Her eyes snapped open as the alarm clock went off. She smacked it to shut it off and sat up yawning a bit. It was still dark out as she got up, showered, and got ready for the first day of school. Her name was Tala Lucia Accalia and she was 16 years old. She had dark black hair and olive toned skin, her eyes were a dark brown color and she was tall for a 16 year old girl.

She stood in front of her mirror brushing her hair long hair and wondering what to do with it. She wanted to make a good first impression on everyone at school. She let her bangs fall into her face and sighed deciding to just curl her bangs and tie it up. 'Simple but elegant' she thought to herself as she pinned her bangs behind her ear. She slid on a white v-neck shirt and a black leather jacket. She then slipped into a pair of torn up black and red leggings and a pair of black shorts over those.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled as she began to do her make up applying black eyeliner and giving herself the winged look. She then put on red lipstick to give herself a subtle but dangerous look. She put on a necklace and kept it hidden under her shirt, on it was a pendant of a howling wolf. She walked downstairs to see her foster mother cooking breakfast.

Her foster mom was young barely 27, she had pale white skin blonde hair and green eyes. Her name was Emma and she was surprisingly kind to Tala.

"Good morning Tala. Excited for your first day of school yeah?" The older woman asked. Tala gave her a tight lipped smile and a firm nod. She still didn't trust her foster mother and Emma didn't blame her. From what Tala's social worker had said Emma was surprised Tala could trust anyone anymore. Abandoned in the woods at the age of 2 and thought to be left for dead by the police and social services.

Emma shook her head to clear her mind "Anyway dear I wasn't sure what you liked so I made waffles, bacon, black pudding, sausage, eggs, toast, and beans. There's also fresh squeezed orange juice." The blonde said with a smile. "Now I'll be taking Josh and Jake to school then I'll be back to take you is that alright?" She asked.

"I can walk from here I don't mind." Tala said quickly.

"The school is almost 5 miles from here love."

"The fresh air will do me good, so I can clear me head" she said.

"But if you don't leave now you'll be late" Emma said seriously.

"I better start walking then." She said. She grabbed a plastic sandwich bag and put a waffle and some bacon and sausage in it." Emma frowned but let her continue deciding that if she made it to school on time she could walk if she wanted.

"Alright but if you're late I'll be taking you for the rest off the year." She said. Tala nodded and smiled "Here's your lunch and here's some many in case anything happens" she said handing her a lunch sack and some money. "Have a good day. You have your phone so call me if you'll be needing a ride home." She said touching her arm gently as she walked out the front door.

Tala grabbed her book bag and her shoes putting on the black boots and lacing them up. She slid her book bag over her shoulder then walked out the front door as well. She acted like she was walking to school until she saw Emma's car disappear around the corner then she took off into the forest running towards the school.

She listened to the sounds of the twigs crunching beneath her feet and the animals around her. She smelled the fresh air and the flowers and trees. Her eyes flashed yellow as she ran faster and faster towards the school jumping over fallen logs and bouncing off trees.

She made it to the school 15 minutes early and smiled. She pulled a compact mirror out of her bag and checked her appearance fixing some of her hair which had gone astray during her run. Once she was satisfied she walked towards the school slowly. She took a deep breath and walked in ready to face the new students she was sure to meet.

She walked to the office and let the headmaster know who she was, he gave her a schedule and a map then told her to be on her way. She was walking towards homeroom when she caught a whiff of something different. She shook it off and walked into her homeroom giving the paperwork to the teacher who introduced himself as Mr. Jeffries.

She went to sit at the back when she smelled it again. She looked up quickly at the door and saw a short brunette girl, a tall Sandy blonde haired boy, and a red haired girl walk in with a black haired dark skinned boy and his thin pale female friend.

She tilted her head as the three stared at her. She didn't know why but she felt her body begin to tingle as they got closer. The short brunette stopped in front of her "You don't belong here. This is my territory."
