Six mages

Chapter one

Sirens sounding loud, lights flashing brightly. A girl with long flowing white hair, red eyes, and powers beyond belief running from the lights and sirens. She made a left turn and trapped herself, then turned to run, hoping she could go the other way, and saw guns and a bright light. She heard someone say in a low voice
"Stop, in the name of the Celestial Order". She cursed under her breath as her best friend, Zack, and ten other soldiers pointed guns at her. "Why is it always me?"She retorted, ending with a sigh. Then she shouted. "IF YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO LET YOU IDIOTIC PANSIES TAKE OVER, YOU BEST THINK AGAIN!!!"
She took a step forward.The soldiers pointed the guns at her, waiting to fire. Zack yelled, "Stand your ground, even if she gets away she won't get too far with that injury!" She flinched looking at her almost broken leg, a not-so-pleasant gift from her old friend. She smirked and sprouted black wings, waved to her 'friend', and flew away. As the soldiers watched in amazement, Zack grimaced, and shot his gun with high-class celestial bullets, which can apparently 'pierce the Heavens'. He managed to shoot near her neck her, silver hair went flying. Then she vanished in the night. Yeah, that girl is me, Demetri Coven.

People say I'm a witch, they always did because I was born on the date June, 6th 2006 yeah nice, right? Everyone thought I was a monster and my albinism didn't help, don't get the wrong idea, I am a witch, but I didn't know at the time so it still hurt. The only friend I had was a boy named Zachary Lock, you know, the one that shot at me? Yeah, he died on my 12th birthday, ah, the best magic trick since Criss Angel. That's when I found out because I kind of brought him back to life. And so we've made an alliance of witches and warlocks in the past four years. Now it is June, 3rd 2022. As you can guess I'm sixteen and Zack is seventeen and he's not my best friend anymore. My powers are way stronger now and way under control.
And I am the vice president of our alliance known as The Sages. And I, I mean we, got into a lot of trouble in the past. Such as free endangered animal species, help humans that are claimed to be witches, collect data on witches from the order, and I, well, I almost got captured, again. But things are progressing well and I'll tell you the story from the beginning.

I was in my empty house alone. My music in my headphones was low so I can stay alert. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I was cautious to open the door, not really expecting anyone. To my surprise, it was my best friend, Zack, with a wrapped gift. I said "You remembered!" in a shocked voice. He normally forgets my birthday, but I look past stuff like that, we've been friends ever since pre-k, so I'm used to it. I invited him in and said "Open it. Come on."
I chuckled "Okay, okay. Jeez, I hope it's not a cheap vending machine ring like last time."
He grinned "Nope. I paid a lot for this."
I look at him feeling like I was a burden. He noticed my look and as if he read my mind he said. "Don't worry, you're not being a burden. I took this money from my teacher. I know you will like it a lot."
Those words pierced my heart with happiness and sorrow. I stared at him uneasily. I noticed he was wearing a baby blue hoodie and jeans. His hair was shaggy as usual. His eyes were yellowish. Some genes in humanes, like his mother's eyes and marked skin, are noticeable.  His mother died from the disease, but men are unaffected by its deadly touch. Besides, his eyes he looked like his father, dull brown unless something overwhelms him.
