Ever After High Myra's Tale *Book 1* (On Hold)

September 16th

~Myra~

I go over to sit next to Vanessa. We hadn't talked to each other just doing our sides of the work. I saw her drawing sometimes but I didn't want to interrupt her and ruin our friendship or if we even had one.

We had been sitting next to our partners these last few days which was perfectly fine but I felt like we were the two that never communicated with each other that much. I looked over at the other people talking and smiling with each other. Couldn't we be like that? About ten minutes of working we got called out.

Our class stayed in a group as we walked around and through the hallways. The professor told us to quiet down sometimes because there was other classing going at this time.

I looked through some of the windows seeing what each class was learning about. They all looked enchanting but they didn't seem that exciting. When we passed by a class with a black door unlike the others, I wanted to take a peek. I saw a magic class starting I really wanted to see what was going on. Since I was in the front of the group I stopped for a minute to try to see what was going on.

The girl who was supposedly named Raven came up to the top of the class. I skinny bone like lady was teaching everyone by the looks of it.

Raven had dark swells under her eyes probably from sadness and anger. She did not seem a tad happy about going to the front of the class. I almost could feel the movements of her black heels clicking and clacking up to the table by the whiteboard. It had a small purple feather on it alone. I knew Raven didn't have a good feeling about what she was going to do.

She took a deep breath and she made magic. A burst of purple went from her hands to the petite feather. I slowly lifted off of the table. Ravens eyes closed as I felt determination through her. Oh how cool it would be able to do that.

When the feather had reached about 10 inches off of the ground she open her eyes. She no longer had a frown. A smile extended across her face. I thought she had done good but I saw the bony lady mouth a probable yell. Raven all of a sudden clenched her hands into fists quickly from hearing the yell out of nowhere.

Then the little feather disintegrated into dust no longer there but gone.

The happiness that had once flowed through Raven was gone. The class and teacher clapped and cheered. Hmm I thought she was evil to the core as Faybelle had closely described but I was having doubts. I see that the last person in the line had turned out of the hallway. I run quick to catch up with them. Thankfully the Professor hadn't noticed.

We open the doors and go outside. The sun was barely getting into the horizon since it was first period. It wasn't dark really at all. The grass was still damp though from the previous night.

We took about a 15 minute walk across the outside of the school and over to the entrance of the forest. It almost gave me the chills to see how dark it still was in there.

We got lined up next to each other and got this sort of popper thing. I didn't really know what to do with it but I waited for instruction.

The professor came out in front of us. The sun was shining a bit more now and I would feel the warmth of the sun. He adjusted his glasses and began to speak.

"Hello class and today something important is going to happen. Playing a part in your story is so vital that nature will rise to help you. You will have an animal drawn to you from the woodlands, to help you with your destiny. "

Everyone seemed so hexcited about getting a pet. Well not me.

What if I ended up with a gray dog with rough fur. Or maybe I would get a stinky old rat. These thoughts made me want to hurl. Ugh.

Ginger Witch stopped the commotion of people talking about who they might get and their happiness. " What do we have to do? " Ginger asked politely.

" Well, all you have to do is call out your name then pull these spell poppers I have for you. Now we will start in the front of the row. Holly you go. " Professor orders.

Holly smiles and gets in position. " Holly O'Hair! " she calls out and pulls the popper. It makes a pop sound with confetti. A small auburn colored kitten crawls out of the forest into Holly's hands.

" Fawn Crown! " Fawn calls. A deer with a pink pattern on its back prances out.

" Katelyn CrackerNuts! "

A badger.

" Ansi Heels! "

A cockatoo.

" Vanessa Doll! "

A coyote pup.

" Derek Knight! "

A black mustang.

The line moved faster than I could of thought. Hmm.

Soon enough it was my turn. I was the last in line. Most people began to name and play with their new companions while a few wanted to see who I got then do what the rest are doing.

" Myra Dustily! " I shout with pain and hope. I held my breath thinking about what might happen next. I stood still awaiting my fate.

All of a sudden I saw some shadow fly at me. I ducked with horror but amazement. What was that? That was not a rat. I turn around and I gasped. Was that an owl?!? What the....

It flew on my shoulder and I could feel it was smiling ear to ear. Wait it didn't have ears but you get it.

Nobody was in as much awe as me. What would a owl have to do with my story?

-- Lunch --

I didn't see Carrie or Ella at our table. Where were they?

I checked all parts of the castleteria but they were nowhere to be seen. I sat over at the table hexcept I was by myself again.

I turned around a few minutes later and Faybelle was behind me. Huh? She was with Duchess.

" Myra what's the pet you got? " Faybelle asks with a grin.

" None of your business unless you tell me yours and why you are asking me. " I stammer back at them.

" Well we wanted to ask just for fun. Our pets are totally fableous. I got this fab swan. " Duchess responds.

" Oh and I got a monkey but he's not a normal one. He is Dark and adorable at the same time. We left ours in that room we all had to put ours in till school ends only for today. Now answer our question. What did you get? " Faybelle questions again.

" Uh I got a...well you probably won't believe me... " I state.

" Say it!!! " Duchess and Faybelle pressure me at the same time.

" An owl! I think its a barn one but I haven't named it yet. Now just go please. " I say with an upset feeling.

" Really? " says Duchess.

" Wow. Would you like to sit with us Myra? This time we have enough room. " Faybelle motions.

" I think I am fine here- "

" You don't have a choice now come dear. " Duchess pulls me torward the table.

I guess we were friends again. Or so I thought.
