Chapter One
The Girl With Red Hair
Have you ever felt that your whole entire life is changing in but a single moment? Like you know you will never be the same, for better or worse? The truth is, the same thing happened to me. I was thrown head first into a sea of sorcerers, monsters, and other things that seem impossible. Nothing is. Who would have thought that I, a normal seventh grader would become best friends with a half witch, a werewolf, and a mermaid. Not me for sure. Looking back on my life now, I would have done it over again.
After all, I am a summoner.

Nothing was out of order that day. Nothing at all. It was a normal drizzly afternoon in Cyan, West Virginia. The gray misty clouds hung low, almost a fog, but not quite. The cold winter winds were starting to chase away the lingering October warmth. As usual, classes were miserable and dull enough for you to pluck out your hair one by one.
"That concludes today's lesson, please put your textbooks away and you my chat quietly for the next two minutes." Mr. Greer said sharply, "Keep your voices down!"
I laid my head down, letting my long brown hair spill onto the desk. I tried to recall what we had learned today. Something about World War II Allies. England, America, and... France? They surrendered too quick to really be considered. I moaned. Even if I don't remember anything, I don't care. Why should I have to know stuff that happened decades ago?
"Hope!" Someone sang. "Stop moping around! It's Tuesday!"
"What's good about Tuesday, Jackie?" I grumbled.
Jackie is my best, and only, friend. She really helped me when my dad took off and left me and my mom all alone. She's always making me get up and trying to get me to get out there, have a great time. I think I would have died by now with out her.
"Nothing really." She replied. "But today is a special Tuesday! It's two week until your birthday!"
"Yay."
"Aw," Jackie pulled a chair over to my desk and placed her hands on my desk. "It's exciting! You'll be thirteen! It'll be great!"
"Yeah, but-"
I was interrupted by an announcement over the intercom. "Please dismiss all students to the auditorium for a school wide assembly."
"Huh?" Jackie murmured.
"Assembly?" I asked.
"Hurry up!" Mr. Greer growled.

"Hello my name is Trina Goodheart and this are two of my students, Kate Riley and Tessa Rockwell." A tall crisp in a black dress began, "We are here to chat about a special school that some of you may attend a school for summoners, or other magical beings. You are all going to be tested on your magical levels and admitted to the school or not."
Murmurs filled the auditorium. Magic. Summoner. School. Levels. Test. Of course me knew about magic and werewolves and witches. They teach it in history, but to really be a summoner, someone with the ability to use magic, was rare. Maybe one in a hundred thousand people have an affinity to magic. No one by summoners were allowed to use magic. Witches and sorcerers had to be certified to use magic. Werewolves and vampires couldn't use any magic like that anyway. I'd seen a werewolf transform. It's terrifying. An I had even met a real summoner before. It was incredible.
"Our school is known as AMP or The Academy for Magical Persons. Most children are picked out for having magical abilities and sent to our school when they are younger, but a little under two thirds our kids wait until they reach the age of 13 or 14 before they develop powers." Trina Goodheart smiled very wide. "The test is taking place today, so please cooperate and you'll be done in moments. We will call you ten at a time."
She began reading names off of a paper. Jackie turned to me. "How exciting! Imagine me or you, a summoner!"
I nodded. "I take you for more of a old witch hag or something, though."
She shoved me "Well, you seem a bit like a evil sorcerer. You would steal children's dreams and replace them with nightmares."
I smirked. Sorcerers we're said to gain magical power through stealing dreams. That's why people use dream catchers, to ward off sorcerers. It was a silly myth anyway. "Whatever."
"Jacqueline Cannit, Hope Jones, Paul Halts..." Ms. Goodheart read off.
Jackie and I jumped up and followed the boy, Paul, in front of us out of the auditorium. Jackie was pulled into one classroom, and I another. She shot me a smile over her shoulder as she left. I walked into my assigned room and was instantly face to face with a girl with fire-red hair and piercing blues eyes.
"Hello!" She smiled warmly, "I'm Kate Riley. Ready for the test?"
I blinked. "How do we do it? I mean, what-"
"Relax, relax, and sit here," Kate pulled me at a desk and snapped her red hair in a ponytail. She looked into eyes and said, "I can sense magic in people, and read their thoughts. I can even use people's minds to make them do something."
I flinched away from her gaze. She laughed, "I would never do that to someone, no worries." She furrowed her brow. "I can't sense anything from you."
I sighed with relief, "So, no magic in me?"
She looked confused. "No, I can't even sense you at all... Something's blocking me."
"What does that mean...?"
She looked at me. "You have a very strong affinity to magic, you blocked me on your own." Kate smiled and handed me a packet, "This is has all the info you need. I'll see you at AMP."
No. How could this be?
I am a summoner?
Thank you for reading, drop me a message or two below and I'll get back to you right away! And I know this has nothing to do with Maximum Ride I got the idea from that and then it drifted way off. But yes, this is still a FanFic so no haters.
