Chapter 14

You know those days, the ones that stay with you for the rest of your life, for all different types of reasons. Days such as watching your father being murdered before you very eyes, the day you fell in love or the day you were shot taking down your father’s murderer. Well, today is one of those days.

It’s Wednesday morning and I sit in Ms. Peterson’s office with a worried Miss. Layton, our Guidance counsellor and all-around Barbie, who, I might add, has an everlasting and extremely frustrating crush on Rylan. Anyway, that’s beside the point. I sit here before these two women, after being called out of class with absolutely no clue what’s going on.

“Bianca,” Ms. Peterson starts. “I have asked you here as I have received some exciting news from The High Council member, in regards to the meeting you had with them following the examinations.”

“Ok…,” I say, slightly confused with my eyes flicking towards Miss. Layton as I wonder why she needs to be here for this. I mean, she said it was exciting news right? That means it’s got to be good.

“Ah, Miss. Layton, of course,” Ms. Peterson says as she notices my confusion. “I’ve asked her to join in case you have anything you’d like to talk about afterward,” she says as dread begins to fill me.

“Right,” I say slowly.

“Anyway, we best get on with it so you can return to class,” she says. “I have received a letter from The Council explaining in great detail what’s going on, they have also enclosed this letter addressed to you which I’m sure will outline everything there is to know,” she says with a smile, handing the letter over.

I look down at the letter which holds my fate in distaste as a bad feeling settles over me, and that’s the moment I knew today would be one of those days I’ll never forget.

“Well, go ahead dear. Open it up,” Ms. Peterson encourages.

I flip the envelope over, slipping my thumb under the tap and open it up.

I pull the letter out and unfold it with shaky hands.
