Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe Fred's influence talking about Harry Potter really got me excited to see flying brooms because all I saw was a generic school building. Elementary kids were outside playing four square or just running around playing tag. This was so very disappointing. Megan, who I came to remember her name fairly quickly, was currently walking ahead of us towards the main doors. She muttered some words under her breath and then opened the door for us . Again, the disappointed look on my face didn't disappear.
"What's with that look" Megan said her voice sounding irritated. I didn't understand why this girl hated me so much. I mean she started her mean girl attitude the moment she saw me. If I remembered correctly, I already apologized for calling them South Park goths wannabes.
"The door opening by itself would have been much cooler" I shrugged as we stepped inside the building.
"You know what-" Megan was just about ready to go off on me but was completely tuned out. I realized the building looked drastically bigger and one large hallway that looked it can go on for miles. I was only able to see 5 doors within theses white brick walls. The first four doors were wooden and painted with a dark red color. Each door had a golden letter engrave on the door knob; however the last door was painted a metallic black. It gave me an ominous feeling that didn't sit well with me. Fred can't you like teleport me out of here or something!
I can't. At least for right now.
"Don't worry Mikaela, nothing bad is going to happen to you." The boy promised no longer having his hands on my shoulders. " Oh by the way, my name is Rei, just in case we run into each other again" He said reaching out to shake my hand. I figured this was my chance to turn around and run from these insidious doors. However, I had completely forgotten about the annoyingly tall giant who was walking silently behind me the whole time. Before I had the chance to even turn my head to find an exit, he turned my head back forward, not saying a word. Megan opened the last door revealing only pitch blackness. There was nothing I could see that would give me a hint of what I was about to walk through.
Megan was the first to go through the door and then Rei was second. I was supposed to be next but I kept my feet planted on the floor. "There's no way in hell I'm going in there"
"I don't have all day." He answered with annoying cool tone. I felt myself being lifted up from underneath my arms and carried through the door. The room was still very dark but there was a hint of a soft light illuminating from the wooden desks a few feet in front of me. I was able to see a mixture of men and women sitting down wearing a very professional attire that appeared very expensive. I couldn't make what impression they had of me since none of them were smiling. They would look at me and then go back to taking notes. It felt like they were observing at some odd bug who snuck through the crack of their school.
"Group A, you are dismissed. You may return back to class" An older man and woman dressed in all black came through a door that I didn't even realize was even there. The group looked relieved to leave the place. Megan and the giant were the first to turn back to the door that we came from.
"Good luck Mikaela" Rei said giving me pat on the back and turned to catch up with his group. Once I heard the door closed from behind, my chest felt tight as I realized that everyone was staring at me. "Mikaela Hernadez. Am I pronouncing that correctly? " The man said as he took the empty chair that was right in the middle of the five desks that surrounded me. The man had fairly pale complexion and the blues eyes I had ever seen.
"Yeah..." I answered nervously my thoughts were rapidly coming to the conclusion that this was the Illuminate or place of human trafficking that was pretending to be a school.
It's not the Illuminate. Relax.-Fred said shortly. He never said it wasn't human trafficking. How the fuck I'm suppose to relax!
"I know this may seem scary and difficult to understand what's going on. Trust me, I don't normally call this many people to talk to a future student of ours. I'm Father John. I won't list everyones name in the room since they'll all have the chance to introduce themselves once you start classes" Father John explained but it wasn't registering in my head. Did he just say I'm starting school?
Yep. Congrats you have been accepted to Hogwarts -Fred said unenthusiastically.
"But I already started school at Western High-This doesn't make sense" I felt myself feeling little bit light head. This was happening way too fast.
"Mikaela, correct me If I am wrong. You have merged with a demon which he may have already made promises to make you the strongest being in the world." The priest said his arms now folded staring down at me as if he just read my mind. Really Fred, do you use all the same damn pitches with the people you merged with!
Baby, it aint like that..
"He also promised to take me to Las Vegas" I muttered thinking that may have been another one of his devil pitches.
"Well, I can't say he's not wrong. He can make you one of the most powerful beings but know whatever power he gives you, it is not without his benefits." He said which I could have figured out myself. "Also, it is uncommon to have someone that has no experience with the paranormal nor a bloodline with spiritual abilities to be able to merge with a demon without becoming fully possessed. That is why it is very urgent for you to attend the Paranorma Academy before you become a danger to yourself and others. Do we all agree?" Father John said looking for confirmation of the people sitting around him. Everyone took a moment to look at one another and then eventually agreed either verbally or nodded their head to the terms
"Welcome to Paranorma, Miss Hernadez. We'll have everything sorted for you tomorrow so you are ready for your first day. " John smiled appearing to be happy to finish what felt like a meeting. "Now, if you go throughout that door, it will take you to you the room that you'll be staying at for now on"
"But my family-"
"Your Aunt Sofia and Uncle Gustavo have been notified. They agreed that it would be best for you to stay under our custody due to the circumstance that almost occurred at the bridge. And also my deepest condolence, Miss Hernadez. No one should have died the way she did" John began but then stopped seeing the confusion on my face.
"We're you not aware of your mother's passing, I am so-"
"No...no. I know she died but what do you mean she shouldn't have died the way she did?"I really hate those moments where you start to hear your own voice crack. Thankfully, everyone had left as soon as they agreed for me to start this Hogwart shit of a school. "I'm so sorry, Mikaela. I thought with the news broadcasting for hours and everything with social media outlet happens fast, I thought it would have been brought to your attention by now"
"I haven't. My phone has been dead since yesterday night and I've been dealing with a condescending demon" I said wanting for him hurry to spill the information out already.
Don't be rude-
Shut-up Fred. Not. The. Time.
"Someone had burned your mother alive."
