Chapter One- Burn

Elizabeth

'Why can't I just sleep through the night?' I thought as I pulled my knees to my chest with the blanket still wrapped around me. The sun was slowly coming up lightly illuminating my room. I always seem to wake up right as the sun starts rising. Sighing softly, I lay my head against my knees as I start thinking about what today was. The first day back to school since the incident happened. How would the day turn out and would this year actually be different, especially for me?

I haven't had a restful night of sleep since before the fire. Honestly the nightmares seem to be getting more vivid as time passes. It had been three months since Danafor High mysterious caught fire and due to circumstances that I regret, I just happened to be there when it went up in flames. I remember very little of what happened, but just like in my nightmares, I remember seeing the flames coming from all directions and the smoke, the thickness of it and the way it burned my eyes. It was like I was in Hell and I just kept thinking "please, some one help me" and then just like that I blacked out. I woke up riding in an ambulance and all I could think of is how? How did I get out of there?

I shook my head trying to completely wake up. Crawling out of bed, I turn to my dresser and pulled out some underwear and a bra before snagging my uniform that hung on my closet door. I start heading to the bathroom to shower for school. It was my first day as a senior at Britannia Academy and as much as I missed my friends over the summer I was not looking forward to one more year at that damn place. Being the daughter of not only a headmaster at the academy but a council elder of the city of Britannia didn't make me popular at all. In fact, the entire time I've attend the academy I've been bullied. Everyone that attends Britannia Academy is either an Heir or Heiress to a wealthy family or incredibly intelligent with abnormally high IQ's. Majority of the students think it's unfair that I'm able to attend such a prestigious school only because my father worked there. I didn't fit in to the norm of that school because my family didn't sell out to the masses and we weren't rich. We were just middle class but, I wasn't the only one. A small group of kids fell under the same category as me, two of which are my best friends. Arthur Pendragon and Elaine Chastiefol. Without them, I would have not made it through this stupid school and those stuck up jerks.

After a brief shower, I start blow drying my long silver hair. I brush through it making sure it was completely dry before slipping my uniform on. Nothings worse than wet hair making wet clothes. I look in the mirror at myself with my blue blazer on with my white button up shirt underneath. My blue and green plaid skirt seems about smaller than it was last year. 'Have I really grown that much over the summer?' I tug on it to pull it down, but it doesn't budge much. "Oh well" I sighed as I grab my comb and comb over my bangs over my right eye. Due to a weird gene that runs in my family my right eye is an abnormally bright orange color with an odd pupil while my other eye is a deep blue. I've been hiding my right eye for years now, no need to give those kids more reason to pick on me. I do a once over again and head downstairs for breakfast.

With my older sisters gone off to different schools outside Britannia, and my father being a headmaster and having to be at the academy early, my breakfasts tend to be lonely. I don't mind it as much. It's nice to have "me" time especially since my father was insufferable all summer long. Constantly watching me and making me visit with a therapist. Needless- to-say, the fire may have scared him a little bit. He signed me up for cooking classes with him, yoga, knitting, and even a knife forging class. It was nice spending some quality time with him, but I missed my friends. I didn't see them all summer since they too were busy traveling with their families and what not. I had so many questions to ask them since they were there too when the fire broke out. We never really got a chance to really talk about what happened that day. Every time I would get one of them on the phone it was an excuse to not talk about it. After today, even if I have to corner them, I am determined to get some answers.

The summer wasn't completely lonely. I did enjoy talking to my therapist. At first it was a little odd to talk to a complete stranger but after a while it was really nice to be able to get my feelings out, especially since I didn't have my friends around. I decided to let my therapist in on my nightmares. I told him about how real it seemed and that there was a boy there, trying to save me. He replied by saying sometimes, the mind blocks out certain aspects of a traumatic event and that my nightmares may actually be on to something. He also told me that sometimes missing pieces of memory affect normal life and until you figure out what is missing your life could never fully progress, and that's when I realized what I had to do. Obviously, there was someone there who saved me from that fire and I had to figure out who in-order to get rid of these nightmares and get my life back to some sort of normal. I needed to investigate and find out who all was there that day at Danafor High.

I sat at the island in our kitchen and turned on the small T.V. that my father placed in the corner of the counters. The news turns on and I'm not surprised since my father was up before me. While I got up to get some milk out of the fridge I can't help but overhear the news.

"The Danafor High school fire was only three months ago, but the community at large is still affected by the loss of one of two high schools here in Britannia. Last months council vote to allow Danafor High students to attend Britannia Academy while the high school is being rebuilt has set off a world wind of protests. Today is the first day back for students and already there are protesters waiting outside of the academy. Some are stating that because these students didn't earn the right to attend the school like the others they should not be allowed to attend while others protest that Britannia Academy has always catered to the high class of society and it is now time for a change. Although the council of elders did not state why they voted to allow the students to attend the school, it is said that it came down to a single vote for the decision. Danafor High is set to be complete sometime next year. In other news-"

'Today is going to be interesting' I thought as I continued to eat my cereal. The fire definitely started something here in Britannia that has been brewing for some time. The wealthy people, basically anyone associated with the Demon Corporation, had full reign on the city and in turn anyone not associated with them were casts aside. The Demon Corp has taken over most of Britannia with shopping centers, hotels, things to boost the city as a travel destination but it's eating away at the heritage this city holds. I hated Demon Corp for that and the way it boasts the rich people around town. It made me sick. It's been this way for a long time and everyone just kind of settled with the separation of high class to low class until now. The fire was a way to air out Britannia's dirty laundry and now everyone's raising their voices and trying to be heard. This may be the turn Britannia needs to become a better city. Maybe it'll take these students from Danafor to change everything.

'Or it could turn into a giant civil war and Britannia just explodes.' I sigh as I shook my head. "No matter what happens though, I just want to make it through my senior year" I place my bowl into the kitchen sink and run some water in it. "And…I want to know what I'm missing from that day." Looking at my watch, I decide it's time to face everyone at the academy for one more year. Nervous, yet determined, I grab my backpack that I had laid out by the front door and I head out into the city of Britannia, hoping today won't be as long as I think it's going to be.
