'A new town is a happy town!' that is what my mom has been saying for the past ten minutes. Pft yeah right. New town means new people, new places, and worst of all new schools.

Right now we are driving to our new house. Houses are the only things I get excited about when we move. Mom is great about picking houses that are surrounded by forests that I can explore and train in. This one is no exception!

We pulled into one of the most beautiful cottages I have ever seen. It was like a fairy tale house. Made completely of grey brick with surprisingly well kept flower beds surrounding the perimeter. All that was missing were the seven dwarfs.

Not taking my eyes off the beautiful two story house, I slowly exited the car and walked to the door. I heard a chuckle behind me and turned to see mom holding the keys to our brand new house.

"So, I'm guessing you like it?"

"Like it? I absolutely love it!" I ran to give her a hug. I was the same height as her now. It seems like yesterday we moved into our first house together and she had to hold my hand to cross the street.

"Now I know you want to go explore but first you are going to help me unpack." I told you my favorite thing about moving so naturally now you know my least favorite part. Unpacking. The very word makes me want to puke.

"Moooooooooom!"

"No buts or whining. Now take this with you and go to the second floor, last room on the right. It's your room." she said all of this while giving me a glare that only mothers could pull off. I reluctantly took the box and searched for my new room. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

I entered the doorway to be greeted by the sight of an awesome living room. Most of our big stuff was moved by the moving company last week so our couches, tv, and entertainment center were all ready to go.

I continued making my way through the house, passing through a kitchen that I know mom will love, an office, and a spacious living room. Then, I finally got to the staircase.

Using mom's directions, I went up the stairs and to the last door on the right. I almost dropped the box I was carrying. My new room was the prettiest thing I have ever laid eyes on. It was bigger than any room I've had before but sadly no bathroom. Not that I was complaining at all! Three of the walls had been painted a soft gray and one was a deep blue. The carpet was a light cream with a decorative rug in the center.

Blue is my favorite color because water is my favorite element. It made me feel peaceful and closer to my mom because that is her element. It was also the easiest for me to master.

I turned my eyes away from the colors and onto the rest of the room. A king sized bed had been pushed into the corner to the left of the door. A hand made quilt with matching pillows were already on it. My tv stood on a cabinet across from the bed. Upon further investigation I discovered that all of my movies were hidden behind the doors of the cabinet. A matching dresser was on the wall to the right of the door. Mom chose that time to ruin the moment I was having with my new room.

"Rosa! We will be staying here for a while so admire your room later and help me!" I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. Mom was waiting with another box. Even more boxes surrounded her. She held the box out. "To the office."

About two hours later, we finally had all of the boxes in their place. I love this place but it has way too many rooms! Usually we stayed in small apartments or hotels. Mom must have been busy gathering stuff for awhile.

After a quick dinner, I went outside to explore for a little bit. The outside was just as beautiful as the inside. But I won't go into detail on it just yet.

When I got inside I found mom sitting at the kitchen table. She was looking worriedly at a stack of papers.

"Hey mama, what's up?" I pulled up a chair next to her.

"Honey, what is the name of your new school?"

"Potentia. Why?"

"I think we might be in another packs territory. Actually I don't think, I know we are." That statement made me freeze. We stared at each other for a minute.

"We should be safe. It's not like we're rogues or anything." I said and chewed my lip nervously. I hoped I wasn't being too naive.

"No we should be good for a while. They probably won't recognize you from your scent. You'll just be a human with an interesting smell. Now go to bed, you still have to go to school tomorrow." She didn't sound convincing but I nodded anyway.

How was I supposed to go to school knowing that I could probably get killed.
