Hidden Magic

Chapter Sixteen

"Who the hell are you? I know you're not students, no student would so rudely barge into my room without an invitation and they sure as hell wouldn't be doubtful whether they could be seen by people or not. Do you have anything to do with my dreams?" I cover my mouth with my hand in shock, this being the first time I had been able to mention anything about my dreams to anyone.

"I'm surprised to see that you are telling the truth for once Makin, not some exaggerated tale that you've become so fond of." They lounge around my room like it wasn't a big deal, like I hadn't even spoken to them as they ignored me in favor of speaking to each other.

"Please, Osiris, you know that Ezra is the one who exaggerates not me, why do you think I decided to check and see if he was telling the truth about the girl who could see him. I had to be sure he wasn't just mistaken because she was staring out a window or at a painting on the wall and he was in front of it." Makin was apparently the man who had appeared in my bedroom before, the man who so annoyingly called me dove, and he did indeed have purple eyes like I had assumed before, in fact as I glanced at them, they all had purple eyes.

They were actually all remarkably similar, in skin color, body shape, and eye color, their only differences were in hair color and the structure of their face, they weren't related, at least I assumed they weren't, but I suppose many siblings actually didn't look that similar. Based on their words though, Ezra was the man I had seen during my induction ceremony, the man who had so caringly put Alyssa as my mentor, they all looked like warriors, similar to Professor Arcane actually, though the very fact that they were in Sira branch, in my bedroom, with my pixie not attacking them, made me very suspicious about who they really were, now if they would only answer my questions instead of ignoring me.

"I believe the girl would like her questions answered Makin, not for us to talk over her like she isn't there, Osiris." This came from a different man, one of the three that I hadn't seen before, which included Osiris.

"Oh shut up, Valen, you just want to antagonize Makin and Osiris, don't pretend you care about what the girl has to say at all. Now, Karinna was it? I'm Landon, these are my brothers let's say, though we're not related by blood. Now I am sure you have a lot of questions, but we actually can't answer them for you right now, it isn't the right time, we do not yet know if you are worthy of the answers we have. Though you are right, we are not students here, and we do indeed know about your dreams, though we didn't cause them, now I can tell you want to ask us more, but we can't reveal anymore until we see if you are worthy, I can tell you one thing though, the answers to all your questions will be revealed to you, if you only follow your dreams." I scowl at him, not caring that they might be super powerful members of Sira branch or not, these dreams were seriously messed up and I didn't want to have them anymore.

"Follow my dreams? And when exactly will I reach the end of my dreams? Because it seems more like you are intent on torturing me by making me relieve being attacked over and over again for no reason! I sleep but only my body rests! I cannot handle this any longer! I feel like I am going insane! Please just stop them! I don't want the answers if it means I have to keep reliving those nightmares!" Landon just stares at me with pity, as the others gaze at me with varying expressions including, annoyance, disgust, anger, and amusement. Clearly my pleas meant nothing to them, they were content to let me suffer, as long as I ended up passing whatever sort of test, they had set for me.

"So full of rage for one so young, child you have not experienced enough hardships in life to be so enraged." I glared at Ezra, who the hell was he to call me child? To say I hadn't endured enough hardships in life to be angry, he didn't know the first thing about what I had had to endure.

"He means nothing by that, dove. Ignore him, he is an old man who doesn't remember how easily it is to endure hardships at even a young age, like you have. Now I know you want answers, but we can't tell you them right now, not until we know if you are worthy, and if you prove not to be worthy, you will never remember anything about us. Now sleep, follow the dream, let it be your guide to the answers you seek." Makin moves faster than I had ever seen someone move before, lying on my bed one moment and right in front of me the next, he touches my forehead, and a wave of drowsiness hits me so strong that I stumble and drop my bag, slumping right over as Makin gently holds me up so I don't hit the floor as sleep pulls me under.
