Book 1

Great, I regret my decision... well more or less. I'm getting sent to a military academy because I got on the wrong bus. Ok yes this is a lot more worse than it sounds. The worst part is that this academy is called the All American BOYS Military Academy Yay. Guys on the bus are staring at me, calling me a bad girl, but in the good way. Well luckily I am not the only girl on this horror of a bus ride, There is another girl in the way back with her hood up. I can't see her face, but I can see her dark brown hair. Or maybe that's just the lighting. Ok let me introduce myself, I am Sapphira and I am the "princess" of Wolfshire. Or so I am told by many people, who have seen my picture in newspapers and magazines, LOST PRINCESS the heading says with my picture in it. Well I heard the King and Queen both died so now I'm suppose to be queen. I do not like that thought very much. And I heard before my dad became king he was in the military so I guess I fit right in. After the bus stops at the academy we all get off the bus and it drives away as i got off. I fell and dropped all my stuff on the dusty, loose gravel road. "Are you alright?" Asks a voice above me. "Yes I am fine." I say as I look up.

He helped me up and picked my stuff. He handed it to me and said "That bus driver isn't very nice, sorry." He bowed "My name is Ethan" he said very politely. I liked that he was very polite, but he probably had a girlfriend. If he didn't I would be surprised!  We all went to go sign in, Ethan looked as I signed my name, so neat in my cursive writing. Anyways after that we all were assigned to cabins. I was really happy when I got put in a cabin with the other girl, Ethan, a guy named Jerome, and a guy named Noah. That's right, 5 per cabin. We all went to our cabins and got situated. Me and the girl got a bunk, Ethan and Jerome got the other bunk and Noah got the couch. Yea, these cabins were actually really nice. Surprisingly. "Oh good I'm not the only girl." A voice called. I look behind me and there was the only other girl in this whole 100 boys, well 98...

"Hi my name's Scarlett." She said. "Hi I'm Sapphira." "That's a pretty name." Jerome interrupted. "Thanks" I said politely. Scarlett took her hood off and to my surprise she had nice light black hair, not grey. Her sweatshirt was the color of midnight black with a little white symbol that meant "Sister".. Weirdly I had a sweatshirt really similar. Mine was snowy white with a black symbol. "Woah you too look like you could be sisters, I mean the symbols, your names. You two are the spitting image of sisters." Noah said. We looked at each other. "ROLL CALL" called the director. Everyone ran out of the cabins.

Everyone lined up as the director called names. "Noah Beadeth" "Here" Noah called. "Ethan Turell" "Here!" Ethan called.  "Sapphira Wolf?" "Here" I called. "Scarlett Wolf?" "Here" she called. "And Jerome Zuhanic" "Here!" Scarlett and I exchanged looks. We have the same last name, same symbol on our sweatshirts, and... wow. Now I believe it, me and Scarlett, just might be sisters. "Wolf Sisters!" The director called. Scarlett and I ran up. "Yes Sir?" We both ask. "Why are there two girls in my academy for boys?" He asks. "We don't know sir, we were both sent here by mistake." Scarlett replies. "Hmm, You two better be good little ladies!" He yelled. That made me mad. "We are not your little ladies, We are young women sent here by mistake." I said as I looked at Scarlett. "We are both 16 and I don't care why we were sent here. Now stop being disrespectful to me and my sister!" I yelled back in a stern voice. The director looked as if I just scared the life outta him. "Yes, of course ma'am. My deepest apologies." He said.  He walked away and everybody started cheering.

"YEA SAPPH!!" "WHOO" "YOU'RE AMAZING!" After everybody went back to their cabins, Scarlett looked at me. "How did you know I was 16?" She asked me. "I looked at her and smiled, "Lucky guess..." I answered. She smiled back, "Heh, I guess that means we found each other." she said. I looked at her with a confused look on my face. Then I suddenly realized what she meant. We looked at each other, "We're sisters..." We said. The next morning, Everybody went to the picnic area for breakfast. The director saw me and hid.  "I guess I scared him pretty good." I said. "Yea, ever since he yelled at us just for being here, everyone has been against him... because of you"  Scarlett said with a smile. "Yea now everybody calls you a Myth because you're so beautiful and amazing you can't be real!" Jerome flirted. I have to admit, I did blush. "Heh Heh, Sapph I guess you're the Mythical Wolf of the family!"
