Revealed Darkness

Chapter 1

I woke with a start, gasping for air that didn't seem to be in reach. My mind was grasping for reality when I saw him. He was my weakness, the thing that would tear me apart piece by piece. I hated him for doing this to me. I thought to myself how could someone, just some average someone have such a powerful effect on ME! I am stronger than some average man wanting to take me up on some stupid booty call.

Okay I might be going a little over the top with the all powerful thing but what can I say? I'm a dreamer and a big one at that. I laughed at myself thinking, oh Danica you are the darnedest thing. I smiled and got up and went to my closet.

My school was very strict, the girls had to wear dresses or a skirt and the boys dress pants and a tie. And all of the dresses, skirts, and ties came in two different colors, red and blue, the pants having to be black and shirts white. I grabbed a red dress from my closet with some black flats. The dress was simple it went to the middle of my knees and was very flowy. It had spaghetti straps with a line under my chest going all the way around, and on my chest were little layers of fabric some criss-crossing each other. My hair was dark brown and went to the middle of my shoulder blade, which was the perfecto length. My eyes were a dark emerald green that sometimes looked cloudy when I got mad.I know it's really weird with the dress thing but my school was made in the 1500's and everyone wore dresses back then and it's just never changed! Except of course the styles of the clothing.

I slipped on my shoes and gathered all of my books for school and opened the door. I practically ran into my best friend Vanessa when I walked out. She smiled straight at me and grabbed my hand and began to run towards our school.

Vanessa was very pretty compared to a lot of girls, she had dirty blonde hair the same length as mine. Everything about her was perfect! Her lips, her face, her big beautiful brown eyes, her body ugh makes a girl jealous! NO I am not lesbian that's just how she is.

My face was kind of heart shaped and u had to admit I was pretty sexy. Gosh don't you hate those girls who need to be told they are pretty by someone? And even if they are told they don't believe it? Pretty soon people are gonna just call them ugly! People need to learn how to take a dang compliment!

The only different thing about Van was that she couldn't speak a lot. She has full capability to do so but when Van turned five the wicked bitch of the west cast a spell on her because her parents killed the witches brother.

I was Vanessa's friend before we were even born, which really helped with the whole communication thing. The Great Luna, the moon Goddess, created what is called now, The Before Time. She created The Before Time during the 1600's when the supernatural races were at war. Instead of the women getting pregnant with that big bulge making them fat and very vulnerable, The Great Luna carried the babies in the moon. Where she taught them the supernatural ways and taught them discipline and showed them who they were.

Say if two wizards have a baby it would have to be a wizard baby. Luna would show the child some things about wizards and if he/she accepted to become a wizard he/she would survive and be placed in The Before Time, where all the supernatural born went if they accepted who they would be. If the baby didn't accept it they would die in a matter of days and become a star in the sky. Also if there were two species that mated like a Tumbler ( a person who can change into a horse) and a werewolf the baby would have two choices to pick from, if the child didn't accept they would face the same fate as the trueblood. A trueblood is in other words a purebred and a halfblood is basically like a cross breed. I know I bet you are thinking that we are idiots for letting a baby choose it's fate but actually supernatural babies are as smart as the average human at the age of 35 or 40. So if the babies did survive they would wait three months before coming to earth. Yes three months we are supernatural we don't have to wait to be born as long as humans do.

I was snapped back to reality when Vanessa pinched my arm. I turned to look at her and glare. She met my stare with no hesitation. I couldn't help but smile when she did and motioned for her to follow.

"Come."

I smiled at her hesitant way of talking, almost as if she thought it would run away if she talked too fast.

She knew very few words and I had been giving her lessons on how to speak sense we were five and she has only learned the words, come, water, smile, eat, dollar, and yes I thought this was necessary, bitch. You have to fight with words too so I helped her out. I was now trying to teach her how to say stop. You would think it would be simple but her mouth locks up whenever she tries to speak. It would take us months to try to figure out a word. The longest it ever took was three years and the shortest was eleven months. Vanessa was very frustrated when she couldn't speak but when Van got mad it helped her mouth unlock to let her speak.

The warning bell rang for the students to get to class so me and Van walked quickly to our science lab period.

I burst through the door and almost fell back from the smell that never ceased to disgust me. Our lab smelled like frogs and worms and many different kinds of potions.

Our lab teacher Mrs. Norris was a short women well she was a troll after all and trolls were not ugly or beautiful, they were normal looking except they all had a symbol on the back of their hand that looked like a sun. Yes there are also regular sized trolls they all aren't short like in human fairy tales.

I sat in my assigned seat which was right in front of Van. I turned and started talking to her. I know she couldn't respond well but she told me once that she liked listening to my stories so I kept telling her them. She could still write, nothing wrong with those hands over there people.

The room was filled with chatter when there was a loud smack that came from the front of the room. Mrs. Norris was at the front of room with a yardstick in hand. The look on her face told me she had been trying to get out attention for some time.
