Chapter 1: A little about a small problem
"Shut up you idiot!" a small pale girl with deep blue eyes like the sea eyes and long dark
hair that ran down to the base of her back yelled at a boy with the same eyes and the same
jet black as she threw a giant pillow in his direction.
"Ha! You missed" he yelled back at her.
"Leave me alone and let me pack or I shall disown you!" she threatened him.
"Oh, that would be the most terrible thing in the whole world now wouldn't it," he said sarcastically.
He dashed through the door laughing as she chucked yet another pillow at him. The girl then threw herself on her bed in the middle of the just folded pile of clothes and grunted in frustration. She stared at the ceiling for a while, and then arose to turn up her stereo. She fiddled with the dial until it was as loud as possible and began yelling the lyrics of the song.
Suddenly a tall woman entered the room and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Turn the music down Eden!!!"
"What?" asked Eden pleasantly.
The tall woman walked over to the outlet in the wall into which Eden's stereo was plugged, and pulled the cord out. The music was cut off and the room was abruptly and filled with an angry silence.
"What did you do that for? That's one of my favorite songs!" yelled Eden angrily at LisBETH, her adopted mother.
She had never called her mother because she had never seen her as a good substitute to her real mother. Her real name was Elizabeth, but her brother and herself never called her that because when her father had first introduced them to their third surrogate mother, he said her name like Lizbeth. Unfortunately, it came out like LizBETH, so that had been her name ever since.
"I can only stand so much screaming people and loud electric guitars in one house," she answered matter-of-factly.
"Number one, they aren't screaming, they are singing and number two, that is an example of true musical talent, old goat," stated Eden, personally insulted by LizBETH's rude comment. What does she know about my life? Nothing, that's what! She just likes to think she knows something, but she knows nothing, she thought angrily.
"Now have you finished packing for school?" LizBETH asked, changing the subject, something she always did when she didn't know how to respond to something her husband's rebellious children had said.
"No," she answered. "Thorn was being the little pain in the ass that he always is so I was busy shooing him from my room if that's okay with you, your Highness."
"Your cheek is not appreciated," LizBETH responded annoyed. "Now finish packing; we're leaving for London tomorrow." And with that, she shut the door sharply.
"Mother fucking bitch," said Eden contemptuously.
She returned to her packing with many thoughts that the old cow had just brought to her attention. Eden and her twin brother Thorn had been changing wizarding boarding schools every year for the past six years and had hated it the whole way. She was glad that this was the last time it would be happening, unless I screw up again and let our secret out, she thought to herself. That had happened two years ago and they had had to transfer in the middle of the year because of it. You see, Eden and her brother Thorn had a secret which if let out could be highly detrimental to the duo; they were half fairies.
