~THE UNDERWORLDS~

Hidden POV

"She should never get her mage powers, find a way to fucking stop it before it consumes us" I rasped and Aaliyah began fidgeting

"You know the only one who can stop Ariana is Lord Santiago but he's still nowhere to be found" she lowered her gaze

"You wouldn't call him and he answers. He comes when he wishes" I frowned

"So what do we do? We can't let Ariana fully come to her mage's powers or else we would be done for, she will become untouchable. Remember the background she's from" Aaliyah reminded dreadfully and I found myself quivering in fear.

"No matter what we need to find that body he's in, he must finish what he started" I fumed causing her to wince.

Am fully aware of the fact that it's impossible to find him or else we have a Spell Caster by our side. But also every supernatural who isn't from the Underworlds is always a Shiveral.

Olympia's POV

My heart skipped at the voice, I began cringing backwards without turning to look at the person. I'm in a huge sack of trouble.

"I hate repeating myself" his voice lowered dangerously and goosebumps covered my whole body as my breath begins to pick. Why is a mere voice affecting me this way?

I slowly made a turn around to see the most grim and menacing face I'd ever seen. He looked calm but deadly.

Beautiful-handsome model

Noo!

He's the King of Magical Institute!

What mess have I gotten myself into!? Why is he here in the first place? Does a King go for yoga?

I swiftly shook my thoughts away as he started taking short steps towards me, he had this murderous and belligerent aura that accompanied him. His meadow eyes seemed to be piercing into my soul, forcing me to open my yap.

"Ahem....I'm...I'm Olympia Brandon sir" I stammered with my gaze casted to the floor. His eyes were just so daring but at the same time vermin-like.

I clenched my eyes in undescribable fear, I have never been this scared my whole life. Not even my strict father could make my skin prickle in fear.

"What are you doing here?" his voice ran again in my ears and I nippled my palms with my mind going haywire. I bit my lips from sobbing because his voice was a poison to my ears.

"Ahh..I...I..was just t-t-trying out.....my teleportation...I mean my Beaming powers" I stuttered as I bit my lips again very hard. A soft silence settled, it was very awkward.

At this point I just want to teleport back to my room and pretend like all of this was just some bad dream. The tension in the yoga room was becoming thick as I slowly raised my head up.

A smirk tugged his lips and when his eyes met mine, his face darkened. I caught him smirking at me a while ago, he's so fast in morphing.

"In this institution you don't make use of your powers without specific reasons" he warned and I swallowed hard. He changes faster than a chameleon. But my reason was specific wasn't it?

"Now teleport back" he ordered and I felt my tail was being tucked between my legs because of my shivering. I didn't even hesitate and teleported back.

I was back in my room now standing right in front of the mirror. I continued panting to catch my breath, I just realized that I had been holding my breath all these while.

How can one's voice and mere presence be so commanding? I don't even know why I was so scared. Was it because of his aura or his killer voice?

Olympia snap out! it was both.

Just then the door fell open and I spotted Piper walk in through the mirror.

"Goodnight" she said and lay on her bed. I furrowed my eyebrows at her. Top weird!

Anneliese's POV

My eyes were cracked open because of a slight headache. I got down my bed, I just couldn't sleep. I left my room heading to Jason's room, I didn't want to bother my parents.

I knocked severally on his door but no response. I knocked a few times more but still nothing. I pushed the door quietly and it opened.

The room was so creeping dark, is Jason even home?

"Jason! Jason!" I called out and stepped into the room only for the door to shut close. I shivered and tried opening it but it wouldn't open, soon I began hearing a voice.

"I need to leave this body. I need to leave this body! I need to leave this body!!" the voice screamed and I screamed alongside with it.

Mom and dad rushed into my room as I woke up. Fear was swallowing me up as beads of sweat formed on my forehead.

Mom carried me as she stoked my hair, "Baby, relax it was just a dream"

"It's okay princess" Father assured and held me close. Who owns that voice? Which body does he want to leave?

Olympia's POV

"Anneliese!" I screamed as I woke up, hyperventilating heavily. I didn't have any dream or nightmare about her, I just found myself shouting her name.

Piper quickly rushed to me with concern laced in her eyes, it was already a new day bright and beautiful but that's an odd way to wake up in such a lovely day.

"A-Are you okay?" she asked tenderly and I swallowed hard.

"It was just a nightmare" I assured and made my way into the bathroom to take a shower. It's already morning and Lindy would be here anytime soon.

After few minutes I came out, already dressed for lectures. Piper furrowed her eyebrows at me as her eyes swept over my body.

"You are having class today?" she asked with her question sounding more like a sentence.

"Well yes I think so" I answered unsure and she giggled a bit. What's funny?

"I don't think so, in this institute our weekends begins from Friday till Sunday. So just loosen up a bit before next week" she smiled and went back to reading her book.

I mouthed an 'O', well that's understandable I guess. There's so much I don't know about this institution. Now I truly believe that 'Learning occurs everyday"

I lay back on my bed taking in a heave of breath. What happened this morning flashed back in my mind. I hope Anneliese is okay. A knock sounded on the door, drawing me back to reality.

I went to open it and found Lindy standing there with a smile on her face.

"C'mon let's go" she said and I gave a pejorative look.

"I think there isn't any class today" I said with my arms crossed against my chest

"Well yeah...but that doesn't mean we can't hang out today at least for breakfast. Wait, who told you our weekend starts on Friday?" she arched her eyebrows at me.

I sidestepped for her to see Piper who was now staring at us. Lindy's expression changed immediately her eyes were casted on Piper and it muddled me.
