Eliana’s Point of View

“We are here,” My father said as we arrived at Enchanted Academy. My father and sister, Lilian, got out of the front driver and passenger seats while I got out of the back.

“I can’t believe we are here,” My sister said excitedly

“Me either, sweetheart. I am going to miss you so much. I love you,” My father said, and he hugged Lilian. I just watched their interaction.

“I will miss you too, father,” Lilian replied as she hugged him back.

“I am going to go find my dorm room,” Lilian said

“Okay, Sweetheart,” my father said, and she made her way to the line where people were getting their room numbers. As soon as she was out of sight, my dad’s eyes went over to me

“I expect you to look after your sister. If anything happens to her, you will regret it,” My father said. There was no love in his eyes when he looked at me, like there was when he looked at Lilian

“Yes, father,” I replied as I looked at the ground

“Don’t do anything to embarrass your sister or me,” My father said

“I won’t,” I replied.

“You better not. If you do, I won’t hesitate to take you out of here. You are only here to look after your sister. Don’t forget that,” my father said

“I won’t,” I replied.

Lilian walked back over to us, and that same fatherly smile returned to his face. “I got the dorm information. Eliana, I got your information too, but you are in a different dorm. You will be sharing with four other people,” Lilian said. Of course I would. There was no way my father would pay for me to have my own dorm room as he did for Lilian. The only reason I was going there was that I was offered a full time scholarship to Enchanted Academy.

I took the information from her and looked at it.

“Well, I should get going. I will miss you so much, Lilian,” My father said as he hugged Lilian again

“I will miss you too,” Lilian said

“Eliana, don’t forget what we just discussed,” Father said

“I won’t, Father,” I replied, and he left.

“Isn’t this amazing?” Lilian said

“Yes, it is,” I replied truthfully

“Um, I am going to go find my room. I would share with you, but I finally get to be independent, plus I'm sure it isn’t that big. I know you have to share with four others,” Lilian said

“Don’t worry about it. It’s okay,” I said

“Well, I will see you later. Oh, and please don’t cause a scene. We finally get a chance to start over where no one knows us,” Lilian said

“I know,” I replied, and Lilian left. I sighed before making my way to my dorm room

My name is Eliana Rose, and I am a nineteen year old Sophomore. I had ended up getting a scholarship to Enchanted Academy my freshman year, but my dad wouldn’t let me go. He wanted me to stay to look after Lilian, who was a senior in high school at the time.

I ended up going to the community college close to home and was lucky that Enchanted Academy offered me another scholarship for my sophomore year. The reason I was offered a scholarship is that I had powers. I didn’t know how to control them all the way but the teachers believed I would be very powerful once I learned how to use them.

My dad is human. He is a leader of the human council. My mom was half witch and human. She passed away while having me. That was the reason my dad treated me so different then my sister. He blamed me for her death. The Doctors told her that there was a huge chance she wouldn’t survive having me and wanted her to abort, but my mom refused. My dad never misses the chance to tell me how I murdered my mom. He has been telling me that since I was three years old. The maid basically raised me.

He remarried Lilian’s mom, Vera, and had Lilian when I was one. Vera never treated me like her daughter. She made sure I dressed nicely just to keep up appearances. I was the leader of the human council’s daughter after all, and I had to look the part. That didn’t mean everyone didn’t know that my father treated me differently. Everyone could see how he treated Lillian like a princess and me like I meant nothing to him.

My dad would always throw her parties, but never me. When I graduated at the top of my class, my dad couldn't care less. When Lilian finished high school, she had the biggest party ever. He even paid for her way to Enchanted Academy, even though she had no powers.

Everyone bullied me because of the way my dad treated me. They also bullied me because of my appearance. My dad was white, and my mom was black, but that wasn’t the reason they mistreated me. They mistreated me because of my eye and hair color. I was born with purple eyes and black hair with purple streaks. I was 5 ft 3. I wasn’t skinny and tall like Lilian, who was 5 ft 6 in, with long blond hair and blue eyes. I was built like a coca cola bottle. Men would stare at my body, and women would glare.

It didn’t help that I spoke my mind and didn’t take shit from anyone. I had been in a lot of fights in the past because of people trying to bully me. Of course, my dad would punish me every time he got a call home from school. I couldn’t count how many times I was whipped or starved over it.

I made my way to the golden dorm where I would be staying. I was shocked at how nice it was. It wasn’t a building with a lot of dorm rooms. It was a mansion. There was a sensor that looked like it needed to scan something like a keycard. I didn’t have one, so I had to knock since the door was locked.

A beautiful girl with long blond hair and blue eyes answered the door.

“Hello, I am Eliana,” I said

“Eliana, yes, I have been waiting for you. I am Ashley.”
