*Chapter 1*
I never knew life could be so complicated. I thought it was simple. I never knew that all the stories I read about mythical creatures were true. Well most of them. My life completely changed when my mom and I moved.
It was half way through my junior year. I was walking home from school with my best friend on a Thursday. Her name is Alyssia; she had red hair, and the deepest green eyes anyone could have. She is what people call now a witch. She has never practiced the craft, so I didn't know until she had told me. She was a little freaked out about it. Apparently when a witch turns 17 their powers come in full effect, and the ones that haven't had training, they don't make it as long as the others.
"So Emily. I have to go to this training with my mom, but maybe after we can hang out." She said as she walked beside me.
"Maybe. I'll have to talk to my mom about it. She's been having a hard time lately. I have a feeling she might lose her job." I said to her. "And I don't know what that will mean for us. She hasn't really said anything about it, but I can just tell something is wrong." I sighed. I could tell that there was something going to happen and I didn't know if I was good or bad.
"Well I guess we will have to see. Just text me and let me know ok?" She said as she split away from me.
"Alright. Bye." I said continuing to walk straight. It was nerve wrecking not knowing what was going to happen. It wasn't long before I reached home. I walked through the door, and took my shoes off. I walked through the door to the living room, and into the kitchen. I set my bag down in a chair, and went to the fridge. I pulled out a can of coca cola, and a small piece of chocolate cake. I set them down on the table, and took out my iPod. I plugged it into my docking station and hit random. I didn't care what I listened to. I pulled my math book out of my bag, and started on my homework. I know I wasn't the best at school, but I did try. It wasn't long until my mom was home. I heard her pull into the driveway, and walk through the door.
"Hi mom." I yelled so she could hear me. She walked through the door, and I could tell something was wrong.
"Hi Honey. How was your day?" She asked me.
"It was alright." I said as I shrugged. "How about you?" I asked in return.
"It was horrible." She said while getting some ibuprofen. "We need to talk." I looked at her. 'Here it comes' I thought, "Honey….. I've been relocated. We need to move." She said a little sad.
