"Ember! Get up you have to go to the store to get spaghetti ingredients!" My drunk mother screams from down the hall. I lazily open my eyes to see that my room is pitch black.

Urgh! The sun hasn't even risen. I carefully get out of bed. My feet sting from the icy touch of the red oak floor.

I put my hands in front of me to make sure I don't calid into any furniture or any of my four walls.

I slowly shuffle my feet forward,not picking them up in case there is something sharp on the ground.

Once I feel the cold door nob at the tips of my finger tips I open the door to be greeted by the hall way light. The light bounces off the bare, tan walls onto the white celing and down to the white carpet.

I run across the hall into the all white bathroom. Once I look at myself in the mirror I jump back in horror. My beautiful golden hair was everywhere. Under my golden cat eyes were huge dark bags.

I changed out of my PJ's into grey sweat pants and a loose baby blue T-shirt. I quickly put on my white Nike's and put my hair into a ponytail, my layerd hair didn't allow my bangs to go into the ponytail so they remand crossing over my forhead to the right side of it.

I grabbed my cherry red wallet and headed to the store. Walmart was about a block away. Living in Odessa, Texas it really didn't take long to get from place to place.

I made sure to always have two knifes on me at all times. One in my wallet and the other in the front of my white laced panties. Both the knifes were the same, they both had the same handle and the same blade.

You can't be to careful in Odessa. I made my way into Walmart and headed straight to the food section.

I felt as if someone was following me. I quickly grabbed all the stuff I needed and went to check out. I groaned in frustration when I saw that all the self check outs were full.

I made my way to a check out. The cashier was a very handsome teenager. He looked around 17. He had light,milky,brown hair and amazing oak green eyes. His name tag said Kyle R. Lee.

He gave me a flirty wink and began to scan the items. There was no small talk to anything. I can't do that. I don't really like being socal with people. Animals, well there a whole different ball park.

I quickly got home and went into the wooden kitchen. Every thing was made out of wood except the pots used for cooking. I quickly made spaghetti in under ten minutes.

I ran down the hall to my room and shut the door. When I went to lay down I felt a sharp pain in my side. I quickly reached for the thing that caused the pain. I found an envelope in my hand. It was closed by a red waxed seal that looked to be a lion on its two back feet.

How did that get there?

Then my mind went back to the cashier. When I was grabbing the money out of my wallet I turned my back to him and that's when he put it in the back pocket of my sweat pants.

I opened the envelope:

Hello,Ember

You have been one of the very lucky few to have been in invited to my very dear school for special talent. You, my young Kitten have a very rare talent that has long been gone. I want you to come to Louisiana and attend my school. Please consider.

Sincerely, Principal Vlad Dracula

Kitten? Special? Wtf!?

"HEY, MOM. I'M GOING TO LOUISIANA!" I shouted. I ran down the hall to her room and told her.

"Honey, there's something I must tell you" my mother said sounding alot more sober.
