Aphmau POV

I stared nervously at the house in front of me, I never been here in a year and everything seemed to look like the same way it was before I left. Aaron and Jason helped load in my luggage inside the house. I was going to miss them so much, they became like my close older, overprotective brothers that was always there for me. I was sad that they were going to be separated for me, I tried persuading them to stay with me, but they responded by saying it's for my safety which I found really stupid.

I walked inside the house inspecting everything inside, nothing seemed crooked, worn or ruined. Everything was perfect, like someone has been taking care of my house, I walked into the kitchen to check the food, even the food was up to date and fresh. It makes me happy that someone took care of this place.

"Aphmau we have to go." Aaron said making me look at him sadly.

I knew that I couldn't do nothing to stop them from leaving. "Can You at least call me a few times, when you have the time to." I gave a puppy dog face, it was a risk of calling them or them calling me, we could get caught.

"Fine." He rolled his eyes playfully shooting me a huge smile.

"Group hug?" I spreads my arms wide open for them to hug me.

Jason and Aaron tackled me into a bear hug, I hugged them tightly towards me never wanting them to leave me. For vampires, they really do have big hearts. I spilled a few tears, but Jason wiped them away.

"Take care!" Jason waved walking out of the door.

"And don't do anything reckless!" Aaron added making me chuckle.

"Don't worry I won't." My voice cracked, I'm really going to miss them.

I followed them out giving them individually a small hug before waving them off as they drove off.

I walked inside my bedroom that looked completely the same. I plopped down on my bed staring at the ceiling. Tomorrow was my first day of school, again. It was my last year of school till I go to college, if I go to college. With everything going on, I don't know if I'm going to college anymore. Tomorrow was also the day that I properly reunite with my old friends who are still dearly close to me, knowing that I have no chance with Laurance anymore, I still hope that we could be friends, but what I don't know is if could hold myself together when I see them or Laurance being with another girl,

I also remembered that it was still my birthday today and I was supposed to get my powers, but I don't feel anything. I keep thinking how my life be if I never went Phoenix Drop high and I went to another school. My Mum would be alive, I wouldn't have died and became enemies with a witch who is still out to get me and I would never ever known of my powers or the supernatural, or my friends and Laurance. My life would be normal.

As I was about release my eyes to the darkness a sudden pain shot through my chest, making me clutch my chest in pain, I squeezed my eyes closed. My hands felt like they were repeatedly getting electrocuted and my feet felt like they were getting shot with a gun. I banged my head against the bed as wave of nausea hit me hard. I couldn't bare this pain, this was even worst than getting my neck snapped and dying. I screamed out in pain as I was immediately released into the darkness.

I woke up bright and early in the morning. It felt like nothing of last night happened, I felt fresh and new. I yawned and stretched my arms enthusiastically. The bright morning sun shone past the gap in the curtains shining light in the room. It was seven O'clock in the morning, I just has enough time to get ready and have a quick shower.

I walked into my bathroom, missing how if felt to shower in my own luxury. I looked at myself in the mirror for what seemed like forever. I had beautiful green eyes instead of my hazel ones, just like Aaron said. My green eyes matched with my now- platinum hair which goes well together, I looked different, but if I was someone else I would definitely would be able to recognise myself.

I had a quick shower with my favourite body wash and shampoo which smelt like Yasmin, cyclamen and roses, I missed that smell.

I wrapped my fuzzy towel around my body walking out of the bathroom with my slippers on my cold feet. I wondered through my walk-in closet deciding what outfit would be the best for returning after a whole year after a mysterious disappearance. I decided to wear a blue and white romper to go with the beautiful summery weather, along with white vans. My necklace that my grandma gifted went well with the outfit, maybe I can find something of my mothers to remember her by. I left my hair waving down in its natural curls, I grabbed my same leather bag from last year and skipped happily downstairs hungry for breakfast.

I was about to ask my mum for breakfast, but then I remembered that she wasn't here anymore and I needed to rely myself on doing these stuff. I made a quick bowl of cereal since I didn't have that much time left for school.

I washed the bowl and cleaned everything up, just as I was about to leave I saw something on the counter, it was my grandma's diary. I smiled, I thought I lost it. I looked everywhere for it and it was here this whole time, how did it end up here?

I putted it in my bag for now and ran out of the door closing the door behind me. Phoenix Drop seemed happy for some reason, as if something made this place brighten up.

People were walking here and there happily, they took a look at me and studied me. I walked faster not before noticing there shocked expressions. What it with them?

I arrived at school, it felt like the first day of school all over again. People stared at me judging me by my looks, exactly the same like on the first except they looked friendly after they took a good look at me. I carried on walking, taking long confident strides inside the school. I made it to the school office, I don't know if I have the same locker as last year or if I'm in the same homeroom. I opened the office door, immediately met by Hyria who looked gloomily at her computer, stressed out of her mind.

She looked up to see who entered the room, once she looked at me, she squinted her eyes at me before jumping out of her seat. She ran across the counter and engulfed me in a heart-filled hug.

"Aphmau, Irene where have you been?" I hugged her back comforting her as I felt a few tear spill on my shoulder.

She looked at me holding my arms. "My, you have changed. Love the new hair style." She complemented making me chuckle. Hyria was one of the main people I missed the most, we became close at the times we hanged about, she was like my second mother.

"I missed you so much." I managed to utter, I was afraid if I spoke more I would be sobbing full on out. She gave me another quick hug wiping her tears.

"You, young lady. Don't think you're off the hook, you have a whole lot of explaining  to do." I used to tell everything to Hyria, she even knows that Laurance and my friends are vampires and witches, we talked over the phone as well. But we lost contact.

"Here is your stuff, and please. Don't leave me again and have a good day. You made my day  brighten a whole lot better." She gave me a motherly peck on the forehead before sitting a lot happier on her armchair and continuing with her work.

There was time before the bell so I decided to go to my home room, and it looked like I had the same home room as last years. I stood in front of the wooden door that was slightly open, I peaked my head through the door, but nobody saw me expect my old teacher.

He paused the class.

"Class there is a new student here waiting in the hallway, she's not really new as she attended this school last year, Aphmau would you like to come in?" I heard a few gasps as I entered the classroom.

"Hi." I started of introducing myself.

"I'm Aphmau Rosabell and I used to attend this school a year ago." I dragged off.

"And now I'm back."
