1 Chapter 1- Weird Dream

"Come to me, my beautiful Yuna." I looked at the figure who was seductively calling me. My eyes widened at the figure in front of me.

The first thing I noticed was the big black wings protruding behind her back flapping proudly. Her gorgeous hair was adorned with curved, strong black horns. Her once mysterious eyes were glinting maliciously. She gave me her most infatuating smile with her reddened sensual lips. She looked pleased with my reaction.

I flinched when I was single-handedly grabbed by a slick black tail in my waist that I just noticed, wrapping tightly and bringing me closer to her. She licked her lips and I could see her pointed fangs that looked dangerous but at the same time enticing.

"My Empress, aren't you a curious thing? You don't look afraid of me. Do you want to know who I am? " She asked while looking at me curiously. My eyes quivered and my heart was beating frantically in my chest but I tried to disregard my feelings. I know her name. Her face is so familiar but in a different way. I was afraid but I had to ask her. I had to know.

"Who are you? What are you? Why are you doing this to me?" my voice shakes as I ask those questions. She smiled mischievously as her tail lifted me effortlessly, bringing me closer to her.

"You know me by my name. I am your Queen and you are my Empress. I've waited for so long so have you. I will never let you go." she answered vaguely, caressing my cheeks with her long soft hand. Her face moved closer and before I realized it, she kissed me.

I woke up with a jolt, that was a weird dream. I looked around at the familiar surroundings of my room and sighed in contentment at the familiarity that surrounded me. Unlike in my dream, I was in a different world, different surroundings, in a different life, and at a different time.

I pulled the rope beside my canopy bed and the maid automatically came into view.

"Good morning, my Majesty!" The maid vowed as she greeted me. She already prepared a wet towel and a glass of lukewarm water. I took the glass first and drank it swiftly as I realized that my throat was unusually dry. I took the wet towel and wiped my face on it. The maid was just waiting silently until I was done.

"Are you alright, my Majesty?" the maid whose name is Anna asked. "You looked pale. Should I call the Imperial Doctor?" Of course, my health is important and it is one of their duty to take care of me as I take care of the Empire while the Emperor is away.

"No, I'm just fine. I just had a weird dream." I stand up and walk my way to the shower room. The maids are already waiting as they prepare everything and bathe me with their own hands. I relaxed my stiff shoulders as they massaged it applying scented bath soap and oil that leaves my body fragrant all day. They massaged my scalp and made me relax as I closed my eyes I recall the contents of my dream.

"For today, you will be arranged into 5 people per group. You will recreate a scene where you all be the actresses of the play you will make. You will join the other students outside the hall and some kids from different schools. All of you have to scatter and see to it that the group will not just be composed of this class alone. In other words, your group should be composed of the other class and the kids from a different school. The key to this activity is Group cooperation. Therefore, the grades will be given to you on how each one of you co-operates with each other at the same time influence one another to have a good result. Your performance too will decide your future as the President of this school will be the judge of your performance. The best performer will be given a lot of opportunities as a prize. Do you understand?" The lady in front of us told us. She was wearing like it seemed a uniform in a skirt and white blouse with a coat. She looked strict with her eyeglasses.

I looked around me. There are at least 30 girls that look the same age as me and all of us wear the same style of white and blue clothing patterned as uniform like I wore in the Imperial Academy but this one is simpler and more comfortable.

"Yes Ma'am!" Everybody answered in unison. Everybody showed discipline as if it was already rehearsed performance. All tidy, we waited for further instruction.

"You may go now." And all of us stood up and bowed our heads. We walked in silence on the way to the Hall.

Though everybody seemed formal, you can feel the giddiness in the atmosphere. The girls seemed excited. In the Hall, there are at least a hundred students in three different uniforms including us. We formed a separate line in silence. Everybody is like a soldier waiting for an order which seemed to be correct as the guy in a suit walked up on the stage and talked before saying you may begin. All of us were scattered suddenly and a from the silent room with a buzzing noise voice was now in the Hall.

I stood frozen, unable to comprehend what to do. It seemed my classmates already found a group of their own but there were groups composed of 3 of my classmates and 2 people in different uniforms. I looked around trying to find a group I could join in. It seemed everybody found a place of their own, so I walked further from behind to look for more.

"Excuse me, can you join our group?" A kid younger than me approached me cautiously. I looked at her fidgeting appearance. Her yellow uniform is crumpled and her hair is a bit untidy. Maybe she was too shy to approach me because of the difference in appearance. I smiled at her.

"Sure," I said. "Where are the others, then?"

Her face brightened at my reply and guided me to follow her.

We reached the corner of the hall where my new group mates were waiting. There are already 5 people, including me, so our group is complete. I looked at each other's faces. Just like the yellow in-a-uniform girl, the other 2 girls are both younger and a little shabby. They somehow emit a strange smell if you are near them. The other was the opposite that one caught my breath away. She emits a mysterious aura that complements her black uniform. Her long hair with bangs was tied at the back. She looked taller than me. She looked beautiful and seemed to smell nice when I got a chance to shake her soft hand. She looked the same age as me. This feeling is unfamiliar somehow. I tried to disregard it, but her presence made me giddy.

She looked at me with her expressionless eyes, which I found more mysterious. Somehow, I felt weird as I heard my heart beat faster and seemed wilder looking at those deep-seated eyes. I tried to smile but instead, I only managed to give her my awkward smile.
