Bedelia stared at those last words 'Sincerly Ms. Pleiades' This couldn't be true; especially not when "she" had just disappeared last night. Which must mean that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. Or maybe it was all some kind of sick prank that Beth had set up.
No; Beth couldn't make people disappear like that. She was probably just going crazy; which wasnt good either. 'Urggh!' She sighed in frustration; why was this happening to her. The letter didnt even say where the Academy was; the letter only said when to be there. It also said to answer within the 10th of August; how was she gonna do that if she didnt know how to sent her letter.
Life really had to be hard; nothing ever seemed easy.
Then an idea popped up in Bedelias head; god this was stupid.
Oh well; worth a try. Bedelia quickly found a pen and a piece of paper. She wrote down;

Dear Ms. Pleiades, i would very much like to know more about this Academy of yours; or well more precisely where it is and how to get there. And if i join your Academy; what do i tell me mother about this?

Sincerely Bedelia Paris Rose.

After she was done writing; she laid the letter on her balcony. She didnt want to sit there and wait like an idiot; so she decided to change into something else and get breakfast instead.
She changed in to a long flowered dress and went downstairs.

When she got downstairs her mother was already awake and was standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast. "Goodmorning mom" Bedelia said in a low voice as she hugged her mother from behind. "Morning, are your hand feeling better?" Her mother asked; still cooking scrambled eggs. 'Mmhhmm' Bedelia hummed as a yes; even though her hand hadn't hurt at all.
Then she realized; the fork hadn't been a dream or a imagination; it had been real. "I still font get how it could have been so hot" Her mother then said; pulling Bedelia out of her thoughts. Bedelia nodded softly "Me neither" she said: even though she was fairly aware now; she had done it. And Ms. Pleiades had also told her how; Bedelia was an Hyperoin.

"I'll be back in a minute, i just need to pee" Bedelia said without any emotion showing. "Okay then" her mother said and Bedelia quickly ran up the stairs, but instead of going to the bathroom; she ran straight to her balcony.
She looked down at where her letter had been. It was now replaced by another letter. She quickly took it up in her hands and opened it. In the letter stood;

Dear Bedelia, i am very happy to hear from you. To answer your questions.

1. You just go to the nearest train station and knock on the doors 3 times, then say "Polux" you'll see why. The train is called 'The Pleiades Express' it'll lead you to the scholl in Scotland

2. I'll talk to your mother about it; she'll believe its a boarding school to get new friends; she won't suspect anything.

Ms. Pleiades

It seamed like this lady had done it a thousand times before; which probably was the case. Suddenly it hit Bedelia; this was in 2½ weeks. Which meant she had talk to her mother; or Ms. Pleiades had to.

She walked downstairs again to see her mother reading a letter. Right when Bedelia walked up to her mother; she looked up. "Come look sweetie" her mother said excited. Her mother handed her the letter. It said;

Dear Juliette and Bedelia.
I am writing to inform you that Bedelia has been accepted to my boarding school.
The year starts the 21th of August and your replie i expected to be given within the 10th of August.
The scholl is placed in Scotland and Bedelia will be taking our train to there.

Sincerely Ms. Pleiades

Bedelia nodded pleased; she really knew how to make it believable. "Well that's amazing" Bedelia said and smiled. Her mother looked like she was on the edge of tears, but still smiling brightly. "What's wrong?" Bedelia asked confused. "I'm just going to miss you" Her mother said. "Aww ma', im going to miss you too" Bedelia said and hugged her mother tightly.
And that's how they stayed for 5 minutes before breaking apart. "It's going to be fine, okay?" Bedelia said with a soft smile. "Yeah" Her mother said and nodded. "Now go pack, its only in two weeks" her mother said and gave Bedelia a soft push. "Yeah okay" Bedelia nodded gratefully.

Bedelia jogged up the stairs to her her room. She bagan packing dresses and skirts, plus other summer clothes. And in a other suit case she packed winter clothes; mostly because it's really cold in Scotland in the winter. Then it hit her; the winter clothes she had wasn't warm enough for Scotland.
"MOMM!! I NEED WINTER CLOTHES" she shouted down to her mother. "Come sweetie, we're going shopping"

And they really did; Bedelia got a blue winter coat and black dc. Martins with fur in. She also got a ton of sweaters and warm jogging pants. As well as a new scarf, new winter hat and gloves.
And when she got home she had to use three suitcases for all the clothes she was bringing. 'Phfffff' Bedelia sighed; it really had been some of a day. She then realized what the clock had goten; 7 o'clock. She hadnt even eaten dinner yet. But she soon did "dinners ready!" Her mother called.

Bedelia runned down the stairs and into the dining room. "Im here" Bedelia said. Her mother chuckled and said. "I can see. Come on sit down" Bedelia grinned "I will" Bedelia said and sat down.

When they where done eating Bedelia went straight to bed; she fell asleep immediately.
'She was running through the forest; was dark snd foggy. She was running from something but she didn't know what. All she knew was that she was running for her life.
She heard the moss under her shoes. She realized she was wearing a black fitted training suit.
She then heard a growl from behind; she felt her legs weaken and her breath fading. She couldnt run much further; she had to get up higher. She stopped by the first, highest tree she came to; and began climbing.
She got up on a high sitting, thick branch. She was sitting hidden behind leaves. She pressed her back far up against the trunk and pressed her eyes closed. She sat holding her breath when; when she heard something growling beneath her. She prayed that it couldn't see her. She heard the creature walking around on the moss and leaves; on the ground.
She opened her eyes slightly and looked downwards, but she couldn't see it. Or at least not until it stepped in to sight. She gasped slightly, but corved her mouth with her hand. The creature was black and furry; it didn't look like any animal she had ever seen. Its head was round and it standing on its hind legs. Its front legs looked slightly shorter than its hind legs. Its eyes was yellow and shone. The creature was larger than two people together. Shit.
Suddenly it looked directly into Bedelia eyes and she began feeling dizzy. What was it doing? She felt her heart beating faster and faster; it was gonna burst if it continued. She couldn't breathe and her sight began flickering. She tried to look away to make it stop, but she couldn't. Her heart was still beating faster by the second. And then it all turned dark.
