Calliope's world of magic is slowly becoming poisoned. The world is dying and it is up to her and her friends to find the culprits. But can Cal survive the world of dying magic with her heart still intact?
View MoreHere we are. Another year at Spellbound High. Thankfully it's our last year! We've been waiting for so long to get here! The top of the school. We are going to have so much fun this year! It has nothing to do with being popular, there are quite a few popular kids who like to look down on the underclassmen... But that's not us. We just want to have fun.
I giggle as I look at my best friend in the whole world. Her golden hair shines in the early morning sun. I swear she was born with sparkles in her skin... There is just something about her that just... shines! It may be her beautiful personality.
"What do you think is gonna happen this year Nadia?" I ask, unable to keep my enthusiasm in. I'm hoping this will be the best year ever! It's not like we are leaving or anything. We'll all be going to the Enchanted Forest University next year. Our Fates are more or less intertwined and we will be best friends forever.
Nadia is a fairy. She is a gently soul and pretty shy... But that's why I love her. Of course it isn't the only reason. She is very intuitive, and if there is something wrong, she knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. She is the closest thing I have to a sister... I've been stuck with a big brother, not that I don't love him, but there are some things you just can't tell your brother!
"I don't know. Hopefully something awesome!" she giggles, leaning over and giving me a side hug. "This year we'll finally be old enough to join the council... Maybe we'll find boyfriends too?"
"You know it's gonna be great!" Phoebe snickers, bumping shoulders with me. "After all it's our final year! Our training will be complete and we will have our own place and destinies to fulfill."
Phoebe is a phoenix. She has a twin brother named Knox. He's a thunderbird. Together, they are unstoppable! She is one of the strongest girls I've ever met. She doesn't put up with crap from any of the school bullies either. Not that there aren't plenty who wish harm on her or our friends. But she can hold her own if she needs to.
Chloe sighs wistfully. "I hope its gonna be our best year... we can't exactly do it over again," she states. "Unless one of us can figure out how to turn back time... Not that I would do that even if we could. It could really mess up the time line."
Chloe is technically a Forest Nymph, but she prefers to be called a wood sprite... Either way, she's probably the most mellow of the group. She's what I like to call a nature freak... all good naturedly of course! She's very environmentally minded, always trying to help out Mother Earth. She is the very definition of a flower child.
"Well, I vote we rock this year!" Cheers Selene, bouncing on her toes like an excited three year old who had eaten too much sugar. If there was someone I would classify as a cheerleader, it would be Selene... Only she despises the cheerleaders in our school. They are all snobs and Selene is just too cheerful.
Selene is a siren. She has the most amazing voice! And yeah, I could totally see her luring men to their deaths... if she wasn't so freaking sweet! She really does love to sing, and it doesn't matter what it is that comes out of her mouth, she could lull a gang of bikers to sleep... But she only puts her magic into her singing when she's nervous.
"Hey, guys," a masculine voice calls from behind me. One I've memorized forever. My heart starts to pound in my chest. I need to calm down before I'm able to look up at him... But what is he doing here?
I turn around to find Trey, Nadia's older brother. His eyes are a sparkling blue and that cocky smile he always has. There is just something about Trey that I find dreamy. I don't know what it is that is so alluring, his eye, his smile, his scent... Or if it's just him. But I always feel better when I'm with him.
Carefully I place the rock on the little square. I keep the thing contained because I don't know what they want to do with it. I am not sure if it will suddenly come back together if I release it... and in that case it would hurt the elders, which is why they couldn't go find it themselves."Thank you dear. Would you tell me what happened?" She asks, examining the rock from a distance. The rock itself is about the size of two of my fists, so it is a decent size rock. The crack goes right through the writing... Maybe it's a spell?"Well, we came to the mountain, and there was a black fog. It burned us," I say showing them my arms. Trey shows his too. They are both red splotchy patches and black veins speeding from our finger tips... It looks really ugly."Sorry, I can heal you soon," he promises, looking down at my arms. He doesn't look happy about what he sees. But I know that I trust him to do what he says. If he tells me he will heal me, I believe him.I blush at the thought of him
I don't remember much about the ride home except for the fact that I'd been watching the broken rock in my blue orb like it was a bomb about to go off. I'm not exactly sure what it can do, or what it will do. All I know is that when it was left alone it made a really terrible black mist that stung and burned my body... Trey's too.Trey tried to calm me down by joking around. He always does this when he's worried about people. He likes to set them at ease. It's one of his natural talents.Still he keeps eyeing the rock in my hand with curiosity. Neither of us know exactly what it is but we can tell it's where the darkness had come from. Which means neither of us should touch it. Not that I want to touch it. This close it feels repulsive and negative. It lets off a smell that seeps through my shield like rotten eggs. Whoever made this wanted to make sure no one found it!"How could that thing be so strong if my sweet Callie was able to crack the damn thing in half?" Trey teased me, putt
I wanted to argue with him, but he is older than me. "If you don't do as I instruct, I'll just freeze you in the car and go investigate myself!" he huffs."Fine! But I'm not happy about this Trey!" I grumble, folding my arms across my chest to prove my point.But that only made him chuckle. "You know you're cute when you're mad! I normally don't get to see this side of you... Maybe I should make you mad more often!" He jokes.That did not make me feel any better! I huffed and looked out the window, refusing to look at him for a whole ten minutes, before I gave up pretending to be mad at him and changed the subject.Finally, after about an hour of driving we pull over on the side of the road, and Trey parks.He locks the car after we get out.The terrain is... spooky. There is a black mist covering the ground, and the roots of the trees and all the grass and flowers are all withered and black. Some sort of black veins are running through the earth itself. There is a heavy feeling in th
Then again, every time I think of kissing someone it is always Trey. All I can think of are his warm soft lips pressed against mine. Him holding me in a gentle intimate embrace... His kiss hungry for mine. I wanted to feel that special tingle he has when he touches me. Then I want him to tell me he loves me and he'll never let anyone take me from him...But that will never happen. At least not when I'm awake...Needless to say, I got very little sleep last night. And when the sun broke over the horizon, I knew it was time to stop procrastinating and get out of bed. I was almost relieved to know it was almost time to leave. I don't know what will happen by the end of the day, but hopefully this will turn out to be a success.I was surprised to see Trey was already at my house. He was talking to Jaxx in the kitchen while Mom made eggs and pancakes. A bowl of fruit and a jug of juice had already been placed on the table."Good morning, Callie," he says with a sweet smile. How is it fair
Morning came too early. I was up most of the night replaying the scene at the park. I tried to forget about it, but I just couldn't. No matter how much I prayed to forget what went down in the park, it kept repeating like a haunted dream, over and over again.“I won’t let anything happen to you, Callie. I promise!” he said.I was so happy to be with him. I knew he would protect me, even if I didn't think I need protecting. But being in his arms was enough for me. I felt special... and safe. Like I belonged there with him.Trey sighed. “Callie, about Beth-” I didn't want to talk about her!We'd spent too much time talking about her as it was and I didn't want to waste our precious time together talking about another girl! Didn't he know that? Couldn't he understand?“Why won’t you let me finish what I want to say?” he asked, a little frustrated.Yes, I have had a bad habit of cutting him off lately. And I'd feel bad about it, except I'm doing to protect my heart. But I couldn't tell hi
My heart sinks. He is interested in a girl. I knew it. I just didn't want to acknowledge it. This is the part where he tells me he's in love with Selene or Chloe... At least they would be better than Beth. I'm glad I never told anyone I was in love with him. They won't have to feel bad when they start dating, and I can just act like I don't care."Calliope-""Hey, beautiful. What a surprise finding you here," coos a dark voice, cutting Trey off completely. Momentarily distracted, I turn from Trey and look up at a Amir. When did he get here? And was it just a coincidence or did he come here to find me?Trey freezes under me, pulling me closer to him, almost as if he's scared to let me go. I can feel him vibrating in frustration. Even though I want to soothe him, I can't seem to take my eyes away from Amir."Calliope, please..." Trey begs.But Amir grabs my wrist and pulls me into his arms. "I heard you are going on a little trip tomorrow," he chuckles.I giggle and nod my head. "Yeah..
