Breaking Through Darkness

Chapter 1

Ryah's point of view:

My first year here at New heights wasn't easy. My first two years at high school was at oak river, they were perfect until sophomore year. I fell for this kid in my history class named Andrew. He was 5'8" had these caramel brown eyes that you could melt into and deep brown hair he kept real short. I thought we were perfect together until I forgot about my studies and got kicked out of Oak River.

Andrew and I continued to date while I went to New Heights, things were not easy. By the time Junior year had started we started hitting a lot of rough patches and it was hell. By the time Christmas break came around I had enough. He couldn't even trust me around my friends so I broke it off. Relationships were so much easier back in the 19th century, no need to fall in love with who ever I wanted, just an arranged marriage. No need for heartbreak. I thought I was ruined, I thought I was gonna have to move to another place cause I was about to cause hell around here but mom told me that in this time and age people break up all the time like it's no big deal. But I was to me. I honestly thought I was gonna die because of this wrenching pain in my chest.

I didn't go to school for about a week after winter break. I stayed home and practiced my magic and my herbal medications. Not only did my heart not heal yet but the high council was ruining my life as well. The high council is the high power of those who are of the supernatural family. The high council was furious with me, I wasn't attending school like I had promised them and they weren't having it. So the next day I went to school and by my surprise the people I thought hated me held me in a warm embrace asking if I was okay. I didn't know that people even cared enough to ask if I was okay. And just then my luck was starting to change.
