When Queenie said that it was like a normal summer camp, Vanessa envisioned wooden cabins and "roughing it" in the woods. Perhaps, it was better that camp was held at the academy since Vanessa was afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes.

The gates of the arch opened and a voice from the announcer stated "Returning camp members, please go to your house table to get your dorm rooms. New camp members, please go to the administrative tables to determine your houses."

Queenie pointed Vanessa towards the administrative tables and told her to line up with the others. Queenie went into the line heading towards the table with a banner depicting a mass of fish swirling around a star. The other house tables had a banner of a lion next to the sun and an owl moon. The administrative tables weren't wooden nor did they have banners. They were normal plastic tables with the regular table cloth over it.

The sorting process reminded Vanessa of Harry Potter and military school. Even though there were more than one administrative table, the lines for each one was incredibly long. That proved that there was a huge population of witches hiding among the normal populace and that the academy was well-known. The academy did look prestigious; everyone was standing on a large expanse of space and the building looked like an ancient palace surrounded by a garden of multicolored flowers. It was a good thing that camp was free of charge; it must be expensive to attend the academy thought Vanessa.

The atmosphere was like that of students waiting to get into their class or the line to check your passport before getting on the plane. Everyone was keeping occupied by looking at their phones. It was eerily quiet except for the few conversations within the line. Vanessa didn't bother to pull out her phone or her iPod since they were carefully stuffed away in her backpack. Plus, bringing out her phone would only make her painfully ponder over whether her adventure really existed in the first place.

Vanessa just stared into space and continued to move when the line did. It was difficult to daydream when things were so boring. But if she had allowed her mind to wander, she would've thought about the time she spent with Inuyasha all over again. After what seemed like a very, very long time, it was finally Vanessa's turn at the administrative table.

The woman told her to touch the clear seed crystal on the table. Vanessa touched it and it slowly began to turn a pale shade of red. The woman told her "Alright Ms. Nguyen, you're in the House of Leo, go line up over there so you can get your dorm room."

"Huh? Um, there must be a mistake. My father has a defensive power and my mother has a supportive power."

The woman gently replied "Well Ms. Nguyen, powers aren't always inherited directly from our parents. Plus, this crystal is not cracked so there shouldn't be any mistakes. If you're still concerned there will be a more thorough power screening later. Now, please move along otherwise you'll hold up the line."

The woman gave Vanessa an origami butterfly and instructed her to throw it in the air and follow it. The butterfly caught the air and started to flap its wings as if it was alive. It led Vanessa into the academy building and down the halls. While following the butterfly, Vanessa saw other origami creatures in the air and on the ground. She let out a shriek because she was close to stepping on an origami turtle. The experience was hair-raising as the origami creatures were a culminating mass wherever she went. She was all too relieved when her origami butterfly finally stopped on a doorplate.

"Room 708. Why does that sound familiar?~" thought Vanessa.

She opened the door and found that the room was already occupied with four people sorting their luggage. Vanessa wondered why was she the last to arrive and why were there four people. Was the butterfly mistaken? Suddenly a tan Asian girl spoke up "Oh, so you're the fourth chick."

Vanessa said out loud "Fourth? I thought my butterfly made a mistake or something."

"Nah, that blondie's just in here cuz' Angel's her friend." She said pointing to a Filipino girl.

"Oh~ So which bed is mine?"

"You're with me. I'm claiming the top bed."

Fortunately, it seemed that the girl had chosen the bunkbed next to the restroom.

"Ok. Thanks…"

Upon closer inspection, the girl was extremely beautiful in an intimidating way. Her long black hair was sleek and straight. She wore three ring earrings on one ear, one ring earring on the other, a crop top which revealed her pierced belly button, and an arm filled with multiple tattoos. She was also chewing pink gum with an attitude the entire time she spoke to Vanessa.

Vanessa was taken back by the girl's revealing thin belly and her tattoos! Was she a gangster? (Please forgive our main character's narrow-minded thinking.)

"Name's Miranda. You?"

"V-Vanessa."

A voice spoke up from behind Vanessa "My name's Agnes."

"Eek!" Vanessa did not like unexpected sounds and even worse, it seemed that Agnes was glaring at her?

Luckily, she heard the K-pop song call from her backpack. With the speed of light, she unzipped her phone out and locked herself in the restroom.

Afterwards, Miranda said "Agnes, just get your glasses already."

Meanwhile in the restroom Vanessa said "A-Alo?"

"Where are you?" It was Queenie! She had been saved by the bell or technically ringtone in this case.

"I-I'm in the Leo dorm…"

"What? How?"

"I don't know either. The crystal turned red and the lady said I'm in the Leo house and that there's no mistake."

"Ok calm down and tell me what room you're in."

"Room 708."

"I'll be right there."

After a while, there was a firm knocking on the door and Miranda opened it on her side.

Vanessa's double was at the door but with a stern expression and longer hair?

"V-Vanessa? How did you get over there, you were just in the bathroom…?"

"I'm not Vanessa, I'm her cousin. Can you let me in?"

"Oh…Oh…Oh sh*t. You guys sure look alike. Like… You could be twins."

"Nope."

Queenie thought to herself "How do people mistake me for her when we look so different?"

Miranda said, "She's been in the bathroom for a while now."

"Ok thanks. Um, can I go in?"

"Sure." Miranda replied, stepping back from the door to lean on the wall.

Queenie squinted her eyes in annoyance at Miranda's attitude. In typical old-fashioned Asian style, Queenie gave a little nod then walked towards the bathroom door and knocked on it.

"Vanessa, it's me."

Vanessa simply opened the door and she walked in.
