<strong>Anya<br/>Carriage with other new students</strong><br/><br/>The carriage shook as the horses pulled it up the pebbled path. There was a slight window cut into the side that Anya could see the large open gates of Madame Arachne's Boarding School of Girls looming before her. The three other students had tried to scoot from her, hunkering agianst the sides of the carriage. She was aggitated and it showed. Her eyes were a deep red, but thankfully for the others, the flames were not yet flickering. Her bodyheat had risen in temperature quite rapidly though, and the others had began to show beads of sweat on thier brows from being in close proximity.<br/><br/>As a harpy, she did not feel comfortable with people not her kind and as an affect, the pheonix side, gifted from her father, was showing. But it was her fault in a way that she was stuck in this damned carriage. If she had just behaved...<br/><br/>Her eyes narrowed once again at the nerve of the humans, (she spit at the species), who had forced her to attend the boarding school. "It's special, just like you," her foster mother had said. Special her white ass. It was for freaks. She needed to be with her own kind.<br/><br/>Her ears perked as one of the others spoke up. They had stopped outside the massive building and the horses began to winny outside as if waiting for them to leave. Or maybe just her. Horses didn't like her, and she didn't particularly care for the animals either.<br/><br/>Pushing the door open, she hopped from the confinements of the carriage and smoothed out her ruffled feathers. The ride had felt like it had taken ages, and the feeling of stretching out her legs was exquisite. Her and the others were quickly ushered up the front steps through two massive doors into a warmly lit foyer. Other students were brought in identical carriages and soon followed suit behind.<br/><br/>The smell of hot food hit her nose and her stomach grumbled. She hadn't eaten the whole ride their unable to take the food they had offered, and she had been unable to steal any. But soon, within the dining hall, with so many bodies and so many people conversing and not paying much attention, she would soon be able to fill her empty belly. So she waited patiently (ignore the impatient tapping of her taloned feet) to be led to the dining hall.
