Jax's POV

Rebel boot camp. 3 words that a wizard like me would laugh at, but I was really in trouble this time. Turns out, E really was trying to get rid of Emma; and I was her 'accomplice'. How was I supposed to know? Junior and I happen to be best friends! So, the Wizard Council sent me to a rebel boot camp for witches and wizards; and this time, father dearest couldn't bail me out. Oh great, roll call. "Jax Novoa." A stern voice called. "Present." I replied. A girl strutted over and stood with her back to me. I know that hair! EMMA? Emma's in Rebel boot camp? "Mia?" The same stern voice yelled. "Present." She answered. Weird. Just Mia? I wonder what her last name is. She looks so much like Emma, but acts nothing like her! I stare at her a little bit longer until she turns around. "Take a picture. It'll last longer." She advised with a smirk. Her silky black hair was windswept, and her dark brown eyes were cold and uninviting. Emma's polar opposite. She kind of reminds me of E. I like her already.

Emma's POV

"Hey Em!" Andi called as I finished my shift at the Beachside Seven. "Oh hey Andi!" "I still can't believe you CHOSE to work over the summer." She said as I walked over. "Well what else do you want me to do? Plus, I get to spend extra time with Danny." She shrugged, and then realization hit her eyes. "Em! Lilly wants to talk to you ASAP! She said it was something SUPER important!" "Um.. Okay! I'll open a portal to the council when I get home. You coming?" I asked. It was Andi's dream to go into the 'magic realm'; and ever since she helped me defeat Evil Desdemona, the council has accepted her. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YES! YES! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!" She squealed. "Of course I am," I replied with a giggle, "Relax, you're not getting married!"

As soon as we got home, I saw a bright pink sticky note on the table, 'County wide meeting. Be home by 6, stay safe. Love, Dad' "Okay, that gives us 4 hours until my dad's back. Let's go see what Lilly needs!" "Aren't you forgetting something? Time freezes when your not here Em, you should know this! Take all the time you need in that witches' place, I need to go see what gives all of you powers!" Andi yelled from down the hall. Of course! Lilly was right, I should probably pay more attention when she's teaching me 'witch history.'

My favorite kind of tree is the elm,

Make me a portal, lead me to the magic realm

"Lilly? I'm here! You wanted to talk to me?" I call once Andi and I are inside Lilly's office. Finally, I see her thick, black hair tied up in a tight ponytail. Her eyes are wide and alert. She quickly glances at Andi, "Hey Andi! This is really private, so do you maybe want to take a tour while I speak to Emma?" Andi looks offended for a second, but then her face softens; "It's fine Lilly. I understand. I'd love to take a tour! Bye Em! See you later!" She calls as she runs out of the room. "Emma! The council has tracked irregular magical ability in the Rebel boot camp for witches and wizards that's taking place this summer! The power, it's almost as strong as yours! And considering that whoever has it is in boot camp, they can't possibly be using it for good." She blurted. I stared at her, stunned. "What do you want me to do? Spend my whole summer looking for someone that just MIGHT be a powerful witch or wizard that wants to destroy me?" I sputtered. "Well... It won't be THAT hard. Aggie, Ramona, and I believe, that you have a sibling! If you don't find whoever this is within 2 1/2 weeks, we will arrange to send you back into the human world! Emma please, you're the only one who can feel the aura of this person! If they are powerful, and possibly related to you, you'll feel a strange surge of energy coming from one person, and one person only. We think you have a sister, so be on the lookout for girls that look something like you. Once you find her, you have to do this alone, tell her to take off her shoes. On your right foot, is a star birthmark; the chosen mark, on her right foot, there should be a circle." Lilly explained carefully. I looked down at the tiled floor. If I did this, I'd be protecting the magic realm from another potential threat; and as the chosen one, it was my job. I sighed, "Okay, I'll do it. But, on one condition; Andi gets to come with me." Lilly smiled, "I think I can make that happen."
