The School Of La Magie

Chapter 1

I woke up at 4 in the morning. I don't know why. It happened everyday for the past 7 years of my life. It was the same dream, that somehow still haunted me. That dream I couldn't remember. When I remembered it I would scream and cry. Then I forget and everything. Afterwards everything seemed lost again.

My name is Ember Lynnwood. I am an 11 year old eternal. Eternals are people who have magical abilities, there are vampires, gods, witches, and more. My parents know about me being one. They are like me, but they won't tell me what I am.

Today I'm going to an academy. Called La Magie. La Magie means Magic in French. It's the school for the most amazing eternals. I don't know how I got it. I'm excited to go, sorta. The bad thing is that it's a boarding school.

Which means I won't get to see my parents at all. It's all year round. For 7 years, I'll be in this school. The only break is Christmas. I'm going to miss this life. It will change forever after I go here.

If I graduate here then I'll be 18 afterwards which means I'll have to move out as soon as I get back home.

My thoughts were interrupted by the noise of the doorknob twisting. "Ember?, Sweetie I want to talk to you.".

My mother wasn't at all frail. She looked like a teenager if you didn't know her. She was skinny, like a skeleton. I didn't dare comment on it, but I worried about it sometimes. Her eyes shimmered brightly. The same green eyes that I had. She had long red hair that went down to her thigh. Dad worried about how pretty she was sometimes worried that someone would steal her from him.

"What about Mother?." I replied. "Ember Lynnwood. I know this world has so much in store for you. You're the next, the next, nevermind". Her voice was panic stricken. "Mom, what's in store." I said. It had to be important if Mom was this nervous about it. "The future will tell you it all my child. I promise. The day you realize you're life will change. When you realize you're purpose will change. Now go get dressed for school, we need to start driving there soon".

Mother's words left me so confused. I wonder what it is. It could be anything. I pulled on the dress I would be wearing which I hated so dearly. I looked in the mirror

I saw a different person. One with beautiful orange hair put into spaces buns. With a yellow dress that was so long it could touch the floor. I looked at the dress better. It had a mustard looking color with white buttons that went down the waist.

I got into a carriage and chatted with my parents waiting to finally arrive at this new life apparently. New school here I come.
7/1/20 10:00 am -Ember Lynnwood

My name is Talia Pierce. I am 11 years old, and I am a vampire. Or a eternal as many call it. Today I am going to a new school called La Magie. I'm not excited to go, but do I get a choice. According to my parents I'm not important enough to even have a choice.

I love music more than anything. I play, Flute. It makes me feel alive. It's the only thing that's kept me from well. This school isn't going to be good for anyone, I've already figured that out.

The school is abusive to it's students from what I heard. I need to find a way to stop my parents from taking me.

"Miss," I nodded in response to the maid. "It's time for you to get dressed.". I wouldn't refuse a maid.
why? You wonder, because the maids are better than my parents. I love them more than I love my family.

I looked in the reflection of my mirror. I have yellow eyes, and long white hair that goes down to my thighs. The dress I'm wearing to the first day is a light blue corset, with a long skirt.

I walked outside. I almost tripped over my dress but saved myself. I got in the carriage with my driver. My parents were running over to the carriage. I told the driver to go, because I didn't want to see them any more.

My eyes closed and that's the last thing I remember. I saw a giant academy.

It was made out of stone, it had at least 7 floors. The building was the biggest one I've ever seen, and when you're parents own a company you see lots of giant buildings.

A bunch of people were waiting by there carriages for the school to open. I held my small bag of luggage that was only clothes, and things that I needed.

The opening ceremony is the first thing you on the day the school opens again. The higher ups are all escorted to there rooms. All of the first years have to weight in the dining hall for the choosing.

For the choosing you are called up one by one for the choosing. The headmaster will ask you some questions you answer honestly and you'll be given a house. There are four houses.

The first house is called the Chipmunk House. If you're in the Chipmunk House. You have lots of energy and are usually really nice.

The second house is the owl house. It is for the smarter in life. The people who easily can beat everyone in grades. They're the smartest.

The third house is the tiger. Fierce people who seek strength and vengeance in life. They're known to produce the strongest eternals.

The 4th house is the Giraffe. You get sorted into the giraffe house if no other house suits you. It has the most unique people in it.

"First up! Is Ember Lynnwood" the headmaster said.
