Jacqueline's First day

[Jacqueline Darkangel]

Jacqueline walked towards the main entrance her hand grasping the leather strap of her bag. She was nervous this school was larger than she was use to and she had to stay here which in its self would be quit difficult but she knew it would be filled with excitement and the prospects of meeting new people made her clutch the strap of her bag more tightly as she walked down the stone path.

On reaching the large doors she followed two people inside feeling how although warm out side, it was comparatively cool inside. On the stone walls hung pictures and tapestries faces of people she didn’t know looked down at her. She assumed they were of past students each as impressive as the next. Taking a deep breath she could smell the many potions that she knew were brewing. This school was impressive.

Jacqueline stood in the entrance way looking quite lost not just in her thoughts but physically too she had no idea where she was to go. Reaching into her bag she pulled out a folded piece of paper on it were written directions and instructions on how to get to the head mistress room and then to the dorm room she had been assigned to her, but what she could have used right now was a guide.

Rubbing her temples with the heel of her hands, Elizabeth winced in pain and closed her eyes. The migraine she felt coming on was going to kill her. Her visions were coming more frequent and a lot stronger. She got the point. She need to help whoever this petite redhead was, and she needed to do it fast. Her physical and mental health depended on it.

Getting up off of her couch she decided that she needed to do some research. Where was there a library, or information center around this town? The Academy, she thought, and that is where she headed off to.

Pulling open the massive doors Elizabeth stepped inside and sighed with relief. It was not as light in hear and she could open her eyes all the way again, well as much as her throbbing head would allow her. She had just mad it in the door when her head burst into what seemed like a thousand flames.

A boats horn sounding...A harsh slap across the face a a pretty redhead...open wounds...metal cell...cross looking brunette drawing blue lines in the air...hopelessness and pain in the eyes of the wounded captive...

"OUCH!, Bloody-" she stopped herself in mid-word, she had not only gotten a worse headache because of her premonition, but had run into a young girl as she was walking through the school halls blindly. "I am so sorry love, I did not see you there, are you alright? I did not hurt you did I?" She asked all in a jumble all the while squinting in pain, and rubbing her pounding temples.

Jacqueline wasn’t looking where she was going she looked at the letter in her hand when she suddenly felt some one or thing bump her, she landed on the stone floor with a bump and winced.

“Ouch!” she said She looked up from her undignified landing to see what she had bumped into and saw a woman standing over her. She seemed to Jacqueline be in pain.

“Are you ok?” she asked standing rather painfully off the floor and brushing the dust that seemed to have clung to her brightly colored skirt with her fall.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t looking where I was going, to tell the truth I’m lost” she said with a smirk “ I seem to be doing that a lot this week, my names Jacqueline Darkangel” she tucked her dark hair back behind her ear as she stood up. Checking nothing had dropped out of her bag she loooked abck at the woman. The faded leather of the bag showing it’d had a lot of use. On one corner sat a faded badge and the simple design on the strap now long faded but in spots could be just seen around the shoulder and where it met the bag.

Still squinting her eyes, she looked at the girl the best she could. She had landed on the floor, and was standing up, brushing dirt off herself, when Elizabeth meekly said, yes I am fine, well not fine, my head is pounding, but that was not because of this little collision. "Yes I am fine, sorry, I cannot see very well right now, my head is killing me and I was literally blinded for a minute."

Her vision finally clearing, after she tried blinking and stretched her face in awkward ways for a few minutes, she was sure she look ridiculous, but it helped. "I am new as well, I am not a student, I am actually hoping to be a teacher, I was looking for the library to do some..um research." She did not want to go into detail about her visions with a complete stranger. "Maybe we can help each other, where are you headed to?" She tried to smile as friendly as she could to the girl, maybe she could help her with her task at hand.

Jacqueline looked at the woman and at how she squinted as she looked at her "No, no, its my fault i should have been watching where i was going" she said trying to make the woman feel some what better but seeing her pulling strange faces she decided it would be best to ignored what she was doing knowing that it must have some purpose she didn't know about.

Reaching down she picked up the letter she had held earlier but dropped when she fell.
"I was told to report here but not to whom i was to see " she brushed the dirt from the paper and held it out "I'm a new student " it was then she remembered her bag it still lay not far from her and she motioned in its direction.

"I arrived very early this morning but thought it best to wait till now to come here, thinking there would be more people around , it seems i was mistaken" she looked around the empty hallway shifted nervously as she waited for the woman to speak. Her left ankle had now started to throb a little from her tumble and she wondered if she had slightly twisted it but it was not her thing to show her feelings in front of a teacher especially one who was possibly going to be her teacher and so just stood.

"Oh, you are going to the Headmistress office. I can show you the way, I just came from there. Its on the other side of the school."

Elizabeth was surprised she could actually read the piece of paper, and map that Jacqueline was showing her. She could make out an H, M, ress, and llins. So she assumed it was Headmistress Rollins. "It must be fate that we bumped into each other." As they were walking Elizabeth noticed that the girl was was slightly limping on her left ankle. "Oh, are you hurt? Here let me see." She guided Jacqueline over to a near by bench and took a look at her ankle. It was beginning to swell and turn reddish-purple."Oh dear, I feel so badly about this!" Let me heal this for you" Looking around for her wand Elizabeth finally found it, at the bottom of her purse...of curse, everything she needed was always at the bottom of her purse.

She pulled out her wand and pointed it at her ankle, "Guérir" she said, in a clear strong voice. It was a good thing she knew a few healing spells. She had learned them, so she could help heal the people in her visions. She would not have been much help if she found the people in her visions and could not do anything but say 'here I am I found you'.

Elizabeth looked back up at the girl and asked "does that feel any better love?" Her vision was more clear now, and she looked up at Jacqueline, she looked scared, and lost. "Oh and by the way, my name is Elizabeth, but please call me Lizzie."

Jacqueline breathed a sigh of relief when the woman said she knew the way to the office she needed , she was even happier when she said she would take her, picking up the battered suit case she began to follow limping as she moved behind her
" I think i twisted my ankle when i fell but its no bother" she said lying threw her teeth , it actually hurt like the thingyens but she kept it well hid, her ankle now throbbing as she moved , she was glad when the woman suggested she sit down, slipping off her sock and shoe she winced as she saw it has turned are reddish-purple color she carefully rested it on the top of her shoe.
Jacqueline looked at the woman as she apologized "no it was my fault this place is so beautiful i didn't watch where i was going" she said and watched as she rummaged in her bag for something bringing out a wand , Jacqueline flinched and moved back slightly wondering just what she was going to do with it, but to her surprise she only pointed it and spoke , no sooner than she Had Jacqueline felt her ankle tingle and the coloring faded leaving her ankle much better , must to her relief "yes it dose thank you" she said with a smile slipping her sock and shoe on she stood back up slowly at first expecting some sort of pain but nothing except a tingling but that soon faded "My names Jacqueline Dark angel Miss Lizzie" she said
