Cold.

Alone.

Weak.

Miserable.

That's all of the emotions that were swirling in my mind. I had no one to talk to and nothing to do here. I wasn't even allowed to leave this place.

I should probably start from the beginning.

Hello. My name is Maya, and I was just a normal girl who did the normal things that any other teenager would do. I went to school, went shopping at the town square, and I attended various parties in my village.

My mother and father were the best parents you could ask for, and my older sister was like my best friend.

I lived a normal, happy life...

Until a weird, old lady moved into our town. She claimed that she was a witch with magical powers.

Her name was Agatha, and she just so happened to be a new teacher at my school. How wonderful.

The next day at school, my friend Beatrice and I walked into our classroom to be greeted by the one and only Agatha.

"Good morning class. Please take your seats so that we can begin our lesson" she said.

"Your old history teacher, Mrs.Hollie has been very ill, and sadly won't be teaching history here at Riddmore." she explained.

"Now that I am the new teacher, I think that I should learn all of your names. When I point to you, please state your first and last names" she told us.

After everyone else said their first and last names, it was my turn.

"And I am Maya Fergison" I stated.

"Fergison? Fergison, as in your great-grandmother's name is Juliet?" Agatha asked me.

"Uhh... yes. Are you a friend of hers or something?" I asked her.

"Oh, no. We are far from friends. That backstabber. I wouldn't even say that we're acquaintances," she muttered.

"What did you say?!" I questioned in disbelief.

"Oh nothing! Any-who, don't forget to review your notes because there will be an exam next week. Class is dismissed."

After the bell rang, everyone left the room except for Beatrice and I. I told Beatrice to meet me in the cafeteria after I was done speaking with Agatha.

"Oh. Look who it is. The infamous Maya Fergison," she snarled,"what do you want?"

"You have no right to talk about me or my great-grandmother. We haven't done anything to upset you," I said.

"Haven't done anything to upset me?! How would you know what she did? You weren't even born! If I were you, I'd leave before I get put in my place!" she shouted.

"I'm not afraid of you!" I yelled back, "what's the worst that you could do to me you...you...old hag?"

Now I instantly regretted what I had said. Agatha's face turned a weird reddish green color. Her evil smirk turned into a wicked grin from ear to ear, and she let out a loud and obnoxious laugh.

Then, the room started to shake, the windows flew open and closed, and the floor beneath my feet began to rumble, causing it to crack. After all of that shaking and rumbling the floor collapsed, causing me to fall into the dark and unknown.

This is just the beginning of the end.
