Darkbridge Academy

Chapter eight

Waking up for the second time was so much easier, I was finally getting pulled back to earth, my sense's coming back sharper and more alert. I struggled with opening my eyes a little but eventually they opened, I moved my head to the side and noticed a chair with a table and candles lit up on top.

Stringing my senses further I could smell a faint distinct of new wood and a orange spicy smell. I finally decided to move my body, my arms and legs moved impossibly slow to the side of the bed my body scrunching and aching so badly.

I sat there searching around for danger or anything that would harm me or to give me some clue as to where I was. Nothing. I tiptoed out of bed and walked to the door on my right, looking around and listening I opened the door and a bathroom came into view.

The marble surfaces shining of from the light, the widely set bathroom was massive, a walk in shower one side of the room a surface top next to that and Jacuzzi/ big round bath tub on the other side and a sink and toilet. I walked into the room some more and ran my hands over the smooth soft marble surface top.

"Your hands best not be dirty as that's new!"

I jumped around startled, while I'd been marvelling at the overly nice bathroom marble I'd forgotten to keep alert. I took a step back to be cautions and looked at what can only be described as an god, bronzy coloured skin, blonde/brown hair, I'm guessing over 6 foot, toned perfectly and had dashing blue eyes.

"Why'd you sneak up on me like that? Who are you? And why am I here? Where ever here is" I asked waiting for him to answer me. I wasn't completely scared just cautious. I watched as a smile played on his lips, making him look like a mischievous little boy.

"Its not called sneaking around it's called walking into my own bathroom finding a hot girl I saved marvelling over the marble tops" he says smirking.

"Well ahh thanks for helping me, but who are you?" he'd still not answered that question yet and I was curious as to who this hot god was.

"I'm Kane, Kane Dalandeo!" he says holding out his hand, I look from his hand to his face back to his hand again then slowly walk forward and shake his hand but the minute I did a funny tingle ran through my body, I quickly let go of his hand and frown, that was strange.

I look up to his smiling face, I wonder if he'd felt that tingle or was it just me and my imagination? We stood there staring at each other till I'd had enough and wanted to go to find Maggy. Maggy oh how could I forget I hope she's okay I need to see her see if she knows of anything .

We need to have a look and train and, god there's so much to think about right know a couple of months ago I had no worries no one trying to kill me no one telling me I was to become queen of wings, which I half understood about. Damn when did life get so complicated.

"Well thanks again for err helping me but I'll be on my way now!" I say stepping to the side and trying to get out the door but he moves and blocks my path from getting out and grabs my wrist, what the fuck is his problem?

I yank my wrist back out of his hand and glare into his pools of blue eyes, they were staring back at me its as if I was hypnotized by his eyes they were hard to look away from.

"What's your problem, why are you grabbing me?" I asked the words sounding pissed of like I was.

"Sorry I didn't mean anything by it I just thought you'd have more questions to ask but if you haven't I suppose I'll let you go on your way but remember I'm here if you need me." I barely know this dude and he's saying I can come to him if I need anything is he insane or what, and for that fact he barley knows me.

"No I'm fine and thanks but I've really got to get going, hold on, on second thoughts how long have I been out of it?" yes that's the last question I'll be asking him!

He smiles and speaks, "you was out for two days straight it was weird really" huh two day damn that was a long time to be out of it, I wonder what that damn thing was I were fighting? I wonder if I killed it? I've so got to speak to Maggy.

"Okay right bye then" I smile at him and practically run out of the room down the hall.

Getting to the end of the hall I look around as to where I am, I think I'm on top floor I turn right and follow the corridor down coming to a flight of stairs, I go down to see I'm at the other side of the Academy. I walk through the doors into the sun and slightly blowing breeze, the feeling on my skin felt lovely, I walked through the grounds outside looking around the red/ pink tulips swaying in the wind.

I look up to the sky and its blue no clouds just pure hot sun, I carry on walking and across and then I catch a glimpse of something or someone, I walk a little quicker to find Riley and Maggy lying on the grass with each other Maggy tucked in Riley's arms smiling and laughing at each other, they then kissed and I could tell it was turning into more but I had to stop it as I didn't really want to watch them play tonsil tennis.

"Oh get a room you two I don't want to be watching that!" ha-ha I laugh and they both look up surprised and then Maggy jumps up and comes rushing over to me giving me a bear hug. I hug her back and then we smile Riley coming up behind Maggy and smiling as well.

"Glad your okay Lucia, Maggy and your other friend Violet is it? Have been worried sick!" he puts his hand up to his forehead and pretends to make a Phew sound and action which makes me laugh. Yes I suppose I do need to go and see Violet, see if she is okay, see if her friend is okay.

"So I got knocked out for two day, what about you Maggy did you get knocked out at all?" she was so close to me she would of got knocked out like me right?

She smiled at me slightly "No I didn't get knocked out, I got blasted out the way but knocked out and then I came rushing over to help you, when I dude came and took you to the other room you were in. He said he was going to help you and keep you safe."

Okay fair enough " Hey do any of you know where Violet is I need to go see her?"

"She maybe in your dorm room but I'm not sure" Maggy said and Riley just shrugged his shoulders.

I said my bye to them and walked of in the direction of the building, opening the door the heat inside hitting me full on, the clammy air. I reached our dorm and walked in, I heard the running water coming from the bathroom, so I sat on my bed and waited.

I'd sat here for like twenty minutes now when I heard the water shut off, I stood up and the door opened to reveal a Violet in a White fluffy towel. She looked up saw me, her eyes going big and she rushed forward embracing me in a huge bear hug.

Whoa that wasn't what I was expecting, after she'd like squeezed me to death I stood back and smiled at her, but she  

was crying?

"Violet what's a matter why are you crying like?"

"I thought you were going to die, oh Lucia I'm so glad your okay!" I smiled at her again and gave her another hug.

"Can't get rid of me that fast!" I say and do my cheesy smile.
