" Come on !" Macy cried out as shewas reading her books.
" Why hello there..."
Macy turned around to see Harry staring at her.
" Macy isn't it?" He asked taking a seat next to her on the bench in the garden.
Macy nodded.
" Any problem..."
" Nah , I just don't like reading but I've got a test coming up "
Harry looked at her book and smiled at her.
" So I actually came here for an apology..." Harry said lifting a brow at her.
" Apology!"
" Yeah, you were checking me out the other day and then you ran away..."
Macy laughed and her cheeks burned bright red. She looked Harry in the eye and began explaining.
" First of all , I wasn't checking you out. I was simply looking in your direction and second I didn't ran away I just had something to do..."
Harry nodded as if agreeing before laughing and a smile rested on his face making Macy heart jump to her throat.
" Heard you received a threshing today at combat..."
" Well you heard right"
" I can help you..."
Macy looked at him and he seemed open and sincere . Just then the bell sounded and Macy got up to leave .
" I'll think about it .."

" Okay...breath as you feel power course through you ..." Mr Harley explained as they were in the campus open space to practice controlling their power.
" Do you feel it ?" Judy asked Danny .
" If it's a rumbling sensation in my stomach then yes greatly.."Danny answered.
" Silence!" Harley said.
Macy was focused on her power when she got lost and could hear people call out to her. She found herself in a dark place and could see someone walking towards her . They had red glowing eyes.
" Leave ! "
They yelled increasing their pace towards her.
" Leave !" They yelled and Macy stumbled back and her eyes flew open causing a massive earthquake.
" Macy !" Harley called out. " You okay..."
Macy took fast deep breaths her mind and heart racing from the encounter.
" Take a break. It must have been overwhelming. " Harley said.
Danny and Judy helped Macy to her feet and to the class. Macy urged them to go back stating she had to take a rest.

" We've got a runner!" One of the seniors yelled.
" I'll handle her..." Harry yelled as he walked towards the Pegasus that landed infront of the classes.
" Come on Camille we are not doing this again!" Harry said to the creature. It continued walking and stopped before the classes .
Harry looked towards it's line of vision and saw Macy sitting her head in her palms.
" She's the reason..." Harry said and walked over to the window and gently tapped on it to catch her attention.
Macy looked up and was shocked to see Harry. She walked up to the window and opened it .
" Why are you here?" Macy asked.
" I have a friend that wants to say hi..." Harry said gesturing to the Pegasus.
Macy's jaw dropped and she rushed out. She walked towards the magical creature and wondered if it was real.
" Macy this is Camille..." Harry introduced and Macy gawked at the creature before her. It was huge and Macy could barely reach its knee length.
" Wow!" She said. She carefully stroked her wings .
" Hi Camille.." Macy said.
" Can someone ride it " Macy asked.
" Yeah. But you need her consent...wanna go for a ride. "
" I can't still got one last class.." Macy said in a disappointed tone.
" Meet me at the field after supper" Harry said and just then Harley called out.
Harry and Camille left and Macy went back to class.
*****
Macy was lost in her thoughts. Spending time with Harry felt like the good old days. They were in love but she was scared of what would happen if she told him and her identity was revealed.
" Earth to Macy..." Edna called out.
Macy snapped back " Sorry, " she said and Edna continued the lesson.

" Hey , you okay you seem zoned out " Judy asked.
Macy sighed as they went up to the assembly.
" Harry invited me to go out with him somewhere" Macy said and Judy let out a squeal.
" Wow you're moving fast. Well do you wanna go " Judy asked.
" Honestly Yes but...."
Judy placed a finger on Macy's lips " Then stop hesitating and letting fear get a hold of you..."
Just then Members of the council walked up to the front. They aligned themselves at the front. All the newbies were upfront with seven lines then the others followed.
" Those of you who have been here a long time know why we are here ..." Harley said using Magic to project his voice. " We are here to celebrate the sacrifice made by our fallen heros "
A curtain was unvailed and it contained dozens of names .
" This people died defending us from the dark spirits and their sacrifice will forever be remembered. "
Macy felt someone's presence beside her. She was cold and felt someone's cool breath on her neck. She shut her eyes tightly.
" Leave !" The voice whisphered and breathed on Macy's neck leaving an icy mark.
Just then a girl screamed and all turned to face her. She was right behind Macy . The guy behind Macy had frozen solid. Everyone stared in disbelief and Cole who was beside the podium walked up to retrieve the body.
His body couldn't be touched and Macy thought it was he who made her feel chilly but even after the body was taken away through levitation, the chill didn't leave her.
