It was night. The winter solstice to be exact. Frost cover the pine forest and snow lay thickly on the ground. It was January 3, 1969. The coldest winter in the history of this town. Yes, the town of the Reseprecans. The Reseprecans are human. They are regular mortals with the unique powers. Every day on a Season Solstice they hold an anual meeting at the old castle.
Right now they sat around an large oval table, all 12 of them. They discussed problems and came up with sulutions. But this Winter Solstice meeting held a big surpries for some of the Reseprecans.
“We should be able to command them!” Larten shouted. His dark black hair covered his eyes and his voice was evil,” The humans diserve no respct! They are weak! They should be in our command!” Outside the dark seemed unbareble. Ghosts seemed to move even more than usual, as if supporting the Speaker of the Dead (Larten).
“As is you are the strongest in the town, Larten!” Faren, Mistress of Light tried to reason over the oval table,” If we command the town, then it would be caotic! We could never agree!”
“That is why, only ONE should rule! And in my opinion,” Larten said,” since I came up with the plan, I should cammand this town!”
“I agree!” Janton, Master of the Shadows called,” Lartens, should rule!”
“I have to disagree,” Cendre, Knower of Imotions disagreed,” The humans know they are not as strong as us. They are doing fine without our interference. We only have to put in little effort to make them do what we want!”
“Yes, but then we wouldn’t be showing them our FULL power!” Falcon, Talker of Creatures, spoke up,” They already dare to defy us.”
“Oh, Falcon,” Cendre chided,” You’re only speaking like that because a human refused to marry you!”
Falcon ignored her,” They dare to set up buildings where we have claimed land! They say it the LAW! That we have to sign papers to own land is rediculase!! We practicallt own the town!”
“But, Falcon,” Gina, Controller of Sound and Sight, asked,” They live here do’t they? I mean, if you were to have children and those children would be forced to live in this town, wouldn’t you want the best for them?”
“Pa!” Haris, Controller of Fire said,” As if! If I were them, I wouldn’t have moved into this town in the first place! Then, this trouble would never have started!”
“They thought it was a normal town, Haris,” Eagle, Master of the Skies, told him,” They thought it was a safe town. After all our logo is; Safe for the Unsafe.”
“Yes, but that was meant for Reseprecans to come if they found us!” Larten shouted.
“This meeting is ujurned!” Gina called,” Some of us can’t controll our selves!”
With that, Gina, Controller of sound and sight stood up. The rest of the Reseprecans followed, their robes and cloaks swishing. They darted dark looks at each other as they exited the meeting hall.

I am Emma Silk. A 13 year old who lives in a small town in the upper east-side of New York. We in this town, we can NEVER leave, bacause we know a really big secret. There are people in this world who can fly, turn in wolves, make illusions and other wierd stuff. I know what you’re thinking. I’m crazy, right? Well, that’s really good. Don’t believe a word I say ’cause if you do, you’ll sound nuts to the people around you. I’m going to tell you about me. I didn’t find out that I was a Reseprecan until I was 13. Even then there were many things I had to learn.
It all happen on one fateful day in June. It was really warm and my best friend, Sandy Locks and I were strolling through the woods. Yes, woods. The Reseprecans ordered that there be at least four acres of wood in the town. Anyway, we walking, talking about next year and the latest movies and stuff like that.
“I’m going to get my hair dyed white!!” Sandy told me. Sandy really liked to do bissare things.
“That would look wiered,” I commented.
“On you maybe. Blonde hair looks good on you, but brown hair is not my thing,” Sandy shot back.
“Hey, lets, race,” I suggested,” Who ever loses has to buy the winner an ice-cream!”
“You’re on,” Sandy said.
“Ready. Set Go!” I shouted. We tore through the trees, doging trucks and low hanging branches. I was never to reach the end. We were following a path see and while I was racing, I had veered off it. I stopped running. I retraced my steps. There was no path. Only trees, trees, and more trees.
I gulped. The adults around town were always warning us about staying on the path. They said something roamed the woods. I tried to keep calm and find the path. I searched for about ten minutes before I heard a snarl. I ran. As I raced through the brush, I could hear the loud thumpping of another shape chasing me. I was running when I ran into a clearing. I was trying to choose which way to go, when a deep growl came from right behing me. Slowy, I turned. Most people would have run, but I was a little curiouse as to what this beast looked like.
There at least a foot in front of me was a the bigest wolf. It bared its fangs, but didn’t growl.
“Oh my god,” I breathed. Then, the thing spoke.
“What are you doing in these woods?” he seemed to say.
“I..um..that is..” I tried to say.
“Never mind,” he growled,” I want to know, how you can see me!”
I reclaimed my witts,” Well, let me think. I guess I’m not supposed to see a wolf the size of grizzly bear, huh?”
“No, you’re not,” he said, puzzled. Then something happened. The wolf disolved into silver light and in its place stood a boy, about my age. He had dark hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark blue-plaid button up with the sleeves rolled up. Dark skinnny jeans covered his legs.
I freaked out then. I wanted to chang into a bird and fly away from this wolf-changing boy. As soon as I thought it, my wish came true.
First a tingling krept up my spine and I felt sick. I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I was still in the clearing, but the wolf-changing boy had grown really big. He was at least 14 feet above me. What’s more he was staring at me as if I was the one who had changed shape.
I looked down, because I didn’t want to see his face anymore. That’s when I noticed the talons. They were sharp and small. They looked like they could scoop up a fish and turn it into a fish cabab at the same time. Then I saw the feathers. They were brown and really pretty. I opened my mouth to speak, but a,” Cawww!” came out. I screamed, which sound like,” Sreaaaaaaaaaac!”
The boy seemed to snap out of his daze and imedietly scooped my up. Then he walked briskly out of the clearing.
That’s when I blacked out.
******************************************************
When I came to, I wasn’t in the clearing anymore. I lay on a bed in the corner of a large doctor’s office. It was dim and I had a hard time focusing. When everything became clear, I could see that I lay on a smal cot and I was human again. That was good. The next thing I noticed was that there was a young man sitting behing a mahogany desk. He looked about 20 years old, but his hair was white.
“Um..excuse me?” I croaked.
The man looked up from the book he was reading. He had cheerfull face and right now he was smiling,” Emma Silk, right?”
“Um..yes, sir,” i managed. My throat was ruff and sratchy. It hurt to swallow.
“Here,” he go up and walked over to me with a glass of water. He handed it to me and I took it. I sipped it and recoiled at the taste. It was cross between honey and…cream?
“W-what’s this?” I asked.
“It’s called Relecan Jucie. Only for Reseprecans,” he said.
I choked,” Only for Reseprecans? Then why did you give it to me?”
“Think, Emma. I know you can guess,” he turned and took out a small book from his desk.
I had a feeling I knew, but I didn’t want to admit it.
“I don’t know!” I cried.
The man sighed,”Okay, then, I’ll tell you. You’re a Reseprecan”
”What?” I asked shakly.
The man didn’t say anything. He turned to his desk and picked up a phone. He talked on it for a few minutes. I listened to his side of the conversation,” Yes…She is…..I don’t know yet…..maybe….Send one of them, okay?… Alright. Bye.”
He turned to me and smiled. It calmed me down,” Who are you anyway?”
“I’m Mr. Buldover. The Mytholigy teacher at Ivy Academy.” he said.
I had heard of Ivy Academy. It was a boarding school for kids who were talented in Music, Art, and Theatre. But they also took in Reseprecans.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“You’re in my office,” he said,” Jai brought you to me when you passed out.”
“Jai?” I asked,” Who’s that?”
“Jai is the Master of Creatures,” Buldover said,” He is the son of Kintara, Mistress of Creatures.”
“So that wasn’t a dream,” I groaned.
Before he could say anything someone knocked on the door. Mr. Buldover walked to the dark oak door and opened it. Michelle Jackson’s Beat It blared into the room.
“Dani!” Buldover yelled over noise,” Lower the sound!” The music turned to “Tim McGraw” by Taylor Swift. The teacher let in a girl that looked my age. She had dark blonde hair, shoulder-length, and wore punk cloths.
“Emma, this is Dani Bang,” Mr. Buldover introduced us,” Dani, this is Emma Silk. She will be in your and Dawn’s dorm.”
“Cool,” Dani grinned,” It’ll be fun. Two roommates instead of one!”
I swung my legs off the cot and tried to get up. As soon as I stood up, my surroundings began to swirl. The next thing I know, Dani and Buldover are supporting me. Everything came into focus.
“Are you okay?” Dani asked.
“Ya,” I groaned.
I slipped out of their grip.
“Go with Dani to your dorm room. Tomorrow is Tuesday so you’ll start school,” Buldover said.
I was to woosy to ask any questions so I followed Dani out into the landing.
“So you’re the Clouddreamer?” Dani asked.
“The Cloud-what?” I asked.
“The Clouddreamer. The Proficy said that when the Clouddreamer came we would have good luck.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, confused.
