Camp For Mystics

Chapter One: New Neighbors

      "Forest! Wait up!" I heard a voice yell from behind me. I stopped to get her catch up. "What's up, Grace?" I asked. "I'm just heading home to finish packing for camp!" Suddenly I stilled. I drop to the floor in front of her and yell. "I'm so sorry! I'm not going to the same camp as you, and I knew how much you wanted to go to the same camp and none of our friends will be there I'm sorry!" She looked stunned. "But... You said that we were going to the same camp..." "We are." I said with a look on my face saying; I-am-a-bitch-and-imma-trick-you, while she has a face like; gurl-imma-get-you-back. We both laughed. "Let's go finish packing! We're neighbors, so you can help me out!" She said enthusiastically. "Fine..."
       Once we arrived at her house, we ran upstairs to her room. Almost as soon as we open her room door, an avalanche of clothes crashed onto our heads. "What. The. Hell." I said, unhappy with our situation underneath a mountain of shirts, shorts, skirts, and dresses. "So, about this mess... I need help cleaning it all up." About three hours later, we finished putting away the last dress and start packing some clothes, neatly this time. We gathered personal hygiene stuff, like a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, and some accessories to match the clothes.
      Next, we headed to my house. We get to my room, and she opens the door cautiously. When she is sure no clothes will fall on us, we step in. She gasped. "How is your room so damn clean?!" She screamed. "I organize everything daily, so nothing is ever out of place." On my bed laid my suitcase. We finished getting all the clothes and hygiene stuff into it and rush downstairs. When we get down though, we are met with some unknown faces. "Who are y'all?" I asked the, rather attractive, strangers. "New neighbors. Your brother invited us in." One of them said. "What the fuck, Zane." Grace and I both mutter under our breath. "Zane, get your ass downstairs, now!" We yelled simultaneously. We giggled a bit. Zane ran downstairs instantly. "Yeah?" He asked cautiously. "Why were you upstairs instead of with the guests you invited in?" I asked with a threatening tone. I am very, how do I say this, non-social. I rather dislike strangers, no matter who they are. Grace is one of my only friends, and we met many, many years ago, so I had a long time to get used to her. Eighteen years, to be exact. "Uh, um... Bye." He ran upstairs again. "Grace, get him." I sighed. "On it. Brb." And she sprinted after him.
      "Is there anything I can get you two?" I asked nervously. "No thanks." They both said. After a couple minutes, Grace walked down the stairs looking quite proud of herself, with a very upset Zane in tow. I laugh at the sight. "Nice job Grace!" Is all I manage to say I while Zane glares at Grace. I turn around to see the new neighbors trying not to laugh as well.
      Eventually one of them spoke up. "Both of us are going to a camp over the summer. The camp for mystics." One of them states. "Really?! Grace and I are both going to the same place!" I exclaim. The camp for mystics is a very special place were people with powers go to bond with others, get away from criticism, train, and pretty much just have fun. Grace uses Fire Caster magic. She can manipulate the gases around her to create fire, and control that fire. Like changing the temperature, the shape, and even the color! It's really cool. Zane is an Ice Caster. He can freeze water and manipulate the ice in the same way as Grace can. But me, I have the rarest and most powerful magic. According to my research, I am the only one with the power at the time. I'm an all-shifter. I can turn into any creature, even if it's a mythical one. If I can think of the shape, the behavior, the scent, and any abilities, I can turn into it. This means I can be essentially immortal. I am the only one who knows that I am the all-shifter. Both Grace and Zane simply think that I'm a werewolf, as wolves are one of my favorite animals to shift into.
      Along with my power, I get certain instincts. My most active instinct has something to do with mates. When I turned sixteen, a instinct became present that allows me to find my mate, a.k.a. the person that can connect with me better than anyone else, and the person I will love more than anything or anyone else.
      "So, what are your powers?" Grace asked, being the more outgoing of us. The neighbors simultaneously shifted into wolves. "Werewolves?" She asked? They nodded. "So handsome..." I accidentally said out loud. The taller one of the pair has black with white paws, making him look as if he was wearing socks, and had black eyes. The other one is grey with a black stripe going down his spine, his tail had a black tip, his paws were also white, and grey eyes. If wolves could smirk, they would be doing just that. "Shit, did I say that out loud?!" Grace and Zane laughed. "Yes you did." I blushed. After a couple minutes of watching us talk, they shifted back. "So, we looked nice as wolves, huh?" They be there say while smirking micheviously. "Uh, um... Yeah..." Is all I could say. They walked a little closer. "What are your names?" The taller one asked. "I'm Grace, this is Zane." She said pointing at herself and Zane. She then pointed at me. "That's Forest." They nodded. "I'm Leonardo, and that's Jaxson." The taller one Leonardo said. "Cool." "So, What are your powers? You saw ours already." Jaxson asked, looking at me. Grace created some fire. "I'm a Fire Caster." Zane made some ice. "I'm a Ice Caster." I shifted into a wolf. My wolf form is white with grey-tipped ears and tail, black paws, a blond stripe down my spine, and dark indigo eyes. Leonardo and Jaxson bowed. "Uh, why are you two bowing?" Grace asked confused. "She is the Alpha Female of the wolves. There is only one in the world, and is the most powerful wolf." Leonardo said, surprised that she didn't know. I shifted back quickly. Being the all-shifter, I am also the most powerful of any species, but nobody knows that. They think that I'm just a very powerful member of the species I've transformed into."Have you two packed yet? You know, for camp?" I asked. "Yep. We packed as soon as we got to our new home." Jaxson replies. "Good. It starts tomorrow, so be ready to have some fun!" Grace yelled
    With that, we all sat and talked until dinner, when the boys and Grace left to go home. Zane and I ate quickly and went to sleep, hoping for the best when we left the next day.

      Ok! That was the first chapter, I guess! So, ages. I didn't specify ages, I found this out after reading this a couple times. Grace is 19, Zane is 18, Forest is 19, Leonardo is 21, and Jaxson is 20. since they are that old, they are living by themselves. Zane is Forest's little brother, and they live together. Jaxson is Leonardo's little brother, and they live together. Song: I'm Not Your Hero by Tegan And Sara. Also, this chapter has about 1,300 words! Yay me!
