The Academy

Chapter 1

I could see my moms face above me, lowering me down in a baby crib. The little blue sea shells hanging above the crib bumped against each other making a chime sound, making me giggle. I looked back into my moms face and saw how happy she was just looking at me, but I also noticed a hint of fear in her eyes. Afraid of what was going to happen next. There was a big banging sound on the front door of the house. My mother jumping a little when and answered the door. I didn't know who it was but my mother came rushing back into my room. She picked me up and ran with me to the back door and but me in a little hole in the hill. After being surrounded by darkness when she put a plant infringement of the entrance, I heard her foot prints running away from where I was. After hearing nothing I heard screaming from the house. The screams from my mother my older brother and my father, then I could smell the crackling and the smell of fire.......

I sat up with a jolt, "gosh, I had the same dream again." I muttered to myself. I get out of my bed and walked out of my room, closing the door quietly so I wouldn't wake my roommate Lina.
I walk down the quiet halls of the girls dorms of the Academy, and noticed how peaceful it was. I was walking down the hallway with my fingers trailing the wall to my right when I heard somebody behind me, I froze.
"Well, shouldn't you be asleep Ms. Alex." The voice belonged to my best friend Liam. We have been friends for as long as I remember. I turned to see him standing in the middle of that hallway with his arms crossed across his chest.
"Well Mr. Liam, that also goes for you. And also, why are you in the girls dorms?" I said also crossing my arms.
"Well, umm, I sensed that you were awake. You can call it the best friend bond between us." He replied with a grin. I too smiled and walked to him.
When I was to his side, he put his arms around me, in a brotherly way. I smiled into his chest, he had this warmth to him that made him so trust worthy and he also had this scent that made you calm. It smelt like the shampoo that he uses, lemons. I pulled away looking up to him, "So, what would you like to do at this hour?" He asked me.
"I just want to see my father. I had the same dream tonight."
My father was the academies director. Nobody really knew that he was my dad, only Liam. When people found out, they would treat me differently. Which I didn't really like. If you really knew me, I don't like being in the center of attention. I felt suffocated and like a nobody, I just couldn't be in that position again.
