Chapter 1~ The Letter

AN: Hi guys! A quick note, we are thinking of updating weekly or more often. It means a lot you've even clicked on this book. From the group, THANK YOU! Now let's not get bored an lets' go. Sorry it took so long!

WARNING: Mentions of Trauma and Abuse.

Aries POV

"ARIES! Get your ass down here, you've got mail!"

I groaned, It was bad enough that I was abused by this crazy woman, but waking up early? 

"ITS FROM THE ACADEMY!!" My "mother" yelled.
I got up, the academy? YES! It's my one chance to get out of here. I threw on my shirt and walked out of my "room", it was just an attic, but it was better than nothing. She wasn't always a bitch, until my foster dad died, she was nice and caring but after his funeral she was drinking and smoking. I tried to protect my foster sibling, Draco. He was only 14, he was too young to see this. I walked in the living room and snatched the letter from my foster mother.

"Thanks," I grumbled. I took a breath before opening the letter that would decide my fate.

To Mr. Aries Ram.
To whomever it may concern, Mr. Aries Ram has been selected to be enrolled into Celestial Academy, due to his amazing abilities we see it fit to be enrolled into our prestigious academy. All expenses are paid, he will be starting school the coming Monday. Please be ready as a car will be coming to pick him up.

"I got in," I blurted out. I looked up to my mother and to my surprise she was crying. "Why are you crying?"

"Oh, Aries, I'm still a mother, I'm proud," She broke down into another wave of sobs. "Now go pack," She ordered.

Monday? That's tomorrow. Oh shit, tomorrow! I walked into the attic and looked at what little belongings I had. I threw in my shirts and jeans into a suitcase. I didn't have much, I hope we get a fresh uniform.

Taurus POV

"Ok children! Come get your mail!" I didn't get why they announced every time someone got mail, it just reminded the rest of us in the orphanage that we had nothing. And who even got mail? Like I know the people here encouraged us to apply to a school, because that would definitely help us "delinquents".

"Taurus Bull!" I froze, did the school reply? I quietly walked up to Ms. Sampson and picked up the letter. I noticed everyone was staring at me. I silently grabbed the letter and peeled the tape off the envelope.

To Mr Taurus Bull
To whomever it may concern, Mr Taurus Bull has been selected to be enrolled into Celestial Academy, due to his amazing abilities we see it fit to be enrolled in our prestigious academy. All expenses are paid, he will be starting school on Monday, please be ready as a car will be coming to pick him up.

"I was accepted," I murmured, I look up and see all the children stare at me with awe, this would be the first time any child from this orphanage had been accepted to such a prestigious school. I look across at Ms. Sampson to see her smiling at me. "Let's all give a big clap for Taurus," gesturing at me and then everyone starts clapping for me, some kids even crying and other kids staring at me with jealousy. I smile at them and go to my room to pack.

I can finally leave this tiny and dirty room. Damn I barely have any nice clothes. I throw my few clothes in my small suitcase and smile prepared to finally to leave the orphanage.

Gemini POV

I look outside a large window and see something hanging out of my mailbox. I never receive mail, could this be the academy's response? Can I finally leave this estate?
