" This is our final purchase. You will be seeing the subjects for your first year. " Alice leads us into another store where there's a pile of books arranged properly and also some are lying on the floor.
" Hi, Mary." Alice approached her like a long lost friend.
" It's been a long time since I saw you. Where have been lately?" The old woman in her sixties with more wrinkles asked her while picking a book from the floor.
" Sorry, I can't able to call you. So now Iam here to..." Alice got interrupted my Mary.
" Two Vampires and a Witch right? I will come up with their timetable." She said walking towards a cupboard.
" How...you know?" I stammered. We didn't even tell her our species.
" She knows everything." Alice proudly said and Mary returned with three papers.
" I will explain everything clearly. Sign in if you willing or I won't be responsible for your death." Death? Am I going to Academy or a war?
" I don't understand. Why
the last day went quickly. The weirdest thing I have heard is the Academy starts at night and ends in the morning. It will be the perfect timings for Vampires but not for everyone. But it's new and it will get practiced. At midnight we need to reach the Sapphire Academy. I tried not to sleep but anyways I can't control it. I fixed my alarm to wake up on time. Iam waiting for it to ring. I won't move until it makes a noise.I can feel someone standing next to my bed. I can't able to open my eyes. Iam feeling so tired." Sydney,"" Baby," I heard two voices, and Iam sure to whom the voices belong too. I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted to the dark. But there's not only Jacen and Noah standing beside me but also someone light. A candle on a cake." Sorry, I slept. But why are you holding a cake? How did you get here?" I asked once I got from my bed. It's time to get ready for the Academy but what are they doing instead of getting ready. Also, they sneaked
" Hey meet my new friends, this is Amelia," I introduced her to Jacen and Noah once we are out of the dorm room." Meet Jacen and Noah," I added. After a little chitchat and making fun of Cassie Hale, we walked to the main hall. No one is settled in their chairs. They are many first-year students and the hall is big enough to have every student in the Academy. We made our way through the crowd and spotted many empty seats." Let's go, fast," Noah urged us and looked like he wanna run the hell out of the Academy." What's wrong with you?" I asked standing in the same place. But I found what's bothering him within seconds. Cassie Hale is standing a few away from us, waving at Noah. She's in a brand new expensive gown just like I saw her for the first time. So many jewelry and make-up hides her true face and makes it looks like everything's a glamour. He uncomfortably waved back. The day he talked with her without intentions. But she still remembers him.
The student moved towards the time table in the corridor. The crowd suffocated me cause I have been practised to be alone all my life. Now, this is my new routine. Jacen held my hands until we are in front of the time table board." Hey, Talent Class is our first period taken by Queen and her sister I think so," Jacen said to four of us." So we all need to wait for our chances. Cool. We can chill down and know about each other," Amelia responded calmly brushing her hair away." It's our first class. We can't relax. The Queen will know our strength and abilities from this class only. I can't relax." Leona firmly said while we make our way to the waiting room. As there are many students in the first class, it may take this whole night. After taking seats in another hall, I stayed silent waiting for the new next moment in my life. I twirled my hair and did it again and again, the time passed away but no students have been called yet.
I am glad that the Queen understands me. But her power looks the same as me. I already knew the royal witches always have blue magic which is rare for normal witches. I think Iam one of the rare ones. Queen Victoria's is much amazing and fantastic than mine. I never know someone has the power to reverse something." Hey, Sydney. Did you score well?" Amelia appeared in front of me when Iam out of the room." Yeah, it has gone pretty well. I was the one who scored for myself. I will explain it later," I winked at her. Then she nodded and excited went inside without any fear. She seems to be a pretty cool and carefree werewolf. I have got a good wolf roommate.I came back to the same place where the time table board was kept. Now I got a magic portion class. So neither of my friends is my classmate. I need to go alone and make some friends there. After getting my portion book from the dorm room, I walked to my new class absent-mindedly and bumped into someone
She removed her hands from mine and wiped her hands with her handkerchief like she touched some dirt." I expected you to bow down. Well, you didn't. Nevermind, Just give me the liquid." Why she's thinking I will give it to her. She can be a princess but I don't mind it." I won't," I crossed her away tossing my hair back." How dare you?" She shouted." Don't you know any other words than 'How dare you?' It's boring just change it," I imitated her voice and chuckled a little without control. I sat next to Sebastian again." You should have not talked like that. She will go mad," he advised me while seeing the liquid." Whatever, Now what will you do without the Lavender essence?"" You saw the description right. Half of the bottle is enough for per person. We can share it," he opened it and poured half of it in his bottle without waiting for my reply."Um...okay,"" Now all give your books and do it on your
Jacen moved away from her disgustfully. Anger flashed in his eyes when he sees her after she kissed him. His eyes softened once he saw me." Sydney, I didn't mean to..."" Nothing. Sorry, I was the one who interrupted you. I should go now." I turned away and tried my level best to act cool. I should have not shouted in the hall like that.I don't care about that Girl.I don't care about that girl.I told myself these lines many times and suddenly Jacen grabbed my hands and stopped me from running away." Leave me alone," I growled trying to get rid of his touch but he had a firm grip on my hands." Please, Baby. Let me explain it," He pleaded holdingme still in a place." Don't you dare call me baby. Call her like that." I snapped. Actually Iam, not even his girlfriend and he is not mine. Then why am I grieving so much for seeing him with another girl and why is he trying to explain it to me. I don't want it. I need
" Oh gross, I will wait outside. Please dress up,"" You should have told me you have a boyfriend," She muttered and left the room. Amelia entered the room with a bodyguard after a minute." Who's he? What's going on here?" I asked raising my eyebrow." See this video mam and come with me to see the Queen," the bodyguard in full black suit and sunglasses told me holding an iPad.A video played of me in the magic portion class with other students. When Cassie went to get the last ingredients I came to her place and added something into it." I never did something like this. What is heck is this?" I shouted and raised my hand to crack the iPad." Whatever, this video proves you sabotaged the princess work. So you need to meet the Queen. No one should behave like this a very first day," I lifted my hands to slap him even though he got nothing to do with this except showing this video." Calm down, baby. We can sor
After two days, I loved this Academy more than anything. Talking with classmates, making friends, and learning new things is amazing. I can't believe, I can finally feel alive." Wake up, sleepyhead. We have a history class, Amelia," I shouted at her taking the pillow away from her." I hate history whether it's in the human world or Slateville. Let me sleep," she slept again before she can finish talking. After so many attempts, I woke her up. Seriously, it's hard to have a lazy wolf roommate. She's still pleading me to let her sleep while leaning on my shoulder. When the opened the door, she slipped from my grip and I fell on someone's familiar arms.Jacen caught me and Noah caught her." Gross, get off me," she moved four feet away from him. I can't understand why she's always keeping distance between boys." I told you. History's boring, witchmate," Amelia said in the middle of the class seated next to my bench." It's not for me,"
Sydney's POV:We all are speechless. My mom and dad don't know about anything that happened in hell. They are looking at me for answers. I'm looking at Jacen. How am I going to answer them in front of Cassie? Dorothy's dead. Those demon girls killed her. It's not their fault. They helped us. Dorothy tried to kill us all. She had the wrong motive. We don't." I killed her." Jade boldly told like she did a great job." What? why did you do that? Why...you murderers..." she sobbed and fell down on her knees. Jade should have not spoken harshly to her. No matter how much I hate her. I know her pain. I had the pain of losing my parents. Atleast I got them back but she won't." What happened in hell, Sydney? How did you get out? I don't understand anything. Who're that two girls? Why did they kill Dorothy? You need to explain a lot." my mom filled me with many questions. It all needs to be answered." I will fill you with everything, mom. We
Sydney's POV:Two days later:Time has gone way too fast. Everything's back to normal. Jacen died and I brought him back. But that guilt of watching him die is still killing me. It won't fade away in a day. It may take a longer time to heal. But what matters the most is everyone I loved is safe and sound. I also brought Lydia and Mason back. Things that seem too impossible happened in a way I never expected it to happen. I only thought of one thing. If I win, Lilith needs to bring back the life of Lydia and Mason and get us back to Slateville. But I was the one who did it all. Somehow, that demon helped me to get all of this. If she didn't take all the powers from Lilith, I wouldn't have got the powers to bring their lives back. Now it happened. We are back in the greatest witch house. Jacen told that's where they found the portal to hell. But I heard one bad news, that so-called greatest witch died after a few days. Nina told us. She should rest in peace. She li
Jacen's POV:" Get your hands off my neck, idiot. I can kill you in a flash of seconds. Back off now," Sydney warned me. I stepped back, by keeping all the anger inside me. We are so close to escaping from hell. But what's the use in running away without Sydney. That's not going to happen even in the parallel universe." So, you are not going to give her body back," I muttered." Nope. Never." she smiled at me." Then this will have to do to get Sydney back," I murmured and picked up the stake. We killed Dorothy and Pamela. They don't get a chance to kill us with this stake. Maybe I could kill myself. I know I sound crazy. But watch me." What are you doing, bro? Put the stake down." Noah ordered me. I can see the fear in his face. Right now, he would have known that I'm going to go something which harms my life.I turned back to face Sydney. To face that demon who's staying in my girlfriend's body. " I know you can hear me, baby. I know you
Jacen's POV:" I will not surrender no matter what. Do whatever you can. I'm not giving up, Succubi," Lilith boldly told. But she doesn't use the name Sydney. It's clearly not my Sydney." If that's your decision, then I can gladly proceed to the further process," Sydney said, lifting her hands. This time I didn't saw the blue flame. Instead, her palms observed all the power from Lilith. the flame slowly and steadily travelled from Lilith to Sydney. Sydney doesn't have any powers to observe other powers." What the hell is happening? What is she doing? Answer me," I shouted at Lydia. She must have to know the answer." I don't know. I never saw something like this in my whole life. Sydney's born in a royal family. But I don't think she knows to steal someone's power. Whoever's controlling her must be stronger and must have lived for many centuries. We did a big mistake by finding a way to open this door. Now, I don't even have my powers
Sydney's POV:I spotted a single hammer on the left side. I lifted it and looked at the mirror." I think we should not break it. That will release all the souls in this room. Do you think this is a good idea?" Grandpa asked her." This is the only thing we can do. Do you have any better idea?" Grandma asked him. I stood with the hammer, letting them decide something. Suddenly, some unknown voice ringed in my ears." This is a good idea. Do it. I will have my revenge on Lilith. I can't wait for it to happen. I will make sure she will end up dead."" Who's that?" I asked approached a mirror next to the mirror where my grandparents are standing." She's Succubi. This is what I'm talking about. Releasing a soul like hers will bring a problem to Sydney. We can't let someone harm our granddaughter." Grandpa told sternly. She looked dangerous, evil and hot just like Lilith. I have zero per cent of trust in her." So, what are we
Sydney's POV:I don't want to die. Lilith is desperate to kill me. But now I know why she's hesitating to do that. Whatever Jacen heard in that guest room is right. She's not going to kill me until I accept to give all my powers to her which Iam going to do that. I can rather die. I couldn't hide forever. I can't able to fight her. It's been an hour. She's strong as she looks at the beginning of the fight. Iam looking so tired, powerless, hopeless and helpless. I can't spot any of my friends. I can't even imagine them being dead. No. They won't. They can't die. If they aren't dead why can't spot them anywhere? Why didn't they came to find me? What if something wrong happened? Right now, Iam halfway to the hall of mirrors. Can I reach it in time?" Stop running, darling. You have two choices. Come and give me your powers instead of hiding. Or run as much as you can until I find you. My first option will be easier for you. You won't feel the pain while Iam killing you. D
Jacen's POV:" How dare you...Pheobe doesn't need to get burnt like that. You are a heartless bitch," Sydney shouted from the top of my throat. I can still hear Phoebe's scream and Mason's cry. It's cruel. I can't control Mason or assure him in this state. He's on the floor crying so hard for losing his sister." This is going to be your situation and everyone's situation," Lilith told Sydney and snapped her hands as the guards and skull men's marched after us." This isn't good. Sydney can't manage Lilith on her own. I need to help her." I panicked and stepped forward instead of running away from the guards." No, this is not the right time. If we mingle in the fight, it will destroy our whole plan. Let Sydney find the hall of mirrors. We need to run." Noah wisely advised. We all ready to run but Mason was desperate. He's not willing to run. We can't let him stay and run." Mason, get up. We can deal with the issue later." I urged him.
" She's such a stupid witch. She's trying to raise her voice against us even after I killed her. What a stupid persons?" I talked with Dorothy while walking on our way back to the guest room. Dorothy stopped from hurting Lydia as I already hit her to the unconscious stage. I did the best to protect us." Yeah. Leave it. What were we talking before hearing that scream?" Dorothy asked to my astonishment. She still remembers that. That's good. I got one thing to tell Dorothy in my mind voice ' You are the real stupid who can't identify the person you are talking with. You can only identify it if you really know them and care for them. Dorothy never cared for anyone than Cassie. That's the bitter truth." You said that the hall of mirrors is on the ground floor. But you didn't say what spell you used? I must have known the spell. Iam a great witch too." I said proudly about myself." It's Anoíxte ti mystikí pórta. You know that right?" she quest
Jacen's POV:" Pamela's unconscious. I hope Sydney finishes her job as soon as she can." I muttered to myself. My brother and Amelia are taking care of Mason and Pheobe while Kassidy, Lydia, Jade and I are watching Pamela. I'm worried about my girlfriend. I don't know how she's managing her time with Dorothy. What if that cunning bitch found out that it's not Pamela but Sydney? The worst-case scenario." Oh, god! She's waking up." Kassidy frowned." We can manage her. She's tied-up. She can't escape no matter how much she tries." I assured her." Don't forget that Iam here. I can beat and knock her out again."" I already told you not to do that, Jade. That's my girlfriend's body. I don't want you to harm her body." I scowled." Whatever. Don't ask me if she makes a problem again. My job is done here. I will meet you all tomorrow. Don't forget the deal or you can't deal with the consequences. You know what I mean," Jade warned me and slammed
