[b][u][center]CLOSED[/center][/u][/b] Welcome to the city of Haleton. It is a relatively small community,. The city holds a school, a movie theater, 3 sandwich shops, and 1 shopping center. However, beneath this normal facade lies a much more powerful secret. In this town, there are those with mystical powers. They are all taught by one person, Ms. Galeyard who they meet with after finishing their regular schooling. With Ms. Galeyard's help, these young witches will grow in power and soon be able to help others on their own. Or maybe they want to use their powers for another reason? Whichever way it may be, keeping their powers a secret is difficult enough. While trying to develop their powers, they have to keep up their regular life and avoid being detected by Witch Hunters, who have discovered a few witches careless enough to get caught. This is the story of the Gifted Ones. This is how it begins... --- The storm rages on outside, the rain assaulting the window. Lightning cracks, startling the girl sleeping. She breathes deeply, glancing around nervously. She always hated storms, mostly due to the loud and constant noise. She glanced towards her light switch which suddenly flipped itself into the on position. She rolled out of bed groggily and proceeded to the bathroom. Shutting the door automatically behind her. After a few moments, a toilet flush echoed through the house. She never understood why everything seemed like it made so much more noise at night. She stood up, glancing at this side of the door. As she did, her whole body went cold. A crimson liquid, still fresh, dripped down the door. It was painted on in the form of a word. Just one word: Witch. She glanced around quickly, checking the shower and cabinets for an intruder. She gulped, slowly opening the door, ready with her magic. The girl peeks out, checking the hallway. She tiptoed to her room, the feeling of being watched washed over her body. As she backed up to the far corner of her room, she glanced around. No one was here, but they were in her house. She quickly began to unlock the window. As she finally unlocked it, and began to slide it up. Lightning illuminated the sky and then she saw him. His reflection on the window. He was unmasked, not that it mattered. Within a split second, she turned to confront him and instead she felt a cold sting hit her in the chest. It was a numb feeling, but she knew she was in pain. She slowly looked down and saw the knife in her chest. She looked up, as if asking why, before she collapsed to the ground. The man glanced around and picked up the body. The police would think she was just another teen runaway. That's what they would tell her school, her parents, and anyone who asked. The witches were going to burn. --- [u]Rules[/u] [*]No godmodding.[/*] [*]Keep it clean.
