New home, new neighbourhood and I must admit I was scared, my mother and father and the rest of the family had told me it was good we were moving, that in this neighbourhood weird was normal, I wouldn't be bullied for being strange, I was only ten when we moved to Moonlight Falls and my grandmother and Uncle had come with us, because we were all strange, we were all supernatural. I remember my life very well as I am a witch, one of the best in the world.

My father, Edward Black, had met my mother at a bar downtown in our old neighbourhood and my father knew instantly my mother was like him, not exactly like him of course, but of magic blood, he was a vampire and my mother, Anna-Maria was a witch. You've probably heard in stories that vampires and witches never ever cross but for my parents it was love at first sight. My mother and father had no problem in telling each other everything about them and within the night they were deeply and madly in love. It took them a year to get married and then two years later I turned up. My mother expected me to be of magic blood of course but she didn't expect what she saw, I was a witch of course but my two front canines were pointed, a bit more than normal, and my skin was very pale, I was witch and vampire, something very rare in magic a cross between two magical creatures into one.

Everyone in my family is magic blood, my mother, father, Uncle, and grandparents but we're not all the same no, of course not; my uncle Miko is a werewolf, my grandmother Susanna is a genie and my mother and father well you already know about.

The house we moved into was big, five bedrooms, a dining room, two bathrooms and a large garden, the neighbours were an old couple both were vampires, and my mother helped me unpack the few things I had decided to bring along, I was only ten and I was scared, I'd left behind the very few friends I had and now I had to start all over.

"Mum, what happens if the school children don't like me?" I questioned

My mother smiled and leant down close to me,

"They will love you, they're all like you sweetie. Well maybe not exactly like you but trust me, there will be vampire children, genies, fairies, ghosts, werewolves and of course witches and wizards just like you, you're going to fit in fine." My mother whispered, ruffling my blonde hair.

The weekend we spent unpacking, and on Sunday night I went to bed unusually late, I was scared yet there was this feeling in my stomach that made me somewhat excited for school. I tried to fall asleep but no luck, I didn't know what the problem was I was tired, shattered actually, but I couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly all I heard was a bloodthirsty howl, it scared me slightly but I got up and looked out the window, to see a full moon, and for the first time in days I smiled, I automatically knew what was or should I say who was howling, my Uncle Miko. I rushed downstairs and out into the cold frosty air, to see my Uncle in his werewolf form howling at the bright full moon.

"Uncle Miko," I asked.

He turned around to see me and the corner of his lips turned upright showing all of his pointy canines, he crawled over to me on all fours and grinned.

"What's up little witch," He asked gently.

"I… I can't sleep with you howling," I stuttered.

Despite the fact my Uncle was family I was still tense when I saw him in his werewolf form, what? With his pointy pale ears, and thick brown fur covering the majority of his body

"Ok," He said and then after a pause he added, "I'll go to the mountain park, I'll howl there,"

"Thank you," I whispered

And then he ran off, on all fours into the forest trees. I turned on my heel back into the house and tramped into my room and into bed. I knew my father would be out seeking for someone to drink from, my Uncle was out howling and my grandma was probably out helping someone with their life. It was just me and my mother in the house. Without my Uncles disruptive howling I soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Annealeise, Annealeise wake up. It's time for school." I heard my mother say

I groaned and got up, greeting my mother as I did so, my mother left me to get dressed in the uniform she had laid out on my chair. I changed into the blue uniform I was told to wear for school and hurried downstairs for breakfast, just as I was about to grab a piece of toast I heard a loud beep from outside, curious, my mother peered out the window and looked at me.

"It's the school bus," My mother said, "You'll just have to eat at school,"

My mother escorted me outside and onto the bus, where about twenty other children sat in pairs talking to each other, some with wings, and some with pointy fangs.

"Yes, my daughter Annealeise is new to your school could you please make sure she's taken care of."

The bus driver looked at me and smiled, he walked me over to an empty space and assured me everything would be fine today he then returned back to his space at the driver's seat, the bus doors swung shut and we began moving. I stared out the window at the new neighbourhood we lived in, plenty of houses and shops of every type. When I was just about to think I would be riding to school alone a girl sat next to me, she was obviously a fairy as sprouting from her back were dragon-fly like purple wings. She was very pretty, long ginger hair and blue eyes her pale lips were small yet puffy.

"Hello," She said.

"Hello," I replied.

"Are you new here at Moonlight Fall School?" She asked

I just replied by nodding.

"Well," She began, "I can definitely assure you, you won't be bullied here, secondly I'd love to show you round today you know show you were your classes will be, who's who, you know the basics? Oh by the way my names Lisa."

"Annealeise," I replied,

For the rest of the bus journey we spent talking about what we enjoyed, our family and what being a witch and fairy was like, I learnt Lisa was the youngest sibling of four and her whole family were fairies she learnt that I was an only child and my family was a mixture of every mystical creature.

When we arrived at school I was amazed how normal-looking it was, yellow bricked walls and lots of thick double glazed windows, Lisa and I walked into the school and we were both greeted by the head teacher, a normal looking woman with short brown hair and bright green eyes.

"Ah, Lisa, I suppose this is our new student, pleasure to meet you Annealeise, I'm Mrs Smith your head teacher, I'm pleased to tell you, Lisa is in all of your classes, maths, English, witchery, magic, hunting, music and oh of course, wishes and fortune telling." She said, directed to me. She then turned to Lisa, "I trust you'll make Annealeise feel very welcome Lisa."

Lisa grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, "Yes Miss, I will."

"Very well then," She said with a wave of her hand "Of you two go,"

She turned and left disappearing down the hallways.

"What's first lesson?" I asked Lisa.

Lisa pulled out a piece of paper from her blazer pocket and stared down at it,

"Witchery, followed by maths and hunting, magic and then finally music."
