CHAPTER 1
Its been six months since I came to the Mystical School for Creatures. I learned about my background and how I am a hybrid. Since being here I've made friends and enemies, Some of the people here try to understand me and what I am others fear me and what I could become. I was sent to the school to be safe and to train to defend myself and everyone I love.
"Hey Anika!" my friend Bianca said while walking up to me as I was standing at my locker listening as people walked past me whispering. What they don't know is that I can actually hear them I have very sensitive hearing. I turned to see Bianca standing in front of me with her long curly pink hair flowing down her back, she had on her MSC jacket and an all black jumper with combat boots on. Bianca is my bestfriend she was the one to show us around the school when my sister and I first arrived.
"Hey Bianca, where is Annette?" I asked looking for my sister. She told me that she was heading out early to meet up with Bianca, but from the looks of the things that was a lie. Since we embraced both sides of the spectrum Annette has been acting very different. We used to be bestfriends but now we barely talk. Lately she has been hanging with the very stuck up snobby ass people who refused to accept us in the beginning of it all.
"I don't know I thought she was going to be with you." Bianca said just as confused as I was. We were still standing at my locker when the 'stuck up bunch' walked by and what do ya know there is my sister. The leader of the group her name is Angelica but everyone calls her Angie, I call her the spawn of Satan. She is the main one in the school who treated my sister and I like we didn't belong. As they were passing by Angie looked at my with a sly grin and rolled her ugly green eyes at me. Angie isn't really ugly but her attitude is.
I stood there as they all passed us by as she was starting to pass, I grabbed Annette's wrist to stop her. "Why lie?" I asked her because I couldn't understand why she would lie to me, ME of all people we have never lied to each other before.
"I'll explain everything later, I gotta go." she said snatching away from me. I've always hated that group for what they did to the relationship my sister and I had. The bell rang and it was time for our first class of the day. Sitting in my first class for the day the headmistress came through the intercom.
"Good morning beautiful people, I have one very important announcement, I know we have been teaching you guys how to use your powers and protect yourself with said powers, due to the imminent threat of danger, we are implementing a class with hand combat. You will be training in combat against one another." She said in a proud tone.
I sat there listening to the head mistress on the intercom as she explained what was happening. What does she mean imminent threat of danger, are we going to war? Who's in danger? My heart was literally beating out of my chest. Could this be because of my sister and I? There were so many things running through my mind that I couldn't process it all.
After the headmistress finished what she had to say we were informed that after our first class we are to meet on the field. I was dreading going out there because what do I know about hand combat? Six months ago I wasn't even aware that I had powers. Whatever our parents were giving us to supress that side of us worked very good.
Once the class was over we all headed towards the field where the headmistress was standing in the middle. "Welcome children." she started off so warm and inviting. "Here is where you will be trained on hand combat, meaning you will fight with your hands and your hands only." she said with a grin as everyone was whispering amongst each other.
"Uhh excuse me headmistress." said a voice from the back of the crowd. "What's going on that you are changing the way we train?" said the voice. Everyone agreed with the question even myself we always learned to use our magic not our hands so what's changed. She stood there looking into the crowd of children that was looking back to her for an answer.
"We are changing the way you guys train to ensure that you guys know all forms of battle, there are enemies out there who doesn't have powers but are very exceptional in hand combat. We are making sure that you guys are prepared for any enemy you may encounter is all." The headmistress said trying to sound reassuring. Everyone stood there in silence, I'm guessing trying to figure out if they could trust what she was saying because I was having a hard time believing that as well.
"But you said we were training in hand combat due to the imminent threat of danger, what was that about?" a very deep sexy voice said from behind me. Before I could look back to who just spoke the headmistress started to answer his question.
"You are right, I did say that." She said looking at all of us. "There have been reports of our fellow creatures have been getting attacked from hunters." she said in a sad tone. Everyone gasped at what she was saying. How could this be true? Who is hunting us? Do they know where we are? Everything seemed like a huge pill to swallow as I've been through a similar situation six months ago when our lives were in grave danger.
As she continued to explain the situation and its severity I couldn't help but think about the voice that had asked the question. I turned to see him.. Standing in the far back of the group there he was with a caramel complexion, warm inviting brown eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a very neat set of locs on top of his head. I couldn't help but fall in love at first sight I couldn't focus on anything else but him.
