Vanessa cheerfully said "See, I told you, I can move objects with my mind! And what's going here, how can Dad float in mid-air?"

Floating in mid-air, her father answered "Yeah! I also have magic!"

While Vanessa's father started lowering himself down, her mother said "I think it's time for you to know the truth...Me and your father, our families each have a special power. We are witches."

Vanessa said out loud "So I was right, but then again, Luna did confirm that I was a witch."

Annie asked, "Who is this Luna you're talking about?"

Vanessa replied "Ah, Luna is a black cat who knows how to talk. I already said it before, she's a witch's cat."

Her mother voiced her frustration that she was still going on about nonsense while Vanessa emotionally exclaimed that she was telling the truth. She left the kitchen to get her phone then she pointed to the app "Portal to Other Worlds."

"Here, I'll show you." She tapped on the icon but nothing happened.

Annie asked Vanessa to hand over the phone. She tapped it as well but nothing happened. She then asked Vanessa why she would download such an app and a useless one at that. Vanessa protested that she didn't and that it came out of nowhere. Everybody fell silent once again until her mother spoke up "Queenie, read her mind and see what's going on."

Vanessa felt goose bumps come out on her arm as if she was exposed to the world. She quickly jerked her head towards her cousin against her will and saw that her cousin's eyes appeared to be glowing underneath her glasses and Vanessa felt like her eyes appeared to be sharper than usual. Everything that happened to her rushed through her mind like she was watching a movie. This only lasted for a split second and she felt the warmth rush back to her body once again. She was in a daze but she was able to hear Queenie murmur.

Queenie repeated what she said in a more clearer tone "She really is telling the truth. But...everything happened when she was sitting in a corner, charging her phone. "

Annie exclaimed loudly "So everything happened in your imaginary world!" then she went in thought for a moment then continued speaking "Wait...The app suddenly out of nowhere and you sit all yourself and a crazy story is a memory in your head...I think I heard about this type of thing before...Ah! I learned about it in school, it's a power called thought projection. You altered reality with your imagination. Luckily, you're not so powerful enough to make yourself stuck in your imaginary world."

Vanessa argued that she was never able to daydream a detailed plot with an actual ending and that everyone saw her move the chair. Annie retorted that Vanessa had to concentrate so hard to make the chair move so her power couldn't have been telekinesis. That made Vanessa completely disillusioned and stop arguing. She felt confused and now the app wasn't working, maybe her cousin was right, maybe she dreamt it all up...

~The Next Morning~

Vanessa barely awoke from her sleep when her mother entered her room and announced, "You should pack your bags, next Monday, you're going to the MBC hosted by the MBA."

"What? ~ I'm going back to college?... Mom, I just finished my first year and you're sending me back? This is summer...I don't want to study business yet... Are you trying to make me graduate quickly?..."

"So much noise in the morning..." complained her cousin lying in bed next to her. She continued speaking "No... This MBA stands for Magical Baculus Academy and MBC is the school's camp." she stressed the word camp while covering herself with a blanket.

"Oh~..." Vanessa reluctantly got out of bed since she liked to spend as much of her day as she possibly could. No matter what she did that weekend, thoughts of what she went through being dismissed as simply a figment of her imagination and whether her power was telekinesis or thought projection continued to haunt her. These thoughts came so often that she didn't bother to ask what powers her other family members had. Even if she forgot them for a moment while watching T.V. or doing some other activity, those thoughts would just randomly pop up.

~Monday Morning~

In the very early morning, at the time sunlight had not even touched the earth. Two silhouetted figures were walking out of one house, carrying two huge bags of luggage. They were walking quickly but silently towards the sidewalk then a fog appeared out of nowhere, covering a huge vehicle. The two figures slowly approached the fog. Before they got any closer, they looked back to see a mass of shadowy figures were peering from a curtain, waving and encouraging them to go on. They walked up and faded into the fog.

The short-haired individual sat down on the seat with a slump. She looked around at what seemed to be the inside of a bus. She then redirected her attention to her long-haired companion.

"So, what's camp gonna be like, Queenie?"

"It's...similar to a normal summer camp but with additional things. Remember Harry Potter? We have three houses. One is the House of Leo, which is for witches with active powers, second, the House of Owlune is for the defensive type, and last is the House of Pisces, that's the house I'm in, it's for those with supportive powers."

"Being grouped into different schools makes me think of military school all over again. Except we were put into companies, not houses." thought Vanessa.

"Supportive powers? Um... Don't you have that special sight or something like that?"

"Sight? No~, it's actually mind reading." Queenie replied with a matter-of-fact tone.

Vanessa then got quiet for a moment because she remembered how her cousin's ability caused her to have goosebumps. Then she got even more uneasy because she recalled how her cousin seemed to anticipate the grown-up's commands before they said anything and plus if her cousin could read her mind... She would hear all the personal stuff she was thinking about! Eek!

Queenie gritted her teeth then injected "Stop thinking too much, it's giving me a headache!"

Vanessa turned red. Oh sh*t. Queenie probably saw all her personal thoughts before, how embarrassing. ~ (_)

Queenie once reminded her to stop thinking so much since she needed to save her energy for what was coming next. Vanessa then replied "THEN STOP READING MY MIND. I have a right to privacy plus I can't stop thinking... Also, what's coming up next?" she asked in a sheepish tone.

Queenie smirked "You will find out soon." She continued while leaning her head closer to Vanessa, "Now, shut your mind down, be ready, and Don't Shout at All. You hear me?"

Vanessa shoved Queenie back and said "Fine..." Vanessa stayed quiet for awhile before she gave into curiosity and started to open her mouth "Wha..." Right at that moment, the vehicle headed toward a portal which appeared out of nowhere, at the end of the street. Once its head barely touched the green glow outside of the portal, the bus got sucked in and the people inside felt like they were on a roller coaster with twice the speed.

Vanessa felt very uncomfortable, her body felt like it was glued to the chair with this speed, and instinctually let out a scream. She tried to open her eyes and saw that beside her - Queenie was acting normal, she even smirked at her. Angrily, Vanessa pushed her body forward and she suddenly felt normal again. She looked around her and saw that nothing was happening, then heard giggling next to her. Vanessa shook Queenie by the shoulders back and forth forcefully, said "Why didn't you tell me?! That scared the hell outta me!"

"Simple, it's much more funny this way." Queenie answered while laughing.

Vanessa gave her cousin an irritated expression then closed her eyes to rest. It had been an early morning and the surprise had exhausted her out as well. She fell asleep and the next time she opened her eyes, they were already at the camp.

She woke up, still groggy, reluctantly led off the bus with her cousin holding her stuff. Later, she found herself standing in front of an arch that reminded her of the palaces in ancient times. It really was kind of like being at Hogwarts except that this academy had three names, was actually real, and located in America...
