"Then, we must try. Together" Xavier said
"You are still healing" Mr Walker said at the same time with Zo.
"It's not safe anymore, Mr Walker. We have to go" Xavier said
"The Queen knows" Mr Walker said
"Still" Kit said "We'll tell her everything"
"If there's one person who should meet the Queen and tell her everything, it's Clark. But it's too dangerous" Mr Walker said
Fina looked up at him.
"Why is it dangerous?" She asked
Mr Walker looked at her.
"Every eyes will be upon you. You'll be watched and attention is certainly the last thing you need right now" David replied.
"Then, we will go and return before the exams begins." Bryce Parker said
"How far is the Palace?" Shelly asked
"You have to revolve around the seven cities before you get to the Palace" Kit replied, adjusting his glasses.
Shelly and Zo's eyes widened.
"That's far. Too far. Miles. You won't make it in time for the exams" Shelly said
"If we are fast and take the flying cheetahs with us, we'll be back in no time" Bryce Parker said. Then, he looked at Mr Walker. "Give us your permission, Mr Walker. It's important. The Queen will know what to do. If she sees us"
Mr Walker sighed.
"Very well. I give you my permission. Go"
Bryce Parker turned to Fina.
"It's sad you have to go through all of that but you've to be careful from now on. Take care of yourself. Until we meet again"
Fina nodded.
"If you meet the Queen, can you tell her to change Shelly's house back to Capricorn?"
Everyone looked confused except the girls.
"It's in the letter the Queen gave me before coming to Elfina. Shelly's our third but in some way, she was taken to Aries" Fina said
"That's something… Confusing and dangerous." Mr Walker said sternly. "You can't be put into the wrong house. It has never happened before"
"We thought it was because of her month" Zo said
"There's a motive behind it. It's not just the age. Someone definitely knows about you three. What does the letter say?" Bryce Parker asked
Fina told them about the letter.
Bryce and Xavier turned to Mr Walker sharply.
"Someone is trying to outsmart the Queen" Xavier said "Her command is not been carried out. Who would dare to defy the Queen?"
"I don't know. I definitely do not remember who showed me to Aries but I didn't say anything because I was born in the Aries month. I thought that was normal" Shelly said to Xavier
Xavier looked at her.
"It is normal but the Queen must have definitely given orders that you must be taken to a particular room in Capricorn" Xavier said
"Mrs Knight took me to Capricorn" Fina said
"What does the Queen intended with her message?" Ozias asked in confusion.
"I have yet to confirm it myself but I have my suspicions and you should all stop looking at me like that." Mr Walker said to their anticipating faces. "I can't tell you."
"I'll tell her if we get to her" Bryce said to Fina.
"Thank you" Fina said softly.
Their eyes lingered on each other for a while. Blue meeting green. As if trying to tell each other something.
Bryce walked forward and squeezed her hand again.
"Until then. Take care of my wand" He said
Fina rolled her eyes.
"Wand. What wand?" Mr Walker asked "Where's your wand, Clark?"
Bryce Parker handsome face looked amused and with a smirk at her, he turned and walked out of the door with Xavier and Kit following behind.
Like a leader.
Ozias looked at Shelly but she ignored him.
"Soon. Mr Walker." He said to Mr Walker and turned to the girls. "Take care"
Then, he was gone.
Their absence was felt deep within them suddenly. .
"We need to get you out of this clothe" Zo said, her eyes filled with brightness again.
Then, with tears again.
Fina embraced her while Shelly Jefferson rolled her eyes at them.
Mr Walker watched their exchange for a while.
Fina didn't tell them she was still in pain but wanted this moment with them after she had escaped death.
"How's Talon?" She asked
"He's feeling better now. Back in his own room. Although, still sick. We didn't let him come" Zo replied
"What of Coco?" Shelly asked.
"I believed she is locked up there." Fina replied
"She's blind. No way to escape. The walls are there to distract her. She'll never be able to leave again" Shelly said, staring at her nails.
"What about the book?" He asked
"The Ascergill took it." Fina said confidently, suddenly remembering a portion of what had happened in her dream after the voice.
"He will keep it safe" Mr Walker said
The girls didn't believed that at all.
"Can't it be destroyed?" Shelly asked after a moment.
Mr Walker shook his head.
"Not until a new Guardian head is on the throne. The next Guardian head is the only one that can destroy the book" Mr Walker explained
"What if it happened again?" Zo asked in horror.
"It won't. If the Ascergill took it himself, then it's in a place they will never be able to find it" Mr Walker said
"It's not over yet." Shelly told Fina "We believed there must be an invisible link they are taking to Amenix. The link had to be destroyed. We feared that there are still some dark students here in Amenix. We don't know how many but right now, Amenix is not safe" Shelly said
The other students in the potion lab. Fina thought.
"Especially you, Clark. They will try to bring you down"
