Arogen

Chapter II

"Great! Let's introduce you to the headmaster and get you to your assigned wing!"

I followed them silently, lost in my thoughts while they chatted away amongst one other. I began to get a sinking feeling that coming here was a terrible idea. I was probably overthinking but I had never been out of my room for years let alone near so many people before. I began to feel overwhelmed and could feel myself stiffening in discomfort.

"Hey, Sam is it? Are you okay over there?" questioned Sara, cocking her head while watching me with uncertainty.

"Saron," I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

"What was that?"

"My name is Saron," I stated clearly, glaring at her.

"Right..." "So Bea what kind of spells have you and Amy been practicing with your mother?" she said, turning back to continue conversating with Amy and Bea.

Snorting, I continued to trail behind them for a few minutes until we finally arrived.

"Here we are!" declared Sara excitedly as we reached a large double doored wooden frame. She swung the door open letting us enter first while she followed in behind us. It was a vast room, decorated with antiques and artifacts of all kinds. In the center of the room was an enormous desk with a sign on the front saying, Headmaster. The desk was covered in papers written in different foreign languages and all sorts of magical items which I did not recognize strewn about.

"Sara! Who do you have for us today?" questioned an older lady striding towards us with a black bodycon dress coupled with a blue corduroy blazer and a sly smile on her face. She didn't look a day past thirty but had hair white as snow and piercing blue eyes on a face unscathed by even one wrinkle.

"I'm Amy, and this is my sister Bea," piped up Amy, looking at the headmaster expectantly.

"Her and her sister are witches. I'm not sure what she is yet," added Sara gesturing at me.

"Thanks Sara, you can rejoin the others," she said with a smile, dismissing Sara.

"If you guys need anything, come find me! I'm in the Blue wing," Sara offered with a reassuring smile to us before she walked out of the office.

"And you are?" asked the headmaster, eying me with curiosity.

"Saron."

"Do you have any idea of your abilities so we can place you?"

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Odd," she replied with a facial expression I couldn't place which faded as quickly as it came.

"Luckily for you Saron, we have a solution for that. Come girls."

We followed her deeper into the office until we came to a room not too far from where we began. This room was dull in comparison to the others. It had no color at all. There was just one singular glass box located in the center of the room and a screened panel on the wall. It lit up as soon as we entered.

"This room is mostly for unknowns, like Saron, that don't know who they are. But, we also test the knowns as well to see if you may harbor any other abilities that may be dormant at this time. All you do is step into the glass box and once it's closed, your abilities are analyzed inside. We have supernatural technology that scans you and determines what type of power you possesses. We then place you in a wing with students of similar powers so you may be around those who may help you control and hone your abilities. Alright, who wants to go first?"

I shuffled my feet uncomfortably while maintaining eye contact with the ground. I knew for a fact I didn't want to go first. What if I had no powers? That would confirm that I belong nowhere.
