• Chapter 1: A New Beginning

    It’s 7:26 a.m. and I am god damn tired!!! I had to pull an all-nighter last night, trying to practice my necromancy with my grandmother and today’s my first day of school as a senior. Welcome to my world... I guess it’s time to introduce myself now. The name is Eleanor and I’m a necromancer. What’s a necromancer, you may ask? It’s a person who can raise the dead and control them. It’s a very bloody power actually since small sacrifices are needed to raise them. A necromancer only needs human sacrifices when they’re trying to raise a corpse that is more than a century old. Me, I discovered my powers 2 years ago, so I haven’t done a human sacrifice yet, but I’m still a strong necromancer. I have straight dark brown hair, dark brown eyes (they get darker throughout the story, due to her necromancy), china white skin, 5”5 feet tall, and pretty slim.

    While in school, I spotted a good friend of mine, Victoria Basque. She’s about the same height as me; curly dark brown hair, black eyes and fair brown skin. She is a dark mage, meaning she uses black magic. She has abilities similar to mine and she teaches me who to use more of my necromancy. She’s really powerful and she’s a good fighter. Thanks to her, I learned how to use my black magic for other things besides necromancy; for example voodoo magic, mental emancipation, etc.

    Then, I turned my attention to another friend of mine, Luna Crowley. She has curly black hair, light brown eyes, pale skin, fair figure, and is 5”6 feet tall. She’s a white mage, meaning she uses white magic. Maria is a skilled witch and a good friend. She heals, sees the future, does telepathy, summon creatures, etc. Then, she noticed that I was looking at her and smiled at me as I smiled back.

    I turned to my right and saw another friend, Wayne Delacourt. He has soft black hair, dark brown eyes (they turn ocean-blue is some occasions) and pale skin. He’s a century old vampire. That’s why he can be in the sun without being burned. I found out his secret when I once accidentally released a lot of my power in a cemetery that attracted everything dead and as far as I know, vampires are walking corpses. A lot of vampires appeared, along with tons of raised zombies. I saw Wayne in that cemetery and I asked him what he was doing there. He told me his secret after I threatened to send zombies after him to rip him apart. Strangely, I meant it. He’s been calling me “Zombie Queen” ever since.

    Then, I turned once more and saw my sworn enemy, Edward Taylor. I hate that guy! He’s a fairy. No, fairies are not small creatures. They’re human sized so they can walk among us. I hate him because of his cocky and cool guy attitude. Also, he uses glamour to get all the girls. Glamour is a fairy ability that makes them irresistible to non-magical creatures, meaning that glamour doesn’t work on me or any of my friends. He has ash blond hair and light green eyes, the sign of a fairy and about 5”7 feet tall. I shook my head and looked away from him.

    Then, I spotted another enemy, Gabriel Stone the lycanthrope. He has shoulder-length jet black hair, stunning gray eyes and slightly tanned skin. He’s the oldest here. He’s actually a were-leopard. He’s an evil little kitty! Some of the girls in this school think he’s cute, but looks can be deceiving. He almost turned me into a lycanthrope once. He almost scratched me to death and if one gets scratched by a lycanthrope while they’re in their animal form, they might turn into a lycanthrope themselves. I almost turned furry because of him! Evil cat!

    After that, another familiar face caught my attention, Jason Holland. He’s a werewolf, but I’m still not sure if he’s an ally or not. He has straight baby fine blond hair, big light blue eyes, fair skin and a sunny complexion. I can describe him in one word; pervert. He’s cocky and a complete flirt, but he’s dangerous in his wolf form. I met him in a meeting with the alpha male of his wolf pack who wanted me to solve a mystery in his pack. Apparently, that night was a full moon and I almost became Jason’s dinner if the alpha male didn’t stop him. He also tried to eat me the second time we saw each other! His excuse is that I look good enough to eat. That’s why you must never trust wolves!

    At that moment, I saw 2 friends of mine coming in, Felicity and Charlotte. We’ve been friends for a long, long time. They are the victims of a were-tiger attack, but they turned into lycanthropes themselves. They were my first friends I made in this school, along with Victoria. Felicity is kind of shy around other people, but she’s more outgoing with us and Charlotte is smart and loves to tease others. Together, we’re the strangest group of friends you will ever see. I’m not lying...

    “ELEANOR!!!” A female, loud voice yelled.

    Before I knew it, bam!!! I was glomped. Pulling me into a painful, bear hug was a younger, dark haired girl with light green eyes. Her name is Solange Roman. She’s an ice dragon demon. We met 3 summers ago when I went to Alaska. Apparently, she was shunned by her dragon pack so I took care of her and brought her here. She’s very silly, spontaneous and extremely hyper, which is why we love her.

    “Solange...you’re squishing me...” I said, out of breath.

    “But I missed you..!” She whined.

    “ELEANOR!!!” A male voice yelled.

    Now, guess what happens. I got glomped again! This time, it was my other dragon friend, Christopher or his nickname, Tobi. He’s a fire dragon demon, meaning that he and Solange play pranks on each other a lot. Anyway, Tobi is a lot like Sol, but he’s very goal-oriented. He and Charlotte say that they want to conquer the world, but they’re just kidding...I hope...

    “Hey Tobi...” I said.

    “Hey Eleanor, how was your summer?” He said.

    “Eh, same old...”

    By ‘same old’, I meant that I had to go on mission, raise zombies and solve killings. I actually work for the IMM institution which stands for, Investigation of Magical Mysteries. It’s like a CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) organization, only of magical creatures. Jason, Victoria and I work there as a part time job until we finish collage and then, we’ll work full time. It’s a cool job; solving mysteries, going on missions, etc.

    “My summer was boring...I wish I worked where you work...” Sol said.

    “Yeah, do you think there are hiring over there?” Tobi asked.

    “No, we have enough squads already...” I said.

    “Well, did anything interesting happen to you over the summer?” Sol asked.

    “Well...Jason tried to eat me...for the 3rd time!!! He claims that it was an accident, but I don’t believe him. Victoria taught me how to control the soul of the dead directly...and I went to Romania and saw Dracula’s castle. I could have sworn that I saw something strange there though...” I said.

    “That’s so cool!” Tobi said.

    “Oh, by the way Eleanor, Jason’s looking for you..!” Sol said.

    “Better not be to eat me...I’ll be right back...” I said, walking towards Jason.

    “Hey Eleanor, I have the perfect prank for Fairyboy (Our nickname for Edward)!” Jason said.

    “Tell me...” I said.

    “Well, I was thinking that you should use your powers to...” He whispered the rest in my ear.

    *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

    “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” A high pitched scream was heard all over the school.

    “What the hell is that?!” Solange asked.

    “Oh, just Fairyboy running away from a couple of undead rats...” I said, smirking.

    Not so long ago, I learned that he was terrified of corpses and he gets scared when he sees them. So, I raised a couple of dead rats from the dead and ordered them to chase him. Apparently, moving corpses are scarier than motionless ones...

    Then, it was snack time. We were all sitting on our table in the school yard. On that table, we magical creatures get together (excluding Gabriel and Edward) and we seem like ordinary teenagers. Solange put a whoopee cushion on Tobi’s seat when he wasn’t looking, Maria was reading a Wicca book, Victoria was talking to Wayne about vampires, Charlotte and Felicity are watching a video of Fairyboy running away from the undead rats and screaming like a little girl on Jason’s camera, and Jason was talking about eating me again while I took our my silver cross for protection. Ok, that last thing wasn’t very normal, but it is for us...
