The Well Children

Chapter 10- Kaylie

I take off my dress and hang it on a hanger, changing into some black leggings, a dark purple tunic and a pitch black velvety cape. I try to brush my hair at the same time. We rode the whole night last night and now I am exhausted and now we have our first day of Well Children school today.

Wait? Am I supposed to call my species Huldufolk orr... Well I guess no one calls humans Homo-Sapiens they just call them people, so I guess I can.

I shake my head trying to regain my focus. "Ok so: Wand, Magic spell books, Potion books, and an umbrella." I take a look at the umbrella closely and realise that it is not actually an umbrella, I press the extend button to find that it is just an easily portable broom for my flying lessons. I know that I will be great at broom flying because I can use the shadows to keep me steady.

I shrink them to put them in the compartment in my boots and stop to look in the mirror, I notice that the shadows have made a crown on my head and a sword in my hands but when I look there again it's just my circlet on my head and my broom in my hands. I shake my head and rub my eyes, I'm about to go crack my wrist but then I realise that I probably shouldn't. I look back in the mirror to find that I'm now holding a bow and that a quiver has appeared on my back.

"What is happening?" I ask myself, staring into the mirror. Mara walks in with her pale pink tunic and a gray cape. I'm guessing that the tunic is your favourite colour and that your cape is your 'power's colour'. I quickly throw my blanket over the mirror because I don't want her to see what is happening to me. She looks at me judgingly "Oh-hi-mari-how-are-you-today? Good? That-is-great! So-let's-get-to-school-or-we'll-be-late." I say with a nervous smile on my face.

"Ok..." She says as I rush out the door with a nervous laugh. We exist at the door and walk over to school just before the bell. We arrive at this big structure with glass towers, quarts frames, opal stones and a gazillion vines and flowers draping from the walls all along the entire campus. There are lush green gardens, flower fields and water fountains all around us and I see about a hundred capes in all the different 'colours'.

Mara emerges next to me, "why don't we get these cool compartments in our school shoes?" she asks. "Well then what would happen when we use our magic to unshrink it around a bunch of non-huldufolk." I reasoned. I take a deep breath and step into the crowd. "Kaylie! Mara! Over here!" Gia calls out to us, I notice that she is surrounded with a group of girls that just so happen to be my friendship group. There was Bee, Maddie, April, Amy, Natalie, Clara, Ellie, and the boys that we met before: Flint, Austin and Oryn.

After a few classes it was finally lunch and we un-shrunk our lunch box from the compartments in our boots and sat down on the nearby benches. The ground shakes as soon as Mara takes a bite of her sandwich, the same shake that happened at the music festival. The shaking goes away and Mara goes to bite her sandwich again but then a Giean bursts out of the ground flinging mara's sandwich into the air. "Awe" She says as it lands on the ground. "No offence Mara but I think we have worse things on our hands then a DIRTY SANDWICH!" I scream while trying to avoid the Gieans blows. I try to stand up but my legs have fallen asleep, or so I thought, I feel dizzy and my head hurts. I gasp as I wake up, I'm back in my Dorm in my bed and Mara is sitting beside me.

"Are you ok?" She asks, handing me a glass of water. I sit up and take a sip from the glass. "What happened?" I ask. "The Giean hit you on the head with its club and you got knocked out." I rub my eyes and look around, where has it gone? "You somehow sleep-fought and you hit him with a part of the fountain then the rest of us finished it off." "I did that?" I ask, staring at her. "Yup, anyways, you should go back to sleep so you can heal your head." "I don't need to heal.." My head feels dizzy. "Umm, dude, have you seen yourself? You need to go back to sleep." I lay my head on my pillow and Mara turns off the lights. She turns around one last time and waves goodbye to me before closing the door.
