Please R&R
It was so beautiful here.
The sun was shining and a warm breeze was floating. I was sitting on the warm ground looking around. Every single spot of the ground was covered in pale blue
flowers and green grass. It was so peaceful. I closed my eyes inhaling the sweet scent of the flowers and listening to the relaxing song the birds were singing.
Suddenly I felt a presence coming closer. I opened my eyes and I was surprised to see Dean standing only a few steps away from me. It was a strange contrast
between him and the landscape with his black clothes and hair,pale skin and dark blue eyes. Just like the night in the middle of the day. He stood there a little
looking around with a calm expression and then he came to sit next to me on the ground. He turned his gaze to me and said:
"Wake up! We're here!"
Then I woke up.
I was still in my seat in the plane. Apparently I had fallen asleep. The only real thing from the dream was that someone was telling me to wake up, even if
that was not Dean, but a very excited Will. I quickly glanced around and saw that the plane was no longer flying. I sighed, took my backpack and went
toward the door. Outside was cold, for a human, but nothing a vampire couldn't handle with a T-shirt on. Some more guardians arrived there and I think
they were waiting for us. Dean quickly approached us.
"Well, I see everybody's ready to go. Will, Sarah, welcome to Palmer,Alaska." He said.
After that we started heading toward the campus. We were welcomed by a huge gate with the symbol of the Academy and another guardians. When
they saw Dean they're eyes widened and then two of them quickly opened the gate. Again, I was feeling that fear for my mentor. He was respected and
feared because of his power and I was nothing compared to him. Behind the gate was a very big and beautiful building that looked like a castle. After I
took one step forward I realized that the campus had a lot of buildings, most of them big and ancient looking. I was feeling so little compared to each
building, just like a bug. Well, I think I was a bug. A little, clumsy and scared bug that wanted nothing more than to run back home and to its mommy. I
was just a five years old,this was the most exclusiviste Academy and I was sure that after a week of satying here I will be dead. Probably this was the
reason why my dear father sent me here- to die. I was okay with it, but I didn't want Will to die too. He had no fault, he was just a good brother for
coming with me. As we started walking toward the first building I saw people moving around. They were from all species,colors and ages ,the only
similarity were the colors of they're outfits. Most of them were dressed in black and grey but some had dark shades of blue, purple, red and even pink in
their outfits. As I looked closer I saw some symbols sewn on their shirts, T-shirts etc. Every single person turned to stare at us like we had three heads. I
remarked that the campus had some buildings marked with the symbols I had seen on student's shirts. I was really curious why. I quickly glanced to Will,
and was a little surprised to see my emotions reflected on his face, curiosity and fear , only mixed with his characteristic energy and impatience. I thought
he really wanted to prove himself here,to show the others his power. He always wanted to be the best. I decided that, for the first time in my life, I
wanted that too. I was not going to survive here if I would just lock myself in a room and cry. I had to be strong and to remember Dean's words:
Everything will be alright ,You have an extraordinary power and I can already tell that you will be one of the greatest students. Maybe he was right.
I hadn't yet realized that while I was encouraging myself we had entered in the building. There was a large hall which had in the end a door. The
guardians that came with us stopped in the hall while Dean reached the door. He opened it and made a sign for us to enter. I took a reluctant step while
my brother sprinted through the entrance. When I finally reached the entrance I looked up to Dean and he gave me an encouraging smile. Even with his
smile he still seemed a little sad. It was the same pain in his eyes I had seen on my mother's face when she told us about him. I was even more intrigued
to find out what they had in common, because it was obvious that they shared a past. I sighed, decided that I will find out later, and took the last step
necessary to enter the room. The office was huge. I was expecting it to have the same ancient look like the building, but the inside was very modern, with
a sofa, chairs , small tables and a lot of book shelves that instantly reminded me of the library incident. I swallowed heavily fearing that it would repeat,
then I remembered that I had nothing to worry about. In fact, a Legendar was here and it will be easy for him to control every outburst of my power. I
was sure that Dean could save everybody if something was going to happen because ha had already saved me and Will. Not to mention the other
guardians plus the other personsm present in the office. I had forgotten to mention to mention that in the middle of the room was a big wooden desk
with a girl standing behind it. I was 99% sure that she was a fairy because of her long pale blond hair, pale skin and beautiful purple eyes. The purple
color of the eyes was a distinctive sign for fairies, almost all of them had it. When she saw us she stood up and smiled a warm and welcoming smile. I
was always told that fairies were beautiful, but I really never expected them to be like this. She was like those princesses that is always described in
tales. Only that she was not wearing a long pink dress and crown, but some black jeans and a dark purple shirt with a little silver symbol sewn on the
right. The symbol was a silver lily with two leafs that encircled it. The girl looked around fourteen or maybe fifteen. She looked a little emotioned and I
saw her cheeks turn a pale pink.
"Hello Hannah, I see that Director Rosales gave you paperwork again." Said Dean with an amused expression.
"Hello guardian Tanner and yes, I have to sort students files in alphabetic order. " The fairy (a.k.a Hannah) said and then sighed. "At least this time she
promised me that she will give me some points." She continuated.
"Speaking of Miss Rosales, do you have any idea where is she now? She was supposed to be here when the two new students arrive." Asked Dean.
"Right now she has a council meeting but she said that you have to wait here if you arrive meanwhile,sir." Hannah replied.
"Typical Rosales… And I thought I had already told you to call me Dean. " Dean sighed and then landed lazily on the sofa.
"I am sorry sir, I mean Dean." She blushed. It was obvious that she had a crush on him. I bet every girl in this school had. After that Hannah turned her
attention toward me and my brother.
"Hi! You must be the new students. Come, take a seat. Guardian Carter will come here with Director Rosales after the meeting is over. Do you want
something to eat ro drink? " She seemed nice.
"Hello , my name is William, nice to meet you, and I would really like a soda please." Will said with a huge smile on his face.
"Nice to meet you too." She giggled. "And you?"
"I'm Sarah,nice to meet you, and I want a soda too please." I said. My voice was trembling.
"Nice to meet you too Sarah. Dean, anything for you? " She said.
"No, thank you Hannah, I am fine." He answered.
After that she nodded and went out of the room to get our sodas. As she opened the door I took a quick glance from the hall. The guardians were still
there. It was probably some kind of rule because I don't think we really needed them when Dean was here. I turned my stare toward him. He was still
sitting on the sofa looking around. Even if there was no danger around he seemed tensed, ready to attack. He actually reminded me a lot of a cobra
snake preparing to jump and bite. I was starting to worship Dean just like Will did. Of course I was still feeling fear toward him but I was starting to look
at him as my life model. I wanted to be just like him when I was going to grow up. I was not stupid enough to think that I was really going to be a
Legendar, but I still wanted to be respected and to make people see that I was blessed , not cursed. I smiled a little but it quickly fell when I saw where
my brother was staying. He was jumping around the book shelves trying to read a volume's title.
"Hey sis! Look at this one. It's so old that I can't even read the title!" Will exclaimed.
"Please go away from the shelves, I don't want something bad to happen again." I pleaded. Of course not the shelves represented the danger. I was
the danger.
"Relax! Dean's here." My dumb brother answered.
I was panicked and angered. I couldn't believe that he was acting so childish, and I was the five year old. My anger grew as I saw that he was laughing
and jumping even closer to the shelves. Typical him. And Dean was just standing on the sofa watching. Then I realized that my anger will soon cause
some damage if I will not control it. The realization was not helpful because it grew my panick. Then in a flash Dean was standing in front of me. He
lowered himself in one fluid motion to look in my eyes. His speed shocked me. I had never seen any immortal moving that fast. His eyes seemed a little
lighter when I looked in them. They sparkled with sapphire energy in a complicated radiant structure.
"Sarah, calm down, remember your dream and how peaceful it was." His voice was deep and low.
Then my eyes widened. My dream. The dream I had in the plane. But how that he knew about it? I quickly ignored my questions,closed my eyes and
started thinking about my dream. I remembered the warm breeze, blue flowers, green grass and the relaxing song of the birds. I was surprised to see
that it had really worked. When I opened my eyes I felt calm and relaxed. Dean was still looking at me and had a warm smile on his face. I smiled back.
Will had stopped jumping and was watching our wordless conversation with confused eyes. I knew from the smile and look on Dean's face that he was
proud. He was proud of me because I had calmed down. I was proud of myself too and my smile grew wider.
Suddenly the door opened and Hannah entered with the sodas. She gave us an apologetically smile and then said:
"Sorry it took so long but the bar was crowded."
She gave us our sodas and we sat on the chairs. She came to sit with us. Will and I stayed in silence listening to
Hannah and Dean who were talking about what happened while he was at our house. Appearently the Academy was
really quiet and nothing special happened. Even if Hannah was blushing and stuttering Dean seemed unaware of her feelings for him. Maybe he was
aware but he was not interested. Poor girl, even if I had no idea what romance meant (because I was five), I learned that to love someone who doesn't
love you too it's painful from my father. I sighed and decided that it was a good moment to think about my questions. I had millions so I thought that I
had to sort them in an priority top.
First, how is it that Dean knew about my dream?
Second, what do that symbols mean?
Third, when is that council meeting going to stop?
Just as I started thinking about the next question the door opened and two women entered. Judging after the looks of the first she was probably a
witch. She had long black hair that was tied in a twist and stunning hazel eyes that contrasted with her pale skin. She was wearing a knee length black
dress with a navy blue cardigan , a pair of black stilettos and a confident expression. The woman beside her was a vampire with long red hair and pale
blue eyes. She was even more beautiful than Hannah. She was tall,slender and graceful and was wearing a pair of black jeans, long sleeved dark crimson
shirt and high black heeles.
"Finally, I was just thinking to go and throw you out of the conference room Lorraine." Dean said.
"Nice to see you too, Dean." Said the witch who appearently was named Lorraine. She went to the desk and sat.
"So, William and Sarah, welcome to Y.T.S. Academy. I am Director Lorraine Rosales and I am here to help you. You had already met guardian Dean
Tanner. He will be your mentor Sarah." Then she pointed toward the other woman and said "She is guardian Dawn Carter and she will be your mentor
William. " I felt a smile forming on my lips as I saw my brother's shocked expression. Dawn was definitely not a granny. I thought that young supermodel
will fit her better. She smiled too when she saw Will's funny expression and I heard Lorraine clearing her throat. Our attention turned toward her.
"Well, now that you know each other, I would like to explain how things work here. Unfortunately, you two will have to stay in separated dorms. Your
personal things are already setteled in each room and you have your uniforms and books there too. Dean and Dawn will give you your schedule and
school rules. Sarah, your dorm is in building C room 203. Will, you have room 234 in building E. You can go now."
She gave us the keys for our room and we went separated ways toward each building. I was upset that I had to stay in a separate room from Will's but I
knew that it was not my decision. Dean guided me toward a building with a symbol painted on it. The symbol was a big silvery pair of angel wings. Those
symbols were really confusing. The first room in the building was some kind of a living room. It was huge and had four TV's , three tables and a lot of
sofas and armchairs. Everything was decorated in pale green and purple and looked really nice. I saw girls around my age watching TV, eating popcorn,
reading books and doing other things. They all stopped to stare at me and Dean as we crossed the room. I was starting to feel really weird so I looked
down and continuated to walk. After what seemed like an eternity we stopped in front of a door with 203 written on it. Dean unlocked the door and
motioned for me to enter. I enterded and looked around. The room was decorated in peachy pink and had two
normals beds. There was a desk and a book shelve too and I saw my drawings, books and pictures. It was a really cute room.
"Why are here two beds?" I asked Dean.
"One is yours and the other is your roommate's." He answered.
"Who is my roommate?" I asked. I had no idea that I was going to have a roommate.
"Me." Answered a girly voice from the door.
I turned to see the newcomer. A girl who looked around six was standing in the doorway. She was petite, had short curly auburn hair and blue eyes.
"Hi! I'm Kate. You're Sarah, I know. I'm so happy that you're finally here!" She looked really excited.
"Hi." I said.
"Well, I think that you will get along. Sarah, if you need me, use this." Dean said. Then he gave me a silver bracelet. He took my wrist and tied the
bracelet around it. I looked at it and saw the same angel wings engraved on it.
"How can I use it?" I asked.
"Mentors use those bracelets to know where they're students are. The bracelet is able to sense if you have strong emotions like fear or happiness and if
you're in danger. If you just need to talk to me put a drop of blood on the wings. "
Kate balanced playfully her wrist and I saw a similar bracelet on it. She smiled then.
"I will let you two talk. After that you have to come in the living room and let me introduce you to some girls. It's an order." Then she giggled and left the
room. Her smile and crazy attitude reminded me of William. I had a feeling that they were going to be good friends. I then realized that I was alone with
Dean and took the opportunity to ask him my questions.
"What do those symbols mean?" I asked.
"Good question. Your symbol is a pair of angel wings. The wings are the symbol for the first grade. They represent the beginning of a long road." He
answered.
"And Hannah's?" I asked.
"Hannah is in the ninth grade, her's is a lily. Students in the ninth grade have the lily to represent they're blossoming from children to teenagers." He
said.
"How beautiful." I said and then blushed a little.
"Yes. It is. Well honey, if you don't have any other questions, I think that it will be better for both of us if you will go in the living room before Katherine
comes here to kill me for retaining you." He said and then winked to me. He took my silence as a finish and started heading toward the door. Just as he
opened the door to step out of the room I realized that I had forgot the most important question.
"How is it that you knew about my dream?" I asked.
He smiled a crooked smile and winked again before he went out. I frowned and then sighed. Maybe it was some kind of lesson only teachers had to
know. I looked around one more time and then leaved. As I entered the living room I saw that the girls were standing in small groups. In the middle of
the room were standing three girls looking through some magazines. They were the first thing I had remarked because of they're beauty and the other
girls standing around them with worshipping expressoins. The one in the middle of them was more beautiful than the others. She looked like a small
version of Hannah. She had the same eyes and hair colors as Hannah only that her hair was straight while Hannah's was curly. But the biggest contrast
between her and Hannah was the expression on her face. Hannah seemed friendly, kind and shy while this girl's expression was superior, proud and
confident. The other girls were eclipsed. When she saw me starring her selfish smile vanished and a frown formed on her face. I quickly turned my gaze in
another direction and I saw Kate and another two girls watching TV and eating popcorn. Kate motioned for me to come to her. I went there and sat down
on the floor next to her.
"Glad you're here." She said and then motioned toward one of the girls who were standing with her.
"This is Rose. She's a vampire." She said. Rose was a small girl with short brown hair and hazel eyes. Her smile was beautiful and warm. Then Kate
pointed toward the other girl. "And this is Jennifer, a fairy." The other girl was very beautiful but not just as beautiful as Hannah or Mini Hannah. This girl
had curly sandy hair and purple eyes.
"What are you?" Asked Jennifer with a friendly smile.
"A vampire." I said.
"See, I told you." Said Kate with her mouth full of popcorn. I started laughing along with Rose and Jennifer.
"My mistake." Sighed Jennifer.
"What are you Kate? I tried to figure out but I really have no idea." I asked.
Kate opened her mouth but Rose cut her.
"She, my dear Sarah, is a little pig." She said. I laughed again.
"Ha ha! Very funny." Mocked Kate. "I am a witch." She said and then took a fist full of popcorn and ate it.
"Who is that girl?" I asked pointing toward Mini Hannah. Kate started complaining:
"That is the most horrible person alive. The Devil with blond hair and pink princess dress. The selfishness…"
"Yeah, yeah we got it she'bad. She's Christina, the school's Barbie doll. " Cut Rose.
"She reminds me a lot of Hannah, a girl in the ninth grade." I said.
"Maybe because Christina is Hannah's little sister." Kate giggled.
"Really? They seem so different." I replied.
"They are poles apart in personality. Hannah is kind and caring while Devil Barbie is bad, selfish, rude… "
"Kate, don't start again." Threathened Rose. Kate rolled her eyes.
After that we started talking about other things like movies, books, school, family and ourselves. Appearantly Jennifer had the ability to control the earth,
Rose could control the weather and Kate was already a beginner in spells because of her strong aura. What surprised me was that Christina gave me the
dead eye because before I came here she was considered the student with the biggest potential. Appearantly now, because of my power, I was that
student. Christina had the ability of compulsion; she could make you do whatever she wanted to do. Speaking of powers, mine was giving me a
headache and this was the sign that I had already started to copy gifts from the others. Great, other powers to deal with. Tomorrow I would have to deal
with every talent any student I had made visual contact had. Well at least I already had Jennifer's and Rose's power. I had a feeling that Christina's
would give me something to deal with. I decided that tomorrow was tomorrow and today was today so I changed the subject. I was surprised when the
building's door opened and Dawn entered. When she saw that some of the girls were still chatting she whisteled wich was really funny. Once again I was
stunned by her beauty. She was still wearing the same clothes from when we had met her only that her red hair was tied. Every person in this school
was beautiful but she outshone everyone. When everyone turned they're attention toward her she smiled and said:
"Time to go to bed princesses." Her voice was just as beautiful as her.
Kate and I went to our room. We talked a little more and at the end of the night we were best friends. I went to bed and I realized how tired I was only
when I had fallen asleep.
