Mage's Realm, Hannah Sixx [good books for 8th graders TXT] 📗

And there he stood by my side. The person I cared most about. Protecting me to the very end. I was in a cage of fire and my savoir was holding me as close as possible. He was growing weaker and the only question now is, how do we get out?

What do you do when you have nothing left? Where do you go when you have no place to live? When life has dropped a bomb on you? I haven't anyone to talk to. They are all gone. All my family, friends and even Andrew. He was my best friend. We did everything together. Now him and everyone I cared about was dead. Were am i suppose to go from here?

I slid down the wall of the dark alley and hung my head.
"What am I going to do?" I whispered to myself.
How am I going to go on? Should I go on? May be I should end myself here and now. No, Andrew wouldn't want me to do that. I have to move on, but to where? Should I just walk until I can't walk anymore? May be thats the best way to go. No one else is left here for me. Shralo is dead to me now. I got up and put my cloak on. I walked down the dark road. I continued walking for many days. I had no food and no water. I finally passed out.
When I woke I was in a large room. I sat up and examined the room. There were 3 beds, the walls were light purple with a white floral design on them, and there was cream carpet. The furniture was all wood and the room smelled of smoke and blood. I was about to get up and explore the room more when I heard foot steps. I scooted back up into the bed and listened to the foot steps. They were coming closer. I waited for them to pass, but instead the door flung open.
There was 2 girls. One had silver hair that went to about her belly button, was pale and and had red eyes. The other had ginger hair that was just above her shoulders, green eyes, and wore a hat that bent over with a cresent moon on the end.
"Your awake," said the ginger.
"You slepted forever..." said the pale one.
"Be nice Maura," said the ginger, "she has had a long journey."
Muara roled her eyes at the ginger.
"My name is Lekty, whats yours" the ginger asked.
"I'm Holo," I replied.
"Hello Holo," Lekty said smiling as she nudged Maura.
"Yeah Hi," Maura said uncaring.
I half smiled then looked around the room.
"This is Adalentis," Lekty explained, "the house we and a few more live in. You are welcome to stay if you have no where else to go."
I smiled and replied "Thank you."
"You must be hungry," Maura said, "I know I am."
"Maura," Lekty said as she turned towards her, "she is not one for you to feast on."
Maura looked at me with disapointment then turned around and left the room.
"Come Holo," Lekty said, "Let us go eat."
I nodded and followed her down the stairs of the huge house. I saw many other beings in the house. Angels, Dark Angels, Half Demons, and a few that even looked human. I was looking around in fasination. I had never saw so many unhuman beings in one spot in my whole life. Lekty turned around and smiled at me as she saw me gaze around the room.
"Neat huh?" She asked.
I smiled and nodded at her in a amazement then added, "Can i meet them?"
"Of course," she said smiling, "after you eat though."
When we got to the kitchen there was food already waiting for me. I sat down and Lekty pushed it toward me. I ate as polietly as I could for being starving. It didn't help that i was excited about meeting everyone in the house.

Lekty gathered everyone in the overly sized living room.
"This is Holo," Lekty said to everyone, "she will be staying with us in the Adalentis."
Every one started to whisper among themselves. Lekty started to gather everyones attention again. Then walked over to the first in line and motioned me over. She walked me through everyones names and what they were. First was Rain. Rain was a wolf demon. She has black hair down below her boobs, black ears with white tips and teal eyes. Clea was next. She was a dark angel with blue black hair down passed to her butt a bit, rugged black wings and blue eyes. Next to Clea was Taela. She was a cat demon with blonde hair down to the middle of her back, black ears and blue eyes. Neaveh was an angel with very pale pink hair almost to her ankles, elegant white wings, and brown eyes. Next came the boys starting with Erik. Erik was a cat demon with white and black hair, black ears, and blue eyes. Next to Erik stood Iolaus. Iolaus was a dragon master with ear length brown hair, he had brown eyes and a thin dragon tattoo from, what it looked like, his arm pit all the way to the middle of his cheek. Ciel was a modern day knight from what i could tell. He was skill with his magical swords. He had black hair and pale blue eyes.
We got the the end of the line but Lekty look confused. Like she was looking for someone.
"Where did he go?" Lekty whispered to herself, "I just saw him..."
She looked back at everyone and thanked them for their time. They all scattered back to what they were doing. She looked at me then looked at the ledge of the loft up above. She started walking up the stairs and I followed her like a lost puppy. As we walked up the stairs I watched Lekty, with a very concentrated look on her face, mumble to herself.
When we got up stairs I saw a boy in black faced towards the wall listening to music. Lekty saw him shook her head then walked over to him. She put her hand on his shoulder and he turned his head towards her, but not enough that i could see. She was talking to him quietly and he obviously didn't want to hear it until she said something that caught his attention. He hopped up and Lekty moved out of the way. He stared at me with a gental face and I stared at him in disbelief. There was Andrew. I was unbelievely shoked to see him. I had thought he was incinerated with my parents. I started to cry. Andrew walked over to me and threw his arms around me.

"I thought I lost you," he said quietly in my ear.
"I thought I lost you too," I replied.
He backed up and slightly smiled. I smiled back and sheaded a few more tears. Andrew looked back to Lekty and closed his eyes, look a deep breath and let it out slowly. He looked back at me and grabbed my hand. He started pulling me back down the many stairs I had just walked up. When we got down stairs, everyone staring at the new girl holding hands with the quiet loner, he pulled me down a hallway.
"Close your eyes," he said.
"Why?" i asked.
"Just trust me," he said sweetly.
I closed my eyes and he led me to the end of the hallway. He let go of my hand and felt a breeze. He took a hold of my hand once again and led me further out.
"Open your eyes," he said.
I opened my eyes to see a beautiful scenery with a tree house exactly like Andrew's and mine that we use to play in as kids. My eyes widend and i gasped quietly.
"Oh my..." i started.
"You like it?" he asked.
"Like it?" i asked, "I love it!"
"I built it with my own two hands," he started, " just for you."
I smiled and sheaded a couple tears. Andrew leaned over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head on his shoulder. He pulled pulled away and walked towards the tree house.
"This way," he said, "my lady."
I climbed up the ladder of the tree house, Andrew following. He sat down in the corner and I looked around amazed. I felt like I was in Shralo again. Playing in the tree house with Andrew and coming up with new ways to freak people out with Andrew's ears and our magic.
When I looked back at Andrew he looked as if he were in a deep thought. I walked over to him in the corner, sat down next to him, and layed my head on his shoulder. We both dozed off and slepted in the tree house that night.

"Holo?" asked a voice "You up there?"
Andrew woke up to the voice, and not knowing I was already awake, answered before me with his best impression of me, "Yeah I'm here"
"That is so not how I sound," I said laughing.
Andrew looked at me and laughed too.
Can you come here?" the voice asked.
"Yep," I said, "I'm coming."
I stood up and went down the ladder
