Novel & Cerita Umbrella Academy Fanfic

The roof leaked in interesting patterns, and the concrete floor stayed cold enough to keep the nightmares at bay most nights. My name is Nico Black. Twenty-one. No family. No future. Just scars that mapped out every place life had kicked me and a high school diploma that meant exactly nothing in a world still limping after the Swarm War. I found the letter two days ago, slipped under the warped metal door like it belonged there. Black envelope. Crimson wax seal shaped like thorns wrapped around a drop of blood. BludHeaven Academy. The vampire school. The one that had started letting humans in after the Integration Accords turned everything upside down.

I sniffled, rubbing the lonesome tear threatening to fall off her face. Instantly, Hilda held my hands in hers and warned with concern, “Kate, you can’t go to Umbra Academy. They’ll shred you alive over there.” “I know, Hilda. But there’s nothing I can do. My fate is sealed.” I said with defeat, lowering my head. Umbra Academy was a school for the elite of shifters and witches where they were taught how to rule and steer ahead in this power-hungry world. Although it seemed like a promising place, bullying and murder were often found to take place on its campus.

Winter arrived with unusual severity. Blizzards battered Nightshade territory for weeks, confining the academy students indoors. Luna and her classmates grew restless, their powerful energies confined to small spaces leading to accidents. "Maya accidentally read my dreams last night," Luna complained at breakfast. "I was dreaming about cookies, and she woke up hungry." "At least it wasn't embarrassing," Maya muttered, her cheeks red. "Last week I accidentally heard River's nightmare about drowning. I couldn't sleep for two days."

The icy flames from weapons didn't scare me as much as that blow. I yelled at Kade, "Stop flailing," and blocked the claws of the Umbra in front of me with the length of my chains. The jolt shook up my arms, almost dislocating my shoulders. "They feed on wasted strength!" Kade let out an angry growl as he violently tore his attacker to pieces. A total waste of time and energy. "I don't take orders from you." He snarled. After disintegrating into black smoke, the Umbra reassembled behind him and slashed across his back. He stumbled but remained on his feet. My heart raced. They were playing with him. Before they bind, they always toy. Memories filled my mind, as clear as day.
