When do we start?

Hey all! I'm at PCT time, and since I'm going to do my homework at home (I intepret PCT time as free time XD), I'm going to start us off. Just saying, I usually don't write much, so I'll try my best. Also, everyone should try to move the story along, not just me and a few other people. Please try to make a commitment... I will!

You can start yours off similar to mine. I'm going to be kidnapped and taken to the school. 

Sophia~

I am lying in my bed, restless. There is something... different about this night. I hear the creaking of my door open. I jerk up.

"Who's there?" I whisper, afraid.

There is no noise.

"Who's there???" I demand, a little bit louder.

Suddenly, a shadow moves quickly across my floor and shoots something at me. I black out.

-------------

I'll continue from my charrie's point of view about getting to the acadamy and finding out her power once most people post something.

my eyes are a little blurry I try to wipe them away not wanting to show them my weakness. but I am too late.

"Ohhh, is wittle baby cwying?" Chares taunts. he and Dylan had me conered. I shook my head trying to get past them, but they push my shoulders causing me to trip backwards.

"Hey guys you ready?" a familiar voice says. A tall male with short brown hair and cocoa eyes walks up, phew, saved. I think they wouldn't dare do anyting bad in front of Jack. the nod and walk away to most likly Our house. Jack, was my friend, but I can't help wishing he were more. I amble home not wanting to Face Charles any more than I have to. After Jack's parents and my parents left us back when we were therteen. we manged to fool the real estate agent by saying we were siblings and our parnts would be back any minute. well, Jack did the talking, I was still gawking that he actually knew my name.

~oOo~

I lie in my bed snuggled under the covers trying to sofen sobs.

"Useless," Charerls snarls.

"Yeah, you only Jack's Charity case, it's not like he really likes you," Dylan replies.

it's not true I tell my self it's not true. I pull up my plain dark black hair into a bun and slowly drift off to sleep.

~oOo~

"Ali!" wake up Jack yells at me trowing a pillow. I couldn't imagine why he was up so early it was saterday for crying otu lound. I reach down to pull out my small limp blankit, but I reach down and feel a soft flufy one. I finally open my eyes and relese that there is no way we are still in Texas.

"Where are we?" I ask sitting up. he shrugs gesturing around him, a vast open sapce goes on for miles. suddenly muliples doors open up.

"Chose  on Jack, you powers will tell you wich," a dark and eery voice said as if in a trance, Jack starts walking towered the door. and then all vanishes. every door dissapears  and then Five door reappear. "Chose Alisia-"

"Yeah, I know!" I shout back and an starge sensation fills my body my legs walk towerd the door, and step thround

~0O0~ 

~Tem

I sigh and slip out of bed. Another sleepless night.(Jamie Grace people!) The orphanage vibrates with the slow breathing of dreamers. Only the lonely moon and I are still up. Or so I think. A sudden movement catches my eyes. I whip around. "Who's there?" Nothing. Then, an ice cold hand slaps over my mouth. The other hand holds me into place. A sudden pain throbbs in my head, and I collapse.

I just had an idea for how they tell you your power, so I'm going to post that now.

Sophia~

I look around.

"Where am I?" I wonder out loud.

"You are at Magic Academy," a voice says. "Here, you will find out your magical power."

"I don't have a power!" I protest.

"Yes, you do. Now, if you listen closely, I'll tell it to you, and you will be able to use it... lightning."

Suddenly, I feel the weight of all the electricity in the room. If I focuse hard enough I can identify where it is. 

'Lightning?' I think.

---

More later! I just really wanted to share this.

Penny--

I wake up with a gasp. I was having THAT dream again! But I can never remember what it was.

Someone's here.

I look around and dismis the voice in my head, probably just an after match from my dream. Or was it? I frown, I wish I could remember that dream. It was important. 

CRASH!!!!!

I look around in a panic, was I still asleep? But then I see a dark figure approach me, the open window crashing from the wind. Two more figures appear, one blocking the door and the other one blocking the window. Stopping any chances of running, which I suddenly had a feeling I should do.  And then suddenly everything goes dark.......

I woke up with a searing headache, in a strange room. It was a stone room, and in the corner there was a bed made of straw.

Let me OUT!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heidi does NOT have telekinesis. Sorry for the bad description of her power. This is something different. I'll elaborate later. I hope I'm not controlling Lucie too much.

Heidi~

"Lucy?" 

"Hmm?"

"I can't sleep."

"Oh Heidi," my sister groans as she rolls over to face me, "I thought we were done with this." Even though Lucy is my twin, she is more of the "older sibling." After all, she was born several minutes ahead of me. 

"I had another nightmare. I was dreaming about my parents and..." I can't stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. 

"Shhhh! Don't wake the other girls!" Lucie hisses, looking around at all the othe beds filling the dormitory. Then she sees my face. 

"All right Heidi, why don't you sit down here and tell me about it...softly!" She whispers, patting the space on the bed next to her. I begin describing the dream in its intirety; the flashes of light, the screams, the dark figures. Neither of us know how our parents died; but each of us seem to have fragmented memories that we cannot peice together. And there are always flashes of light. And screams. By the time I finish, I see Lucie wiping away a few tears as well.

"Now go back to bed, lemme get some sleep," Lucie commands. Suddenly I hear a strange creaking noise from the hallway.

"What was that?" Lucie whispers. 

"Probably n-nothing..." I stutter.

"Okay then. Go back to sleep," she repeats. Careful not to wake any of the other girls, I tiptoe back to my bed beside the window. Lying in bed, I listen to the sounds of the other girls' gentle breathing. Lucie and I never really knew our parents, and the only homes we have ever known are orphanages and even a couple foster homes. My mind swirls around and around, keeping me from going to sleep. Suddenly, I hear a noise nearby. Sleepy, I ignore it for a few seconds before sitting up and looking at the window beside by bed. Dull brown curtains flutter out of the open second-story window. Poking my head out, I look around.

"Hello? Anyone—" suddenly a hand clamps over my mouth. Someone must have been standing on the window ledge! Panic takes over. I try to scream, but as soon as I inhale, I feel something between the hand and my nose. Something that makes my head start to spin whenever I breathe. Holding my breath the best I can, I can feel myself weakening. Screaming as loud as I can (which, even though muffled, should still wake someone) I take another breath because my lungs are burning. And then my mind beomes clouded and dizy and the room starts to slip away...

Oh, sorry. Posting now...

~Howler (Lobo)

I run through the darkness, zipping through trees like I dreamed I always would. I've always wished that I had super powers, especially speed. Or if I could turn into a wolf. That would be cool.

Or if I could fly, ohh, and breath under water.

Off task...anyway, oh yes, the dream. I was telling you of my dream.

So I always have this stange dream. I'm zipping through the trees. Something's chasing me. I stop to catch my breath and it catches me, clamping a hand over my mouth. Then everything goes black.

It was a childhood nightmare, one of thse that you never forget. But one night, it actually came true.

Well, at least the dangourus part.

I had the dream again. Zipping through the trees with a blue blur behind me. Then suddenly my dream froze right as I saw the shadow of the creature behind me.

I opened my eyes, and found I coudn't breath. Then I found that there was a hand clamped across my face.

And then it all went black.

I didn't know then, and I wouldn't know for awhile, but my whole life was about to change.

Starting with that dream.

The dream that one day was going to be the death of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried a different type of writing that I thought would be a good introductory. Whatever the evil is, it can somehow capture my characture farther into the story, maybe killing him. Haven't decided.  

Sere~

The art studio was frozen with the weight of winter. Sere welcomed the cold, painting long into the night as snow fell outside.

In between he pulse of her heart, a warmth appeared in the room; a warmth of another human. Sere whirled, picking up her trident.

"Who are you?" she asked, voice curling in the dark of the room.

A fist lunged out of the darkness and hit her chest. Sere swore, diving out of the way and throwing her trident. It missed, embedding itself in the wall.

The dark shape pushed her against the wall, driving a knee into her stomach. Sere cursed, and everything went darker than before... 

Penny~~

Let you out? Who are you!?

If you let me out I'll tell you.

Well! How do I do that?

You just do it.

What!

Someone's coming!

I sigh, have I gone crazy! I'm talking to some voice in my head! It wants me to let it out? I see shadows dance across the wall, two people are coming.

"I don't know, I think we should send her back..."

"Send her back! We don't even know what she can do?"

"It's not good what ever IT is."  

I gasp, my headache has reapeared with a vengince. I think I can hear craking, is it my head? Everything is going dark, the pian is too intense..........................................................

I wake up looking out through somone's eyes. I'm trapped in a metal cage, I have no control over what's happening out side...

I grin as I rub my hands together. These people will have no idea what is about to happen to them. I smile, my power is at it's full strengh. I blast through the prison doors, and laugh as the people stumble and fall.

"Who are you?" the skinny guard says.

"Why, I'm Malus. Your worse nightmare!" I skreech.

I start to shoot them with my magic..........

NONONONONO!!!  I think to myself, that's not me! But I relize with horror, that IS me! How do I stop this, the gaurds are fading, fading fast! I pound at the bars that are keeping me in. Sundly they break with a woose and I'm falling........

I wake up with a gasp, once again in a dark cell. I look down at the dagger in my hand in confuson, when did I get this?

"So, you thought you were going to escape?" A wierd man says.

"I don't know what happened."

I happened! That's what! And I was just getting warmed up.

I cluch my head, the headach has returned. NO you aren't coming put! I grab the cage doors and put a new, stronger lock on it.

That's not fair! 

Really?

"When you're quite done with your struggle I would like to ask what happened." the man says.

"Well, I had a headache when I woke up and a vioce said to Let me out." I started.

"That would be Malus?" he asks.

I glare at him. "Like I was saying, I had a headache. Then I woke up in a cage inside of my mind. The other person, Malus, locked me in their. I finnally escaped, but only after the gaurds got hurt." I said.

"Interesting, well I'll be back, and welcome to Magic Acadamy." he says.  

Okay guys, I'm on vacation with hardly any wi fi, so sorry if I don't post until friday. 

~Tem

I slowly open my eyes. "Finally," a voice says in the darkness. "You're awake." I jump up in fright.

"Who are you and- where am I?" The voice chuckles.

"You have been brought here because you have a power. I will say its name and you will find it. Mind reading." My senses sharpen. I think she's realized it she can hear me now. Tem, can you hear me? 

"I can here you," I say aloud. "How do you know my name?" I know many things you do not know. Now child, I must go." The voice in my head stops.

"Wait!" I call out, "what about the orphanage, you didn't answer my questions!"

~Howler 

I wake, and find myself in a dark room. A sharp paing rushes through my head and I rub it apsently. Where am I? 

Suddenly I heara sound. A sound like something is coming towards me with the speed of the wind. I see the glint of the blade of the dagger just moments before it hits the wall were I was standing a moment ago.

I blink, realizing that I had jumped out of the way and to this spot, feet from were I was laying, in just a few moments.

"Hello? Who's the smart one throwing daggers at me?" I yell into the darkness, still drowsy with sleep.

Another dagger wizzes into veiw and I duck right as it hits the wall where my head was just moments ago. Everything around me is still blurry with sleep, and I squint into the darkness for some sort of figure.

Strangley, I didn't feal scared.

"Child." A booming voice echoed through the darkness. "I am here to inlock your strenghts, and your weeknesses. Now when I say this next word, you will feal the power zip through your bones, and will be able to dodge all of these dagers. Speed."

Nothing changed. I felt nothing 'zip through my bones'. "Is this some sort of jo-," I cut myself off as the blades of many daggers came into veiw. They were on all sides, bellow and above me.

How was I supost to dodge this?
Then suddenly the dagers slowed to a stop inches from my nose. The blades glinted in distant, errie light. I gingerly started walking to he left, surching for a space where there was no daggers in the air.

Strangley, this wasn't weird for me.

I saw an opening and slipped through it, right as I heard all of the daggers dig themselves into the wall.

I painted, suddenly fealing lke I had ran that whole way. The shock of it finally caught up to me two, and I felt my hands shaking in axenty. Then I turned, and was nose-to-face with an old looking man. "Welcom to Magic Acadamy, younge Lobo."
