It was nightime. I love nightime, so dark and mysterious.
I loved the day to especially early morning when the sun rises painting the skies in reds and yellows.... wierd how my tastes change so much huh?
That was me sided personality... but hey what am i supposed to do? Its whoI am its who my parents were. When people hear who my parents are they usually have a mixture of a cringe and a smile. Why? Because, my prents are Malistare and Sylvia Drake thats why... she was day he was night and I am some wierd mixture of the two ... None of my other siblings were like this either im one of six five of us were born at once aka im a quintuplet... yah i no a quint and out of all of those siblings only one other had any similarity to me and that is my one brother he's always going off one end of the sale or the other like me no in between. We suffer from severe mood swings and somethings has been happening to both of us... i cant explan it but I feel some sort of weird power growing inside me... but blah its nothing really... I mean maybe i'll tell you later.
I looked ot the window to see the silver moon shining down onto the water outside my window. Flowers climbed up the trellis's (?) my mother and i had made all those years ago on one of our frequent visits to my uncles house. Yah my uncle ... Cyrus Drake. but he wasnt always that bad infact he used to be really funny actually. He could even make my father laugh not like that took much either then but still... I climbed out my window over to the small garden, one of the flowers was drooping it was my mothers favorite, a daylily.
they used to be everywhere in our house I used to love it when she would pluck one and put it in my hair ... without much thought I reached out and touched it my hand started to glow and instantly the fower was looking gorgeous again. I smiled sadly to myself my mother had taught me that 'minor blessing' I remembered ...
"Mother Lily is dying! Can you fix her?," i held out my painted green pot to my mother Lily was my 'pet' daylily i loved to take care of flowers with my mother it was something she did only with me and being one of six you need some special time,"Oh Emily let me see Lily... oh i think i see the problem lt me fix that!" My mothers fingers started to glow and then just like that Lily was perfect again!
"Thank you Mommy you saved Lily! Your the awesomest!," i jumped up giving my mother a hug
"Emily dear be careful im still holding Lily!," instantly my face became serious again or well as serious as any five year old could possibly ever be...
"Mommy how did you do that? Was that life magic?," i questioned with my finger on my mouth
"Yes Emily good job!," my mother praised me as she would one of her favorite students," Its called 'minor blessing' do you want me to teach you?"
"FOR REALS?" I jumped up
"Yes Emily," my mother said smiling,"For reals."
"Thank you Mommy!"
I still had Lily today she was to put it simply a very very very old flower she was 9 years old... i kept her on my dresser i would be taking her with me tomorrow. Tomorrow i was going to ravenwood... the idea still scared me what if no one liked me! what if they thought i was my fathers evil incarnate!? Oh no .... it was why i wasnt sleeping now I was so nervous!
Well that and I like to stay up late... eh heh ... yah .... oh well I better be getting to sleep i thought to myself as i walked back towards my window I caught sight of myself in the fountain water. I was looking more like my mother eachday. My eyes were big brown and innocent looking they complemented my shoulderlength brown hair that was streaked with gold from the sun. Small flecks of gold were carried into my eyes but you wouldnt notice unless you were standing really close. My face and hair color was repeated five times so i guess it wasnt really my face alone.
It was our face. But still my hair had the most gold sreaks! I let out another sigh well might as well get back to bed i was going to have a long day tomorrow ... i looked back down once more the moonlight reflected off my pale face. "please let us do okay tomorrow mom please? Its going to be harsh things have changed since you left.," I whipered mostly to myself but I looked up at the moon again,"Please?" and with that I went back to bed and hoped that some sleep would find me ...
I watched my daughter slowly drift off to sleep in our mirror of fog she was growing up to be so big and strong. All of them were... My first children were enrolling in Ravenwood I was so proud of them I couldnt wait to see which schools they were going to get into! But Emily I already knew she would be like me, a life wizard. I couldnt wait to see how powerful she would become.
"SYLVIA!," Malistare cried "Where are you!"
"Coming dear!"I called frantically waving my hand through the mist mirror i would come back later...
