After seeing the news on the local papers here in Jericho of the Sheriffs son being arrested for many murders, and also being a Hyde. You'd think things would settle down, and maybe it did for some. But not for me.

I'm being sent to that school of outcasts that Tyler Galpin terrorized along with the one teacher there who killed the principal. Y'know, I never saw it coming with Tyler either. He was my coworker, and he seemed to be a good person, I guess acting was his strong suit.

And now after that whole massacre thing Tyler had going on, my mother thinks it'd be better for me to be at that school instead of lounging at home doing random online schooling.

Although the issue is, I don't have any "powers" or whatever they call it at the school. I'm no werewolf, siren or witch. Although my mother says "I'm special." I hate when parents say that shit.

But anyways, here I am, packing two bags to take with me to Nevermore. I grab whatever I believe I'll need as a necessity. I wonder what I did in a past life to be sent away to this school.

Even though I'm not completely against the idea of beings sent to Nevermore, I just feel like I'm better off where I've been this whole time, I'm not a mythical creature like the rest of them, I'm a plain, boring normie with no outlook for the future.

I take a deep breath as I grab my bags and head out of my room, taking one last glance at my room as if I'm some dramatic main character in a story.

I walk into the living room, as I look for my mom. "Ah, there you are Grimm. Are you ready to go?" my mother says to me as she suffocates me with a hug. "I suppose I am." I speak as I stand there like a pole unable to hug her back considering I'm still holding my bags. "So, can you let me go now, we don't want to be late on my first day right?" I say as an attempt to get her to let me go.

She then releases her grip on me and pats me down making sure I look presentable. "Ah sorry, it's just, I don't know when I'll see you again." She smiles at me "Let's get you to Nevermore now shall we? I want you to have time to get settled in before your classes begin!" She says as she grabs a bag out of my hand and walks to the front door. I roll my eyes at her excitement as I follow her out the door.

Once we load the bags into the car I get into the passenger seat as she gets in the drivers side. As our journey to Nevermore begins, which is more like a 10 minute drive I turn and look at her.

"Why are you sending me to this school if I'm nothing like the other people there?"

She sighs, "I've told you, you're special. We both come from a long bloodline of something I want you to figure out on your own time"

"How am I supposed to figure it out if I know nothing, not even a hint"

"Grimm. I'll give you one hint, and from there on you're on your own. In all honesty, I'm surprised you've never figured it out. I thought you would've figured it out back when you were 9"

"What's the hint mom?" I look at her hoping that I can just figure it out now

"I already told you" She said and I stare at her dumbfounded.

"What?"

"I just told you Grimm, when you were 9. Just keep that in mind, okay?"

"What happened when I was 9?" I ask but I get no response. So I turn and look out the window as I begin to think. When I was 9 all's I did was bitch about the taste of food, and hid in my room.

This is gonna be hard to figure out.

---------------------------------------------

We finally reach the school, which honestly looks like a gothic castle in my opinion.

I step out of the car once we park and I grab my bags setting them down and giving my mom a hug.

"I've already talked to Mrs. Marsh, she should be waiting for you inside the gates. Please promise me you'll try to enjoy it here"

"I promise mom" I mumble

She then pulls back and pats me down one last time "You better behave Grimm Elwin, if I have to come get you because you got expelled I'll send you to Jesus" She smiles a big smile as I stare at her as if she's the craziest person I know, I'd say she actually is, but that'd be lying after the whole Tyler thing.

"Okay, got it" I chuckle, I lean down and grab my bags and begin walking to the gate. The gate begins to open as my mom shouts to me "Bye Grimm! I love you, behave!" I turn and look at her "Yeah, yeah, I love you too!"

I then take my first step through the gate. I have a feeling that some shit is gonna go down.

This is my second published story, (The first I actually removed) I'm not used to writing and publishing stuff, so I'm open to criticism. Publishing this stuff makes me so nervous and for no reason. Updates may be slow at times due to wifi situations, work, tutoring, and babysitting. But I'll try to be as efficient as possible!
