I DO NOT OWN (UNFORTUNATELY) *TEAR* *TEAR*

Chapter 1

As her eyes shot open, she quickly sat up from her bed and checked around her room to make sure that her occurring nightmares of a murderer, well, killing her, weren't true. Once she successfully checked her room for any mysterious black mutts that change into murderous crazies, she sighed and then looked down at her queen sized bed of pink and white Egyptian silk and cotton, then stretched. The girl of 17 years slowly swung her legs over the side of her amazingly comfortable bed, then her eyes locked onto her extremely pale pink scratch walls and stared for a minute or two. Obviously she wasn't fully awake, but she was awake enough to realize she needed a shower. Her feet touched the dark stained, wide planked, wooden floors, she flinched. It was hella cold she said to herself. Her floor was enough to wake her up from her haziness and was reminded that she was to transfer to Hogwarts today. She was a sunshine state girl. Orlando, Florida was her home. She wasn't born there or anything, she was born on Chaplin Bay Beach in Hamilton, Bermuda, but Florida was her home away from home. Anyways, she found out recently that she was a witch. She also found out that she was adopted '....great' she thought. And to think that her whole life was real. She knew something was wrong when she looked closely at her mother, father older brother,Uriah, and younger sister, Harper, and realized they were all blonde and brown eyed (except Uriah, he has blue), while herself, has long layered black hair all the way down to her tail bone/mid-back (like Miley Cyrus .), sharp blue-green eyes (like a cat) and has tanned olive skin........after I explained that...how could they be related, I mean that doesn't even sound right. She just shrugged it off. Telling herself that she was right all along wasn't going to help her now, since she needed to get a shower and get her stuff together before her 'mother' woke up. Her mom, Cecilia Leighton, was the kind of mom that rushed things and she got all like, crazy, when someone was late somewhere, but she loved her. Her father, Archer Leighton, passed away. She didn't know how he did, but it couldn't have been old age, he was only like, what, 40? yes because he was 20 when he and mom had Uriah and mom was 18 I think. Anyways, mom tells her kids it was a car accident or something...I knew it was a lie....even if I was 7 years old at the time. I sure wasn't stupid, even now, I'm not going to lie, I'm still brilliant as ever.

*2 Hours later*

She finished her shower and straightened her hair and mess-ied it up for the special occasion which made her have a boho look. She had on black eyeliner on both bottom and top eye lid and some cream colored eyeshadow with black mascara on top of her already black eyelashes. She put on some pink plumping lip gloss on to add to her already plump lips and to make them pinker...and shinier. Her cream colored deep v-cut shirt matched her eyeshadow. It was long sleeved fitted sweater like shirt. The sleeves were fitted until the elbow of the shirt and then it bubbled out the rest of the sleeve. She wore her ripped dark denim Hollister shorts until she got even remotely near the 9 ¾ station in London. She was going to be already hot with the sweater and all, so she could have at least a little flo rida in and around her. Her style was complete boho and beachy like. To finish it ALL off, she had her black crocodile skin gladiator sandals on with a simple ankle bracelet she always wears, she got it from her dad 'at birth'...yeah right. It probably came in the mail along with her.

OC POV

"SKY HARLOW LEIGHTON!!!" mom came busting through my bedroom door

"um...yeah?" I was almost too shocked for words. How could she yell so early in the morning? I guess that's my mother for ya.

"oh, so you're up already? That's good, now come down for breakfast, I made your favorite~" she sang

"oh goody. I really cant wait to have Mexican food at 4 in the morning" I sarcastically added

"now now, no need to be testy. I know it's really early, but you're about to leave the states on your own today! Aren't you happy? And besides...since when was mexican food your favorite? I could have sworn it was chocolate chip pancakes!" she almost said in one breath. Cecilia left Skye without letting her answer a single question her mom asked, but whatever, typical day/night in the leighton household

"....oh boy" Okay, just so we're clear I'm not normally this crabby. I just have morning issues, especially when I have to wake up at 2, but who doesn't?
