I put my plate by the sink and grab my bag.

"Thanks for dinner Jim!" I say, while pushing the door open, "Going to watch the sunset on the hill!"

"Alright! We're staying at Jim's tonight anyway so just come back when you're ready!" Claire calls after me as I shut the door and start running up the hill. 

When I reach the top, I lie down exhausted. I look at the clouds, so fluffy. I sit up just in time to see the sunset. As the sun goes down a beautiful array of oranges, pinks and purples fill the endless sky. The colours shimmer as the sun goes down and the stars slowly appear. I feel the warm moonlight behind me, and soon, I'm flooded with darkness, my only light source being the moon and a torch. I lay down my on blanket and prop up my torch. Before I know it, I'm asleep under the stars.

I start walking up the hill to my secret spot. It's where I think, and my thoughts can escape under the moonlight. When I arrive I see a girl. She's lying on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. Her h/c hair is spread out to one side as she faces the other. I cock my head to the side wondering what to do. 

"C'mon Arch, help me!" I shout to Archie, trying to lift the girl's legs.

"I'm your associate, not your assistant.." he sighs, rolling his eyes. Reluctantly, however, he does come, and grabs the girl by neck of her jumper.

"Be careful!" I say, quietly. "Don't hurt her." Archie loosens his grip and we carry her to the bookstore.

Y/N's pov

I open my eyes. The sunlight is bright, causing me to blink hard. I look around me as I sit up and realise I'm not anywhere I know. I rub my eyes, as they become used to the light.

"Hello?" I call out.

"Good, she's up," I hear a voice echo down a corridor.  An old looking man walks into the room, a boy, about 19, trailing along behind him. Is that-

"Douxie!?" I exclaim, "What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Who is-" I'm cut off by the old man saying, 

"Yes yes, I am Merlin, wizard, this is my apprentice, Hisirdoux, although it seems you've met before, and you are in a hidden room behind the bookstore."

I stare at him, flabbergasted. 

"But why-"

"I found you asleep. I immediately assumed the worst and brought you here," Douxie explains.

"But why bring me here?" I question, still confused.

"Well, you see, we've known you're like us for a while," Merlin starts to explain but I cut him off.

"Hang on, you mean, I'm a wizard-? But I'm just Y/N Nunez. I'm Claire's sister. A waitress. A teenager. I go to Arcadia Oaks High. I lead a normal life. I'm sorry, but I can't do magic," I say, completely taken aback by what the old m-, Merlin has just said.

"Aha, that's where you're wrong, young wizard, you have much to learn. Look somewhere, and click your fingers."

I do as instructed and a flash of white light fills my eyes, forcing them shut. I open my eyes and find myself standing, by a bookshelf, where I had been looking when I clicked my fingers.

"What am I supposed to tell Claire!? Or Jim, or Toby!? Or my parents!?" I scream, open-mouthed.

"Keep it down, lovely, you can't tell anyone, not yet," Douxie says, which makes my cheeks flush red.

"But how am I supposed to keep something this big a secret?"


A/N

Hello! Ash here! Sorry this one took me so long to publish, I couldn't get round to finishing it. Hopefully, this chapter is okay, I slightly changed my writing style a bit and decided to be a bit more descriptive. Also, DOUXIE'S HERE *SWOON*. Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and another one will be coming out, hopefully, soon.

Goodbye for now adventurers!
