The Wicked Awakening Of Anne Merchant - Plot & Excerpts
When good things happen, you’re just supposed to accept them. Being selected as one of the Lucky Ten is definitely a good thing. The best thing. It means I’m free. I’m alive again. I can go home to my dad. But I can’t help wondering why I was selected. Of all people, why me? I’ve only been at Cania four months, and I’ve managed, in that time, to cause nothing but trouble for the school and its leadership. Is this Dia’s way of thanking me for Mephisto’s removal as headmaster? Or is he so pleased with our mentoring sessions that he wants me to go be an artist in the real world? But we haven’t even finished his portrait yet! And he certainly hasn’t suggested that I’m ready to paint without coaching. How could I possibly have qualified to be one of the Lucky Ten? I sink into the bed. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt. I stare up at the white coffered ceiling with its pale purple accents. It’s almost exactly like the ceiling of my dorm, but it’s vaster and more detailed, with sparkling chandeliers that catch the sunlight through a long, cream-colored wall of four dormer windows.
