Chapter 37: A Change In Atmosphere
Enid: I'm looking forward to this year, Blue. Especially now that we are together!
Blue: Oh yeah, I still have to learn about that side of love and that.
Evelyn: I'm sure you will learn eventually, Brother
Adam: Yeah no, he will remain clueless until he dies
Blue: Oh screw you!
We kept walking until we were really deep....but that might've been a bad idea. I felt something....it was the same vibe from before.
What vibe, you may be thinking about? Well it was something that entered my head when we arrived, and it gave me a bad feeling.
And now it was back.....and in the ground.....riiiiiight in front of us.....
WAIT, HOLD UP!
Blue: Everyone! Back! Now!
Enid: W-Wait, why?
Adam: [Catches On] Do what he says!
I grab Enid and jump back as Evelyn and Adam do the same. The ground begins to shake, and then cracks appeared as something emerges from it.
We all back up even more as this thing raises even higher. Once it was all done, we get a better look at what just arrived.....and Lord Almighty...
Evelyn: Oh Crap!
Enid: W-W-What is that?!
Blue: Oh my Lord!
Adam: That's an Old Horn!
Ah....so that's what I was sensing earlier.
But why is one here? And why didn't have to conveniently spawn now?!
Evelyn: Here?! Oh come on! Keep that demonic shit away!
Blue: Isn't that racist? To me?
Evelyn: You're my brother, so no. Oh yeah, and we share the same Dad.
Blue:.....Fair enough
Enid: B-Blue? W-W-What is that?
Blue: Something not good, from the looks of it.
Adam: We should step back a bit more, you never know what it can do
Enid: Wait, so you don't know what this is?
Blue: Perhaps, but it's best if we don't talk about this right now
Lilith: Yes, I agree. But I think you shouldn't talk about this at all.
Approaching from behind, was Lady Lilith herself. She had a somewhat serious face, but wasn't intimidated by the Old Horn at all.
Evelyn: L-Lady Lilith
Lilith: Children, go back to your dorms, this side of the forest is now forbidden to enter. Myself and the Outcast Circle will discuss new parameters to all students tomorrow.
Enid: S-Should we tell anyone?
Lilith: No, and besides, I think everyone can see......this.
Adam: Good point
Lilith: Now, go back to Nevermore
We listened to her and went back to Nevermore while she stayed in the same spot, watching the Old Horn. I wanted to stay myself because I felt a strong connection to it, but I wouldn't be allowed.
Time passes and nothing else was mentioned about this, everyone knows about the Old Horn now but they don't know what it was unlike myself. When the next day came, Lady Lilith called for an assembly meeting in the Quad, as she had to clarify some things, like the Old Horn.
Lilith: Students of Nevermore, I know you must be confused and intimated by that structure in the forest. But fear not, you are safe from it, but you are all banned from entering that side of the forest
Blue: Oh, so we can enter parts of the forest? That works for me....might have to break the rules one time.
Wednesday: Oh great, we already have restrictions.....
Lilith: Please respect and comply with the rules and focus on your education. The structure is our focus, and ours only...that is all from me, your lesson today have been halved, meaning you only have two lessons instead of four.
Evelyn: A Gift From The Gods!
Lady Lilith dismisses us, and we still had time before our fencing lesson with Coach Vlad starts. Wednesday called for myself, Evelyn, Adam and Enid to the girl's room, because she wanted to discuss with things.
When we entered the room and closed the door behind, Wednesday grabs me by the front of my hoodie and glared at me. The others were alarmed by this and Thing quickly crawls onto my shoulder.
Wednesday: You. Explain, now.
Blue: M-Me?
Wednesday: You're clearly familiar with it, so you know something
Blue:.....If I speak, I'm in trouble
Enid: Y-Yeah, I don't think I want to know about this
Adam: You're not allowed to
Wednesday: And I don't care
Thing: "Wednesday! Calm down!"
Wednesday: I am calm, I just want him to speak
Blue: Look....I can't
Wednesday: Blue....you will tell me, now
Thing: "This is going too far"
Evelyn: Wednesday, enough! This is a serious matter and it doesn't involve you!
Adam: You know what? Just tell her the name of it...and that's it
Blue: Okay, it's called and Old Horn
Wednesday: What's an Old Horn?
Blue: An Old Horn, innit
Wednesday: [Sighs] What are you hiding?
Blue: A hefty amount of information, that I won't disclose to you
Enid: Which is fine by me!
Wednesday: If you're adamant on not telling me, then I'll play along. I just felt as if you were hiding a dark secret from us
Evelyn: It's not really dark, there isn't a twist or something
Adam: God I hope not
Blue: So uhhh....we've got 5 minutes, want to head down to Fencing and that?
Enid: Yep, let's go walk and talk
Enid holds onto my arm and leads me outside while the others follow behind. During that walk, I could feel the glare of Wednesday Addams burning into the back of my head.
She really wants to know about the Old Horn, and I don't necessarily blame her. She is into that sort of thing, and the Lore is there.....but it's best if she stays out of this.
This isn't like last year, this isn't in the same category as Hydes and Men of Crack. She could get killed by getting involved, she basically did die but came back last year.
But unlike Dragon Ball Z, there is no coming back from this.
_______________________
Blue: So uhh...what do you think?
Adam: About?
Blue: About the idea that there is two big bad demons around us
We were in our Fencing lesson, and I was paired with Adam, going through fencing techniques that Coach Vlad explained a few minutes ago. Of course I am (almost) a master swordsman, but it's always nice to learn.
Adam: Two? Oh yeah, Warden is still out there. Onto that first question? Well, it's a bit mad, but we just got to move.
Blue: Yeah, but I'm ready to scrap when the time comes
Adam: You sure that you can take them on?
Blue: If I don't, who will?
Adam: Lady Lilith?
Blue: Well, I'm confident that she is stronger than Warden....I think. But the other Old Horn could hold someone that might be even stronger, you never know what the levels could be.
Adam: Fair enough. But if that's the case, then that is terrifying to think about, that's our neigbour for God's Sake.
Blue: Well he or she better have cookies to give out, or I'm going to be upset.
Vlad: Okay students! Class is dismissed, so enjoy your break!
Blue: Aight, time to dip.
It was break time now, so we left the Fencing room and entered the Quad, but the shock of the hour came when my own Mother was present...talking to Lady Lilith.
Marina: Lilith.....
Lilith: Marina, it's been too long, how are you?
Marina: I'm good, but that.....isn't good
Lilith: Naturally, but we should be fine with myself and the others
Marina: That does take the worry out of me, but I feel like we need something else
Lilith: You want me to train your son, don't you?
Marina: You were always so smart, yes, I do. You're a Demon like him, but you're more experienced, I can't teach him all the time so I'll need someone to do that for me
Lilith: Not to worry, I'll help him in my spare time. And Dracula is teaching a subject to do with Outcast abilities, that should also help
Marina: Thank you
Lilith: No need to thank me, Marina. I'm happy to help the Wife of Lupercio, he was and still is a legend to Demon Kin to this day.
Marina: I'm glad he is still seen as one.
Lady Lilith leaves and myself, Adam and Evelyn walk over to my Mother. Wednesday and Enid were watching from a distance, but slowly walked over as well.
Blue: M-Mother?
Marina: Oh, hello Blue
Blue: What are you doing here?
Marina: Well, considering that an Old Horn had just emerged from the ground. It felt like I had to be here
Blue: Fair enough
Adam: Is my Mother here as well?
Marina: No, she is at home with her Brother
Adam: Ah, okay.
Evelyn: Mother, do you know Lady Lilith like that?
Marina: No dear, I don't. She's more of an acquaintance.
Blue: But still, you do know each other in a way
Evelyn: Yeah! Do you think you can ask her to show me the dark side of Magic?
Marina: No, because she doesn't like to share such things.
Evelyn pouts and I laugh at her. At the same time, Enid and Wednesday came over as Enid greets my Mother immediately.
Enid: Hello, Mrs Light!
Marina: Oh hello Enid, how are you?
Enid: I'm good!
Marina: Is Blue treating you well?
Enid: Of course he is, Blue is too adorable to not be nice to me.
Marina: That's good to know, hello Wednesday
Wednesday: Good day, Marina. What did you and Lady Lilith talk about?
Marina: About that thing in the distance. Knowing you, despite the smallest of interactions, you forced my Son to tell you about the Old Horn
Blue: I did Q_Q
Wednesday: I wanted answers, so I got them
Blue: But, I did tell her that I wasn't going to explain anything else
Wednesday: Which was disappointing
Marina: But a good thing, you shouldn't get involved with this matter at all
Blue: And that's why I said nothing else.
Evelyn: Are you going to stay in Jericho, Mother?
Marina: No, well, I'm staying for a day, then I'm going back. I'm not needed here as Lady Lilith and the others are present, there are other Old Horns out there and I'll be involved with those.
Blue: Oh, okay. Stay safe
Marina: I will, and don't give me that face, you'll be fine without me, Blue, I'm sure of it. Now, I'm going to go make a call to Uncle Darren, so I'll see you later
My Mother leaves us and while the others began to talk to each other, I couldn't help but look at the looming figure of the Old Horn. It was in the distance and you can't miss it at all if you're in the vicinity.
The fact that a Demon is inside of it, does pose a threat, but if I can't deal with it, we still have Lady Lilith and Dracula.

A Few Days Later
_____________________
Medusa: And that's how a mirror is a Gorgon's worst nightmare, time is up so enjoy the rest of your day!
A week had passed, and our lessons have been going well. Medusa was kind and had taught us a lot about Gorgons. Mr Moore was so kind to us despite his nervous personality, and all of us agreed that he wasn't going to be Thornhill 2.0.
Dracula has helped a lot of us with controlling our abilities, the ones who have shown great improvements were Yoko, Adam, myself and Enid.
Heck, Yoko was discovering new vampire abilities that she never knew she had. With Lady Lilith's lesson, she had gone through many key events in history, and I was invested in all of it.
But halfway through our next lesson, which was with Lilith, Wednesday had a question for her....and I wasn't surprised on what she asked.
Wednesday: Excuse me, Lady Lilith?
Lilith: Yes, Wednesday?
Wednesday: I have a question that I'd like to ask you.
Lilith: Go ahead, child
Wednesday: Can you tell us about the Old Horns?
Blue: Oh noes
Lilith: And where have you heard that term from?
Wednesday: I have a source, don't worry
Blue: You used me!
Lilith: Hmm, why are you so intrigued with all of this?
Wednesday: I'm someone that enjoys the dark side of Outcasts
Lilith: Okay, I'll amuse you for a moment, what do you want to know?
Evelyn: She's actually going to tell her?
Eugene: That's going to peak her interest even more!
Enid: I hope Wednesday doesn't get into trouble later on....
Wednesday: What is an Old Horn?
Lilith: An Old Horn is an ancient structure that is linked to the Demon race.
Wednesday: What importance do they have?
Lilith: That is all I'm going to tell you
Wednesday: But that's only a little bit added on from what I've heard
Lilith: And that's all you'll get, now back to the lesson
Blue: Damn
I could tell that Wednesday was disappointed that she didn't get more, and I have a bad feeling that this will get her hurt. I had to do something, so when the lesson was over, I went to confront Wednesday where no one was watching us.
Blue: Hey Wednesday, can we....talk?
Wednesday: We can, what is it?
Blue: I just wanted to mention how you were really trying to get information about the Old Horns
Wednesday: And what if I am? Do you have a problem?
Blue: I do, I think you should stop while you can
Wednesday: Blue, you know that I like investigating this stuff. I did it last year with the Hyde and I allowed you to join me, it led to us being friends so why are you going against me?
Blue: Because this isn't it, Wednesday. You can get hurt....nah screw that, you're going to die if you delve deeper into all of this
Wednesday: What are you hiding?
Blue: A lot, because I don't want you to get hurt
Wednesday: I can handle myself, and you know that
Blue: Wednesday.....if you are to listen to me at all....just....stay away from it. Never go near it at all.
Wednesday: But-
Blue: Please, Wednesday.....I care for you.
Wednesday: [Lightly Blushes] You care for me?
Blue: Like you said, we are friends. So please don't associate yourself with that, for your own safety
Wednesday: O.....Okay. I'll stay away from it
Blue: Thank you.
I leave Wednesday so that I can go to my dorm for a bit, Adam challenged me to a few games of Budokai Tenkaichi 4. Of course I win, but he is getting better, he beat me a few times so I had to actually try in my wins.
Adam: Boi, I'm getting to you
Blue: Yeah I'll admit that you've been getting better. So I'll have to kick you back down
Adam: Oh? Is my man feeling threatened?
Blue: Nah, I don't know what you're talking about big man!
Adam: Yeah, yeah. Anyways, it's getting late, we should eat and then go to bed
Blue: Cool, what is there to eat?
Adam: Instant Noodles
Blue: Well, you know what to do. I'm not touching the cooking ting
Adam: Yeah, no one can trust you with that
Blue: It would be funny if I become a master cook in the future
Adam: The foreshadowing is mad
Adam prepares some instant noodles for us as we had our own little kitchen set up. We bought this last year because we believed it would benefit us the next year and so far it has.
I can't cook though so....I leave that to Adam.
After we did eat, I had.....a mental idea and told Adam.
Blue: Hey so I'm going to go check out the Old Horn
Adam: [Spits Out Drink] FUCKING WHAT?!
