The Last Shadow Witch

3. Welcome to my world

DAYS LATER

It all happened like a dream, one moment I was being beaten and molested, and the next I was in Marielle's car, grinning at the trees she drove past. I was going to live with her, I knew I would live just great.

"Welcome to Vamperville," I read out the words written boldly in Italian on a big brown billboard. She stepped on the gas and drove faster, I felt something pass through me, it was ticklish. "Where are we? I've never heard of Vamperville before," I said as a matter of fact.

"That is the old name, they should have put it down by now," she murmured, slowing down the speed as she peered out of her window. "The new name's Twilight Myths."

"That's a really strange name," I confessed. "And this town, it's here in USE?"

"We have other strange places, one no human is aware of. Anyways, my college name is Twilight Castle. The school is pretty strange, I hope you won't pass out when you find out later." She said with a very sweet teasing smile, I shrugged it off as a joke. We came to a strong transparent wall, one that looked like water was running down from it but never getting wet, it was beautiful. She stuck her head out of the window and waved her hand.

"I didn't see that wall there before," I muttered to myself.

"Since you can see it, then you are definitely a myth like us," she sighed. A red light flashed, she waved something in her hand. It was like the car was scanned. "My sister, Marinette Karnowsky, unknown mythical being but I suspect rare magic!" She shouted. She brought her head back in and wiggled her fingers on the steering wheel. Nothing made sense, I wanted to ask more questions but I knew answers won't be given.

The wall pushed open, a loud heavy drawing sound, it opened a little, enough to drive through. She drove through the small opening in the wall, my throat instantly dried up, something definitely smelt different. It was almost eerie, too eerie. She drove past some tall, pale looking trees. In a few minutes, we came to a town, a dark coloured town, like a haunted vampire city.

"This place is scary," I said with a little fear. "There are no flowers, no music or plants. At least, good normal looking plants, those trees look like ents and the bushes are shaped like dead people."

"That's the view this part of town gives," she chuckled. "The town is divided into five, five set of peoples. A part of only black and white, everyone there wears black and white or gray only. Two, this part with pale and dark colours, you can also tell by their dressing," true, they were all dressing strange. "Three is the mix it up lane. The colours are mixed, like a normal town should be. Four, the awfully brightly coloured places with rainbows and flowers, so much they make me sick. And finally, the royal lane, you know the way castles are? Only royals and nobles live there, the colours are normal, by choice." She loves colours, an artist by gift if I must say. She said somewhere brightly coloured must be really serious, I wonder what that looks like.

"There!" I shouted, pointing out of my window. I was sure I saw a lady grow an extra hand before disappearing into thin air. "I just saw a lady…"

"Magician," she said casually. I heaved a sigh of relief, that would have been very weird. As she drove deeper into the town, colours started coming out, beautiful colours and soon we were at the normal side of town. She slowly drove into the driveway of a house that looked like a rainbow puked on it, the colours were too much but in a very beautiful way. The house was surrounded by blueberry and cranberry bushes with little rosemaries. She killed the engine and threw her hands up in the air. "Welcome! To me rainbow arbour!"

"Indeed," I smiled. She giggled while removing her seatbelt, I couldn't help but smile wider at the thought of a new life. We both simultaneously got out of her car, her beautiful twilight fog car with silver tyres. I inhaled the air, it smelt so nice in a weird way. "The air here smells weird."
