Normal can be the most beautiful thing there is...
No one knows that more than Aline and her brother.
Aline Blake never knew what was going to happen. Only thirteen years old, she had no clue about life's dark secrets. But that would soon change...
...
Just like Liam said Mr. Brock called all of Mystic to a meeting the next day. Nobody knew what it was about. No one but me.
Me, Tristan and Katie gathered together with the Blue Topaz year one-students and Izadora at a table. Liam had already gone to his new place at the teacher's table at the top of the Hall. It was dead quiet. Everyone eagerly awaited Mr. Brock's beginnings.
He stood up. "I have gathered you here because we have an emergency not only at the school but throughout Canai," he said. "I have received information from an anonymous source that a threat has emerged. A spy." He took a deep breath, waiting for the reactions.
There were gasps and wide-eyed stares. No one knew who it was, but now everyone realized that we had a traitor in our midst.
A traitor who might have been in this house—in this room—pretending like nothing.
A traitor who dared to stand here as if he didn't know a thing, while Mr. Brock stood and revealed the truth about him. Or she, for that matter. We actually didn't know if it was a girl or a boy. We knew nothing.
