'Magic is real, Aleena, and all those creatures you've read about in books, walk among us!' In her mind, Aleena wasn't any different from other teenagers her age. As if to mock those thoughts, her peculiar and almost fantasy-like life story began to show its mark on the day her combat-boot-wearing foot first stepped in the small town of Gordsom, home to the girl's grandmother and only living relative, Ciana. Upon arriving in the town, she almost immediately realized that with her goth style and numerous piercings she would be the black sheep of a snow-white flock. Nothing new for her, really, but looking at the groups of cheerful girls, in front of the near and perhaps only high school in the area, dressed in their identical school uniforms made her skin crawl. One might ask themselves if this was her reaction to any group of "normal" or "non-goth" people; and the answer would be - no. There was something wrong with this place. Not only the school but the whole town.She could feel it in her bones and she knew right then and there - it wasn't going to be a good thing.
