Charlie's POV

''So let me get this straight, from what I understand from yesterday and just now, you're basically Robin hoods who take the law in their own hands, to find out who is actually guilty, and who isn't, which is why you helped us because, you wanted to see we got what we deserved depending on what actually happened?" Kit asked. 

I played with one of my Alchem balls, tossing it from hand to hand. 

All six of us were sitting on low benches from either side of the table for breakfast. I was at the edge and across me was Wynn. 

That dude was really similar to Ivy, they both glared, talked little, and didn't seem like people persons, but, there was something familiar about Wynn, but I couldn't quite corner it as It ran around my mind, always out of reach, the only thing that I seemed to be able to remember was the letter I. 

I as in umm... 

maybe Isotope? 

Isle? 

Science? That had a I... 

probably not... 

Irene? 

Hmm... maybe a name... 

but he said his name was Wynn, that didn't have a I... 

Was I spelling his name wrong in my head?

oh well, whatever it was, I was determined to find out. 

I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation, but seeing the three other seasons, were nodding (ugh, I can't believe I'm beginning to get used to that name) I reflected the movement.

 "So what's your story" I asked Wynn, looking carefully at his face, maybe that would trigger something. 

"I'm mostly a traveler—" He began, but I was distracted because, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ivy slowly raise a broom, then Arthur pushed it down just as slowly, while shaking his head at her. 

But Ivy being Ivy, glared at him as if to say 'back off' which knowing her was probably what she was meaning to convey to Arthur, of course he backed off  'cause no one ever wants to get on Ivy's bad side. 

Ivy slowly raised her broom again but this time she was stopped once more, but by Susan, who just narrowed her eyes, this started what I like to call a 'glaring contest' Susan was basically the only one who wasn't afraid to get on Iv's bad side. 

Wait! 

The only reason Ivy would take out a broom is if what she called 'vermin' were around, and the only 'vermin' I know is... 

Gouda! 

I looked at the table top frantically, for Gouda, but then I, being clumsy me, who wasn't paying attention to my ball I had been tossing, dropped it. 

On the table.

And of course being unlucky. 

Instead of being what I had thought it would be, a simple glitter bomb (don't judge, I like glitter!) it turned out to be one of my flash, bang, smoke bombs (I know, I'm really bad at naming things, but I'll never admit that) 

Now you see, my flash, bang, smoke bombs, first create I bright flash, then a bang then , you guessed it, smoke. 

The other thing about this Alchem ball (not Chem ball! I mean this Alchemy! Not... I don't know... Chemimy! I don't get why people keep getting that wrong), anyway the other thing about this Alchem ball is that I use it to start fires, 'cause it actually creates a fair amount of heat, and anything near it usually singes or starts a fire. 

In this case I got both.

 It singed the table, and somehow caught my sleeve on fire! 

"Ahh, eeh, ooh!" A yelled patting it down quickly with one of my nearby protective gloves. 

How did I get confused in which Alchem ball Aquarive glass container to to put this substance? I usually put it in these mini Alchem balls containers, about the size of an acorn! How could I get that exchanged! 

I should really start labelling these... 

The fire on my sleeve turned off, luckily, but I just lost a lot of my sleeve, and Ivy wasn't going to be happy. 

Sooo... before anyone could say anything I stood, and ran for my room to change yelling a quick apology over my shoulder. 

Maybe Ivy wouldn't be mad? 

Who am I kidding, she'd definitely not be frolicking around in a clearing picking flowers. 

She was going to be mad.
