After the grand hall we were asked to go to class . It turned out I was gonna be on my own I didn't have any class with any of my cousins ,even Jeremy . I hoped I didn't blow someone's head out with bad magic . I could hardly believe I was doing this.
Entering the class that I was directed to , I didn't really wanna stay at the front for too long trying to figure out where I'd sit , so I just rushed to the first empty sit that I could see at the back.
Once seated I decided I could observe my surrounding a little bit without drawing any attention. Unfortunately for me the moment I turned to the left I caught a pair of marble green eye's looking at me curiously ,unblinkingly and seemingly amused .
Trying not to turn away too fast from her ,my eyes locked on yet another even more amused looking stare this one more enticing my heart beat seemed to have been distorted .
This was Elijah's.
That guy .
I didn't know him ,I'd been a little bit rude to him,yes ,I'd never been that way before to any one and here he was observing me like a predator would its prey.
'Hey !'
I heard Elijah whisper a little too loudly for my licking . I ignored .
'Scarlet !'
WTF he knew my name ?
Turning around expecting to see the same amusement in his eyes, I was stunned to see the deadpan look on his face.
'I don't forgive easily .' he bit on his lower lip which drew my attention like I was being hypnotized , 'I'm gonna make you learn, its not good to be rude to strangers.'
Just like that he was already look away uninterested like he'd not just threatened to aide my manners .
He was seating a good seat away from me but his words seemed to caress my ear and make me shiver .
I didn't know why my body reacted that way ,it just did.
It had never happened with other guys back when I used to go out with Eli along with His dates, they'd tried to approach so often that it bored the hell out of me.
Taking a deep breath I focused on the front of class .
The teacher entered ,well if he was old enough to be one that is.
'Good morning every one .'
I heard some whispering arise in the class .
'I understand you weren't expecting to see me but I'll be the replacement of Mr Ambrosia your spell teacher .'
The class seemed to have calmed a little bit well that was until some girl shouted
'Fuck me !he's hot ! '
The whole class,well the majority ,burst into laughter ,a brief not so very subtle glance at Elijah proved he wasn't equally finding it funny.
The teacher had a quite amused look but didn't loss His stature.
'My Name is Silas , Silas Sincamore .'
The noise had suddenly died down ,everyone was silent .
I had no damn idea what was going on .
I almost burst out laughing at the way eyes were bulging out of sockets, well.....another subtle glance at Elijah showed that he wasn't really impressed.
Silas nodded as his gaze swept the class briefly he seemed to blink at my section then he continued.
'You guys should have known most of the basics by now ,but I think we should go through them again .'
'We'll start with the first spell you were taught on your first day of practice which if I'm correct which I sure am is the lifting spell.
The class was still very silent I couldn't even breath normally ,scared I was gonna make some noise.
Well he was wrong not all of us had been taught that ,what was I gonna do?
My heart sped up again. With all this I was scared I'd catch a heart attack at such a youthful age .
*Don't worry*
WTF was that ????
I turned around ,some one had just spoken to me so close it felt like it was in my head .
*You look confused,I know you're new to this *
That sounded very much like Elijah's ,but he wasn't even looking at me .
*You have so much power in you Scarlet ,and you make me curious *
How was I supposed to answer .
Turning around again my eyes lock with Elijah's ,I was slightly annoyed ,but I knew without any doubt that he was the one talking to me in my head .
His serious face broke into a jaw dropping smile , my jaw would have dropped if I hadn't been so confused already .
*I'm gonna help you out with this Scarlet but don't think I've changed my plans on teaching your manners .*
If not for the fact that he was actually gonna help me I would have scoffed at him .
I didn't know how to reply so I raised my brow hoping that he would see it as a "how" gesture.
*Take a long deep breath ,calm your nerves ,the lifting spell is Elevar .*
I had suspected that already.
*When the teacher says we can cast our spells ,I want you to take in another deep breath think of what you'd like to lift ,and unlock the door of your powers .*
This time I raised both eye brows how was I gonna do that ?.
I heard him chuckle in my head but his face was still deadpan serious.
*Don't worry Scar it'll be okay just think about all that, power know that you are powerful and that the power is yours get acquainted it ,this spell requires just a little bit ,but with the power you've got you'll need to lift the whatever, without using too much of your power.*
I nodded simply .
'Okay you are gonna come forward one by one and lift up this book , I am more interested in your individual techniques .'
I looked back at Elijah panicked .
*I didn't see that coming okay ,let's do a little exercise okay ?*
I gave a slight nod .
*close your eyes breath in deep think of meeting the power inside you and being one with it.*
I felt my body sleep out ,and felt something
Slither up and round my body ,It was a rather nice feeling .
*Your almost there*I nodded
*Now be one with it .*
I don't know how I did it but I could feel my self become more and more strengthened .I had never felt that before.
*Good girl ,your a natural at it *
I almost squealed with joy .
*Now try with the pen in front of you ,look at it and say Elevar ,don't forget the steps I said.*
I nodded again my heart racing wildly ,I was about to do magic .
Taking a deep breath ...
'Elevar.'
The pen shot into the sky before I knew it ,in the darkened classroom I just felt the air pass by my face as it shot up .,it seemed to have disappeared.
My cheeks were flaming as I peeped at Elijah to see if he was gonna laugh .
He surprised me again by saying ...well in my mind once more.
*I told you limit the power you release ,don't bit yourself up ,you succeeded in lifting it up ,just work on the power you release .*
That calmed me down slightly and I smiled .
I really wanted to say thank you but I didn't know how to so I just gave him a subtle thumbs up.
He nodded and this time focused in front with no further talking .
