Fated Lovers of Magic: Book 1

Lark the friendly ghost

So who could it be? A Ghost or just his imagination?

He was so scared that he hid behind a bookcase. He pulled the shelf close to him hoping that whoever he hears will not notice him.

When he was sure that nobody is near him, he turned his attention to the bookshelf where he thinks the voice came from and noticed a small figure standing beside the shelf.

He immediately jumped out of hiding as he was really scared. He dropped his bag and went in front of the shelves as fast as he can.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding?" he asked.

The figure was already gone.

"I-I-I can't see you!" Earth screamed out loud in panic.

He looked around again and again but he has not seen anyone.

"Calm down, there is nothing to worry about. You are safe, you are among friends, we are all here for the same reason" a familiar voice spoke.

"Who are you? What do you mean by friends? And what are you talking about?" Earth panicked.

"I am Lark, and yes, I know, you can't see me, because I am invisible, I will explain everything later, just calm down and listen to my words. You are safe, I promise. Just trust me and we will get through this together."

He started to feel some relief hearing those words. He slowly calmed down and looked at the floor.

"Where are you? I can't see you!" he asked again.

Lark smiled, "Calm down, it will be okay."

Earth was starting to think that this might be a dream or a nightmare because he never experienced anything like this before.

"Okay, I'm listening," Earth replied.

"You are safe, please believe me, we are all here for the same reason. We all have our own problems to overcome. So, please, give yourself a break and just relax."

what he couldn't understand is how come there are other people inside the room when he was the last person to be accepted in this house of the academy.

He thought of something and is unsure if he has the nerve to confirm his theory, at the end he chose to ask " Are you a ghost?", he finally asked courageously.

"No, I am not a ghost, I hope?" Lark answered with a smile.

"Are you a real person then? Can you see me?" he asked again.

"Yes, I can see you," Lark answered with a big grin.

Earth got excited and tried to see himself but still, he cannot see anything. His skin is tingling with excitement.

"Can you move your hand? Or move your feet?" Lark asked.

Earth nodded.

"Let me try too," Earth said.

"Here, hold my arm," Lark said as he held his arm out.

Earth did as he ordered as he made a grabbing motion in the air and he felt the arm of Lark.

He could finally see the appearance of Lark. He looked like in his teens about the age of 18 years old.

"Now, let go," Lark said.

Earth released his grip and he can't see Lark anymore.

"Why? Where did you go?" Earth asked.

"Oh, you can't see me now, that's because you are seeing me for the first time, it's just temporary.
