The cool night air made the hair on her neck stand on end. She slowed to a jog as she neared closer to Spencer Academy. The loose strands of hair from her ponytail fell, sticking to her face as she wiped at her forehead. Running was the only way she could shake the dream and return to somewhat of a peaceful slumber. It was the only time she really felt free. Rounding the corner a little too quickly she collided with a solid form. She let out a small gasp.

"Oh Pogue, I'm sorry I didn't see you." She said when she looked up to see whom she had run into.

"It's alright Em, no harm done. What are you doing out so late? He inquired eyeing her suspiciously.

He took in her form. Emera was a petite girl about five foot three in height. Her brown hair was tied into a messy ponytail and many of the strands were now sticking to the side of her face and neck. A faint red rimmed her emerald green eyes as if she had been crying. She wore a thin pale green tank top which barley covered her black sports bra and tight black shorts which were a few inched above her knees.

"I could say the same for you." She said a wicked grin tugging at the corners of her mouth, but her eyes refused to defy her and they were firmly set on his.

Pogue frowned. He had just come back from a party at the Dells and had to drop Kate off. After she and Pogue had been released from their respective hospitals their relationship had been on the rocky side. True it had always been but this time it was different. Sure Pogue knew he loved Kate a lot, he just wasn't willing or even ready to share his secret with her especially since he was so close to his ascension. Kate hadn't suspected anything of the sort except that she knew he was hiding something from her.

Constantly accusing him of being jealous, she was now turning it around on him, refusing to leave his side at the party. Emera cocked her head to the side slightly. He nodded slightly a small smile now gracing his gorgeous face.

"Well be careful out here are you heading back to the dorms? She nodded.

"I've got to get home. I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Yeah, goodnight Pogue." She said as she increased her speed. Pogue Parry was left scratching his head as he made his way to his bike.

Emera Stone was so mysterious sometimes. He had met her when she first transferred to Spencer Academy in their second year. She was a quiet and calm person but other than that he really didn't know much about her except that she worked at the motorcycle shop as a receptionist. Emera Stone kept to herself, she rarely went out to parties. Pogue always had a class with her and he had a tendency to nod off or not pay attention.

He wasn't like Caleb. Sure he had responsibilities and expectations to uphold but he had other things on his mind. The one time he had actually nodded off in Science, Emera Stone who he had sat beside nudged him awake when he had been called on and pointed to the answer she had written down on her notebook. It was obviously correct. If anyone knew anything about her it was that Emera Stone was smart.

He figured it was all the time she spent alone by choice usually. The only person he ever saw with her was her roommate Ava Quinn who was equally as mysterious and weird. Emera returned to her dorm somewhat out of breath from the run. Funny how her slow jog had turned into a full out sprint. She unlocked the door to her dorm and found her roommate typing on the computer. They quickly made eye contact but neither made a noise or said anything until the door was shut and Emera was fully in the room.

"Couldn't sleep?" Ava asked looking quickly at her nightstand where the big bright red letters read 2:00 AM. Emera nodded. Ava untied her baby blond hair letting it fall to her shoulders. She shut the computer down and returned to her bed.

"I thought you finished that paper a couple of days ago." Emera asked.

"I did, this is for the one that will be assigned next week." She said quietly not looking Emera in the eyes this time. Emera stopped gathering her things for a quick shower and faced her roommate.

"I didn't know you could see that far into your future." She said almost to herself.

Ava nodded pulling the covers over herself and falling asleep. Emera quietly made her way to the showers. Quiet, peaceful and under the radar that was how she liked to keep things. She rinsed out her conditioner and lingered under the water for a little while longer. When did things get so complicated? She thought to herself. She turned off the water and gathered her things. Wrapping her towel around her and slowly stepping out form the girl's lavatory Emera quickly made her way back to her room stopping suddenly when she heard footsteps. She rounded the corner and kept her breathing low as she waited and prayed for the footsteps to turn down the other hallway.

"Bianca Sparrow was so hot at that party did you see the way she looked at me tonight?" Reid Garwin asked.

"Yeah except she was with her boyfriend Reid." Tyler Simms chuckled.

"I just happen to be that good baby boy!" Reid laughed.

Emera let out a breath they were heading right towards her and she wouldn't be able to avoid them. It would take too much power to get passed them undetected she would just have to live with the embarrassment. So much for staying off the radar she sighed. She had to pass by Reid Garwin in nothing but a towel and sopping wet hair. She rounded the corner almost bumping into Tyler.

"Sorry." She said when she looked up to face him and his gorgeous blue eyes. He smiled.

"Hey Em, that's ok."

"Well it's late I'll see you in class Tyler." She said quietly looking over and giving Reid a small smile and nod as she quickly made her way to her dorm. He had a cocky smirk his eyebrows raised and his blond hair falling slightly in his eyes as he bit on his thumb.

"Dam, baby boy I think you just one upped me tonight. Who was that?" Reid Garwin said watching Emera's retreating form.

Tyler smiled. "Emera Stone, Reid she's in all our classes." Tyler said smirking.

Emera tugged on her door to her dorm room. This was definitely not her night. All she needed now was Caleb Danvers to coming walking around the corner to complete seeing all four Ipswich sons. Thankfully he didn't live at the dorms. She tugged on her door one last time before becoming fed up. She didn't want to wake Ava up and it was only a tiny bit of magic, untraceable even. She convinced her self as she pointed a finger to the lock and concentrated until she hear the little click and let herself in.


Well that was the first chapter, let me know how it went i guess.
