Run baby run!

Don't ever look back!

It'll tear us apart,

If you give them the chance!

Oh… I'm running alright. I never looked back ever since I made a life changing decision. Who would've thought trying to protect the ones you love is hard.

*Flashback*

I was just 13 and was at the back of my "HUMAN" school when an unknown guy came (four other guys and a teenage girl about my age was standing behind him). He came through a portal out of nowhere and was talking to me straight away after he came out of the portal as if he knows me. Actually… He does…

"Zara, you're one of the chosen ones. You are the sixth member of 'The Six Legendary'. You are destined for greatness ever since you were young; but of course it is up to you whether to accept your powers or to throw it away," the guy from earlier on said with what I figured might be his normal tone. He looked familiar but I don't remember anyone in my family and friends that looked even 1% close to him.

"What are you talking about?! I'm a normal human being with no powers of which you speak of!" I exclaimed. I just couldn't face the fact that…I'm a…witch. At least that's what I thought he was talking about.

"That's when you're wrong, Zara," he replied, still in his normal tone. I was about to say more when suddenly a flash of sliding pictures cross inside my head with velocity as fast as that of lightning. It was so quick but for some reason I could make out what was on each picture. One image was showing all of us together but we look a few years younger. I look like I was six! There's even an image of me with three boys playing with me! (For your information, I meant the three out of four other guys who was standing behind the guy who was talking to me earlier)… I was becoming dizzy and confused that I almost fell on my knees. But I didn't. I'm not a type of girl that likes to fall on the ground and hope someone will get me up. You know what I mean!

Then, surprisingly when I lifted my head, I actually recognized each one of them. I rubbed my head because I was still feeling a little dizzy. I was about to open my mouth to apologize for my impoliteness but was interrupted by soft shouts of pain. Helios, the one who was talking to me earlier, grab hold of my arm and ordered the others to hide behind some trees and thick bushes nearby. For once, I thank Kami for forcing my parents to send me to Tennyson Academy, a school that was just built 3 years ago and located near a forest. If they didn't send me here, I don't think these magic users and me will be able to hide. Well, we waited for a moment when I suddenly realized that the voices sounded familiar. The voices were that of girls and sounded like my friends', Karla, Josephine, Penelope, Mayumi, Humairah, Nurain and Sukey.

"Oh no! My friends are in trouble!" I said, almost shouting.

"Shh… Keep it down. We don't want to attract any attention," Helios said in his normal, calm tone. The others remained silent not mentioning even a word.

Then, I saw seven of my friends being dragged by some men in black uniforms with greyish skin and well equipped with swords.

"We've got to stop them! They might kill my friends!" I said in a tense whisper.

"Zara, this is one of the reasons we came here. If you choose to come with us, you will be able to change the faith of your friends," Helios said to me. He looked at me for some time, waiting for my answer.

"Zara, to tell you the truth, not only your friends will be safe, but all the worlds in the universe will be safe and sound. The universe's peace will be balanced," Luna, who kept silent since he came, finally said something.

I thought about it for a moment and decided at that time, I wanted to become strong for the people I love, I care and those who I never met before. After a brief moment, I finally spoke in confidence, "I'll go with you."

*End of flashback*

"Forget about it!" I said almost shouting. My life is complicated ever since. I hide behind lies every time people ask me questions that may reveal my secrets. I've been hiding the truth for so long! I have to tell sooner or later! But I know deep down in my heart that it's impossible. My parents found out about it anyway when they saw me fighting some men of my nemesis's named Subiaco Slyther. He's cruel. He came from a long line of evil rulers, on his mother side of course. His father is not evil but falls in love with his mother who's an evil person. The Slythers are just evil, cruel and rotten! Anyway, my parents saw me fighting Subiaco's men after a certain school ceremony. I ran out the back door of the stage and kicked some serious butt! My parents parked their car at the back as well as there was a car park behind the school hall. I didn't know that because I came two hours earlier than them. "BUSTED!" was the only word I could say when they saw me.

"There I go again! Remembering the past! Why do I keep on remembering things?! Forget about it!" I said to myself.

Anyway, I am a witch and is now under a new curse. My 47th curse to be exact. I have to find a way to end the curse because it bounds one's potential or ability. For example, when I was on my 46th curse, it sealed my ability to manipulate Ice. And as the sixth, I have to go through 60 curses. What a drag! Every time I'm under a new curse, a ray of light will shoot down in a straight line directly at me. It doesn't hurt of course but I have to hear carefully and remember what The Voice said. When a curse ends it happens as well except The Voice will say "congratulations" or "job well done". Anyway, "Skills, moves and stealth are important and so does teamwork," was what The Voice last said.

I figured it might be a ninja thing, so I decided to ask my mother if I can go to a different world where danger is inevitable. She surprisingly said I may and even told me to ask my sister if she wants to come along.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I want to come along!" my sister, Sara, squealed. "That's cool! I can't wait!"

"Alright but we have to pack up now. We're leaving at once," I replied, slightly irritated by her endless squealing.

I have to pack up a lot of things since I'm a witch and human student. I have a lot of responsibilities. Not only that, I'm also a princess of Magic World, the eighth ruler of Magic World that rules Icrealice, the eighth land of Magic World. There are eight rulers in Magic World and 9 lands. The ninth land belongs to the evil Slyther family.

By 12.00 midnight which is exactly four hours since we started packing, we bid farewell to our parents and little brothers Alex and Alain. I told them not to worry because I will protect Sara from any harm. They gave a small warm smile and hugged the both of us. After that, I create a portal that will send us to another world. The world we're going to is 'Nin', where part of the world is filled with ninjas. We gave a last glance at our family and went through the portal.
