All Chapters of Poison Magic: Fantasy Collection: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

I haven’t been able to hold back my emotions since yesterday. I've been a mess since this whole Abyss thing has started. It started out slow, with just a few pockets here and there of dark veined roots. Earth that wasn't quite healthy. Then the animals started dying. Then a whole town was gobbled up into darkness, with only one survivor. But whatever this is, it's been growing.Yesterday morning, I was out in the garden before the sun came up... and everything was dead! My flower garden I spend hours in. The vegetable garden. The trees. The grass. The birds and squirrels. Everything was dead! (At least I think it was.) I ran to Mom bawling my eyes out. I'm not sure I made a single coherent word. It was all blubber and snot and tears running down my face. Not my finest moment, but I couldn't stop myself! I was in so much pain.My brothers heard me crying and came to see what was wrong. They went out to inspect the gardens as well. Then I heard twin curses. I have no idea why this is ef

By the end of class, I haven't learned anything! Maybe I'll have to borrow Dia's notes. My mind is mush and my soul is aching. Maybe I should've just stayed home instead? I'm sure Mom would've given me a pass.We enter our Creative Writing class together, and Knox comes up behind her and holds Dia like he hasn't seen her in hours. Not that I'm upset. I'm actually glad Knox has finally stopped playing around. They really are perfect together.Calliope is sitting by Trey, who technically isn't part of the class, but because he's her guard, he can stay with her. Most of the guard are already graduated, like Fox and Colt. Levi and Jaxx are also graduated, but still end up around lunch time just to check on us, which is nice as long as Jaxx keeps Cassie away from us.Selene is trying to avoid Maria, and sitting with Kody... Which, if she wanted to avoid her sister, she might want to think about sitting with a different partner. Maria is practically climbing in his lap, and because he's try

That made me laugh. The guy isn't lazy, exactly. But he won't go out of his way to do extra work. If there was anyone who possessed a more laid back attitude than I do, it's this boy. Not saying he get's everything he wants, and he doesn't have to work for things. He still does. But he won't make any extra effort.I think that's part of why he flirts so much. He can get one of the girls to share their notes with him. He's a sly fox! I can't blame him for using what he's got. Maybe it will help him feel normal again.As far as him being half djinn, he does have magic and can grant a wish if he really feels like it. However, djinn are not like genies. They can be sneaky and deceptive. They can lie and be harmful, so you better be careful what you ask for. He also says it depends on the wish.Last night he asked me what I wished for."What would you wish for Chloe? Out of all the things in the world. Money, clothes, friends, cars... A lifetime supply of candy?" He joked. That little dimp

Kody came home late last night. He knocked on my door, but I pretend to be asleep. I didn't want to have him tell me about this night with another girl. I know I'm a coward, but I was already hurting. I didn't think I could deal with having him happy after a good night out.I could smell him though. Or, more like the cheap perfume Ashlynn dumps all over herself. Kody has a subtle smell, like pine needles and spice. I like that smell. Nothing else should be covering his scent. Especially that sugary crap Ashlynn prefers.I didn't want to know what they did. It was none of my business. If she made Kody happy... then I would be happy for them... or at least fake I was happy for them. He didn't need to know how I really felt.I got up early this morning, not wanting to face Kody. I'm being a coward and not a very good friend. Maybe if I can get my emotions under control I can talk to him about last night.I've been dealing with the pain from this darkness all night long. Something is maki

I don't look back. I can't! I'm crying and I have no reason to cry! I don't know if the girls are doing this on purpose (but knowing those girls, yes, they probably are) or if this is just their good luck. I'm really not in a position to find out right now.When I get to my locker my phone buzzes. Who is texting me? I doubt it would be Cal or Dia. And Kody is a little busy at the moment. Maybe it's my brothers?I'm actually shocked to find it's none of the above.Mom: Hey, sunshine. I know you aren't feeling good, but the Council has asked for you to check out the situation tomorrow. It seems to be effecting you the worst, and they are hoping you will find the source of the dark magic. -love mom.The Council asked for me? Even when I'm feeling like crap? I guess that means it's important. I can't be mad when I know what's at stake. I'm sure I can figure it out as long as I'm not on my death bed.Maybe I should ditch school and take a day off? Dia took a couple days to prepare, and she
