Chapter 4
You guys are definitely going to have the best time of your life in boarding class “ mom reminded me as she walked towards Sophia and I .
Sophia and I were seated on the chair waiting for her approval for us to leave .
After celebrating my birthday two weeks ago ? My school suddenly announced a sudden boarding house policy and not only were we going to be taking classes in an entirely different state, we aren’t going to return till the next five months , and passing the classes meant that we could now choose the university that we wanted to attend without any stress .
This was exactly what I needed , to be away from this house and all the weird stuff that had been happening in it .
My birthday party wasn’t celebrated as mom had promised , she and my step dad had left that day .
No matter what My mom will say , I knew there was always a lie with whatever she had going on .
I didn’t know why she couldn’t just let me be , she didn’t talk to me and the last thing , I haven’t spoken to my step dad and since my mom and him are always on trips it made it easier for me .
“ It's just five months and I know that you are so happy that I am not going to be there , but I don’t want your step brother's complaints about you , please promise me that you are going to be on your best behavior and act like family when you get there .
Stepbrothers , the words rang in my head like it was some kind of terror , from what I had gathered they weren’t going so why did they have to attend again , why did they have to .
This was their plan all along , ruining me , they were going to make me see hell in that camp without me having anyone to run to .
Sophia rubbed my hands and that brought me back to consciousness .
“ Chase and Ryder had promised to take good care of you , so enjoy camping with them “
I swallowed the lump on my throat as I reluctantly nodded my head to my mom words with that feeling of helplessness eating deep inside of me , regardless of what it might be , I was scared of being alone with them , the past few year with them had been terror and not only that they have been on my necks since the first day I stepped my legs on the school building apart from the fact that they hated me .
We should be going now , my mom is literally waiting .
“ Take care honey , I love you bye .
I just waved to my mother as I walked out of the house with a heavy heart .
I don’t get it Serena , stop being scared and happy, I am here for you and most importantly we are going to be sharing the same dorms so throw that fear away , you are mine .
I nodded my head as we both walked out .
Once I saw Sophia mom , I ran to hug her. I love this woman so much , she was more than a mother to me .
“ Well, since you girls are ready , I think that we should leave and your brothers are going to meet you up there .
Sophia and I just smiled and I got into the car, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life alone .

“WELCOME TO RAVEN WITCH ACADEMY “
That was the first thing that caught my attention as we got to the school , a sudden surge of energy hit as we drone in and the next thing that I could feel in my head was a bang , I was having this flashback .
I groaned silently and Sophia handed me the water she had with her and I took it without any questions .
“ thank you “ I mouthed to her as I came out of the car .
Since it we arrived in the evening , I could see almost everything that was around , the first thing that caught my attention was the big animal standing on top of something and roaring loudly towards the moon and around it was a waterfall , this had to be the most beautiful sight that I had ever seen , but what was that animal ?.
“ We have to go in, baby , my mom is leaving “ Sophia's voice broke me out of my thoughts .
Sophia seems calm compared to me , she didn’t seem like the place was weird and was comfortable with it .
As her mom drove away she dragged our bags in .
This whole place was giving this weird odd vibes that I couldn’t understand , the buildings seemed old but authentic and new , I didn’t know why I was feeling so weird about it .
“ Come on , I have been here before and I literally failed the class that is the only reason why I am here so stop thinking that there’s anything more to this , I can assure you that there’s nothing more .
And if you are wondering why they have an animal as their symbol , just know that , this school has something for dogs that is the founder , I am pretty sure you are going to love it here because this is where you truly belong .
“ truly belong “
The words got struck in my head , what the fuck was she talking about ?” But regardless of my worries , I knew that I had to trust her .
This was going to be my first night without my step brothers in the same building as me and I was breathing a good sign of reality .
I just wanted to be away , I think raven witch academy is the best place for me .
