Cosima Arko

Nora almost killed me for the second time. A sinking feeling in my gut told me that the third time, might claim my life. It seemed that even being on Earth didn’t protect me from Nora’s wrath. The magic I discovered inside me didn’t seem to be enough to save my life. Valcrum’s words echoed in my mind, and I clung to them like a lifeline.

Shaking my head, I stood up, and walked to the window. The Eastwick Academy was the most lavish place I had ever been. The bed was queen size and the windows were covered with crushed velvet curtains and the décor was remarkable. There was a huge mahogany hand carved desk in the corner of the bedroom, and the window allows a lot of light into the room. Most importantly, this beautiful room was all mine. I’ve never had a personal space and I like it.

Glancing at the clock on the wall showed that I had fifteen minutes before I was supposed to meet Cade Cohen down in the auditorium for training. I’m glad that Chaniya is here with me. This situation would be worse if I had to do this alone.

I’m glad that this training will help me discover my magical talent and harness the magic that I can wield now. My feet were out the door, my hand swinging the door shut, before I thought better.

Heading down the hallway my steps halted. The hallways were packed. There were so many students moving about, and the scorching heat rose up in my throat. Reaching inside my pocket, I slid the peppermint candy on my tongue and sucked hard. A few minutes later, the saliva pooling in my mouth stopped, and I forced my feet to move.

A girl with fiery reddish blonde hair walked toward me. She had hazel eyes and appeared happy, a smile on her face. I swallowed hard and tried to move out of her path as she came closer.

She stopped in front of me holding out her hand. Welcome to Eastwick Academy. I’m Griselda Garcia.

I smiled and shook her hand. Cosima Arko.

This was no ordinary academy. My eyes narrowed and I looked at her intently. Are you an angel or something else?

I am an angel. The school does have angels, mutagens, and now I heard a rumor that there are even witches and mages here, said Griselda.

Do the angels have something against witches? My eyes widened, do you have something against witches?

She smiled and winked. Only the witches that have something against me.

A surprised giggled bubbled up. You will love my sister Chaniya. I’m glad you don’t have anything against witches because my sister and I are witches.

Chaniya slammed out her door and stopped when she spotted Griselda and me. Her hair was bound high in a ninja bun and she had dark circles underneath her eyes. I hope you’ve thought about what I said. Once you see what happens today, then you can make a decision.

I frowned. What do you think is going to happen today?

Chaniya rolled her eyes. You’re here for one day, make a friend, and now you forget about dad?

Griselda stepped back. You were wrong. I don’t like your sister.

My faced flushed. I haven’t forgotten about dad. But Valcrum expects us to help them and I don’t intend to disobey him.

Heat flooded my face but I turned on my heels away from my sister. She has been a pain in my side ever since she came to Earth. Dad is grown and should be able to handle himself, if he wasn’t drowning himself in a bottle.

When I saw Luc heading toward us with a chocolate glazed donut I smiled. Griselda inhaled a deep breath when she saw him. Her elbow found my lower rib as she whispered how she found Luc intriguing. "He is handsome. You must introduce me to him," said Griselda.

A smile curved my lips. He’s taken.

Griselda shrugged. He hasn’t met me, so he may dump her when he meets me.

Chaniya’s deep voice rumbled behind me and made me smile.

Luc walked up to me and smiled. Good morning, how are you?

I snatched the donut and took a generous bite. Please talk some sense into her. I can’t deal with her attitude today.

Popping the rest of the donut in my mouth I glared at Chaniya, whose face had turned the beet red.

The training gym was amazing. There was a long hallway, where a small room on the right, had every weapon imaginable. It seemed like there were a thousand students gathered here to practice their magical skills and learning how to survive. Glancing around the gym, I saw Luc hovering over Chaniya.

Griselda snorted. Your sister is beautiful but she isn’t very nice. What does he see in her?

Biting my lip, I shook my head. You know what they say about opposites attracting.

A guy so beautiful it was a crime waltzed into the gym. All the students fell silent once they saw him. He held up his hand. "We will train hard today. Quin, Adrian, Brian, and I will break everyone up into groups to train and learn each other’s skill.

I jabbed Griselda in the rib. Who is that?

She smiled. He is the most handsome guy here. That is Cade Cohen but don’t set your eyes on him. He doesn’t date students, but I think he likes Arianna Deeds.

Who is Arianna Deeds? I didn’t ask her aloud but I did notice Cade’s eyes flying back to the red-haired beauty standing off to the right.

All the guys except Cade paired off with twenty students and training started. Cade had walked over looking at each student in all the groups. I didn’t know the seventeen other students around me but I did now Luc, Chaniya, and Griselda.

The rest of you are with me, said Cade.

We had paired off into groups of two, and we started with basic survival skills.
