I am in average girl my name is Serena Yvonne, I am 18 years old. I am starting the Shadow Hunters academy in September. Which is pretty for away in Paris, France. I live in Vancouver right now but my Mom is going to move us when I start the at the academy. I do not know a lot about this place but it is a school for specially gifted people like me. I am half angel half human known as Nephilim, that means one of my parents are an angel which my Dad was. He left my Mom right after I was born. It was hard for me in high school because being half angel makes you really beautiful so a lot of boys would not stop trying to ask them out. I always said no though.

I have beautiful ocean blue eyes, long honey blonde hair and a fair complexion. I am 5'6 tall.

"SERENA TIME TO GET UP." My Mom yells.

I just shake my head, My Mom is so annoying sometimes but I love her all the same. I open my window and feel a nice ocean breeze blowing though my honey blond hair.

I go to the bathroom to have a shower. I finish and wrap a towel around myself. I get my clothes from my closet, which consist of a black under shirt, a cute pink romper, black leggings and my pink fedora. My brown boots are down stairs. I get dressed and head downstairs.

"Hey Mom!" I smile.

"Hi Sweetie, how did you sleep?" She asks.

My Mom has honey blonde hair, and looks like me just a little older. "It was great Mom. I can't wait to go to the Shadow Hunter academy." I jump up and down.

"It will be a new start for us, that's for sure. Want pancakes for breakfast?" My Mom looks at me with a huge grin on her face.

"Sure Mom." I smile, I run back to my room and lift the acceptance letter from my desk and look at it again.

Dear Miss Yvonne

You have been accepted to the Shadow hunter academy in Paris France which will teach people like you to use your gifts to hunt demons, help others, and to learn.

See you then
President Woodland

I put the letter down on my desk. I open my computer and log in to the school website. The academy is quite big it has its own shopping mall, swimming pool, dormitories, training rooms, lots of classrooms. And such.

I go to the chart for new students. I open it and put in a username.

Honey blonde18: Is anyone online?

Blondeguy 18: Yes I am, nice to meet you.

Honey blonde18: Nice to meet you to. I am going to be coming to the Shadow hunter academy in September.

Blondeguy18: Me too hope I meet you there. You sound really cool already.

Honey blonde18: bye

Blondeguy18: bye

Blondeguy18: has logged off.

Honey blonde18: has logged off.

I turn my computer off, I can't wait to go now. I walk backdown stairs and sit down at the kitchen table. "Mom I met this guy on the school chat line." I smile with a big grin on my face.

"My little girl is growing up to fast." My Mom giggles.

"Mom it's not like a have a crush on this guy." I blush looking down on the floor. I eat the pancakes with some maple syrup and blueberries. My favourite breakfast of all time. I eat pretty fast but not too fast so I can enjoy what I am eating.

2 weeks later August 25th

Moving day is finally here, I get out of bed and look out the window and see the moving truck on the driveway. At least it is not raining today, it has rained pretty much all of the summer which sucked. I am going to miss my old friends but to be honest I did not have many in high school.

"SERENA CAN YOU HELP ME FINISH PACKING." My Mom yells.

"Coming Mom." I sigh when is this ever going to change. I can never get up early in the morning.

I quickly pack all my clothes in the suitcase and the rest I put in a box with my computer and whatever else is in my room. I find a orange bra on the floor I throw it in the box. I walk downstairs with my suitcase and box in my other hand. I put my stuff down on floor by the door.

"Hi Mom." She looks sad that we are leaving the only home I have known since I was born.

"Hi Serena ready for our big move?" My Mom has tears running down her face. 

"Yes of course so excited." I hug my Mom trying to comfort her.

Timeskip 

Everything has been put in the moving truck. My Mom has already sold our car, so a cab is coming to pick us up and take us to the airport. Which should be here in 5 minutes.  

Honk, Honk.

I look and see cab pulling up our driveway, I and my Mom Grace walk out the door with our suitcases. I look back at my old house before we leave, I never knew my Dad, but Me and my Mom had lots of great times. It was an old Victorian style house with lots of nice red bricks. A small balcony where I spent many summers reading outside. I turn my head and open the door of the cab, I sit down. The cabdriver puts the suitcases in the trunk, my Mom enters the cab and sits down beside me.

"Where to Miss?" The cab cabdriver asks.

"To the Vancouver airport please." My Mom replies looking away from the window not wanting to leave our old house.

The car starts moving, I looked out the window as our house becomes smaller and smaller and finally disappeared behind the trees. The airport is  quite a ways from our house about 30 minutes by car. I see lots of cars passing by as the cabdriver turned onto the highway. As a nephilim my senses are 10 times more in tuned than a humans. So I can hear things like a mile away and I can see pretty far away. The cabdriver pulls into the airport terminal.

"We have arrived at the airport." The cabdriver announces. 

My Mother pays the cabdriver and thanks him for taking us to the airport. The cabdriver takes our bags out of the trunk. I take my suitcase and my mom takes the other. We walk up to the check in counter. I see a girl staff member, with red hair, and brown eyes she looks around the age of 30 years old. 

"Where you headed today Miss Yvonne?" She asks My Mom.

"We are moving to Paris, France." My Mom replies.

"It is supposed to be a very beautiful country, hope you enjoy living there." The staff member replies, with a small grin.

"Yes." My Mom replies with a sad tone to her voice.

The staff lady checks-in our bags. We put our bags on the scale to weigh them and like that they go down conveyor belt. 

"Just follow the signs, your gate number is D 38." She replies.

We start walking to the gate, my mom and me don't talk much she is in her own little world. When my Mom gets stressed she just shuts right down. As we continue to walk to the gate I see people running too and fro and boarding airplanes at their gate. The Vancouver airport is a very busy place. We finally make it to the D 38 gate. I see the plane already waiting for us. We walk to the gate and board the airplane. I hear on the loud speakers. "Last call for boarding at gate D 38 to Paris France." The announcement finishes. 

I sit at the window seat it has always been my favourite spot to sit at. My Mom sits down beside me. I put my earphones in my ear and pick a playlist from my iPhone. I feel the airplane starting to pull back from the gate, it slowly turns around and heads down the runway. The plane starts to pick up speed and takes off. Bye Vancouver I say to myself. I look out the window and the airport is slowly disappearing it looks like little people in a dollhouse. Once the plane makes it through the clouds, I can no longer see the airport. 

Off we go to start a new life as a shadow hunter at the Paris Academy.
