“Are you sure this is safe?” I whispered to Leo as Kai climbed out. He smirked. “Sure, Dedri.”

“All clear!” Kai said, as quietly as he could. “Keep your voices low and feet quiet,” Leo said as he started out the window behind Alea.

“Uhm…” I trailed off as I stared at my broken ankle and crutches. We’d each taken a small backpack and a personal belonging.

Kai had his toolkit, Alea had he...

Okay so I’m a “troubled teen”? What does that even mean? So what if I set the Pegasus stables on frost? So what if I lit that one kitsunes tails on fire? So what if I beat that stupid siren at her own song? Doesn’t mean anything. But here I am going to Camp Guantlett, a magical camp for troubled teens.

As the car pulled up to the gate I learned poked into the camp itself. A huge Centaur walked pa...

When I woke I saw Alea, Kai, and Leo playing cards on the floor.

The dorm was still in shambles, and it looked even worse in the light. Every vase, container, bottle, or light bulb had been smashed.

Every piece of furniture was broken, burned, or ripped.

All of their clothes, or what I assumed were their clothes, were now piles of ash on the floor.

I was badly impressed by how much they’d...

For Tangerine!

Love ya! ♥️

“This is stupid” I mumble from the backseat.

“Well Kiki maybe you shouldn’t have put a person that was dressed as a clown in the principles office.” My mom says sweetly.

“It was funny.” I whisper crossing my arms.

“Not to the principal who almost got a heart attack.” My mom lowers the music. “You’re only here for a five days dear. You’ll survive. It’s for your own ...

“Alright, friends!” Mr Smiles exclaimed, ruddy face as cheery as his name. “Now that we’ve all introduced ourselves, it’s time for our very first activity: a nature hike in the enchanted forest! Doesn’t that sound like fun?”

No, Issy thought, rolling her eyes. It did not. She was a siren, not a troll. Clomping around on the muddy land was definitely not her strong suit, and besides, she’d ju...

“Where have you been?” Exclaimed Alea as she ran from their dorm to hug me.

Leo explained everything, and Kai had a look of pure rage on his face. “He didn’t hurt you, did he?” He said turning to me defensively, his fists clenched.

I was taken aback. “N-no,” I responded. Kai nodded firmly and stomped back into the dorm.

Alea and Leo must’ve noticed the confused look on my face.

“He seems like he h...

I ran from Adacus like my life depended on it.

I tripped over an evergreen tree’s large root and face-plant in the dirt. The pine needles on the ground dug into my skin.

I screamed.

That wasn’t normal. Leo dragged me to the grass as I continued to cry in pain.

I struggled and cried as he pulled the needles out of my skin.

It felt like someone was repeatedly stabbing me with a knife.

He then set me...

The voices got quieter and quieter until we could no longer hear them, but we sat there in silence for a few minutes longer.

Once I was sure they were gone, I gripped the branch above me, preparing to climb down.

“Cedar, what are you doing?” Alea asked. “I’m leaving, I can’t stay at this place anymore, I’m scared, Alea.”

She gave me a sympathetic look as I jumped to a lower branch.

“Cedar, you c...

The lush green forest looked like something from a fairytale, but I didn’t get much time to admire it as Leo and I ran through the trees.

I didn’t ask questions, just ran.

Eventually, my lungs were screaming and I collapsed to the ground, my vision going blurry.

I freaked out, but eventually, my eyes cleared. I was still gasping for air, but at least I knew I was alive. Leo helped me up. “You oka...

“What’s happening?” I whispered to Leo. He was a few inches taller than me, so he had to lean over when he said “role.”

“Timothee Tramónd,” a voice said from above the main hall, a large, glittering, castle-like structure where the headmistress and other leaders lived.

I had been there yesterday to meet with them. “Leo Fartwinkle.”

Leo walked up to a large gray pole and held his wrist to a small ...
