Chapter 1
Akima
Hi. I'm Akima Dru, but most people call me Aki. I currently live in Paris in an orphanage where Mrs. Sora Kinomori watches me like a hawk. You see, recently I started taking a special course in school called Divination, in which I have a huge exam I really need to study for. Divination is the study of telling fortunes and unfogging the future. You know, tealeaves, crystal balls, palm readings, the whole deal. My parents died when I was two and I've lived at this orphanage ever since then. If you're wondering how they died, they committed suicide after they saw things floating around in my room by themselves. You see, I was only two and that made me the youngest witch that could control her magic. Of course, there are others like me. At the moment, there are only 3 of us. Caitlyn, Kathi, and me. Kathi doesn't come into the story until later though. Since I've known Caitlyn since I was 2, let me explain how her life has been. Caitlyn is 15 like myself and is a very talented artist. Lately, she is mostly locked in her room drawing. Caitlyn has parents, but her dad walked out on her mom when she was 5, so Cait hasn't spoken to her father since then. Her mom went to Egypt on some archaeological dig two years ago. Caitlyn heard from her just recently. Her grandmother, who lives in the local nursing home and is kind of crazy, thinks her dad has come back for Cait and is very over-protective. She often leaves up to 20 messages on Caitlyn's answering machine. (Told you she was crazy, Cait doesn't have an answering machine, but her grandmother swears she left messages on it.) Caitlyn's grandfather died last year and that's when her grandmother had a break down and went crazy. We all visit her every day after school. She's almost 90 years old and doesn't remember Kathi or me most of the time, but she enjoys the company anyway. Now for Kathi. She's 14, youngest in our little group. She lives with her parents and basically lives a normal life. She has a little brother named Ty and an older brother named Ethan. Ty's 7 and Ethan's 16. (Note: Caitlyn is in love with Ethan) The two major defects in Kathi's life are that she's anemic and diabetic. She nearly died 3 years ago when her blood sugar dropped quite suddenly. We all watch out for her now, so it hasn't happened again yet. Except for that, she basically lives a great life (according to her). She has blonde hair with green tips that she normally wears up in a ponytail and pink eyes. Two more things. Personally, I have goldish-brown hair with red bangs and green eyes while Caitlyn's hair is blonde and she has blue eyes. Well, I really need to go study for my Divination exam, so I'll leave it to Caitlyn to tell the next part of our story.
**Editors Note: Kathi is based off a friend of mine while Caitlyn is based off of a character Alex (another friend) drew for this story. I hope you enjoy this story, but this is all so far!)
