her view of what was once around her. Then she was dropped onto hard white tiles in the dark shadows of what seemed to be a large lobby. The drop made her fall onto her stomachs and wind her as she struggles to breath and her bruises seem to get worse. She was gulping for aid now, trying to breath but she started coughing instead as she felt something vial in the back of her throat. She couldn't stop coughing as her messy noted hair fell everywhere and her cold dirty clothes cluched her body. Her coughing was getting louder and more violent as she tried to push her self off the floor. Her arms where shaking and gave out as she splutters blood all over the floor. She gasps for breath as she stared at the vile pile of blood in front of her. She lifts her head up, her body shaking and struggler long for suck a simple action and she finally realised she wasn't alone in this large room. Her vision started to get hazy once again as a boy with short blonde hair ran to her side.

"Are you ok? Zeus, she needs help ..."the boy says as he crouched down by her side. Violet shook even more as the boy moves his hand to touch her and her coughing fit starts once again and her failed attempt of pushing her self down her head hits the floor. She wheezes as her vision gets foggy and she falls unconscious for the fourth time that day.

|||Zeus POV|||

"Everyone has arrived" I say to the nine gods and the human I summoned. I look around the room glaring at each one. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ... where's that girl? she should be hear. I start to hear coughing from the back of the room and I look over to where it is coming from. It was the girl. She looks like someone tried to kill her. Covered in bruises and cuts, blood covering almost every inch of her body as well as mud over her feeble body. She was shaking and coughing louder and louder. I look around to see all of the other gods looking at her. But the boy from the human realm didn't seem to care.

Then she starts coughing up blood all over the floor. My son runs over to her shouting "Are you ok? Zeus, she needs help. Send her to the infirmary right away or she will die" Apollon shouts to me with concern in his eyes. All I could do was stand there staring at the girl and she looked up, but I could not see her face as her hair covers it, then suddenly falls, going limp as she drops her head into the blood surrounding her.
"Move away from her Apollon, I'll send Violet to the infirmary." I moved towards the unconscious girl, hitting my staff on to the ground to send the girl away to the infirmary. Once she was gone I heard someone shout.
"What the hell was that?" And I turn to look at the eight male Gods and the male in the room.

|||Time Skip|||

Violet woke up feeling refreshed as she yawns and rubs her eye with the back of her hand. She. Opens her eyes realising she wasn't in her room. She was in a white room that looked like a medical room. She looks down at herself to see she was in a white school uniform, similar to the boys uniform.
'Wait doesn't that mean someone had to undress me?!' Violet though as she checks over her body. All the scars and bruises had disappeared and only a slightly pain in her shoulder and knees where left. Violet stares in awe as she walks towards a full length mirror and gasps at her reflection. Her skin was flawless as her pristine uniform with a black waits coat, black skirt, black tights, white ankle boots and a white long sleeved shirt that was a size to big. It gave her a cute innocent look. But Violets eyepatch seemed to still be missing to she tried walking over to the cabinet draws but her legs gave way from under her. She fell to a pile on the floor and looks around the room in a rush. Standing next to the bed she was asleep on was a pair of crutches and on the chair was the torn photo. Violet felt her heart drop at this. She carefully picks it up and takes ahold of the crutches and looks through the draws and finds a white eyepatch. Violet peeks her head out the door and slowly and uncomfortably made her way down the big hallways. She tried being quiet but the ominous noise of the bottom of the crutches hitting the floor didn't help. Her arms still felt slightly unstable but she was shaking. She was scared and worried. So many questions where running through her head.
Where was she?
How did she get here?
How many other people where here?
And what did they want with her?
She slowly makes her way down the hallway but as she was going to take a turn down another she saw someone lurking in the shadows. Her came out from the shadows and as the light hit his face. He has dark green, shoulder length hair in waves. He appears to have pointed ears and a pale complexion. He wears the school uniform I saw on that lavender haired boy but without the belt, with long black boots. And around his neck is a pewter skull necklace with a garnet gem inset.
Why we're all the people here so beautiful?
Violet felt really self conscious and moved a piece of hair away from her eye.
"E-excuse me, do you know where I am?" She asks in a gentle voice, slowly approaching.
"Stop. Don't come any closer to me. I'll only bring you misery . . ." He spoke, covering his face with a hand. Violet felt scared at his sudden declaration and shuffled away.
"I-I am s-so sorry." She apologised and moved back the way she came. Violet moved down endless hallways contemplating about the green haired boy said.
I'll only bring you misery . . . ? Violet knew she couldn't get anymore than than, but she hopes not to jinx herself as she stops and takes a deep breath and then let's out a shaky one. She looks down at her photograph and she felt her heart drop into her stomach.
"Girls, what am I going to do. . .?" She asks in a quiet voice. She then lifts her head up. 'She should do what Katie would tell her' she thought. 'Suck it up and hold you head high.' Violet had a faint smile on her lips and she carries in walking with hope shining in her eyes as she felt confident on moving forwards. But then a white light started glowing around her sending wind blowing in her, scaring the life out from Violet. (Can you feel me sweat drop at this people?) Her arms shake as she lifts her head and looks around to see she's outside two double doors.
"Violet Blanks, enter!" A voice demands. Violet cautiously opens the door and looks around the room. It seemed to be a principle office except it was bear with openly a throne at the end of a red carpet. Violet tilts her head in confusion.
The principle of the school must have a very big ego.
Violet looks to the throne to see a blonde man looking at her. He has golden eyes and blond wavy lock of hair that falls on his forehead and wears a sort of red uniform with a cape. He seemed to be the principle of the school.
"Violet Blanks, I have summoned you here to teach the Gods about humanity. You will spend 1 year here and teach them, if you fail to do so you will be either stuck here or turned to stone, for eternity. In order to not have that punishment you need to lead the Gods to graduation. Is that clear?" He asks, bluntly saying everything and not a space for compliant.
"Yes." Violet answers blankly.
"Are you sure? You believe me, your not even going to ask why? You're not like the other human." He mumbles the end part.
"I am here for an important reason, I am guessing I have to teach these God about humanity because they need to learn in order to look after my world. I want to stay here because I have nothing else in my world, no one to miss me, no one to morn me. But I do not need to tell you why, seeming you had to pick me out from all the humans in my world so, you know about my past already." Violet explains as she continues to stare blankly at him. Violet still doubted this was real. Perhaps she was in a coma and this was all just her imaginations? She didn't know, but everything felt so real but so surreal at the same time.
"Well done you are a very cleaver young girl. But there is also another reason I picked you, it's because you are starting to loose faith and wanting to die, that isn't a normal feeling for a girl to have so, that is another reason why your here. Is that it?"
"Almost." Violet answers as she looks down at the photo in her hands.
"Almost?" He repeats with a frown.
"If you want me to stay here and teach the gods, you have to fix this." Violet held out the photograph to Zeus. She wanted it to be fixed as well as to make sure she wasn't being pranked by some sick person. The moments Zeus scanned the photo he grunts.
"Why?" He demands as her scowls.
"Because it is my most prized possession." Violet spoke as she looks up at the man as he scowls and growls under his breath. Without another word he hit his  staff on the floor and a small flash evolves around the photo. He hands it back to Violet, studying her.
"Thank you . . ." She whispers as she rubs her thumb over the photo, checking that it wouldn't break. She looks up to Zeus, happiness in her eyes yet questioning still lied.
"Thank you so much." She spoke softly to him. "Is there anything else I should be told?" Violet asks as she searches Zeus face. The way he looked at her showed recognition and something else. Was it wonder? Or just his normal smug face?

"Yes." He said and his expression showed power again and he raised his hand and points to a screen that was floating in the air with live footage of boys in the schools white uniform. "You have already met Hades Aidoneus he is the Greek God of the Underworld, Tsukito Totsuka he is the Japanese God of the Moon and Takeru Totsuka, he is the Japanese God of the Sea and Storms." Zeus spoke, each person he named their stream became larger. Violet watched in wonder, she'd never seen such high tech equipment before. "There are 5 more you have to teach, Apollon Agana Belea he is the Greek God of Light and the Sun, Balder Hringhorni he is the Norse God of Light, Loki Laevatein he is the Norse God of Fire, Dionysus Thyrsos he is the Greek God of Wine, Fertility and Merry Making and Thor Megingyoruzu he is the Norse God of Thunder. There will also be a human, he is a male and called Lewis Peterson, he will be here to show the more darker side of humanity and together you shall teach the gods about love."
Personality?.... Love? One of these was a very foreign subject to Violet, the other she new lots about. She'd met many people in her past and she was able to read them like an open book. One of the things she got from her mother.
"You may leave now."Zeus said as he turned slightly, Violet pardons herself and turn to walk away.
"And Violet, get better soon please, it would upset your father completely if he saw you in this state." And with that Zeus walks behind his throne and disappears. Violet stated at where he was once standing in bewilderment.
"My father . . .? But he's dead . . ." Violet spoke sadly as the memory of her family came back. Her real family. But her father? Her memory of him was slightly hazy.
Violet slowly left the principles office, contemplating about what Zeus just said. She looks down at the photo and give a small sigh.
"I wish my hands and arms would stop shaking, it makes it hard to use crouches." Violet smiles sadly at it.
"Who are you talking too?" Said a voice. Violet opens her eye and is greeted with the sight of a man who wears an open grey shirt with grey pants and snakeskin boots, with a blue school coat over it. He is wearing blue, green and gold Egyptian accessories. He also wears a monocle. But the thing that stuck out the most was that he was Egyptian. Violet herself was half Egyptian.
"Myself." Violet said quietly, looking away shyly.
"I am Thoth Caduceus, I am the Egyptian God of Knowledge and will also be your teacher whilst you are here. I will take you to your dorm now." He said to Violet and starts to walk away from her, fast. Violet tried to follow him in the crouches but she was very slow in them. But one of the most strange things was that she wasn't shaking.
"Could you slow down?" Violet asks. Strangely Thoth slows down and looks over his shoulder, expecting her to want more. "When do classes start?" He looks forward again and sighs.
"They started yesterday but seeming of your... condition, I would advise you to stay in your room for the rest of today. On the second day there was an opening ceremony and half of the class didn't turn up. You have to make them come to class."
"Ok." I say looking at his back. Violet felt the need to impress him, one of those teachers that was very strict and that you wanted to impress, because if they complimented you you knew they meant it full heartedly. They walks outside and across the strech of land was to separate building and another one opus it's the main.
"On the left is the boys dorm and to the right is the girls. Class starts tomorrow and you need to read the student hand book. But Melissa will help with that." Violet looks at him in confusion and he gives her a slight smile.
"That's the first expression I've seen you use, your personality seems to be appearing." There was a hint of smugness in his tone. "Zeus modelled this academy after human schools. All the necessary facility's are provided here. There's even food in the cafeteria."
"Is this place safe?" I ask as we walk along a hallway. He stops and turns his hole body to Violet. The aura he gave off looked as if he was holding himself back and Violet gulps, thinking he could hit her at any moment.
"This place only has You, that human boy, the other gods, harmless spirt pupils and me, so yes, you will be safe if you have any more questions, ask Melissa. But Zeus has the future of the Gods and humans in mind so every thing he does is necessary."He then looks to my fake eye and points. "The heavens eye, that will lead your way. Keep it safe, not that you can take it out. I will be in the library if you need me. Farewell." He said to me agitatedly. He then turns his back to me and walks away. I just stood in the hallway scared out of my mind.

Violet opens the unlocked door and is in shock of how big her room is. A wardrobe, a king size bed, a sofa and a balcony.
"Hello, you must be Violet." She hears a male voice say.
"Who's there? And where are you?" She ask in surprise.
"Down hear." Violet looks down to the floor to see a small Rag doll which is a yellow and white with stitches around its mouth, neck, and limbs. Its right eye is pink and smaller while its left eye is green and bigger. It has three marks in the middle of its forehead. Its head is also tied like a sack with a green ribbon with a pink button.
"I am Melissa, I am here to look after you." It spoke
"Look after me?" Violet questions
"Indeed! Zeus fashioned me out from clay, most myths describe humans as having be made by gods from clay and earth. In my case, there was a little mistake."
"Mistake?" Violet asks looking at it in worry.
"Oh, but I do like my body. A bit small, but sturdy and mobile. In this garden, I am your upperclassmen, I'll take care of you. When your troubled, come talk to me... When you want to cry, you can borrow my shoulder."
"Thank you Melissa. But why do you call this place a garden?"
"Because that's what it is, a garden full of friends!"
"Friends? Does that mean your my friend Melissa?"
"Yes of course, you can come to me with any problem, especially Loovvee~" Melissa said putting his hands over his heart. Violet looked at him and gave him a small rare smile. He looked at her shocked.
"What's wrong Melissa?" Violet asks, confused
"Zeus told me a lot about you, but he never mentioned once that when you smile, you lighten up the whole room" he says to her, making her blush.
"That's because I haven't smiled in a while."
"Why? You look so beautiful."
"Well because no one is ever nice to me, I'm a freak, and everyone hates me" Violet said to Melissa making herself feel sad at what she just said. She checks the time on her phone. '1:14 pm'
"Is it ok Melissa if I go around and check out the school by myself?" Violet ask
"Of course you can, I'll be here waiting for your return."
