191_The First Test

Elora's POVWhen we approached the bouncer before the door, he eyed us warily, bald head and bushy chinstrap curtain making him look menacing. My chest tightened as we approached him, and my thundering heart threatened to jump out of my chest, as I struggled to breathe normally. Davina touched my arm slightly and spoke in my head.“Get your shits together, Stark,” her voice was a huff. “Make this easy for both of us.”“I’m trying,” I replied in her head. “Passes,” the husky man offered a hand, eyes narrow. Davina presented hers with a flourish. As I handed my pass, my hands shook a little. The man snatched it and lifted it in the air, eyes narrow as he examined it.“Did you think someone could fake those passes?” Davina huffed aloud at the man.He grunted. “Some have done it before. Travelers. You both radiate the same magical energy. I need to be sure.”“I see,” Davina grumbled. “Make it quick. You’re boring me.”The man turned the card again and again, then lifted the other car

193_Back to the Labyrinth

Elora's POVWhen I walked through the darkness-filled entrance, I was surprised to find myself in a familiar place. The ground was clay, and I was surrounded by cave walls with markings glowing brightly and faintly. For a moment, I didn’t move. I looked this way and that way, just to be sure. I was in the labyrinth.I blinked. This has to be some kind of mistake. Why am I in the labyrinth?As I looked around me, glancing behind, Davina materialized before me. Her eyes widened slightly when our gaze met. “Elora,” she took a brisk few steps before me, grabbing my shoulder and pressing my arms so hard. “Uh… Davina?”“I wanted to be sure you were not an illusion,” she said.“Well, I’m not.” I frowned a little. “Why are we in the labyrinth?” Davina shook her head. “This is supposed to be an illusion.” She made the gesture she did inside the school building, and I looked around, waiting for the atmosphere to shimmer. Nothing happened.“Uh… did you cast the spell correctly?” I asked, l

194_Unplanned Interruption

Lloyd's POVI stood, body stiff, as I looked at the space where the vortex had once been. The image of what happened replayed in my head. I’d seen Xavier running before hands grabbed him. His hands flared as he struggled, but the people who held him were way stronger. He fought to follow me and failed.I wondered where they were taking him and what they might do to him. If I wanted to find him, I might as well leave the labyrinth and head back to the school. But that would be too late. I’d fail to find him because the illusion would already be gone, and there would be no way to find him.Slowly, I turned around to take in the labyrinth, wondering if this was another illusion or if everything was real this time. It wouldn’t make sense that I was in the labyrinth of all places.Either this is a magical glitch, or I’m somewhere lost in my memory of a labyrinth.A small air rustled my hair. It was none of what I thought. I was in the labyrinth.As I stood there, an idea hit me. I do

195_Diffusion and Control

Elora's POV“I should be asking you the same question,” I frowned at Zack. One hand slipped into my dress, fiddling with the strap beneath, and rubbing against the penknife I had hidden.I knew that trying to summon magic in this supernaturally charged environment would be a waste of time. I’ve heard of people losing their powers just by casting magic in magically charged places with a vortex entrance and exit. Having the penknife hidden was a practical method. I may not be able to cast magic, but I’m sure I can fight. I’ve beaten Zack before, so it won’t be so difficult to beat him again. Zack glanced this way and that way, then leaned closer. “My fiancée may have saved you the other time, but look around you.” He hushed.Against my wish, I glanced around the room. There was no sign of Mira. “That’s right,” he continued. “One wrong move from you, and you’ll be leaving here in a body bag.”“Apologies,” I smirked a little. “But I guess you should be telling yourself that.”Zack’s

196_Through the Gates

Lloyd's POVI took a quick assessment of the front yard. The threat wasn’t as serious as I assumed it would be. I could take all the men standing here in one go, but it would benefit me more if I went in there with stealth. I walked out of the woods and across the asphalt, crouching behind the shrubs that surrounded the house. While there were a lot of cars parked across the building, there were only minimal people around apart from the husky guys patrolling the building. I took a head count. There were five guys outside.By the door was one guy, unmoving. I took him in. He was so busy with whatever he was looking at on his phone. He probably thought he’d got the front door covered, so I’ll leave him to it. The two guys beside him on the lawn would occasionally walk to the back and out. I timed them with my phone. Nine seconds.That was short, but if I make a run for it, I won’t be caught. I timed the patrolling guys again. By all means, I have to enter there without getting t

197_By the Windowsill

Elora's POVAs soon as I got to a safe corner of the house, I ignored Davina’s rambling about how silly the cloak and the mask they gave us were. Pulling my phone from the strap within my dress, I turned on the backlight to see two messages from Klaus. “Damn it,” I spat. Klaus picked this time to reach me, of all times. I wanted to ignore it, but I couldn't. A gut feeling that what he sent me could be related to what we were here for troubled me. I glanced around the room again, and a thought hit me. Everyone in the room who wasn’t chatting with anyone was either looking for a perfect hideout to wear the clothing, or was examining it. I slid the device into the folds of the black cloth, letting half of my screen peek through, and then glanced around. This looked subtle enough. No one would notice what I was doing at all. I scrolled down Klaus’s old messages to the recent ones, reading the first dialogue box. I FOUND WERIDO. SHE’S NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS.I paused. A she? The ‘werid

198_The Disembodied Spirit

Lloyd's POVAs Zack finished speaking, he shot me an ugly smirk, and with one last look at Elora, he sauntered off. Elora and I shared a look and she sighed.“I’m sorry about… that. I didn’t know he was here,” Elora said, glancing back briefly.I shook my head. “It’s alright. I’d be surprised if he were not here. I should go.”“Wait,” she stopped me before I could duck away. “There’s something you should know.”I looked left and right to be sure that my coast was still clear. With one last look in the lounge to find where Zeke was standing, I focused on Elora.“Okay?”“I found a contact on Zeke’s phone,” she started. “It was weird at first, because I was the only one he's ever called that, but the contact wasn't mine. So, I met some rogues to help me check it out.”“Did you say ‘rogues?” I blinked at her and she nodded.“They’re good at what they do,” she defended. “And besides, their chief owed me a favor.”“And you didn’t tell me about it,” I added with a purr.“I’m sorry,” she came

199_Symbol on the Neck

Elora's POVDavina tapped her hand on Lloyd’s forehead, and he vanished in a poof. I glared at her. “We’ve told you before. Stop that.”“It was the only way of saving him from being caught,” Davina replied.“Are you doing okay?” A baritone interrupted us. It took everything in me not to flinch. As Elora pushed the window closed, I turned to see a bald, pretty boy.“We’re fine, thank you,” I said with zero smile on my face.“I was thinking you had someone out there,” he gestured to the closed window. “But it seems like you both were having an argument.”“We’re cool,” Davina said sharply. “I was just telling her about how I’d prefer a night of marshmallows over the whole thing going on here. I mean, she dragged me into following her.”“Davina!” I called.“See what I’m telling you?” She continued. “She can’t even let me have a conversation with a cute boy. She always wants to be in charge.”The man leaned away with a cringe. “I probably shouldn’t get into this conversation.” He said and

200_On the Run

Lloyd's POVAs I rounded the bend to the back of the building, I heard glass shatter and the thudding of shoes running toward me. For a moment, I froze. I knew that running back to the front yard was a huge mistake. That’d mean running into the guards I’d tried to evade earlier, and that wouldn’t make any sense. Then my eyes noticed the fence and the thick woods ahead. It was the only escape plan in sight, but there was a problem. No one could tell the kind of ferals and rogues lurking inside those woods. Dealing with ferals sounded like a better plan than having those evil witches get to me or running into their guards.I jumped the dwarf fence and ran like hell.Behind me, the two figures had made the corner, jumping the fence and running after me as well. It was puzzling for a moment. Why did they run after me when they should have cast spells? Was something the problem?”Then it hit me. If they can’t cast spells, then dealing with them should be easy. All I need to do is to s
