Chapter one
New girls
There was a time when magic was able to be used freely. This is not that time. This is a time where human's will kill any magical beings. For that reason we have all been stuck in camps across the world. We send the most well trained to the outside world. We need spy's that aren't in the camps, if we did not then any new magical beings would be killed.
Everyone in the world of magic must hide if they wish to live. I was born into this world. I wish I was born a mutant instead of a scorcerer. Human's are completely unaware of all the mutants in there world. I have a feeling that I'm not only a scorcerer though. I was born into a world of chaos. I was 1 year old when I was taken from my parents and put into this camp.
My life would be so much easier if only I could be in the outside world without dieing. History says that no human has let someone with magic survive for more than 1,000 years. All our teachers say the world will be like this for many more years to come. I'm the first scorcerer in 900 years that plans to stop the fighting between humans and anyone in the magical world.
Everyone says I'm crazy, even my friends. Well, I had friends, but once they fingured out my plan I no longer did. I've had teachers trying to talk me out of it for years. Its getting so annoying! All I want is peace in the world, sometime I think they think its a crime. I never thought there would be a day when no one would help me with my plan to make peace. I was wrong.
Today is May, 3, 4051. I'm spending my summer at camp, again. I've never been called to go on a quest, I've never been in the outside world, and I have no friends. That's just the perfect life for an 11 year old girl. I don't have the life of a normal girl, my life is way different.
Today I'm going to spend my day in my cabin, as usual. No one ever comes in my cabin. It's a small cabin with two beds, two dressers, and so many secret compartments. I made the secret compartments myself, so not even the camp director knows about them.
Suddenly I jumped. Knock knock. Someone was at my door. I went to go answer it. When I opened the door I saw Sparkles. Sparkles is the closest person I have to a friend here. "What are you doing at my cabin?" I asked. "I thought we agreed that I would come visit in," I looked at my watch, "In about an hour."
"I know that's what we agreed on, Zoe, but the new girl is here. The camp director, Tiffany, told me to come get you," Sparkles said.
I looked at him questioningly. "It's your turn to bring the new girl to class, remember?" Sparkles said, hoping it would spark my memory.
"Oh, ya. I remember now. Come with me?" I added.
"Sure, Tiffany told me to anyway. Lets hurry and get to the gate," Sparkles added. I walked out of the cabin. When I looked at the sky I saw storm clouds forming.
"We better hurry, if we don't want to get caught in the rain that is," I said to Sparkles. Right then I saw Tiffany. I ran to her. Tiffany, being a teenager was listening to her ipod, she didn't say anything, all she did was point in the direction of the gate. I knew she wanted us to go and meet the new girl. I started walking toward the gate with Sparkles.
When we passed the garden I saw two little fairy's flying toward the school house. I immediatly recognized Abby and Annie. "Why are you two leaving the garden so early today?" I asked. The fairy's never left the garden at this time of day.
"All the fairy's were called to a meeting, we're meeting up with Berlyn," answered Abby, not even turning around to explain. The fairy's didn't usually get called to a meeting, this day was starting to get weird. Suddenly it started to rain. I put my hands in the air, palms facing the sky, then it was like we had an umbrella.
Sparkles was about to run into the shadows, then he realized what I was doing. "Zoe, we could get to the gate a lot faster if you let me go into the shadows for about two minutes," Sparkles complained.
My eye's widened. "What's with you and using shadow transportation? Well, its not only you, all the other Shadow Master's do it, too," I said. "Well, c'mon, you better get us to the gate faster though," I said as I walked to the shadow that a nearby building made.
Sparkles closed his eye's once we were in the shadows. "The closest shadow to the gate is..... made by the gate," Sparkles said surprised. "Grab my hand."
"What?" I asked. I was about to move away when we reached up and grabbed my arm. Suddenly we were standing in a shadow made by the front gate. I looked at the opening. Standing in the gateway was a girl, she was soaked.
I walked toward her. Sparkles had to run to catch up, he was to busy thinking about how cool shadow transportation is. Once I was standing in front of her I expanded my umbrella thing above her head, too. "Welcome to Camp Aura," I said. "Here we will find out how high your aura levels are, we will determine what you are my your aura," I added.
The new girl looked at me confused. Obviously no one explained anything to her when they drove her to camp. Right then Sparkles caught up. "I'm Sparkles," he said.
"I'm Zoe," I said.
"I'm Julie," said the new girl. I nodded toward Julie then to Sparkles. Sparkles nodded back then motioned for Julie to follow us. I started walking toward the school building, with Julie and Sparkles at my heals.
When we got to the school building my arms were so tired. As soon as we were in the protection of the building I dropped my arms. Lightning cracked. "Zoe, you know lightning happens when your arms hit your sides like that. You need to control you powers a bit more," said Sparkles.
"It's not my fault that my powers are growing," I said over my shoulder. "Anyway, Julie this is the school building, where we are about to start magic lessons. We are going to start your day here by having Tiffany find out what magic being you are."
I walked inside the building. Inside it was like an endless hall. We walked to a door a few feet down. I opened the door, then beckoned for Julie to go inside. She walked in. Sparkles and I followed. We closed the door behind us.
I turned the lights off. "Julie, I want you to stay as still as possible," I said. I pressed a button on the wall and a scanner appeared in from of Julie, then a wall came infront of Sparkles and I. I computer was on the wall. I typed in the word scan. The scanner started scanning Julie.
Suddenly, in big letters, the word witch appeared on the screan. I pressed another button on the wall, then the wall and scanner disappeared. Sparkles opened the door and held it for us. "Sparkles, could you show Julie her room for me?" I asked.
"Sur-" BZZZZZ. "Oh, one sec." Sparkles took his cell phone out and answered, "Hello. Uh-huh. Ok, I can do that," he hung up. "Sorry, I can't. There's another new girl at the gate and they need me to pick her up."
* * *
Later, after Julie was in her cabin, Sparkles called me.
"Hello?"
"Ya, we have a problem."
"What?"
"The scanner can't tell what the new girl is."
"What's her name?"
"Jessica."
"I'll be there as soon as possible." With that I hung up. How will I get there on time? I thought. I closed my eyes and pictured where Sparkles woul be at the moment, how will I get there fast enough?
"Where did you come from??!!" came a frightened voice. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the scanning room with Sparkles. "There was a puff of smoke and suddenly you were here!"
"I dont' know what happened. Anyway, what did you mean that the scanner can't tell what the new girl is?" I asked. Sparkles beckoned toward the moniter. I looked. Its said Error Error on the screen. I typed Error?
On the screen something popped up. It said: Beware of Jessica! Suddenly it came to me. "Oh, no." I ran to the door and opened it. I shoved Sparkles out the slammed the door shut behind me.
"Beware of Jessica? What's that supposed to mean?" Sparkles asked.
"It means that Jessica isn't a magic being that's on the good side. Listen, we need to get her to my lab, immediatly. No objections," I added. As I headed toward my cabin Sparkles went back in to get Jessica.
* * *
"So, what is she?" Sparkles whispered in my ear. Jessica was asleep on a bed in my lab. (My labs in my cabin).
"She's a wolf-ling," I whispered back.
"A wolf-ling?"
"A wolf-ling is a human that can turn into a wolf, has the fangs of a vampire only its as if the fangs were dipped in poison," I answered. I pressed a button and suddenly Jessica got up. "Give her a cabin as far from everyone elses as possible," I whispered in Sparkles ear as I pressed another button and my cabin looked normal again.
Sparkles nodded. I left the cabin and eventually found Tiffany. "The new girl, Jessica, is a wolf-ling," I told her. Tiffany's eye's widened and she slowly turned toward me.
"How old?"
"She's 15 and she's been a wolf-ling for 10 years."
"This isn't good."
"I know," I said as I walked away.
