I'm Not Wicked

Part Three

"I got through when the Barrier was down. So sorry! Didn't mean to scare you!" Chestery said, noticing Eleanor's stunned expression.

Before she could say anything else, they heard fast footsteps and hard nocking at the door.

Gabriela quickly opened it (not getting hit in the face.), allowing Dorian to run in.

"I heard you screaming!" Dorian said to Gabriela, worry obvious in his voice.

"It's fine, Dorian." Eleanor said calmly.

She was sitting crisscross with Chestery in her lap, straightening up a crooked feather.

Dorian turned around to look at her than quickly went pail. He grabbed Gabriela's arm and pulled her behind him.

"Is that a flying monkey?!?" Dorian yelled.

"His name is Chestery." Eleanor said with annoyance.

Dorian got out his phone, typing rapidly.

"What are you doing?" Gabriela asked, a bit of worry in her voice.

Dorian snapped a picture of Eleanor with Chestery and sent it to...someone.

"I'm telling Ben about that thing!" Dorian said, again pointing at Chestery.

"What?!?" Eleanor yelled, getting up from her spot with Chestery still in her arms.

"We can't have that thing roaming around campus," Dorian said in a mater-a-factly tone, "we have to get rid of it."

"No, they'll heart him!" Eleanor yelled.

"Who cares?" Dorian said back.

"I care!" Eleanor yelled at him.

The two of them started to practically scream at each other.

"Guys," Gabriela said, trying to brake them up.

Green sparks started to appear in Eleanor's eyes.

"Guys!" Gabriela yelled, grabbing onto Eleanor's free arm.

"Stay out of this!" Eleanor yelled, pushing Gabriela away.

As she did so, a blast of green light hit Gabriela, making her fall to the ground.

Hard.

Dorian and Eleanor froze.

"Gabriela!" Eleanor yelled, starting to run towards her.

"Get away from her!" Dorian exclaimed, pushing Eleanor back and running to Gabriela.

Eleanor stayed frozen in place, shaking slightly. Her breathing uneven and shaky.

Gabriela slipped in and out of consciousness.

Dorian stood up and looked at Eleanor; she didn't take her eyes off of Gabriela.

"Look what you did!" Dorian yelled at her.

Eleanor was frozen. Her eyes never leaving Gabriela.

"I-I didn't mean-"

"And right as I was starting to trust you!" Dorian continued.

Eleanor finally looked at him, slightly gathering her thoughts.

"I would never hurt her on purpose. You know that!" She yelled at him.

Dorian let out a frustrated breath.

The two of them stayed silent as Dorian placed Gabriela nicely on her bed.

Chestery had retreated to the corner of the room. Hiding near Eleanor's book case.

"Why do you cause a commotion everywhere you go?" Dorian asked loudly.

"I don't cause commotions, I am one." Eleanor responded, looking down at Gabriela.

Dorian quietly grabbed Gabriela and walked to the door. He opened it slightly than stopped in his tracks, turning towards Eleanor.

"Than leave. All you do is cause trouble." He said quietly, emotion laced in his voice.

Dorian didn't say another word, and left Eleanor standing there with Chestery.

Chestery walked over to her, grabbing the bottom of her dress.

"Ella? Are you okay?" Chestery asked.

Eleanor picked him up, tears beginning to roll down her face, leaving red marks in their path.

"You heard him," She said through tears, "let's head back to the isle. It's not save for you here, after all."

Eleanor set him down and gave him an apple she had in her bag.

She stuffed all her things (which is counting about half the books she had) into her trunk.

She went to the back of her closet and grabbed the grimmery; which she had been hiding ever since they got to Auradon.

Well she was in there she grabbing her broomstick.

She slung her bag over her shoulder, than picked up Chestery(who had finished his apple) and grabbed her trunk.

"Alright, Chestery," Eleanor said, with tears still burning her face, "let's head home."
