Y/n is studying to become a doctor, as she has always done amazing in school, even skipping a grade in high school, and it was her father's dream. One day, as she's walking home in a storm, she hears a cry of pain. Her instincts kick in, and Y/n rushed to help. She refuses to hesitate, no matter what magical kind of mess she gets involved in!... Wait... Magic? Authors note! Hey, just wanted to mention a few things. This is my first book, and I don't know what I'm doing, so constructive criticism is appreciated. :) I am trying to not make Y/n too cliche but I also don't think I have any skill to make her more unique. I am making Y/n use She/her pronouns, this is because I want to do something in the future and they do need to be female for it. Apologies! Maybe if this gets popular I will try and see if I can make a gender-neutral version. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! _____________________________________ STORY NEEDS REWRITEN
