Academy Of Witches.

Chapter One. | Blackwood Bloodline .

" Anna Rose Blackwood. Get in here right now young lady! "

Mom yells from the sitting room.

" Coming Mom. "

I yell back with them same zest. I ran downstairs and into the sitting room where she sat together with my aunt Freya.

" Sit. "

Mom says when I walk into the sitting room. Her face was serious. I hesitated to sit until her face broke into a smile.

" Sit Anna you're not in trouble, This time."

I did as told and I sat down. The room was filled with a heavy silence until my aunt spoke.

" Anna you'll be turning eighteen in a few days. "

Mom says,stating the obvious. I nod and then she continued.

" There is something your aunt and I need to tell you about the Blackwood Bloodline."

I nod and then spoke.

" Okay what about it? "

I asked clueless to what they were going to tell me.

" We're witches. "

When mom said that we're witches I started laughing.

" This is no laughing matter Anna. "

Aunt Freya says sternly.

" Okay Mom, if I'm a witch. How come I don't have powers? "

I asked rolling my eyes.

" You will a few days from now. On your eighteenth birthday to be exact "

Mom says with a smile.

Can't believe I'm a witch and she is now telling me. My family,my whole blood line are witches.

" Wtf! My eighteenth birthday? This is some crazy joke right Mom?"

I asked feeling a little betrayed that so much about myself have been kept away from me until now. I thought I was a normal teen. I even had hopes of having a normal boyfriend that has now been shattered,I mean who would want a witch for a girlfriend.

" Watch your mouth young lady and no I'm not joking. "

Mom says her tone of voice serious.

Great. ( note the sarcasm.)

What next will she'll tell me? Will she tell me that she's sending me to some crazy school for witches. Oh that would be the freaking cherry on the cake. It was like seeing the future because that is exactly what she said a moment later.

" Anna there is also one more thing I have to tell you. "

She says,her face looking a little sad.

" I'm sending you to the Academy of witches. Every Blackwood has gone to that school including me. "

I look at my mom in disbelief. She could be serious. There wasn't a hint of a joke on her face. If she was she show some sign of a smile.

" I'm not going mom. I'm not especially not a few days before my birthday. "

" I'm sorry sweetie but you leave tomorrow. They will send a car to pick up and take you there. "

Mom says, her tone of voice final leaving room for no questions. They were coming for me tomorrow.

And it's Final.

N͟e͟x͟t͟ D͟a͟y͟

Last night I barely got in any sleep I kept thinking about this Academy, not that there were a lot to miss in my old school I had no friends. I'm always a loner no matter where I am. And it was no guess that I would probably be a loner in the Academy too. And just like my mom said they showed up.

And very early.

It was barely after six in the morning, When I looked out my window,I saw three people dressed in black cloaks. I ran downstairs and looked at the front door as Mom sat by the fire place. There were three knocks before my mother went to the door and opened it. They came inside and she greeted them.

" Marcus, Sol, Cain, Welcome. Welcome Elders. "

She says with a smile.

" We're here for the young one. "

They say in unison looking in my direction.
The one my mother called Marcus smiled at me and then spoke.

" Young Anna. "

" Marcus. " I say not caring about the formalities.

" Brave. " he says laughing a little. He then turns to my mom.

" Is she ready? "

My mom asked. Marcus nods. My mom smiles and then hands me a book with a strong leather cover. It looked old. I opened it but nothing was written inside.

" What's this? "

I asked, not understanding why my mom gave me an empty old book.

" You will need to write down spells and potions that you'll learn at the Academy. "

Mom says answering my question.

" Now go upstairs get dressed and get your things. "

Aunt Freya says. I nod and go upstairs. I showered and got dressed. I wore a black turtle neck and blue jeans, and my boots. I piled my hair in a messy bun on top my head. I then grabbed my bag and headed downstairs and back to the sitting room where I left Mom,aunt Freya and the Elders.

" Ready. "

I say, when I honestly wasn't. I can't believe I'm being sent to an Academy with witches if I told any one this they would say I'm crazy. Mom and I hugged each other and said our goodbyes. The Elders then stood in front the door. Marcus in front. He then knocked the staff he was holding in hand on the ground six times. After he did that he opened the door and I saw a completely different world outside instead of my front lawn. Mom gave me a purple cloak and kissed me on my cheek on last time before I followed the Elders through the door and into another world or realm.

" Be safe. "

Mom murmured.

" I will Mom,I love you. "

I say before the door closes.

After I said goodbye to Mom I followed the Elders in silence. I made no effort to make conversation with them. I was to busy talking in all the things that I was seeing. Things like a fairies,unicorns and trolls.

" Stay close Ms Blackwood. You wouldn't want to get lost. "

Marcus says.

I stayed closes. It felt like I was working for hours rather than minutes for some reason on known to me my energy felt drained. I didn't understand

Why.

Was it because I didn't have breakfast yet or was time a lot faster here. Wherever here is. We walked until we came in front of two big black gates and right away I knew it was the Academy. There was something that looked like a barrier over it.
