Excerpt #1: At first, it didn't register what I was seeing. They showed this is a lot of movies anyway. This was perfectly normal.Then it clicked. People are supposed to bleed not spark! I know my parents would take me to the doctor every month but I'd always be asleep for everything because I'd kick and scream if I wasn't.I grab my phone and dial Mom's number. She answers on the third ring."Hey Betty! How's being out on your own going? We miss you!" She chatters excitedly.I take a deep breath, "It's going okay. Mom, is Dad there? I need to speak to you both.""Yes! Oh we're so excited to hear from you!"I hear her yell for my dad to come see. Then a quick conversation before I am put on speaker."Hey Sugarplum!" Dad shouts. I can practically see his blue eyes dancing with excitement, the same way they would when his team won the game."Hey! So, um, I have some news. Uhhh... Bad news... I'm trying not to freak out."Silence."Hello?""Sorry honey! What's wrong?" Mom answers.I gulp. "I um... I cut my finger... off... And there's not blood, or pain."More silence.Excerpt #2I stood before the queen, waiting for my sentence. No doubt, I'd be sentenced to death. Alice, queen of hearts, was ruthless."Aoife the enchantress" She spat, "You shall be banished from this land, never to return!"A collective gasp danced in the air, even Edward, the king stared at his wife in shock. She always killed, never banished.A crimson smile spread across my face, "As you wish, my lady." I curtsied and allowed the guards to bound me in chains of silver.They believed the silver would stop my magic, these poor tragic souls. I was more powerful than I let on, even if I was only ten.The guards gently lifted me into the back of a wagon surrounded by silver bars. I lay my head on the hay and allow sleep to take over.
