"Mum, Dad, you can't just send me away to a boarding school!" Annabel shouted, her hands clenching into fists at her sides. "Annabel Elizabeth Minow! You're acting like a foolish little child! You're seventeen years old, you should know better" her mother snapped back simply crossing her arms.<span style="font-style: italic">What are they thinking? They can't tell me what to do</span>, she thought to herself still angered with her parents. "I just want to travel, like Dad does all the time" she said feeling utterly annoyed, she folded her arms over her chest. "With that beast you have a bond with? That "thing" we strongly disapprove of" her dad said rather harshly. Anger welled up inside of her, she felt like she wanted to burst.<br/><br/>"He's not a beast! He's my friend, my only friend and the only one who actually understands me" she yelled loudly, making everyone's ears ring for a second. "That's it! You are going to your room now and packing. The carriage will arrive tomorrow morning to take you to Lobelia Academy." her mum said and sent the Maid up with her to help her pack. She heard his mental voice in her head,<span style="font-style: italic">I'm sorry about that, I'll be up in my room in a second</span>, she told him mentally and reached her room. "My Lady, I will help you pack" the maid said gently. Annabel turned to the maid with a cold expression on her face, "Bloody hell, just leave me alone!" she said coldly and slammed the door shut.<br/><br/>She let out a huge sigh and walked out on to her balcony to see him, her best and only friend, perched on the tall tree in the garden. "I'm sorry for the hold up, my parents are sending me to an all girls boarding school for etiquette" she said looking at him, she looked a little sad. She didn't want to have to leave. "I really don't want to leave, not because I want to stay in this hell hole. But because that means I wouldn't be able to see you" she said and reached out the pet his head gently, with her small soft hand.
