Dear Diary,

It's me, Ivy Rose Blackwood. Lately, an unsettling shroud of darkness has enveloped my nights, plaguing my dreams with images I struggle to comprehend. Yet, deep inside, I feel these visions are significant, hinting at something far beyond the simple echoes of my imagination.

The scenes that unfold in my mind are often blurred and chaotic, but one chilling detail remains clear: I find myself engulfed in intense, raging flames that dance menacingly around me. Beside me stands a dark, ominous figure, its outline indistinct yet suffused with an aura of malevolence. The terror it instills is so profound that it lingers long after I wake, wrapping around me like a heavy fog, making each dawn feel more daunting than the last.

These recurring nightmares have created a gnawing sense of dread within me that I can't seem to shake off. Sometimes, during daylight hours, an eerie sensation washes over me-the feeling that unseen eyes are watching my every move. When I bravely confided in my parents about my distress, they merely brushed off my concerns, attributing my anxiety to the overly vivid imagination often found in young minds. Their well-meaning reassurances have done little to soothe the tempest brewing inside me.

To complicate matters further, I am on the cusp of transferring to Kitmore Academy after enduring a catastrophic accident that claimed my parents' lives. This traumatic event not only left a wound too deep to articulate but also unveiled a dormant power within me-transforming me into a demon-witch hybrid. Now, every moment feels fraught with uncertainty, as I grapple with abilities I never sought and a past I cannot escape.

Being the new girl at school is inherently fraught with tension, and it's especially challenging when my peers regard me with suspicion and wary glances. To pile on the drama, Damien Kitmore-the infamous ladies' man of Kitmore Academy-seems hell-bent on making my life a living nightmare. Adding to my troubles, his girlfriend, the head cheerleader, harbors an inexplicable jealousy towards me, even though I have no interest in Damien whatsoever.

On the plus side, I've had the pleasure of meeting Damien's siblings, Bridget and Kai Kitmore, who are opposites of their brother. Bridget, my cheerful dorm mate, radiates positivity and laughter, serving as a refreshing beacon amidst the chaos. Kai, on the other hand, has surprised me with his genuine kindness; he seems to have a soft spot for me, which is both comforting and confusing.

Unfortunately, my stroke of luck appears to have run dry; I've just learned that I've been paired with Damien for a school project. This is the last scenario I would have wished for, as working with him is bound to push me to my limits.

I would gladly work with anyone else! Damien has a knack for pushing my buttons and getting under my skin as if doing so were an art form. I can't help but think our teacher intentionally paired us together, perhaps to witness the inevitable clash of wills.

As I ponder these dark dreams that haunt my nights, the question looms large: what are they trying to tell me about my future? As I navigate this bewildering new reality, filled with powers I don't fully understand and a destiny that feels perilously uncertain, each step I take feels like traversing a minefield, fraught with potential dangers. What awaits me at Kitmore Academy, and how will my life unfold in this unpredictable journey?
