Grænin's Siege(Book 1)

Chapter 1

(By Leafpaw1000)

(11 years earlier)

4 year old Tara looked up at her mother expectantly. Her mother said she would meet a new friend today!

"Alrighty Tara, here she is!" Her mother said.

The girl there had orangey red hair, and pretty blue eyes. "Let's play with dolls!" She exclaimed.

"Okay!" Tara said happily.

(5 minutes later)

Tara screamed for her mother. "MOMMY! BRIARS NOT LETTING ME DO WHAT I WAAAANT!"

"WELL TARA WONT LET ME DO WHAT I WANT TO DO!" Briar screeched.

They both came down in tears.

"M-Mommy? T-take me home!" Tara sobbed.

Briar's and Tara's mothers tried to get them together again, but failed. Eventually, the stopped trying.

(2 years later)

Tara and Briar were able to go to school together in 1st grade. They were put in every possible class together, and the hate between them grew. Tara thought Briar was annoying, and Briar thought Tara was mean.

(5 years later)

Tara had been doing a very good job at avoiding Briar over the years. Now she was 11, she shouldn't be having outbursts at people.

She was doing her Chemhistory homework when she heard the sound of breaking glass, and a woman.. screaming?

She ran downstairs to find her mother lying limp on the ground, a knife in her heart. Tara screamed for her dad.

Tara became distant from everybody at school, even her friends. She eventually lost human contact all together. Well, except for her dad.

(Back to the present)

(Tara's PoV)

I combed my long black hair and put on a bit of icy blue eye-shadow. I was being shipped off to another boarding school for young Magi. Better make this one count. I checked my face in the mirror. Emerald green eyes that always looked cold? Check. Thin lips not able to curve into a smile? Check. Looks like I was all there. Great. I'd have another roommate asking about my decor and my personal facts. Great. More teachers making me do dumb quizzes to see what element I was. Perfect. I'll be skipping most of these classes.

"Tara?! Tara Ursula Trevil come down right this minute!" My dad's new wife, Chiniqua, screamed.

"Coming!" I screamed.

Chiniqua's two 5 year olds, Cherri and Terri, ran up and tugged at my pantleg.

"Mommy says we get your room after they ship you out for good!" Terri squealed.

"Good luck with that, Shorty." I replied, putting on some mascara.

Terri put on a pouty face. "I'm not short!" She grumbled.

I bent down to Cherri and Terri. "I'll give you guys a price of candy if you help me with my stuff!"

I had basically packed my whole room, so I really needed help.

C and T nodded quickly.

After they helped me down, I said goodbye to my dad.

"Good bye Pumpkin!" He said.

"Erm, yes good bye Pumpkin?" Chiniqua said.

That annoyed me. Nobody calls me pumpkin but dad!

"Okay first of all, nobody calls me Pumpkin but dad, and second, you have never been my mother and you will never be. Let's go dad." I retorted.

Dad drove me to the bus stop. I got on the bus and was instantly there.

I got to my dorm room and set up my side of the room. I set up a black wood desk, a black wood easel, my black wood canopy bed, and my dark blue fluffy chair.

I put my clothes in the provided dresser and started to set up my bed.
