Chapter Twenty Two: Duotone
Arthur Langdon
The three of us went to the academy without prior notice so it's only natural that they are currently holding their weapons against us with the intent to kill. Headmistress Pittman changes her form from a black raven into a human as he addresses us, "Ah the Langdon brothers, what brings you here and unannounced on top of that?"
"We're seeking temporary shelter." I replied straightforwardly
"You dare show your faces to us? You forget that your kind- your family burned this establishment to the ground a few years back just because we agreed to provide shelter for..." Headmistress Pittman pauses for a while after peeking Lyanna's face and continues, "Another girl."
"She's Raya's reincarnation."
There were gasps from everyone as headmistress continues, "All the more reasons not to help you. Goodnight gentlemen."

Lyanna StuartAs soon as the training ends with me gasping for air, our instructor Gabriella smirks as she pair us up to practice sparring and basic combat skills- which I definitely lack and before she can point out someone to be my sparring partner, an intimidating girl steps forward and throws a staff as me.I barely manages to catch it making her chuckle at me mockingly. She spits as she says, "I'll take on the human girl.""Very well Cath, our bets fighter out here shall spar with you, Ly."Everyone suddenly stops with whatever they're doing and create a circle around us like a we're the main spectacle where Cath's the roaring tiger in the cage and I'm the puny human- oh and quite literally might I add. Cath IS actually a tiger.Cath cracks her bones as she slowly transforms into a magnificent tiger by command. I look aroun and seeing their exp

JD LangdonThinking about it carefully, I can't say anything to Arthur. I can't warn them- the pack won't let me. I have to investigate into this case subtly. Who the hell are they working with? How could they throw me off the bus just like that? I'm a superior race.I have to play this right.For some reason, the danger excites my heart. I throw the coin upwards and as it landed on tails, I have decided. I smirked at the thought of it. If there's anything they should know about me is that I'm the black sheep of the family- a natural risk taker.In other words, a gambler.That night, I sneak out of the academy to meet the pack and continue on with our plan. I came over unannounced. Their surprised faces can easily tell me that they've been hiding something from me.But I had to act clueless- no reckless. They need to take the bait.&nb

----As Lyanna curiosity grows, the more she falls into the witches' traps and Raya's inside her just waiting for the time to devour Lyanna's soul and claim the body that is rightfully hers. Arthur on the other hand notices how edgy JD has been acting these past days.He's been awfully too quiet.It's odd.Arthur LangdonI don't necessarily like how JD's been too quiet. Normally, he would be eager to leave the academy and telling that Lyanna isn't safe here or be with his wolf pack but as I glanced around, JD hasn't been in contact with them since yesterday.Is he scheming something?Whatever it is, I don't like the vibes of it.I'm already suspicious of the academy and the headmistress herself. I feel a spy lurking around here somewhere. Soon after as I took off my eyes off of JD, the wolf pack appro

-----Lyanna now aware that they might be a spy among the academy strides through the hallways with more cautiousness. Someone wants her dead and even inside the academy, she isn't safe as Arthur had promised her.She can't rely on JD either because he's hot on the wolves' trail as well, as much as she hates to admit it, she's alone.Lyanna StuartAs fear and paranoia start to creep in, a familiar voice whispered to me, "Oh come on, you were never alone, Lyanna. Just let me inside that pretty little head and I'll promise to help you."I was hesistant. At first I thought it was Raya because of the voice but then, the way he spoke- there's no doubt it's Jason Bloom. He's back in my head but probably because of Arthur's spell, Jason can't enter my mind at will.I found an empty room and looked into the mirror and there I saw

Arthur LangdonAfter flying for a while, I found a safe place to drop Lyanna off and transformed back to my human form closing the buttons of my shirt. I asked Lyanna, not sounding too concern because I didn't want to alarm her.It's the last thing I want to do. The way she is right now with Raya, Lyanna is a giant ticking bomb and every step is a landmine. It's crucial that she continues to believe that abstract idea. One that JD orchestrated along with her father.It's their futile belief and effort that got us into this mess in the first place.But... it's what's saving our asses also."Do you want to talk about it?" I asked but there was no response, I looked at Lyanna and saw her expression. She seems pre-occupied with her thoughts so I drew my face near her to ask again but before I could even say anything, Lyanna hugged me.

Arthur LangdonI called the last person I'm supposed to but I couldn't trust anyone. I called JD after Lyanna left. JD came in a hurry in his dragon form. He transforms back to his human form and pins me to the tree in fury, he demands with his eyes glaring right at mine, "Where the hell is she? What did you tell her?"I glared right back to him as he lets me go. It's a dragon thing. Our eyes holds our potential and the weak instinctively surrenders to those stronger. Even an ant who's about to be squashed knows to run away.JD falls back as I said, "Don't you dare do that again, older brother.""You're the one who called me here." JD says, "I don't see any wolves around so you know I'm not against you.""I'm not entirely sure at first but I figured you don't suck at sneaking out and you don't let me catch you but these p

Arthur soon returns to the academy without any memories of what just happened and what got discussed. Lyanna happens to wake up in the middle of the night sleep walking as usual.Arthur LangdonUpon seeing Lyanna sleep walk, I immediately went towards her. I gently place my hand on her forehead so that she can avoid hitting the door then I swiftly sweep her off her feet and carried her in my arms.Lyanna was muttering in her sleep, "They do. Dragons exist."I find myself letting out a small chuckle as I remarks, "What a fascinating dream you have, little lady."I carried Lyanna all the way upstairs back to her room and just when I was about to leave. Lyanna asks in her sleep, "I wonder what their weakness are?"I flinched and looked back at her. Seeing her still asleep, I hesitantly kissed her forehead and whispers, "You Lyanna. Literally and figuratively."

Lyanna StuartI smile as despite knowing the fact that Arthur will soon disappear on me too. He didn't even lie to make me feel better. I am going to do everything it takes to live and I know Arthur will do everything for Raya.Our fates are interconnected but we have different goals.I fade into the background as I fought the urge to frown. I smiled finding it harder and harder each day to accept the fact that we will eventually walk different paths- and possibly be at each other's throat at some war, "I'll see you later, Art."I wonder if I can continue loving him in secret.I would want to.Arthur looks at me confused but he didn't say anything.We went back to the academy and just as soon, Arthur soon leaves without saying anything. I found it... a little odd. He leaves so abruptly without even gla
