I sat on my bed looking at the suit case sitting by my bedroom door. My mum and step-dad were sending me and my older brother, Erik, to boarding school. Erik, who was a year older then me at 17, had put up a fight. He yelled at Henry, our step-dad, and tried to plead with mum. But to no avail. So here we were, packing our bags to go to boarding school.

There was a knock at the door, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Come in" I called. Erik opened the door. He was tall, maybe 6'2, with a perfect face. He had bright golden eyes, just like mine, that glistened in the light. He had shaggy blonde hair and a muscular build. I looked just like him but I was 5'9 and had jet black hair. I loved him; he was the most understanding and caring brother ever. He knew how I felt when dad had been killed by the night world council. He helped me to keep my shifting under control when I got angry. He even taught me how to fight.

Erik smiled and sat beside me on the bed. He pulled me into a hug and I started to cry.

"Why did they have to kill him?" I mumbled, thinking about our real dad.

"I don't know, Nixie, I don't know" But we did know why they killed him. He had fallen in love with a human. That's why.

"I really want to kill Henry. How could he do this?" I carried on.

"No you don't want to kill him." He said soothing me. I pulled away and looked at him. I could see the sadness in his eyes. He got up and pulled me into another quick hug. Then he went and picked up my suit case.

"Come on. We have to go." I followed him out the door. Mum was downstairs talking to him. I looked at mum with a sad expression on my face. But when I looked at him I had to look away. The anger that boiled up inside me took a lot of control to keep down. I just turned and walked out the front door with Erik. He chucked our bags in to back of his car and got into the drivers seat. I opened the door and sat in the passenger's side. He smiled at me and started the engine. Boston Boarding School here we come.
