Fina walked slowly to the flying cheetah as if she was going to be executed and the cheetah watched her every steps.
When she finally gets to it, she could see Nancy have already passed out.
She raised her hand to the cheetahs head and it smirked at her which was extremely weird as if it had tortured Nancy on purpose.
It nodded to the side giving her permission to get Nancy off with its smirk still on its face.
Fina dragged Nancy down and she fell to the ground.
As she stepped aside to pull her up, the cheetah glared at her and she practically flew back to her mates.
Mr Walker was the one who carried Nancy Miller back to the castle.
"Whew. That was terrifying." Miss Slayer said
"That was fun" Zora said
Fina glanced at her.
"Scary. I meant scary" She corrected at once.
She looked up when she felt some gazes on her.
Xavier and his friends with Bridget and Kathleen were staring at her.
But it wasn't Xavier stare she found odd. It was the boy with the blond hair and amber eyes.
The boy was beaming ear to ear at her.
Fina looked away and back to the flying cheetahs which were making their way back to their dwelling place.
"You know, I wouldn't have minded if that continued for years" Shelly whispered in her ear, a wicked glint in her eyes.
"Back to your classes everyone." Miss Slayer said You are dismissed"
Zora held Fina's hand and they both walked back into the castle.
As they walked beside the students, they could hear them murmuring about what happened.
Certainly, Nancy Miller friends would have fed them the wrong rumour since they seem intent on ruining her name.
"Fina Clark, right?"
They both turned to see one of Xavier friends walking to them. The one with the blond hair and amber eyes.
His eyes twinkled as he smiled at them and when he stopped in front of them, Zora sucked in a breath.
It seems Zora has a thing for all the seniors- Fina thought.
"That must be you, then. And I guess this beautiful miss beside you is….
"Zora Alvarez" Zora filled in excitedly.
"Right. You must have met Xavier already. He's my lovely roommate since junior year"
"Xavier?" Fina asked
"Xavier Starr. I am Tyrell Swift"
"So, that was a wonderful show. I hate when people takes what's mine too. And there have been a lot actually. Where are you going? Let me honour you with my wanting to be your loyal escort"
"You are such a gentleman" Fina said
"Well, that's the magic of Miss Slayer. She can turn a rogue into a gentleman in a week." Tyrell said "Shall we?"
"So, how are your lessons?" Tyrell asked as they walked into the elevator.
"Mystery" Fina replied
"I understand" He said. "Mr Walker may be quite strict"
Fina and Zora looked sharply at him.
"Quite?" Fina asked
"Then how about Miss Zedler's class?" He asked again and pressed a button.
Before they could reply, the elevator shook.
Fina and Zora bumped into Tyrell.
"Still haven't gotten used to it. It will take time. The first time Black rode an elevator, he was screaming his mother's name. How bad could it be?"
The lift stopped and opened.
"He wanted to go back home" Tyrell said "I was hoping you will be my friend. If you want me to help you with anything, I am always in the library. In the fourth section. The seat by the window. My escorting ends here"
His brows creased.
"At four. I trust you will be there"
Tyrell didn't wait for their reply and walked away.
"Tyrell Swift wants to be friends with us? Why?" Zora asked
Fina only shrugged.
*******
"How are we going to learn all this thirty spells within twenty four hours? It's not like our brain was magically carved." Talon whined.
The school library was the biggest library in Amenix. Filled with rows and rows of books on glass shelves. There were steps to climb in order to reach the highest rows of the books.
The walls were quoting famous scholars on it. The windows high and magnificent.
There were different sections in the library. Reading tables and chairs filled everywhere.
Unlike the other rooms in Elfina, the library was a bit dark.
They have been in the library for an hour now with not much success.
"AYUNUP POCULUS" Zora said
Fina waved her wooden wand.
Their books began to float in air.
"That's the moving spell." Zora said and quickly jotted it in her book.
"AYUNUP ESTERIDUS MANIFSA" Fina whispered
Fina waved her wooden wand again and the windows clacked open. A heavy wind blew in.
Some students rushed to close the window but it clapped violently .
"What spell is that, Fina?" Zora asked in sheer panic. "I can't find it anywhere. It's not in the spell book"
"I don't know. I just had it stuck in my head"
"It's a strong spell."
They turned to see Tyrell Swift behind them.
How did he walk behind them without any sound?
"It's a strong spell." Swift said again.
"Oh, I didn't realize" Fina said slowly
"You said you had it stuck in your head." He said, his lips curving into a slow smile.
"No. I must have heard it somewhere" Fina replied
Tyrell raised a brow.
"I don't believe you."
He waved his glass wand and the wind stopped.
"I can teach you strong spells if you like. The quicker you learn it, the better it will be for you when the time comes"
"When the time comes…" Zora said and trailed off.
"No place is safe forever. It's like saying everything's permanent, which it's not"
They all blinked in total confusion.
Tyrell laughed as if this was just casual talk to him.
"Pardon. My father is a Philosopher. I must have had it in my blood.
"Excuse me. I do not mean to be rude but can we have some space?" Talon asked "Mr Walker gave us a very important assignment"
"Sure." Tyrell said "POCULUS, right? It's been quite a while since I've done any easy spells."
They all looked at him.
"Mr Walker said an easy spell is a normal day spell. It's important and we do it every day. It's like the chemistry of life" Fina said
"You got it wrong. I didn't mean easy spell in the 'it's my every day thing way but in its class lecture thing'" Tyrell said "I will take my leave. Good luck"
Talon Smith runs his fingers through his hair.
"Is it just me or do I really feel that the hairs at the back of my neck are up in a 'that boy is creepy kind of way?'" He asked
"Hello. We are the Rashford twins. How do you do?"
"That is what is called …." Zo said and trailed off
The twins have brown hair mixed with purple and Aquamarine eyes. Both were tall and a bit in the chubby side.
They took a sit next to Talon and he almost jumped out of his chair.
"Fina Clark"
"Zora Alvarez"
They all turned to Talon who looked as if he has swallowed the wrong pill.
"Talon Smith"
They gave him a very creepy smile and turned back to Fina.
"Are you studying for Mr Walker Class?" They asked in unison.
"Yes." Fina said
"I am Julie and this is Juju" One of them said
They didn't bother asking for their names because they can't tell whom from whom.
"Mr Walker is a bit strict but he is really handsome. The junior students have been talking about him. The girls" They said in unison
Zo couldn't stop blinking and Fina feared that her friend's eye would get stuck if she doesn't stop.
"We have already studied the thirty spells. Do you know that there are ghosts in the Gemini house?"
