LOGINXAVIER“Black, I might need your help again. We need the code to the door. I need to get in there.” I knew I was stressing him but I didn't know they'd need my help inside. “Shit, we have to wait. The present code will expire in thirty seconds. I'll need at least sixty seconds to get the new code so we have to wait for this one to expire.”Are you seriously kidding me? But we didn't have a choice. We waited, my heart beating loudly in my chest for the time. “Okay! The thirty second is up. I'll be getting the new code soon.” I looked at my wait, counting the seconds. Mia was pressed up against the glass, staring out and waiting patiently with me. “Twenty more seconds, Black. We need that code anyway.” “Boss, I'm working as fast as I can. I'll have it…now! 233496!”My hands shook as I imputed the code into the lock, the uncertainty wavering in my mind. What if it didn't work? What if he missed a number? Once I heard the beeping sound and the door unlocked, I smiled for the first
XAVIERThere were guards coming up the stairs. We could hear their footsteps and conversations. Mia and I looked at each other with widened eyes. We needed a place to hide. There was no way we could go back outside to the roof because the door made a lot of noise due to the old hinges. “We need to do something, fast.” Their voices were getting closer. We were stuck. We couldn't go back and we couldn't go forward. Then Black came to the rescue. “To your left, there's a door. It's an old janitor's closet. Get in, you can change into a uniform. Just make sure your face is hidden.”I grabbed the door handle, yanking it open and shutting it slowly behind me. The closet was small, almost claustrophobic but now wasn't the time to think about all that. I grabbed the closest uniform to me and pulled it over my head, not thinking about the musty smell. The guards were right outside and they were very close to the door. I pulled the cap over my head, covering the lower half of my face wit
MIA“Are you ready? You can't back down now.” Elara gave me a look and sighed. “I should be asking you that. What if you get caught? What will we say?” That won't happen. That can't happen. I won't allow it. Xavier surely won't allow it either. The plan was simple. Get in and get out. As simple as ABC right? Let's just hope that on the field, we don't get any surprises. I can't deal with surprises right now. Xavier was waiting for us outside along with his uncle. They looked ready to go. “Hey.” He greeted me with a smile. Magma had finally been able to cast one spell that let him see me but it wasn't going to last very long. That's why we had to do what we had to do now. If we wanted any more time, we would be at a loss. “Are you sure you want to come with us? You don't have to.” There was no turning back. Besides, I wanted to be there to pick up my bracelet myself. “It’s okay. I can handle it.” He turned back to his uncle and gave him a nod. Xerxes in turn placed his ha
XAVIER“What-what are you telling me? What does that even mean?”My brain wasn't processing thoughts right now. And certainly not what she was saying. She remained silent, staring at me like she hadn't just said words that confused me. “I’m saying…she's here. Mia. Well, not her.”The frown on my face was getting deeper because I looked around and I didn't see her. “Please tell me what you mean because you're not making any sense. Where is Mia?” She took a couple steps back and looked beside her. “She’s here. Her soul. Her soul is here.”I looked at the bare ground, trying so hard to not look stupid, knowing that there was no one there. Was Magma playing a prank on me? But she knew the severity of the situation and she wouldn't do something like that. “She said she knows you'll doubt so she said I should tell you she knows about the birth mark on your butt that you're ashamed of.”I didn't know when I started laughing. My baby was here. Not in the flesh but right here. The urge
MIAIt has been over a week since I'd been in this coma. It was hell, I was just wasting away in bed while I could be it there doing so much more. Esme was done with exams so she was coming to spend time with me. Seeing her at my side everyday broke my heart because she always spoke to me and gave me updates like I couldn't hear her. It felt like I was making her pause her life for me. In the meantime, Elana and Magma had been working on something. According to them, if I could take advantage of the full moon and cast a couple of spells, then it should reverse the effects of the poison. Easy, right? But there were only three problems. Firstly, it wasn't sure to work. It was my soul that would be casting the spells and it wasn't sure to work because it had never been done that way before. Two, I would need my powers or at least, the bracelet if I wanted the spell to work. Three, I didn't know the bloody first thing about casting spell. The chances of me turning myself into a f
XAVIERThe next two days were filled with drama. The police reached out, saying that they wanted to close the case and they needed us at the station. Madison and her father were there already, looking like they were remorseful for what they had done. Madison particularly, looked like a shadow of himself. She had lost color and her hair looked very unkempt. “Mr Volkov, are you sure you want to drop the case? You won't be able to bring it up again if you let it go.”There was no need to make things last longer. Mia was trying to move past it so much and we had other issue right now so the last thing we need is more problems. “Yes, just let it go. My lawyers will reach out to you.”Her father spoke up when he shouldn't have. “Why don't we talk about this? There's no need for the press conference. We can just settle this amicably. What does the girl want? Money? I can give her money. Let me write her a cheque.” I didn't realize when I started laughing. They all stopped to look at me
