Scarlet Knight

'You think she's gonna wake up ?'

'Yeah eventually ,she isn't dead ,Dad didn't kill remember ? I'm sure she's just tired from the long drive '

My heart was beating quite fast and loud I could swear they could here it .

Their voices had woken me up they didn't seem to me to be maids ,Maids wouldn't make so much noise .

I tried to maintain a steady breathing rhythm and not to twitch my eyes .

They'd said Dad "dad didn't kill her"

Surely they weren't talking about my uncle , probably not I hoped.

I felt one of them lean towards my face ,a strong rich sent engulfed me but was gone before I could even begin to decipher it .

'She's pretty ' one of them said

'A mixture of her mom and dad. '

'Whatever we better get going before she wakes I'm sure she'd be freaked out to see us here '.

'True enough .'

I needed to know who they were I feigned a yawn and began to open my eyes in pretence of waking up stretching my hands above my head on the soft mattress.

'Shit ! .She's waking up. '

' Dispersium ! '

My eyes flew open and were just about adjusting to the light. I'd almost snapped my neck turning towards the direction of their voices. What the hell had happened ? . Where had they gone to ?.

Looking around I felt a sense of sickness overwhelm me , turns out I was alone in the room after all , but I was sure I'd heard voices.

Sitting up quickly I got off the bed in my large room or should I say suite ,it would be ridiculous to even think of comparing my room back at the orphanage and here .

Last night's maid had told me she'd be taking care of me her name as I recall was Pearly ,Pearly Adams .

Still with the uneasy feeling I put on my fluffy black slippers and explored my suite ,it was beautiful ,with lovely gray and black decorations those where my colours . Most of the clothes I owned were of dark shades with just a few exceptions .Some could call me a tomboy but that wasn't the case ,it just so happened that the first name I could pronounce correctly was the name of a man who didn't know much about girly shopping, though I never had a problem with boyish clothes .I had a long mop of black wavy hair, gray irises and a darker shade of pupils , to be honest my eye color sometimes made me feel uneasy .

Ringing the bell I'd been asked to ring whenever I needed the maid,I continued exploring my suite .

Chandeliers , carpets,drapes , a cozy parlor a jacuzzi, a room with a big screen I assumed would be some sort of cinema hall or the likes of it. A little library ,with a good variety of books about stuff like witches ,vampires and many other crazy imaginary stuff that probably didn't exist.

'Miss ? '

I heard Pearly call out for me from my bed room.

'Coming '

Uncle M had said I was gonna have the day for myself to prepare for school . He'd equally said he wouldn't be around so I should get acquainted with cousins first .

Pearly helped me get ready for the day as we spoke I soon found out my cousins names were Maxwell ,Sylvia and Jeremy.

Maxwell was more of the school's golden boy type while Sylvia were the twenty four hours party going type I'd seen brief portraits of them last night as I was lead to my room i could definitely say they had good looks .

Once I was completely set ,Pearly ushered me to the breakfast room,yes it turns out they didn't take breakfast ,lunch and super in the same place ,I mean such extravagance was uncanny . Honestly , all of this felt like too much to me I had so many questions brooding in my head ,starting with who I really was and what the hell I'd gotten into . We were almost there when I heard those voices again , the same voice's that had woken me up that morning. Pearly gave me a worried look she must have noticed my uneasiness .I gave he a fake reassuring smile to make her feel like nothing was wrong .

As soon as I entered the the breakfast room they stopped talking and stared at me ,my uncle which I seemed to continuously forget was now my sad , was nowhere to be seen .

' Hello ' I said taking in their Looks 'can I join you ?'

'Of course you can don't be silly ' Maxwell said smiling at me like I was being paranoid . Turns out he was even more handsome .

Sylvia was still staring blankly at me when I took the sit across hers while Jeremy was busily tapping on is phone , well that was rude .

Maxwell was busily eating so i took that as my cue to pile my plate with all the tasty looking food on the table ,they must have an extremely good cook . I was chewing on a particular juicy piece of bacon when Sylvia's question made me almost choke .

' So you've never casted a spell before huh ? '

Struggling to swallow my meal without disgracing my self any further ,I looked at her wondering if she was aiming at a joke . She looked utterly serious even a little bit disgusted I should say . Surely she didn't like my forceful swallowing skills nor the manner in which I'd piled my plate .

'What do you mean by a spell ?'

' A spell .'

She said with look that said "duh"

Deciding to keep my fork down before I pierced my self to check if I was dreaming, I answered her looking straight into her eyes , I didn't appreciate people looking at me like I was crazy when they were the once who were obviously crazy and they didn't even know me at that .

'No I have never casted a spell ,I don't know if this is some sick joke but I'd like to continue eating up my breakfast ,got any problem with that ? ' I added a silkily sweet smile at the end showing of my perfectly white teeth ,that seemed to have earned Jeremy's attention for I could feel him staring at me like I'd developed another face at the side of my head .

Sylvia on the other hand seemed slightly taken aback before schooling her features into a rather unsettling smile .

She pursed her lips ,then said to me

'Sure I got a problem .'

I hadn't seen that coming .Neither did I know what was coming next.

'Elevar '

The next moment I felt my butt lift up from my chair What the f**k was going on .

I tried holding the table for support while my heart beat rate sped up .

I looked at Maxwell for help since he'd seemed to be the most sensible of all ,only for me to find him smiling at my suspending form .

'What is going on ? ' I tried keeping my voice calm,I didn't want them to know they were scaring the shit out of me with their sick smiles. My mind was racing to all rational explanations possible but I couldn't find any .I didn't feel any strings attached to my body all I felt was a sense of lightness .

Suddenly my body soared up and I was stuck to the ornately decorated ceiling just beside the chandelier . I stayed calm I didn't speak for if I did it'd be obvious that I was panicked.

'My problem is that tomorrow you'll be going to a school full of supernatural kids and weirdos and you don't even know what a spell is .'

What the fuck was she talking about a school for the Supernatural ?

Surely I should be dreaming that would be more logical .

I'll simply close my eyes , count to five and find my self in my room.
