Prologue
I leaned on my balcony rails. The sun was setting, yet again. That was all it ever seemed to do when I looked out at the sky. Then again, it wasn’t the sky’s fault. I often would simply stare at my ceiling, or be asleep. I only ever seemed to get the energy to come out this far at sunset. I had been in this catatonic state for two weeks now, and it had to stop. I shook my head hard. Tomorrow I would get back to my life and my work. Still, I found it very hard. The events of the past months had been anything but easy.
Let me first explain something: the supernatural world came out almost twenty years ago and humans are now adapted to their presence. Vampire, shape shifters, fairies, elves, and witches. Those are only the more populated species. There are other, smaller populations of creatures but I have a feeling we will never know them all unless they decide to let us know where they are. I am a witch, and my driver’s licence says so. Race: Witch. They have to have the race on it now so that officials know. My parents are both normal humans, but apparently it can skip generations so the witch blood could be anywhere in my family tree. For my two parents, Faril and Emilee Fiosa, this was a hard thing to accept. They were both wealthy. Each had their own company – my mother a cosmetics line and my father an architectural design company. They were each worth around 17 million apart. Once they accepted that nothing was wrong with me they (I assume) shrugged it off and went on with raising their daughter (me). They were slightly distant with me, but they loved me and did the best that they could. They were distant with everyone even each other. They were odd. But hey, could have been far worse. They always made it known to me that I would receive all the money and ownership of both companies, but I would have to let someone that they chose run it. I was totally fine with this since I had no interest in either makeup or architecture. I always planned of starting my own little shop that sold herbs and items that would help witches. These stores always made quite a bit of money but there were very few around. Since I had an instinctual mastery of the craft I figured it would work out for me.
Oh, and my name is Tsuki Fiosa. Just so you know. It’s weird because my parents are, but I like it.

One of My Weirdest Days......Ever.
I woke up excited. It was my eighteenth birthday. My parents, while distant, truly loved me in their own way and had promised something even I couldn’t guess. Which, of course, had had me guessing for a week now. My guesses flew from month long vacations to some sort of car. I turned to my alarm clock and found that it was only five in the morning. Oh well. Might as well get up since sleep always escaped me. When I woke up that was it, I was done sleeping. I wasn’t one of those people who could roll over and go back to sleep for another four or so hours. I never had been, and since my parents were never up before ten thirty I had become quite adept at doing early morning things quietly. I even took my showers at night before bed so that I wouldn’t wake them up in the morning. Trust me, my parents woken up before ten thirty was a scary sight and one that I never wanted to see again. So I got dressed and crept downstairs where I quietly made myself breakfast. I was blissfully happy as soon as that first sip of coffee touched my tongue. I went even more into blissdom when my toast was ready. Simple pleasures were sometimes the best. By the time it was around eight I had done everything I could think off, I had even given my panda his breakfast. Witches have familiars, and they take whatever form they want to. Mine was a panda, and as long as he was on a leash he could legally go everywhere with me. Since I feel like half of me is missing when he’s gone, I use that law to its full extent. His name was Yin. When I patted my leg he waddled over, I put him in his harness, and he shrunk down to the size of a panda cub. Familiars were just as magical as the witches they served. Plus, people aren’t as freaked out by him when he is little. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and me and Yin were off. Except for him I only had one friend. We went to school together every morning, and she lived a few blocks from me, but it might as well have been a world away. Since I never knew if she ate properly I always packed an extra lunch for her, or bought her one at school. Her name was Lara Gray, and her family were dirt poor. They only had the house as it had been left to them by their grandmother. I climbed their rickety stairs and knocked on the doors as always, and heard her customary yell out to me. I went to the base of the stairs, they didn’t have a porch so the door would hit me if I stayed. The normal clatter came and then the old door opened, and Lara stepped out, smiling as always. She was blond like me, but instead of my dirty blond/brown hair, she had beautiful golden locks. Where I had long wavy hair that I always put up into a bun, she had chin length bouncy curls. My brown eyes were the opposite of her violet ones. She was short and stocky to my all and willowy, the only feature we seemed to share is that our faces had an appealing round shape to them. People always think we look too different to be friends, but what does looks have to do with friendship? She smiled as she bounded down the stairs and rubbed Yin behind his ears. He did a panda bear version of purring and nudged her leg with his nose. That was it. Their daily bonding ritual took around 45 seconds.
“Hey Tsuki! Sorry I wasn’t ready today either. At least you always leave lots of time!” She always apologized, even though she was never ready by the time that I got there in the morning. It didn’t bother me. We started off on the short walk to school – took us about twenty minutes from her house. We chatted on the way to school as normal. Just silly teenager things. I didn’t think much of it then....but looking back, these would be the moments I treasured, and the moments I cried for when I could no longer remember then clearly.
____________
School was a normal affair. Dull, and filled with stuff we would never need to know unless we went into one of those highly skilled, reserved for geniuses trades. Like a rocket scientist or something. Still, all in all it went well. I had been right that day, Lara didn’t have a lunch. We had successfully made it to the last period of the day – math class. It was the only class we had together, and Lara loved math. I enjoyed it only due to the fact that we had it together and I was good at it. It was overcast by then, the sky full of clouds, and you could barely tell it was still daylight outside. Yin was sound asleep, and wouldn’t get up until the bell rang to signal the end of the day. Maybe if I hadn’t trained him to sleep until the bell rang, the day might have gone differently. We might have gotten home without anything happening to us, and continue our lives as teenagers. But we didn’t, and that day did happen. It was over almost before it began really. There was a loud smash in the room next to us, which wasn’t being used. All of us jumped, and then settled into the chatter of “What was that?” and “Did a tree hit the window?” No one suspected what it really was until it was too late. The door of our classroom was flung open, and a blur came in. Well, the door was more ripped off its hinges, but at the time I didn’t care. The first few students who were attacked didn’t even get a chance to scream before they fell. All I could see was the blood flowing from their necks, and all I could hear was Lara’s scared whisper.
“Are they dead?” I didn’t know, and I found I couldn’t speak. Soon the blur began moving around the room, and we all understood what it was – a vampire. It must have been one with the day walking talent. We all began screaming, and it moved faster, mowing a bloody path straight through us. The teacher – Ms. Williams – tried to fight it off, to give us some time to run, but she never stood a chance. It didn’t even bother biting her, it just ripped her head off. Then it just continued ripping, biting, and the blood. Soon all I could see was the blood since it was everywhere, like I was standing in an ocean of it. I looked at Yin, who looked back up at me. Something was wrong with him...then I realized the vampire had Yin’s neck in his claws – yes the vampire was a male, I could see that clearly now that it had stopped moving. I had fainted I realized. Now Yin was in danger. I started crying, the wet tears mixing with the blood over my face....blood? I reached and felt my face and neck. There was a huge gash in my neck, and as I noticed it, I felt the pain and realized I was indeed having trouble breathing. Yin was the same. Then the vampire made the mistake of letting Yin go. Even wounded, a familiar is a type of spirit demon, and something to be feared. As the vampire leaned towards me to, I assume, finish me off, Yin changed size. He became a panda the size of a horse, his teeth turned sharp, and his claws lethal demon claws. He lunged at the vampire, and in a few quick moments tore it to shreds. I heard screaming from students in the hallway, and I realized something. Yin had woken from a coma like sleep at he sound of the school bell, just like he was supposed to. He may not have saved us from injury, but because he did wake up, he had saved our lives. He shrunk again and nuzzled my face, making his distressed sound. I tried to smile, but found my self too weak to do so. The world went black again.
__________________
I heard voices. A couple sounded panicked, and the rest sounded calm and sure. Where was I? Why was I in the dark? I heard Yin grunt beside me and realized I must have my eyes closed. Well, that makes sense. I slowly opened my eyes, and was blinded by the bight ceiling light. Slamming my eyes closed, I opened them even more carefully the second time now that I knew what was coming. This time I opened my eyes without being blinded, and I looked around. I was in a hospital bed, with Yin beside me. He was sleeping, they must have given him a tranquilizer. I put my hand on his head, even though movie my arm kind of hurt. I wanted to be connected to him more than I wanted to be pain free, so I ignored the pain. Then my eyes focused on the area around my bed. My parents were talking to a nurse and a doctor by my door, none of them had seen me wake up I guess. The room itself was a standard hospital room; I even had a room mate. I looked at her face closer, since the curtain between us wasn’t drawn. Lying beside me was a girl from my math class. I had no idea what her name was as she was so shy, and this struck me as horrible. I should know her name shouldn’t I? It was then that I heard the nurse.
“She’s awake, and I realize you are very worried parents but I need to look at her. You may have the doctor for two more minutes, and then he must tend to his patient.” The nurse was a lightly overweight woman, who seemed to be in her early forties. She had a grandmotherly air at the same time as having the air of an army commander. You knew just from looking at her that she could be sweet and caring, but she would bulldoze you down if you tried to stand in her way. And that is exactly what she did to my parents. They tried to stop her, and she just shoved them aside. I had no doubt that the doctor wouldn’t dare disobey her and be over two minutes long with them.
