Otis's POVI winced in pain while dabbing my swollen head with a bag of ice packs. I keep underestimating that stupid warlock of a teacher. How is it possible that I could not raise a single mark on his body while mine is covered with sores and bruises? There must be something more to him that he is not letting everyone see and I will get to the root of this.He might not even be a warlock like everyone presumed but whatever it is that he is, I will make sure I come out victorious and show him his place in this Academy."Argg, fuck this, it's so painful" I groaned in pain as I placed the icepack on my blue eyes.The door to the room opened and Greg walked in alongside Dylan who was complaining in disdain about what I have no idea might be the problem."Who is that tiny wench by the way? How could she spill something as distasteful as this on my priceless shirt" Dylan growled."Seeing that she walks around with pig's blood, I'm suspecting she is a vamp. I could smell her sunscreen as
Nyx's POV The next morning, I got to class before the history teacher since we would be having a lecture on history and Ethics by Mrs McMillan.I pulled out my tablet from inside my bag and got busy scrolling through the topic that I presumed would be taught today.I was so engrossed in the article I was reading and did not take note of when someone sat beside me."What's so interesting about what you are reading?" A humour-filled masculine voice said beside me but I didn't bother to look at his face."I don't see how that is your concern, but if you must know, then I'm going through the topic for today" I replied flatly."Woah, Why sounding so aggressive" he chuckled, "tell me, what is the topic today all about?" He sounded interested in knowing more."History of Sorcery, activities and Extinction. If you don't mind mister, go take a look at all you need to know about this topic from your tablet" I told him off and finally took my face off my tablet to stare at the young man who is
Nyx's POVI turned to Clyde as soon as Mrs. McMillan left the class, "What happens to students that fail?" I asked curiously."What? Don't tell me you haven't read that part in Salvador Academy's book of conduct. I thought you were a bookworm" he returned and I glared at him."Well duh, you thought wrong about me. Quick give me an answer""Did you throw your book of conduct out through the window?" Clyde asked with a goofy smirk"I'm not just into rules, rule books and all that. It's still in my shelf though, I will go through it later" I replied and he shrugged."Then find the answer to your question when next you remember to go through the conduct book" he smirked."Clyde.." I growled warningly, earning a loud cackle from him."Just kidding princess. There is nothing much about failing in Salvador I guess. Only that you have to remain in school while the others leave for holidays.One must complete every course outline and pass well before he or she can be promoted to the next class
Chapter 78Nyx's POVI hurried down to the cafeteria and was glad to see that Clyde and Narin together with the other members of the rebels reserved a seat for me."You are late today" Mrs Zaffron commented as soon as I came to place my order."Right" I chuckled slightly, "I had something to take care of. Let me have the meal from last time again""Coming right up" she sang, twirling her hands in the air, "I haven't seen you for days princess, I hope all is well" she raised a conversation as she piled my plate with food."Of course, everything is good. I just didn't come to the cafeteria to eat meals because I had a project I needed to focus on. Besides, my roommate always got me food and so I did not starve" I lied smoothly without blinking an eye."Here you go" Mrs Zaffron said and pushed the tray of meal towards me, "Enjoy" she beamed and I returned her smile before making a beeline to where Narin sat with the rebels."Hey, what took you so long?" Clyde bellowed, tapping the space
Nyx's POV"What is going on between you and Narek?" Narin asked in a serious tone.I repeatedly blinked at her sudden question, "I.., I don't..""Don't bother denying it Nyx, I saw both of you hugging after class" She dropped the bombshell and my eyes widened."I was only coming to get you to join us for lunch since you were taking time to show up in the cafeteria, nothing more" she added and I sighed in defeat."Listen, Narin, you are seeing things wrongly" "Wrongly?" She repeated with a scoff, "How wrong, Nyx? Explain it to me, I promise I will understand. Penelope told me that you are in a romantic relationship with the teacher, I didn't believe her at first, I thought she was wrong until I found the both of you hugging passionately, right after class.She also mentioned that you leave the dormitory every night to meet with the young teacher. I doubted this at first, but after witnessing what occurred between the both of you today, doubting it would only be foolish of me," Narin
Nyx's POVNarin slept off as soon as we got into the dorm after crying a river.I didn't mean to open up closed wounds, it just.. came about. Also, I won't deny that ever since she told me about her brother, I've been curious to know why she was accused of murdering him, and with her explanation, I would say it was a costly mistake.I glanced at the clock on my side table and decided it was time I start leaving for my training session with Narek. The idea of handling sticks as part of my training got me slightly apprehensive but as Narek said, I needed to train hard to be able to face Bel Incase she turns out aggressive on my next visit.I grabbed a long brown coat from my wardrobe and taking a last glance at Narin whose chest rose and fell in a gentle sleep, I slipped out of the room making sure to lock the door properly behind me.The cold evening breeze caressed my face tenderly, causing my hair to fly all over the place as I made my way into the woods. As I got closer to the an
Nyx's POV "Rise and shine pumpkin, it's a new day!" Narin's excited voice pierced through my ear, cutting my beauty sleep short. I forced my right eye open and groaned in frustration, "get away" I whined and covered my entire body with my comforter. My eyes were still heavy with sleep and my joints felt so weak and heavy too, who knows training could be this hectic? I can hardly feel my hands. The comforter I used in covering myself was suddenly yanked away from my body. I opened my eyes to see Narin staring down at me with my left hand on her waist and the other, holding my comforter firmly. I glared at her and curled into a ball to continue sleeping. Narin smiled smugly, "What happened yesterday? You came back worn out and exhausted" Narin commented, not giving me the chance to bask in the comfort of my bed. "How was training?" She beamed bouncing on my bed. "Horrible" I mumbled and faced away from her. "Horrible? No way. There's no way your training with that hottie co
Nyx's POV I walked inside the class long after Narin entered so as not to raise suspicions. As she had said before now, I could not recognize myself after her transformation on me. My platinum coloured was turned into a pretty shade of ginger red and I had freckles on my face. She made me wear braces and some nerdy glasses to match, "Remember, you can only keep up with this identity for just an hour. You don't want me to explain what will happen to you when that time elapses" she had said to me in a croaky tune. I felt like Cinderella, a princess I read about as a little girl back then at home. I had snuck into the palace library to get the book to keep myself busy after Mom grounded me for going out to the streets on my own. To my relief, I did not bring much attention to myself as I made my way to sit just behind Narin. She couldn't stop herself from chuckling non-stop at my new looks. The Herbology teacher walked into the class and pointed at a corner in the classroom wher
