Love is Magical

~Chapter one, the new comers~

Five years have passed since that nurse stabbed you with you first of many needles. You cringed your teeth as the doctors poked you and prodded you with needles and other sharp tools. You felt like a pin cushion.

The only thing that made your life worthwhile was the only friend you had made in this place, Salem Torres. He was an asshole to most. You would catch him smoking outside at lunchtime. You knew that it was against the rules but, it wasn't like you could stop him.

Salem was a tall boy. He was slim but, he could take down anyone with one punch. His hair was straight in the front and spiked up in the back. His hair was a mix of brown, blond and auburn, his eyes where a very electric blue.

He was very mysterious, not a soul knew how he ended up in the loony bin. That doesn't mean that there weren't a hundred rumors going around about him. Some say he killed a person because he heard things. Others would say he is delusional and would harass the school. To you this didn't matter. You were just happy to have a friend considering everyone there thought you were a freak.

Shadow girl they would call you. You got into fights a lot and because of that that you had a red ankle band on. Salem would joke about it to you. You would respond back with like your any better and he would just smirk and say that he didn't get caught.

You both got your lunch trays and sat in the back. You began to eat your food. "So how are the breaks treating you?" Your mouth turned into a frown as you grumbled. The break was a slang term that they all made up for the experiments they would do to you. "They got me on these stupid horse pills." You said as you took another bite of your bland chicken sandwich. "That sucks."

You nod when suddenly you see the guards come in with three boys. You as well as everyone else kept silent when they started to take off the shackles on the boys hands. "So they came quietly, you don't see that happen too often." Salem said as he fiddled with his blue hospital shirt.

You shake your head when you see the three boys' look straight at you. You stare back at them. Right above one of the boy's heads was a shadow. It was really small but none the less it was a shadow. It teased you knowing that if you screamed or started anything you would lose your lunch breaks too and wouldn't be able to see Salem.

You bite your fingers in fear as they got closer to you. You were finally able to see their features. The first man had blond hair and bright green eyes and huge eye brows; he was a little pudgy but, in a cute sort of way. The next man right behind him was an orange haired man with gleaming red eyes and was those fangs? You must be seeing things again, you concluded. Finally you looked at the last person. He seemed to be uninterested in you. He had blond hair also but it wasn't a golden blond like the first mans, it more of a honey blond. He had a small silver cross in his hair and a slight curl that slide out to the back. His eyes were a blue/violet mix. You found them beautiful.

You were interrupted by a cough and looked up to see the first man eyeing you while grinning slightly. You cringed from the shadow that was still looming over his head. "Hello, may we sit here?" You looked into his eyes and sighed. "Yeah sure." Salem pated your head and you smacked him. "Ow! That's so mean shadow! Now I am going to have a bruise." You growled. "Shut up you idiot!" Salem just smiles and wrapped his arm around you.

You looked back to the new company sitting across from you to see that they were studying you oddly. You looked at them a frown crossing your face. "Ahh..." They look up and the first man blushed. "I am sorry; I just got caught up in your eyes." You smirk at him, not like you hadn't heard that one before.

"It's okay, mind if you tell me your names strangers?" The first man breathed out in relief like he thought you were about to smack him or something. Geez were you that bad? "Yes, I don't mind my name is Arthur." The red eyed one sitting next to him smiled at you. "My name is Vladimir but you can call me Vlad for short." The light blonde guy shrugged at you with a plain expression on his face. "My name is Lukas." He mumbles. "You smile and he just looks down. Wasn't he just a ray of sunshine! "So how did you get put into the slammer?" Salem asks as he bites his cheese burger.

"Ah that's kind of private." Arthur says as he picks at his sandwich with disgust. "Does this play have any type of tea?" He asks. You shake your head."He slams his fist into the table. "Blast it!" You giggle for the first time in a long time. Arthur grins at you.

"So what is your name sweet heart?" Vlad asks as he sips at what you thought was cranberry juice. "Ah my name is (Name)." You say as you finish the last bits of the chicken sandwich. "Oh well that's quite pretty." Arthur says as he continues to pick at the sludge that they called food here. You smile.

"So tell me (Name), what got you stock here in the first place?" Lukas spoke up his voice monotone like. You sigh and bite you nails. "Ah (Name), if you don't want to tell them you don't have to." Salem says as he hugs you and looks into your eyes, a concerned look in his eyes. You shrug him off and look at him. "No like the wont find out soon enough, I might as well be the one to tell them." You say as you snap your fingers.

They all look at you, giving you all their attention. "Well I can see things, things normal people can't. Ever since I was ten." You pause and take a gust of air. It was really hard to talk about. "Its okay love, take your time." Arthur said as you struggled to find your voice again. "Sorry." You say. "When I turned ten I saw shadows that would laugh at me and say things into my head." You looked over to see their reactions. They seemed really interested like they had already known. You continued.

"I used to shout and scream at night. Eventually it got worse, they were in my school and then inside my head. My parents were scared of me. They sent me away like I didn't even matter to them. So now I am stuck here in this hell hole. I can still see them everywhere. There is one on your head right now Arthur."

Arthur frowned like his worst fears were indeed real, "I see, Lukas can you get it off for me?" Lukas grabbed the shadow off of Arthur and Vlad opened a glass flask and captured it. You were amazed by this.

"How did you?" Arthur smiled lightly at you and put a finger to your lips. "Shhhh. We will meet you tonight in the courtyard. Meet us at midnight. We will tell you everything then." You nod as the lunch bell rand signaling everyone to go back to their rooms.

You grab your things as you all exit the building you look back and see that the three men were mysteriously gone. "What do you think that was all about?" Salem asks curiously as he looks back through the crowd of people. "I don't know." You say. "But I am going to find out!" You say and with that you both left for your rooms.

Thank you for reading! Don't forget to please review! I won't continue till I get at least one.
