Death's Touch

Chapter 1

Dawn's POV

  I felt someone grab my shoulders. I  turned around to see one of my  best friends, Liana is her name. Liana was about the same height as I, she is just an inch taller. Liana had short hair the color brown that only reached her shoulders. She was dressed like a huntress, four knives hung from her belt, a sword on her side, a bow and arrow at her back, and two small knives on each boot.Her emerald green eyes seem to shine in the morning light. She may sound scary but she is one of the best friends I have in this magic school. She has a special power of revenge which is why a lot of people feared her, but more people feared me.

  Both of us walked towards the gate of our school. ' Enchantress' Realm of Magic ' was our school's name, it was just for girls with special abilities. When we entered the place, we were greeted by my other best friend Rose. She was the most smartest and prettiest in our whole batch. She had golden eyes and golden blond curls to match it. She wore a white sundress that reached her knees. Cream heels and a white leather bag and nothing else. Cause she did not need anything else to make her more beautiful. Her power was the power of life or nature, she undid what I have always done. Which was kill. Yes that was my power, to kill and that is why I am the most feared in class. And why Rose has to undo what I always done. I had black hair that reached my back, there was one streak of dark purple on my left. I wore a black dress with a maroon belt and a buckle shaped as a raven. Dark red heels and a black necklace with a skull. My eyes were black but goes red when I am angry. Most people would shy away from me, but there are some that know about the spell that Rose puts on me so they try really hard to bully and make my life as miserable as possible.

   And if your wondering how my friends don't get killed by me, its because Rose made me a spell so I don't make that accident to anyone.

  We were walking down the hall. Hearing gasps and foot steps running away, it was natural to me and to my friends. They always heard murmurs around us when I am with them. And stares following us too. But they were kind enough to not mind.

  We stopped for our first class of the day. High Illusions, we were grouped into pairs. Me and Liana and Rose with a crowd of random people fighting for her. Our teacher explained the instructions and we were soon making illusions around the room. When the bell rang, we walked out of our classroom, while Rose was being stalked by students.

  Soon all three of us had to part ways. Rose had to go to one more class, Liana went to her hunting class. And I went to the library.

   As I was walking around the library, I stopped and looked at a small black wisp of fire at one of the sections. Looking at the librarian and the other students, I walked over to the wisp and saw a line of them, as if they were there to lead me somewhere.

  After following the wisps. They all just disappeared in thin air, leading me to a book shelf with a red door next to it. A red wisp appeared on the door handle, as if it was pulling me to the door, I felt my hand try to reach out for it. But then my hand backed away, I knew I shouldn't do this, I reminded myself. So I walked back to the entrance of the library, acting as if I didn't see anything.

 When I met up with my friends again, I told them all about what I saw. Liana urged me to take her there. Rose held me back. I told both of them to forget about it.

  When walking towards our next class, Rose and I could hear Liana grumble and complain the whole time. ( She is the kind of person who wants to know everything ) I sighed and tried to ignore her. When finally I stopped at my class, Rose was with me, but Liana had another class.

  My mood instantly went down, when found out our next subject was spells. It was definitely my least favorite subject, but as usual for Rose it was so easy. We entered the room, it showed glossy white desks with chairs that match them and an egg on each table and a small pool in the middle of the room. I walked towards my desk. I flipped to the page our teacher instructed us to go to. I read the title of the page ' Evocation of Sea Serpent Calling '. Well that explained why we had a sea serpent egg on each table. Rose touched the egg, hers was bright green with blue green spots on the bottom.

  Our teacher instructed us to read the first paragraph. It showed us how to conjure or wake up the serpent, but as usual I never paid any attention. Rose was already starting up on her spell, she started to chant a song that brightened up the whole class. I just stood there looking at my egg, it was turquoise with small silver linings at the edges. I started to chant the song, softly making sure nobody heard me.Rose's egg started to hatch and soon she was in the next step of the spell. She started to make small blue sparks form from her hands. Her serpent slowly came out. It has metal like scales the color of bronze and had a stubby tail and short fins and short eastern style whiskers. It looked at Rose's golden eyes and started to sway to the rhythm of her hands until Rose led it to the pool.

  My teacher clapped his hands and praised my best friend. Soon he looked over to the other students, passing by me as if I was just air. I started to watch my egg crack a little, soon my serpent was out of it's prison. Mine's had white scales and moved ever so gracefully ( as if this should have been Rose's serpent ) and had slender fins the color of fine silver, and a small silver horn was put right on it's little forehead. I started to make white sparks form from my hands and led the little serpent into the pool. Soon everyone's serpents were in, now the hard part began. Our teacher told us to make them fight. Even though my power is death I still could not bear to watch anything or anyone fight against each other. I sighed and controlled the little serpent to hide at the bottom of the pool and told it to wait till the fighting was over. Rose did the same to her's as well.

  When the class ended all the serpents ( not including mine's and Rose ) were all gone. Rose and I waited for our teacher to step out of the room, and when he did Rose bent over the pool and took out the two serpents. Sadly I could not touch them, cause even with the spell on I still have a chance to kill newborn creatures. Rose wrapped them tightly in her hands until we reached our lockers, where we met Liana.

  Liana walked over to Rose and stared wide eyed at the little creatures. Liana giggled and started to play with them, she tickled their little noses and bellies. " So where you planning to keep them?" Liana asked Rose.

  " This one will stay with me." Rose said, holding the bronze creature. " This one is Dawn's." She told Liana. As she handed Liana the white serpent.

  " Can I keep him?" Liana asked me. I answered her with a nod. My parents did not allow any pet for me since they were afraid they would just die. Rose opened her locker and stuffed her books in. I touched one of the daisies inside Rose's locker and watch it turn from white to black. I sighed as I watched Rose reach out to the daisy and slowly turn it back to life.

   " I told you not to meddle with the plants." Rose reminded me, cause her spell only protected me from fellow humans ( normal and ones with powers ) and animals ( magical or not ).

     The school bell rang signaling lunch. The three of us walked towards the cafeteria, I took my tray as Rose and Liana took theirs. Rose asked for her lunch the lunch lady, and she got one of the most beautifully decorated cakes I have ever seen. ( Well its been like that ever since Rose got enrolled in this school ) Liana asked for hers and got the average meal like everyone else, except me. When it was my turn the lady gave me a large frown which pulled my mood down, and she gave me a sloppy thing which I thought I saw it move. I sighed and walked over to our table, it was like that ever since the lady found out about my power.

     Rose looked at my food and took pity on me. She handed her lunch to me and stared at an orange tree outside the school. She waved her hand to the left and the orange tree suddenly outstretched a branch towards the window. Rose stood up, opened the window and plucked the orange from the branch. She waved her hand to the right and watched as the tree's branch went back to normal. Liana and I just sat there eating the food. She did this for me everyday because of that evil lunch lady.

   The bell rang and soon all of us had to part ways and go to our classes. After that everything went to it's usual routine. Girls laughed, mocked , bullied or ran away from me. But what can I do if I get mad at them I could end up killing them cause even the spell cannot contain anger.

   When the day was done I ended up walking towards my dorm, with Liana behind me holding the white serpent around her hands. She unlocked the door and we both went in, since we were room mates with Rose.
