The Blackening Of Olive Lane
The books say that besides empaths, mages are the most sensitive when it comes to emotions. They also say that mages are the most dangerous supernatural s pecies to walk the earth. There's a reason for that, the elders say that mages who are underaged are a ticking time bomb because if a mage who is not of age constantly experiences negative emotions before their Coming of Age ceremony, their magic becomes twisted, their heart becomes cold and their eyes change to reflect that evil magic coursing through them.
No one ever believed the books, thinking of them as fairy tales. At least they didn't until Olive Lane walked into school her magic dark and corrupted enough to give her a shadow familiar. Her hair no longer an almost white blond but a haunting purple. Gone were her kind and emotion-filled green eyes and in their place were amethyst eyes filled with nothing but hatred and amusement.
Everyone watched her snap the neck of a classmate with the tilt of her head and it was in that moment they realized that the books and the elders were right. And for the first time in their peace-filled lives, the residents of Ravenswood felt true horror because when she looked at them, they knew that in front of them was the monster spoken of in fear and terrified reverence. Olive Lane,the sweetest and kindest person to ever walk the earth was now a Dark Mage.
Will her soul be forever lost in the darkness or is there a hope for redemption? Will she defeat her demons or will they overtake her and ruin that which she loves...

Chapter: Chapter 21 "Ow!" Olive let out a yelp almost crushing Chelsea's fingers from where she was holding it. The smell of her pain punched Chelsea in the gut. It was sour. More sour than the grapes she had last week as part of her dare. Chelsea could only squeeze back, hoping the gesture was enough to comfort her friend. After a while, her scent shifted from sour to stale telling Chelsea that she was no longer in a lot of pain but was still uncomfortable. "Hey Olly?" She tentatively called out. "Yeah Chelsea?" Was the response. "Do you think you'll be okay if I go grab us something from the cafeteria?" "Yeah. Sure." And with a smile Chelsea was sent off leaving Olive alone with nurse Winn. Ten minutes later, Chelsea still wasn't back from the cafeteria and Olive was progressively getting sleepier which was odd as she could never fall asleep in any sort of medical space because of her psy experience. Trying to fight the sands of Morpheus and failing woefully, Olive

Chapter: Chapter 20During the lunch break, Olive decided to invite Skye to join them at their table. To her, Skye looked shy, if not a bit wary of them, and she wanted to change that.As they moved down the line, it was finally her turn, and as she grabbed her tray and began to move towards their table, the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to her since kindergarten happened.She tripped.She tripped and landed face-first on the floor, with her body squashing the food tray.The hall was quiet, as though its residents were trying to process the sight in front of them. At once, like a flipped switch, loud laughter flooded the room.Embarrassment like never before ran through Olive as Chelsea, who was already sitting, ran to help her up. Ashton had gone to the bathroom, and Olive was thankful he wasn't there to witness it."Are you okay?" Jessie asked as she rushed to Olive's side as well. She had been distracted by a text and thus had missed the sight of Olive tripping. She was only made aware that s

Chapter: Chapter 19Jessie woke up Monday morning and for some reason, she felt off and her magic wasn't afraid to show it. It started with how she almost tripped because of a pillow that appeared out of nowhere on her way to the bathroom, then her magic setting the water too high and almost burning her skin off, then nicking herself with a knife with her magic bending the knife in her anger and finally, checking her bag before realizing her homework was on her reading table in homeroom.Banging her head on the desk, she attracted the stares of everyone and worried looks from her friends."Hey, what's wrong?" Olive asked softly in order to not be caught by the teacher. Jessie raised her head revealing her eyes that had gone red from frustration."Today has been the absolute worst. It's been one horrible moment to the other." Jessie whined. "I just have this feeling that something is going to go wrong today and it keeps making my magic go nuts."As she spoke, her desk promptly exploded into a shower of fl

Chapter: Chapter 18Monday,At the ring of the bell signalling the end of the school day, students couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Jessie who had sat down in front of Olive looked up from her bag at Chelsea who was slumped over her desk and then at Ashton and Olive who were being all lovey-dovey. She grasped the concert tickets and summoned her courage."Hey, guys?" Her questioning tone bringing the other's attention to her. "You know the Enchantia Concert coming up this Friday... " She wasn't expecting Olive to let out a squeak. "Oh, my sweet candy fluff unicorns! I have been so distracted lately that I forgot their concert was this Friday." Her voice quickly morphed into horror. "I don't have tickets, I'm a terrible Chantia" she groaned slumping over her desk."Umm... I may have a solution to your problem." Jessie said and brought out the tickets from her bag.Olive looked up and lunged at Jessie pulling her into a dramatic hug. "You. Are. My. Saviour." she punctuated each word with a sque

Chapter: Chapter 17And just like that the week came to an end. Jessie had somehow managed to carve out a space for herself in their little gang earning her envious eyes everywhere she turned.She could now proudly call Olive and Chelsea her friends without feeling awkward. They had made her feel so welcome it was like they had grown up together.They had scheduled a group outing at the arcade wanting the group to be complete and have a fun time celebrating the upcoming weekend.They had played all sorts of games before finally agreeing to play a game of laser tag. Huddling down together in the dimly lit lobby of the laser tag arena, Olive, Jackson, Jessie, Ashton, and Chelsea kept grinning at each other. Their adrenaline was pumping as they prepared to enter the neon-colored battlefield."I call the blue team!" Chelsea declared, snatching a matching blue laser tag vest from the pile."No way, I'm captain of the blue team," Jackson countered, trying to grab the vest out of Chelsea's hands.The two sibli

Chapter: Chapter 16"It couldn't have been a dream, could it?" Olive asked already beginning to doubt herself. Grabbing her forehead, she rested her back on the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.Rosabella spoke almost immediately," It has to be because I didn't hear a thing and the wards didn't pick up on any foreign magic."And just like that Olive was convinced that her encounter had been a figment of her imagination. She was sent back to bed and even though something at the back of her mind kept whispering that it wasn't a dream, she ignored it and settled down to sleep once again hopefully, without any bad dreams.Later in the day,By the time she got the school, Olive had already left the last vestiges of her dream at the back of her mind. Ashton had asked her out on a date and she was excited about it since their last date had been cancelled due to her panic attack.Once school ended, Chelsea bullied Jessie into joining her at Desiree's so Ashton and Olive could have time to themselve
