Everything is not always as it seems

Ah back so soon?

It was the last day of school (outfit 19) we came home with our yearbooks. Alex stole Justin R's yearbook, since to her it wasn't being used. No one had bother signing his, and I didn't want one so I'd bought one but given it to Alex anyways, so now she officially had 3, and it was more likely my Justin and Jack would use it now instead of her.

Shortly after arriving home, we went right into wizard lessons. Just because it was summer break for regular school didn't mean we suddenly stopped learning magic. Today we were learning about wizard mail. You could basically send any mail, or rather anything other than mail including mail through a portal to go somewhere. We had to use a key to open the portal, and the mail would be getting taken where it was going by a pigeon.

Kind like in Harry Potter where the mail gets delivered by owls, which this is based off of that concept. In the letter it was a letter for Wiz Tech, its a boarding school for wizards, like summer school, and when you get done there, you can go to Transylvania for the wizarding college, and he'll also be miles away from Alex, which they were both glad about. I'll miss you. I said giving him a big hug. He hugged me back rubbing my back. I'll miss you too Farrah, but I won't be gone long, its just for the summer.

While mom and dad went to go run out and grab things to help get Justin ready to go to exactly where I just came from, except on his own free will, Alex's stuff was everywhere, and she thought it would take forever. But then I told her she could just take what we learned from wizard class to clean it up and be done in 5 mins.

But, it was more like a vacuum and it sucked everything up, and we do mean everything. And then it was beyond clean, because there was nothing there, and then our parents came home and we wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to run or to hide so we tried our best to act natural.

But the next thing I knew, mom and dad were sending us all to Wiz Tech because Alex was so undisciplined, and I insisted that if she was leaving I would suffer too because it was my idea for her to use what she learned in class to clean up her mess, and my friends agreed that if I was going back so were they.

Our brother didn't want Alex to stay and neither did Alex. And our parents promised that this would be good for all of us, and that time would fly by. Well, this family thing was fun for a short while, but Jack, Justin we should probably go back to our room now. And await any punishment that comes our way, and to be prepared to be set to lock down mode.

Farrah, there's nothing to worry about we'll be here with you. But, that was short lived Evilini came to see us, and told my siblings they'd be in class together with her, and then she looked at me and my friends. Ah, Farrah and squad there you are, back so soon from your felid trip? I hope you all enjoyed it because well you know that your room is that way, and that I'll be in shortly.

I knew that meant that was code for, now that we're back, we might as well say goodbye to everyone, this was probably the last time we'd see them. As for you two Justin and Jack, you might want to say your goodbyes as well. Our parents had left by this point. What do you mean? The 3 of you will becoming.... Separated! All: No! The 3 of us cried. We used our magic to chain ourselves together.

Friendship is stronger than any form of magic, just try to break us apart! My boys are my family, you separate us together or not at all. Fine, you win this round, but just wait until Crumbs gets his hands on the 3 of you, you all are in big trouble! Back at home, Max was loving being the only child and now with the rest of us gone he could do the things he's been wanting to do with dad. One of those things was camping, so they made a bet with mom that they camp for 3 days out on the terrace and if they come in they lose. Oh men and their pride.

In class, my brother was the best of his class, like usual, and Alex met a tiny Giant named Hugh, and they were kind of like friends, but not really. And me and my friends were back in my cage like room, awaiting punishment by Crumbs for our unauthorized field trip, and magic use. What do you think he's gonna do to us? Nothing he probably hasn't done already, but he would never go as far as separating us Evilini was just trying to scare us.

Well mission accomplished. I don't want to lose you guys, they can't separate us. I'd die before I let them do that. I'm sure the worse he can do is suspend our powers for as much time as he sees fit. For whatever reason he didn't want me living with my family, and he was worried that I'd take over the world and become evil so he doesn't train me while I'm here, however that doesn't stop us from sneaking into classes anyways or training ourselves.

And because we can just flick our wands and be in different clothes we didn't have to worry about changing, since it was also our bedroom. It was a 3 person bunk bed, where I was on the very bottom and the guys took turns over the other beds. I'm just glad it was bigger than it looks in there. But here Justin was the cool one and Alex was a loser, and everyone hated her, she even got detention on her first day.

Hey? I called. Hi, how are you doing? Not super good, but at least Crumb's only punishment for us was to do chores and detention jobs. Need some help? I'm sorry I got you into this mess. No, Alex I suggested it. Yeah, but I followed through. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Well welcome to my humble home, if it wasn't a boarding school that I was the prisoner of me and my friends would have a blast being in a castle.

Wanna come have lunch with us in our room? He at least lets us have whatever food we want. As long as he's basically all but kidnapping us here? Where does Harper think your Justin is? Summer camp. Do they know he was "gone" for 14 years? No, we cast a spell we learned to replace their memories to make them think Justin is related to them and have memories of them with him in their lives. What about his real family? His parents died when he was really little they were wizards too, Harper's family was really good friends with his family, and they knew about them, but not about Justin, and their the family that is supposed to take care of him if something bad happens to him but to tell people he's their cousin, but Harper doesn't know any of this.

And Jack? Jack's not a real wizard he was given more powers to make it seem like he was, he's really a guardian of childhood he's immortal and the bringer of winter, part of his guardian job was to watch and look after me, at night he does his job and mother nature helps him, but we're housing him since he doesn't have anywhere to go, and he's supposed to stay with me.

No one knows what Jack really is, and I wasn't really supposed to tell you, but you're my twin so I figure you'll keep this between us. Of course I will I wouldn't want you guys to get in trouble, or at least more than you already are already. I'm just surprised he didn't take away our powers again. Again? Yeah when we get punished, sometimes its as sever as taking away our powers, not like we're using them much anyways while we're here.

Evilini was teaching my brother Justin how to play 12 ball, Alex was trying to mail herself home. But all mail gets sent straight to Evilini, and then she had to clean with the discipline bucket, and it was one of my jobs also to help clean, and I joined her, but with her messenger fish, he flopped down the stairs and revealed his message that she was sending to her mother about how the winner of the 12 ball tournament was gonna go to some volcano and get his powers drained, and Evilini was planning on our brother winning which meant she was planning on making sure our brother won so that he'd get his powers drained.

Well what do you expect by a teacher in this prison named Evilini, her name has the word evil in it, and we had to tell Justin what was going on immediately, but unfortunately, we had no real proof and it would be our word against a staff member's word and his best friends are the staff as he's pointed out. But we couldn't let his powers get drained. And if he won.... I'd sacrifice myself and my own powers, my brother needed his powers, it was clear that no one thought I deserved my powers, and I'd forever be Crumb's prisoner, and as long as my family was safe, even if it meant that I'd never see them again, and I'd never be able to do magic again, it was still worth it as long as my brother didn't get his drained, as long as nothing bad happened to my family.

To be continued....
