Not your Normal Necromancer

First Day Jitters

"BZZZZZZZZZZZ BZZZZZZZZZZZ"
I groggily sit up and rub my eyes. The sun shines through the window, hitting my cheeks, making me smile.

Hmmm I think some morning yoga with the spirits is in order today.
Getting out of bed I choose what inscents I want to use. Maybe a nice peppermint for reputation since schools coming up.
I quickly light the stick and set it on the holder.

Taking in a deep breath I move towards my mat and sit down. I let my body feel the energy around me. A light electric feeling starts and my head and works it's way down towards my feet getting stronger and stronger.

When I finally feel the energy is strong enough I start gracefully moving on the mat. Twisting and turning taking deep breaths in and out. All the while silver mist flowes from my palms moving around my body like it has a mind of it's own.

Soon spirits fill the room their bright light engulfing me. Some take the shapes as animals some as people. They dance around me sometimes going through me.
Suddenly there is a knock at my door.

"Honey are you up. It's the first day of school."

Oh shoot!! That's today. I quickly retract the spirits. Some just dissipate, others flow back into me. Next I summon the dead to help me pack a bag.

" hello friends. Um I'm running a little late today could you please put my ginger tea and lavender honey in my bag. Also please put the school supplies on my couch in there as well."

I smile at them in hopes they understand.

"And when your done with that add in my on the go essential oil kit. That's all"

I stand there and watch as it slowly makes its way around my room. After making sure hes doing the right thing I rush to the bathroom to quickly complete my morning routine. After that I pick what to wear.

First impressions are very important. What you wear and how you act can make or break your highschool career.

I think I'll go simple but fashionable.
Black skinny jeans and a loose pastel green top with strings on the chest. For shoes I think some nice white converse with pastel green strings.

I think I look adorable for someone who hangs out with the dead.
I check back in on the corpse and he seems to be doing fine.

Last but not least I need my essential accessories. An aventurine crystal necklace for confidence, special beads to help control the dead for emergencies, a bracelet infused with lavender to help with stress, and of course rings for aesthetic reasons.

Seeing that the corpse is done I send him away and grab my bag. I really hope everything is in here.

"Mom put some bread in the toaster please" I yell while running downstairs.

"Will do bubby" I hear her yell back.

When I get to the kitchen I quickly grab a thermos, and fill it with hot water. I'll use it to make tea during Lunch. Tomorrow I'll wake up early and pack a real lunch, with real food.

The toast comes up soon after and I quickly spread on some strawberry jam.

The school is close enough that I can walk but I still get nervous to see the bus go past.

"By mom love you. I might be home late but I should be back before 11"

"That's fine honey I'll make a plate for you. Itll be in the fridge"

On my way to the school I pass a couple of people I know. They all walk with earbuds in and their heads down. I however walk with all my senses alert and ready.

Occasionally a bad spirit will come and just cause mayhem. They feed off of the energy of the living. Some are really powerful and can influence the living. Others just feed without anyone knowing.

Anytime I run into these spirits I make sure to either purify or banish them. Purifying them is much easier than banishing them.

Finally getting to school with a few minutes before class. I pull out my schedule and look.

1st period Algebra- Mrs Porters
Free period
2cd period Cooking- Ms Aldridge
Study Hall
3rd period English- Mr Kings
Lunch
4th period Cooking- Mrs Malden

I make my way over to Mrs Porters. I really want to check for spirits and summon any if necessary. Sometimes they whisper answers, which works to my advantage during tests.

The room is like any other classroom. Math poster hang on the walls and desks are arranged in an odd semicircul shape facing the board.

I pick a seat towards the back and open my essential oil kit. Extra concentration will help during class and for summoning.

Kids start pouring in and choosing seats. The teacher comes in next so I put my kit away and get out a pencil.

"Hello I'm Mrs Porters. I hope your morning's going well. Class is only 45 mins today so I'll be quick explaining the syllabus"

I yawn and start to zone out. Every syllabus is the same so I'll just read it later.

Just as my eyes start to close I get a tingle on my head. And it's not some light relaxing tingle, no it feels like I was just electrocuted. My eyes burst open and dart around the room.

Then I see it. A large black spirit hovering just in the corner. Its face void of any emotion. My nerves start to rise and I shiver. If i can see it this clearly its powerful.

Suddenly the spirit disappeared. The tingling sensation doesnt leave as well so it's still here. Then in a blink of an eye it reappears in front of me. We lock eyes and I try my hardest to not to shake.

Dark energy oozes off of it. Slowly, without breaking eye contact. I reach behind my head and unclasp my beaded necklace.

The beads are made with agrimony infused clay which helps banish spirits. Once the beads are in my hand the spirit opens its mouth and starts screaming.

It quickly moves over to the Mrs Porters and starts to feed. My eyes go wide.

Welp, isnt this just a great first day.
