Chapter 1

I got home near 7 o' clock, I knew daddy was at home today on his usual time when I saw his Audi R8 in the parking. Abby opened the door when I rang the door bell.
"I have been waiting for you all day. Daddy has news for us, come. Quick." she gushed, pulling me inside.
"Oh, come on baby sis, I just came home I'm sweaty and itchy just wait for few minutes while I shower." I whined.
"I'm just 2 hours younger than you Becca." she scowled at me.
"Oh dear lord ! You are still my baby sister. Now, shut up. I gotta shower." I said and left her standing there.
I stripped in bathroom and got under the hot water. Ugh, feels good. Abby and I were twins. She was two hours younger than me, but that doesn't stop me from going protective over her ass. I loved my sister very much, more than anything in the world. We weren't identical twins. I had black hair and brown eyes. Abby was gifted with hazel eyes with same hair as me. She was just beautiful.
She looked like mom. She was so much like mom that it hurt to look at her sometimes. It brought back memories of how horribly she died. She had cancer, but I didn't believe that, cancer doesn't make you scream like your heart is being ripped out. It doesn't make you suffer like my mom did. Her body died slowly and painfully. Abby took it so worst than dad and me. She become quite, she didn't talk to anyone but me. She barely ate, slept. I always found her near the lake when she was sad. The lake had happy memories of us. Abby loved mom like I loved her. I still remember what mom said to me before she died.
"Don't leave your sister's side, Becca. She is fragile and she needs you. You are her strength, you are very strong, Becca. Make yourself stronger. You're going to need it. You are the only hope she has, protect her. I love you both very much, my lovelies....."
She died right in front of my eyes and I never felt so helpless. Dad was heartbroken and devastated but he took care of us instead of mourning her death. Abby and I were just 12 years old. I didn't understand what mom said but I knew she meant to protect my baby sister. So, I did. I never let anybody hurt my baby sister. I was already protective of her but since, mom died I became overprotective of her.
"Becca !!! Just come out already ! You know how I don't like mysteries." I chuckled at her whining. Abby was the most curious person on the earth, she doesn't like when anybody hides something from her.
"Okay, okay. I'm out of here."
"So, I'm going to enroll you two to a different school. It's for special children, like you." Abby and I had strong brains. We always topped the exams. We were like twin toppers.
"But daddy I have football. I can't just transfer school." I whined.
"I know, baby. I'm going to let you on a secret."
That caught Abby's attention.
"You two are witches." my dad said. Just like that he dropped the bomb.
Boom !
And I gave him a look that said 'Daddy how much did you drink ?.'
"I'm very much sober, Becca." he deadpanned.
Did he just hear my thoughts?.
"Daddy are you joking ? Are we suppose to laugh?." Abby asked, skeptically.
"I'm a wizard and your mom was a witch, sweethearts."
Abby's face fell when he brought mom up, like always.
"Daddy..." I hissed. I don't like when he does this. He brings up mom in the middle of a happy conversation and Abby starts sulking.
"Sorry, but it's the truth. Your mother was a very powerful witch. She worked in Council. You both are going to come in your powers when you turn sixteen that is in next month. You both will have to control your powers because its dangerous to just let loose."
"So you are going to dump us in a school were they teach children hocus pocus ?." I asked.
Abby laughed and dad cracked a smile on my humor. At least I got her distracted from her moping. I mourned my mom too. But I don't like when Abby and Dad become sad when they recall mom's memories. It taints her happy memories.
"Yes, sweetheart. Mason and Jason are going with you too."
"Wait, What? They are wizards ? They never told me."
"No, sweety. They are half angels and half humans. They are assigned by council to look after you two. Abby never went out so she didn't need anyone."
"I thought they were my best friends." I said. Suddenly, angry at them. How dare they make fun of my feelings ? Lying to me like that ?
"So where is this school?." Abby asked.
"New Orleans."
"Dad ! Its where Aunt May lives. Is it Aunt May's school you are talking about !?." I asked him, excited. I'd forgotten all about those two morons when I heard 'New Orleans'.
"Yes." he chuckled, knowing very well, the reason for my excitement. "You both will have to get your degree in magic and work in field you like. But you can only work in magic field. Human cannot know about us."
Ugh !! Here goes my dream to become a stripper.
Kidding !
Seriously, though I wanted to become a professional football player.
Magic.
The word itself excited me. How much pranks can I pull on M & J for lying to me?.
*Insert a evil grin here*
Whoop ! Whoop !
"Why do I feel like you are going to get in trouble?." Abby whispered to me. My sister knew me so well, sometimes I just love her.
*Note the sarcasm*
"Oh its nothing, sister." I said a little loudly. God! I suck at lying.
"You don't know how to lie, Becca. Give up already."
"Okay, sometimes I just want to strangle you in sister-ly way. I was plotting my revenge on M & J."
"They didn't have choice, Becca. How would they come up to you 'Hey, so me and my brother are part angel, part human hybrid. Hope that's okay with you.'" she tried to mimick Jason's voice.
"But I'm their best friend. They should trust me with stuff like this."
"Sweethearts are you finished?." my dad asked, irked by our bantering.
"Oh, yeah. Where were we daddy?." Abby asked.
"Your Aunt May is the dean of that school. She is going to look after you two."
It's better to have Aunt May looking after us. What can I say about Aunt May ?
That she is super-duper AWESOME!!!!!.
She is like my role model, she is playful, extremely attractive, badass and she plays soccer too !. It's like she is the older version of me. Aunt May doesn't have any children because she is celibate. She never fell in love and that's my motto too. Never fall in love.
Spares us the trouble. Aunt May is dad's older sister she was three older than dad and overprotective of him. Just like I'm of Abby. This just made everything easy on me.
Hurray !!!!
We are gonna go to Aunt May's school!.
"Start packing your stuff. We are leaving at 6 th of June. After your birthday."
