Okay, I know it doesn't sound very magic-like right now, but it is. PLEASE REVEIW!!! I NEED THE COMMENTS!!!!
Matt looked out the window at the setting sun with a sigh. Tomorrow was the first day of school, and he still had to write two essays and do five pages of math. He sighed again and looked around his dorm room. It was boring, a single bed, a bookcase filled with books of multiple genres, and a picture of Twilight. Matt didn't like to admit it, but Twilight was his favorite book. Edward stood with his arms wrapped around Bella, staring protectively; Carlisle had his hands on Esme's shoulders, Emmet stood with his arms folded; Rosalie glared a death stare; Alice had a large smile; Jasper stood was in the back with a distant look. Matt always wondered why Jasper was in the back. It might be that he was different, but he was accepted in the family, so wouldn't he be standing closer, or at least holding hands with Alice? Matt wished that he had a Bella. He didn't care if she was some blood-sucking demon; at least he had someone who would love him unconditionally.
He sighed once more and looked out over the grounds towards the rose garden. It was a small maze of rose bushes, stone benches placed at random intervals, and at the very center, a water fountain of a beautiful mermaid with the saddest look Matt had ever seen. Maybe walking in the maze would help him think, then he would get right back to his homework.
Matt stepped out into the cool evening air, the smell of wet grass and roses thick. He set off towards the rose garden at a quick pace, for reasons unknown. He weaved through the maze until he came to the very center, where he sat down upon the side of the stone fountain, thinking. He glanced towards the dark, menacing woods that surrounded the grounds. The boys weren't allowed in the woods, especially after those two boys had disappeared into them. Why they would want to go in there was a mystery to Matt; it was filled with dangerous creatures like wolves and bears.
Matt glanced towards the school and saw a figure coming towards him. Oh crap! he thought. The sun's set and we're not allowed out here after dark! I'll get in so much trouble and school hasn't even started yet! He looked around and quickly darted behind some bushes.
He peered out from behind the branches and saw that it was Headmaster O'Neil. The Headmaster wore a three-piece suit and his grey hair stood in puffs around his head. His crooked nose was peeling and his skin hung limply on his face like an over grown coat. The Headmaster sat down on the fountain with his back towards Matt. He pulled out a pocket watch, looked at it, then placed it back in his pocket.
Movement out of the corner of Matt's eye made him turn to look at it. Two dark figures pulled themselves from the shadows of the woods and glided towards the Headmaster, feet seeming to not touch the ground. As they approached Matt saw by the curves of their bodies that it was two women--no, now that he looked closer, it was two girls, girls that couldn't be much older than him.
The two figures stopped in front of the Headmaster and, at that very moment, the full moon broke through the clouds to illuminate their features. Matt gasped in surprise.
The girl who seemed to be the leader of the two was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Her wavy red hair cascaded down like a waterfall to her shoulders and her piercing eyes were the color of moss. Her pale, flawless skin radiated in the moonlight and her soft lips were the color of blood. Even though it was a cool night, she wore a green tank top, capri jeans and no shoes. When Matt saw her, he wanted to run towards her and away from her at the same exact time.
Her companion had jet-black hair that hung down to her waist and grey eyes. Her mouth was set in a hard line that looked as though it had been carved out of stone. She wore a black t-shirt and black jeans and stood next to her leader like a protector, a guardian.
As the two stood, looming over the brittle Headmaster, they cast an aura of someone who was not to be trifled with. It reminded Matt of beauty before death, like the beauty of a black cobra rearing back before sinking it's deadly teeth into its prey.
"Well?" said the beautiful red-haired girl. Her voice sounded like the last fading note played on a piano. "Is it done?"
"Yes." The Headmaster's creaky voice cut through the night air, making him wince. "And what of the boys?"
"They have been...taken care of."
Matt saw the red-hair girl's tongue flicker over her pearl-white teeth.
"I hope you didn't hurt them."
The red-haired girl leaned down towards the old man, her lips an inch away from his, green eyes blazing madly.
"Listen to me, you idiot. Those two were planning to kill you and massacre the whole school. Do you really think that they should have lived? Would you rather they killed over a hundred? You should be glad their dead. You should thank me for killing them. I did you a favor."
A scream climbed up Matt's throat, but he forced it down. He was in the presence of a murderer! The Headmaster had those two boys killed! He must have found out what they were planning, but instead of turning them into the police, he hired two hit men! Shivers rattled Matt's body, and cold sweat poured down his face.
"Th-thank you."
The girl smiled and patted his face. "That's right. That's why, in return, I had you do us that favor. And you better have, because I can just as easily carry out those boys plans, and, believe me, it won't be as merciful."
The Headmaster held up his hands. "No, no! I promise you! I did it! I got you in! I promise! Just don't hurt me!"
The girl smirked and straightened up. She looked at the dark girl and jerked her head towards the Headmaster. The dark girl crouched down in front of the Headmaster. For a second, it looked as though she was looking at Matt, but then she stared deep into the Headmaster's eyes, unblinking. They sat like that for many minutes before the girl said, "You will return to the school. You will act completely normal. You were out here for a stroll in the moonlight. You do not remember us one bit."
The dark girl stood up and both girls went across the grounds, melting into the shadows of the woods.
The Headmaster sat there for another minute before finally blinking. He shook his head, looked around, and smiled.
"Why, it's a beautiful night out here, don't you think my darling?" he said to the mermaid. She gave him a sad look in return.
A wind shook the branches of the near by trees. The Headmaster shivered, then headed back inside.
Matt realized that his lungs were crying for oxygen and he loudly gulped for air. He climbed out of the bush, dusted leaves off of him, then flopped down at the fountain. He sighed, overwhelmed at what he just saw. He glanced at the trees where the girls had disappeared, terrified that they might reappear and hurt him, but the night stayed unmoving. Matt's vision blurred, and he felt very tired, even though adrenaline still coursed through his veins. His eyes slowly drifted shut.
An owl drifted overhead, it's lone call piercing the still night.
Well? Do you like it? I don't care if you hated it or only read one paragraph, please respond!
