Holy Grail
I sip my hot coco while staring out into the garden. It's been a year since I left my host family. I called them once. I'm only wearing a sports bra and pajama pants. I now live in Warlock bane. The name of the kingdom my mom runs. She is the queen and I'm the princess. My father is an evil warlock who wants me back. He has my brother, Luke. Luke has demon blood in him.
I feel warm arms snake around my waist. I turn my head to see Elanora. "Jackie your freezing." Elanora kisses the top of my head. "I'm sorry I didn't notice." I feel her laugh. She kisses my cheek. "Your cheeks are pink and your nose is red." I snap my fingers and the coco disappears. I turn my head and lean up. Our lips meet in the most sweet and most sensitive kiss.

That was six years ago. Now I live in the California Institute. I'm now fourteen. I have brown hair. Which turns blond at the bottom. My eyes are brown, but they turn different colors depending on my mood. Icy blue is when I'm sad. Bloody red is when I'm mad. Gold is when I'm really exited. Green is when I'm sick. And finally brown is when I'm calm or normal.
I'm right now sleeping at my best friend, Emma's house. I'm hear because some new people are coming to the institute. I'm in a perfect dream. Or shall I say was. That was until Emma started hitting me with a pillow… Jerk.
"I'm up!" I yell.
She stops and walks over to her iPod doc.
"Okay. Let's get ready. Your brother is coming to pick us up in 30 minutes."
"shit."
I hear the next song. Emma and I look at each other. Then we break out singing.
Jackie-
I USED TO BITE MY TONGUE AND HOLD MY BREATH
Emma-
scared to rock the boat and make a mess
so i sat quietly, agreed politely
i guess that forgot i had a choice
We both started to get dressed. Since it's my birthday.
Jackie-
I LET YOU PUSH ME PASSED THE BREAKING POINT
I STOOD FOR NOTHING,
SO I FELL FOR EVERYTHING
Emma-
you held me down,
but i got up
already brushing off the dust
you hear my voice,
you hear that sound?
Jackie-
LIKE THUNDER GONNA SHAKE THE GROUND
YOU HELD ME DOWN BUT I GOT UP
GET READY CAUSE I'VE HAD ENOUGH I SEE IT ALL,
I SEE IT NOW
BoUtH-
I gOt ThE eYe Of ThE tIgEr,
ThE fIrE,
dAnCiNg ThRoUgH tHe FiRe
CaUsE i Am ThE cHaMpIoN aNd YoUr GoNnA hEaR mE rOaR!
The song soon ends and we are finished. I am wearing a bloody red dress with a white ribbon and a big bow in the back. My hair is done up in curls on top of my head. Emma is just wearing black demi jeans and a black low cut shirt. Emma is a shadow hunter.
Soon we hear a car horn. Welcome To Hell.
