Chapter Two

Werewolves and Buses

Two months later. One suitcase Waiting for a bus. To take me to AMP. My new home. For the next three years. Fog was swirling and I could barely see beyond the house across the street. I strained my eyes to see as far as I could down the road. Hurry, hurry, hurry. I worried that the rain would begin to fall and I didn't want to be soaked on the first day of "magic school". My long dark brown hair was already damp from the moisture in the air. All I did was worry these days. About school. About monsters. About me, failing. But beyond that was a slight feeling stirring. Excitement. A new life, new friends, new school. I would miss Jackie of course, but what can be done about that?

A sleek white bus rolled out of the gloom and can to a smooth halt in front of me. The doors popped open and I climbed on.

"Goin' to AMP?" The bus driver asked. She was a fat African American women with a kind smile. I nodded. "Get yerself seated then."

I turned to see the back of the bus and gasped. It was twice the size it had looked from the outside. But I had no time to gawk. The driver stepped on the pedal and the bus shot forward. I dragged my bag and myself into my seat and let out a breath. Magic really was something.

I woke up to someone poking me in the shoulder. I yawned and turned to face a smiling girl with short messy brown hair and freckles. She had deep brown eyes and several band aids stuck to her face.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" She said, "Mind if I sit here?"

I rubbed my eyes, "No, that's okay." I moved over and she slid into the seat next to me. I glanced around. Lots of the gray leather seats has been taken while I slept. "I'm Hope. Nice to meet you."

The girl nodded, "I'm Kalista. Likewise"

She turned around with her back to me and dug into her bag. Her tail waved behind her. HER TAIL?!

"What?!" I cried, "A tail?! That's fake right?"

Kalista blinked. "Um.. No. I'm a werewolf so..."

"WHAT?!" I slid over some more, "Werewolves attend this school too?!"

"Quiet yer mouths!" Shouted the bus driver, "Or yer gonna walk to the lake!"

"Of course!" Kalista replied, "Vampires, witches, werewolves, sorcerers, summoners, and a few nymphs."

"What?" I hissed. "B-b-but why? Aren't vampires gonna kill everyone and sorcerers ruin our minds?"

Kalista laughed really hard. "Of course not! Where did you hear those silly things?" She pulled something out of her bag. A lunch of chicken. "Ridiculous!"

I stared out the window. Worry, worry, worry. I'm as good as dead.

Three hours later we pulled up onto the side of the road and the bus driver let us out saying 'Watch yerselfs, now!' And 'Good luck ya yer' and then sped off down the road. All that was here was a lake and a dock with several motorboats lined up. Other kids and people in the AMP uniform were helping kids into the boats and helping carry things.

"Can I get that for you?" Someone asked politely.

I turned around to see a girl with blond hair and cheerful gray-blue eyes. She just pretty tall. I pulled my bag into my arms, "Thanks, but I got it."

"Sure thing," then she yelled to the rest of our group, "Follow me, first years, second and third years wait a moment."

The group broke apart. Kalista, two boys, and, myself followed the girl down the slight hill and onto the docks. She led us aboard a boat. It was white and had two blue stripes on it horizontally. She took our bags and lugged them aboard.

"Okay then," she turned to us, "Careful getting on, it would suck to fall in this gross water."

Everyone studied the murky brown water and shuddered at the though of taking a dunk. Kalista climbed on, I stumbled to follow. We sat down next to each other on a row of seats on the side of the boat. When everyone was aboard the blond girl climbed on.

"Okay, I'm Blythe and I'm you "Captain" for today," she sat at a seat and pulled the throttle. We shot across the lake.

We ended up in a great room that reminded me of something out of a Harry Potter book. Minus the floating candles. A teacher, I would guess, led the first years, about forty or so of us, into a huge round room. My footsteps echoed on the black marble floor. A flat square slab loomed in the center of the room. The second and third years were crowded up against the outer walls of the room. The first years made a ring around the slab.

A man solemnly said, "May your flowing blood reveal you new lives!"
