Our Ever Lasting Story: The Gifted Camp

The Wait

"Hey you? Are you going to the same place I'm going?" A random brunette asks Emma. They're both sitting at a bus stop with luggage. Emma shrugs,

        "I might be. How old are you?"

"I'm 16 and my names Lily." Lily smirks then whispers, "Im a dragon."

        "That's cool. And I feel crazy for believing you..." Emma mumbles nervously.

"Ah I smell your problem. You have magic and can't control it." Lily giggles.

       "S-so and...at least I don't turn into a giant lizard." Emma rolls her eyes, suddenly feeling like the stubborn child she was years ago.

"Anyways. Did your parents send you off?"

        "No, the foster system." Emma said coldly. Just talking about being a foster kid and not having parents always rubs on Emma in all the wrong ways. She never understood why she was never wanted or why nobody ever loved her.

"Same here. And it's crazy because most kids have been living at the camp their whole lives." Lily informs. Emma feels way more comfortable once Lily says she was in the foster system too. "Promise me we'll stick by each other." Lily said. Emma nodded. Foster kids have to stick together.

     Soon the bus arrived and the two got on. They were actually the only two on the bus and it kind of creeped Emma out. But as soon as they got on the bus was the moment they arrived at the camp. What the hell? Emma thought to herself. The place is huge and castle like. It's nothing like the real world. Are they still in the real world?

      As Emma got off the bus, Lily followed not too far behind. They decided the best way to go was down the road ahead of them. Eventually, they found another group of kids at the end. The kids are all looking at a fairy dressed in a sparkly blue dress. She seems to be giving directions of some sort.

"Aahhh. Emma and Lily. Nice of you to finally join us. I'm the Blue Fairy. Most people call me Mother Superior. She smiles brightly at them. "Now come along everyone, It's time for you to receive your rooms."  She waves her magic wand and blue glittery dust fell upon everyone. In a blink of an eye, Emma, Lily, and everyone else ends up in a big hallway full of doors. "Ok everyone follow me. As I point to the doors and call out your name, you may enter." Everyone began to follow Blue as she fluttered ahead and called out names.

"Ursula and Ruby"

"Elsa and Anna"

"Lily and Emma"

     Emma couldn't be happier! She actually wanted to be with Lily. However the brunette is over ecstatic. "YES! Me and you Emma!" Lily jumped into Emma's arms, hugging her tight.

"Remember girls. Get settled and meet in the dining room for dinner in 30 minutes time." Blue said and continued on.

        The two girls entered their rooms. It's huge; bigger than any room they have ever had in their lives. They each have their own beds and between the beds is a huge window showing a beautiful view of a garden. The bathroom is nice too. They each have their own dresser, closet and vanity as well. "Are we in heaven or what?" Emma said out loud with a big smile.

       "This beats moving back and forth between foster homes for sure." Lily said and jumped on her bed. Emma began to unpack and put everything where she wanted it to go. Lily soon did the same and they were ready for their new lives.

       "Should we leave now so we could find our way?" Lily asks.

"I mean, I don't see why not." Emma agreed. The place is huge. They need to get used to their surroundings so that they know where to go.

     Once they left their room they noticed that alot of people seemed to walking to the same place. "Let's just follow them." Emma suggested. Lily agreed and they did so.

       The walk was hell. They had to walk up two flights of stairs. Very long flights and then down a super long hallway. They finally made it and Emma has never been so relieved. Then she thought about the walk back to her room and threw a fit.

"Why the hell is this place so big?! We still have to walk all the way back." She yelled in frustration throwing her hands in the air.

         "Well maybe if you were smart enough to figure out your magic it wouldn't be so hard now would it newbie?" Emma hears a husky voice say.

      She turned to find a brunette  with long hair and beautiful cocoa eyes. And not to mention the beauty mark and scar above her lip. She's about the same age as Emma and Lily and so are the two girls standing behind her. One girl is tall and green with red hair. The other one has grayish skin and white wavy hair. If Emma could remember correctly, Blue said she was Ursula.

"And I'm guessing you're the best in the world." Emma says, sensing a challenge from the snobby girl before her.

              "Regina's the best in the school. Especially when it comes to dark magic." The Red head said.

                       "Do you even know what kind of magic you have?" Ursula chuckled and the Redhead did the same. Regina rolled her eyes annoyed at their childishness.

"I don't know and honestly I don't care." Emma rolled her eyes.

       "You bitches are about to taste my fist in a minute." Lily growled in attempts to protect Emma. The two girls behind Regina were about to lunge at Lily but Regina held up her hand in a regal manner to keep them in their place; her other hand on her hip. She glared at Lily but after a few seconds she smiled.

           "You've got great potential you know? I like you." Regina said to Lily. "And as for you. You have light magic. Your magic is the strongest here." Regina says to Emma.

"How do you know that?" Emma folds her arms in denial. Why would she ever trust someone like her?

        "Anyone who has any kind of magic can sense it. Of course you wouldn't know that. And I bet my knuckle headed sister didn't either. Zelena?" Regina said turning towards her sister.

              "I-I knew! I just don't care the slightest bit." Zelena said lying her ass off.

      "Well you should care. There's finally someone with stronger light magic than Harry Potter. That'll stop him from gloating. Anyways, I'm Regina and I have the strongest dark magic here. But I'm done wasting time on you." Regina said and walked into the dinning room brushing against Emma along the way.

"She's a total bitch." Emma mumbles.

      "Don't let her get to you Em. Let's go find somewhere to sit." Lily states. Once the two girls walked in they were completely dumbfounded. There was almost 100 long tables and hundreds of kids and teens. Emma sighed in frustration. It was going to take them forever to find somewhere to go.
