Nova's P.O.V.

Each species has its designated building, where you'll learn everything there is to know about your kind and your unique powers. And for those of you who are hybrids, you'll have the unique opportunity to call more than one building home.

At West Ora Academy, we believe that magic is not just a subject to be studied, but a way of life. You'll be immersed in a world of wonder and enchantment, where anything is possible and the impossible is just another challenge to overcome.
So come join us at West Ora Academy, where the supernatural world is waiting for you to discover it! Get ready to unleash your inner power and become the supernatural you were always meant to be!
I rolled my eyes at the email. They sure make it sound nice, but honestly, west Ora can get a little crazy. The faculty doesn't step in to help with a lot of things. It's the wild west there and I'm currently on my way back. Last year was the academy's first year as a school. The council members, along with the shadow mayors and ocean tribunal, got together and created this academy for us high school supernaturals.
The uniforms are ridiculous, and I hate them with a passion. They must have put a man in charge of them as they are definitely someone's sick fantasy. The pleated royal blue and gold skirts, black tall socks, black loafers, button up white shirts with royal blue blazers and gold ties have me feeling like I'm staring in some kind of porno.
I mean the academy itself is amazing, and probably a good idea with how often we exposed ourselves to humans in the past at normal schools. It's just these uniforms that drive me insane. I don't particularly like being away from home for so long either, but the classes here are amazing. I can learn everything I need to know about being a siren and a dragon all at once. We have all kinds of kids here, shadow hunters, fairies, werewolves, vampires, elves, you name it, and they attend this academy. Of course, the rarer the creature, the fewer classes offered to them.
Like there's only about 5 seers out of the thousands of kids here. They mingle with the Oracle wolves and seer wolves. My brother Gabriel teaches some intro to seeing classes here. He loves being close to me and sharing what he learned through the years with others. Gabriel's always been a sweet and caring person. He just wants to help the world.
"Alright little moon, are you ready to go?" Dad asked me from my doorway. His shaggy blonde hair was unruly today, sticking up in random places.
Between his and mom’s blonde hair there was no way I’d end up with any other color. The only question was whether I’d get dad’s silver eyes or mom’s emerald green ones. I ended up with mom’s which helped in keeping my siren side more of a surprise. Most have those deep gray eyes. No, everyone will just think I’m a dragon until my siren pops out.
“Ready.” I nodded.
“Okay then, portal travel it is. Here, you get the pearl this year.” He threw me the pearl he uses to open the portals. “You do remember how to use it, right?”
“Are you serious?” I asked excitedly, almost jumping for joy. “Of course I remember! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Just remember to use it to come see us on the weekends. We miss you when you’re at school,” Dad said, giving me a big hug. “Go say goodbye to your mother and then open the portal outside. I’ll help you take your things to campus.”
I practically flew down the stairs towards mom, who was sitting at the kitchen Island listening to her friend Zae on the phone. Zae is the mother of the two closest friends I have, Augustus and Ares. We’ve pretty much grown up together with how often our mothers saw each other.
“Auggie doesn’t think I know, but of course I know. Funny what they think they can get away with.” Mom and Zae both laughed at that.
“Hilarious. Hey, I’m going to let you go, Nova just came down to say goodbye. We’ll catch up more after the kids are at school.”
“Sounds good, later skater.” With that, the line went dead.
“Are you heading out already?” Mom asked me.
“Yeah, Dad gave me the pearl so I can portal back on the weekends. I will be back to bother you before you know it.”
“Good. I love you, Nova. Stay safe, keep away from the vampires, and make sure to stay away from the dragon boys, who are ready to sleep their way through the school to find their mates.”
“I know, mom, don't worry.”
“You can say that all you like, but I’m going to worry.”
“Goodbye, Mom, I love you.” I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and ran outside to open the portal.
I pulled at the moisture in the air until I had a large circle of water. Holding the pearl in my hand, I used the water to create a ring in the air, opening the portal before me. I could see the large archway with intricate laced metal holding up the academy’s lettering. I saw the eyes of other students and parents looking through the portal at me.
“Let’s go, little moon.” Dad appeared by my side with my suitcases.
I followed him through the portal, feeling like I stepped through a waterfall, only I wasn’t wet when I emerged.
“I love you. Remember to go to your brother if any emergency occurs on campus, but let us know, too. You can always come home whenever you need.”
“Got it. Love you, Dad, now go before anything happens.” With our family chaos seems to follow when we’re around too many supernaturals.
Dad gave me a hug and kiss on the forehead before stepping back through the portal. I closed it behind him, feeling so happy to have the pearl this year. Now to just check in, get my dorm, my schedule, and settle in.

"Nova, wait up!"
I turned to find Andy running up the curving pathway towards me. She fell into step as she approached me.
"Are you ready for fire healing class? I'm looking forward to learning more about how to heal with fire. Not many can do that, you know?" She smiled, her black hair had grown a lot over the summer, flowing neatly below her shoulder blades. She has uncle's Ash's same sky blue eyes, but her mother's elven beauty, with rosy red lips.
"Shi.t today's Wednesday? I don't know why my brain thought it was Thursday. I grabbed the wrong books." I groaned in complaint. "Ugh, I'll be right back. Save me a seat?" I asked her, running back towards my dorm.
"Sure thing!" She smiled, only showing me her beauty further.
I ran up to the second floor, where my dorm was. Seniors get first floor, juniors second, sophomores third, and freshmen fourth. I could hear low moans coming from the direction of my room. I swear I just left, how the hell did Jessica get a guy in there already?
"Harder, Gus, harder!" I could hear her yell through the door.
Dammit, Augustus, I told you not to fu.ck my roommate.
Augustus is the biggest playboy around. If she's beautiful, he's fu.cked her. With those long curls, golden eyes, and strong features, there's no girl that doesn't fall prey to his charms and good looks.
I heard Jessica moan again. I swallowed hard, fighting off the curiosity of how it would feel to be under Augustus. I banged on the door, unable to open it.
"Hey, as.sholes, I need my books!" I yelled at them through the door.
The moaning didn't stop, letting me know they weren't planning on ending it for my sake.
"Hey!" I continued banging on the door, until books emerged at my feet from the shadows. He, Ares, and their younger sister, Jesse, have the best control of their shadows than any other shadow weaver here.
"Not the right ones, Augustus." I told him, seeing them disappear, another set taking its place. "Thanks a lot jacka.ss."
I had a sudden anger rise in me. I'll have to handle it later though. I'll let him know exactly how badly he messed up. I grabbed the books running across campus to the fire building.
The orangey red building could be seen anywhere on campus. The tall ever burning fire on the roof, showed just what kind of creatures took classes there, phoenixs, fire elves, dragons, and Kobolds (fire faes). Some classes are specific to each species, while others teach us all how to wield fire in general. I rushed past the main door, bumping into a couple of people as I ran.
"Sorry!" I yelled back, not turning around.
I made it with a couple minutes to spare. I can't be late on the first day of this class. Andy flagged me down, of course, sitting at the front row. I shouldn't have asked her to save me a seat. I slapped my forehead, wiping my hand down my face in complaint. I dragged my feet over to her, taking the spot between her and some dark haired hottie. Okay, so maybe this won't be so bad. Andy immediately grabbed a loose strand of my blonde hair, pinning it back into my loose, low bun.
"Thanks." I smiled at her.
"I was worried you wouldn't make it. I'm surprised you didn't portal." She smiled back.
"I forgot the stupid pearl in the room." Damn this morning.
"Sounds like you." She laughed.
"Shut up, I'm not that bad." I laughed knowing that was a bold face lie.
"Who do you think grandpa Nate got to teach this class?" She asked me curiously, staring at the back door where the teacher would enter. Grandpa Nate took over as the dragon councilman last year, helping in the creation of this academy.
"No clue." I shrugged.
"It's Vanora Lincraft." Dark haired hottie butted into our conversation.
"As in the Vanora Lincraft, of the original dragon family?" Andy sounded so excited.
"The one and only." His pink lips curved into a smile.
He had shaggy short black hair, pale skin, and narrowed eyes. He had a strong jaw and a serious, mischievous look about him. He gave Andy a little smirk, that only made me find him sexy. Right when I was going to say something Ms. Lincraft walked in, announcing the start of class. I could feel the power radiating from her. Her dragon was strong, causing Ryoko, my dragon, to stir inside me. Ryoko loved to challenge anyone strong, getting me in trouble a lot. Thankfully we were strong and well trained, beating most everyone we challenged.
"Good morning, and welcome to healing fire class. Considering there is a whole class for this singular fire, you can be sure that healing fire is the hardest to master. I'm here to teach you and guide you into mastering this in just one semester. We're hitting the ground running!" She looked out over the rows of seats at each of us. She crossed her arms, leaning back on the edge of her desk. "Who here has had some experience with healing magic before?"
Andy and I were the only ones to raise our hands. She eyed us, appraising us by just our looks. She arched a brow, probably suspicious of our claims.
"Why don't you two come join me up here for a demonstration?" She motioned for us to come up.
Andy stood up right away, her positive demeanor kept her from seeing what this really is. She's testing us, our ability, our power, our resolve, our guts, all of it. I sighed, but followed Andy to the front.
"Which one of you has more experience in healing?" She asked us.
"Nova has the most experience with healing fire." Andy quickly responded, thinking she was helping.
"Perfect, let's see it." She smiled. I was about to ask her what I'd be healing when she slashed Andy's arm open.
My siren surfaced, hissing at her, with dragon scales and talons out. Her eyes widened in surprise for just a moment before she shook her head at me.
"You better hurry and save your friend before she bleeds out." She pointed to Andy, who looked a little gray now.
I quickly refocused my anger, remembering everything that grandpa Nate taught me. I casted the same green fire, focusing all my healing magic inside of it. I placed it over Andy, making her wound heal. It was taking too long, and she was losing blood faster than the wound was closing. Ms. Lincraft stood beside me, placing her hand over mine and guiding my magic further. Andy's wound healed in less than a minute after that.
"What the hell is the matter with you?!" I snapped at her, not frieghtened by the fact that she was a teacher.
"Your magic needs improvement, although you're further ahead than I thought you'd be. Your friend was never in any real trouble. I would have healed her, if you couldn't," she explained, like that made it okay.
"Thank you, Ms. Viseron. I'm already aware of your magic, thanks to your father. And just so you know, you're further ahead than Ms. Boyd here, so don't sell yourself short." Ms. Lincraft got one last dig in on me before sending us to our seats.
'Let's challenge her. I'm sure I could take her!' Ryoko suggested.
'That's a terrible idea, and you know it.' I scolded her. 'We can't challenge a teacher. Besides I know you're strong, but you're not original-dragon-descendant strong, so cool your jets there.'
"I think I'm going to hate this class." I murmured when we sat back down.
"Don't hate it on my account." Andy smiled. "I think I'm going to enjoy it."
"Of course you will." I sighed.
This is going to be a long semester.
Augustus' P.O.V."Harder, Gus, Harder!" The dark haired beauty beneath me screamed. Fu.ck, what was her name again? Janet? Jennifer? It starts with a J, I know that for sure.I thrusted deep inside of her, filling her as much as I could, till I grazed her cervix. She moaned in pleasure, swaying her hips against me. "Hey, as.sholes, I need my books!" I heard Nova's familiar voice. Shi.tI thought she was gone. Dammit, she's going to talk my ear off later. Fu.ck. I didn't stop though, the feel of Janice's p*ssy was too good to leave right now. She continued to moan, not caring that Nova was at the door."Hey!" She continued banging on the door. I know she's not going to go away until she gets what she needs. I looked around, finding some books beside her bed. I sent them to her shadow on the other side of the door. "Not the right ones, Augustus." Dammit. She said Augustus, she's pissed. I took back the ones I sent, sending out another stack. "Thanks, Jacka.ss." Shi.t I'm in trouble
Jesse's P.O.V. "Are you just as strong as your brothers?" Lana asked me, whispering to me as she looked at my brother's on the last row above us in class."We are each stronger than one another in one way or another, but we're pretty equal overall." I told her, remembering the countless hours of training we’d do everyday. Dad even gave me tips and tricks that the others didn't have. They have a year more of training than me, given their age, but dad made sure I was on the same level as them. "That's awesome. My shadows are so slow, and probably not the strongest, so I'm really excited to learn. I wonder if I could be as strong as you guys by the end of the semester." She smiled Excitedly. I laughed in her face at that last statement."It'll take years of 3 hour daily sessions of training to get to where we are now, but by the time you reach this strength we'll be stronger. Sorry Lana, but there's no catching up. The difference is already too vast." It sounds harsh, I know, but it'
Ares' P.O.V.I knew she would drive us hard, but I didn't foresee just how sore I'd be after. May has always been a bit of a sadistic teacher. I think she enjoyed seeing people struggle and work hard to reach their potential. She's a good person though, you could ask anyone and they'd tell you how sweet and capable she was. I pulled my phone out, feeling it buzz in my pocket. Nova had texted. It's not really like her to text so early in the day. Nova: We need to talk about the slut you call a brother. Me: What'd he do now?Nova: My roommate! Bring him here.Nova was pissed. There was always one rule that we had imposed on Augustus' sleeping habits. Never with our close friends, or with our roommates. Seems he was running out of new people to fu.ck if he was tempted enough to break the rule. "Sorry, you've been summoned." I told him, grabbing him and sending us to Nova. I looked around, noticing she was in the sanctioned fighting arena. Anytime you have a problem with someone on c
Nova's P.O.V. Fu.ck him! I was still so upset, and oddly very hurt. I let Ryoko take over and fly us around campus, taking us to the siren side of the academy. She rushed us towards the water, shifting with me as we dove down from the sky into the water. The shift was seamless, from my dragon to my siren. It was as easy as taking a deep breath. I swam down to the bottom of the lake where I knew I'd find Emanuel. Emanuel was a sea witch I'd met last school year. It was the first year the school had opened and everyone was so cliquey, still kind of are. I found Emanuel alone at the bottom of the lake when I was exploring. Sea witches aren't exactly the most liked creatures, but he was different. He was kind and caring despite the hate he received. He was a year younger than me, a sophomore this year. "Hey, what brings you down here?" He smiled at me when he saw me. His large purple fin had grown since last year. His teeth were sharper and his muscles larger. "Just needed to see a f
Augustus' P.O.V.I sat in the shadow realm trying to calm my anger. I can't believe she humiliated me like that in front of everyone during the first week, just because I slept with her roommate. She's blowing it way out of proportion. That chick, although hot, was not worth all this. 'Think less with your d*ck.' Sombra laughed at me. 'Be less of a d*ck.' I retorted. 'You'll be fine, just be a man and go talk to her.' Sombra was right as usual. I pulled her shadow door forward watching her slip a shirt over head. She's too damn beautiful to be shifting into her siren that causes her to lose her clothes. Some as.shole is going to watch her like a sick perv."Sorry, you had said you were done." Ares apparently is that sick perv today. I felt my blood boil with Bane's phoenix fire inside me."It's fine. I was done. It's just a bra Arie, don't freak out on me." She shoved his shoulder lightly. Is she flirting with him?"I'm not freaking out. I just don't want to disrespect you, Nova."
Jesse's P.O.V."Did you move the shadow off us for a moment?" I asked Damon, having felt exposed for a second. "Wouldn't dream of it. No one else gets to see this body of yours." He nibbled at my earlobe. His hand squeezed at my neck lightly, applying just the smallest amount for pressure. His other hand was sliding under my bra now, reaching for my n*pple. He didn't waste time, shoving me between these buildings, out of nowhere, and pinning me against the wall. He said it was time for my punishment. I felt the thrill through my body, arousing me. He kissed me furiously, leaving my lips puffy and bruised, almost. He bit at my lip, but never enough to draw blood. "You ready for your punishment?" He looked me dead in the eyes. I nodded and he squeezed harder around my neck. "Use your words." "Yes." I moaned. He gave me that wicked smirk he gets when he's about to be a good kind of rough with me. I felt the excitement pool in my stomach, leaking out between my thighs. He turned me a
Ares' P.O.V."I'm sorry, I can't do more to help Nova." I told her, getting up from the floor. We'd spent the last 30 or 40 minutes just talking. She was telling me how she was feeling. We were talking about Augustus, reminiscing on the times we were kids. Our next classes start soon. She and August have general fire training together, while I'm in the seer building with grandma Ramona."You've done plenty. Thank you, Arie." She smiled at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. Nova was a very affectionate friend, always touching and hugging when she could. Even though she's done it all our lives, it still surprises me when she shows me random affection. "I'll see you later for lunch." I told her, knowing it for a fact. She'll be with the sea witch. "See you then." She waved as I traveled through the shadows to the seer building. I am literally the only shadow weaver that goes to the small seer building. I've always loved the way the stars reflect off the gla
Nova's P.O.V.I was the first to arrive at fire battle class, having used my water portal. I grabbed my pearl after talking with Ares. He always seems to calm me. He has a way of getting me to talk things through, seeing them in a new light. I don't know how he does it, but I do feel better after talking with him…after admitting how I feel about Augustus. "Hey, can we talk?" Augustus' voice came from beside me. He shadow weaved into the chair to the right of me."About what?" I made sure to sound irritated, and he sighed, slouching back in his chair. "You're so difficult. Look, I know I messed up, okay?" "Is that your way of apologizing? Because it's seriously lacking." I snarked. "See, difficult." He shook his head. "I don't know if you know this, Auggie, but in order to apologize you actually have to say I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes at him. "How about I say I fu.cked up?" He asked, looking at me with pleading eyes. I could see the worry in them. He was worried about us, about
