Wizard's Apprentice

Part 6

I hold my cup in my hands, it was resting on the table. i look down at it,"no...I think it was just hard to..relax...or something. I...I dont know"

"Oh...." He said quietly. Maverick set his mug aside and looked at her. "Sam I need to know, what happened when you talked to the pixie?" He didn't sound demanding, his voice stayed quiet.

I drink some of my hot chocolate. I put my drink down, not having eye contact...

a...after some time of talking...I..f..finally got her to take the spell away....."

He looked unconvinced. "What did you two say?" He asked.

J..just me telling her why she needed to change back....s...she waa kinda s..stubborn. " I say with a slight chuckle

"Hm...yeah I figured that. Once a pixie changes someone it can't be undone and they take them back to their hive where they forget their human lives, families, friends, etc. And they say anything to get them to follow more willingly." He said before giving her a small smile. "I'm just glad you weren't tricked like that and this is all over with." He said, unaware of what the fae had told her.

Y..yeah...I'm glad too"I say, smiling a bit

In my mind, I was still unsure what to believe. ..

He nodded and dropped the subject for the time being, getting up to make food for them. Sadly you can't run on coffee.

I soon finish my hot chocolate. I breathe in and exhale slowly."I hope that the cocoa will help me stay awake."

He nods, feeling the same way. "Did you want to try to practice or should we take a sick day." He asked.

Though the fairy had warned her once he saw she was incapable of performing he could throw her out. So was this a test?

"I..im just going to relax in my room and s..study if thats ok with you. .."

"oh okay, that's fine with me." He said, bringing her a bowl of oatmeal with berries.

Thank you"I say. I take the bowl and begin to eat

"No problem." He replied, getting a bowl for himself and sits down beside her.

I just eat the amount I can and then I stop."I..im full....thank you for breakfast. " I say

"O-oh okay, no problem." He takes his empty dishes and yours to the sink. "Sam... Are you sure everything's okay?"

Yeah im sure sir...." I say, getting up and going to my room.I go in and close my door.

As soon as you leave he sits down and sighs, feeling so frustrated with this. He wanted to know what's wrong so he could help but didn't want to push you
