After the daunting kiss, the presence left and I was alone. I opened my eyes and found nothing in-front of me, it was like I was expecting to see something on the ground before me but what ever it was no longer was in sight. The park was darker and colder than before, but I was not shaken almost like I had forgotten something important. I walked back to my dorm, feeling a sense of guilt I couldn't comprehend. When I reached the door to my apartment, tears began to roll down my cheeks as I pushed upwards the key hold to place my pin. As soon as my pin was down, the door unlocked and I pushed through dropping to the ground on the other side of the door. An overload of tears took me by force and I cried that night, my eyes dry and swollen. 

The next morning I woke up lay beside my bed, and first thing  which caught my eyes was a blue envelop.

'Wasn't this from dad?'

I reached out to the envelop, grabbed it and opened it. The letter read...

Dear Octavia

Hope you are finding it well at the Academy, the Burton family have decided to assist our family once again which I'm sure pleases you. You're Mother assumes that Linda is treating you well. However don't worry, we aren't completely abandoning you. We will be over at the Academy for the opening ball, so make sure to behave until then. I feel as though I'm forgetting something, aha I can officially confirm that you've failed the the mind test, which means I too am a failure. What I however don't understand is how you can be a VC Preceptor alone, it's either you have one or all, something isn't right. You are still my biggest prize though and I can't wait to see you soon. 

Take care, we have much to speak with you later.

- Father

Hearing from my dad made me so happy, but hearing that I had failed the test was disappointing to me. I erased my thoughts and picked myself up from the floor.

'Mrs Burton', I shouted and all the memories came back vividly.
