Chapter 2; Slection

Pic Above is of Saph in her feral form! Hope you enjoy this chapter! ;)

"Saph are you sure you want to do this? You know we are basically a deer carcass waiting to be laid out for the pack if we get caught." Chase watched me as I pulled my hair up in a short ponytail and flip a dark green hood over my head.

"Yeah, yeah I know," I mumbled and buttoned the two buttons at the top of the cloak. "But I don't want to leave you guys, so I'm at least going to try and come with." I looked up into Chase's amber eyes that were full of worry. I patted him on the shoulder and gave him a grin, "Besides, I'll take the heat if we get caught if that's what you're worried about." I snickered at him. I was never one for letting other people take my credit and punishments were no different. Especially dealing with my friends.

I waved a hand and Chase stood, we both walked down my stairs to see my aunt and Devon having a very awkward conversation about biscuits. I brushed past him grabbing his hand, pulling him up towards the front door. "Uh... Talk to you later Miss!" Devon called out and saluted to my aunt before yanking his hand out of my grip and following suit behind me.

I gave him a pointed look once we got outside. "What?" He gave me a forced smile that I rolled my eyes at. "C'mon, we're going to be late." I turned once again, and this time kept my head down in hopes of not being spotted.

I planned out what I was to do in my head; Step one; Get a cloak to disguise myself, Check! Step two; Make it to the academy sign ups without being spotted. Trying to do so... Step Three; Hopefully they accept girls into the academy... I groaned inwardly and rolled my light lilac eyes.

Chase and Devon came up next to me, further blocking me from the slowly growing crowd. I hissed slightly as someone stepped on my foot that was currently cover by some black zipper boots that had a slight heel on them. Don't get me wrong, not anything crazy like high heels, but slight heels you can find on hunting boots.

So apparently how this selecting thing works is that all the people that want to get into the academy line up, doesn't matter the gender, but usually, only the boys get in because it's more common to get a magic ability if your male or some crap like that.

The person mutters an apology before getting in line behind me. Both Chase and Devon where in front of me and didn't seem to notice our little interaction. They were too busy nervously fidgeting. Other than me, one other girl who had a very light blue satin dress on who was in line. As the growing crowd found their seats I forced my hood to further conceal my face by pulling it.

I nearly jumped out of my seat when a booming voice spoke over the speakers present. "Hello everyone! Welcome to the annual selections for the academy!" Cheering and whistling along with the occasional werewolf howl were heard from the audience. The speaker, raised his hand to silence the crowd before speaking again, "Today, we are going to accept 5 boys and 5 girls into the school." He turned to the people in the line smiling brightly. I flinched when his gaze passed over me and directed my own eyes to the ground.

He turned back to the audience and held out his staff, that had a sparkling rose quartz stone shaped like a lotus flower on the top. He carefully unsnapped the stone from the staff and held it up for everyone to see. "You are too put a drop of your blood on the stone, which will absorb it and flash a color from red to blue. Blue being the strongest of the magic users and Red being weakest." He turned to the first boy in the line and beckoned him to the stage.

The boy cautiously stepped up beside him and the speaker held out the stone for him. The boy scooped it up into his hands and pricked his finger on the sharp edge of one of the petals. Nothing. The boy let out a disappointed breath, and the speaker said some encouraging words to him. This went on for three more boys until; A brown haired blue eyed boy stepped up to the stage confidence and power radiating off him in waves.

I narrowed my eyes at the boy, realizing this was the Alpha's son. I snorted and looked down slightly as he scooped up the stone sliding his finger down a petal and drawing blood. After a few seconds, the stone absorbed the blood and glowed a neon orangish amber color.

The speaker took back the stone, the boy wearing a stoic face. "I hereby welcome Liam Park to the academy!" Cheering erupted from the crowd and I flinched when a boy behind me let out a long shrill howl.

I focused on my hand for the rest of the time until 2 more boys were picked out with their colors being yellow and red. I looked up and smiled lightly as a nervous Chase stepped up to the stage. Sliding his own finger down the center of the stone and wincing only slightly he watched the stone for a second before it glowed a yellow-green color. "I hereby welcome Chase Scald to the academy!" This time I did let out a low whistle of encouragement for my friend who looked as if he could explode with happiness.

Then I watched as the girl in the pretty light blue satin dress stepped up to the stage, I could hear boys behind me whispering, "Whys a girl ever trying out?" "pfft, she not going to get in...". I stiffened at those words a prayed to the moon she would get in.

She slid her finger over the nearest petal and drew blood. Nothing. I cursed myself or probably jinxing her but ignored it and instead focused on Devon, who was making his way stiffly up to the stage. Running his finger down the middle of it, as Chase did he didn't wince or even take notice of the small cut he now had on his finger but instead watched as the stone lit up a neon green color.

"I hereby welcome Devon Collins to the academy!" the speaker announced earning another low whistle from me. "Now we are full on boys, so sorry but you all need to go home." I lowered my head pondering what I should do.

I clenched my fist and uncovered my head my dark red auburn hair spilling out in its loose ponytail. The speaker looking at me slightly surprised beckoned me up to the stage, earning me more whispers and a very loud yell which would probably be my aunt.

I let out a low growl shutting everyone up and stepped up to the stage. I allowed my teeth to elongate and I bit into my own finger. Then I held it over the flower looking stone and watched as my blood dripped onto it. Immediately after my blood was absorbed I had to cover my eyes from the strong blue glow coming from the flower, almost looking white.

When the glowing stopped everyone was silent. Then Chase nudged Devon roughly and started clapping. Then slowly the clapping turned into whistles and hoots from the entire crowd. The speaker smiled down at me and quietly asked my name before silencing them. "I hereby welcome our first girl to the academy, Sapphire Phoenixflare!" I smiled at the crowd until I met my aunt's gaze.

She was glaring at me and stepped out of the crowd towards my home. I let out a long breath. And looked to the moon which was just coming over the horizon. Tonight's going to be a long night...
