Chosen

1- Dark Magic

Clarity's POV
I groan loudly as the servants shove me in an open, blossom colored dress.
"Why do I have to wear this?" I groan. Normally they make us read the magic books and then shove us in a room to practice what we've 'learned', but not today. I'm not sure why they dress me so formal, so I moan and groan about it. I consider using light magic on the servants to keep them away, but then again, that would be like using dark magic, which is forbidden in the Eclipse. I hate project Eclipse and everything to do with it. Sure, we live in a giant, nice building, and we each have our own spacious marble rooms, but we're still their lab rats. Me and the four others are all just experiments. I don't even know why we were chosen. It's not like any of us possessed any sign of magic before we came. Or at least that's what they told us. Are they trustworthy? No, probably not. I don't remember anything, anyway, I was too young. They took us all when we were born. As far as I know, I have no parents, no siblings. I wouldn't really care if I did, I mean, who gives away their healthy, newborn daughter? Not anyone I care about. Though I try to convince myself otherwise, I honestly do wish I had someone who loved me as a daughter.
"Miss Clarity, are you ok?," one of the servants asks. I shake my head realizing I was staring at the ground. I hate it when these things happen. I don't want to look like a little helpless girl in front of them.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply, trying to look strong. I wonder if I could pry any information out of them. I might as well ask. "Where am I going, dressed like this?" I ask innocently, opening my eyes wide and batting them. It doesn't work. I guess 15 is a little old for that. Dang it.
"You'll find out soon," the servant replies in a deep voice. I don't think he knows either. "Your dress looks marvelous dear," he continues. Is he trying to switch the topic on me? The nerve of him! I'm not that stupid. Maybe I'm not the smartest, but I'm not two anymore. I glance down at the flowery gown anyway. It actually does look good on me. Once all the servers leave I may take it for a twirl, but certainly not while they're here. While I tent to hate girly stuff, I can't help expressing my interest in it.
"We'll come for you in half an hour, meanwhile, try not to mess it up!" one of the servants giggles lightheartedly. I smile back, might as well look innocent and cute so they don't suspect anything. They hurry out of my room, chattering excitedly before closing the door. I try to catch what they're saying, but the door muffles their voices as they move away. Though I did catch a few words, and if they are what I think, it could change my future. 🔶

🔷10 minutes later
I stare at the book, reading the words with no feeling. I'm supposed to be studying about protect Eclipse and light magic, but my mind is wandering today. I can't get the words out of my head. I can't believe what I heard, myself. I mean, if that's my purpose here, why teach me magic at all? It baffles me. Over and over again, I replay them in my head. I honestly wonder how much the servants are told, and how much they're not supposed to know. They've never actually told us the point of Project Eclipse. Is what I heard true? It must be. I know I heard. The words were, 'Fit to breed."
