I knew the moment I entered this school something weird and very wrong happened here. I remember it like it was yesterday on way home from school rain had fallen, the road was slippery, I had no car 'cause my dad could not pick me up and I had no money, I walked by the trees. Yes at the side of the road were endless range of thick trees until I slipped, I still balanced my self against a tree but when I tried to stand up I tripped and rolled into the mud it was practically a small hill covered in mud.
I did not know there was anything after the trees as I thought the trees were endeless but no I was wrong. Leaves, branches and God knows what were matted on my body through mud which everywhere I was angry because it was in my hair which meant extra bath time.
The sky had gone darker because I stupidly waited for my dad in school until he called and told me he was going to be very late and he was not able to pick me up, it was almost night time. I stood up from where I had landed from my fall I was behind a thick bush with trees surrounding an area what I saw almost made me faint but I knew better than to open my mouth and say anything or even move.
There was a clearing and what I saw was mind blowing yet it made me 100 percent scared. There was a giant brown wolf which stood beside a man which I couldn't decipher through the dark, infact numerous people, there were many with bloody red eyes with fangs with glistened with the speck of moonlight, there were creatures which floated up, and there was a woman whose hand had a ball of fire which illuminated her face. I knew I had seen that face before but where, I was not really a social person but what the heck,
" Today there is going to be a full moon, all the werewolves should not go mauling humans, and Jessica put out that fire ball do you want to get us found out" One with bloody red eyes and fangs said, I would have gasped in exasperation but I knew I should not do that. I livid and wondered if I heared correctly he called them werewolves and Jessica the chick from one of my classes which I couldn't remember.
" And you vampires should not go sucking everyone you see dry we don't want any dead bodies on the land if the King finds out he will have your kind head on a platter" The one who stood beside the werewolf said. I couldn't believe there was such thing as a vampire but the truth slapped me in the face, the vampire who spoke growled and said
" Becareful what you say mutt"
The guy growled back then a floating woman came between them and spoke " Vampires, Werewolves we came here in peace please don't fight"
" Shut up faery"
The werewolf growled, Jessica stepped forward and said " Hey she was just trying to help don't shun her"
" You too witch" My mind were dancing to willy wonka's tune because this was insane as Jessica held a fireball and shouted " You want to try me" A loud growl was heard from the big brown wolf, the guy beside him said " He says he smells a human or mud and another scent"
The brown wolf stalked to my area I crouched down and knew I was done for until Jessica said " We don't need to make a big deal out of this it is a secluded area and humans are little wimps they would not even dare to be outside by this time"
The wolf stepped back into it's position I was scared out of my mind " I wish this world could be taken over already rather than being in hiding" one of the werewolf said as they all groaned in agreement. I learnt that evening that they were all going to my school and we had faeries, wolves, witches and almost all supernatural beings, I was frozen in my spot for an hour, I wasn't really sure but it felt like one until they all dispatched.
I was scared shaking from both the cold and fear as I ran home without stopping I clutched my denim jacket tighter trying to stop shaking , my house was far so I was breatheless when I arrived home , I was bombarded with questions from my mum but I ignored her and cried in the shower because I realized that this world had gotten harder to live in with this creature roaming around, I could get mauled or killed without hesitation.
That night I did my research and I saw some cases of werewolves attack, weird occurrences then I confirmed all of it.
I slammed my locker shut, trying to shake what I had been thinking about it happened freshman year and that was a year ago. During that period of time I decided to shrink into a little shell more like become one of those typical nerds buried in a book wear glasses instead of contacts, I never wanted to be noticed because I was afraid who could I tell which was human or supernatural so I shrunk into my little shell.
I made my way to my way to the library it was a free period. I went to grab a book from one of the shelves until I saw Jessica kissing a guy intensely I was frozen to my spot I never spoke to her I found out she was in my English class and it spooks me out to even make eye contact. I looked for about 3 seconds before I shake it off and try to grab my book, I mostly turned because she caught me looking at her.
I stretched my arms to reach a book until I felt a presence at my back and it reached for the book easily I turned to be met with Jessica's face her lips were slightly swollen, her cool breath fanned my face I was scared if my breath stinked or mostly because I stood in the presence of a witch, I wondered if they could read minds.
She dropped the book in my palms with a loud 'thud' it was a little bit dusty and I felt the need to sneeze but I held it which made me scrunch my face and she clocked her head to the side " I think you are in one of my classes what's your name is it Riley, Raena no it's Rosie, Rosie Wilkins"
I nodded, she smirked the boy she was kissing said " Wait Jessica we aren't done here" I blushed realizing I interrupted their kissing fest but I realized I heard that voice before but I shrugged it off, Jessica scoffed and said " Nope I think we are" she started walking out I couldn't hold it any more as I sneezed, the two of them looked at if I could turn more red I would but I'm pretty sure I look like beet.
" Cute"
Jessica said before walking off, the boy walked to me as he smiled and clocked his head to the side as if he was studying me while I did the same, he had ginger hair and light brown eyes I mean really light brown eyes that they could be mistaken as yellow, tall build 6'1 if I am not mistaken and his teeth were pearly white.
I realized I was staring longer than necessary and I blushed furiously " if you keep on blushing you would look like a strawberry" he crouched down to my height as he said, I admit I am short it's not really fun being short 5'3 was not a fun size but on my school report I wrote it as 5'4.
When he said I would look like a strawberry I immediately thought of my self as a strawberry although I had green dyed hair but I was not really that big but I would look like a small strawberry but I bet I would be juicy. He chuckled before walking off I swore I heard him say "cute"
I adjusted my glasses as I sat on one of the chairs in the library, I lacked enthusiasm to read as I placedy head on the table my mind flashed back to freshman year.
After witnessing what happened mama had to drag me out of the shower dress me up and stay with me until I slept off, I did not go to school for a whole week because I was in shock my mum opted for a psychiatrist but I declined not willing to shared what I had just learnt not to put stress on her, my father blamed himself for not picking me up that day I let him take the blame for a while before I finally convinced him it was my fault at least he had to pay a little for leaving me.
I was not keen on resuming school but I just had to, even when I resumed school I always had these dark eye bags under my eyes my teachers were even worried hell everyone was worried but I replied everyone I am alright with a fake smile. I had nightmares of each and every creature killing me in every form. It took the whole of freshman year to get myself together but I did eventually.
" Hey Wilkins"
I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder I looked up to see the librarian Mrs Wilcons she was a nice 60 year old woman who let the library be my safe heaven and plus she was like a friend to me.
" The bell has been rung go to your next class before you are late"
I nodded, smiling slightly, I used my fingers to comb through my bangs, I picked up the book and borrowed it because apparently I hadn't even done much before heading to my next class.
