I stair out the window of the orphanage, the sun setting, casting an eery light on the buildings around us and the moon rised. "Waverly! Come down here!" I heard someone yell from the kitchen of the orphanage.
Clarie, always asking for me to do stuff.
I sigh and go to the kitchen, to see Claire and Ms. Grumpy Pants. Not real name "Yes?" I ask, slightly annoyed "Don't get attitude with me girl!" Ms. Always grumpy pants snarled. I sigh. "What?" I ask, and wait for a response, "Do the dishes with Claire" the old hag responded and walked away. I look at Claire and start doing the dishes, She fixes up her hair, and does other weird things, I am almost done when she starts, I start to put the last of mine away. "Waverly... Will you mine doing the last of the dishes, I just started and your almost done. Besides, my hand hurts" She asks. But it was more of a statement, she was a year older than me, and she was always so smug when I brought up age. "I ratj not" I reply to her, as I wipe my hands. "Be a good little orphan and do that" She starts to whine, "please!" She whines louder, "Sorry but no" I say and start to walk up the stairs, only reaching the second one before she runs over to me, "Do it!" She yells and tries to drag me over to the sink. "Stahp!" I yell and bat her hand away, "No wonder no one wants you! You are ugly and don't do anything useful, I pity your parents before they died, you are horrible!" She screams, I look at her, my eyes flare with anger, I hear the water from the sink pouring out of the
Faucet, I smile as the water starts to float over to Clair, going up her legs and suffocating her in water. She screams but bubbles come out of her mouth, I hear someone coming down the stairs, it was Ms. Grumpy Pants, "Demon!" She screams before she throws a pot at me, another streak of water blocks it, sending it flying to the ground. I realize that Clair stopped moving, "What have I done." I murmur shocked as she falls to the floor and so does all the water. "Demon!" I hear the old hag yell again, I start to cry and run out of the Orphanage, towards the Forest, 'I'm a monster' I think to myself, I stop and look around, realizing I heard something, I pant, from running so far without stopping, my chest hurt, and I started to wheeze, something looked at me through the bushes, 2 bright blue eyes staired back at me. I stand shocked as I realize it was a horse, it comes out of the bushes and looks at me, that's no horse. Its blue! My mind thinks, I pinch my arm to make sure I was awake, first, water powers, the some strange horse. The horse looking creature neighs and rears, its hooves come down with a thud, and it looks at me, its chest risisng and falling.
Waverly?
A voice comes from my head, "What? Who are you, where are you?!" I start to freak out. "I'm hearing voices" I look around. In shock
I'm in front of you. I'm blue with a dark blue mane and tail. Hello. Don't you remember me? I was there during the Thusanimi. I saved you
The voice says, the horse looks at me and nudges my hand, I put my hand on its snout, rubbing it.
"How. How is this possible I'm talking to a horse and I have powers. I'm going insane" I mumble. The horse looks at me, with wide eyes.
Your not insane. I was sent there to protect you. Now I have found you. We are bonded for life. I hear your thoughts, and you here mine. We are bonded.
The voice says again, and the horse nods, I laugh. "Tell me, or nod your head, how old am I? 14, or 16?" I ask the horse. Nod if I'm 14, shake your head if I'm 16." I say to the hourse. It shakes its head. "Ok. I believe you. Now, what's your name?" I ask
Mystic. My name is Mystic
The voice replies in my head.
"Can anyone else hear you?" I ask.
No
It replies. I nod.
Get on my back. We have to go meet the others
Mystic says and lowers herself just enough for me to climb on. I walk to her back and climb on. I hold onto her braided mane, and she races off through the forest
