A magician of my own accord

Unfelt

"We need to go now!" the two women started running to the other end of the path illuminated by a pale blue light in the unending darkness. Before they could reach it both could hear cracking, halting their movement the blond women grabbed the other in a attempt to shelter her from the barrage of glass coming at them from both sides, there screaming seemed to fade out as the scene got further and further away.

Gasping for air Todd rose from his bed quickly, frantically looking around taking in quick short breaths, panicking from the dream. seeming to understand were he was he calmed down taking in deep breaths. Taking in one more he was finally calm enough to fully get coherent thoughts, the first was how stick and wet he felt from the amount of sweat drenching his skin and the bed sheets.

"Huugh I have to wash my sheets again, I just washed them yesterday." feeling already irritated his alarm rang adding to his already stressed morning. He eventually got up from his bed and grabbed his phone from the nightstand turning the alarm off.

"I really need to change my alarm, I swear iPhone alarms feel like your waking up to a cataclysmic event, though I am hard to wake up so, I guess it's worth it...probably." Todd made his way to the bathroom in a slow lazy manner. Reaching the bathroom he went to the toilet, after finishing up he shuffled his way to the sink. He grabbed his toothbrush from the cabinet and put toothpaste on it and brought the toothbrush up to his teeth, looking up to the mirror he began to brush.

As He began to finish up in the bathroom He looked at himself in the mirror one more time. He stared and stared at himself thinking. He never really looked closely at himself in the mirror, He was always busy idolizing Eliot and Margo to actually take a moment and observe his own body. Even before He came to brakebills He alway had one student he idolizing in every school He went to trying to be like them or get close to them anyway he could.

Shaking his head out his thought process Todd began to analyze any sort of change he could spot in his own features. He noticed his hair looked slightly different than he remembered touching it feeling the rough texture of his curly hair, it was longer, had a faint red tint to it that he never noticed. He looked at his eyes next, his irises were brown like they always have been, but they had silver specs in them. Todd not believing what he was seeing he moved closer to the mirror. Todd stumbled back immediately after confirming that he saw silver. He immediately closed his eyes and started counting to ten, once he reached the last number he opening them back up to the completely brown eyes.

Todd put a hand on his heart "oh my gosh that was close." He sighed in relief, he was about to leave when he noticed something off, he looked closer at the mirror to inspect it when he noticed something inside, he saw blond hair.

He stared at the mirror for a moment before trying to touch it, his right hand hovered right near the glass showing his hesitation, " maybe I shouldn't touch it." Todd thought of the all possibilities in his head, the bad ones seemed to outweigh the good ones, so he pulled away,"oh never mind Im going to touch it." In a surge of adrenaline Todd proceeded to touch the mirror.

He saw as his fingers slipp through the mirror, the reflecting surface rippling outward from His hand. Todd moved his arm deeper in the mirror all the way to his elbow before he felt something. Moving his hand around more he could feel the ruff greasy texture of hair overwhelming his touch. Trying to feel more he shoved his arm deeper until he could feel something else it felt sharp like a razor, feeling around more he felt it had jagged edges. Content on what he was touching Todd felt around more until a unbearable pain shot through his palm. On instinct he pulled back from the mirror pulling his whole arm out to show that he was stabbed with something in his right hand.

"What the fuck! I need to go to the infirmary." Panicking he ran out the bathroom and quickly made his way to his closet, sliding the door open he began to rummaging through the lot of close until he found a scarf. He began wrapping his bloodied hand with the scarf trying to hurry, finally securing it he picked out clothes in a hurry putting them on and running out his room.

Getting to the lobby of the cottage he noticed Kady, Quintin, and Alice in the living room huddled together looking at a book. He stopped at the door and looked at them. "What are you guys doing?" The three of them turned around to look at Todd.

"Nothing" they all shouted out.

"it doesn't seem like nothing" Todd countered back. They all gave each other a look then Quintin spoke up.

"We we're just trying to decipher this page." Quintin tilted the book toward Todd so he could see it, Todd skimmed over the book.

"it's music, use the piano" Todd opened the door getting ready to ready to leave, "also when you guys play it you will get transported to a different realm, just remember to blend in and all should be fine" He then walks out the door leaving the trio and starts heading toward the school infirmary.

Todd started walking toward the infirmary instead of running in case that increased the speed of blood flow, of course not wanting to lose to much blood he walked. Continuing his walk he noticed that he felt no pain, Checking his hand he pulled the scarf down a little to see if his hand had healed, still seeing the wound he pulled the scarf back up, " Why can't I feel it?" Todd began to speed up his walking trying to hurry to the infirmary.

Todd walked through the infirmary doors calling for a nurse to help him, one came and was sat down on a bed waiting waiting for professor lipson to come

professor lipson entering the room, she talked to the nurse that tended to Todd a while ago and then made her way to Him.

"So Todd what seems to be the problem?" He unwrapped the scar on his right hand and showed her.

"I was stabbed in the palm," professor lipson took Todd's hand an examined the wound.

"Well it's deep but not to deep we can easily stitch that up." She turned around and walked away returning a few minutes later with a needle and thread.

"Now since we don't have magic we have to use these, I'm hoping you a high pain tolerance because we have nothing to numb the pain this should be a quick and easy suture."

"You don't have to worry about that, for some reason I can't feel any pain in my right hand." Todd held out his hand and so professor lipson could start.

"Well then let's get started"
