The School for the Magicals #wattys2016

Paris

I starred into the eyes of the young girl she starred back. This couldn't be a dream, it felt too real. I started to panic. The girl smiled sweetly at me she reached out her hand. Part

of me wanted to grab it but the other told me not to. I closed my eyes and grabbed her

hand.

When I opened my eyes I was not in the forest by the creek I was in a large field, there

were weird machines surrounding the field. I noticed other people were huddled back to

back in a circle. I looked around me. There was a guy next to me who looked like he was about ready to fight. I looked to my side, to my surprise I saw Madeline, but she didn't look the same she had a serious face and her hair was swept back into a tight braid. I looked down at myself and noticed I was wearing a brown leather jacket and and jeans.

My hand went to the back of my head my hair was no longer down it was in a high ponytail. My heart was beating fast and I didn't know what to do. I tensed even more when I heard a countdown coming from the sky . 20..19..18..17..16..15..

I wandered what to do when they reached zero. I silently started to cry as the speaker reached ten. 10...9...8..7..6...5...4..3..2..1..

Everyone ran in all directions. I ran forward, as soon as my foot hit the ground I fell Down..............down.............down.

Finally I hit the ground. It didn't hurt as I expected, it even felt soft. Then I realized my eyes were closed shut from fear. I forced my eyes open and saw I was in my train seat.

I went over everything that had just happened and nothing made sense. Regina was sitting alone next to me.

"Regina?" I asked shakily. She looked at me," Yea?"

I decided to tell her later because I wasn't in the mood relive what had just happened.

"where's Madeline?" I asked her

"She got off the train a couple minutes ago" Regina said

"Oh"

The speakers announced," next stop the school for Magicals"
"That's us " Regina said tiredly
I smiled, I got up and got all my luggage together, so did Regina.

The train stopped and we got off. We were standings at the end of a stone sidewalk that

lead forward. There were tall bush walls around the walkway so we couldn't see where

we were being lead. We walked intel we saw a gold gate. I put my hand on the lock and it opened. I looked at Regina. She shrugged and we walked into a beautiful courtyard.
At the end of the courtyard there was a magnificent pink quart castle. I heard Regina

gasp next to me, but I was to caught up in the beauty of the the castle. We walked to the giant door way and knocked. It was a minute or two before someone actually came the door.

A short man with weird looking ears answered the giant door. He took us by the hands and pulled us up three flights of stairs, down a hallway, through a tunnel and to our rooms. He brought Regina her room first he gave her a kea and dropped her off without

saying a word. Then he brought me down the hallway to a another room. He gave me a kea and left. I stood there with my luggage, holding the kea. I opened the door to my

room, I was blown away when I saw the inside of the room.
It was absolutely Beautiful! It was so elegant. I walked inside and saw a note on the

it read, " Hi whoever you are, I'm Marilyn and my room is across from you so if you want to meet me before class someday, lets do that!!"

I put the note aside and got into more comfortable clothes and got into bed.

I just lied there thinking about everything that had happened. More questions came
bursting into my mind.

More and more and more intel I fell asleep.
