I left 'Magical Baking Basis' and went to my dorm, hoping to find Drake there. I can't believe he skipped class!

No one was there.

I grumbled and grabbed my Dark Emerald claws, a quilted backpack filled with my MythMagic books, and slipped on a tie. Of course, it had Mr. Squiggles on it, looking quite snazzy.

Door 126 slammed open, and next came me. I skipped out, heading for the second floor for 'Mysteries of MythMagic' with Mr. Cage. As always, I was early. So when I opened the door there wasn't a single person in sight except for Mr. Cage. He was writing something on the chalk board.

" 'Ello Mister Cage!" I yipped, sliding into a seat.

Mr. Cage flinched, but when he turned around, a jolly smile spread from ear to ear.

"Hello Oreo, how are you?" He asked. His voice was crisp, but it was also as rich and smooth as buttermilk frosting.

"I'm doing quite fine." I sang, taking out my books on Dimensional Claws and Seekrs.

It was only silence after that. A few cliques chatted and scurried in as the bell rang, but most were late. Mr. Cage kept writing.

"Hey, Oreo!" Someone called from the back of the room. I looked behind and found Neveah.

I put my finger to my lips, but still gave a friendly wave. She nodded and rummaged through her red backpack with a golden star on it. Probably her mascot.

Mr. Cage twirled around, giving everyone the same grin from earlier.

"Hello class! And welcome to Mysteries of MythMagic! I know some of you are new, so can you please stand up?" He called once more, still with his voice as rich as honey.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see almost the whole class stand up. Only a brunette-haired boy and a bleach blonde-haired girl were still seated. Oh yeah, almost forgot me!

"Welcome! You may all sit down!" Mr. Cage called, his blue eyes dazzling with answers to my deepest questions.

"Now today, we will be talking about the forest that touches our campus. Also known as the Interdit Woods," He spoke, "now, who knows what that means in French?"

My hand shot up immediately, and I bounced up and down in my seat.

"Yes, Oreo?" He asked.

"It means forbidden!" I chanted.

"Thank you. And it is called 'forbidden' because it is forbidden. You can't go there. If you do, you will be expelled and brought back to your normal life."

*Gasps*

"There are Redhoods, wild dragons, dark Seekrs, Wolves, and much more in those woods." He explained.

*Gasps*

"And, also watch out for our school rival, Aragh, they are on the other side of the forest. Stay. Out. Of. Their. Boundaries." He spat.

Everyone nodded quickly, not wanting to stir him anymore. Thankfully the bell rang and we all scurried out.
