Chapter 1
“I heard she doesn’t talk.” “Well I heard she can’t talk.” “There’s a rumor that she doesn’t know how to talk.” “Oh ya, well I heard that she played truth or dare and was dared to never talk again.” “Have you ever heard any sound come from her mouth?” “That girl is weird. Some people are saying that when she talks, everyone that hears her voice dies.” These are the things I hear every day at school. Of course no one knows the true story. My name is Ellie Valentine. My parents died when I was 5 all because mom was a white wolf with dragon blood and dad was an element user with a small amount of vampire blood. I got the best of everything. I am a dragon, dark wolf, element user, and vampire hybrid. I feed only on animals because I feel wrong drinking from humans. Mom and dad were murdered so they wouldn’t have me but the killers were to late I was already here for five years before they new about my parents mating. I am a fire and ice user meaning I have fire and ice magic. We are often called witches but it’s kind of misleading to call us that. A witch can do so much more with magic than us but they are also a myth. element users are the closest thing to a witch that exists. We can control different elements based on our ancestors. My dad was a fire and ice user because his dad was a fire user and his mom was an ice user. Dragons aren’t exactly what you would think. We control the wind. We have stronger wind magic than a wind user but not as strong as fairies. Some of the strongest dragons can overpower a weak fairy with just wind magic. I am strong enough to shift but not the strongest out in the world. A white wolf is rare so, mom mating with a non werewolf was forbidden. If a white wolf marks a normal wolf they both become white wolves. I got a special wolf but not a white one. I got a dark wolf. A dark wolf is black with red on the paws, tips of the ears, and end of the tail. Our eyes flash electric blue when our wolves are trying to get out or we let them have control. The thing I hate about being a dark wolf is that my scent makes wolves feel threatened. I can’t have any friends who are wolves. I am afraid of my own voice. I have a banshee scream so glass shatters and things break. I haven’t spoken since the day my parents died and I screamed destroying the entire house. Of course the killers were already gone by then so I stayed with their bodies crying until the police came. They questioned me but I only shook my head with silent tears on my face. I have a necklace that hides my scent so everyone thinks I’m human. I go to a human highschool and I live as a lone wolf. It makes life easier when you don’t have other wolves who think you’re dangerous because of what you are. A dark wolf is bigger, faster, and stronger than a normal wolf. We also have different powers. Mine are a forcefield, speed, healing, invisibility, and teleportation. White wolves also have abilities mom had speed like me and return. Return is when someone attacks with magic it bounces off of the target and back at the attacker. It’s complicated and isn’t really important. The name my parents gave me is Elizabeth Valentine but because of the prophecy I have been using my nickname for 11 years. Mom’s name was Clarissa Valentine and dad’s name was Benjamin Valentine. We were happy until the attack. I had been using the scent block while attending human school. My dragon form is a huge white dragon with blue accents and ruby eyes. I don’t have friends. I would be too afraid of hurting them. When my parents died I also lost my unborn brother he was going to be called Caleb Valentine. That was the day I promised myself I would train and become strong enough to protect myself and my twin brother. My twin’s name is Elijah Valentine but he has been going by Eli Valentine just as long as I have been Ellie Valentine. Eli has always called me Ellie so it wasn’t too hard to transition to and same with me I have always called him Eli. Mom wouldn’t tell us who came out first but now we don’t want to know. Me and Eli always looked more like dad when we were younger but now I look more like mom. We both got mom’s black hair and silver eyes but we have dad’s pale skin. I have mom’s lips and nose but Eli has dad’s features. We both got dad’s fighting skills. I got mom’s cooking skills but Eli couldn’t make Mac and cheese if his life depended on it. We are both skilled in drawing. I love art but Eli doesn’t like it. I would say God wasted good talent on him. I can sing and dance. I also enjoy it. Eli can dance but I’ve never heard him sing. I wish I could sing again. Eli hasn’t heard me sing because I used to be too embarrassed to let anyone hear me. Eli only got vampire and wolf traits from our parents while I got everything. Eli is only a normal wolf. They gave me more attention than Eli but we were still really close. Me and Eli used to dance together. I miss the days where we were carefree and innocent. I refuse to use sign language other than with Eli. People make fun of it so I just don’t communicate with others. We have a school assembly in 2 weeks for my music class. We all have to participate in singing, even me. Although I don’t speak or sing I still can. It scares me but as long as I hold in my power everything should be fine. I am apparently really good looking. Because me and Eli look almost the same but different genders Eli is the hottest guy in the school and I’m the hottest girl. The other girls are jealous so they say rude things and spread rumors about me. I have lots of time to figure out if I can get out of the performance. My voice is supposedly the most beautiful voice that anyone has ever heard according to everyone that has ever heard it. I got the nickname angel from our old neighbors.
