All Chapters of The witch caught between two rivals : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

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?

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
