Chapter 1
Start writing here…I was born cursed.
I’m sure of it. I can never get a break from life. One minute I’m running from something, the next I’m trying not to get killed. I’ve been trying to rule out the fact that I am cursed. My mother just says I’m being dramatic, but this just proves it.
No, I am not just saying this because I’m having a mid-life crisis. You see my life isn’t exactly what you call normal, even for a witch. I’m the complete opposite of normal.
Firstly I wasn’t born normal. I would say it how my mother sums it up, I tore up her stomach, yes I literally clawed myself out of my mothers womb with blue hair. I was born with dark azure blue hair. Oh and it gets worse. I was marked from birth, a tree that had forever growing branches littered my arm since the day I was born. Most people would run away from me if they saw the marks on my skin.
My mother says it’s just the effects of being born during a blood moon and since I was born on a blood moon along with the fact that I don’t have a wolf. My father is a werewolf and my mother a witch , which would make me a hybrid , but sadly I’m just a witch and a disabled wolf. Which just adds to my curse.
My father used to make me feel like I was some saint because I was different, but now I know he just didn’t want to make me feel like I was a freak.
" Cyane are you listening to me?” My dad asks from the drivers seat. We were currently on our way to my new school. A boarding school to be exact. Monford high a place where humans, vampires and werewolves can coexist.
" If anything goes wrong I’m a phone call away don...”
“Don’t even hesitate.” I finish his sentence and he gives me a stern look. You could say recently moved to the states , I’ve been here for a month , hiding out at my Dad’s place. I wish I could go back there, but my mother says it’s not healthy to stay indoor all the time.
Well so is mourning a boyfriend who tried to kill you.
Two months ago, I was out with my sweet human boyfriend, and when we were having sex, he tried to rip my throat out with his teeth. My mom got rid of the scars with a little magic, but the memory is still there.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw his fangs come out, I just froze up. I couldn’t help myself so I just laid there for what felt like hours letting him have his fill only one word coming to mind the entire time.
Vampire, Vampire kept on chanting in my head.
All I could think about, is it’s happening again. Vampires. Katy , the attack, I just wanted it to stop, but somehow I managed to get a wooden stake in my hand and shove it through his heart.
I don’t remember how I got the stake or how it happened. All I remember was screaming so loudly as I held the stake so tightly.
I remember staying like that until my mom came to peel me away. I cried for months, had so many nightmares my mother couldn’t take it anymore. Saying it wasn’t safe she shipped me here. To the States, to live with my dad and his family saying a change of scenery would do me good.
Truth be told, it’s only made me more paranoid. I didn’t know anyone here apart from my dad’s family. There weren’t any witches around who I could talk and bond with. Worst of all I couldn’t do magic.
Witches aren’t exactly legal in the United States, but I had no choice but to come here. Mother said the best place to hide is, the last place people would think to look.
And why the hell would a witch live here and with wolves?
It’s the perfect disguise. A sheep in wolves’ clothing. No pun intended.
I spent a whole two months wallowing in my pain, but my mother had enough of it. So here I am attending one of the best supernatural school in the world, and the worst place for a witch.
Dad isn’t particularly keen on the idea, but I forced him to let me go. It was getting a bit awkward at the house. Cameron ,Hannah and Hilda my half siblings, weren’t there, because they were attending school, so the house was pretty lonely.
Was I absolutely terrified? Oh yes I couldn’t breathe and I felt like I would pass out any second now. I had no choice though, it’s not like I could go anywhere else. I don’t think I wanted to go home anytime soon ,especially after what happened. And it would be nice not to wake up to the sound of Mary’s moans. I shudder just thinking about it.
" You don’t have to go if you don’t want to-”
" Dad I promise I’ll be fine and I think it’ll be good for me being around normal kids.” I smile and he smiles back.
" You are normal blue , you just have it different , but your still like every other kid in there or way cooler.”
" Thanks Dad.” I chuckle
" So you need a rundown on the rules?” He asks
" No not really.”
" Well I’m going to give you one anyway, No magic,” He looks at me with a stern look on his face and I pout back.
" What about a teensy tiny spwell?” I pinch my forefinger and thumb together.
" I mean it Cyane if Michel finds out my daughter, is a witch he will not only kill you but me along too, ” my dad says in a serious tone which never seems to fade me ′
" Don’t worry I can take care of myself even if he did find out and are you forgetting I spent Christmas with you,” I say in defense. Last year, I was forced to spend the summer with my Dad and his family.
” More like you spent Christmas in your room and didn’t interact with anyone ”
“Well, dad if it makes you feel better I’m going to school which means I have no choice, but to interact with people whether I want to or not.” I say.
” Well I guess you’re right and going to the boarding school will help you get closer to the twins, ” He says.
" Exactly think positively, even if the twins don’t know I’m the very thing they’re taught to hate.” I smile sarcastically earning a frown.
" That’s why I said no magic ”
" Fine no magic but doesn’t Mary have this tingle when you lie to her or something,” I ask
" Well yes and no she can have a feeling but sometimes it could be just paranoia ” he smiles as he talks about his mate ” She’s going to miss you. ”
" Yeah, she gave me her phone number and a pretty bracelet,” I fiddle with the bracelet on my wrist as we go on with our ride in comfortable silence.
We finally approach a beautiful building the size of a castle. It was the color of wet sand with beautiful designs with a big M plastered on the tallest tower. The building looked like a haunted castle. . The driveway was filled with willow trees that were glowing a bright green-yellowish color . Well that’s new. Guards were lined up by trees, If you looked closely enough you could see werewolves lying in between the trees.
That’s when the reality of it hit me. I was actually doing this, I didn’t have anyone to protect me here I was all on my own here. Swallowing down my anxiety I put on a smile for my Dad.
" Alright the spell your mom did, hasn’t worn off right? ” he parks the car the gravel crunching beneath tires.
" Yes dad she even taught me how to do it if it makes you feel better you can even test if its works ” I say and my Dad takes a sniff in the air.
" Well what do I smell like ”
" Wild berries just like your mother ” he smiles.
" Good you can relax now lets go see this prison you’re sending me to.” I open the door and am met with a cool breeze making me smile as it reminds me of home.
“Are you ready?” my dad asks we enter the building
" As I’ll ever be. ” I sigh following into the reception wing where we were greeted by a woman so beautiful, with black hair, striking blue eyes, and skin so pale she was a vampire.
I felt my self stiffen. Of course the first person I’d run into would be a vampire. As if my dad felt my unease he squeezed my shoulders.
” Good afternoon Mr. Ernouf it is a pleasure to have you with us again and you must be Cyane ” she eye’s me up and down.
" Yes this is my daughter Cyane. ” dad says as he nudges me forward.
“It is a pleasure to meet you Cyane my name is Mrs. Silver the head of the vampire department and education. ” she reaches to shake my hand which I hesitantly give her.
“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Silver. ” I warily say.
" Well I will give you your room number and let you get settled in. ” she says as she gets a key from the table along with a box with my name on it handing it to me ” This is your key and a little box we prepare for the newcomers.”
" Thank you” I smile and she returns ” I hope you enjoy your time here Cyane. ” she walks off.
" It’s okay Cyane they can’t hurt you here , this place is more strict than a Catholic boarding school.”
" I know I’m safe it just doesn’t make me feel comfortable, but I’ll get used to it.” I turn and face him.
" I know you will.”
” Is this the part where I start crying?” dad jokes
" Well I mean yeah, but we’re used to it? ” I grimaced.
" Used to what?” he frowns
" Being far away from each other.” His arms wrap around me in a comfortable embrace.
" I have never gotten used to being far away from me and I never will.” We say our goodbyes and I head off to my dorm room.
The inside of the school looked like was a modern castle.
Fun fact actually, it was a coven school for witches. That was before the witch massacre seventeen years ago.
April nineteen 2xx9. Which also happens to be my birthday. I know right being born the day my kind was being born. They burned down homes, cut off their heads, and put them on poles as if they were a trophy or gave them to vampires who made them into blood slaves.
They didn’t burn down the convent though mainly because it was a fortified tower protected by spells so instead of fighting for the palace they decided to make it a school as a sign of peace between the three humans, werewolves, and bloody vampires.
I finally make my way to the East wing, which has a giant wolf on top of the door. Great please tell me my dad did not just put me in a room with a female werewolf.
