The Mysterious Witch Myra Banks

"The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing."

The Professor's office was all oak and velvet. Apparently the headmaster of this school, Professor Robert Adams was a man in his sixties. The white flop of hair over his head, greatly reminded me of a typical grandfather figure. He was in some golden robes. All his fingers were adorned with rings of various gems. And I still couldn't believe I was here in this weird place.

      'Ah, Myra, I was expecting you today. I hope you had no difficulty in finding the school. Now first thing first, this place is called Woodstock High. Now I know it has quite an unflattering name, its a long story for another day, but its a school for supernatural beings just like yourself. And this will be your home for the next four years.' said the Professor.

Home. My first reaction was complete ecstacy on finding a place I could call home. But then, a dread of the unknown fell over me. I was afraid and confused.

' Now, now there is no need to be afraid dear. I know all this is rather new and confusing for you but we have been trying to find you for all this years. Your mom used to attend this school.' The Professor tried to reassure me.

My mom. I had really faint memories of her when I was young. At the age of 8, one day both my parent never returned after dropping me to school. A drop of tear trickled down my cheek at the sad memory.

' Felicity will be your roommate and show you around. I have still a lot of work pending for today.'

Felicity interlinked our arms and took me outside the office to show around. We passed a lot of students and few older individuals in robes.

' The ones in the robes are the teachers and trainers. The black ones are vampires. They may seem young but most of them are few hundred years of age. The ones in violet are the witches. The yellow ones are the fairies and the red ones are the wolves. You can find a few in whites, they are the Elders. No one knows what they are.' Felicity recited as I watched them spellbound either carrying books or conversing with the students or among themselves.

'Now Woodstock High aims at maintaining a perfect harmony amomg the supernaturals. But still you can find secluded groups of some creatues. Like the wolves always stay together. No one can blame them though as they are pack creatures. The group on the right of the entrance consists of all the jocks and athletes. They are mostly vampires and werevolves. Though their leader Sebastian is a Earth fairy.' I am sure Felicity blushed at him. The 'genius' gang are most probably in the library. Most of them are witches. Then comes the famous 'angels'. You can see them sitting on the club room. They are a group of really beautiful girls with multiple talents. They mostly consists of fairies and vampires. There are other groups here and there. Mostly people are great. But beaware of Rebal, the leader of the 'genius'. He is really mean and self conceited. Though he is a sight to behold' Felicity giggled.

And that was how my new life and its drama were introduced to me.
