The Impossible
Chapter Two: "Welcome To..."
A twenty-eight year old woman stared out the window, twisting a strand of her light brunette hair in her fingers. Today would begin her second year as the Headmistress of Alfea, and she knew this year was going to be harder than the previous year, and perhaps, any other year in this position. Her green eyes pierced the table in her office, where two of her teachers had sat, a young man named Kenshi, and a young lady named Veranda Lupus. There were other teachers at this school, but these three people had something in common, parts of their destinies were the same.
"Ramona, please take a seat, the two others will be here any moment," Veranda said as she pulled an orange strand of hair out back behind her ear. The lady took a seat just as Veranda had asked of her. Ramona pulled her chair closer to the table as the door of her office was pushed opened, and two men had entered. One of them was very young, younger than the average teacher at twenty-one, the other was probably the oldest in the room in his middle to late thirties. The two men took the remaining seats at the table.
"Mona," the oldest man said, "We need to make this quick before the children arrive."
"I know Gideon, and this must be Aran, correct?" Ramona's eyes fell on the twenty-one year old as Gideon nodded his head. "Nice to meet you Mr. Kili. I am Ramona Holly, but you can just call me Mona, this is Veranda Lupus, and that is Kenshi. We are very happy to meet you; I suppose Gideon has told you everything you know so far?"
Gideon nodded his head. "Yes, he knows what he is required to know."
"Very good," Kenshi commented while he took out a spiral notebook and flipped through the pages. "As we all know, there are four children arriving at our school today that have been chosen. Sadly we don't know who, and how many would be going to each school. Along with them, we know there are five other students who have the same job as us, which is to keep those four children alive and unharmed."
"Gideon, Aran," Veranda said as she looked at the two new arrivals, "we three have been doing some research, following the signs and reading the Prophecy. Decoding it is hard, but we have figured out about half of it that isn't in any language known to man. We are suspecting the five other Protectors have the gifts of insects, time and space, and the weapons of swords, pistols, and crossbows,"
"That sure narrows it down," Gideon smirked causing Mona to glare at him.
"The point of this meeting Gideon was not to joke around. It was simply to discuss about our jobs as the Protectors. The Prophecy has stated that those five teens have the gift to recognize pure evil by its smell. Why they have that gift and not us? We're not sure what makes them different from us. Gideon, since you used to be on the side of evil, you still have the stench of evil on you. If you happen to pass by any students, with that gift of weapon, or power, and they happen to feel sick around you, you might want to keep a close eye over them because those students would be the other Protectors. And we Protectors do need to keep out a sharp eye for the four Saviors, whom we don't know what powers that they have."
"You didn't tell me you were part of evil," Aran said with a slight confused look on his face. He scooted his chair a few inches away from him, his eyes filled with fear.
"Mr. Kili, there is no need for that nonsense!" Veranda replied. She didn't like bad behavior, and wasn't going to put up with it. "I'm sure Gideon would fill in the blanks for you on your way back to Red Fountain. This meeting is now closed because there will be children arriving here within the next hour."

A girl tumbled off the steps of the bus as she was pushed off by the other passengers. Her violet hair scattered across the bright green grass as her pale pink duffel bag landed on her chest.
"Sorry about that," A girl with ember brunette hair said, grabbing the girl's pink bag off of her as she helped her off the ground. She handed her the bag. "I'm Lydia, and I'm a freshman. I'm really sorry about pushing you off the bus. I was actually pushed into you by some very excited seniors."
"Oh, it's absolutely fine," the girl said, sticking her hand out. Lydia grabbed it and shook it. "I'm Aurora by the way, and I'm also a freshman."
The two girls stood together in the same line leading to the same teacher. After checking in the two were told that they would be in the same dorm room together. They both rushed through the crowded halls of Alfea until the reach Dorm 23. Aurora submitted her key into the slot and turned the knob, her eyes widen when she saw the scene inside.
The room was nice and pretty with all sorts of colors, but Aurora wasn't shocked by that. A girl with very pale skin and silver hair was sitting crissed-crossed floating in mid air about a foot off of the ground. Her eyes were gently closed as she meditated peacefully as white orbs sparkled and glittered under her. Lydia shut the door behind her, making a loud thud, causing the girl collapse and fall to the floor.
"Oops, sorry!" Aurora apologized to the fallen girl, whom she and Lydia had disturbed. "We didn't mean to interrupt your..."
"Prayer," The girl finished for Aurora as her voice was trailing off. "It's alright. I'm Avaaria, but you can call me Ava."
Ava began to extend her right hand out to shake hands with Lydia and Aurora, but stopped, they both could see the wrist had a dove tattoo printed on it. Instead of a handshake, she wrapped the two girls into a big group hug. But it wasn't just a regular hug. When the three bodies touch, a shock of energy bolted through their bodies causing the three girls to back away from each other.
"Static electricity," Ava said. "I'm sorry."
Before another response could be made, the door had opened and two more girls had entered. Both young ladies were the same height. One had dark hair, the color of black, while the other was the opposite, and had silver hair.
"You three must be the rest of our roommates, huh?" Silver hair asked. "I'm Alice Williams and this is Papillion Matheiu."
The three other girls, kindly introduced themselves to the two girls. Suitcases, duffle bags, book bags, and purses were dropped on the living room floor and the five sat on the sofas and chairs and began to get to know each other. The all agreed it was best to do that than after they get unpacked. Papillion volunteered to go first.
"I am the fairy of insects, and was born on the planet of Indra. I was abandon as a baby, left for animal food, but a nice lady found me and raised me. That's really all there is about me, nothing special."
"I'm Avaaria, but you can just call me Ava," Avaaria began. "I'm eighteen, but I didn't get held back or anything, I just couldn't attend at the appropriate age because priestess training. I am a polytheist, and I believe Celestials which are the nine gods of Windrunner. I often pray and meditate, so I'm sorry if my religion bothers any of you."
"I'm Aurora Heart, fairy of ice and love. I am the princess Arcadia. I like to play music a lot, and sort of like Ava said, I'm sorry if the sounds bother you."
"I'm Alice; I am the fairy of time and space... that's really it!"
"Alright then I guess that just leaves me... I'm Lydia, fairy of fire."

Meanwhile at Red Fountain, teenage boys were checking into the school just like what was going on at Alfea. The buses were loaded with young men and bags of clothes to make it through the semester, and school year. The campus was just as crazy and crowded as it was at Alfea.
"Last name?" Aran Kili asked the young man you approached him to check in. It was his first year at this; he was just going with the flow. The teenager that stood in front of him was going to be the first student he ever assigned a room to.
The kid ran his fingers through his Luke Bryan haircut. He was all about music, so why not have the same haircut of your favorite country artist? "Lowe."
"Luke Lowe?" Mr. Kili asked, and the boy nodded. The wheels on Aran's chair rolled as he reached for a key off one of the many key racks with many copies of different keys, spread all around the lobby of Red Fountain. "Dorm 36. Here is your key, and if you give me a second, I will have a schedule for you printed out." Mr. Kili pulled a paper from the printer, and handed it to Luke. "Have a great year! I guess I'll be seeing you in blacksmithing class this quarter!"
Luke walked away, stashing the paper into his duffel bag that hung from his hand. His eyes searched the numbers. 33, 34, 35, 36! He inserted the key into its hole and turned. His green eyes instantly found three people his age sitting in the small living room they had in the dorm. One with short and unruly brown hair reaching his chin stood, giving Luke a wry smile, as he placed his hand out in front of him. Luke placed the key in the hand with the duffel, and shook the guy's hand.
"Dariel Heartsease, you must be Luke right?" The guy asked politely pulling his hand away from Luke's. "Great, that means we are all here."
"I'm Emmett...Emmett Kates," The voice of a boy with hazel eyes and messy brunette hair reaching a little bit over his ears. Luke gave him a small smile even though Emmett didn't even bother to look up at Luke when he spoke. He seemed to be a little shy.
"Guess that just leaves me," Another boy said. He had long messy navy blue hair. "I'm Zach Milphreus."

Night had fallen over the school of Alfea. Naomi Valentina's laptop screen's light shone a dim light. She tried her best not to disturb her sleeping roommate, Sasha Lazarus. She had other roommates but their beds were placed in other rooms in the dorm. The cool September wind was blowing through the tree outside the window causing the branches to tap against the glass. It tipped and tapped.
Naomi had gotten used to the sound that she didn't bother to look up from the screen as the window creaked open and two figures entered the room.
"Having sweet dreams aren't we?" A voice of young man about twenty four years old had asked. Naomi jumped frightened, and Sasha twisted around, wakening from her slumber.
"Oh my God!" Naomi squeaked. A girl with curly, golden blonde hair shook her head.
"Not quite, guess again!"
"Who are you?" Sasha asked, the man and the girl looked at each other, and giggled.
"You'll find out soon enough." Sasha looked over to Naomi, both girls faces were filled with terror. They didn't know what was going on, or why two people were in their bedroom.
"What do you want with us?"
No spoken answer was given. Vines grew and sprouted out the window as the girl controlled their movement. She tied Sasha up tight as the man approached Naomi.
"Cherry," The girl said to the man. "Get her out of here. He will know what to do with her in Aversion." The man that who was called Cherry nodded his head. He pulled a bottle from his pocket and slammed it on the floor, grabbing Naomi with his hands. The two disappeared as the powder dust cloud from the thrown potion, cleared away.
"Where did they go?" Sasha asked. The girl still didn't answer. The vines around Sasha had grown thrones. The sharp edges cut into her right hand, carving the shape of a star. The girl released her from the vines and then disappeared out the window.
Sorry it took a while. I didn't mean to make the wait that long, but here it is! What do you think is going to happen next. Most of the characters have been introduced. Only one hasn't appeared yet which is John Walker, which he will appear in later, with in the next two chapters, so don't worry the owner of him! He will be in here soon! I just didn't have enough room to add him into this chapter. I only wanted two villains to visit the two minor characters.
So I'd like to think my reviewers, Darkblade County, Secret Dancer, Stars Magic, Paperman0, KazarinaIceAngel12, KandiTwist218, MzNIWA AMINE LOVER, and cybercorpsesnake!
