Cordelia mumbled in her sleep as she struggled with something deep in her mind. I wasn't reaching there and Myrtle told me not to. I walked over to Queenie who gave me a smile. "So, you're still with the school? And here I thought you'd run" Queenie tells me. "Still thinking about it" I joked, elbowing her playfully. "I'm Madison..." The girl with long blonde hair introduced herself. "I know who you are, Queenie told me all about you" I stated. "Well, then you must have heard good things" she stated. "Do you even know who you are?" Queenie asked Madison. She rolled her eyes when Cordelia suddenly had sucked in air as she woke. "Easy, dear..." Myrtle tells Cordelia. "You're alright, you're with us" Zoey whispered to her as I turned my attention onto them. "What happened?" Cordelia asked. "You fainted, and had a lot to say about it" I stated, appoarching her. "I was talking?" Cordelia questioned. "Yeah you were calling out our names. Mine, Zoey and Queenie's" I informed her. "You left me out though" Madison suddenly spoke, causing Cordelia attention to fully turn to Madison and Queenie. "Not that I'm surprised" she added as she crossed her arms against her chest. "Did you guys even know I was dead?" She then asked. "We knew..." Zoey simply says. Cordelia face was written with shock "You are back...I didn't imagine it" Cordelia happily gasped. Cordelia shot up and rushed over to Madison and Queenie, wrapping her arm tightly around them both. "Maybe you forgot, I'm not much of a hugger" Madison complained. "Tough shit" Cordelia tells her before Madison stepped away from her. Cordelia then turned to us three "I want to see him, the boy" she stated. I want to keep my mind far away from Michael.
We entered out if the hallway where everyone stood by the large fire pit to see Ariel, behold and Michael who stood behind him. "Are you alright? We were worried" Ariel spoke as they got closer to us. "Perhaps the sudden shock of sunlight after leaving this dungeon" Myrtle is quick to snap at them. "I wasn't prepared for that, seeing my girls. But I'm okay now" Cordelia announced to them. "I want to thank you for bringing them back" Cordelia spoke to Michael. "I wanted to get your attention" he says. "I think you've got that now?" Behold clearly pointed out. "He certainly does. Now I'd like all of your attention" Cordelia says. "I've been presenting something...a vision" she went on. "I believe I saw the future. A terrifying future" "Cataclysm, fire, death. I saw a man with a white face. Be was laughing at me" Cordelia tells us all. "Our academy was reduced to ashes" Cordelia says as she looked at me. "A warning..." Ariel spoke. "Maybe" Cordelia says. I looked at Michael, knowing what he was and who his real father is. "But something in my blood is telling me that the only way of surviving this depends on what I do next" Cordelia stated. "In two months time at the rise of the blood moon you will take the test of the Seven wonders" Cordelia announced. "That is, if you still want to" she added. Michael slowly appoarched Cordelia and I and the rose scent got stronger. "I do..." He spoke deeply. "Cordelia this is not done!" Myrtle shouted. "that is my decision and there is nothing that will change my mind" she spoke. She turned back to Michael "No male has ever made the attempt which is why Athena will be tutoring you along the way" Cordelia says. "What? Why me?" I asked, knitting my brows together. "Because, as of right now you are the most strong amongst us witches" She informed me. I didn't want to do this, not even a little. "If you succeed, you will be the next Supreme and it will change everything" Cordelia tells Michael.
I escorted the ladies outside. Cordelia turned to me "I'm sorry that I have to leave you here" she sighed. "It's fine, I can take care of myself" I smile. "Get back and take care of your girls" I stated. "Teach him..." She grabbed my hands tightly before pulling me into a hug. "Okay Cordelia, get back before the witches blow the house up" I joked. She nodded before pulling from me and climbing into the car. I stepped away, standing next to Ariel and Behold who watch the car disappear. "Damn, no turning back now" I sighed before turning to Behold and Ariel. "It's too hot out here, can we please move the next conversation inside?" I suggested. I entered the school. "Michael, why don't you give Miss Black here a tour of our school while we set up her sleeping situation?" Behold suggested. I groaned before rolling my eyes. "Will do sir" Michael nodded. I brushed past him and Michael caught up beside me. "I definitely didn't expect you to show up with the witches today" Michael tells me. I spun on my heel and glare at him. "Didn't expect me...Right how could you when you left me" I hiss out. "My parents found out that I was seeing you and they abandoned me Michael, they don't want me back. Ever and it's because I believed you" I shake my head. "I believed you cared about me..." I tell him. He grabbed my hand which caused me step away quickly. "I...I do care about you" he tried to tell me. "Well, fyi. If you care about someone. Learn something. Don't leave them without an explanation" I hissed out before turning and walking away from Michael. "Wait, you don't even know where you're going" he called out. "As long as it's away from you...I don't care" I hissed out. "How are you supposed to teach and train me for the Seven wonders if you can't even be in the same room as me. Let alone look at me" he pointed out. I huffed as I halted and slowly turned to him. "Fine, but this will not be anything more than just that" I stated. "Fine" he shrugged his shoulders.
