Cealania

Chapter One

"Blake, time to get up!" Mom called.

I quickly hop out of bed my feet landing on the hard wood floor. I run over to my dresser on the opposite side of my room and grab my clothes. I hurriedly change into my usual t-shirt and jeans and make my way through the hall and down the stairs, which leads straight into the kitchen.

"Good morning Blake, did you sleep well?" Dad asks looking up from his newspaper.

"Yes, thanx" I answer quietly. "Um..." I begin, I know I shouldn't ask and I already know the answer. But I at least have to try. Its been long enough since the last time I tried, so maybe they wont get upset. "I was wondering if maybe I could go shopping today. My clothes are very old and worn out, so I was hoping I could go out and buy some new clothes." Okay I was pretty good, maybe they bought it. But of course I already know what the answer is.

You see I live in a small wooden cabin in the woods. In which woods I wouldn't know. All I know is that its somewhere in New Jersey. Its just my parents and me of course, which gets extremely lonely. I would love to go out and hang out with friends, like a normal sixteen year old girl. But I cant really do that being that I have no friends. I'm on house arrest, I have been ever since I could remember. I don't know why my parents don't let me go anywhere. But believe me when I say I've tried to find out.

My parents have always been strict with me. Their not doing it to be mean or because they don't love me. I know they just want to keep me safe, but who's going to hurt me already. I know their trying their best, but I still don't think it gives them the right to be so distant from me. The only times I get to talk to them let alone see them is by meals. I'll see Mom when I have to give in my homework. The rest of the time I'm left on my own, and where they go I have absolutely no clue. And I don't really care to. But at the end of the day I'm not surprised by his answer.

"No."

After sitting down and eating a very quite breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes, I head back upstairs to my room to do school. I grab my laptop from the nightstand beside my bed and plop onto my bed. This is the good thing about being homeschooled, since its all on the computer I could totally do what I want. I could eat snacks, play games on the side, or watch on my ipad. And I don't get in any trouble. But that's me just being positive if I'm being honest, it gets extremely lonely. I seriously don't know how I haven't lost my sanity. Or I have lost it and I just don't know any better. I mean the only people I could compare myself to are playing characters in a movie or TV show. And if I'm comparing myself to them I seem completely normal. I mean I'm not a vampire from "The Vampire Diaries", or a werewolf from "Teen Wolf".

Now in all seriousness I have to finish up a report on WW2 and give it to Mom within the hour.

I finished the report earlier than expected so I decide to go downstairs and just leave it on the desk in Mom's office. When I get to the door of the office I move to open it but stop dead in my tracks when I hear my parent's whispered argument behind it.

"We cant tell her yet Kayla, she's not ready!" Dad says.

"It doesn't matter if she's ready or not, which I believe she is! But either way Gwen sent word that the Elf Hunters are looking for her, its only a matter of time before they find her!" Mom answers back. What are they talking about? What are they not telling me? And did Mom just say elf?

"Listen to me if they do find us we are more than capable of protecting her. We train everyday down in the basement,  our magic is only getting stronger. I think we should wait to tell her." Well I guess now I know where they disappear to everyday. And did he just say magic?

"No Jeff. This is not about us being able to protect her. Its about her not being able to protect herself! I think we should take her to Gwen to have her powers unblocked"

"Are you insane! You cant do that its too dangerous! We don't know anything about her power let alone how to teach her to control it!"

"You know what I've had enough of this! She's my daughter and I'm so sick of keeping my distance from her. No Jeff!" She says before he can interrupt. "You don't have a say anymore. We are going to do this because its what I want. And what I think is best for her. And you cant fight me on this because at the end of the day your not her real father!"
