Chapter Two
"School"
Words, loud unintelligible words being yelled underwater. Delilah groaned and started to move her head, freeing an ear from a pillow and causing the noise to become more legible
"I don't care if she had a pass, you're supposed to make sure all magical applicants have parental consent!" Delilah heard her father yelling and she opened her eyes to see him, but she didn't see her father, instead she saw a very tall man with long crimson hair and sharp pointy ears, he looked absolutely stunning, almost like a model.
"D-d-d-dad?" she whispered and the man turned toward her with fury in his plum eyes
"Dally girl, are you alright?" he asked, the anger in those swirling orbs vanishing when they met hers, her father knelt down next to her but when she nodded her head her father smacked her across the head.
"Do you KNOW how much trouble you're in young lady!" he hissed at her though slightly sharp teeth and looked as if he was about to yell some more
"Sir... by law she must go to magic school, with her aptitude she can choose any choice-"
"she will do no such thing!" her father interrupted, causing the man that was speaking to freeze up and stiffen before attempting to speak again.
"Sir. It is the law, Queen Roxy ordered it, and as it is you're already in trouble as it is. Elf's aren't aloud out of Tir nan og. You will have to make an appearance in front of the fairy of Justice. Having Miss. Delilah attend a school will ease your judgement" the man said and Delilah's father narrowed his eyes, seeming to want to say something back to him but he said nothing to the man before looking at Delilah again
"You took the test, do you have a school chosen?" he asked but the man, that man her father seemed to become more and more annoyed with coughed to get her attention
"Miss Delilah, if i may be so bold, but with your power you could easily make it into Alfea or Cloud tower, both would help your father far more than going to an earthly magic school" he said, Delilah paused, watching her father as he seemed to want to be sick with rage.
"Which one would be more useful?" Delilah managed to ask as the man pulled out a pamphlet, holding it out to her. However her father would grab it from him as the man would say
"The new year started yesterday so you would have missed orientation, but with your skills i can send in an application on your behalf and have you placed on the roster" he said. Delilah Bit her lip, but then nodded her head.
"when do i leave?" she asked and the man smiled smugly "One week" the man said and Delilah looked over at her father, squeezing his hand though she knew he did not need her reassurance
"Sign me up"
Alfea, Magix
Mara sat with her arms crossed and Delilah couldn't help but look at her with a scowl that normally her friend would be wearing by now.
"it's not my fault" Delilah said and Mara rolled her eyes, keeping her lips pressed together
"It's not like i wanted to take the test in the first place"
Delilah whispered and Mara turned to look at her at last "oh, so it's my fault?" Delilah grinned when she finally heard Mara's voice
"Kind of, yeah" she said and Mara glared at her "I didn't melt the machine" she said but Delilah was already shaking her head "no, but it doesn't matter, I won't be at Alfea long. Just enough time to help my father" she said and looked up at Mara "I'll join you at cloud tower as soon as i find a way to help him" she said but Mara was already looking down and sighing
"Of course, then you'll love it and forget about your promise" Mara said and then scoffed, but then the bus stopped
"Alfea!" the driver yelled causing Delilah to smile "I wont" she said and Mara glared up at her
"I'll see you at cloud tower then...by next year" she said as Delilah picked up her suitcase and jumped off the bus.
As soon as she was safely on the ground the wind blowing her dark brown hair as she looked up at the school a woman with dark red hair smiled at her from the front gate.
"Delilah?" the woman asked and she nodded her head
"My name is Mirta, I will be showing you around and getting you sorted for your classes" Mirta said "Please, follow me to your dorm" she said
Mirta lead Delilah up several flights of stairs and into a dorm, opening the door.
"This will be your home for the next few years. The girls here will be your family, you'll meet them on break, and if any of them give you a hard time tell me, I know most of their mothers personally" she said
"Alright, get unpacked" Mirta said when Delilah said nothing.
"A classmate will come up after classes. Your room is to the left, you'll share with another attendee" Mirta filled her in "Classes for you officially start tomorrow but you'll find books in the library that you should study up on so you're not too far behind" she said before she would take one last look around before leaving the room.
Delilah would finally let a sigh release from her lungs, the air breezing out passed her lips before she walked over to her room and dropped her bags on the bed, she didn't want to be here when her guide came to show her around so instead she walked toward the door, shutting it behind and heading for the library.
