The car came to a halt.

"We have arrived at the school" Our driver informed.

A rush of panic swept across me. I grabbed my brother's hand. He turned to me smiling concerned.

"There is no need to worry. All Water Empires are so cool. You are going to be okay."

Empires. The word made me stiffen more. They are also a person like me, relax Ellie...

"Ellie, relax...." My brother said gripping my hand tight, "I have been going to Gagenoble Academy for a year now. Look at me. You will do well too...."

"This is not about doing well in school." I said nervously,"What if the Empires don't like me?"

"You are a sweet girl. Who's not going to like you?"

"Well, I am a Shadow. What if they hate me for it?" I asked getting out of our car.

"FYI, Empires are the race of people whose ancestors were a Vampire and Elemantalist. Shadows are people whose father is an Empire and Mother is a human. There is no difference between them" My brother Ethan said, shutting the car door behind. "If it makes you feel any good, I am a shadow too.....No one has ever bullied me for that"

I nodded and kept walking. Funny, Isn't it? Vampires can suck blood and have super speed. Elemantalists, on the other hand, have the power to control one of the elements – Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Sky. Meanwhile, the cross, Empires can suck blood and can control one of the elements but they are not blood thirsty like vampires. Empires only drink blood when it's necessary.

That's how it's been going on. In Earth, there are humans and Empires. Vampires and Elemantalists exist no more. But I couldn't tell the same for Calics. Calics is another planet. It's only of Empires who don't like humans.

Complete opposite, right? Anyway, We are forbidden to have contact with anyone in Calics.

"Earth to Ellie" Ethan said.

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Huh?"

"This is the entrance, Ellie. We can go inside only if we finish giving identification" Ethan said shooting confused glances at me.

I raised my head and saw the entrance. It was a black sparkly magic portal. Ethan kept his hand in the small square projection and it beeped green. He went inside and I kept my hand on the projection again. It beeped yellow and a hologram of an old man came. "Who are you?" He asked.

"I am Ellie Meltone. I am a Shadow and I have the ability to freeze things and sometimes time" I said timidly.

"Water Shadow" he said, "Interesting."

"Can I go in now?" I asked shrinking down.

"Of course, I think this is your first time coming to Gagenoble Academy. I assume, you are a first year?"

"Yes, sir"

The colour changed from yellow to green. I stepped inside.

It was breath taking. That's the word. The view was beautiful. I was standing in front of a huge black building. The floors were decorated with sliding doors. The lighting was gold. The school was surrounded by such greenery. It's really was so pleasing to the eyes. The structure was so modern.

I went inside. Ethan was nowhere in sight. "uh oh" I panicked. TICK. A message beeped on my phone. It was one from mom and dad. I opened the text.

Me: I came, dad and mom. I am fine. I ought to go now and find some friends. I will talk later.

Dad: ok, El

Mom: Sure, Ellie

I opened my camera and saw my reflection. My dark black hair was messed due to the wind. I fixed it and closed my blue eyes. YOU CAN DO IT, ELLIE.
