Chapter 3

I stuffed every last bit of clothing into the small box. Every article was wet and my room was flooded. I just couldn't believe that I was moving away from my friends and it was because I'm a witch. What if the Abbrobation do find out about me? What if something happens to my friends while I'm gone? These questions rolled in my mind, and I won't even mention the ones about Zoggins. Except, I wondered why I thought of him so much? Maybe it was because he's supposed to be dead, and could be a vampire or something.

Zoggs walks in the room, luckily, his type of robot can survive in water.

"Need help?" he asked, of course being a robot he didn't observe that I was done. I picked up one of the boxes and handed it to him.

"Here, Zoggs," I said, "You can help me carry these."

I took another box, and Zoggs and I continued to take trips up and down the stairs. It didn't take long to finally finish. One thing I noticed is boxes full of water are hard to carry. They get heavy and the cardboard starts to lose its shape and form. Even Zoggs had trouble with it.

It wasn't long until I helped my mom get the last bit of her things into the car we rarely used.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her, trying to coax her to letting us stay.

She sighed, "I'm sorry Zigalor, we need to do this for your own good. If we don't you'll be exposed to others and the Abbrobation. The boarder will teach you to control your powers enough for you to come back."

I sighed harder than she did. I didn't want to do this, but, like she said, it was for my own good. And it could be for others as well. If I didn't train at the boarder my powers could go out of control and seriously hurt someone. And the last thing I want to do is hurt Tayina, Kourtalor, Kenya, or Zoggins.

"How long will I be at the boarder?" I asked.

My mom paused, "I don't know. The only thing they say is that you train for as long as it takes."

"That's comforting," I said, sarcastically, "I can't even know how long I'll be at the boarder."

"I know," my mother says, "You'll get through it, I promise. One way or other, you'll get through it."

My mother gave me a small hug and kissed my forehead. Then, we slowly get into the car and start to drive to the boarder. My mom drove, Zoggs sat in the front, while I sat in the back.

While we go, I stare out the window and watch the houses I am familiar with just go away. We even went by Kenya's house. What also made me sad, was the house was empty. There was no one to wave to. Yesterday was my one and final goodbye.

It didn't take long at all before I started to see things I didn't recognize. The fog was lessening. The streets were getting better. The light was getting darker. Trees and forests were formed. The air seemed different. I didn't know how, but it did.

Eventually, it got so dark it seemed like it was night time. Maybe it was night time and I just didn't realize it. Or maybe time was different at the boarder. Nobody knows what the boarder is actually like. And if they do, they keep their mouth shut about it. If you go to the boarder and let people know about it, then they are a target for the Abrobation. Plus, maybe the boarder trains their students not to mention anything about them to keep their identity and location a secret.

It wasn't long until I swear I could see hidden houses or people. We were getting closer. Either that or I was hallucenating. Both options are possible, considering I've been sitting in a car bored out of my life. My mind might be giving me something to do.

Suddenly, the car stopped. I didn't understand. We were in the middle of nowhere.

"Mom, why did we stop?" I asked her.
