Chapter 2-
I woke with a start. People were crying but mostly gasping- Had I changed that much? I sat up and saw the same people, no ambulances, no emergency, just my class and obviously concerned friends who had filtered into the classroom. Maybe they knew what I was, I had to defend myself I stood up and backed away to the wall. I glanced in front of me to see Ethan calm and still watching me with wide eyes.
He stepped forward and put out his hand "Megan you have to trust me, I know about the legends" I looked at him with shocked eyes and he read my expression "I know what you are, because we are the same" My biology teacher stepped forward and looked at both of us "And so the Legends were true, the queen and king reunited at last" I gasped and looked at Ethan. He looked as shocked as me.
"No…No this cant be happening" I stuttered looking at Mrs Barclay.
"My real name is Lenobia and I am like both of you" my biology teacher spoke directly to both of us.
I looked around the class to see shocked faces of awe at me! Did they know? It wasn't like I was pretty. My best friend Laura came over to me with a mirror and sniffled "You had better have a look at yourself"
I looked into the reflection and gasped, I really looked like what I was meant to be. I had black hair, not the cheap dyed stuff but the glossy thick flowing curtain of hair that shimmered like in the adverts, but better. I had a swooping fringe and it was layered. My eyes were golden with a hint of red and my skin was pale. My lips were rounder and were tainted slightly redder than before. All I could think at that moment was, I am beautiful, at last I am who I have always wanted to be!
I looked up and gasped when I realised one of the changes, my vision was much stronger than before, were the legends right? Would I be stronger, faster, intelligent? I looked at my best friends- Laura, Charlotte, Emma, Jess and Alice. They were looking at me with wide eyes and shock as well. I looked over to Lenobia "The legends said you would be shocked and delighted…" I scrunched my face up in pain- how was I going to explain this to my family? "…and they mentioned the circumstances you would have to explain everything in" I sighed and sat on the bench. "They can't know!" I almost shouted. "They have to, unless your going to wipe their minds!" I looked at her again and sighed. "Oh god what am I going to do?" I looked towards Ethan. He couldn't be what the legends said he was… it was just to perfect…
"Megan what is the secret?" Jess asked.
"You cant know!" I shouted at her. "Megan they have to know" Ethan replied looking grave. "No…" I replied tears rolling down my face. He tried to wrap his arms round me but I shrugged away. "No…"
I tried to run out the room but his arms caught me into a hug before I could leave. I spasmed in shock as our skin touched and looked into his eyes full of surprise. He was it…he was the one…the one in the legend… the one who I was deeply in love with…my soul mate.
