Atacia’s POV:
Jesus! I was almost caught!
I am now above the tree when I hear the shout of one of the guards.
"Find that student!" One of the school guards shouted. I'm so stupid. I didn't activate my invisibility power so as I was walking away one of the guards saw me, so I ran. His fellow guards are chasing me.
"We can't find her." One answered so the heads of the guards were pissed
"Come on! Let’s go that way!" He shouted so his comrades immediately followed him.
When they were far away, I can finally breath easily. When I made sure no one else could see me, I went down. I walked fast. Honestly, I don’t know where I’m going or where I’m going to start looking. Especially since I can't trace or track the tracking spell I put on the katana.
I stopped walking to see the familiar subdivision I had entered. And from where I stand, I can see our house.
<Atacia's POV: "No." I asnwered for the hundredth time. "Atacia please! Don't be so hard-headed!" Drake yelled at me. "I already said no." I answered him. Wanna know what we're arguing about? Oh well, after he called me, I thought he's going to ask my condition-- I mean our condition, but turns out he scolded me. "You need to come back so come on!" He shouted again. He wants to come back. But I can't leave my sister. Especially since mt enemies is just around. "Hey! Are you with us?!" He shouted again so I couldn't stop myself from shouting at him too. "CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP?! CAN YOU PLEAE LET ME REST FIRST?! I'M TIRED!" I shouted at him too. "I'M TIRED DRAKE! PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY! Please? I already loose one of my family because I left them. I'm not doing the same mistake again."
Atacia’s POV:"WHAT?!" I screamed."Um-yeah. So, you're going to do it." Ms. Anthea said."What for?" I asked."Hmm. I wonder what for?" She said and even acted as if thinking of a reason then snapping her fingers in the air as if she had already thought of the reason. "Because you can't control your charms." She said that made my eyes widened.“What?!” She interrupted what I was going to say."Remember when you almost drain the water inside the body of your opponent?" She said so I averted my eyes.“That was an accident. He made me angry. "I replied to her."And how about the scene where you almost kill your classmate by taking the air inside him?" She added so I bowed down and didn't answer."See. That's what I'm talking about. I'm doing
Atacia’s POV: "AGAIN!" Drake shouted for the 30th time before getting to his position. I inhaled deeply before clearing my mind again and tried to do what he wants me to do. "Clear your mind first. Then absorb it." He says. I tried to feel it and when I felt something I immediately absorbed it. "STOP!" He shouted so I was released it. "Wrong again! Can you please remind me what your goal is?!" He asked angrily. Oh wow. Does he really need to shout?! "I said, tell me what your goal is!" He shouted again so I startled a bit. "To find the energy coming from you and absorb it." I said while looking at the floor, not meeting his gaze. "That's it. You know. Why don't you do that?! I said my energy! Not the room's energy!" He shouted again. "I'm trying to do it." I said in a lo
Atacia's POV: "It's a love potion." I said. Liam's mouth hang open, I heard Cassie, who is beside me, gasped in shock. "Wait wait I-- I don't understand." He said. "Well, it is." I said. Liam turned to me and took big steps towards me. I thought what he was going to do so I positioned myself, but he knelt in front of me, so I stood up straight. "Atacia, I know you know I won't do that. I swear to God it's not me. Believe me it's not me. I swear." He said as if about to cry. "Even if Drake will die today." He added so I burst out laughing. Drake's reaction is inexplicable. I even got on my knees laughing. "You ... pfft ... HAHAHAHA ... A-actually ... HAHAHA. Wait give me 5 seconds." I said and continued laughing. When the 5 seconds ended, I stopped laughing but still small laughs is coming out from me. I looked at them and ... o
Atacia’s POV: "Hey Cia!" "Come on kiss!" I screamed in shock. "Ha? Come on? I'm already here then come? I knew it you're not really listening." Ate Aleah said. "Oh. I'm sorry. What are you saying?" I just asked. It's good because Ate Aleah's hearing is Come on. She didn’t hear the last word. I'm here now in her room 'cuz y not? Nah just kidding. I'm here because I didn't go to her last night. And speaking of last night… "Do you have a problem? You're spacing out. Care to share?" She asked curiously. "Nothing." I answered still thinking about what happened last night. "Oh, really? You’re not fooling me?" Teasingly said Ate. "He kissed me." I said in a whisper. "Huh? What’s that?" She asked. "He kissed me." I repeat.
Atacia’s POV: "MS. MONTREAL ARE YOU LISTENING?!" I was able to sit up when I heard the shout of our prof. "Yes ma'am." I answered suddenly. It was too late for me to realize what I had answered. Oh no! I shouldn't have said yes because next to that was-- "Well, if you are listening, can we forever use our charms?" Asked by Mrs. Clawhacker. And that is what I'm saying. Mrs. Clawhacker is one of the terrors prof. of the Academy. Because of her being so strict. And when she goes to class, you really have no choice but to listen because she seems to have swallowed a megaphone with the loudness of her voice. I was shaken slightly before standing up and answering. "No Maam." I answered. Although I'm not sure if it is the correct answer. "Why?" She asked again. "Because it has its limitation. If it is overused, it can make you
Atacia’s POV: "I need someone to welcome the royal families tomorrow." Ms. Anthea. "And?" Julia asked with matching raised eyebrows. What if I shave your eyebrows huh? "I need the Alpha team to do it. You're the one I trust here. Especially you Ms. Montreal since you're the queen of the Academy." She answered then looked at me and smile. "So will you accept it?" She asked. I first looked at the other members who were waiting for my answer before sighing. "Yes." I answered. "Good. They'll be here at 6 a.m. So be prepared. That's all. You may go to your classes now." Ms. Anthea said before returning to what she was doing. I let them all out first because I have more questions for Ms. Anthea. "Did the officers already know?" I asked. "No. It's up to you to say." Sh
Atacia’s POV: "Your highnesses, welcome to Heather Academy!" Introduction by Ms. Anthea. I was just listening as I watched Drake happily talking to Princess Zephyra. The joy was obvious in his eyes. And for some inexplicable reason it was as if something was pinching my heart as I looked at him. That's why he wasn't there yesterday. Huh. "I hope you enjoy your stay here in the Academy." I just come back to myself when I hear applause. I just looked to the front but seemed to be pulling my gaze back to Drake. "Now now, I believe the Queen of Zephyr Kingdom have some announcement? Your highness." Ms. Anthea said. The queen of Zephyr kingdom just smiled before standing up. "I would like to announce that my daughter, Princess Zephyra, is engaged with the prince of the Terra Firma Kingdom, Prince Drake Fortalejo." I was stunned there. My eyes automatically went to Dr
Julia’s POV: I kept laughing every time I remember Aleah's reaction. I'm actually with my former team and the other royalties. "If you don't stop, I swear I'll strangle you." Annoyed Aleah said and glared at me. "Come on Juls stop teasing her." Atacia laughed at me. "Can you blame me? It really is funny! If only you saw her reaction when my cousin whispered behind her." Still laughing I said. "Okay that's it." She said and suddenly stood up. I immediately backed away while still laughing. But she suddenly stopped when our special guest arrived. "Hello everyone. I'm sorry I'm late." His deep voice echoed in our now silent room. All the women were amazed at how handsome this cousin of mine was. "Guys! I want you to meet, Elliot Evangelista. My cousin." I said and shouldered Kuya Elliot. He smiled at me and kissed the side of my h
Aleah’s POV: "Tita Ale! Tita Ale!" The twins called me while jumping. I laughed at their hyper personality. I don't even know who they inherited that from. "What is it kiddo?" I asked. "Can we buy an ice cream?" Tiacia said with matching puppy eyes. "Please? Tita Ale?" Draco added. "But your mom said you can't eat ice cream for now. You guys are so hyper." I said and laughed. "Cia! Your kids want to buy an ice cream!" I called out for Cia. "No! If you do that, then they’ll be more hyper." She said and peeked in our room. "Mommy please!!! Just this once!" Draco said. They insisted. "Fine fine. Just this once, okay?" She said. The two kids immediately nodded. "Fine. You can go." She said that made the kids scream in victory. They immediately pulled me awa
Dear Heatherians, Congratulations! You've reached the end of the Heather Academy! I want to thank you all for being with me during my journey in writing Heather Academy: School of Fighters. Thank you for giving me inspirations and giving me thousands of reasons to continue writing. The truth is, when I started writing my first story, which is this story, I always doubt myself. And always question myself. Can I do this? Can I meet the reader's expectations? Can I get their attention? Will anyone support me? Will I still bleed or should just stop writing? But then I realized, with or without readers, I should keep on bleeding. I should keep on writing. Because I'm not writing to impress. I'm writing to express. It doesn't matter if I do not reach the reader's expectation, instead, expect the unexpected.
Atacia’s POV: "Hey! Give me that! I touched it first so it's mine!" "No this is mine! You lost it and I found it. Now it's mine." "Mommy! Tiacia is taking my toys!" "No, I'm not! Mom he lost it and then I found it. It's founders keepers Draco." I chuckled when I heard them fighting again over a toy. "Now now settle down kids. Don't fight it's just a toy." I said as I entered their playroom while carrying a tray full of cookies and two glasses of milk. "But Mom that's my favorite toy!" Draco whined. "Tiacia, you heard Draco. It's his favorite toy. Give it back." I calmly said and put the tray on the table between them. "But Mom I like it! Plus, he lost it and I found it." Tiacia answered, hugging the teddy bear tightly. "Then why don't you just share it?"
Third Person's POV: "Atacia!" Simultaneous shouts of those who saw. The Dark Knights suddenly disappeared. The students, teacher, all Heatherians ran closer to the ravine. They peeked at it but saw nothing but a black water flowing hard. This is what they call the river of the black. "Look!" A student shouted while pointing at the Phoenix who's flying towards their direction. She landed right in front of them and gently landed Atacia. Her head was about to hit a stone luckily the Phoenix caught her on time using its beak, she pulled Atacia up. Aleah would have approached it, but Phoenix blocked and gave them a bad look. Everyone was scared and grabbed their weapon in case Phoenix attacked them. "It's okay. She's just protecting her summoner." Queen Helia said and stepped forward. The Phoenix, also glared at her as if she didn't care if she knew the Queen. "Nix, it's me. Helia.
Third Person’s POV: "I am going to kill you, Atacia Montreal." The sky went dark, the trees and grass dried, and a cold wind blew, sending shivers down to their spines as they watch the Queen summon something. Something dangerous, something scary, something deadly and venomous. "I-It's ..." Zephyra couldn't finish her sentence because of the fear that is building up inside her. "No way." Both Akira and Terren said. "This can't be happening." Said by Adrian. "This is dangerous." Kayda said and held tight to her sword. "What the hell?" Julia said before looking at her other teammates. Fear can be read in their faces. "The Black Snake." Drake and Liam said. Stood in front of them all, is the darkest creature of the Charm World, summoned by the Black Queen, the Black Snake. The soun
Third Person's POV: "Soy Hestia Phoenix. Ven a mí, mi preciosa criatura." After Atacia or Hestia said those words, she was enveloped in a dazzling light. Everyone was dazzled and stuck in the attack. It also caught the attention of the queen, her daughters Sam and Vivian, as well as the three elderly soothsayers. Atacia felt something burning at her back. It feels like something wanted to come out. "Don't fight it. Don't resist. Let it flow. Let it come out." Atacia opened her eyes and saw a woman, that looks exactly like her, covered in flames. It was like this was the fire version of herself. It offered her hand to Atacia and smiled. "You summoned me, Hestia. Now, let's finish this." It said to her. Atacia looked at her before looking at her hand. She took a deep breath and took her hand. Everyone covered their eyes when the light coming from Cia grew brighter, followed by
Atacia’s POV: "Let the fun begin." I whispered and rushed. The Dark Knights released at least twenty (20) dark puppets and attacked at us. I effortlessly sliced it in half. I flipped back twice to avoid the bomb they threw at my side. Using the rocks scattered on the side I made it like a shell so that the contents of this bomb would not spread. I attacked the Knights and rushed at them. They also rushed at the same time. And of course, I knew they weren’t fair to fight so instead of fighting with my sword I used my charms. I made air blades and air daggers and threw it at them. Some hit directly on the heart, others on the leg, arm, or thigh. Others were just touched. "You idiots! Kael! Finish that woman!" The queen shouted at her right hand. "Yes, dear queen. Your wish is my command." He answered before drawing his sword and walking closer to me. I just stayed in my place, waiting for him to appro
Atacia’s POV: "Depends on the question." Smiling I said. So, I received electricity from the handcuffs attached to me. The cuffs I made have evolved well. "I'm simply asking you. In return, we will not move the Academy. If I am not happy with your answer, all the people who are important to you will be lost. Even the Academy." Said Sam. I rolled my eyes at her "Are you stupid? Or are you just stupid? The Academy is not human." I said. I received electricity again. "Let's stop this nonsense and just get to the question. Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked me. I just smiled at her who was obviously annoyed. "I don’t know. Why don't you look for it?" My answer. Compared to before, now I received stronger electric shock. "Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked again. "Just kill me." My answer. Again,
