Chapter 11 - Pt 1
Arousing Sunday morning, I glance around my surroundings strangely before letting loose a sigh when I remember where I am. Rolling to my side, I contemplate on what to do today.
I have no one to hang out with since the twins are in England. And I know absolutely no one else here. Well, except Devon. But he doesn’t count.
Releasing a whine, I sit up and stare at the time on my alarm. It reads 7:30 am, and now I'm wondering why the hell I woke up so early. The house isn’t soundproof so I overhear as Eva moves around downstairs, deciding to hop into the shower I have a quick wash before dressing up in cut-off shorts, my black fingerless gloves, and a loose pink top. Heading downstairs my stomach grumbles in hunger, and I wonder what would be good to eat.
As soon as my feet touches the last stair, I raised my head to see Eva sitting on a couch in the living room, her nose buried

My other roommates were certainly not what I was expecting, though am not even sure what I was expecting. Tiffany, Beatrice, and Camille are brunette’s, and all 5’11ft tall. While Tiff -as she instructed me to call her- has dark chocolate brown eyes with warm beige skin tone, an upturned nose, angular cheekbones and too full lips, Camille has natural blonde highlights in her hair with angular and sharp features, piercing green eyes, and oval-shaped lips. As for Beatrice, she has golden-brown skin, soft light brown eyes, a straight nose and small bow-shaped lips. They’re dressed from head to toe in black and look ready to kill. I don’t mean that appealingly. The most startling thing about them though is the large muscles outlining their body, they even have 6 pack abs. I know this because they showed me, and long toned legs. They’re also incredibly loud, and in the past few minutes that they’ve be

Somehow, word travelled about me being Steven’s daughter. I don’t know-how, or why, but Rae came bustling into our dorm later in the afternoon with her I-pad and showed me a blog website within an app. Surprisingly, the blog had the name of the same app Eva referred to this morning. For a second, I wondered if she’d been the one to share the news, then I saw the date and time the blog was posted and knew it was doubtful considering the blog was already up since noon. The website had over 500,000 followers, and the blog has garnered a lot of attention, every second someone was remarking on how stunned they are or how suspicious they’ve been since they found that I lived with him. Then to make things worse, they brought up articles of my parents died and I couldn’t even look at the I-pad anymore. The app, called E-Net, is a social app created by some young elemental wishing to be t

Rousing felt like too much work, and a moan of dismay slipped out of my lips to see bright clouds in the clear blue sky through my window. Blue skies usually puts good feelings in people, so why does today feel hopeless. I’m distracted when my bedroom door is nudged open slowly, and I brought up my head slightly to see a large man push his head through cautiously. Piaget blue eyes gaze at my sprawled form in concern. “I’m glad to see you awake, you doing okay after yesterday?” Running a hand through my hair, I release a sigh and shake my head. “I’m fine Steven, a slight sense of what elemental society is like isn’t going to break me.” Yet. Slowly stepping in, he nudges the door wider and smiles. “If you say so, but just so you know you can skip school today if you aren’t feeling up to it?” “No thanks,” I immediately refuse

The rest of my day is pretty uneventful if you don’t count me almost getting into a fistfight with some platinum blonde in my first class. My first class happened to be History of Elemental’s and we got a pretty funny introduction from our student/teacher. Evan Mack, a 3rd-year earth elemental conjurer is substituting for our real teacher this semester because she’s on maternity leave. According to Evan, a few seniors will act as substitutes or teaching assistants for extra credits, which helps pave a way for students who want to work for the council to become scouted as recruit members if their results are excellent. In my first class, I made two friends, and the three of us not only bonded over our immediate dislike for the platinum blonde who had verbally bullied Lillian in class, but also on our fascination with the history behind society. One is called Lillian and she’s a beautiful dark-head whose very shy and seems like

The next morning, I unhurriedly rose to the sound of a door closing downstairs and pull open my heavy lids. Once again I didn’t get much sleep thanks to my night terrors, and I wonder why the hell they’re occurring again. Getting out of bed with an exhausted sigh, I make my way out of my room and head straight to the bathroom with my toiletries. Setting up my stuff alongside the others, I brush my teeth and enjoy a short shower under the hot spray. Back in my room I get dressed in my uniform and check the time on my I-pad, it’s 7:20 am which means I still have time to kill so I head downstairs after opting to throw my full, wavy curls into a bun. Downstairs, Eva is eating a bowl of cereal at the dining table dressed as well for school. “Good morning.” I yawn, tired and drowsy. “Good morning,” She echo’s, peering at me she studies my face with a frown. “Didn&rsquo

The hot flames surround my body and sting my skin, it's choking presence burning my nostrils. My lungs are begging for me not to breathe as it gets clogged with fuming smoke, but I can’t help it. Crawling out from underneath my mother’s desk, I look around in a panic, coughing into my hands weakly, before opening my mouth to cry for help. I can hear the shrieking alarm of a fire truck and the shrilling sound of police cars from the streets through broken windows, I can even hear the terrified screams and shouts of the people living in our apartment building, but what I can’t seem to hear are the voices of my parents. That thought alone scares the hell out of me and I panic some more. I make a move to stand to my feet despite my buckling knees, but before I can even make it up, I’m suddenly engulfed in flames as the roof above me gives out.~*~*~*~ I slowly aw

“Then what the hell was that back there?” He sighs. “I had to pacify her so she would leave,” Running his hands through his hair he lets out a groan. “Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way.” “Is she a friend of mum’s?” “Was, she was friends with both me and your mother but that used to be a long time ago.” Suddenly, I remember the photograph at his place and realize the auburn-haired female turned away from the camera must have been Miss Rosa. Though, that doesn’t explain why she appears familiar to me. “What happened?” Shaking his head, he presses his lips together. “I, honestly don’t want to talk about the past.” “But-” “Coral, if I can respect y
