Chapter 4
Alexa's POV
"That was so boring," I complained. The school day just ended and I had less fun than expected. The four of us -Scorpio, Artemis and Max- were in our dorms. Me sprawled out on the bed, Scorpio drawing, Max reading and Artemis listening to music on her headsets.
"Of course it was. This is school. What did you expect?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah but I expected to have more fun! Not just lectures about magical stuff and work problems. I wished we could have used magic," I replied. "Well at least we got to draw and write."
"Yeah but you and Scorpio were the only ones who enjoyed it."
I shrugged, rolling to the edge of the bed and sat up.
Artemis's POV
Alexa was just sitting there. The look on her face was unreadable. Weird...
She suddenly got up and started walking towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?" I asked. She stopped right in front of the door.
"I'm just going to get some fresh air. Just call me on your tablets if you need me," she replied, not even looking at me. Her eyes were just fixated in front of her as she stepped out. The rest of us stood there in silence.
"You think she's okay?" I asked.
"I hope so," Max replied. We looked at Scorpio as she sighed and stood up.
"I'm heading out as well. Anyone want to come along?" she asked. Max and I shook our head. "K," she said, disappearing in thin air. I guess she can teleport, I thought, turning my attention back to the music.
Alexa's POV
I summon my broom and get on it, flying away from the school. I might or might not have left a little gust of wind when I took off. And that gust of wind might have knocked some people down. Woops.
I sighed as I took in the view. Mythics Academia was somewhere in the hills, so not far from it was a forest. And when you've lived in the city for almost your entire life, it's nice to see some greenery.
"Speaking of the city, I should stop by the market square," I thought out loud. My increased my grip on the broom, making sure I won't fall off. It let out a small blast of grey light as I shot across the sky. Soon enough, the square came into view. As my broom slowed down, it also flew down. When I was about 6 feet above the ground, I jumped off and started walking. Not long after, my broom fell into my hands, disappearing.
The market square was filled with people, either buying or selling. Some even just looking around.
"Alright then!" I exclaimed, rubbing my hands together, "what should I get?" My eyes widened at the sight of a small cottage styled shop. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath.
"𝔄𝔭𝔭𝔞𝔯𝔞𝔱𝔢"
(Yus. I used a Harry Potter spell. Fite me)I opened my eyes be greeted with a wooden door as I fell down.
"Ow," I grumbled, rubbing my head. I got up and looked around the shop.
"Well well well, long time no see," a familiar voice greeted.
"Maurelle!" I exclaimed, my head turning to the middle aged lady. She chuckled as I hugged her, almost knocking both of us down.
"Someone hasn't been practising their magic. Much less their teleportation," she teased, closing the door.
"Haha. Very funny Maur," I replied, sarcasm lacing my voice as I rolled my eyes.
"So, how's your new school and what are you here for?" she asked, leaning against the wall.
"Um, school's going great so far. Made new friends," I said, looking around the shop. "Hey, do you have any more MP crystals in stock? Along with some potions?"
"Depends on what level and what potions you want. Why do you ask?" she questioned, going to the supply closet. "Didn't you just buy MP crystals last week? And you're a witch for wizard's sake. You very well should know how to make potions."
"Yeah but I used some of my MP crystals for, something, and I need more for this upcoming project of mind. As for the potions? One word. Roommates."
"Oh," she replied. Not long after, she came out with several crates. "Ok. So we have MP 1-25 crystals, MP 26-50 crystals or, your regular order, MP 50-1000 crystals. As for the potions, we only have 5 types in stalk today. Someone order most of them not to long ago. Your only choices are the awkward potion, the most basic one of them all. The MP potion, aka liquid MP. Love potion- I don't even know why you need that. Invisibility potion and last but not least, the knock out potion. Most of these are pretty simple and you could probably do better, but that's all we have in stalk. So, what's your pick?"
"Um, ok. I'll get the MP 50-1000 crystals. For the potions? Erm, I guess I'll take all of them. No harm in re-stalking my supplies, right?" I asked, getting out my satchel.
"Alright. That'll be, 5000C. And speaking of supplies, aren't your stuff in that small pocket dimension or something? Why can't you just make your potions there?"
"Oh yeah! I forgot about that," I replied, placing the coins on the counter. "Thanks for the help. See you soon Maur!"
~~~~~~~~~~
I just finished buying some stuff and was heading back to the academia when all of a sudden it started drizzling . God dang rain. I quickly took shelter in an alleyway (you know where this is going). It was dark and empty, no one there except me. Or so I thought.
"Heya little girl. Watcha' doing out here?" a voice said. I quickly turned around to be pinned by a tall man, causing me to drop all my bags.
"Um, I was just about to head home so can you please back off?" I asked politely, trying to avoid as much conflict. Unfortunately, he just pinned my hands over my head and whispered in my ear, "aw. How about you stay so we can have some, fun?"
At that moment, I knew shit was about to go down.
3rd person POV
Alexa looked up at the man with lidded eyes, breathing heavily.
"Wow, didn't expect you to be so submissive," he seductively growled. A mischievous grin made it's way to her face.
"Because I'm not."
All of a sudden, her staff appeared in her hands, hitting him right in the face. Alexa got all her stuff and tried to run away while the man was still on the ground. Key word: tried. Just as she was about to take off on her broom, someone lunging at her, knocking her to the ground.
"Sorry if I'm late," the new person said. The man chuckled and replied, "no problem, Jake. The more the merrier, am I right?" Alexa growled, getting up and taking her wand (told you it changes). She would have just teleported away by now, but, as shown earlier, it probably wouldn't end well.
Shit, I have to use magic, don't I? She sighed. Fuck it.
"Help!" she screamed, faking to be vulnerable. Instead, she was preparing an attack. An attack that would take all her strength to not lose everything the worked so hard to get.
"No one can hear you little girl," the cat dog man hybrid said. Just as they were about to drug her, she casted the spell. A bright light engulfed the alleyway, giving off strong waves of MP. Waves strong enough to kill. But that's not what she was going for. The spell should have knocked the two pedophiles out and wiped their memory. And once again, key word: should.
When the light faded out, Alexa was on the floor in exhaustion from using too much MP. But even if she wasn't so tired, she still would have fallen down; From shock. How are they still standing?! She thought. The only people who aren't affected by the spell are...
"Y-you guys are guardsmen?!?!" she screeched. Alexa was outraged. "Fuck you! You guys are fucking guardsmen. What the hell happened to the vow you made? Huh? The vow to serve the kingdom, to protect the royal family, to help us?!?! The citizens of Fae?!?!"
"You know, you have a lot of knowledge about us guardsmen. And as far as I know, I thought only the privileged could learn that spell," the one, apparently named Jake, said as the two circled Alexa. Just like a predator does with it's prey.
"Keep you dirty pedo(I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING 😂) hands of Alexa," someone growled. The three looked around, but no one was there.
"H-huh? Come out!" the man said. A dark chuckle echoed through the alleyway. A flash of black and red appeared. In a blink of an eye, the man was on the floor, a large cut in his abdomen. Jake ran to his partner's(not like that you gay shits (jk)) aid.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" He yelled. He turned his head to face...
"Scorpio!?"
(I'm tempted to leave this as a cliffhanger...
Nah ;p.)
Alexa's POV
There she was, right in front of me. Scorpio, holding her bloodied scythe in her hand. Her pitch black wings were spread out with her eyes glowing (eyes right Jessierandom ?) glowing red. She let out a maniacal cackle (ayyy it ryhmes) as Jake attempted to attack her, only ending in a gorey scene.
Scorpio teleported behind Jake, stabbing the tip of her scythe in his back. She repeated the action again and again, getting blood all over her clothes. When he finally fell down to his knees, she sliced his head off. A (wonderful, perfect and beautiful) clean slice (in my opinion). The man (who is STILL yet to be named) got up shakily. What an idiot. As he walked towards Scorpio, the said person turned her head towards him, grinning like a mad woman. When the man -oh to hell with it Imma call him Pedro- was an inch away, Scorpio ran past him, her scythe cutting him in half. Suddenly, the man exploded. Well, more like his body part fell down and his organs spilled out.(I am so happy right now 😁)
"Scorpio?" I called out, getting up. "That. Was... So Cool!!!!" I fan girled. After disposing of the evidence, we went back home, chatting. By that I mean I constantly asked her how she did that. When we arrived in front of the dorm, she finally snapped.
"FINE! You want to know how that happened? I'm a immortal demon reaper. I watched my parents get tortured and killed. Watched my best friend, Aya get raped and murdered. And I couldn't do anything. The night before I was sold as a slave, I traded my humanity for power with a demon reaper. I wanted to tear that pathetic lab into shreds, along with my tormenters. I did. And it felt great. Happy now!?"
She stormed off to the bathroom, probably to change clothes. I stood there, feeling guilty. I shouldn't have forced that out of her... When I stepped in, there was a lot of tension in the air.
(Scorpio when she came out (excluding the wings and scythe))
Scorpio came out and we stood there in awkward silence.
"Ice cream cones on me?" I asked. The awkwardness quickly disappeared as we went out for ice cream.
That was, longer than usual. I'm sorry if I messed something up Jessie!!! T^T
