❝He told me his whole life,
holds nothing but pain,
that whatever he's been through,
gave him nothing to gain.
He said he liked the ocean,
its freedom and its wonders,
for it engaged a wild side of him,
awakened a courageous adventurer,
but every time I asked him,
if he knew the reason why,
that something so beastly,
could turn him alive from dry,
he would say
it used to be only four walls and him,
but the rides heard his cries,
and brought him light when he was dim,
he told me that all his life,
he had to stop dreaming and become bolder,
but how can you not dream,
after believing that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder?
But the world wouldn't listen,
watched him become one with the water,
Another star gone,
one more soul to slaughter.
But I hope he's fine,
at least the ocean listened to his cries.
I cry while laying on this icy floor,
at least he tried.

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began.
I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them.
That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world.
... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all.
