Chapter 3

I wake up quickly. My door is open, and I can tell the shifters and vampires are wandering around hungry because they’re surly and running into everything including each other.

“Fae off,” one of the shifters grunts.

A vampire hisses. “Pixies me off we have to share with the beasts.”

“Calm down,” Blist says in his smooth voice.

I smile. I love waking up to the sound of his voice.

He peeks in and sees I’m awake. He jogs over as I say the spell that provides the meat platters and warm mugs of blood.

“Respect,” everyone say in unison.

“How are you?” Blist says.

I sit up. “How is it that you always look like that?”

He looks down at himself. “Like what?”

“So good.”

He blushes. “Aw. I think Zalia likes me.”

A few of the shifters throw something at him.

“Go eat,” I say, as I squint at the artificial sunlight streaming into my room.

“You sure?”

I nod, still yawning.

He grins which makes my heart beat that much faster and at least gets me awake.

I lumber out of bed and throw myself into the bathroom. I look at the mirror. Since the curses, I always look the same. Sucks I’ll actually have to start doing my hair and makeup once the curses are gone. Worth it though. Being able to kiss Blist. I shiver just thinking of it.

By the time I’m out of the shower and ready with yet another uniform of white and white, the vampires are napping on the couches and chairs. They don’t have classes til early afternoon. Most of the shifters are already gone except for Blist who’s talking with a younger shifter.

“Hey, Zalia,” the young shifter says, who can’t be more than eight. “So cool you’re a witch.”

“A good witch.” Blist smiles at the boy and then back at me. “Remember what we talked about.”

The boy nods and smiles but doesn’t take his eyes off me.

“Okay,” Blist taps at his watch. “Best get to class.”

The boy nods and trips over his backpack on the way out.

“Someone has a crush.”

I nod. “We’re in love. Wanted to tell you last night, but I was too tired. It’ll be a spring wedding the moment he’s of age.” I put my hand over my heart. “I hope he waits for me.”

Blist shakes his head. “You’ve been around Xury too long.”

For the next three weeks, everything was as normal as it can be in my life. Blist and I went to class. We met with Xury when she wasn’t involved with pixie politics. I fed the shifters, pixies and vampires with my spells. Blist and I studied at night, and I spent weeknights alternating between studying and watching him sleep. He, I guess, did the same on the weekends.

At the Academy, we don’t have holidays. We go to school every weekday, study on the weekends and do so until the quarter ends. The next quarter begins the very next day. No one gets sick since powerful witches constantly spell the Academy against disease and illness. We don’t take part in
