Angel Academy

Angel Academy (2)

~Emma's Point of View~

I sat up and rubbed my head, moaning softly. As my eyes fluttered open, I noticed I was in the backseat of a jeep. Fear instantly coursed through my body.

I looked to find who the driver was and saw the back of Riley's blonde head. In the passenger seat was Merick, who seemed to be sleeping and had earphones on. I relaxed, but only a little. "Riley", I muttered. He turned his head and smiled broadly at me.

"Good afternoon, princess! How was your nap?" he snickered. I glared at him for about the third time in an hour.

Merick stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes. He looked at me in the mirror. "Feeling better?" he asked, still sleepy.

"...What was that you put on my face?!" I asked, sharply.

"You honestly want to know?" he asked with raised eyebrows. I nodded.

"Chemicals," he said blankly and closed his eyes again. Anger started to boil within me.

"So this is what you guys do for fun?! Kidnap fifteen year old girls and take them to your stupid school?!", I criticized, loudly.

"No, only the cute ones", winked Riley.

I moaned loudly and punched the car door.

"Hey! Not the jeep!" threatened Riley.

"Emma, please calm down. We're doing you a favor," soothed Merick, who must have woken up again.

"How?!" I asked.

"The kids who get admitted to our school are... special," said Riley.

"What do you mean?" I asked, more calmly now.

"You'll see. We're pulling into the school grounds right now," pointed Merick.

I looked out the car windshield and saw a white path we were on. We were in the middle of a huge field of grass. I gasped. Up ahead, the path stopped at two big mahogany doors. The whole school was made out of a dark red material. Elegant windows were in many places.

I saw a courtyard in front to the right. It had benches and a fountain. I leaned forward to get a better look. Students were hanging around, some with books, and some just chatting with friends. They all looked pretty happy. I relaxed a little.

"Um, you guys didn't tell me you went to freaking Hogwarts," I said, gawking at the size of the school.

Riley let out a laugh and even Merick chuckled.

"Well, cheer up cause you're about to meet Dumbledore himself," joked Riley.

They must have meant their headmaster. I gulped.
