All Chapters of Poison Magic: Fantasy Collection: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I quickly take a shower and change. I put on a black and red tank top (to match my hair. Like Knox having blue tips in his silver hair, I end up having red streaks in my black hair. It's totally wicked! And believe it or not, we were born like that.) and a pair of cut offs and my sneakers. I run a brush through my hair and put it up in a sloppy pony. I'm not impressing anyone, and I really don't give a damn about what I look like this morning. I'm too freaking tired to care!I grab my bag and sling it over my shoulder and grab an apple and rush from the house. However, when I get out, I sigh and look at my bike. I love my motorcycle, but I'm too tired to ride it... I really don't feel like crashing on my way to school, so instead, I just walk.It's not like I've got to hurry anyway. I'm leaving super early, so I mosey on down to the school munching on my juicy apple. I know I'm going to get hungry later, but I've got emergency chocolate in my locker. You never know when hunger strikes

I gulp. What does he want? And why did he have to reach for me? He doesn't have to touch me to get my attention! Just him calling my name was enough to stop me in my tracks.I'm pretty sure he can tell just by touching me that my pulse has increased, and now I'm sweating, and electrical pulses of his magic are running from where he has my wrist up to my shoulder. I know he's doing this on purpose, but why? If he doesn't want me, why is he mingling our magic?"Yeah?" I ask. Why the hell is my voice all shaky? I'm not nervous! I don't care how my heart is pounding behind my rib cage. I can't have him. Water and fire just don't mix! He knows this, so what the hell does he think he's doing to me?Levi swallow hard. Why is he nervous? If he is nervous then I most definitely should be nervous... Or not! I'm not nervous! I'm just... apprehensive about what he has to say."You don't have a guard. You can't go on your own... I asked to be your guard," he states, like it's no big deal. Like he

On the other hand, Levi looks to have a swallowed a lemon. "I don't need a babysitter Knox. I'm not going to let your sister get hurt," he promises. He seems really reluctant to let Knox come along... which is weird because Levi and Knox are best friends... despite the age difference. I don't even know how it happened. I just know Levi spent a lot of time with Knox when we were little, and he still does.Levi is almost 2 years older than the two of us. Knox and I both turn 18 on September 8th, and Levi turns 20 October 4th. It's not a huge age difference, but he was two grades above us when he was still in high school. And yet, he sat with us every single day. Levi and Knox talked science... yuck! (See, he's not stupid... just an idiot!)To be honest, I'm confused why he's still hanging around us. He should've found his own mate by now. He's attending Enchanted University and studying History of Magic and Science. I swear the guy's a genius! And somehow, that just makes him sexier. I

Keeping his eyes focused on the road, he rubs slow circles on my inner thigh. There is no way my body won't respond to this without him knowing. My suspicions are confirmed when he takes a deep breath and growls, sending need to my core. What the hell does he think he's doing?!"I'm sure you'll figure it out soon, Phoebe," he chuckles as he squeezes my thigh one more time and let's go.The moment he removes his hand, my entire body feels empty and sad. I can hear a dark chuckle coming from Levi's chest... I'm still trying to figure out why the hell he did that to me in the first place!And did he call me 'my little bird?' I don't understand! Since when has he gotten so possessive of me? He's the one who insisted it would never work... so why is he doing this now?I look behind me and sigh in relief. Knox hasn't noticed a damn thing! Thank the stars for that. I don't need him questioning his best friends new interest in his sister... Especially when I don't even know what's going on!A

I don't know how long Levi holds me before my brother breaks into my dark thoughts. But Levi is reluctant to let me go as he continues to comfort me."Um, guys. I don't mean to break this up, but uh... what do we do now?" Knox asks. He stands behind me and puts a comforting hand on my shoulder. It's nice to know I have his support when I'm having a break down like this.I'm actually surprised he hasn't said anything about Levi holding me until now. He didn't say anything about him calling me baby either... I guess Knox didn't hear him, because I doubt he'd have let that slide otherwise. Maybe he just knows I need someone to hold me, and he was giving me some space.I appreciate it. I don't know if Knox would be so willing to hold me like Levi had. And as much as I love my brother, the dude is not a patient person. He would've given me a quick hug and pulled away.But he's right. I can't stay here crying. (I can do that when I get home and I'll have time to process all of this) I need
