1 Jail Time

I am stuck in jail. The constant noise of dripping water annoys me. I see her looking at me with beautiful green eyes. She stands up and walks next to me.

"Well you are a sore sight", she says.

"Stay away demon", I shout.

"If you are here so are you", she says mockingly.

I stood up and punched the back wall. I was sharing a cell with a creature I was taught to despise all my life.

"I know a way to get out of here.", she whispers in my ear.

"Why should I listen to you?".

"What you want to listen to humans instead?"

"Yes! I am one after all."

She clenches my collar. "No, you are not bastard".

A sudden pain hits me behind my head. It felt like a thousand volts felt over my head. She finally lets go. I collapse on the floor.

"What are you?" I ask as I pick myself up.

"Half-elf"

As I look at her it becomes obvious. She lacks typical elf ears but her olive skin tone is a definite give away. How I managed to overlook this baffles me. She has beautiful brown hair with blonde highlights.

"Stop looking at me like that you're a drunk pervert or what !"

I immediately look the other way blushing furiously.

She gives an annoying giggle. " I am Rose by the way".

" Nathan" I murmur.

"They'll come tonight get some sleep". She says as she rolls over and sleeps. I sit up against the wall. I start staring at a crack in the wall thinking about who'll come and how much my life has changed in the last twelve hours.

Surprisingly I too fall asleep.

I dream about Emma. First day of college. My mom kissed me goodbye and declared how proud she was of me. As I walked in the college gate I was awestruck. There was a huge plaza packed with hundreds of students walking around. There were shops after shops running parallel to each other. The more I walked the more intrigued I was. It was the biggest shopping plaza that sold magic after all and it was only accessible to students and top knights around the world. And at the end of all the shops was a castle with "United Naidu College" written on the wall.

It was there where I saw Emma. She sat there with a couple of people with one of them holding a camera and the other interviewing her. It was understandable since she was royalty and next to the throne. Furthermore she got top marks in the entrance exams of UNC, the best college to become a knight and of course, she was the most beautiful girl of our year.

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"She's at it again," says Michael gleefully.

"Mike let's go to class"

"She's in my class".

I walked with Mike to my class. Unlike Emma and Mike who were in class 1-1, I was in 1-3. Not a class for the best and not for the worst. The word for it is average. Average is all I aspired to me.

Nothing special nothing bad. I was satisfied by being average since I always knew I never had the talent they had.

"My class is a bit ahead, bye" said Mike as he trods along.

I took a seat unaware that in a few hours knights and officers will handcuff me and throw me in prison.

I wake up to an explosion and I can see Rose smiling.

"They are here".
