Aquaran

Chapter 3

"Aquaran! Get up we need to talk!" Hearing the squalling of her father awoke her from a wonderful dream. It started the exact same way everyday, they always had a reason to yell at her, and ruin her day.

Giving a loud sigh she rolled from her hammock feeling the cold air of the morning surround her blue and black butterfly wings. The floor was covered with moss that had a gentle dew on it. Her room was decorated with various flowers and light crystals jutting out of her rock walls. A small trickle of water fell from the ceiling landing in a gentle pool. Moving over to the pool she let the water gather in her hands feeling it run off. Water always relaxed her, it was a part of her. She watched the water move and bend with her thoughts, moving it around her body in gentle circles before dropping it on her wings. They shimmered with the new droplets reflecting the light from the crystals that adorned her room. Her blue eyes glistening like the waves of water shown down into the gentle ripples. A small rain drop adorned her forehead reminding her of the element she controlled. Smiling brightly to herself, before she was reminded by another holler from the other room that a lecture was about to begin.

She despised her family, they did nothing but create conflicts and chaos for her. She could not wait for the day that she would be able to move out on her own. Her short flowing gray dress that matched her long blond hair blew gently behind her as she moved. Her movements brought her into the kitchen looking over the scene of her parents in their usual spots at the table.

"What?" Glancing over to them she waited for their response.

"Come sit with us. We need to talk about your school work." Her father pulled out one of the chairs at the table awaiting her to sit.

Throwing her hands up in the air she glared at them in frustration. "I have been doing all of my work by my self. I have not missed one single assignment! You have no right to lecture me on my school! I can understand if I was failing classes but I am not."

"If that was what we were about to do we wouldn't have even let you sit down." Her mother yelled back. "That is not what we want to talk about. We are transferring you to a different school. I am sure you have heard at least something about it. ParaMythil Academy, a boarding school. We have a meeting with the head master today."

Smiling brightly as she knew exactly what school they were talking about. It wasn't her first choice but it would defiantly get her out of her parent's house "Your kidding! You are kidding right! So I would be living there?"

Her father sat down with a huff glaring over to her. "You could have sounded a little less enthused to be moving out."

She shook her head quickly smiling from ear to ear. "Are you kidding! I have been waiting for this! When is the meeting?"

Her mother looked away from her. "Here in a couple of hours. If you are so excited about it why don't you just go pack now!" Slamming her hand on the table enraged. "It's not like we raised you or anything! Just get out of my sight!"

Smiling brightly she pranced back into her room. Quickly pulling her bag down from one of the vine shelves she started packing. Not really caring how this meeting was going to go she knew one thing for sure. She was moving out. Her father moved into the room placing his hand on the door frame. "Aquaran, you will be going on your own, but if you leave this house now. You will not be ever coming back."

Laughing happily she glanced in his direction before continuing packing. "That's fine, If you ever need me you will know where I am." She finished grabbing most of her items before reaching for her money pouch. Pushing it quickly into the pocket of her dress she slung her bag over her shoulder. "Thank you for setting up this meeting I hope you both have a wonderful rest of your life." Quickly pushing past her father she moved to the hall way, it was the only place in the house that had enough room to create a portal out. Creating the path way out she gripped her bag tighter.

"Aquaran, you will be the ambassador for the fae community while attending this school. Please use your power correctly." Out of both of her parents it was easier to tell that her father actually cared. Nodding to him she slowly moved into the paths traveling happily though the darkness. The paths were only accessible, as well as able to be traveled by fae. If a fae were to take someone with them through the paths that was not fae they would have to remain in physical contact, or the other would be lost in the darkness of them forever. Stopping she lifted her hand to the endless darkness only to see a new portal out open up. Letting out into the bright sun shine of the morning revealed the sign and very long driveway up to the school.

The driveway was lined with tall trees that cast an over shadow over the drive. The ornate sign announcing the name of the school was decorated in beautiful vine flowers. She knew it had to be the work of a tree spirit as those flowers didn't grow to naturally. With the sound of approaching cars she quickly hid herself with in the trees. Glancing out to them she knew that it had to be more students arriving.

Smiling to herself she moved up the drive walking along the trees. Letting out into a perfect clearing where several students adorned the yard. The school looked more like a castle than a school, made of a gray stone with several statues decorating the outside. Standing just ahead of the large wooden doors was a statue of a very elegant lady. Aguaran could only imagine it to be a statue of the head master. Sitting down gently on the side of a large fountain placing her bag next to her feet.

"Now to just wait."
