I enjoyed the breeze and the sun on my skin as I walked to school. I wish I didn’t have to go to school that my senior year was over, so I wouldn’t have to deal any longer with Mariah and Holli’s crap.
I walked slower taking my time, my first period was a free period that I did in the front office filling and helping students, everything that the secretary couldn’t do, or need help with, the school wouldn’t hire her, and assistant so I did it instead.I like Mrs. Parker. She was very kind; She was in her fifties. She was short, had long light brown hair that was nicely kept up in a bun, no hair out of place, she had a stocky build. She looked like a librarian. I have been helping her since 9th grade. I chuckled at the time we spent together. Her stories I cherish. She had two children and 4 grandchildren. She was widowed at a young age. They killed her husband in action and so her children and grandchildren took up her free time.I fell in love with fashion after she showed me how to sew. Outside of school, she had an awesome wardrobe, even though she dressed like a librarian. A real fashionista.I thought so anyhow; She has become a friend to me, and people laugh at me for it, but I don't pay attention to it. She was delightful. I heard the voice again as I got closer to school." My dear zayla, all will be revealed in due time. Stay alert and watch out for danger." Damn, this voice is freaking me out. I felt like I was going crazy.As I stooped down, I shook my head. I felt like I’m going to have a panic attack or something as I was crouched down with my head in my palms, struggling to catch my breath. I felt a smack to my ass. I was about to give someone a friendly punch to the face when I shot up angrily with my fists in the air.“WHOA, hold up killer; it’s just us. Calm down, “I noticed it was Jenifer and Amanda strolling up further to me as they had backup when I got up, so I wouldn’t hit them. As my heart rate started to go back to normal, I took a few more calming breaths.“You okay? Amanda asked, her eyes showing concern, but before I could answer, Jenifer spun me around to face her and grasped me, wow your hair is amazing. Did you dye it? she questioned, looking surprised because I would never have done it before.“No, I woke up like this,” I answered shakily. “What ?!! “Okay, we need details. You owe us; Your mother called this morning.” She stated. I rolled my eyes.“Of course she did,” I replied, annoyingly.I told them everything except that I was hearing a voice. I didn’t want them to think I was insane because what I was already telling them was crazy enough, but I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it. Their face was pale, and they had questions in their eyes as we arrived at school.“Listen, I know you have questions. I will answer what I can do during lunch. We headed to the office as we entered the school. I hurried inside after giving them a weak smile.I put myself down on the desk that was over the corner. “ Good morning, Mrs. Preston. Mrs. Parker sang out.”Good morning. I brought you some hushpuppies. “ Thank you, dear, we got some papers to file and a new student is arriving and I need you to show him around” Great, just what I need. I think it will keep my mind off of everything. “Okay,” I said, getting straight to work.An hour later, I finished up what I was working on since I still had t some time left before the new student arrived. I decided to go grab some coffee from the lunchroom. The one in the front office tasted like old gym shoes.“Mrs Parker, I am going to the lunchroom to grab some coffee. Do you want anything?” I asked," No dear, just hurry back before the new student arrives sweetie”. “Okay, be right back “ I nodded leaving the office I headed out the door down the hallway to the cafeteria and walked into the kitchen, and poured myself a cup of coffee, hearing humming I turned around and saw the school’s cook Mr. Cline.“Good morning, Mr. Cline,” I said, trying to catch his attention."Good morning, Zayla, ready for the day?" He asked without even looking up from what he was doing. “Yes, how’s your morning going?” I asked," going great, “is all he said.I chuckled a little as he continued working. He wasn't much of a talker. He claimed it interrupted his art. “As I went back to the office, I got a couple of texts from Jenifer and Amanda, asking if everything is all right and what my plans were so we could talk, I reminded them we could I guess I was so into texting out my message because I didn’t realize I ran into a wall or what I thought was a wall, I ended up falling backward spilling my coffee all over my Self and me throwing my phone as well it landing on the linoleum floor with a sicking crunch...“Hey, are you all right? “I heard a deep husky voice say. As I looked up I was astonished by the most handsome guy, I had ever seen then I realized it was the boy from the woods, he put his hand out to help me up, I was still staring at his handsomely sculpted face and my eyes traveled down his massive athletic body when my eyes moved back to his sumptuous lips he returned he a little grin “Like what you see “he taunted.This made me heated and ashamed that he had caught me ogling him. I pushed his hand aside. “I don’t call for your help. Why are you stalking me? I asked him as I picked myself up before he could add anything. I found my phone and marched to the office door, and left him standing there with a stunned look on his face.As I stormed into the office, I looked down at my phone “Great the whole screen was completely cracked, UGH, I had coffee all down the front of me, Lucky for me I had a change of clothing but unfortunately, they were gym clothes, great just great. “What happened to you? “Mrs. Parker asked her to come around her desk. “Just a wall jumping out at me. I laugh dryly. “Were you texting and walking again?” she asked, her eyebrows raised. “Yes,” I sighed, looking down, flustered.The guy from the hall walked in after I heard the office door open. Mrs.Parker turned around to greet him. he is staring right at or threw me like he was looking at my soul or something. He has the most mesmerizing honey-brown eyes. I shake my head back to attention. “Mrs. Parker, I am going to go change my clothes. “I told her as I walked past him. “Okay, hun, hurry back so we can do the tour she added sweetly with a mischievous grin.I wouldn't stay to find out why he was here, but he was still looking at me. I don
I approached the school doors. I headed to the front office. Out of nowhere, this small-figured girl ran right into me; something distracted her on her phone. “Oh, are you okay?” I asked as she hit the floor, spilling her coffee all over the front of her, also sending her phone flying out of her hands, cracking the screen. I helped her up. Her hair was falling around her face. She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.Then, I noticed she was the same girl from the woods. I arched my eyebrows and hit the top of my forehead to see that her wound was gone. What happened to it? It was not possible to heal that fast. She was looking at me while I was staring at her. I saw she was checking me out. This made me smile. I held out my hand to help her up, but she looked at my hand and pushed it away.“I don't want you to help me. Why are you following me? “She got up on her own, searched for her phone, and ran into the office after asking with such anger. I stood there for a moment stunned,
The girl and her group walked away from me. I just shook my head and went to my first period; I just knew this girl would cause nothing but trouble. My thoughts kept wandering back to Zayla, hoping she was okay. I’ll look for her after class.An hour later, I hurried out of the class to find Zayla, but to no avail. I could not find her. Where did she go? I went to the office to see if she had returned. Mrs parker didn’t even know if she left. I gave up for now because she must be somewhere. I hope to see her at lunch.So I headed to my next class, two boring hours later. The bell rang to let us out for lunch, so I headed to the cafeteria and I scanned the enormous area. I couldn’t see Zayla anywhere, and feeling discouraged; I ate after grabbing some food and finding an available seat.I was almost done when I heard the annoying girl from earlier. “Nice,” I said to myself. Turning to see her make her way through the sea of students, I cringed, looking for a way to get out without havin
Making my way into my room, and shutting the door, I put my stuff down and grabbed a towel out of my closet, hoping an intense shower would help relieve some of my stress. I let the water flow over me after turning on the hot water.I just couldn’t stop thinking of Z’s eyes turning purple. I had never seen eyes like that before and I had come in contact with many shifters, who had green eyes or blue, even some with gold or brown but never violet. She wasn’t a shifter; I assumed. She must be powerful, something else. She would have to be taken out of the picture.When the water became cold, I finished up. I put my towel around my waist. I approach the sink and peered at myself in the mirror, and glared at my reflection, murmuring about how I was going to deal with this. I need to remember my training. I have to focus. I didn't think I was that doubtful.I wore shorts and a t-shirt when I started my homework. I felt a throbbing sensation in my head. Dealing with some dizziness, I placed
Hearing Jenifer’s voice saved me from my rampage. “W-what did you say?” I asked still in shock “Your eyes were glowing,” she said “almost like a dark violet She finished speaking in a low focusing on her and noticed her eyes were big as saucers, She studied me up and done, and before I could ask her any more questions, a teacher pulled me by my arm.“Ms. Preston, you need to go to the office. We don’t condone fighting. “I’m in trouble, but I didn’t care or feel bad about it. She got what was coming to her.We walked down the hall to the front office. Following Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Parker was sitting at her desk. She shot me a proud look and mouthed “Sorry” as Mrs. Crawford pushed me into the principal office.“Do you understand? Sit down and don’t move. “She threatened. Mrs. Crawford thought Mariah couldn’t do anything wrong because she was one of her many admirers. Mrs. Crawford was short and stocky and always kept her hair in a bun. She never smiles. She reminded me of a statue. I wis
I stood in utter shock, debating whether to turn around and leave but I felt an intense pull to open the trunk I wanted to know no I needed to know what was in there, why was I feeling the pull as I lifted the lid, I noticed there were pictures and a bunch of letters and a purple wooden jewelry box.I picked up a picture of two babies being held by a man and a woman with similar features. As for me, the woman had long raven black with hints of purple Jade colored eyes with a hint of green she was beautiful the man had short black hair with blue eyes and both of them had mocha skin. A bunch of questions plagued my mind, and I wondered if this was connected to the weird things happening to me. Who was this couple? And the babies? Was one of them me? And who was the other baby? I turned the picture over, and it had only one readable name: " Isabella." The other names were smudged. I was unable to make anything out; I set the picture back down and picked up one of the letters I opened it
"Repeat to me what you saw !! " I shouted slamming the cup I was drinking out of against the wall and smashing it into little pieces I was sitting in my study "iii saw her eyes glow purple master" stuttered one of my warriors, I had sent undercover to watch the princess see if any changes were happing to her and I was correct as predicted her powers were awaking as well as her dragon at long last I had found her,"Are you sure? " I asked." You better be sure because we need to know if it is her, that she is the one. After all, you and your incompetent friend have made too many mistakes ." I growled. Glaring at them with fury radiating off me both of them cowering down in fear, " YES, sorry master I am sure I have seen it with my own eyes. "Perfect," I growled in satisfaction. " We need to keep an eye on her because she needs to have her first shift, and then her powers will begin to appear, and then I will be able to take them for myself... I have waited for so long for this opportuni
A week passed and everything was very uneventful, I and cassie and Ron decided I would just observe Zayla to see if, in fact, she was the person the council was looking for and that we would deal with as it came.Ron suggested I go out for a sport because I was going crazy just going to school. I decided on track, and I made my way to the locker room to take a shower and get dressed in our team’s uniform. Someone was watching me and I had an uneasy feeling. I scanned the hall but saw nothing.Trying to shake off the weird feeling I opened the door and made my way to my gym locker Still having the uneasiness I tried to push it down, I opened my locker put my bag inside, grabbed my uniform and a towel, and quickly headed over to the showers jumping in and out toweling myself dry.I got dressed in my uniform then went to my locker, put my clothes back, and hung up my towel and all sudden someone slammed my door shut and jumped back.“Well hello, friend how’s it going?” As I stared a glare
