"You will never keep me here; I am not a prisoner" "I never said you were a prisoner; you are free to leave here anytime you like" the headmistress said calmy. "Just know that the law states that every able citizen in this kingdom must attend an academy once they are 18 or they will be killed." She shrugged as if it wasn't that big of a deal and turned back towards her tea. "Great so that means I'm not a prisoner, but I am not free to go until when exactly?" I thew myself into the chair beside her. "That really depends on you and how you intend to find your mate, Lilith." She looked right into my eyes and said it this time. Now I'm mad. "I already said I will not accept a mate, I do not want one and I will never take one. You may as well get that through your brain now." "We will see" she said cryptically and waved her hand as to dismiss me. "Take Lilith to her room, maybe a new day will help her change her mind." And just like that my life has officially been set into motion, only its completely backwards and currently on fire.
