Chapter 6

The school was bigger than father's house. There was a bunch of people around my age walking around and talking. Some sat on the floor and read while others ran around and played with a brown egg shaped ball. There were double doors in front of the building. Over it I could read the school's name: Mason Academy.

"Why is it called that?"I asked Will.

"Oh well Carter's full name is Carter Mason the Hedgehog. Her family owns the school, but don't ask her about it." He said with a weird look on his face.

"Why?"

"She has this really preppy sister named Avalon. Total bitch if you ask me, and Carter can't stand her. So yeah she doesn't really get along with that side of her family, but she loves the side Sonic comes from." He smiled

"Is there a certain reason why she loves that side so much?"

"Besides that Sonic is her favorite cousin? It's her dad's side of the family. The side with all the cool abilities that she inherited not her sister."

I was about to ask him what he meant by abilities but I was interrupted by a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Shadow.

Shadow was now in black jeans and a red T-shirt. It kind of matched his black and red shoes. He also wore a black leather jacket with navy blue lightening bolts on them. He looked nice.

"Hey Luna." Shadow said.

"Hello Shadow" I said back with a smile.

Will did not greet Shadow with words, just a wave.

"Luna! Will! Shadow!" A familiar voice called out.

I turned just in time for Carter to catch me in a hug. Today she wore a different outfit. She white skinny jeans and a black v-neck. It wasn't too low cut which was good. She still wore the same accessories though.

"Morning Carter." I greeted her.

Carter smiled at me. She had opened her mouth to say something but another voice cut it.

"Oh look if it isn't my slutty sister and her mutt of a friend Will."

Carter and Will glared at the girl. Shadow put himself in front of me. It didn't really look like he was protecting me but I knew he was.

The girl, who I was assuming was Avalon, looked a lot like Carter but yet different. She had light green fur and bright blue eyes. Everything else but her clothes was almost the exact same as Carter. They had the same body shape and must have been the same height. Their facial features were also the same. Will didn't say but they must be twins. Avalon wore a pink extremely low cut v-neck top. She also wore a matching skirt that was just as revealing. Now I know what a slut is but I don't think Avalon does. She had called Carter the slut but it seemed pretty apparent to me that Avalon was. I didn't say that though.

"What do you want Avalon." Will said angered.

"Well if you must know, Mutt, I noticed Mr. Shadow over here so I decided to come and say hello. Maybe even warn him about you two losers" She said with a perky yet snotty tone.

Will growled but Carter stopped him and spoke up.

"Where are your followers, little whore?" Carter snapped.

That obviously made Avalon angry, but she tried to make it look like she didn't care what her sister said.

"I told them to wait behind so they wouldn't catch your stupidity."

"They should be immune to that since they spend so much time with you."

Avalon then jumped on her sister and they started fighting. All of the other students stopped what they were doing to cheer them on. Shadow pushed me away from the two as Will tried to pull Carter away which wasn't doing much.

Suddenly a cobalt blue sphere came spinning out of nowhere and landed in the center of the crowd that had formed around the two girls. As soon as the sphere hit the ground it changed into Sonic. That must be one of the abilities Will was talking about.

Sonic grabbed his two cousins by their shirts and separated them with ease. Amy and the rest of the gang soon joined him in the center, but Sonic was too busy scolding the girls to notice.

"What the Hell is wrong with you two?! You're the Mason Twins. The daughters of this school so you should be setting an example for everyone else here. I mean like following the rules and stuff." Sonic continued to lecture them as the rest of the students scattered probably to scared of getting scolded themselves.

Just as Sonic finished lecturing them a loud bell rang. Lots of the students started running inside the building. Amy grabbed Sonic by his ear and pulled him away muttering something about being late. Avalon got up and started running in to. Carter waved bye to me, grabbed Will's arm and disappeared and I mean literally. Soon enough it was just me and Shadow on our own.

"What just happened?" I asked him.

"I do believe class has started."

"Oh... then I guess we should go to the one we're in." I said quietly.

"Um yeah... This paper says we both got English first."

So we went in to find our English class which wasn't easy. This school was huge and Shadow refused to ask for directions. Something then occurred to me.

"Shadow the other students seem to know who you are but I get the feeling that today is your first day as a student."

"Yeah. I went to middle school with all these guys but I dropped out as soon as I got into the W.P.P. Like I was always extremely smart so it was okay with my mom. I was a junior agent in training during middle school so the others already figured I wouldn't be with them for too long." He explained.

"I see. Why did you want to join anyways?".

Shadow suddenly stopped in his tracks and glared at me intensely.

"THAT is none of your business!" He said angry.

I was so scared I wanted to cry. I might have too if Amy hadn't showed up.

"I thought you two might be wondering the halls. Luckily for you I'm in your English class and the teacher sent me to find you. Everything okay?" Amy said.

"Yeah it's fine, lead the way please." Shadow was now back to his normal self. Amy lead us to the class and I just had a feeling that I wasn't going to like this school.

Later...

When lunch came around I sat with Will, Carter, Sonic, and the rest. I didn't really talk much but I was listening and enjoying their company. Shadow decided that he didn't need to eat lunch with me because I was with so many people. I was okay with it too. After this morning I didn't really wanna be with him.

"Luna." Speaking of Shadow...

"Yes?"I turn to him.

"Lunch is almost over. I do not have the last class with you so can I at least walk you there so I know you got their safely." He was being his normal self. No scary out burst like this morning.

I notice that the Cafeteria is a bit silent. The other students are looking at me and Shadow. My face suddenly starts getting hot. Why was this happening?

Shadow took my hand and I started to calm down. I whispered a yes to answer his question about walking me. We then walked out of their still hand in hand but that just caused the students to stare harder.

My last class was chemistry. It was pretty fun because it was like making magic potions. The only bad thing is that Avalon is my lab partner.

"Luna right?" She says to me as I walk in. I nod and take my seat.

"Your my stupid sister's friend right?"

Carter was my friend? I never really thought of her or the others as my friends. They were just people that I spent time with. I did like them but did that make them my friends?

"Well if it isn't already too late you shouldn't talk to her. If you wanna keep Shadow as your boyfriend then I suggest avoiding her. She's got a crush on him and no one but me can tell because she hides it so well. It's a twin thing."

What was she talking about? Shadow was a boy but I wouldn't say he was my boyfriend. Amy said Sonic was her boyfriend and they are pretty close. So boyfriend must just be a really close friend that is a boy. If anything I would rather have Will as my boyfriend, but right now I don't really have a boyfriend or even a girlfriend.

"I don't have a boyfriend." I said.

"But you and Shadow are like joined to the hip." She said suspiciously. I can't tell her that Shadow is protecting be cause I'm a witch.

"Um well um he just talks to me so he can get closer to Carter. He likes her too I guess." Oh my god! Why did I say that. Who am I to say such things. I don't even know Shadow that well.

"Really?" Avalon asked shocked just as the bell rang.

I left the room as quickly as possible. I can't believe I just lied like that. More importantly I lied about Shadow. I hope Avalon never tells anybody what I said.

"Luna?" Shadow was waiting for me at the front of the school.

"Oh hi Shadow. Are you gonna take me home now?"

"Yeah unless you made plans to do something else."

I thought for a second. It was only three o'clock, so there was still plenty of time in the day. Father and the others said witches were kinda treated equal. Maybe there was a place where I could meet other witches. Someone I might be able to trust.

"Is there like a witches gathering place I can go to?" I asked.

Shadow looked surprised by my question. Maybe there isn't one.

"Yeah but non magicals are not allowed in so I wouldn't be able to go in."

"Oh..."

Shadow's face became red as he looked away from.

"But um if you really wanna go then I guess it would be okay. You should be safe since your own kind is in there..." He said.

I smiled at him. He then lead me to the place. It was only a few minutes from the school. The name was quite odd. It was Moonlight Magic. Now I love the moonlight more than anyone but I doubt it provides any magic.

"Here take this."Shadow handed me a bracelet like thing with a tiny clock on it.

"It's my watch but it's specially made. If anything happens just press the button on the side." Shadow explained.

"Got it." I said as I walked in. Now normally I wouldn't have too much confidence walking into a place I've never been. I mean I'm not even use to being around too many people, but luckily that wasn't the case here.

Moonlight Magic was pretty big on the inside. There were around 15 tables with a couple of enchanting circles and potion bottles on them. The lights were covered with some kind of shade so the room was in a red tent. There were only five other people here.

They were all female and they were each at their own table minding their own business.

"Can I help you dear?" A voice called. An older woman who I didn't notice before came my way. She looked no older than 22. She was a dark red fox with these very bright blue eyes. She wore all sorts of dark clothing and jewelry with many ancient magic symbols. Her whole appearance was just screaming witch.

"Hello ma'am, my name is Luna and I'm fellow witch." I explained.

"Well of course you are. I cast a spell on this building years ago to forbid non magicals from entering. I would be more impressed if you weren't a witch."

"Oh..."

"By the way, my name is Diane."

Diane... I think I just met the one person I can trust completely.

Oh god guys I'm sorry for taking so long and this chapter still being really short. This chapter was suppose to come out weeks ago, and the wait is so not worth it with all these short chapters. So from now on I'm not even going to try to make them long. I'll make them as good as I can but all chapters will be short from this point on no more trying. I'll just include a lot of chapters.
