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
Nyx's POVMy instinct was right after all, Penelope sat at the farthest corner of the class watching me suspiciously.She must be wondering who I was or was Narin's magic fading already?I stared at the wall clock in class, I still had about 10 minutes before all the accessories on me disappear. Seeing the class was not coming to an end anytime soon, I stood up from my seat and asked to be excused.Mrs Springwood only waved her hands to grant me permission, I walked out of class after giving Narin a knowing smile.I had just entered the restroom when someone barged in after me, Penelope? What does she want now?"Hey Newbie, I see you just got transferred, did Miss Pendleton make arrangements to show you around Salvador?" She requested and I stared at her with raised brows.Wait, she could not tell it was me? Wow, Narin is the real deal when it comes to transformation."Of course" I replied and she stretched her hands for a handshake, "I'm Penelope Cruz, a witch like you and I have a d
Nyx's POV "You stole their money?" "You robbed some humans of their wealth?" I and Narin exclaimed simultaneously, our eyes widened in disbelief. Clyde could not hold himself from erupting in a fit of laughter at our reaction to their successful loot. "What's the big deal? The humans have so much to spare, we just made away with a few, no biggie" Elrond shrugged and bent to pick up the money alongside Cindy and Bonnie who looked excited at the sight of so many funds. "But this is wrong, I mean we are not supposed to steal from.." "Let me stop you right there princess" Elrond stopped me halfway and pulled up some money. "These.." he waved it in the air, "were not stolen" "That's right Nyx" Gus supported Elrond, "Clyde and El here just collected a little out of the many, humans possess" "Besides, the funds are necessary for the adventure we are about to embark on" Hawar added. "You guys probably took these away from them forcefully" Narin spat, eyeing the cash on the floor wit
Nyx's POV I had just had another crazy ride of my life on the Rockefeller skating rink. Clyde is a pro for sure and he never let go of my hands throughout our time on the ice. "I can't afford to have you get hurt, you are too important to your pack and to me as well" Clyde had said with burning cheeks while on the rink. It was such an exciting experience, I even opted to stay longer but was denied as time was moving too fast. We can't risk letting anyone in school know about our absence especially Miss Pendleton and the guardian and so we had to return to Salvador before curfew. Clyde signaled all of us to go into the nearest bathroom and we complied, making sure to enter without dragging attention to ourselves. Clyde and I were the first to go in followed by Narin and Gus. I noticed Clyde's face, he seemed disturbed by something but I didn't ask about it, I just left him to his thoughts with the hope that he will open up soon. Hawar and Bonnie entered next, giggling and talk
