Shining Heroes

Chapter 71

*POV change to Shining dragon*

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Mood asked as we pulled up to the veterinary clinic Mozart was at. "Especially with my sister running an investigation at the base right now."

"Yes I cant leave him alone especially in his current state."

I got out of the car and headed inside. After a few minutes Mozart was brought out to us and I paid for his medicine and care.

It didn't take long for us to put him in the car and head back to the school. Mozart immediately cuddled into my lap at the opening of my jacket.

"Do you have a plan on how to sneak him in?" She asked without looking over.

"Sort of." I said while stroking Mozart's head and checking my phone. "I'm going to hide him in my jacket. Carefully of course because of his leg."

"Is that all?" Mood asked as she glanced over at me.

Both of our phones buzzed but she was too busy driving to worry about her phone. So I checked it and I realized Claire actually managed to get the distraction we needed.

"No. Lightspeed is causing a distraction for us, but if you're willing I need you to distract anyone that doesn't care about what she's doing."

"And what exactly is she doing?"

"She chose to challenge Spark." I laughed. "Apparently she managed to get approval from one of the instructors."

Mood sighed as she parked the car. She took a moment like she was trying to decide if she was going to help or not.

"You're lucky I love you, because we can get into a lot of trouble for this."

"Thank you."

I carefully maneuvered Mozart to where I could hold him inside of my jacket while it was zipped up.

At first her mewed, but then after he made himself comfortable he let out soft purs against my abdomen.

For most of the ways back to the dorms no one paid any attention to either of us. That was until we got to the hall where Mood's sister was knocking on Mood's door.

"Oh there you are." She has an overly sweet smile plastered on her face.

Then she looked over at me and smirked as she removed her sunglasses.

"Hello Shining dragon." The tone of her voice told me she was up to something.

"Mood she's makes me uncomfortable..." I muttered out before my brain could even process what was being said.

"Parle français./Speak french." Mood quickly ordered while glaring at her sister. "Tu ne peux pas combattre ses pouvoirs./You can't fight her powers."

While Mood had ordered me to shift languages I ended up rambling more about how I was uncomfortable with her sister; while I had been trying to fight her powers.

"J'aime bien quand tu parles français./I like it when you speak French." I said after quickly switching to speaking French.

I quickly threw my hand over my mouth and Mood quickly looked back at me with a raised eyebrow. She seemed to be trying to hide her  embarrassment.

"I have things I need to..." Mood refused to make eye contact with me now.

"Wait what did she say?" Her sister immediately demanded. "What did you say?"

I wasn't sure if her sister was being protective of Mood right now or just continuing with her bratty behavior.

"Je ne veux pas dire ça comme ça./I don't mean it like that." I quickly said to Mood.

While I was being honest about what I said I really didn't mean it the way it came out. I was also slightly worried she was about to leave me alone with her sister.

"Je veux dire que c'est réconfortant./I mean its comforting."

"Hey speak English!" Her sister yelled at me.

Her behavior quickly escalated into being identical to a spoiled brat who was told no for the first time. While Mood seemed to have calmed back down after I somewhat explained what I meant.

"C'est déconcertant à quel point elle vous ressemble, mais elle agit si différemment./It's baffling how much she looks like you, but she acts so different." I stated while looking between the two of them.

"Speak English!" She yelled at me again.

It was obvious now that she wasn't forcing me to spill any truths anymore, and that she was mad that she couldn't understand us.

"Putain./Goddamn." I muttered.

I looked over at her sister who started to throw a tantrum. She looked over at Mood and tightly squeezed her sunglasses in her hand. Like she had expected Mood to tell me to listen to her.

"Elle aime agir comme une enfant et abuser de ses pouvoirs pour s'amuser./She likes to act like a child and abuse her powers for fun." Mood calmly explained without even glancing back to her sister.

"Hey I'm talking to you the both of you." Her sister grumbled while crossing her arms.

"Bientôt elle se fâchera et partira./Soon she will get angry and leave." Mood added and glanced over towards her sister for the first time in this conversation.

"When ever you are done acting childish I need to talk to you about my investigation." Her sister pouted before stomping away.

After she was out of sight I didn't waste another second before going into my dorm where I saw all the items Claire got for me were sitting on my bed or right next to it.

Everything was pretty much easy to hide in a pinch.

Mood pulled out a cat bed as I carefully took Mozart out of my jacket and laid the sleeping kitten in the bed.

"I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the cat." Mood said while carefully petting his head.

"I'm not going to lie, I was more paniced about her making me make a fool of myself more than I already was."

"Who ever said you made a fool of yourself?" She looked at me like she was slightly amused.

"Please." I rolled my eyes and leaned against my desk. "You know what I'm talking about."

She softly laughed while shaking her head. She knew exactly what I was referring to.

"I'm sorry that came out weird." I said while scratching the back of my neck.

"I really should get going? My sister isn't going to wait all day." She moved for the door as if she was trying to avoid the conversation of what I said all together.

"Mood." I called out to her and quickly straightened myself out. "I was serious about it being comforting when you speak French. I'm not sure why but it is."

She had stopped right infront of the door almsot like she wanted to say something, so I walked over to her.

"Thank you for helping me with your sister, and not leaving me alone." I said before cautiously kissing her cheek and taking a step back. "I'll be in here with Mozart if you need me."
