ARIA'S POV

Kael dragged me down a deserted stone corridor, kicking open the door to an empty study room and slamming it shut behind us. He locked the heavy oak door with a sharp flick of his wrist, turning to face me with a look of absolute bewilderment mixed with pure dread.

"What is your game, Aria?" Kael demanded, running a hand through his dark hair as he paced the length of the room.

"My *game*?" I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest and rubbing my wrists where Ruby's magic had burned

    ARIA'S POV Kael dragged me down a deserted stone corridor, kicking open the door to an empty study room and slamming it shut behind us. He locked the heavy oak door with a sharp flick of his wrist, turning to face me with a look of absolute bewilderment mixed with pure dread."What is your game, Aria?" Kael demanded, running a hand through his dark hair as he paced the length of the room."My *game*?" I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest and rubbing my wrists where Ruby's magic had burned. "In case you missed it, your psychotic fan club tried to feed me to magical killer bees out there!"“You have just been here for a day and you are getting yourself into trouble back and forth. Do you have a death wish?““I would be just fine if they left me alone.“ I yelled back. “You could maybe start being fine by taming your mouth. You are a wildfire. And you and I know that you do not have the magical capacity to stand up against anybody here. You are almost a human. You should avoid trou

  • The witch caught between two rivals    CHAPTER 4

    ARIA'S POV The ancient key felt heavy and cold against my thigh, tucked deep inside the pocket of my jeans. Even hours after detention ended, the image of that sliding stone wall and the freezing chasm beneath the academy haunted my mind.I survived the rest of the evening by keeping my head down, retreating to my small, Spartan dormitory room. The room was barely big enough for a single bed and a wooden desk, but after the chaos of the day, it felt like a fortress.The next morning, the hallway chatter was already buzzing with whispers about me. Word of the cafeteria showdown and the detention brawl had spread through Blackthorn Academy like wildfire. I could hear whispers as I walked down the hallway. Everybody seemed to have something to say about me.As I walked toward the central courtyard, a soft voice called out behind me."Hey, Aria, right?"I turned to see a girl with warm hazel eyes and dark hair tied back in a neat ponytail. She was wearing the pristine academy uniform, bu

  • The witch caught between two rivals    CHAPTER 3

    ARIA'S POV The dust in the deepest basement of the Blackthorn library was choking. The underground storage facility looked more like a medieval dungeon than a place of learning, lined with towering, iron-reinforced bookcases that stretched up into the gloom. A single, flickering fluorescent bulb hummed overhead, casting long, skeletal shadows across the floorboards.I slammed a massive, leather-bound tome onto a cart, wiping a streak of black grime across my forehead. My torn blazer was hung over the back of a nearby chair, leaving me in my simple white undershirt. "You're missing a spot on the top shelf, charity case."I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. Kael was leaning against a stone pillar a few feet away, his arms crossed over his chest. He was now wearing a tight black t-shirt that showed off the ridiculous, athletic build of someone who spent all his free time picking fights. Professor Nightfall had dragged him down here to serve isolation detention right a

    ARIA'S POV With one swift motion, Kael's finger nails circled my throat lifting me up from the chair. In an even more unlikely speed for a human, he slammed me against a wall, his grip on me tightening, cutting off air supply from my lungs. I wriggled in his grip trying to free myself from his strangled hold.“listen girl, you will know your place from now on. Do you understand?“I couldn't breathe. “Charity cases like you are the last thing that we need in this school. I don't know why they keep letting people like you in even though we have made it clear that this is not a school for trash.“ He spat with so much venom. He hated scholarship kids. Why did he hate the under privileged so much?"Get your dirty hands off me now.“ I spat out."That's enough, Kael."Kael stopped. He turned to the sudden distraction and I used that moment to free myself from his hold. I saw a frown settle on his already angry face.I turned to look at the intruder, tall, handsome, with silver eyes. He h

  • The witch caught between two rivals    CHAPTER 1

    ARIA'S POVI stood in front of the huge building letting my gaze trail the entirety and taking in the magnimosity of the building. Blackthorn Academy, the school I had just won a scholarship to. I held my worn out leather bag that was straped on my shoulder tightly. I took a deep breath. When compared to the others, my uniform was a total joke. It was a black knee length gown I had found at the drift shop downtown. The girls all wore pristine and well ironed pleated skirts that smelled of lavender. I felt out of place and i didn't need anybody to tell me that this not the kind of place for a girl my class.“Oh my Gosh, take a look at that.“ A girl with blonde hair said loudly as she walked past me with her group of friends. “Did she step out of a trash bin?“ Her friends laughed and shook their heads.“I think she is the scholarship case that was to be added here.“ another girl replied.“Since when did they allow scholarship kids in here? Pathetic little things. I bet Kael is going to
