About

History: She was born two years after her older brother Keno. Growing up her older brother did all he could to make it easier on their parents. When Taylor cried, her big brother rushed in. A bottle always in hand and a bag of diaper changing equipment, that’s what he called it. She remembers cause she always laughed at him when he said it. Soon though her brother had to attend school. That meant their hours of playtime was limited. He had other friends now, pair that with homework and his time was pretty much taken.

Taylor loved her brother so much. He always tried to make her smile. Once she dropped her ice cream and so he bought her a new ice cream with his money he had been saving. As her and Keno grew up they still were the best of friends. Most siblings fight over things but they never did. Keno always said to Taylor... "Taylor... One day, you will be so great the world will have to send you away." This made Taylor cry; she didn't want to leave Keno. Keno quickly had to add that he wouldn't let her go alone. This stopped the rainfall of tears from his little sisters face.

Taylor was whisked away from her family at a young age. She was eight to be exact, and Keno was ten. Taylor had slept through much of the excitement and found her self under her brother’s bed. Her eyes opening to her brother Keno standing with a bat, A man stood in the door way. Fearing her brother would come to harm she screamed. Purple ice shot from her hands that gripped the carpet. The ice covered the floor and left standing room for Keno. The tall man fell and Taylor made her way from under the bed. She walked to her brother hugging him. As she walked the ice melted leaving nothing but a wet floors.

Their parents came in. Tears in her mother’s eyes. Taylor didn't understand and so she started to cry too. Dad helped the tall man up; Mom sat the children on the bed and told them Taylor was special. She needed to go to a special school. This made Taylor cry more. Keno tried his best to be brave and Taylor said this. "But big brother you said you would come with me when I was sent away" Keno cried. It had hurt him that he couldn't go and Taylor saw it in their parent's faces that her brother was not allowed to go.

In the Magix academy Taylor learned some new things about her self. Not just spells, nor hidden power, She had learned more things about her self. Her mental awareness of the things she could do. She met new friends, made some enemies and of course got into allot of trouble like all kids eventually do. Her fist night in the academy she shared her room with a girl called Maria. Their first meeting didn't go well, not at all like the instructors had expected. Maria wasn't too keen on having a new girl in her room. Infact as Taylor remembers it Maria screamed so loud every one fell to the floor knocked unconscious. Well not Taylor. A shield of purple ice had surrounded her. This protected her by blocking out most of the sound.

When Maria stopped and the ice faded from around Taylor Maria struck up a new round. Taylor reached out her hand and slapped Maria. "Shut it! You are such a brat! What makes you think I want to share a room with a brat!" Taylor had screamed. Maria was in shock. No one had ever spoken to her like that. She hated Taylor even more now. Taylor woke up the instructors and said "I don't want to share a room with a girl like her. She doesn't like me and I don't like brats." Though there was nothing the instructors could do. The girls were made to share a room. After a week in Magix Taylor learned that the floor of ice was powered by her emotions. They powered the shield she had made when Maria screamed as well.

Taylor wondered if all her powers were controlled by her emotions. She tested this theory several times though none of the results came out the same. One week of emotions being high there would be no powers, another there would. One week no emotions there would be no powers, another there would. This confused her so much. Soon she just stopped testing the theory. She remembered that a teacher had said, once she began to learn how to control her powers the emotions would not be in full control of them. After two weeks she had learned a new spell. A frozen wall would appear if she just concentrated on a few words. This came in handy as a room divider for her and Maria though Maria believed the wall was unsightly and tarnished her perfect things.

Taylor rolled her eyes ignoring Maria. In Taylor's mind, Maria was a good for nothing brat. Every morning Maria woke up late, She demanded some one make breakfast for her and have her clothes ready and a bubble bath waiting. What pissed Taylor off more was that the instructors did it. All cause Maria's family had money. Maybe this girl’s power wasn't something vocal... maybe it was money educed. Taylor studied hard. Growing up for six years in a room with Maria. Her powers improving and new spells being learned, Taylor continued to pass her classes. Maria wasn't having the same luck and she hated Taylor more for this. Unlike the instructors who could be bought the principal wasn't that easy to handle.

Taylor decided to have a pizza party with her closest friends. Maria found out and if it weren't for that ice wall Taylor had set up the other girls would be unconscious. Of course it was cold in Taylor’s part of the room but the other girls she had invited were girls with powers like her. Sayla and Alex. Alex looked at Taylor. "So it is almost time for you to go home what ya going to do?" Taylor didn't know what they meant, she just looked at them. Alex laughed. "You can't mean you haven't heard... Guess Sayla and me got to tell ya then. When a student turns 13 she gets to go home and visit with her family for a while... and again when she turns 18 if she stays here that long. " Sayla blinked. "Hey!" The three girls giggled.

The next day Taylor thought about what they had said. She wondered if her family had missed her all those years. She wondered if they would remember her. Guess she would see soon enough. The day came quicker then she thought. Her bags packed and wave good-bye to her friends and Maria who shot her the bird, and Taylor was off home. Getting there, her parent's truck was gone. Keno should be home... he was like what 15 now so he didn't need a babysitter. She knocked on the door. No answer. "Keno Aurther Torrence! I know you are home! Let me in this instant!" She shouted. Sure enough Keno opened the door but he was a bit too late. A puddle of ice was all he would see if he looked closely. She had sunk into the puddle of ice and popped up from a new one inside the house.

After a very long hug from her brother Taylor smiled. "Want to see what I can do?" He shook his head yes. A few spell words were muttered though under her breath. Blue smoke surrounded her brother and he was on his back. Four paws in the air. Wait... Paws. She had gotten the spell wrong and turned her brother into a fox. She picked him up and hugged him. It was then her parents ran in. They called her teachers who tried everything they knew. Turns out... Taylor is the only one who can make a counter spell. Never the less she was allowed to stay home for a few months before going back to Magix.

Once back at Magix Taylor had a sleep over for her friends Alex and Sayla to meet Keno, Her "pet" fox. Both girls fawned over him. He was adorable. When it came time for the girls to change keno sat still watching. Taylor seeing this grabbed her brother and carted him into the bathroom. Several parties and study groups later, Taylor had her first boyfriend. She came to her brother for advice though her brother reluctantly gave it. He didn't want her going out on dates, Taylor could see that. How ever this did not change her mind. Her first date was sweet. The boy walked her to her door and kissed her on the cheek, and then the fox staring out the window and growling scared him off.

The next date he kissed her on the lips and the fox bashed its self into the window snarling. On the last date... The guy went to french her and Her brother bounded out the door and bit the guy on the butt. Well needless to say her date never called her again. This happed every time she got a boyfriend. Though she thought it was funny how protective her brother was. Guess that was something she should look for in a guy then. Some on who will put up with a protective "pet". On her 15th birthday a letter came along with a card from her parents. She read the card and found about 100 bucks inside "Score!" she shouted and then picked up the letter from the school. She read it and began to cry.

Her friends were still schooling here at Magix. She had thought of this like her second home. The letter told her the new school she was being sent to. Twighlight Academy. She packed her things and her and her brother left to embark on a new adventure.
