So it’s Sunday and my uncle said we would do more training today. Neither of them realize that I am good again. They don’t know that Noah pulled me back to the light. There is still a voice in my head telling me to do something bad but the louder voice is the one telling me to do the right thing. But now I have to make them believe that I am on their side.
Anyway my brother told me that he would teach me cause our uncle can be a little aggressive. I got out of the makeshift bed they had for me and walked over to the shattered mirror sitting in the corner of the room. I thought of a cute outfit I wanted to wear and the next thing I knew I was wearing the red leather jacket, black ripped jeans and a pair of black pumps.
I smiled and walked out of the room, I saw Austin standing over by the area we were last night. I walked up behind him and he turned around, "Are you ready?" I nodded and he looked at my outfit, "You’re just asking for attention." I shrugged and he handed me an old looking book of dark magic. Mama and papa would never let me touch the dark magic books. The leather was falling off the binding which makes it easy to tell that it is old, I go to open it and Austin stops me.
"You have to be careful with this. You were raised to be good so who knows what it will do to you." I sighed and nodded, I opened up to the first page and saw that it was a teleportation spell. I felt a wave of energy coming off of the book. Full of dark magic but there is some neutral energy coursing through it as well.
"Is this the same spell you taught me last night?" he shook his head, I looked down at the spell. The only thing that is different is this spell will take you to the past or the future.
"No, this one is somewhat different but nobody has ever been able to master it because nobody can understand it." I looked at him then back at the book.
"I can read it." he gave me a confused look, "Tempusque locumque ire cogitare. Cum conpleveris haec dicere: aut praeteriti aut futuri deinceps. Go." (Translation: Think of the time and place you wish to go. Say these words once you finish: back or forward, future or past. Go.) I had been thinking about Noah without even realizing. But I was thinking about the first time I hugged him, which was when we were trying to escape to the safe house. Time was frozen but I saw him and I standing there, I had my arms around him trying to give him some of his strength back.
I smiled and went back to the makeshift layer, Austin gave me a confused look. "It’s in Latin. Most spells are, how do you not know this one." he sighed with a look of disappointment or embarrassment.
"We use the simpler spells." I nodded, I have to play along with this evil side of things even though more than anything I want to go back to Noah.
"Well you have me now." he smirked and our uncle walked into the room, he was giving me a rude look or his version of a disappointed look.
"Why does she have that? I doubt she can read that." I laughed, and flipped the page to another spell.
"Well your doubt is wrong." I looked at my uncle and smirked, "ulcere sanguis" (Translation: Blood boil.) I saw my uncle start to sweat and I enjoyed seeing him start to fall. I called the spell off, "So from now on, neither one of you get to order me around. Understood?" my uncle stood up and laughed.
"Who do you think you are?" I stepped up to him, is he really trying to control me right now? I felt hatred and rage boil to the surface but I pushed it away to keep my powers from getting out of control.
"I think I’m probably one of the most powerful creatures to ever walk the earth. What about you?" he glared at me.
"As of right now I am in charge of you." I laughed and shook my head, I crossed my arms over my chest and gave him a smirk.
"And how do you plan on keeping your power over me?" he smirked and snapped his fingers. Noah appeared in front of me and my uncle and a knife to his throat, Noah looked terrified.
"Your little boyfriend here will pay the price." I felt fear spark in the back of my mind, I felt vines crawling along the floor until they were wrapped around my uncle's throat. He dropped the knife and was being choked by the vines. I felt the anger rising in me but I then felt a hand on my arm, I looked at the person and it was Noah. The anger vanished and the vines fell. Noah stayed behind me while my uncle was catching his breath, "So you have your mothers powers. I see, I wonder what else you can do." I glared and formed a fireball in my hand.
I aimed it at his feet and his pant leg caught on fire, I smirked and grabbed Noah's hand and teleported us back to my house. Amelia and James were sitting talking to Mama and Papa in the living room, I mumbled a protection spell under my breath and the spell went over the house. "Ivy, honey what happened?" I sighed.
“Uncle tried to kill Noah, my vines tried to kill him, Noah stopped me. I set uncle on fire a little and teleported here." Mom nodded. I looked at Noah and saw that he got cut a little bit, "Noah your wound is not healing." He walked over to the mirror and saw that his wound was not healing.
"I don't know why." I walked over to him and tried to use a spell to heal him but it didn't work. This can’t be happening, I can’t lose him.
"Mom, I can't heal him." Noah stumbled a little bit and I saw the wound was either getting infected really fast or some sort of poison was spreading through Noah's body. James walked over to us and helped me bring Noah to the couch. "Mama, what’s happening to him?" She looked at the wound and frowned.
"If I’m not mistaken it is a mix of wolfsbane and some sort of common poison." I frowned and looked at Mama.
"Is there a way to cure him?" she shrugged and frowned, how is this happening? Why is this happening?
"I don’t know." I nodded and stood up from being on the floor by Noah who was laying down on the couch.
"I will be back. Keep me posted on how he is doing." my parents shook their heads.
"You’re not going back there." I nodded, I have to, she knows I have to.
"I have to. If I want to save him, Mom, I have to." she sighed and nodded, I teleported back to the layer. I saw the burn mark where I had thrown the fireball at my uncle but no uncle. I didn't see Austin either, I rolled my eyes when I sensed them both behind me.
"We knew you would come back." I rolled my eyes again. More than anything I want to throw a fireball at his face and not put it out.
"If you knew I would come back then you know what I am here for." my uncle shrugged, he must know that I am out for revenge now. He must know that I want him to suffer and give me a cure for Noah.
"Perhaps, but what is in it for me?" I frowned, I wish there was a way to turn him in. To make sure he never causes trouble for anyone again but I know there isn’t. At least not yet.
"What do you want?" he smirked. What is he planning? Why does he want me?
"I want you to join your brother and I. I want you to join our mission." I gave him a confused look. How does he expect that to work? He knows I can’t change back, I mean I’m good.
"You want me to be evil even though you know I can't." he nodded. I sighed and nodded. It is the only way to save him. I have to do this again. I have to go through losing him all over again. Why does this keep happening?
"Fine but give me the cure and time to say goodbye." my uncle smiled the same wicked smile Austin has and nodded. He snapped his fingers and a bottle appeared in my hands. I sighed and teleported back to my house, I ran over to Noah and had him drink the bottle. His wound healed and he sat up, I smiled and hugged him. I knew this would be the last time I would be able to hug him for a long time. I backed away from him and stood where I could see everyone, my powers and spell casting has increased since my evil kicked in so this will only take one shot. "Vim extermina memorias a me." (Translation: Erase memories of me.) I teleported out of the house before I even realized if it worked. I felt a tear fall to my cheek but I wiped it away and closed my eyes. Part of me wants to erase my memory of the pain so I forget about how much it hurts to lose them all again.
I decided what would be best, that I didn't erase my memories of them so I would be able to avoid them if I saw them again. I opened my eyes and looked at Austin and Jay (uncle) who was smiling at me. "So are we ready?" I nodded and Jay went on talking about the job he needed us to do.
"Do you think we could get a better layer?" I cut him off, he turned around and looked at me.
"Excuse me?" I sighed and gave him a sarcastic look. Dude, you need to clean your ears out.
"I was just thinking, this place is full of rats and stuff and you are an evil mastermind." he shrugged and I smiled, "Magnus est, et melior transform." (Translation: Transform to big and better.) the next thing we knew we were standing in the middle of a living room, I smiled. "Much better." Jay nodded and went back to talking about the job.
I sat on the couch near Jay and Austin, "Ivy are you even paying attention?" I sighed and shook the thought of the people I left out of my head.
"Yeah I am. You want us to steal something then bring it back here. The typical bad guy scenario in any movie." Jay looked at me with a confused look. "You guys are kidding me right? Have you ever seen any action movie?" they still looked confused and I sighed. "Bad guy has his 'minions' go steal important documents or jewels while he plans some diabolical plan." They nod and Jay smiles.
"Then I guess we’re the bad guys now." I took a deep breath and nodded, you’ve always been the bad guys. "Austin, you and Ivy are going to be going to school." I coughed, seriously, you took me out of school for this.
"What now?" Jay looked at me with confusion but I sighed.
"I need you guys to be new students while I’m a new teacher." I gave him a confused look, what could be so important that he needs us to go to high school?
"What exactly is your plan Jay?" he smirked, I could feel his power pulsing through the building. I don’t know how it’s possible but I can. I can tell with his age he is more powerful then me when it comes to spell casting but he doesn’t have the same powers as Mom, so I have the upper hand on that side of things.
"I’m going to get rid of people unlike us. And the school where you attended has what I need." I looked at Austin who was just as shocked.
"You want to get rid of humans?" he smirked and nodded. They make up most of the population, how can he just get rid of a whole race?
"They’re unnecessary and weak creatures." I thought of Mama and papa. They are human so are Oliver and Chris, I can't let him do this.
"I'm in." Austin and I said at the same time, we looked at each other and nodded. Jay wasn't paying attention to that and he smiled. Does he feel the same way I do or is he genuinely in line with this idea?
"Good, you two better get some rest. You start school tomorrow." Jay walked away and Austin and I looked at each other, I grabbed his arm and teleported to a random place.
"You’re not going to let him do this are you?" he shook his head. He had a look of fear and worry in his eyes. The good in him is flickering brighter than before which makes me smile.
"I fell in love with a human and I know it’s not allowed but I love her." I smile and nod as I try to think of a plan.
"Then we can't let him know we’re not going to go through with it. We have to try and keep the act up for as long as we can." Austin nodded and I teleported us back to the layer. We went our separate ways and I went to a spare room in the layer where my makeshift bed was. I changed into some different clothes and got into the bed.
