"You know I don't have to leave..." Macy said as Ariana loaded her bags in the car. " You taught me combat and I can control my power and keep it in check. "
Ariana sighed and turned to meet Macy's gaze " I know you're strong but I can't teach you everything. Listen all will be well . You just have to remember what we talked about"
Ariana smiled sweetly at Macy as she took her hands and squeezed them gently. They soon got into the car and drove off for the docks.
Macy wasn't ready to leave the real world to head for some supernatural college her aunt spoke of. Her aunt Ariana raised her after her parents disappeared without a trace. She was forced to move from her home to her aunt's house and suppress her power.
" We're here!" Ariana said.
Macy sighed as she got her bags out of the car. It was dark yet the docks were full of people. Students being brought by their parents. All gifted.
" Macy remember what we talked about..." Ariana said in a low voice concern written all over her face " You can never tell anyone who your parents are . Your name is Macy Williams. You have my name."
Macy nodded. " I understand.."
Ariana sighed " Please don't make me regret my decision"
Macy gave Ariana a hug wishing she didn't have to do this but she knew it was necessary.
"Please take care" Macy said.
The blow of the cruise ship jogged them from their moment. People began rushing towards the ship since it leaves in a few minutes. Macy grabbed her two bags and with one last look from Ariana rushed for the ship.
Macy boarded the ship along with the other supernatural folks looking to control their power. Gosh all this people hid in plain sight!

"Enough of all the sentimental shit..." A man with a beard covering his face and long dark hair spoke out.
Macy along with the others turned to face him. Another man younger than him but older than the students joined him with a bag in his hand.
" Now we are free from human grasps . I need you to hand all your devices. Any phones tablets..."
Macy expected this since Ariana spoke of the college equipping her with basics to survive in the college. She casually took out her phone and handed it in along with her headphones.
" Now that's over with, let's get down to the introduction. I am Mr Harley and we'll interact in one of your classes but as for now I shall be your guide. Some of you may know how to control their abilities while the rest of you have no clue. Regardless of which you are all equal and no special favors will be granted. So prepare to fight for your life..."
The room dead silent as Mr Harley explained. Macy and the rest listened and Macy recalled of how Ariana said that get by a day was a constant struggle. Just then random numbers appeared before them .
" Those are your room numbers both here and in the college ..."
16.
That was Macy's room . They were soon dismissed and rushed to their rooms. Macy couldn't help but notice a guy giving her death glares . She shrugged it off and headed into her room .
She took her much deserved shower before collapsing onto the bed and drifting off to sleep. She was awaken by a shrilling scream. She quickly rushed out and so did the rest. At the open deck was a girl whose eyes were as white as a ghost .
She stared blankly at everyone before her eyes locked on Macy and she charged towards her. Macy took a few steps back and collided against someone. The person held her tight and when Macy looked up it was the guy from earlier.
He threw her a smirk that sent chills down to her bones. He was holding her down to be attacked.
Mr Harley appeared and casting a spell snapped the girls neck. Everyone gasped at the deed before being asked to head to their rooms. The guy released Macy and walked off as Macy's head spiralled.
" A dark spirit?" Cole , the guy from earlier, asked.
Mr Harley nodded. He carried the body away as Cole followed.
" Go to your room girl" Cole yelled to Macy and she scurried away.
Macy couldn't sleep after that. Chills ran down her bones as she recalled the guy's firm grip. She hadn't even started and someone was out for her blood . Great . Just great!
