Sorry about the short chapters, this is my first post and I was having a few problems. Please bare with me few a bit and I will have longer chapters for you. Thanks! And enjoy!

BEEP! BEEP! "Uhgggg" IT was only 5:30 on a Monday morning and knew it was going to be a bad day.

It was a foggy morning when I caught up with my two best friends Sarah and Izzy. "Ready to head to school?" asked Izzy. As we started to walk I could feel it in the pit of my stomach, something life-changing is going to happen, but when and where? This thought frightened me.

As we rounded the corner of the school, we were greeted by Jim, Bill, and Carlos. (The school bullies) "Hey there Rose why don't you take that scarf off your head?" sneered Jim while the other two burst into a fit of laughter.

"Why you…" I started to say but Sarah cut me off.

"If she's told you once she's told you a million times! IT'S A VEIL!" she shrieked in exasperation. Then she grabbed both Izzy and my arms and stomped though the court yard to our first hour.

I sat through yet another boring morning of math, history, and science. As I made my way to my locker before 4th period when all of a sudden Jim was behind me. He knocked my books onto the floor with a SLAM! Then kicked them all over the hall. Something in me snapped. I was outraged. With that I put my hand up toward his chest and a blue ring of light blasted out of my palm. Then like an explosion Jim was through the brick wall on the other end of the hall.

Everyone (including myself) stood there looking astonished by what just happened. Then without warning Vice Principal Rodgers appeared like a phantom in the shadows. People started slowly backing away from him. He was scary and no one dared do anything bad in his hall. Until now at least. Mr. Rodgers pointed strait at me and said in his booming voice "In my office! NOW! " I took one last look at the hole then cautiously I fallowed him into his office.

I knew this was going to be the end of me as soon as he closed the door, but all he said was "I'm going to talk to your parents about enrolling you in a special school."

I sat there like a statue staring at him. "B…But what about my friends and my classes." I managed to squeak. He didn't reply; instead he sent me to gather my things from my locker and classes. Then Mr. Rodgers sent me home. He called my parents and they agreed it would be best if I went. I got home and most of my things were already packed. Needless to say it wasn't very much, mostly books. I shoved the rest of the boxes into the back of my car, saying good-bye to the life I used to know because by the looks of it I may never see it again.

When I arrived at the airport I couldn't help but feel a little excitement. I showed the patrol guard my ticket and he pointed toward the private lanes. I gave him a questioning look then drove on. Right in front of me was a small jet black cargo plane. As I drove up to the loading dock people started giving me directions on how to drive into the plane and where to park. After the rumble of the engine stopped I reached behind me and secured my boxes and bags.

As I found my seat I realized that I was the only one on-board. "This is going to be a long ride" I thought to my-self. Then there was a sudden weight on my shoulder like someone was touching me. I looked up to find a strange girl looking down at me.

I must have looked really startled cause she asked "Are you ok" I nodded my head.

"Can I sit here" she asked. I nodded again. I sat there in silence as she put her bags in the over-head compartment.

When she sat down she took off her gloves and extended her left hand and said "My names Maka Albarn. What's your?"

"Rose…" I whispered sheepishly and looked at her hand.

"Rose what?" Maka asked.

I took a deep breath. "Red Rose of the Black Death" I spoke as evenly as possible.

"Oh...Ha-ha I think I'll just call you Rose." Maka chuckled.

It only took four hours to arrive in a town called Death City. I kept wondering where I had heard that name before. As I got into my car Maka asked if I was going to the academy and I nodded. She said she'll see me there sometime soon.

After that I drove to the house that my parents bought for me to live in. As I finished making the house feel like home I got a knock at my door. But when I opened it no one was there then I noticed a letter one my steps. It was a summons to the academy. With that I slithered into my normal assassin cloak and headed out.
