Chapter One

The bedroom door slammed before I could reach it. My eighteenth birthday was not turning into the day I’d hoped it would. If I had to kick down the door to escape, Earth help me, I would.

“Can I ask…” I shouted through the wood. “…why you are keeping me prisoner?”

A grunt from my foster father was followed by a throat clearing from the woman who was supposed to take care of me. Her attempt at being my foster mother had been careless to say the least. I would not be leaving her a five star review once I escaped from the four walls that had trapped me for five years.

“My dear,” she started, her sickly sweet tone making me cringe. “You may have come of age, but we need you here. You’ve become invaluable to us.”

“Don’t tell her that we’ve offered her to the institution.” Barry’s voice was low, but I heard every single disgusting word.

How dare they use my power to gain notoriety, and probably money, for themselves?

Thrusting away from the door, I glanced around my room. I had been waiting for the day that I could escape foster care and start my life. Today was supposed to be that day.

“You don’t need to go to any academy, dear, you’re safer here!”

Resisting the urge to break down the door with my magic, I grabbed my bag and headed for the window. I had got the offer from the Undercover Witch Academy two days ago. It had been the one I was waiting for, the academy I had to attend.

“I’m sorry,” I muttered to my pet stick insects as I thrust open the window and threw my bag to the ground below. “It’s time for me to go!”

The ground was two stories down… great, I would have to find a way to get to the grass without breaking a leg. Snapping a bone would hinder my escape, meaning that I would be shipped off to the institute within hours.

It would be easy to mistake me for a schoolgirl, climbing out of her bedroom window, and yet, I was old enough to leave home and attend a university. Why did I always find myself in these bogus situations?

“Alishia, if you don’t reply, we’re coming in!” my foster father shouted.

Climbing out of the window as the lock clicked, I grasped hold of the ledge and jumped. Whispering a feather spell as I plummeted towards the lawn, I clenched my hands into fists and hoped for the best. My stomach almost touched my throat as I headed for the ground. Just as I was about to hit, my body calmed to a slow descent, the air around me making me weightless.

“That was close,” I whispered to myself as my feet touched the soft grass.
