822 Words
"Fiery red eyes, bold and courageous. She was one of a kind, once known to us as the most dangerous woman to have been created, not because she had powers never seen before but because she took on the highest counsel and handed their a**es to them." He folded his arms and stood next to me. He looked so pleased and proud as he looked at the picture. "aren't you quite the fan," I teased "I'm Scarlett, Scarlett Brown" I gave him my hand to shake. "Jacob, Jacob Melain" he smiled down at me. He was quite tall and very much a looker if I should say. He had a charming smile and light green eyes. "You know come to think of it," he looked at me then looked back at the picture, "You two look quite alike." He was right I too could see the similarity. The heart-shaped face and the same almond shaped eyes except hers were red and mine were a plain brown. We did have similar features but she seemed like she walked out of a magazine with her high cheek bones and perfect shaped nose. I didn't think I was anything close to her perfection. "We better go now, the headmistress will not be pleased if we miss her welcoming speech." Jacob said and turned to lead us away towards the auditorium where everyone else was. It was a really large room that seemed to house almost a thousand students. They were three rows separated by staircases in between them. The front of the room had a stage with a podium and four seats on each sides. They also had four televisions stationed on different sides of the room which I guessed to be for those who couldn't see so far down. Thick red curtains once again covered the windows which seemed to keep the sunlight out. Maybe we have vampires in here, I thought to myself, which wouldn't be weird considering the kind of school this is. Jacob turned to face me and smiled down at me. He looked so handsome with his straight teeth and those light green eyes shining with amusement, "the new students are situated on that side," he pointed towards the last row on my far left. "I'll see you around then Scarlet Brown" he winked at me then walked away. I looked around my row scanning who could possibly be nice enough to sit next to. I spotted a blonde girl with her head down studying the school guide and I thought she seemed nice enough. "Hi." I sat down next to her and she jumped a bit. She was really pretty. Pale skin with plump pink lips and round shaped hazel eyes. She smiled brightly at me and pushed her purple rimmed glasses up her nose. "I'm Scarlett" she shook my hand and her smile got brighter "I'm Hanna, oh I'm so glad to have someone to talk to. I'm so nervous about this whole thing. Can you believe my mother only told me that I'm a shape shifter two weeks ago, I was so stunned at first I couldn't believe it. When did you find out, you were probably one of the lucky ones to have known all their lives. What special ability do you have? " she spoke to fast I almost didn't catch what she said. I internally face palmed myself, what did I get myself into. I would not call myself a shy person but I wasn't a social person either. I thought back to my grandmother and knew she would be proud of me for taking the first step, though. "My grandmother decided to tell me yesterday that I'm a witch." I smiled at her. Her eyes went as big as a saucepan. "you're a witch? Like casting spells and lights illuminating from your hands kind of witch. Woow…that is so cool" she made me realise that I actually did have a cool ability although I didn't know anything about it at the moment it made me realise I was up for some adventure which sorta made the whole experience to come seem cool. "And you only found out yesterday that must be so-" Hanna didn't get to finish because a woman's voice blared through the speakers. "Students may I have your attention please" the loud chatter around the room died down and more people were filling the seats until non was left. She looked around the room with a small smile on her face. She was a very pretty woman. She had long black locks falling on one side giving her the strict professional look along side her black slim suit, her stance screamed submission and respect. "I welcome you all to Jeswing, School of the Supernatural. My name is Lara Rose Henderson for those of you who do not know I am your headmistress so that is Mrs Henderson to you.."
