"Thanks for practicing with me." Cal smirked at me, making butterflies fly around in my stomach.
"Anytime." I smiled back, pushing my hair behind my ear. "Sorry we couldn't practice more."
Half way through, or really like a quarter of the way in, I had to switch with Elezen. She couldn't handle Auggie's fire, and the boys refused to even think of being each other's partners. Elezen didn't seem to have any quarrels about the switch either. She seemed exhausted, after trying to control Auggie's flames. It wasn't exactly easy for me to do, but I was starting to get the hang of it now. By the end of the hour, his flames felt like an old friend.
"It's fine, maybe next time it can be just us?" Cal winked at me,

Jesse's P.O.V.The incessant buzzing of my alarm, woke me in a sour mood. Damon had told me that he would be letting everyone know that we were dating now. There would be no more secret relationship, although after what he pulled yesterday, if it were up to me, there would be no us, secret or otherwise. Damn that video. Damn my perverted body, and poor decision making skills.I groaned as I got off the bed, letting my arms lazily hang around me. I dragged my feet to my closet, grabbing a clean uniform. I hate these things so much. I tried wearing the boys uniform once and got in a lot of trouble. I thought it was ridiculous, but dad wasn't pleased. So here I am, wearing someone's wet fantasy. Honestly I think Damon loves it, which now makes it a million times worse now..I hate hi

Ares' P.O.V.I went to the training grounds, knowing that Jesse would be there from the vision I had yesterday. I plan to let it play out and interfere only if I have to. I want to know what's going on, but I'll follow my dad's advice. I will wait for Jesse to tell me what's wrong. I just hope it's soon, because the worry is really eating away at me.Between Jesse's problem, and finding out I'm in love with Nova, who's in love with my brother, I'm feeling like a complete mess. My mind and heart can't take anything else at the moment. Including my dad's letters. Yesterday's letter tore my heart down the middle. On the one hand, I loved hearing from him in a way. On the other hand, it only made me miss him more.My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm curious what my

Nova's P.O.V."You seem like you're in a good mood." Manny smiled at me as we walked past the waterfall that cascades down the front of the building."I guess." I shrugged my shoulders.I was honestly feeling guilty for sitting with those as.sholes yesterday. I hated to think of them making fun of Arie and Auggie behind their backs. I've come to realize what a big target they have on their back in the shadow colony. I hadn't realized growing up, but shadow weavers are extremely driven by who's the strongest. I feel like it's worse than the wolves with their alphas."You're usually more affectionate when you're in a good mood or when you feel bad. Seeing as you're not actually in a good mood, what are you feeling bad for

Jesse's P.O.V. God, Auggie is so annoying! He's so damn protective for no reason. Stubborn as.shole. I trained most of this afternoon so I decided to skip my training class today. Letting my teacher, Al, know through an email, and he was fine with it, knowing I wouldn't lie. He also knew there wasn't much he could teach me that I didn't already know. Funny to think he was mom's first shadow weaver teacher, yet she outgrew him in a couple weeks. Liam: Can we talk now? His text weighed heavily on me. I know I can't ignore it, but I also know his 'talk' really means lecture. He's going to lecture the shi.t out of me. I sighed, accepting my fate. I might as well get this over with before my fight later. I didn't bother texting him back, just finding his shadow door and emerging behind him. "Yes, we can talk now." I answered him, finding myself in his dorm. He was shirtless and in joggers, clearly having just come back from a run. He smelled of sun and wet dog. I wrinkled my nose

Ares' P.O.V. "Nova, really it's fine." I assured her, as I squeezed the hand she was holding. She hadn't let go of me since the battle. I am thoroughly enjoying it, even though I'm sure it means nothing. I lost it on Cal, and that really wasn't her fault. The guy is an as.s and he needed to learn a lesson. He flew off after the battle. I know he'll pop back up in our lives soon, but I'll worry about that then. For now, I was focused on every little affection that Nova was giving me. "You had a whole damn battle, Ares. It's not fine." She argued, still feeling guilty about the whole thing. '"That was my own choice." "Still." She pouted. "I'm going to make it up to you today. Let's go see Gabriel and mess around like old times. At least until Jesse's fight. I am done with my classes for the day." She offered. "I've had all mine this morning as well. That does sound good, but is Gabriel done with his classes? Remember he is a teacher." "Dammit, you're right. He has one right

Augustus' P.O.V.I need to find Jesse and make sure she's ready for this fight she got herself into. I'll lend her some power if I have to. Thankfully that's something an ancient shadow can do, boost other shadow's ability. I tried looking for her shadow door, but she seemed to have them closed.I checked the training grounds where she was supposed to be, but she had missed class. Al told me she had been training earlier in the day, so he didn't mind her missing. At least, she told him, and didn't just skip. Still, where the hell is she?Me: I hate that I actually have to use the phone. Where are you?I texted her, which seemed like a foreign concept to me. We usually just send a shadow message, but I can't do that right now. Whatever she's

Nova's P.O.V. "Auggie? Are you okay?" I saw him in the distance, near the dorm's entrance. His shoulders were slumped so low, he was practically hunched over. He had his hands balled into fists beside him. He turned to look at me, and I saw the hurt he was trying to hide behind his eyes. My heart broke just seeing it. I don't know what happened, but all my body wanted to do was run to him and hug him. So, I let it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed him to me. "I'm here. Tell me what happened." I asked him, refusing to let go. He wrapped his arms around my waist, tucking his head into my neck. He smelled so damn good, like roasted marshmallows and dark chocolate. He shook his head, nuzzling deeper against me. The action had goosebumps rising in me. Before I knew it, he had traveled us to his dorm. He probably didn't want anyone seeing him upset. "Talk to me, Auggie. What happened?" I pulled back a bit from our embrace to look into his golden eyes. "It's stupid."

West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 131 Andy
Andy's P.O.V.5 months have passed now and Elara has grown right before our eyes at a very rapid rate. She now looks to be 4 rather than just 5 months. We knew it would happen from Percy's warning, but it was still alarming to see. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with her still white hair that curled softly around her. She had her mother's eyes which at first were hard to look into without remembering her. Now, all I see when I look at them is Elara. That same bright-moon silver dawned her eyes shimmering against her pale skin. Her rosy lips and crimson stained cheeks contrasted well with her all white appearance. "Mommy, I'm bored," she complained, coming to take a seat on my lap. "I know sweetheart, but I have to finish tending to these plants for my final, and daddy's in class right now, taking one of his finals. Would you like to help me? I can show you how to grow a plant with magic," I offered her with a smile. "Okay, Mommy!" She jumped excitedly, looking all kinds of ador
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 130 Ares
Ares’ P.O.V.Elara stirred in my arms as she situated herself. My heart felt full with her in my arms. In a matter of seconds this child had me wrapped around her finger. She is my world, my heart, my everything. She and Andy take priority over everything in my life. I would kill for them. I would die for them. Seeing dad was an unexpected gift that both helped and eased my worries. I guess now it's time to tell mom and my other dad's. I don't know how they'll take it. Mom lost it when she found out what happened to me. I am worried how she'll react to Elara. I better do it now while I have the gale to do it. "I'm going to mom's, come with me?" I turned, asking them all. "You sure?" Auggie stepped forward, seeming concerned. "It's now or never. Besides, the longer I wait the more hurt she'll be." I looked into the future, seeing mom outside training. If I wait too long she'll be hurt that I didn't tell her. "Okay, then. Let's go." Jesse nodded. "This will probably be better if it
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 129 Percy
Percy’s P.O.V. My dear son, I am so sorry this has happened to you. You finally lifted the curse I could not, yet here you stood with a baby in your arms. Much too young to raise a child, yet alone one with such great responsibility. They granted me one more visit, and I saved it for this day in case this future came to pass. I had hoped not, but he chose correctly, and I couldn’t be more proud. He didn’t think selfishly. He let his child be born, even though it was one he did not consent to. I made Ares much in the same way that he conceived his daughter. I can’t exactly say anything about that. None of it was the baby’s fault, anyway. I watched Ares as he looked on to that child, like she was his everything. It was a sad sight to see, knowing that his future would be just as hard as his past, if not more difficult, despite the curse being lifted. I couldn’t help the sadness that filled my heart. This was not the future I wanted for him, it was not the one I hoped for. I know he wi
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 128 Augustus
Augustus' P.O.V. Ares traveled us all back to the center of the maze, where just an hour before we had been having fun. That was the longest and most intense hour of my life. I'm not sure what happened those last few minutes of the battle. When things got dark we leaned into each other, and it unlocked something inside of Ares that we were all able to tap into. The feeling still lingered inside me, strengthening me with power and light. I scanned the area for Nova, but couldn't see her anywhere. She must have sensed me as a water portal opened before us, and Nova jumped out with Manny close behind. "I'm sorry I couldn't teleport you all out. I was only able to get Nova because we're mated. The dark forest hates relinquishing its prey," Manny explained with a guilty expression. "Thank you for rescuing her," I said, staring at Nova like she was my salvation. She's the only reason I live and breathe. She ran towards me, wrapping her arms around my neck. She sobbed into my chest, let

Jesse's P.O.V. With the sword in its hand, the demon lunged forward towards Nova. It clawed at her, piercing her skin right over her thigh as she retreated too slowly. The demon tossed the sword, having it land on the ground, looking like an Excalibur sticking out of the earth. It shined mockingly from 20 feet away. It would have done us well if Nova could have had the chance to use it. "Jesse, can you do it?" Liam asked, already knowing that I couldn't, but desperately wanting me to. I shook my head no, hanging it in disappointment for a brief second. "Then know that I love you, forever into all eternity." He shifted into King before me, biting down onto the demon's head, only to be met with a loud yelp of pain. The demon's blood was burning his mouth as if he had taken a bite of hot magma. Liam let go of the demon instantly, using his paws to slash at it instead. He shook his head, trying to shake off the pain from his mouth. The heat from the demon someone felt to increase. I
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 126 Nova
Nova’s P.O.V. The ghoul lunged, trying to bite a chunk of flesh off. I burned it away before me, turning it into a charred black lump. The smell of charred flesh permeated the air, and I felt my stomach turn in disgust. They already smelled bad, but it seemed burning them only made the stench worse. Auggie clasped my hand tightly as his fire coursed through me and combined with my own. Our fire joined when we became mated. There was no delay, no fight for control. It was natural, like an extension of myself. I blasted the ghouls as they approached, while Auggie tossed them with his shadows. My primary concern was the demon that stood at the edge of the woods. It seemed to watch, waiting for something, but I'm not sure what. I heard the baby cry in the cabin, earning not only the attention of some ghouls, but that of the demon as well. Ares seemed to pale as his eyes flashed and his face contorted with worry. Andy was in danger. I could tell by the change in his demeanor. He told L
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 125 Andy
Andy's P.O.V. My worst nightmare played before me. Ares had been wrapped in dark smoke and pulled away from us before my eyes. I tried to reach for him, but found myself grabbing air. He was gone. I spun around seeing the same horrified expression on everyone's face. "We have to go!" I snapped everyone out of their shock. "I can travel us there now. I've been practicing with Umbra and we can use the darkness better," Jesse said, answering the question of how we would get there without anyone having to ask. "Then let's go," Auggie said, looking the most determined I had ever seen him. I felt the beast inside me stir as anger coursed through me. She could be hurting him this very instant. I need to save the love of my life before she does irreversible damage. I felt the familiar cold of shadow traveling wrap itself around me as the settings set around us. Jesse had managed to pull us through Ares' shadow door. There was no stumbling or searching through the woods for him this time.
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 124 Ares
Ares' P.O.V. Andy's idea for her Christmas pity party was brilliant. I could feel the atmosphere changing around us, allowing for some laughter and joy to enter each of us. I know everyone is nervous and worried for me a lot. Hell, I'm scared, but with Andy by my side and Dad's words of encouragement, I think I can do this. I guess we'll see when she calls on me. I wonder though, when she calls me, will she call only me? Last time it was an accident that everyone came with me. I doubt she'd call them again, since they ruined her plans for me. I could see it in her eyes that night. She wasn't done with me. If she would have had her way, she would have raped me all night. She was determined to have a child, and for some reason she was determined to have that child with me. What if when she calls me again, she tries the same thing? The thought made my blood run cold and my body shiver. Andy noticed as she leaned in beside me, providing me with warmth only he touch brings me. She chas
West Ora Academy: It Starts Here Ch. 123 Augustus
Augustus’ P.O.V. Christmas was approaching us sooner than we would have liked. Instead of enjoying the holiday season we had all been on pins and needles, just waiting for the day we would face that crazy dark witch again. Ares trains every day with Andy by his side. Nova and I have been focusing on our fire training to use during battle, while she and Manny have been training on her control over her sea witch magic. We don’t want her to be overtaken again. She had delved into the darkness the week she had turned away from me. It had almost permanently stained her soul, but with the help of Andy they were able to banish that darkness. Ares has been more on edge than usual. I know that he isn’t the only one. Jesse and I have been talking and practicing. We’ve been trying to figure out what Percy meant when he spoke about us holding one another when things get dark. We aren’t the most poetic bunch, so we didn’t come up with much. It didn’t help that Jesse told me about the prophecy sh
