All Chapters of Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

June 2, 1995Coralis could not sleep. She barely slept the entire week, regardless of how exhausted she was. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was about to happen. Lord Meozo was the topic that was on everyone’s lips, everyone had a story to tell. The school didn’t share any news about him because they didn’t want students to panic but relatives and friends outside the school wrote about him in their letters to students.The elemental population was frightened: they didn’t want to lose their elemental powers to Lord Meozo. The students knew they were safe at school, but the school year was almost over. What would they come home to? Coralis knew the school wasn’t as secure as the administrators wanted the students to believe and that it was a matter of time before he’d come for her himself.At 4:00, she got up and went to the window to sit on the ledge. The windows were locked, but she had found a way to open them. Looking at the horizon, she saw an odd dark fog with a t

March 23, 1996Coralis was in Denmark with Martha. The school had agreed to let her play in some weekend flyball games, provided that Martha would go with her: she was still considered a minor in the elemental community.They went for coffee in town after the game. On their way back to their hotel, three vampires followed them. They sensed that something was following them, but didn’t know how many people. They tried to lose their stalkers, but they didn’t know the city.“What is it this time? I want to bait them in an alley to find out who sent them and why they’re after me this time. Lord Meozo better not be back again.”“Our stalkers are vampires. We should indeed get them to follow us into an alley, to at least lure them away from humans. Lord Meozo cannot return, you made sure of that.”“Authorities said that 15 years ago and they were dead wrong,” said Coralis.“You heard Borin when you returned to school in August. Even if he would have wanted to bring him back, there was nothin

November 19, 1999After her flyball game against Columbia, Coralis flew to Victoria’s dorm window. Victoria studied to become an optometrist. Her dad’s family was humans and she wanted to help them see better the world around them. It didn’t matter to her how gloomy the world seemed to be some days; it was still beautiful to see. Victoria wanted them to see the world for what it was: colourful, vibrant, and full of beauty.As she approached the window’s ledge, Coralis jumped off her flying stick, turned her stick into a keychain as she did so, and slid it into her cloak before transforming into her black cat form in mid-air. She landed on the window’s ledge and scratched the window.“Hey Cheetah, did we win?” said Victoria as Coralis shifted back to her mage form.“Yes! Columbia’s team is better than it was last season but they’re still lacking in cohesiveness. You missed the game?”“I just got back, university is no joke. Cegep was easy, but this is something else.”“Do you like it or

May 2, 2000For the past few months, whenever she stopped by Victoria’s dorm, she made it a habit of landing in a remote alley nearby or behind heavily shaded bushes at night. She hated Victoria’s dorm: too many humans hanging around and it became too risky to enter through her bedroom window, even if she didn’t have a roommate.Victoria wanted to talk to her about the apartment she found for July 1st. Coralis knew she was still in class so after landing, she went to a coffeehouse nearby for coffee, seeing that she had some time before Victoria returned.As she got in line to order, Frank, one of Victoria’s friends, came out of the toilets and saw her in line. He was on his way out, but for the past few months, he’d been wanting to talk to her. Every time he saw her around the campus, she was either leaving or he was the one who had to be somewhere, so he never could talk to her. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to speak to her, he decided to get in line to get another coffee.“Hey

May 7, 2000 - 22:00Shortly after the girls began dancing the night away, Frank and Mark joined them. As the evening progressed, Frank and Coralis danced more closely. While on the dancefloor, Coralis’ pager went off. She cursed and went to where the payphone was, by the bathrooms. Victoria knew that it had to be about work, but didn’t say anything.Frank could see her on the phone from where he was on the dancefloor. Seeing her facial expression, he became worried and went to her as the DJ put on a slow song, which didn’t go unnoticed by Mark.He caught the end of her conversation and heard her telling the person on the other end of the line that she’d be on her way, and saw her hanging up the phone with force, nearly breaking the receptacle.“Is everything okay?” said Frank, leaning against the wall by the payphone.Coralis was surprised to see him there: she didn’t sense him coming and wondered how much he heard of her conversation.“Do you absolutely have to leave now?” continued F
