I've pretty much been average my entire life.
The grade 'C' is basically my life label. My looks are mediocre, medium length brown hair, normal nose, plain brown eyes, the basic mouth and the standard skin colour- Nothing special. I'm the regular weight for a 16 year old too, not to mention the average height of 5'3. Let's just say, I don't stand out in a crowd. I've never excelled at anything, or failed at anything either, I'm okay at a lot of things, but it's never enough. Nothing's ever enough.
I'm a child of 3, and of course with my luck I'm the middle child. My eldest sister, Grace is about the prettiest person in my family which is saying something since everyone in my family is absolutely gorgeous – besides me of course. And my youngest sister Andrea, well let's just say she's the smartest person I've ever met. And then there's me, my name is Alina Tainn. Yeah, I guess I'm pretty lucky that I didn't get a name like Jessica Smith or Sarah Cook, but that's as far as my luck takes me – names. I live in Wood Chester, number 4 Marilyn Street, my life is seriously as boring as it gets. Until today.
'Al honey! There's some mail here for you, from…Latrome Academy, you heard of this place?' my mother yells from where I presume is the kitchen. My mums a very successful pastry chef, I've never seen her out of a kitchen –ever. 'Coming!' I yell back, Latrome Academy? Never heard of it. I run down the stairs with a purpose, like this letter is going to change my life forever. Little did I know at the time, that that's exactly what it did.
I find Mum gripping a silver envelope in between her teeth as she rolls out some pastry dough with her busy hands. Mum thrusts her head back as she spots me coming down the stairs and whips the letter out from her teeth like a Frisbee. I make a feeble attempt to try and catch it but of course since I'm not all that good at sports it flies right past me. I hear my mum snort as I race to pick it up.
I delicately pluck it up from the ground and hold it out in front of me as though it's going to detonate any second. I race up to my room and slam my door shut behind me. I glance at it and see my name in purple ink and underneath saying Latrome Academy, with a glowing crescent moon imprinted at the bottom. I take a deep breath and open it gingerly, still nervous it might be a bomb. A silver necklace falls out on to my hand as well as a white letter. I unfold it carefully to see that I have apparently been accepted to the Latrome Academy home to enchanted children and Demon spawn alike.
To Miss Tainn,
You have been ceremoniously accepted to The Latrome Academy of EC and DS. We wish you to take note that if you oblige to attend our school, you have to be willing to take the consequences and pay the ultimate price.
If this is so, then we ask of you to put on the necklace, which will activate your powers and will allow us to transport you-
Wait powers! This has got to be some kind of joke! Yeah, this definitely sounds like something Andrea would do, although….
-to the school, where you will arrive in the headmistresses office, where she will explain to you more thoroughly about your powers and what you truly are. If you happen to decide not to attend, were afraid your powers will fade after 4 days of receiving this letter. This is a rare opportunity Miss Tainn not many would refuse this chance of a new life, a new start, a new future.
We hope you decide soon as you can as we are so eager to meet with you.
Sincerely,
Lady Roelle of EC house
And
Head Demon, Triel of DS house.
I stared at the letter trying to process my thoughts, glancing at the necklace still gripped in my hand and the letter I held in my other, I came to a conclusion. This is obviously all a joke so, I'd put on the necklace in front of my little sister, making her believe that I thought her stupid little letter was true and then pretend I had powers for her own amusement- if I'm the best at anything its being a good sister.
With the plan in mind, I walk out of my room clutching both the letter and necklace in my hands with an extremely hopeful expression on my face as though all my dreams had come true in the last minute- I had to be convincing.
I find Andrea flicking through the channels on our TV and then finally settling for some nature documentary.
I walk right in front of her, ' Hey Andy, can you turn the TV off I wanna tell you something' , she looks at me with a puzzled expression but then quickly turns of the TV and shuffles over on the couch to make some room for me to sit. 'Yeah, what's up?' she asks, whilst raising her eyebrows. 'Um… I don't really know where to begin but, here' I hand her the necklace and letter; she takes them and reads the letter. As her eyes skim across the page her face slowly melts into a state of disbelief and humour. She'd always been a good actress. 'Okay, so put it on, the necklace I mean' she loads, her voice dripping with amusement. I snatch the necklace out of her hand, as though I'm angry that she doesn't believe it really works- which it doesn't, and clip it around my neck.
I stare down at the charm on the end of the chain and realize it is a beautiful crescent moon shape made out of what I can only guess as mirror, framed with an intricate spiral design. I look at my reflection in the charm and see a gorgeous girl with dark flowing hair, piercing brown eyes, a slender oval face the colour of ivory and delicate pink lips, radiating a luminous pearly glow. I gasp, and then suddenly, a bright mist engulfs the room making my eyes feel heavy as though I haven't slept in days.
Slowly my thoughts drift and the last thing I remember seeing from my mortal life was my sister Andrea, her eyes wide with fear and a single tear rolling down her cheek and then darkness. Complete and utter darkness.
So what did you think! Hope you liked it the maxium time I'll need to write the next chapter will probably be ready by tomorrow or today and then the third chapter will proabably raedy in 5 days time, because i'm going on school camp for 3 days and then have school the next day.
But then it's the holidays! so you can expect lots of chapters then!
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
