Prologue: Shadows Chase The Light
Karis looked over the scholarship with a keen eye. It was too good to be true. An offer to study in Spencer Academy, in Ipswich?
Karis felt so happy to finally be leaving the orphanage, but at the same time nervous too. Ipswich... She'd heard tales of that place. Apparently, it wasn't the best place in the world, but its Academy had high education rates, so that would do for Karis.
However, Karis wasn't going to Spencer Academy just for studying. She was going there to escape the constant evil presence she felt.
Karis Clearwater's POV
Getting a scholarship into Spencer Academy? No way! Yet here it is, right in front of me. I'm so lucky!
This is the chance I've been waiting for. I can finally leave this orphanage once and for all... and that horrible presence that's always been near me. Like someone's watching me...
Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid. There are a lot of kids here! I can't get any privacy when I want to do my own thing. At least in Ipswich I'll have some peace and quiet. I've heard it's one of the best, safest places to go to. That makes me glad, because recently... I've been feeling insecure.
See I'm a little different from the others. I'm a telepathic! Okay, so no big deal, but everyone makes fun of me for it. Of course, being Indian doesn't help either. I'll show them all, though. Just wait until I graduate while they're all stuck as waiters and waitresses! Okay, that's a bit juvenile, but who really cares?
I gave a huge sigh as I started packing some of my things. Orphanage full of brats or not, this place still has a lot of hiding places I can go off and hide in. I loved tormenting the others by running off and climbing onto the roof! It's funny how no one else could do that.
What I miss most is my mom. She died when I was about 7... from a "Sudden Illness." Hah, like that would happen. It just seems too mysterious. She wasn't even ill! I have this strange feeling it's got something to do with that presence I've been sensing.
I'll soon be far away from here though, so it's all right if I don't know. I don't think I want to. I flopped down on the bed, ready for one more night of sleep before I catch a train tomorrow... and start my new life in Ipswich.
How hard can it be?
Little did I know, my choice would lead me deeper into the web of magic I'm already entangled within...
