View MoreAfter a couple of days of moving into their new home; finally, she can go to school. It's been a month since school started . It's already 9: 00 in the morning. After getting everything ready she goes downstairs and straight to the sofa.
"Eileen, aren't you going to eat?" Her mom asked while setting the table.
"No mom, I'm late,"She replied as she continued to wear her socks.
"It's not gonna be the same, " Her dad went down the stairs to the kitchen. He sat and took the newspaper. "I mean it's not the same as your school."Her father continued to read his newspaper.
'Confused from what she heard.'
"I'll be fine, I have to go. I'll just take the bus to go there." she said. "Make sure to take care of yourself," her mom stated.
"Mom. It's not like I'm going to stay there for the rest of my life." she took her bag and when she's about to leave she looked at them."You'll never know," Her father took a sip in his coffee.
After some time finally, the bus arrives. The city is huge and has plenty of choices but her parents wanted her to go to that school because her grandfather and great grandfather studied there.
HIGHLAND ACADEMY
That's the name of the school. Strangely, this place doesn't have many people in it. She went straight to the dean's office; as soon as the door opened she saw a woman standing beside the table.
"You're here! Welcome to our school! I'm the one who's taking care of these beautiful places. So? Do you know anything about this place or do you just move here?" The woman walks towards her.
"I don't have information about this school but my parents said my great grandfather and my grandfather studied here."
"Strange. Did your parents enter this academy?" The woman asked while she rubs her chin.
The woman asks her questions about her grandparents but she doesn't answer and keeps on avoiding them.
"I don't need that information though. So before you start your class we have to know something first." Started looking at her with a serious face. "What do you have?" she asked.
"sorry? What do you mean? "
"What's your name?" The woman asked.
"I'm Eileen, just call me Leen,"
The woman started asking her about promises; she don't understand her questions, for example: 'Can you make promises?', 'Don't you have a promise?' or 'What kind of promise do you have?'
"You know nothing don't you?" Looking at Eileen with astonishment
"If I know, do you think I'm here?" Eileen smirked.
After talking with the woman she was sent to a room where she’s going to stay for the whole school year. You heard it right. Her parents planned everything and after knowing that she planned to finish her first year and don’t come back to that place.
Because her parents planned everything; she doesn't have enough clothes but thankfully the school has clothes for students and it's free. A weird-looking suit: It's a long sleeve that looks like the ones that are used in swimming lessons. And an ordinary uniform. She thought that she would attend swimming lessons. After resting for hours someone knocks on her door; she opened it and a girl was looking at her with a smile on her face and it's a little bit creepy.
"Who are you?" Eileen peeks from behind the door."I'm Tracey Weaver you can just call me Trace," then the girl suddenly enters her room. "I'm Eileen. Call me Leen" Looking at her from behind the door. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I'm here because Ms. Cortez wants me to do so."
"I'm going to tour you in this school," Tracey sat in Eileen’s bed. "Get ready to wear the ordinary uniform," Eileen just stood there looking at Tracey as she went outside.
She locked the door to make sure that no one would suddenly burst through her room while she’s getting dressed. She went out after getting ready; she saw Tracey leaning on the wall.
"ready?" Eileen answered with a nod. "ok ! so let's go." she leads the way while eileenfollows her.
She followed her not knowing that they’re at a garden where there’s tables and chairs. She looked around and found no one.
“Oh I forgot to tell you but we’re the only ones here because they have classes.” Tracey sat on one of the chairs. “I see. So why did you bring me here?” She followed Tracey and sat too. “Oh we’re here to rest because you have to get ready for your class later.”
“Why can’t I go now?”
“We can’t”
“Why? “
“It’s still too early”
“What? Aren’t we supposed to take classes early in the morning? I knew this school was really strange.”
“In this school you can’t wake up that early.'' Tracey smirked and continued looking around.
“Did you take your first class in the evening?”
“No, of course not!”
“It’s already 4 in the afternoon. Tell me the truth.” Tracey was stunned.
“Ok fine! You caught me! You can’t. Ok. Not today. They’re still here.”
“And?”
“Ms. Cortez didn’t ask me to do this.”
“Then why are you here and talking to me?” Eileen started to feel pissed.
“I’m sorry but if you take your first class today it’s not gonna be good for you.”
“What do you mean? I can’t understand.” She looks at Tracey with confusion.
“Wait, you really don’t know? They’re Here”
“ If I know, do I have to ask you?”
“I’m confused”
“ I’m the one who has the right to say that you people are acting strange.” She stood up and started walking back.
“Wait, stop! You're not from around here aren’t you? Or you don’t have it? No, you must have it because no one that can’t make a promise will enter this school.”
“What? What promise? Why do you always say that word? Promises are meant to be broken.”
“Not the promise that you make inside this school.” It made her more confused.
“Promises are given by your parents. Promises are what you call magic.”
“Can you please just say it to me in an easy way so I can understand.”
“Your parents brought you to this school right?”
“Come with me.” Tracey leads the way.
They went to a room that kinda looks like Eileen’s.
“It’s my room”
“Listen, You can’t be here.” While walking back and forth.
“What do you mean?”
“You can’t stay in a place like this if you can’t make promises. I can’t tell what I knew” Tracey stopped and looked at her.
“I can’t understand what it is that I shouldn’t know?”
“Everything. The lesser you know the better”
“Tell me what it is?” Tracey stood there for a while.
“I can't, '' Tracey insisted and continued to walk back and forth.
“I said tell me everything” She said looking straight into her eyes.
“If I tell you, You can’t go back.” Eileen doesn't know what to do but she wants to know what’s going on.
“Why? Are they going to hold me captive? Who? Is Ms.Cortez will?” She sat on Tracey’s bed.
“No, not them.” She looks like she's scared and worried.
“Then who?”
“If you can’t make a promise--I mean magic you can’t survive this place and you look like you know nothing about magic.”
“Why do you call them promises?” She doesn't know where that information comes from, she also just met Tracey but it’s like she knows everything about her.
“Cause parents promise their children their magic.”
“What? Why don't we just call it magic?”
“Because promises are meant to be broken right?”
“Yeah so what?”
“Magic is passed on by heredity but promises on the other hand are passed on by a promise. For example if your parents have magic you can have it even if you don’t like it. Promises are made by your parents so if your parents don’t want you to have them they don’t pass you their promises.”
“But my parents don’t have promises and Do you get promises when you are born?”
“Yeah.They promise you magic when you are born.” She smiled.
“ But it’s just the same you can have them unwanted”
“But they can be broken, remember?”
“Then how?”
“Someone can break them.”
“Someone? Who?”
“ Someone that has the forbidden promise.”
“Forbidden promise?”
“Her parents promised her a magic that she can break someone's promise.” s
“Stop it. I’m not gonna fall for that. You know what I’m just going back to my room, oh I forgot and you didn’t tell me that you’re next to mine? You know what, I still have class.” I said and stood up.
“No! It’s true I’m telling the truth if you don’t believe me just don’t go outside today ok? Please.”
“And why do I have to do that?”
“Cause I don’t want to be responsible in case you went missing.” That made Eileen feel uncomfortable in that place.
She slammed the door behind her and went straight to her room. She needs to calm down. She’s too scared right now. As soon as she got into her room, she lay down on her bed and took her phone. She needed to talk to her parents.
‘She called them many times but no one answers’
She has to think of a way out of there. What that girl said made her feel sick so she decided not to attend her first class. She needs to rest, She’s too tired of thinking.
‘She falls asleep’
"hello?"
"So? How was it?" the ol man continued playing with a marble.
"..."
"Why aren't you answering?"The old man asked.
"We failed sir" He felt like someone thumped him in the back.
"I didn't expect you to fail. " The ol man threw the marble.
" We're not able to fight back sir, someone interrupted us."
"And you expect me to just accept that foolish excuse you have!? That someone must be powerful I assume." he stood up
"....."
"Answer me! Is he that good!?"
"..."
"What!? Is it that hard to answer my question!? Why can't you just admit that you're not that good at doing your tasks!?" He hung up the phone.
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
‘Someone knocks at the door’
"Come in!" He shouted.
"Boss, they said you're asking for me?"
"Go to the city and find the person who interrupted them there."
The man looked at him in the eyes that made him madder.
"They failed. Do I need to explain everything to you?" He looked at him directly in the eyes.
"No sir." The man said and left his office.
Carson remembered the earring that Tracey gave him just in case something bad might happen. He whispers her name trying to reach her and tell her that he’s been taken.Adrian found it suspicious because it’s been an hour since Tony left with Carson so he went outside to look for them but they were nowhere to be found. Adrian suddenly felt the tension and hurriedly rushed back to the cafeteria. When he got there he found Tracey talking to someone. “Hello? You hear me? What happened?” Tracey asks with worry in her voice.“Leave the academy as soon as possible.” Tracey looked at them and you can see the fear in her eyes. She can hear the panting and the tiredness of Carson’s voice. “We have to go, Adrian, let's go to the base.” They hurriedly went to Amana&rsq
Eileen sat on their table, eating the fruits that Kevin gave to her. The announcer started the event, he first welcomed the visitors then called Alastair to come up on stage. “Good evening everyone, I’m so glad to have you all this evening. I would like to thank all of you for coming. I’m so happy to welcome my granddaughter, Eileen. Please welcome! My granddaughter, Eileen!” Alastair smiled at Eileen. Kevin stood up and offered his hand, she took it and he guided her to the stage. She felt her heart thumping in nervousness, she grabbed the microphone. “Hi, everyone.” she shuttered. “I’m happy to be back.” She looked at her papa and her sister, they both smiled at her. “Honestly, I don’t know where to start, I’m prepared for the speech. I’ll just star
Eileen took a deep breath and glanced at the mirror for one more time, she’s wearing the blue dress and the black high heels that she bought. Kevin knocks on the door asking her if she’s ready. She unlocked the door and breathed, she smiled and opened the door.Kevin glanced at her and smiled, and continued talking to someone on the phone. Kevin offered his arm and assisted her going down the stairwell. Tony hugged her sister; they went to the garden to meet some guests.“They’re here!” Alastair exclaimed in joy; seeing his granddaughter in a beautiful attire. “You look gorgeous, how are you?” She’s taken aback when the lady suddenly hugged her, she smiled trying to hide the uncomfortable feeling on her face.
They went to the place where they were supposed to stay for the night. Carson looked for the owner of the place but he is nowhere to be found. They knocked so many times but no one’s answering, he paid for the place but they can’t enter.“Excuse me, Is everything alright?” a lady asked. Carson bangs the door, letting his anger out. He turned around and saw the lady, it was the lady earlier at the playground. “You’re the man earlier.” The lady said pointing at Carson, everybody was stunned.The woman took them to her home, a house with 4 rooms. The woman let them sleep there for the night. “Have some of these. I assume you guys are not from here. You should be careful if you're looking for a place to stay here, others are trying to take your money.” The lady
Carson packed some clothes that will be enough for a week, he waited until 11 in the evening and wore his jacket and went outside. He’s on a mission to find someone, he’s planning to look for Eileen that’s why he took this mission. He went straight to Amana’s office and saw them waiting. Adrian ready himself and they teleported to a basement where they usually talk about their missions. Adrian was not able to teleport to places that he had never been before, that’s one of his weaknesses. It's a basement under Adrian’s family’s house which is on an island and the only way in and out is by teleportation. They used to hangout in that place when they were in their first years, their father built that basement for both Carson and him. Now
He opened his eyes and sigh, he looked at his phone, he’s late for class. “It’s been a week.” he stood up, went to the bathroom, took a bath and wore his uniform. On his way to his class he encounters his brother with Tracey and Amana. They asked him why he’s not in his class but he just ignored them and continued on his way.Entering the classroom, everyone stares at him. The professor looks at him frowning in anger. “You’re late again Mr. Hale!” The professor exclaimed in anger. He sat on his seat, took his airpods, putting it on and closing his eyes. The professor clenched his fist.“Mr. Carson Hale. Would you please behave yourself when you’re in my class!?” Carson took his airpods off and looked at him. “I’m not doing anything w
Eileen opened her eyes and saw Kevin reading a book. She sat, Kevin put the book down and sat beside her. “Glad you’re awake.” He smiled. “What happened?” She asked, scratching her head. “Your wound started bleeding. Your grandfather was so worried that’s why we let you rest. I understand that you’re in shock, I’m really sorry for not telling you.” He explained. “Is this why you entered the school? Are you really my fiance?” She asked, frowning. “Here, wear this, your grandfather’s waiting. I’ll explain everything later.” He smiled and left her there with a simple blue dress. She wears the dress and looks at herself in the mirror. The dress fits on her well, the dress is up to her knees. Is this the time? Will she really meet her family? Will she remember everything? Or things will be worse.
Eileen asked them to find Kevin because he might know how Luke went in. They found him in his room and asked him to come back with them to Eileen’s room. They asked him if he knew anything about Luke, he said that it’s his first time hearing the name. Kevin also told them that the barrier was opened once, it was opened when they went to the island and closed afterwards. Adrian asked Amana for the lists of students, they found out that one of the students was injured before they went to the island and was not able to go with them. “What did he do to you? Did he say anything?” Tracey asked her, Eileen trembles remembering those words that Luke said to her. “What did he say?” Amana asked her again but Eileen avoided any eye contact. “Come on, you have to tell us something.” Eileen felt her head hurt. The thing she only remembers
They went to find another player, while walking Eileen accidently trip. She frowned in pain, her knee was bleeding again. Carson rushed towards her, helped her to get up. She can’t walk properly; she’s in so much pain. Carson grabbed her by her waist and helped her to stand properly, taking her underneath the tree. “ You stay here, I’ll get some help. I'll be right back I promise.” She stayed there and endured the pain. The wound is not that bad but the pain is more than usual. After minutes of waiting Carson is still not back, she can’t endure the pain anymore so she decided to go back. Using all her strength she stood up and started walking, She stumbled, her wound bleeding badly. “ Eileen!?” Someone shouted. She turned her back and saw Kevin worriedly running towards her, she sighs in relief, finally someone can help
