All Chapters of Iris at the vampire academy: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter: UnityWhen we finished the strength class, I felt a slight fatigue in my body, but inside I was still filled with excitement after the confrontation we had gone through. The coach’s voice faded behind us as the students began leaving the field one by one.I walked beside Maya and Julia, while Jimmy and Misa followed us from behind, each of us talking excitedly about the events of the fight as if we were still in it.The moon was prominent in the sky, and the stars reflected their light on the academy buildings, while the lights illuminated the entire place, giving it a calm warmth after a noisy battle. We all headed to the restaurant, as we always do after classes.We entered the restaurant, and it was crowded with students talking and laughing, while the smell of food spread everywhere. We sat at the table and each of us began placing their food. I had barely sat down when Jimmy started speaking with clear excitement.“Iris, you’re truly amazing… I loved your courage!”I smi

Chapter: The New Family.As soon as the servant reached one of the rooms in that long, dark corridor, he suddenly stopped. The hallway stretched as if it had no end, and the walls on both sides were covered with faded old paint, over which the dim shadows of the lamps hung, barely lighting the way.The silence was heavy between us until the servant turned toward me with a slight bow and said in his calm voice:“My lady… we have arrived at your room.”I looked at the door in front of me. It was a massive wooden door, adorned with old carvings that suggested the antiquity of the place. I moved forward slowly and placed my hand on the handle, while inside me was a mixture of curiosity and tension. I gently pushed the door, then reached my hand toward the lamp and turned it on.In that moment…My eyes widened in shock.The appearance of the room from the inside was completely different from the rest of the house. It was not dark or abandoned; rather, it was remarkably neat and elegant. Th

Chapter: After I had been wandering through the house, a door in the right wing caught my attention. It wasn’t like the other doors; it was wider, heavier, covered with strange, intertwined carvings as if they told an ancient story no one could understand.I stood in front of it for a few moments, feeling that something was drawing me to it for no clear reason. I slowly extended my hand and touched those carvings; they were cold, unexpectedly so, as if they had not been affected by the warmth of the place.Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps from inside.I froze in place.The footsteps were light but clear, getting closer little by little, as if their owner was walking with deliberate slowness. I held my breath and moved a little closer to the door, trying to see through the narrow gap, but the darkness inside was dense, swallowing everything.I couldn’t make out any movement, not even a shadow.My heartbeat quickened, and my mind began to weave uncomfortable possibilities.Was

Chapter: After the weekend ended. I gathered my belongings slowly, as if I were deliberately delaying the moment of departure. I placed the last item in the bag, then closed it tightly, and took one final look around. The room seemed unusually quiet, as if it were hiding everything that had happened within it between its silent walls. I stepped outside, where the servant was waiting for me, standing calmly as usual. Before getting into the car, I turned back toward the house. I contemplated its tall windows, its wide garden, and every corner of it, as if I were trying to preserve it in my memory. I had not expected my view of it to change so quickly from a strange place to one that carried a sense of familiarity. I got into the car, and we set off down the road. Throughout the journey, I was lost in my thoughts. I remembered how I had spent the past days between exploration, tension, and unexpected situations. I remembered Matthew and his endless problems, and I smiled despite

Chapter: As soon as I entered the academy with Maya, I felt that the place was no longer as I had left it. The floors were shinier, the walls were free of any mess or scratches, and even the notice boards looked unusually well organized.Everything was clean, elegant, and overly arranged, as if the academy had dressed in its finest in preparation for an important guest.There wasn’t a single corner where the name "Oliver" wasn’t mentioned, whether in the students’ conversations, their excited looks, or even in the whispers passing between groups. It was clear that everyone was eagerly waiting for this person.Maya suddenly said, as if she had remembered something important:"I forgot to tell you, Prince Oliver is coming today."I looked at her, then sighed quietly, as if trying to keep it normal despite all the attention around us:"I know, Jack told me."And the moment I uttered his name, everything he had said yesterday came back to my mind his secret, his fear, and that look I cou
