Chapter 15 - Dylan agrees

Sky got to her room as she looked around, she's lost in her own thoughts. 'What will happen this time?' She sits down on the bed, wondering what she'll do after the conversation she had with Mr Robert."It's better to let things be the way they are,all I have to do is to keep my guards up, it looks more like she has a lot of enemies in this city." She mumbled before going to bed.

....

The next morning,

At school,

Jazlyn comes down from the car together with her best friend and her brother, she is wearing the necklace Damon gave to her last night. Sky who has not noticed it until now finally sees it. "Whoa, Jazz, what did you get that for?" She points at the necklace. Jazz looks at her to know what she is talking about,as they walk to class together,while Júnior already left them to go to his own class.

"Damon gave it to me last night, he actually came to see me last night." She explains.

"Oh, I see. He came to see you and gave you this lovely necklace, that's so sweet." Sky smiles.

"Did you feel his presence yesterday?" Jazz asked.

"Yes." Sky nodded as she looked at her best friend. ' She looks so happy, it's just like back then,before all those things happened.'

On their way to class, someone blocks them. "Hey watch it,will you?" Sky looks at the person.

"Oh my bad, didn't mean to bump into you,oh I actually did mean that." She laughs as she looks at the two before crossing her arms. It looks like she came alone,her crew didn't follow her like always today,or maybe she left them to go have some fun and doesn't want Marceline to find out what she was about to do. They already agreed amongst themselves that they won't hurt people for fun, but Betty being Betty can't stop herself from messing around with people and their feelings. The problem is that she doesn't know the amount of spells that some powerful witches know.

"Get lost ." Jazz rolled her eyes as she clicked her tongue in frustration. 'She just keeps whining like a baby,it isn't my fault that the stunts she planned in pulling during the founders party didn't go so well for her, that was her loss, she should have allowed it to flow genuinely rather than using magic to get what she wants.' Jazz thought looking pissed.

"Do you have anything to say to us?" Sky asked.

"Not much, I only want to tell you to watch your back." She smirks as she starts forming a little spell with her hand, which Sky stopped immediately.

"Why did you do that?" Betty asked , nobody has ever been able to stop this particular spell of hers,'how can she?' She looks at Sky.

"You know using your magic unnecessary is forbidden in school, don't make me report you to the council leader,now get out." Sky said and she and her best friend leaves Betty looking confused.

"Is she more powerful than me?" She kept asking herself before going back to the class.

"Betty, you look sour, what happened?" Josette asked.

"Nothing." She smiled at them and went to her seat.

Jazz and Sky are already in the class. Damon smiles at her, knowing that she is wearing his gift,she smiles back.

The teacher enters the class. "Good morning class."

Everyone responded.

He sets his topic on the board and starts teaching. It's been like thirty minutes since he started and Raymond just entered the class. He looks so nonchalant as he walks in the class. The teacher saw this and got angry but what can he do? He decided to ignore him and continue his teachings.

Raymond got this seat and looked at Jazz, she looked back at him and removed her eyes.

'Something is quite off with the way he is and the way he looks at me now.' she shakes her head to remove the thoughts.

Raymond finally removes his eyes to face the teacher.

After all the class, school was finally dismissed. Jazlyn packs her books so she can leave. "Hey, how are you?" Someone said to her and that voice sounded familiar to her and it felt weird.

She looks at Raymond "I am good." She replied 'There is no reason to be rude to him, he didn't say any annoying things like he always did.' She finished what she was doing.

"You seem happy today." He said

"Is it obvious?" She asked.

"Yes," he smiles, "Jazz I am sorry for those times, it was not supposed to happen." He looks at her.

"Let's not talk about it, Raymond." She smiled at him and left.

Damon was not happy seeing that Raymond wants to be his rival in this, he likes Jazz a lot. He saw as she smiled at him and left, it's not a crime to do that, but he felt sad. "It's her life anyway." He mumbles.

"Hey," she walks up to him, where he was standing. "You good?" She asked.

"Yes I am," he smiles at her.

She noticed that something is totally off with him, but she doesn't want to push him too hard.

"Okay let's go." She smiles back at him.

They walked to where her car is parked, Sky and her brother are already inside.

"See you tomorrow." She waves and enters the car.

Meanwhile,

Betty was not looking too good after what happened this morning.

"I know something happened." Marceline said to her. They're both in the washroom. Betty is retouching her makeup as Marceline relaxed on the wall looking at her best friend. They're best friends, more reason Betty listens to whatever she says.

"You did something, spill it Betty, I won't scold, and the girls are not here."

"Ok, fine. I met those two and I tried using one of my strongest spells on them, but her witch countered it. And it has ever happened before." She finally opened up.

"That means Sky is strong, don't worry, the plan will still hold and you're my strong witch, come here." Marceline said as Betty goes close to her and hugs her.

"Thank you, I needed that, it's been long you said stuff like this to me, you were always going against me." She said,

Marceline smiled at her and didn't say anything.

......

Jazlyn got home,the house was very quiet, only Dylan and the maids were at home, her parents had left already. They traveled this morning.

Dylan came down stairs immediately he noticed his mama was back.

"Mama." He hugs her.

"Why don't you convince him to go to school." Sky suggested "staying in this house alone will be really boring for him."

Jazz carries him as she walks to the kitchen "you know that won't be easy, I've tried doing that, but I'll try again." She opens the refrigerator as she brings out an ice cream.

"Baby? Mama wants you to go to school, I'll be happy if you go to school, don't be scared nobody will touch you." Jazz said to him as she made him sit at the counter, and started to feed him ice cream. He has eaten already, but did not take anything more than food,he always waits for Jazz to come back and feed him.

Sky enters the kitchen and gives Jazz a bracelet. "Just in case he finally agrees to go, he should wear this,it will protect him from bullies, nobody who has a bad intention can get close to him if he wears this." She explained.

Jazz smiles, but all this time the little boy has been quite looking up at his Mama and her friend. They want him to go to school but he is scared of going to school.

"Baby? Please." Jazz looks at him, his silence is really killing.

"I'll go to school, but I am scared mama." He hugs her. "Don't be my baby, I'll wear this on you." She brings his little hand. The bracelet is kind of big, so it has to go two times before she locks it. "This will protect you from the evil ones, okay?" She Iles and he nods. Then she continued to feed him the ice cream.

...….

Raymond is in the sitting room as he sipped his fresh blood he got while coming back from school.

"You're sitting here like you lost something." Ella walks to him and sits beside him.

"Where's she?" Raymond asked, referring to Emily.

"She is in her room."

"I spoke to her today, and she wasn't angry to talk to me. Though she left." Raymond said.

"You mean Jazz?" Ella asked.

*Yes. And I apologized to her,but she looked like she didn't want to talk about it."

"Just give her time." Ella said as she switched the tv on.

Emily comes downstairs. "How are you feeling now Raymond? Hope your wounds have healed." She asked as she went to get water to drink from the kitchen.

Ella and Raymond look at each other in a confusing way.

"What's going on here? What is she talking about?" He asked Ella.

"Why are you asking me, I am as surprised as you." She sits up.

Emily comes outside the kitchen as she looks at them.

"What are you talking about?" Raymond asked her.

"What? Did I say something just now?" She asked, looking confused.

And that made the other two more confused. "What is happening to you Emily? Don't you remember saying anything?" Ella asked.

"No I don't." She replied looking innocent.
