guy seemed like the guy you beat up for pocket change, so why did she give the attitude? Maybe he was an old boyfriend. Either way it didn’t matter. What mattered now was that I was about to meet people and I could make a new first impression and maybe become popular for once. I knew the werewolves couldn’t keep their hands off me, I was hoping to make well with my own people too.
“Hi, I’m Cory” I said and stuck out my hand. The ginger just stood there looking at me and blushed. Great, the first person I meet is the social outcast.
CHAPTER 7
Lil Miss Know it All
“Hi, I’m Ronnie.” The red haired kid replied, still looking kind of nervous.
“Nice to meet you Ron , I am new here and just trying to figure out what’s what.”
“New?” He said continuing, “How can you be new here? All of the wizards have been accounted for. Where did you come from?”
I told Ronnie my story from start to end. He admitted it was a bit weird but that the only people he has ever seen here were all brought when they were young.
“Well that is all of it”, I said “So why don’t you and hairy Miss Hotness get along, I thought they liked wizard guys and why in the hell do you call yourselves wizards? I haven’t seen not one wand or any of you do anything near magical.”
“Umm, which quest ion do you want answered first?” He asked sheepishly.
“Just pick one bro, any one will do”. I replied.
“Well many people have problems with the werewolves, I don’t mind them at all, they just don’t like me. I am a little different than most wizards”.
“So the wizard thing”…I just let the question linger in the air.
“From when the world first learned of our existence we were called wizards. Merlin the Magnificent was the first known Wizard. He carried a staff but only because he had one leg. The wands and other crap you see on the movies are fiction. Each wizard only has one thing they can do that’s supernatural, though most lose it by the time they are twenty.”
“I thought ever yone lost their powers by 25? That’s what the principal told me.”
“Well that’s not entirely true; some people have powers that are physical in nature, like being 12 feet tall or growing six arms. Those powers stay with you for life. Before you ask, no there are no people 12 feet tall anymore.”
“So Bro, what exactly happens in this place? I don’t understand why vampires and everyone else hides out. Why not use your abilities to get rich, that’s what I would do, make a lot of money.”
“Well the wizards tried that a lot of different t imes, each ended in disaster. The latest time was in Salem, and I am sure you heard of what happened there. How would you feel if you think the only reason somebody was making it was because they had an extreme unfair advantage over you, like using a motorcycle in a foot race?”
“Hell Bro I would be mad as hell, that’s not fair!”
“The world doesn’t think so either. Wizards are easy to pick out because we can’t resist showing off. Werewolves on the other hand are a secretive bunch. Currently they are hunted not primarily by the world at large, but because they prey on wizards they find, often kidnapping their victims while still young.”
“Hold up Ronnie, that’s what I don’t get, why in the hell would any of you not want a bunch of chicks lining up to sleep with you? Between me and you, I can’t wait to lose my virginity!”
“Cory I keep forgetting you are new, there are two ways a wizard loses their powers, the first one you already know of, turning 25.”
“Okay Bro so what is the second one?” I replied.
“Having sex. Every wizard you see here is a virgin. Of that 199 wizards, only 25 or so are male. We are a female driven society, the wizards, all of the werewolves and most of the vampires are all female too. That’s the reason wizards do not like werewolves, the nastier you are to them,
