Humans Vs Magic

Chapter 3

At the green house with Ms Walsh I'm getting some extra credit work. I have to help her plant Lighting Flicker. It's a plant that thunders when it's raining out and it glows yellow in the dark. Honestly it's one of the more interesting plants I feel.

I walk over to grab the plant when I see two eyes in the forest from out of the window. It doesn't look like any magical creature's eyes. The eyes stare back at me, then the eyes leave. I feel a hand on my shoulder. When I turn to who is touching me I am met with a worried look from Miss Walsh.

"Miss Walsh what was that?" The fear in my voice is unforgettable.

"I'm not exactly sure, we should just get back to work." She saids nervously.

We finish planting and I head to the dinner hall to try and find my charms teacher, Mr Grimm. He's a werewolf so we don't get to see him in class after a full moon. He needs a day to recover from the transformation. I feel so bad for werewolves it can't be easy to do that once a month. I walk up to the staff table and see him talking to another teacher, or I think he's talking to another teacher. Mr Hubburd is our history of magic teacher but he's a ghost. He has the willpower to be seen or to be completely invisible. I hope he's talking to Mr Hubburd and hasn't gone insane. I walk up to the table and Mr Hubburd becomes visible.

"Hello Harlee, what do you need?" Mr Grimm asks.

"I was just wondering if you could help me with some of my work."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"So you said I need to use my hands for the spell Gripsome but I can't just use my hands I need my wand." Harlee saids quietly.

"That's not true, you have done magic without your wand before."

"That's different, I can't do it on purpose or control it."

"Don't say you that, you are a brilliant witch."

I look down at my hands and back at them. "I don't want to hurt anyone aging." I wipers but both of them still hear me.

I walk away down to the student tables and find my friends sitting and talking. I decided that I should talk to them.

"Hey guys." I say sitting down.

"Oh hey Harlee, why won't you at dinner yesterday?" Madelyn askes raising an eyebrow.

I look over at Anabelle confused on why she didn't tell the others. She just looks away.

"I was not feeling well after my classes." I lied.

"Oh, well I'm glad you're feeling better." Madelyn smiles at me. I look over at Zoey who is still reading her book. For a couple seconds I sit there awkwardly.

"Look Zoey, I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day, I was just upset because of my past." I rub my arms nervously. She just keeps reading.

"I don't forgive you, not yet." She saids turning her back on me.

I nod. "That's far." I get up and walk outside to the forest.

As I walk I see kids running up to the school. They have a frightion look on their faces. I walk faster into the forest to see what the older kids are doing this time. Gosh they need to stop pranking the younger kids all the time. As I walk in I see small footprints. I keep walking into the forest till I hear something break a stick behind me. I turn around and see a boy with brown hair, black shirt and a pair of jeans on. He has golden brown eyes too.

"Who are you and what are you?" I yell at the boy. He puts his hands up and has a scared look on his face.

"Please don't hurt me! I'm just a kid! The boy yells back at me.

"Then answer my questions!" I walk towards the boy and he tries to back up but falls over and onto the ground.

"My name is Musty and I am human like you!" He saids fast and in one breath.

"How did you get here?" I asked more inrage that he's a human and he dares to call me one of those filthy things!

"I was with my dad and then I went into the forest! Now I'm lost! Please don't kill me!"

"I am no human, I am a witch and you are a gross thing that doesn't deserve life!"

"Wait please! I don't want to die! I have my whole life ahead of me!" He yells trying to crawl away.

My powers start lifting up the sticks and leaves around me on the ground. My eyes are filled with hatred. And the boy is crying. All of a sudden I hear yelling from behind. Ugh not know Headmistress Burce! I grab the boy and run deeper into the forest. Finally after no more yelling can be heard I stop dragging the boy and brush off my hands.

"Why did you do that?" The boy asks.

"That was the staff of the school and I don't want to get in trouble for killing a human." I say annoyed that they had to ruin my fun.

"Now what was your name again?" I ask the boy, now calmer than when he first told me.

"It's Musty, Musty Gray." He saids looking around the forest.

The trees are huge and are a dark wood. There are red spotted mushrooms all over and many blue flowers in the grass. This kinda dark but light shines in like a spotlight. It's probably the most calming place in the whole world.

"Wow how much do your parents hate you for your name to be Musty." I laugh.

"They don't hate me. At least my father doesn't." Musty mutters

"Hm anyway how old are you?"

"Oh im 13 amost 14." He saids more happily.

There is yelling behind us angin but this time no were to run. I look at the boy and come up with a horrible but brilliant idea. Quickly I grab Musty and throw lots of leaves on him.

"What the heck?"

"Quiet down! Now if you don't want to be killed go along with what I say." Musty nods.

As the feet get closer I realize who they are. Mr Jonson who is a centaur, headmistress Bruce, and Mr Simpson. I take a deep breath and calm my nerves. I hear hooves come closer so I grab the boy and hug him. I can't believe I'm doing this. I internally cry.

"Found two kids!" Mr Johnson calls to the others. Simpson and Bruce come running over.

"Harlee what are you doing this deep in the forest and who is this boy?" Headmistress Bruce looks annoyed.

"This is my boyfriend and we were running around, we didn't mean to get this far in."

"Oh what is his creature?" Mr Simpson asks suspiciously.

"He's a merman." I say off the top of my head.

Mr Sipmson looks at him closely. "Hm, well welcome to our school."

"You two should get back to school grounds, we have word that a human is in the forest." Mr Jonson tells us.

"Right we will, come on Musty." I grab his hand and lead him to the school.

We exit the forest and walk to the school. Clouds are now covering the blue sky and the wind is blowing students trying to fly around.

"Wow," this place is so cool!" Musty saids looking around at the magical creatures.

"Yeah, now come on we have to get to the dinner hall." I say walking into the school.
