Chapter 1: Invitation
(Shelen POV)
I walked down the path to the school and glanced around at the other people around me. Some were playing basketball, others talking, and some even giving helpless nerds wedgies. Yup, just a normal school. I had been going to the school for 5 or so years and not one problem had occured. I was picked on like a normal kid. Got good grades like a normal kid. And I had some normal enemies. The only non-normal thing was that I had no friends. Sad I know. But it can't be helped. Even with my normal life I was not normal.
Why? Well for one. I have strange eyes. They are sapphire at times but turn gold at other times. A trait I picked up from my mom I guess. So people call me a freak and I get beat up because of it. Also I wear the BOYS uniform and I am actually a girl.
"Hey, Shen!" I looked up and saw a boy with spiky tri-colored hair running toward me. I smiled and waved him over.
"What's up, Yugi?" I asked as he slowed to a walk beside me. Ok, yeah I have 1 friend. But we don't usually hang out. Also Yugi is kind of...weird. Weirder than me. He doesn't eat the school food and wears a LOT of sunscreen. Also his eyes are amythest colored. Not as weird as my own bt still unnerving.
"I just wanted to say good morning." He replied cheerfully.
"Well then, good morning." I said with light humour.
"So we sitting together at lunch?" Yugi asked hopefully.
"Don't we always?" I asked raising an eyebrow in light humour.
"Yeah, I just thought I'd make sure." He smiled sheepishly. I smiled down at him and ruffled his hair. He giggled and we went to our classrooms.
...
At lunch I sat next to Yugi on the roof of the school. I always loved sitting up high and feeling the wind on my face. It was a way of keeping me calm. We sat and ate our lunches while talking about different things such as new games Yugi's grandfather had ordered to be shipped in and some new items on my mom's menu for the cafe she owned. After lunch we returned to class. At the end of class we walked home together since we lived on the same street and it had become a ritual for us to go to the cafe then to the game shop.
But that day was different. Yugi and I had been walking like nothing was out of the ordinary when he had suddenly stopped. I glanced back at him and saw he was ridged. He seemed to be looking around in fear.
"Yugi?" I waved a hand in front of his eyes.
"Shelen, get inside." Yugi said quietly. This was suprising since he sounded like he was both scared but serious.
"What?" I looked at him oddly.
"Just go!" He said and turned his back on me. I suddenly felt a wave of dark power and I shivered then ran. I hurried into my house and shut the door behind me. I huffed and puffed for breath then pushed off of the door. I then walked into the house and sat down at the small card table that was supposed to serve as the table in the small flat. I then shook off the shiver from before and walked upstairs. I sighed and flopped down on my bed. I stared up at the skylight I had installed myself while my mom had been on one of her trips to Egypt. Why she went there was a mystery to me.
The sky was dark with grey clouds forming. I sighed and rolled over to lay on my stomach and hide my face in a pillow. I then turned my head to face the wall nearest my bed and looked at the posters and drawings I had pasted up when I was younger. One of the drawings was of a boy with hair like Yugi's.
When I had found the picture again the day I pasted it up on the wall, I had thought it was a picture of Yugi. But he pointed out that the boy in the drawing had streaks of his bangs also shooting up into his hair. I had said it was probably to make him look cooler so we had dropped the conversation.
I gave a huff and turned from the drawing then closed my eyes.
...
(3rd Person POV)
A dark figure stood in an allyway. The figure was cornering a smaller figure.
"What's wrong, angel, miss me?" the figure purred. It's scaly black swished behind it. The smaller figures amythest eyes were filled with cautiousness.
"K-Kaze, why are you here?" The boy asked timidly.
"What? Can't visit my little angel?" Kaze asked in mock hurt.
"It's not that...SHE might find you."
"She wont find me." Kaze assured and stroked the younger's soft cheek. Her eyes softened and the pupils rounded a bit.
"But-"
"Shh, angel. She wont learn of what you are. Not yet."
Kaze then used a clawed hand to stroke the feathery white wings of the boy and rested her forehead against his.
"Soon though, my angel. She will know of her heritage. Soon, the master will have his mate."
She then captured his lips in a soft kiss, her tail wrapping around his waist. He returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around her neck. Kaze then broke the kiss.
"Now go. The master is growning impatient." Kaze said as she let go of the smaller of the two.
"B-But are you sure it's HER?" The other asked.
"Yes, angel, I am sure of it." Kaze then stepped back and was surrounded by shadows. When the shadows calmed a black dragon stood before the boy. Her golden eyes glowing in the dark of the allyway. She then unfolded her wings and took off as silent as the black smoke that was her body. The boy watched after her then turned to leave. He walked into his grandfathers shop. Shelen, I hope you understand what will happen. Please don't hate me for it...

(Shelen POV)
I groaned and looked up. There were rain splatters on the roof so I guessed it must have rained the night before. I sat up in bed and rubbed the back of my head. Anther day, another school session. I got up and pulled on my uniform then walked out the door. Yugi was waiting for me as always and we walked in silence.
...
"Shelen, may I see you after class?" My teacher asked. I nodded feeling rather nervous since it's not usually a good sign. After class I walked up to the teacher's desk.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Yes, I have noticed your grades have been dropping." The teacher said and pulled up my file.
"Dropping?" I asked.
"Yes, you dropped from a B to a D in this class and an A to an F in your history class. The only classes you have an A in are Mythology and Art. Is there a reason for these grades?"
"I-I don't...I don't know..." I admitted.
"Well if you can't bring up this grade I'm afraid I will have to have you expelled."
"But-"
"No 'buts'. This is my final decision."
"Ok, thank you...I understand." I nodded and walked away.
...
When I got home I went straight upstairs again but grabbed the mail in the process. I flipped through the contents on my way up. Bills, bills, and more bills. A few magazines and an actual letter. I paused at the letter it read;
Shen Pendragon
842 Elm Road, Silver Bay Cafe
Domino, Japan
There wasn't a return address though.
"Weird." I muttered. Then I tossed the rest of the mail onto my desk. I sat down on my bed and peeled the letter open.
"Dear Mr. Shen Pendragon,
You have been accepted at M.H.A, the school for the abnormal. We know of your struggle and wish for you to join us. Reply by email or return mail if you accept. If we don't hear a reply by July 10th we will send someone to come and find out why. Term starts Sept. 1.
Sign
Y. S. M."
'Y. S. M?' Who's that? And what is M. H. A? I wondered. And how could they help? What problem did I have, anyway?
"Shelen, time for dinner!" Mom called. I stood up and walked down the stairs. We then began to eat.
"Hey, Mom."
"Yes?"
"I...Have you ever heard of a place with the inishials or 'M. H. A'?"
Mom stopped in mid-bite and stared at me almost...Scared?
"Where did you hear about this?" She asked in all seriousness.
"In an invitation to join M. H. A, why?"
"May I see the invitation?"
"Sure." I walked back upstairs and brought down the paper. Mom took it from me and looked over it. Her eyes narrowed and she set the paper down.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"No, nothing." Mom sounded like she didn't want me to know. I let the matter drop and went back to eating.
...
Later that night I awoke and heard Mom yelling downstairs. Well it sounded like yelling to me, probably because I have pretty sensetive hearing. I snuck out of bed and crept my door. Then I slowly turned the knob and snuck down the steps. I then hid behind the wall to the door that led to the main area of the flat. I listened hard for Mom's voice. Then she spoke.
"I told you to stay away from us! She is not going to join your so-called 'school'! She would be killed the moment she enters!"
There must have been words on the other side of the phone because she paused.
"No! I told you before, she isn't ready! I can't tell her about it eaither!"
Another pause. Then a sigh.
"She would be ashamed if she knew what she was. Hybrids are shunned by the purebloods."
Hybrids? Purebloods? What was she talking about?
"I can't let her go...Not now, not after what happened to her father...I know-I know she needs to make this choice but-Fine. Send someone to help me explain then."
The phone was then set gently on the stand. I quickly scrambled upstairs and got back in bed. I then began to feign sleep as Mom came in to check on me. After I heard the door close again I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. What was Mom talking about? And who was she talking about anyway? Perhaps I would find out.
I'm sure there are a lot of questions. Well I can't answer many since that would ruin the plot, probably. But one thing's for sure, I wont be writing in first person again for a while in this story. Chapter 2 is coming soon and the part in 3rd person was happening in an allyway near Shelen's house.
