Life Of A Genderbent

Chapter One - It All Began (Homura)

Hey, this is just a quick reminder that is a joint account. Have fun reading! 

~-~-~

It had started as a normal day in English period. I hadn't wanted to come to school today. When I said normal, I met... as normal as it could get. It had been hours since the old women died from a heart attack. It was Jonathan fault. All his fault. That women may have been weird, but... she was kind, and cool, and I was... her friend. I know it might seem weird a fifteen year old being friends with an old lady, but I wasn't the only one. But something brought me back to her words... and her purple eyes. I would know unnatural, considering mine were red, but why were her brown eyes... purple? Lucky number twenty-five? Bewitched? That's when it clicked. Jonathan killed a witch. Now we were all cursed. A gender switch? So that means I should be male then? No, she said sundown. We have today. I need to find Winter. Some people didn't believe we were sisters. I can't necessary say I blame them. We were polar opposites. She had white hair, I had black hair. I red eyes, hers blue. I hidden fire magic and hers hidden ice magic. We were sisters though, I swear we are. I eyed her from my side of the room. She was looking at her sketch book. I couldn't say I was surprised. Now, I need to get her attention. 

"Homura Aspen! Did you listen to what I said?" I winced at the teachers harsh words. Honestly, I can't wait for her to quit. English teachers are nice... this one... is not. Took in a deep breath. 

"Sorry, no I didn't, but I already learned this years ago so I don't really need too." Teach's mouth went from a firm line to a snarl of teeth. 

"OUT OF THIS CLASS! NOW!" I snorted and looked at Winter. She had the same hatred for this teacher as I did.   

"So because she says she already knew something you're mad? The last person that did that got praised for learning ahead, looks to me like you're playing favorites," Winter said closing her sketch book. 

"BOTH OF YOU OUT!" She was fuming and I had to hold in my laughter. 

"Gladly," I said as I let Winter out of the room.

Once out in the hall Winter turned to me. "So... what's up?" She knew something was wrong when I back talked a teacher. I can see it now, 'Emo Teachers Pet Lashes Out!' or something like that. Just because I was a goody goody at school didn't mean I was a perfect child. I bit the inside of my lip. The woman's death only occurred a few hours ago and... it hit me... and Winter... hard. 

"Y-you remember this morning?" I don't know why I stuttered, but it was to late to fix now. She nodded her head seeming to already want to forget the question. "She cursed the town. Everything changes tomorrow." Winter seemed in deep thought. 

"We aren't gonna be females anymore." No, no we were not. I don't know what I felt about this. Scared? No... at the moment I don't really feel anything... I probably will tomorrow morning. This entire thing was making me question everything. I had quite a few questions I really couldn't ask.

"I'm taking the rest of the day off. I should have skipped anyway," I said as I turned around. My mind was way to frenzied to be here. Sure I would get in trouble but... everyone has a day where they are off right? Plus I honestly could care less about that teacher, so screw the school. 

"Alright." We actually both walked out of the school. But that's were we separated. I was gonna miss being a girl... mostly for not being judged for cool hair styles and makeup... if I was a boy I would be teased... and I would probably snap... which would get me and hella lotta trouble. I rubbed my temples as I walked. I don't know where I was going, I just knew was far away from the school. I subconsciously when to the old women house. I didn't realize I was crying until I looked in the puddle in her driveway.    

"I'm sorry we couldn't save you." The wind seemed to reply to my words. 

"My time was up. Don't mourn me, thank you for your kindness." I could hear her voice. I promise that I will be as kind as I can, to prove we really did earn, lucky number twenty-five. The women lived in the woods. I always felt more at home in the woods, no one to see me practice my magic, which I decided to do now. For hours I just worked with my magic, it was defiantly gonna be much stronger. After a while though I figured it was time to go home... and wake up... as a male... that is assuming I can sleep anyway.

Sorry this is really short. I didn't know what to write, but hey, Winter is full of ideas right now so you should be getting a good chapter soon. Enjoy my hatchlings. (Btw, my mom actually calls me a hatchling. Though I'm a dragon hatchling, you guys can be any hatchling. I could also be a snake hatchling though. Well cya.)
