Deadly Shore

Chapter three- Intuition isn't a liar

I knew it! His last girlfriend hurt him. I immediately wake from my slumber and my mother is making my favourite meal. French toast with melted cheese, fried chips and sliced breakfast sausages. Mm just the sensational aroma has me floating in the air. *buzz* A text from Gabrielle. Good Morning! Where were you last night? Bruce was looking for you.  I sigh because that seems too good to be true. I reply: Bet he was Gabs I hold back tears because I keep telling myself that it doesnt matter and that it is going to go away soon but I know deep deep deep down I really like him. To be honest this friendship this thing that I have with him makes me feel lost. As if I am trapped in a maze of his heart and he will not let me get to the centre. I feel numb, dead, without purpose but somehow I keep walking. I refuse to give up and I continue searching for the way to his heart even though I am taking a huge risk. I would risk it all for him in a heartbeat. I cannot feel my body. The cold air sends chills down my spine. I am afraid of one day waking up and then my feelings would have turned to ash. I finish up in the bathroom and head down for breakfast. Kyle has gone to work already and mom is going to have breakfast with me like we do every morning before school. I dont know what it is about today. Its as if all of the blood is drained from my body. Mom takes out two fresh blood bags and that warms my insides in a way I cannot really explain. After breakfast I teleport to school. The fam is waiting at the cafeteria as usual. We have our own meeting spot. Everyone is going on about the party and I just keep the topics going too. (Junaid): Morning Cassy! (Ascari): Morning sis! (Cassy): Morning everyone! (Gabrielle): The party was fabulous! (Luke): I met the coach for the best Deadly Shore hockey team and got initiated! (Everyone): Wow congratulations Luke! Luke has been working his wand off to get into the hockey teams but this was great news! Uh-oh, Bruce just walked in. I notice him looking at me and I cannot help but turn away. I take a sip of one of my mint snacks and it keeps me calm. *bell rings* Crap! It is register period and we are in the same class. As usual, the fam is sitting around my desk. I love them to bits. My register teacher is such a sweet person but do NOT get on her bad side then you shall regret ever meeting her. Although I do not fear anyone else but myself. *BANG* The entire class races to the hall and we just see about twenty bodies slaughtered outside. A few were thrown against the huge window. Mm the blood smells fresh. The headmaster advises everyone to go back to class as the Vampiric Clean-up Crew will be sorting out the situation. Aww but I want to help clean up. Well, it is not Deadly Shore without a few dead bodies here and there. Do not get me wrong, we have feelings too. We have all loved and lost. I remember when I lost my grandfather. He was my role model and most importantly he was my best friend I spoke to him about everything. I wanted to be just like him when I grew up. I could barely think straight at his funeral. That day was the day I stopped living. I just I miss him so much. He used to spoil me and I couldnt wait to invite him to my matric ball but then he died when I was in fifth grade. He had kidney cancer for about one hundred and ten years but he didnt treat it or tell us about it. I remember the day my family and I went to see him in the hospital and my mom broke down beside his hospital bed. I didnt realise at the time that he was dying. I miss him every day and it kills me to think about how things were when he was around. He was like a father to me, he was the one person I truly looked up to. My grandmother died at four hundred and forty-five. The fact that my grandfather survived over a century without the woman he loved made me see how strong he was on the inside and ever since he passed I promised myself that in honour of him. I will be the strongest I can be and never stop searching for the one who will be there to motivate me to keep going when life seems tough. Thirty nine guys have rejected me, hurt me, broken me or worse. I failed two of my terms this year and I am starting to freak out. I dont think that I am going to make it. I dont want to go back to school anymore. I just wish that things would not be so difficult anymore. But life isnt fair and wishes dont come true. So I live it with my family and pretend that things are great. In the time that I have grieved and felt hurt I have been taken by the darkest and strongest forces but I had to fight the war alone. I never gave up, okay maybe at least once but I kept going eventually. I havent realised it but it has made me incredibly strong internally, mentally, physically and psychologically. I still find myself loving unconditionally but I fight the darkness before it thinks that it can get me. This was my thoughts throughout register period. I know its a lot to digest after only thirty minutes but what can I say? My mind is extremely strong. I think about a load of things at once and sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of them. As the day passes Bruce doesnt stop looking at me. I even thought for a second that there was something on my head or something. I dont understand him anymore. We spoke every morning for about four days then he was upset about something and we havent talked since then. Bruce has always been a good friend but I do not understand why he is so distant with me again yes its happened before. Ugh! I just feel so annoyed. The fact that he is always playing the angry guy with me is pretty nerve wrecking. *bell rings* Great! Its time for first period and all I want to do is go home. Well, basically every persons thoughts when coming to school is that they want to go home. *buzz-buzz* It is a text from Gabby Do not walk around until the guys leave huh? I respond: Why not? My phone buzzes again. Because I am pretty sure they would not be able to contain themselves Oh crap that stings a fang. I totally forgot about these students. I wore my favourite jeans and thats a bit of a mistake. *buzz-buzz* Ugh. Whats it now? (Junaid): Its here Yes! Time to get out of this clown party and have a snack. Basically, whenever Juju gets a package of blood bags or bodies then he contacts me because class can be really boring sometimes and then you just get very hungry. I would hate to bite my teachers head off during math period. I compel the teacher to know that I will be out for a while but he mustnt notice that I am gone. Junaid is waiting at the usual spot. He makes a stupid little grin when he sees me. I would really love to have him as a brother by blood you know. We think so alike. He walks over to me and says something odd. (Junaid): Hey sis. The package got here about a second ago. But theres a note on the box (Cassy): That says what? Meanwhile Gabby, Ascari and Luke are walking towards us. (Luke): Hey guys, going eat without us? Luke always acts like the greedy one when really it is Junaid and I that are greedy beings. Although hes a wizard, we taught him how to indulge in healthier methods. Anyway I ignore the thought and head straight over to the note on the box. It has something on the front D.S.P.A.S.B. Oh no. I show the fam and they get the same reaction. We all heard about this organisation Deadly Shore Private Academy for Supernatural Beings. Its basically a huge college/home at a secret location somewhere beneath Deadly Shore. Our parents told us about the secret academy when we were little ones. But we all look at the note and I get a little worried. (Gabrielle): Open it dammit! I ignore her little demand and open it when she calms down. Fancy red letters all over the note surprise all of us: Good day students of Deadly Shore high school. We have been watching you and have been really impressed by your skills and powers. This note is confidential and any mention of it to any being will eliminate your chances of what we offer. We have been around for over twenty thousand years and every so often, we come across talented supernatural beings such as yourselves We look at each other and laugh. (Ascari): Talented is sugar coating The Best right? We laugh and continue reading We are offering five spots at our prestigious academy. We have already notified your parents and your school is allowing you to go home and pack your things if you agree. To let us know that you agree, open the box if not, well you understand what were saying. We support your decision whatever it may be. D.S.P.A.S.B    I cannot believe that this is happening. My heart is beating like crazy and everyone else can hear it too. Their hearts are beating so hard-core as well. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! If my grandfather was here, he would be so proud right now. He basically ran the academy from all the stories he used to tell all of us. If what he told me is true then that academy is the best thing ever. You cannot apply to the academy because they only enrol the best of the best. Everyone looks at each other and we still cannot believe that this is really happening. I feel tears of joy run down my cheek I know that my mom is going to be so proud and I am not sure about my brother because we hardly speak at all. I want to tell the whole world about this but I know that this academy is top secret so no one is allowed to know about it unless they go to the school or own the school or the parents of the kids have to be informed. I realise that I cannot stop smiling and it is starting to hurt a little to be honest. I ignore the pain and just laugh with the fam. We get excited but we look at each other and make the decision.
