Just Once

Prologue

            I am not suppose to be seen, or heard. At least that's what everyone taught me. If I am then, well lets just say my scars aren't from nothing. Nobody likes me. My whole life filled with people turning their backs to me. Not even my parents like me. They keep me locked in the house, mostly because when I do come out the whole street becomes empty. I was home schooled and I don't talk. Yes, I know how to talk just nobody listens. They're to afraid.

            There is a good reason for this. Not because of my dark brown eyes that look black,  my elbow length brown hair, or the fact that I'm short. Not because I have a pretty good tan, kind of  geeky, and a little athletic. No, it's because I'm a witch.

            No I don't do spells, I can only do one thing. My magic is like a dark purple smoke that hovers over my hands. I have learned to control it, mostly. I just keep my hands clenched. Hey it works don't go judging me yet.

            Okay now, back to the point. People are afraid because once I accidentally killed a whole town. Everyone just ... dead. I don't know how to explain it, they just all died all of sudden. Purple smoke flowed through the whole town, and now I'm even afraid of myself. Luckily my parents lived so that's a plus. You know what let's just forget about that last part. For now.

            So you think my life is bad? Well it doesn't end there. Yay! I should expect that, my name is bad luck. Just kidding, it's Autumn Willow Haddley. No, I'm also a werewolf. I got the senses, ears and tail, but I've never shifted. Might not ever, but I've learned to deal. On the bright side I'm able to hide my ears and tail with my favorite dark grey hoodie, no words just completely dark grey. Oh, and to top everything off. I can't run away. Trust me I've tried, but they always catch me. Always.

            But no one knows my secret. One day a letter "poofed" in front of my face, literally. I was laying on my bed reading my favorite book, when suddenly "poof" there was letter. Yes even the sound went "poof". Now this was weird considering I never get mail, ever. I opened, now excited, and this is what it said.

Welcome Autumn Haddley.

            You have been summoned into Micrillia, a well protected school for anyone like you. This will be for the rest of your life, or until you leave. But here's a warning,  this is your only chance to come. Oh and if you leave you might never return, and this is your only chance to come.

            On December 31, at 10 o-clock, meet at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. A girl by the name of Floriana will take you to our school. She's one of the most trusted of guards here at Micrillia so don't sweat it. Be there because after this day is over this letter will disappear, and you'll forever lose your chance.

Hope to meet you,

Micrillia

            Now I know this seems sketchy and it's probably not true, but it might be one chance to escape once and for all. I pack my black backpack with everything I think I might need and dash for it. Luckily my werewolf side helps me run faster then normal. I continue running for the nearest town with an Airport, surprising hard for Italy, and hope no one will realize that I'm gone till morning. By then I should be on the plane to Paris with no trace left behind me.

Micrillia, real or not. Here. I. Come.
