Walker - April 19, 1989 - May 5th 2006 - May she finally be able to peacefully sleep. Prologue A long old steam locomotive slowly pulled into the station during the dead of the night, with its string of old wooden passenger cars in tow. The few travellers that dared coming out so late at night, haunting the platforms, did not seem to notice as a small cloaked passenger that disembarked from the back car as they tried to find the best seats. The figure casually moved through the halls of the train station, the moon shining through large domes of glass that canopied overhead, held together with a spider's web of iron and glass. She swiftly moved up the marble staircase and through the spiralling doors to the outside world. The individual lifted its head to look up at its new surroundings. Light from an overhead streetlight, made of case iron and hanging upon long black chains from posts, cast down on the being revealing the small round face of a young girl, the right side of her face covered in twisting black flames of a tattoo that extended down from her shadowed eyes and along the side of her neck. She softly closed her eyes and breathed in the cool night air, "I'm finally back." She muttered to herself as a small smile played across her face, revealing a set of fangs that glistened in the light. Abruptly she spun around to face the lights of Whispering Hills Academy off in the distance and quickly the smile was replaced by a frown as she recalled the true reason she was there. Rapidly, the girl moved through the night with her destination in mind, winding her way through the small down and up the large hill in which the school sat, looming overhead.
