Night Shadow

Chapter 1 : Present Day

Sitting quietly in the desk I wondered how much longer I'd be stuck in this class. Truly I knew how long; another 15 minutes to be exact. I did not want to be stuck in this class since I knew what I was doing already I saw no need to be here but they did. When I say they I mean the norms-normal people non magickal people- it's a bit harder than most would think to be different among a whole school of people like that because if they knew I was different I'd be teased and probably killed.

I stared out the second story private school window anxious to leave this class. When I look out the window I see dark clouds start to roll into view, blocking the sun's rays every now and then darkening the history class room. The dark clouds reminded me of the shadows I like to hide in, the ones I can control to do my bidding if I requested it. Slowly the clouds filled in the what used to be a blue sunny sky is now a clouded darkness.

When the bell sounded I gathered my stuff and headed for my dorm room. Though when I opened the door I didn't expect what I saw. My boyfriend and our friends were all gathered in my room they must of ran to get here before me other wise I would have beaten them here.

My dorm room walls are a blood red almost maroon color with a black bed set-the curtains, bed covers, canopy curtains, black iron bed frame, but also my little ice box - and dark brown wooden furniture- a desk, book shelf, table and chairs, my dresser then also my night stand; the sofa and my desk chair are a dark red leather that is as soft as silk. The bathroom had marble floors plus the counters were also marble the marble was a charcoal color then the sink was a white marble a big mirror about 2 yards wide and long hung above the sink counter with hanging lights then lastly my dorm's shower was a walk in shower with the same marble as the floor on the inside of the shower and its walls while the other bathroom parts where the same as the dorm itself. Now my closest was a walk in with white shelves and white rods to hang stuff on. Other than that it was a normal living area for a night student.

I sighed deeply as Vex came toward me to wrapped his muscled arms around me leading me to the sofa where I curled up next to him content to be by his side again. Raylee, Raleigh and Moondari stay on the sofa across from the one where Vex and I sat curled up together. Dex and Sarah sat against the wall below the window against each other I was happy Dex found someone that he can love he doesn't have to feel left out anymore.

"It makes no sense at all" said Seri as he walked into my room followed by Kai and Leash-I know crazy name for a guy but that's his name- "Night class students shouldn't have to go out during the day Jynx is proof of that look at her." Seri pointed one tan finger at me.

He was right though I'm not a day person I am a night person; I feel off of the shadows I can get my home is the night. Leash stood behind Raylee then broke into a grin.

I think I need to back up to show you all how we ended up at Raven Academy. How before we got here we weren't all, well relaxed. Time for the truth of how being different is both a gift and a curse that we never asked for. Not in a thousand years.
