Chapter 17: Spells & Uncle Sam

YOONA

"I'm home Yoona!"

"Oh, you're back."

Uncle Sam just look at me with narrowed eyes as I continue sweeping the garden. Today's a no-class day so there aren't any students around for now. And Uncle Sam has just got back from his so-called vacation.

"What's with that emotionless greeting again? Nothing still changed?" He asked me. I pretend to ignore him and just continued sweeping. "Why don't you smile if I come back for once?" I hear him say so I got no choice but to do what I always do.

"Uncle, why don't you sit here for awhile so I could massage you? I'm sure you're very tired today." I told him with a very genuine smile only him can see. I rarely do this because my pride of always-looking-at-people-with-a-poker-face got in the way. Self-control is also one thing I need.

Uncle Sam smiled at me and sat down as I did the massage.

"You're still good at this." He complimented. I just ignored it and continued to massage him. "So, how's the week of being alone?" He asked.

"Fine, I guess. I got to own the house." I boldly told him. Yes, I treat my uncle as if he's someone my age. Uncle Sam doesn't mind anyway.

"You didn't wreck my room did you? You didn't get inside like I told you right?" He asked me while turning his head sideward.

"Yes and yes, like always, I did not get in." I replied. He then sighed in relief. Sometimes, I wonder what's inside his room. Every time he goes out of the house he'll always tell me not to get in his room. I tried to get in once and but I didn't know he placed dark wool cloth at the door knob. Because of that my hand got red because of my scratching since I'm allergic to black wool, especially if it did came from black sheep. Yes, I'm allergic to those kinds of things.

"Good. So, could you tell me who that person is? A new friend of yours?" He asked me while looking at my left. My eyebrows furrowed when he said the word friend but as soon as I look at the same direction, my eyes went big.

"Your majesty, what are you doing here?" I asked as I bow towards Prince Lay. He smiled at me and said a good morning to Uncle as he give me a green folder with a title, Natural and Secondary Spells. I look at him, confused.

"The Supervisor told me to give this to you. Since we will be having P.E. starting this Wednesday, you will have to know how to initiate this spells by using this stick." And he pulled out a dark stick made out of metal and gave it to me. "This stick is a special kind of wand that can help you build things. Just recite what's on the book and magic makes the rest." I look at this wand and I was a bit fascinated about it. "If you need my help on this, don't hesitate to come in our dorm alright?" I nodded. He bowed at me and walked out.

"Something did change." I look at Uncle Sam with narrowed eyes. "Your eyes tell me you knew him before. Have you met?"

"Uh, yes? And what do you mean by change Uncle?" I asked him as I open the book. It's actually big and a bit thick. How many spells are enlisted here anyway?

"Nothing, maybe its because you both have that the same mark near your eye." He said. I unconsciously touched it. I don't really pay much attention about this so I continued reading some spells. Uncle Sam then helped me.

"Are you really going to make a field, Yoona? It did say that it this will take 15 minutes." He asked me.

"Don't you worry Uncle! Perhaps you forgot about my powers, I can just make that field in just 10 minutes or less." I confidentally say to him. He just shrugged my shoulders at me and sat comfortably on the chair with his legs on the table beside him.

"Fine." He said. I secretly roll my eyes. 'He feels so at home.' I thought. Since I'm now standing at the lot, I started to meditate. I raised the wand in the air and the powers inside it went out. It started to spread everywhere until it finally reached the perfect shape. With that, I stomped the ground hard, making all the grasses around disappear replaced with just plain and clear ground with lines. I put the wand down and the power fell, making the field in shape. I pick up one big rock and place my fire and light powers in it. With my telekinesis and thunder, I tried to enlarge it, to the size of the goal for soccer. I did the same process again and made two. I then place them at each other's ends of the field. Feeling satisfied, I flew up to see it from above.

It looks good from above. The field looks a bit small but good enough. I'll just find a spell in the book in order to make the bleachers. I was about to fly down when I felt the wind stronger than awhile ago. I stumbled down a bit but quickly regained my balance. I turned around to find its source but I don't see anything. The wind went to its normal pace, making me wonder how it just went blew hard. And I swear I even saw someone running, particularly flying fast, together with the wind.

I just shrug it off and flew down. I landed safely and grabbed the book. I turned some pages somewhere in the B section since the spells here are arranged in alphabetical order when the wind blew hard again, making the pages of the book flip faster, until the book itself fell from my hands. The wind then stopped after a minute.

I stood up and traveled my eyes everywhere, anywhere in the area. If I'm not mistaken, someone powerful is nearby. With my eyes still on alert, I pick up the book. Though I could still feel this person's presence, I decided to get over it and look at the book but shock was clear in my eyes thereafter.

"Whoever highlight this entire spell, must be soooooo stupid." I quickly close the book, blushing so mad. How dare that person highlight a Pleasure Spell. And why is there a spell like that?!?!?!?!

Still hesitating, I opened the end part of the book, flipped the first 7 pages and started reading it. Finally, nothing green is listed here. But this time, another person highlighted two spells which caught my attention. Its using a highlighter, since the spell which was highlighted awhile ago was using yellow green color pencil.

I read what's written on top of this page and my forehead crumpled. Dark Spells? A section of bad spells? I flip one page backward and saw that the book is now ending with credits written. Is this supposed to be a hidden part of the book? I read some spells of it and I was disgusted by some of them like Hypnotism, Mind Control, Anger, and a lot more spells. Until my eyes landed on the two highlighted spells.

Forget Spell and Heartless Spell.

Why did the person even highlight this? Is it trying to use this for some plan? I thought. Again, I look around the area until I saw Princess Seohyun, holding a tiny book, a pen and highlighter. She smiled at me and started walking towards me. I stood up to greet her but then suddenly the wind blew hard for the third time, making me look around again. Princess Seohyun just placed her hands on top of the skirt she is wearing, sweeping off dust from it.

"Sigh, what on SMTown is happening to the climate on Earth? This side is getting involved too." I hear her complaint but I was only staring at her highlighter which fell from her hands and rolled towards my sneakers. I picked it up and gave it to her. She managed to say thank you and sat beside me, but me?

Looking back and forth at her highlighter to the book because the color she has is red,

And the color used for highlighting those spells is also red.

THIRD PERSON POV

A lady in a black robe smirked as she watches the sight below her. Again, she made the wind go stronger and left. Still with that smirk on her lips, she whispered,

"It's almost time."

A/N

And I'm back with a chapter. Please excuse spelling typos. I'm using a tablet for every update.

I'm so sorry I didn't update last week, I got tired and this week, I got busy in school. A lot of projects and assignments too. I had a mini-writer's block too but I regained it too soon. Also because I practiced every after class some reciting, since I'm included in a speech choir for a contest.

And we won 1st place! Yey!!

Anyways, I can finally sleep now. My eyes really are closing everytime I type. Thank you all for patiently waiting.

Bye ~ see next update next week~
