Chapter 10

Annie POV

Now I am about to walk through a portal to the magic dimension and I am so scared. First I found out that my parents weren't actually my parents and then found out that I was technically dead. It has been a very eventful day for me. My 'dad still hadn't returned home so my 'mum' said she would wait for him and that I should go with Faragonda and Saladin. I looked at the portal for a while and was a lot more scared than I was when I walked through last time. Last time it might just have been the curiosity overpowering the nerves but right then I couldn't bring myself to walk through the portal.

'Annie it's okay it won't hurt you and Saladin is in front of you and I am right behind.'

That reassured me a little but not a lot so I consciously stepped through the portal which held the world on the other side where I would await my fate. I know I made it sound like I had done something wrong and I was going to trial but it somehow fits the situation.

I walked through and when I came out the other end I saw a place that looked like it belonged in a futuristic movie. There were hovercraft cars and I swear I saw a girl's clothes change in a flash of light through a window.

'Ahhh the perks of having magic. It's different to earth isn't it?'

I just nodded; I was in shock at the difference of here to 'home.' The thing that looked remotely similar to home was the telephone box down the street.

'Annie we are going to take you to the angels now. We can't actually go up with you but you'll be safe and sound up there. You will stay there for a bit while we decide what to do about your education.'

'Who is we?' I wanted to know who would be deciding what would happen to me on this planet.

'Us, some other headmasters and headmistresses and Magix Council.'

Finally all I saw was a bright light and I was transported to 'The City of Angels.' There I was greeted by a man in a white shirt and tie, white trousers and white dress shoes.

'Hello,' he said, 'My name is Jonathon and you must be Annie.'

'Yes,' I said. I felt like running away.

'May I ask how old you are Annie?'

'I am 13 years old.'

He got out a notepad and pen and wrote down my name and age; I had a feeling that he was going to ask me a lot more questions.

'Let's go to my office and I will ask you some questions.'

I followed him to his office and when we got there he motioned for me to sit in a white plush chair. Even though everything here was white I kind of liked it.

'So Annie, where have you been living the past 13 years?'

'Earth.' I stated quite matter-of-factly.

'With whom did you live on earth?'

'My 'mum',' I put finger quotes around the word mum seeing as she wasn't actually my mother, 'and my 'dad'.'

'Okay then, just one last question, who sent you up here to the city of angels?'

'The headmistress of Alfea, Ms. Faragonda, and Professor Saladin.'

'Thank you for your time,' he said and then he pressed a button and spoke into a microphone. 'Can Olivia S please come to the Head's office, thank you,' sounded all around me and I realised that it was a speaker; soon enough a young girl who looked about my age walked through the door.

'You wanted to see me sir?' she said; she was wearing a white layered skirt with a white t-shirt tucked into the skirt and a white cardigan. She was wearing the cutest white pumps which were the cleanest shoes I had ever seen on anyone apart from those of which the 'Head' was wearing.

'Please could you look after Annie for me? She is new to the city and needs a little help finding her way around. Please could you help her?'

'Of course sir, Annie please follow me.'

I waved goodbye to Jonathon and walked up to Olivia. She smiled at me and she walked slightly ahead.

'So, you're Olivia right?'

'Yes, I am and you are Annie.'

'Yep.' I said popping the 'p', I didn't really know what to say and an awkward silence filled the space.

'So,' I started, 'what do you do up here?' I didn't really know what to say and that was the first thing that popped into my head.

'Whatever we want; we are just like normal people but always dressed in white. I tell you what, we have to get you out of these coloured clothes, I am going to take you shopping.'

'That's awfully kind of you but I don't have any money.' I didn't think to take anything with me after I left the house so I don't have anything.

'Don't worry, we don't need money, up here you don't have money. All we do is go into the store, pick up the things we like, we try them on and then everything gets sent to our rooms. So we aren't really shopping we're finding.'

'Wow, this just got a lot better, I never would have imagined not paying for something.'

'Well you better believe it, now what would you prefer, a skirt, a dress, trousers? Do you want pumps, heels any accessories? How about a coat or cardigan?'

'You really like 'finding' don't you?'

'No put we have to get you all new clothes belongings and they all have to be white so we have to get it done at some point so why not now? So then let's go!'

The first store we went into had lots of clothes in it and Olivia told me to pick an outfit to change into now so I settled on some cropped white leggings and a long white vest top that went out a bit at the end. I bought some white flats; I wanted to be as comfortable as possible as I thought this day would be a very long one. Then I got a bunch of other clothes which were sent to where I would be staying. I wasn't really sure how the shop owners knew where I was staying and I didn't but I put that out of my mind. After that Olivia took me to a place with lots of girls hanging around it. When I walked in it looked exactly like hotel but in all white with the odd silver candle sticks and glass and silver chandelier here or there. We started to walk up to the reception desk when Olivia turned to face me.

'This is where all the younger angels stay. The girls and boys that live here are aged between 12 and 18. Most of the girls are really nice but it is a bit like school so we have the smart girls, the fashion girls and the popular girls who think they are the best angels ever when actually they are quite weak and then there is us the angels that everyone underestimates. So let's get you up to your room and don't worry nobody has to share.'

We walked up to the lady at the desk.

'Hello, do you two girls need something?'

'Yes actually my friend here is new and she needs to find her room.'

'Can you help me?'

'Of course I can just give me your name, date of birth and date of death and I can give you your room number.'

'Okay my name is Annie, I was born on the 15th of August 1999 and I don't really know when I died but I was told I was about 3 weeks old.'

'Yes you were. You died on the 5th of September 1999. You were exactly 3 weeks old. Okay well your room number is in this little pack along with 2 keys. Have a good day.'

Gosh it even sounded like a hotel here. Olivia led me to a bench and we sat down to open my pack. I pulled out a piece of paper that said I was on the top floor, floor 27. Olivia smiled at me and I gave her a puzzled look.

'There is only one room on floor 27 and it is yours. I have never been higher than floor 16 which is my floor.'

So we ran to the elevator as fast as we could and pressed the button that would bring us to floor 27.

'Insert key please,' we heard a voice over say in the elevator and I so I took one of the keys out of the pack and inserted it into a small slot. A green light flashed and the elevator started to go up. Then it stopped and the voice over said, 'please remove card.'

The elevator doors opened and we walked right into the living room.

'I thought my room was big but yours is huge!'

Olivia was mesmerised by the room and I was shocked. Is this really mine or has the woman at the desk made a mistake. So I sat on the floor and opened my pack. I gestured for Olivia to come over and sit down with me. I pulled out a letter addressed to me inside. I opened it and read it through. The basic of what was inside was that because I was a powerful angel/fairy and that meant I had a bigger room. I didn't like being given special treatment but I couldn't do anything about it. I handed the letter to Olivia and she read it through.

'Let's go check out the rest of the place and see what we have to get.' So we walked around a bit and saw that there was a bedroom which had all the clothes I found there and had a massive en suite bathroom. There was another massive room which I knew exactly what to do with and obviously the living room. It had a balcony looking over the whole city and when I walked round the side I saw something I didn't expect to see.

'Olivia you have to see this!' I shouted and soon enough Olivia came running round the corner.

'Oh my goodness, you have a swimming pool! This is a mint crib Annie!'

'Shall we go and get some furniture?' I asked.

'Hell yeah!' She said.

I was going to have fun with this.
