Jessica's P.O.V

A door across the hall opened with a creak and I gulped. My tears had slowed down and I lifted up my head to face the direction of the opening door, the few remaining tears breaking my vision of the surrounding light, making it all look kaleidoscope-like. "W-who's there?" I stuttered cautiously. I stood up slowly and pressed my back up against the wall near the door to my magicks classroom. There was complete silence in the hallways. Confusion filled my head and it started to hurt a bit and I gulped once more. "Hello?" I called out once again. Then, someone stepped into my vision. He had an orange fox hoodie pulled up over his head with tufts of black hair poking out of under it and a pair of glasses were perched on the tip of his nose. He lifted his wrist up to his lips and his mouth moved, but I couldn't hear any sound come out from him.

Sly.

He stared at me, dead in the eyes. Neither one of us dared to blink or move. Then, out of the blue, a smile graced his once thinned lips. I just stood there in disbelief. Why after a year would they come back?!

"Jess," He breathed, running over to me and engulfing me into a warm hug. I just stayed there, frozen in place.

"S-Sly..."
