Saving Our World

Chapter One

*Emma's POV*

"Emma! Julia! Kate! Jack! Teddy!" A voice screamed out, nearly breaking my eardrums. "WAKE UP!!!!!" There was the landlady. I opened one eye and peeked at the calendar.

"Today is Sunday!" I yelled back at her.

"Today you promised me that you would clean the dormitory!" She yelled even louder than before. I groaned. That woman has a louder voice than a hungry lion.

*Explanation Time with Emma*

Hello there. My name is Emma Daring. I live in the UK dormitory with a couple other students. There are 6 females and 4 males. The females are Charlie Parker (the landlady), Maia Parker (her daughter), Kate Red-Field, Jack Red-Field (Kate's older sister), and Julia Sterling. The males are Grandpa Park (The landlady's father), Wayne Richardson, Wes Wilson, and Theodore (AKA Teddy) Sterling (Julia's twin brother).

I am the second youngest roommate in the dormitory. Here is a list of our ages:

Maia Parker = 17

Emma Daring = 18

Wes Wilson = 19

Kate Red-Field = 20

Julia and Teddy Sterling = 21

Wayne Richardson = 22

Jack Red-Field = 24

Charlie Parker = Unknown

Grandpa Park = Unknown

In the dormitory there are 7 rooms and three bathrooms (for renters uses). The Parker family got rooms of their own (with their own bathrooms). This means that we had to share 4 rooms. I shared a room with Julia. Kate and Jack shared a room. Wes and Teddy shared a room. This left Wayne a room to himself.

The times we came to the dormitory were quite different. Wes has been here the longest. There was a rumor that his girlfriend was the landlady's oldest daughter, Hannah, who disappeared over 2 years ago. Anyways, he has been here since he started high school, which was when he was 14 years old. The next people to come were Jack and Kate. They came the year before Hannah disappeared. I came a year after them because I had to transfer schools. A year after me were the Sterling twins and Wayne.

Let me tell you a secret about our dormitory. Most of the people here are called Magic Users! The only people who aren't magic users are Julia, Wayne, and Jack. I know that it's weird for Julia and Jack not to have magic since their siblings did. The reason for this is that when Julia was young her family discovered that she lost her magic during her birth. They kept magic a secret from her, so she knows nothing of the magical world. As for Jack, she lost the privileges of having magic because she disobeyed the Magic Laws. The Magic Laws are laws that keep users in their place so that magic would not be found out by the rest of the world. Jack was given another chance by her new boss the Serpent Master. The Serpent Master is one of our world's strongest users. Jack is now a scientist for him. No one really knows what she does. Wayne, however, is a normal human, inside out.

*Explanation Time Over*

"Charlie, what did you need us to help you with today?" Julia asked politely as we gathered in the living area of the dorm. Julia was way too kind, and way too obedient.

Before we start we should have some breakfast," Charlie said. "I'll make breakfa-"

"No no no no no no no!" Grandpa Park interrupted her. He gave her a smile. "I just sent Maia to buy some breakfast, so it would be a waste of time to cook." We all gave him relieved, thankful looks. Charlie was an amazing landlady but she does not, and I mean NOT, know how to cook. The first time we tried her food, we nearly died! After that experience we all tried our best to make sure that she never cooked again.
