Chapter 1

                                                                                                   Dark

The sunset was beautiful as always. They are gorgeous, different, unique; still, magnificent.

A girl was sitting in the living room watching as the sun set down. Darkness started to take every single particle of light. Watching from the couch the window, just waiting. She had dark brown hair with green eyes. She was playing with a silver necklace.A symbol was carved on it.The symbol was a same-colored leaf with a shiny little diamond in its center. She was swinging it, again, and again.

"Can you stop doing that, its stressing me out."A boy with grey eyes and black hair said, taking away the necklace." You know that it is not a toy, right?"

"I didn't know that, dear Andrew." She said with sarcasm. Standing now, she left the couch and moved to Andrew.

"Now, can you give it back?" She extended her right hand to him.

"Will you stop?" Drew said

"You know the answer to that question; you just don't want to face it."

"Fine, Nerea." Nerea's lips twisted as she heard her full name.

"Don't call me with by my full name." She claimed. "You know I hate it."

"You started."Andrew walk past her. "We have to get going, it's getting late."

"Is it necessary, Drew?" Nerea asked.

"You know the answer to that question; you just don't want to face it." He said giving her a smile.

"So funny," She said. "Then let's go, it's almost time."

Andrew walked to the door. He went out first and Nerea followed.

Light began disappearing. Darkness taking its place. Light became a memory or an illusion.

The sunset's light passed as an enchantment in the halls of Vrai Lux High School.Light was giving its last breath before darkness took its place. Vrai Lux High School was a spacious school, one of the biggest in Portland.And one of the best ones in every possible way. Some people would call it magical, which wasn't a lie. It was as magical as its students, that was the reason why not anyone could enter.

An academy so perfect has its defects;still,it had mighty enemies, too.Its students weren't as beloved by everyone nor they loved everyone. Not all could get so close or be close to the Lux apprentices.And they knew it. Protectors of the light, warriors of it, warlocks who used it. The light was part of them and they were part of it.They believed light was found everywhere. They could light up any situation. That was certain.

Equal as them, there were the Tenebris apprentices.Able to control any type of dark magic. Both apprentices had different types of abilities. They were really different from each other. Their personalities, their powers, the way they dressed, how nature had dote them differently. Hate was spread between apprentices.  

Stephanie was a 16-years-old light apprentice. She studied in Vrai Lux High School. Steph was getting some books in her locker. Her blonde hair was tight up in a pony tail.

"Are you going?"A girl with light brown her and hazel eyes asked.

"Obviously." Stephanie said.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know."

"It's fine, Lia." Steph said. "Why do you apologize?"

"What I didn't... is that ..." Natalia said. "Sorry, it's just..."
