Novel & Cerita Axel Umbrella Academy

Xavier: It has been a week since Valerie's announcement. And throughout this week, she has been busy. By the time I reached the new building, the air outside was heavy with rain. The gold lettering over the door still gleamed fresh, Valerie Stone & Associates, new, defiant, hers.

He knows. He knows, he knows, he knows…. He knows about Nester. He knows my mum tied us together. He knows Everest has been tracking my magic in him. I can’t believe I let that “you know you’ll be dead without me” line slip in class. It may have been about the stabbing but Axel is a prodigy-level genius. What if he pieces it together from my words? What if… “Are you going to fucking stand there or actually take a seat?” Axel snarls at me. I shake back into reality to find him calmly placing his things on a table at the far back of the library.

The very image of freedom. Maybe I should just steal it and run. The thought makes me smile lazily. They’d never catch me. Aiden’s bike could outrun the entire campus. The only problem? I have no idea how to ride it. Still… it’s a tempting fantasy. With the scent of pine around me and the branches swaying gently in the wind, I let myself drift. The sounds of the Academy fall away, replaced by the distant rustle of leaves and the steady beat of my own heart.

The sky above them cracked again but this time not wider. Smaller. Closing. Kaelen’s eyes widened. “It’s collapsing the doorway.” Ash blinked. “Wait… she’s sending it back?” Rex didn’t speak. He watched. Because that’s exactly what was happening. The creature made one last movement. Not forward. Not attacking. Reaching. But not for her. For the space between them. For the energy. For understanding. But it was too late. The Axis pulsed. Once. Deep. Final.

So I pulled on my coat, hid my hair beneath my hood, and followed her to the arena. The place was packed with students shouting, music blasting, the crowd stomping hard enough to shake the seats. I gripped the railing as Lena helped me up the steps. We found seats near the middle. When the players rushed out, Axel Hale was impossible to miss. He was taller than most of the other players, broad-shouldered and fast. His golden hair fell in soft waves around his neck, and his hazel eyes were like a warm pool of honey. Despite that, he looked dangerous, violent and breathtakingly handsome. No wonder girls were mad about him.

I focused on my thoughts and I tried my best to recall the defense magic I learned with Sienna just in case I needed to protect myself. Three other Vampire's rapidly arrived at the scene at their customary blurry speed. They were members of the Dorwin Academy Houndcross team and they swept their peers of the ground. "What the hell is wrong with him? Feeding from the source is banned especially while enrolled," Alex communicated to one of them. He rushed over to Courtney and effectively picked her up. She was still conscious but she was dazed and slowly blinking. "Danté you need to find Coach," he started by ordering his friend before answering Alex. "Look man we're sorry, we didn't know this

The academy was vibrant and alive with possibilities, filled with students who embraced their differences and thrived in their own unique ways. “What about classes?” I asked, glancing at my uncle. “What do we actually learn here?” “Ah, that’s where Windamere truly shines,” he said, a glint of pride in his eyes. “You’ll have classes that cover everything from elemental magic to the history of supernatural creatures, self-defense, and even arts that involve emotional expression—like music and painting. The curriculum is designed to harness each student’s abilities and prepare them for the challenges they might face.” I nodded, excitement bubbling within me. “And what about sports or extracurri

It's just that I hadn't seen this tomboy-ish look on her before. "Alexaaa." I dragged out her name since she had ignored my greeting the first time. "Shut up, Devon. And don't talk to me." Alexa ordered, not even sparing me a single glance. She pulled out her notebook at the same time the teacher walked in. Well, this time, I would respect her wishes and shut up. Not for long though. After Mr.What's his name, the chemistry teacher droning on about chemical reactions of metals to acids and bases, he dropped off the statement I was waiting for.

Which was an answer. Vale swore under his breath. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Hale turned toward me fully, kneeling slightly so he could look directly into my eyes. “Arden… the place I’m taking you isn’t in any map. Not even Vale knows it exists. But it’s the only area with manual locking. No electronic access. No hacking. No overrides.” My breathing hitched. “Why does the Academy even have something like that?” Hale looked away. “Because it was built before the Academy existed.”

No embarrassing me at school, and absolutely no singing in public! Axel: (grinning) Deal, but I do reserve the right to embarrass you with my killer dance moves when you least expect it. Jasper: "....."
