The Amethyst Eyed Dean

Chapter 1- You

I'm not the greatest writer, so don't keep your expectations high. I have no clue how often I will post chapters, but I promise I will!

You are perceived as a bottom in this book. So if you're actually a top, well, I don't know what else to tell you. Sorry

I am open to suggestions and creative criticism, so feel free to type them up in the comments! Enjoy the chapter!

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

You don't have the greatest family. You love them, but they're not always there for you when you need them most, and they're not always very kind. You mainly spend your time walking through the forest enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. You're not a fan of reading, but there are plenty of stories you have heard rumor around the village. None of them really interested you, until one day you heard about the school for good and evil. 

Many believed that it was just a fairy tale, and that the story of it was only created to soothe the minds of the young. You on the other hand got curious. You decided to go to Mrs. Deauville's book store to see what you could find on this mysterious school. 

"Welcome in! Is there anything in particular that you are looking for today?" Mrs. Deauville asks with a smile. "Yeah, uh, do you have any books about the school for good and evil?" You questions with eagerness. 

"As a matter of fact, I do! Just over there in that corner about eye level. There should be a few of 'em there." She answers with joy. "Thank you." You say as you walk over to the corner shelf. 

You look at the neatly lined books and take one off the shelf. You sit down in a comfortable chair and begin to read. You read through with such interest and focus that you hadn't even noticed the sun setting through the window, until Mrs. Deauville tells you that she needs to close the shop for the day.  

You get up quickly and put the book back where you found it. You grab your basket and start heading back home.

"Where have you been all day?!" Your mother, Laurie, shouted as you walk through the door. 

"I was at Mrs. Deauville's." You answer quickly. 

"You? You were reading a book?" Laurie scoffs.

"Yes, actually, I was." You reply in a slightly snarky tone. 

"Mhmm... Dinner is on the table, help yourself. Then off to bed." Laurie demands calmly. Laurie then walks up the stairs to her room and shuts the door. As You eat your dinner, you think about the words you read in the book. If you were completely honest, you didn't even remember the book title. 

Days go by, and every single one is spent in the book store reading about the school.  You had never read so much in your entire life. It was certainly an interesting change.

You closed the book. It was the end of the week already. You had read every book Mrs. Deauville had about the amazing school. You wanted to believe that it was real, but you weren't entirely sure. One thing was for sure though, you were going to find out. You decided to write a letter and take it out to the woods. You stuck it into your lucky tree and hoped for the best. You went back home, and laid down on your bed hearing the same sentence run through your thoughts over and over: 'If it actually is real, will they notice the letter?' 

You startled awake during the middle of the night because of some strange noise. You scanned your room to see if you could find the cause of it, but couldn't. You eventually tried going back to sleep, but something grabbed both of your ankles and dragged you off your bed, out of your house, and into the forest. 

As you were being dragged along you screamed and called for help, but no one came. Eventually, you came to a tumbling stop in a clearing in the woods. You get up quickly and look around to see if you could find your kidnapper. 

In the midst of you scanning the forest, you notice the blood red sky gleaming above you. Then it clicks. You read about this same blood red sky in one of the books. 'Could it actually be?'  You thought to yourself. Then out of nowhere a giant bony bird grabs you with it's talons, and hauls you off into the red sky. 

The next thing you see is the school for good. It's shining in the morning sun; lined with beautiful flower beds and an assortment of wondrous gardens. You thought that was where the bird was going to take you, until you noticed that you were being dropped into a nasty river at the entrance of the school for evil. 

As you got out of the cool water, you noticed all the other students heading in the same direction, so you follow. Upon entering the school, you look around to see if you could find someone who could help you get to the other side.

As you are looking, you notice a woman standing in the middle of the room. She looks like she could be in charge, so you walk up to her.
