Chapter 1
Luz didn't want to think back to earlier. She didn't want to think that just trying to get her friends attention could cause this. Why did it have to come to this? She pulled one of her blankets over her head so she could wallow in self sorrow. It's not like she could do anything about it now, she was in her carriage already on the way to the Princess Reform School her mom was sending her to. The only thing she could do now would be to just sleep until she got there, so that's what she did.
She didn't wake up until an unknown amount of time later. All she knew was that she was hearing a lot of rummaging around her. She wondered if the guards had decided to take a break and were just being noisy. She could understand, they were walking on foot and it's over a days travel to get there. She decided to ignore them and try to go back to sleep. She only had her eyes closed for about two minutes when the blanket was suddenly ripped off of her head.
She stared, face to face with a small black fuzzball with what she assumed was a skull on it's head. Both of their eyes simultaneously widened right before Luz curled herself in a ball and screamed as loud as she could. Right after she heard the small black thing in front of her scream too.
"Dang it King! What did you do now?" Another voice came from outside of the carriage and Luz looked just in time to see a tall lady with lots of hair in different shades of gray and gold eyes, along with what looks like a gold tooth. Her eyes had to open even wider when the woman looked at her. She stayed frozen and could only watch as the woman sighed and shook her head.
"Of course this would happen. It was supposed to be a quick job." She then looked back to the little black thing that was still next to her and shrugged her shoulders.
"King use the stuff."
"What are you...?" Before she could finish she found her eyes starting to close, and it was getting extremely hard to keep talking. She knew she couldn't fight it so she just let herself pass out.
