As I stepped out of the rain soaked streets and into the dimly lit foyer of Nevermore Academy a shiver run down my spine. The once grand mansion loomed before me, it's turrets reaching towards the stormy sky like the skeletal fingers, I have never been the one for boarding schools but desperation has driven me to this forsaken place
My name is Sarah, and I'd been labeled "troubled" by the authorities, they didn't understand me, and I didn't blame them either, I'd grown accustomed to the whispers, the fearless glances and the solitude. But Nevermore Academy promised me something different- a chance to master my peculiarities
As I gazed up the mansion's facade, a figure emerged from the shadows. Professor Argent, the academy enigmatic headmaster, watched me with an unnerving intensity
"Welcome miss Sarah," he said his voice low and husky. " we've been waiting for you"
Unbeknownst to me, my arrival had set off a chain reaction, awakening a power within the academy's ancient walls - power that would change everything.
I'd always felt like I was living in the shadows, like there was a part of me that was lurked just out of sight, waiting to pounce, people said I was quiet, reserved but they didn't understand that I was watching always watching.
I had grown up with an awareness of the darkness lurked within the world, my parents had taught me how to sense the presence of others and how to protect myself from the unknown darkness.
But nothing could have
Prepared me for the night
Everything changed!!!
I was 16 when I saw the boy with eyes that seemed to hold a thousand secrets. He was standing in the alleyway in front of our house, his gaze locked on mine with an intensity that made my heart skipped a beat.
"You're one of us" he whispered vanishing into the night I'd always felt like was chasing the shadow, trying to understand the mysteries that lay just beyond the edge of perception but now I have started to realize that the shadows are the ones chasing me!!
