A/N: Helloo~! Welcome to the very first, and long awaited, chapter 1 of "Side by Side: The Story of Brianna Deathrose! Yay! Anyway, just as a little side note, I just wanted to tell you all that the first few chapters will be before what happens in the prologue. Is that confusing? I hope it isn't and that's why I wanted all the OCs lots of levels below the level of Brianna in the prologue (Yes, that was our main character ;D, though you all probably figured that (Brianna's level will be a lot lower than that at the moment)). Most of these will be introductions to the new OCs, but if you don't find yours here, it'll probably be in later chapters. Am I giving away too much? Ah, sorry! I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Memories

A short girl with long, black hair tied in a braid, was strolling through the Commons when two older boys ran into her. She fell flat on her face, dropping all her death homework and all the books she had been carrying.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" they laughed. She rolled her eyes as they walked away. She started picking up her things when someone knelt in front of her. She looked up to see a girl with golden blonde hair and the brightest emerald eyes she'd ever seen.

"What was that all about?" The girl asked. "Need some help?"

"I don't know, just some jerks who think they can pick on lower levels like me. Sure." The girl started helping her pick up her things.

"Oh, I'm Serafina Angelshield, by the way. But you can call me Sara."

"Nice to meet you Sara, I'm Brianna Deathrose." They had finished picking up Brianna's things and stood up. "Thanks, for the help. What class do you have right now?" Brianna asked as they both started walking towards nothing in particular.

"I have Balance right now. Just finished Ice class." Serafina responded casually.

"So you're an Ice wizard. I'm headed to Fire class, just finished Death." Brianna said, pushing some of her black hair out of her face.

"And you're a Death wizard." They were approaching the Balance professor, and Serafina's eyes went wide when the school bell started ringing. "Ah, shoot! See you later, Brianna!" Serafina yelled.

"See you, Sara." Brianna called back, then she sprinted down to the Fire school.

***Time Skip***

Secondary classes had ended and Brianna was hoping to run into that Serafina girl again. She liked her. Brianna had forgotten to add her to her friends list, in the short amount of time they spent together. So, she couldn't whisper or teleport to her.

Brianna strolled down to the area in which the Balance professor was always standing. Brianna didn't understand why he didn't have his own school yet, he had been here long enough and she didn't understand why Professor Ambrose didn't just give him his own school. Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed a familiar looking girl talking to the Balance professor.

It was Serafina.

"Sara!" Brianna yelled as she ran towards the girl, her black, braided hair trailing behind her head.

The blonde girl turned her head, looking surprised at Brianna's appearance, her hair whipping behind her. She smiled and waved back. The Balance professor turned to look at Brianna and then told Serafina something Brianna couldn't hear. Serafina responded with a smile and ran towards Brianna.

"Hey! I didn't think I'd see you again!" Serafina said cheerfully as she approached.

"I didn't think I'd see you either! I was looking all over for you. I forgot to add you earlier and it was nagging at me all during Fire class." Brianna stated as they started walking towards the tunnel leading to the Commons.

"Oh, really? Then, let's add each other now!" Serafina said as she drew up her hand. With a quick snap of her fingers, ice shards appeared in her hand, creating a smaller version of the Ice Insignia and floating. Brianna did the same, snapped her fingers and a black mist appeared in her hand, forming a miniature version of the Death Insignia just above her palm. They shook hands, the light blue aura of Ice magic appearing around Serafina, the black aura of Death magic appearing around Brianna, but just for a split second. Then it all disappeared, leaving the two girls smiling.

"Brianna Deathrose, level fourteen Death wizard. Fourteen years old." Serafina said, letting go of her hand.

"Serafina Angelshield, level eleven Ice wizard. Thirteen years old." Brianna responded. "Nice to finally meet you."

"Same goes for you, Brianna!" Serafina said.

"Just call me Bri."

"Well, okay then 'Bri'" Serafina said. " What kind of homework you got?" She was eyeing the papers Brianna was holding.

"There's been disturbances in the Haunted Cave in Triton Avenue. They want me to go check it out. Then I've got a writing about all the different types of Fire enemies." Brianna said and rolled her eyes. Serafina giggled. "You want me to help you? Like they always say, the more the merrier. Plus, with two people you'll get the job done faster!"

"Okay, sure!" Brianna said. "Come, Midnight." Serafina looked confused at first, until she saw a black panther mount appear out of nowhere with a Death aura surrounding it. At that she said, "You've got a really cute mount! Midnight's it's name?"

"Yeah. How 'bout you? You got a mount or-" Brianna was interrupted by Serafina, who had said "Here Goldie Glitter! Come here girl!" A flurry of Ice surrounded the area in front of Serafina and a huge golden Pegasus appeared out of it.

"Woah, dude. She's awesome! Where the hell did you get her!? I've never seen a mount like her before!" Brianna exclaimed, approaching the Pegasus and leaving a panther looking rather left out.

"Got her from my family. Said she was raised somewhere in Wysteria."

"Alright, now I'm excited to see what you've got 'Miss Ice wizard.'" Brianna giggled. "Come on, let's go." She hopped onto Midnight the panther and took off through the tunnel into the Commons and towards Triton Avenue, leaving a confused looking Serafina behind her.

"H-hey! Wait up!" She called, mounting Goldie Glitter and taking off after her.

***Two Weeks Later***

Brianna was sitting in the Commons, under the shade of a tree, reading a book while the people around her chatted constantly. Her new best friend, Serafina, sometimes wondered how in the spiral she could read with so much noise around her, but Brianna kind of liked it.

She heard a giggle beside her and cast a sideways glance towards the blonde sitting next to her. Then, the blonde double over in laughter.

"Really Sara? Are you whispering to that boyfriend of yours again?" Serafina looked up at her and giggled.

"Whaaaat? Of course not!" Her face had a faint flush spread across her cheeks, and she had the biggest grin on her face.

"What was his name? Antonio Banders?" Brianna smirked at the reaction she got. As soon as Serafina heard his name, her face turned bright red.

"W-w-what? N-no! That's not him! I-I don't know who that is! Idon'thavea-"

"You're a horrible liar, Sara." Brianna rolled her eyes.

"Okay fine. I may have been whispering to Antonio Banders who is in fact my boyfriend." Serafina said, looking defeated.

"Haha! I knew it! Ever since you told me about that guy, I knew it! Just the way you looked when you talked about him. 'Oh! Antonio Banders! He's sooooo awesome! He's funny too! He might just be my favorite person!'" Brianna said, pure confidence on her face as she had guessed right and thought she had mimicked Serafina's voice perfectly. Even though it may have sounded like a dying goat.

"Hey! I don't sound like that! I never said that either!" Serafina protested, gently pushing Brianna as she laughed. Brianna tumbled over, her book falling out of her hands.

"You're funny, Sara." Brianna said, wiping tears from her eyes.

"You laughed so much you cried!?" Serafina exclaimed. "You're sense of humor is somessed up." Brianna sat back up and they giggled.

A girl with blood red hair was standing in the shadows. Watching two familiar looking females. One with black hair and one with golden blonde hair. Her eyes glowed with hatred.

"They are so stupidly childish. Why are you having me watch her? What is so special about her? She doesn't look very strong." her gruff voice whispered to her master.

"Quiet, girl! You must do what I tell you, and I told you to watch her. We need to keep an eye on her. She could get out of control and if that happens, then what will become of our plan?" a deep male voice, belonging to her master, sounded in her head. The girl crossed her arms and blew some of her hair out of her face.

"Yes, Master Malistaire." She scoffed at the sight of the two girls laughing and sat down in the cover of the shadows.
