Description
The academy had four rules: 1. Trust your family. 2. Family is a choice. 3. Family first, Academy second 4. When your family can't be there for you, the Academy will. I, Ariana Elpis Sorensen, daughter of the Blackbourne Team, despise the Academy. The very organization that made those rules, broke them. It became corrupt under the reign of greedy souls. It wasn't always like that. There was a time where it actually did the opposite. It's how my parents met. But nothing gold ever stays, as Robert Frost once put it. Ever since I was young, I had always liked to sit back and blend in with the chaos that surrounded me. As time passed, I had grown aware of the way my siblings had flaunted their talents to the Academy so that they would make Mom and our dads proud. My heart shattered in one night in ways I wish not on anyone else. They had a family meeting without me. It wasn't the first time, either. What had made this worse than any other time was what I overheard them discussing. The issue of me. I had shown no talent. I wasn't beneficial to their precious Academy. They were going to send me to live with Aunt Jess. Even my best friend wanted me gone. My big brother, who I'd admired for as long as I remembered, my partner in crime, wanted me to leave. So, I did. I ran away that night. I ran away to a friend who I met when he texted the wrong number years ago, Scott McCall. I was 12 and it was hard to get there, but I did safely. Through him, I met Stiles Stilinski, the guy I grew to love in secret. After all he had his eyes on Lydia. I would never compare. Little did I know how much our lives would change when we go out on an adventure in the woods at night...
