CHAPTER TWO

TERRENCE

I watched as this large fat man kept rambling and shouting at me, he was the so called proprietor of the school, but all I felt like doing was punching his face in, I was still boiling in anger, I hated the fact that she was being treated like that, she was a person,how could they treat her that way, I couldn't stand it, at least that was the reason I kept repeating to myself, there was nothing else to this, I was just being nice, anyone else in my position would have done the same thing right.?, I was also humiliated, so he deserved it, I did it more for myself, it had nothing to do with her at all, I continued the debate in my mind until a loud clearing of the throat snapped me out of my reverie

"I was saying that this situation will never repeat itself again right Terrence" Jared said clenching his teeth

"Right" I say annoyed with the conversation "I'm sorry for what happened, I hope it never happens again"

"the deed has already been done and we have to face the consequences, mister McCall you are to observe a three week detention, and that is only because you didn't start the issue, but this is going in your permanent records"

I groaned inwardly, Father was not going to be pleased with this at all and all on my first day at this school, after a few more lines of 'no fighting in the school premises we were finally let out of the principal's office, I watched as Aurora hurried off refusing to acknowledge our presence and I felt badly hurt, I was about going after her when strong firm hands grabbed me from either side

" I don't know what you're playing at brother" Jared snarls " but I want to go home and I don't know about you, so please don't blow our chances by letting some pathetic common human girl distract you from what's really important, getting home"

I felt the rage blind me, how dare he call her pathetic, she was so much more than that, I knew it was wrong to feel so much anger and resentment towards my brother over a girl I'd just met, but I couldn't control my rage, I swung blindly at him and my punch caught him deftly in the jaw, he stumbled back for a minute and then he proceeded to tackle me to the ground, I tried in vain to break hold of his grip but he held onto me firmly, he gazed deeply into my eyes

"you are under some powerful dark magick, we need to get you to a healer as soon as possible" he says solemnly " and then we'll have a talk with your not so human crush, what's her name again?, oh yes, Aurora"

Hearing her name from his lips sends me over the top with rage, I shake violently, bucking like a bronco, trying desperately to break his grip but he doesn't waver and slowly he begins to chant

"Veir isi ion nakamura aesti sumni occcura" he says with utmost finality

My eyes begin to droop slowly and soon I am embracing the oncoming darkness

AURORA

I just couldn't stand it, so much in one day, I was in so much trouble, I didn't even wait to see if my troublesome cousin Salem had stuck around I just began running and running until I began to see the dreaded iron gates of the Fiero mansion, there I was met by the butler who was so flustered by my sweatyand dusty appearance he didn't say a word but quietly ushered me to my awaiting guardians and a smug looking Salem,

"why are you home so late" my aunt fumed " Salem's been telling me you've got boy troubles, is this why you've stayed back so late, just to hang out with some random boy?!"

"It's not like that at all aunty, I tried my best to avoid them, ended up getting three week's detention, got bullied by Salem and her boyfriend and the boy just stood up for us and ended up getting into trouble for us' I say, glaring at Salem while emphasizing every word

She began to murmur indecipherable words while her parents glared at her

"I thought you I warned you to stop hanging out with that riff raff but you chose not to listen" uncle half yells "instead you tried to pin this all on your cousin, you're grounded young lady, do you hear me!, grounded"

He began to spout out curses and yells out harsh words as aunt rushes us upstairs to our room to avoid his blind rage, when we get to the top of the stairs, Salem leans over and mutters in my ear

" you'll pay for this, useless wench" she says in my ear and storms off,

I wave her threat off and hurry to the comfort of room, I eat my dinner there not wanting to have to intrude on the family downstairs, its not like that they tell me off or ask me to leave during their family moments in fact they have been very supportive since the death of my parents and have not once complained of me being a burden to them except Salem of course, but I feel odd and out of water so I stay in my room when I can with my parents spirits to keep me company and I am quite comfortable with it, having grown accoustomed to the silence which was occasionally broken by rustling of the fir trees in the woods close to the mansion, it's like my own personal cubbyhole, but little did I know that my peaceful night was about to take a drastic turn, it started with a rustling in the woods and the constant nagging feeling that I was being watched, shakily I walked towards to the windows only to find the grounds empty, I was about breathing a sigh of relief when I spotted the twin glowing mesmerizing orbs that stared at me through the darkness, the scream was caught in my throat as the figure slowly retreated back into the shadows till it completely disappeared, I couldn't make out the figure but those eyes were burned into my memory, there was no way I was going to fall asleep tonight, not with the fear of being watched.

UNKNOWN

"Master, I have done as you have commanded once the girl is framed there will be no issues" I say in ecstasy

"Good'' a raspy voice echoes in my head " keep up the good work, I don't have to remind you of what happens if you fail me"

In an instant pain flits through my body

" a mere warning of what is to come if you fail me again" he rasps ''but continue and this will happen''

In another instant I am transported to a rebuilt realm created by me and my master, everything and everywhere is beautiful and down below the lesser creatures hail us like the gods we are, I cannot afford to fail my master, I was scared of the pain he could cause, but the rewards were enriching, I could not fail again, master would have all he needs for us to attain glory
