16. There's Always A Loophole

With her bag in her hand, Hope walked into the common room where Asher was, "Hey, you okay?" a concerned Hope asked, Nova and Mia having told her what Kol told the brothers.

"No" Asher admitted, "My mind is haywiring, can you tell Mia that I'm sorry for not joining the fight to get Landon back".

"You don't have to apologise to me, Ash" Mia assured, walking over to her best friend and brother, having heard their talk, "I'm not going alone, my squad is joining me".

Asher and Hope looked towards the entrance of the common room and their eyes landed on Nova, Jayden, Kaleb, Lizzie, Josie and Jed.

"Jayden's going with you?" an annoyed Asher asked.

"Asher" Hope warned.

"Well he was supposed to stay here with you and Alec but since both of don't want any company, he's coming with us" Mia informed.

"Where's MG at?" a curious Kaleb asked.

"He's on his way" Hope replied, "Let's load up while we wait for him, come on".

After giving Asher a small smile, Hope and the rest of the group walked outside, Mia stayed behind to talk to her brother, "You know, Alec's here as well" she said.

"So?" Asher asked.

"Come on Ash, you both found out something life changing, you shouldn't deal with it alone, if anyone will understand what you're going through, it's Alec, because it's going through the exact same thing" Mia said, she patted her brother's shoulder, "Just talk to him please, I don't want my brothers to be on the opposite sides when they need to be right by each other's side".

Mia walked away from Asher, leaving him behind to think about her words.

Mia joined the rest of the group and together they stepped out of the school, however before they could reach their van, their way was blocked by a bunch of people carrying weapons and shields.

"Oh sorry, we were about to knock".

"Who the hell are you?" an annoyed Lizzie asked.

"And why are you blocking our path?" Nova asked.

"Name's Burr, triad industries" Burr introduced.

Immediately Hope, Nova and Mia stood next to each other, Mia held her best friends hand to siphon off of them, the trio tried to use their magic to hurt the people from triad, but to their shock and confusion, their magic didn't work.

"I got this" Kaleb assured, putting his bag down on the ground, he tried to speed towards the men to attack him, but the moment he stepped into the sun, his skin started burning, he yelled in pain as he realised his daylight ring wasn't working anymore, immediately causing him to step back.

"What you don't got is magic" Burr revealed, "Which is why your daylight ring won't work, and what we have is stakes, wolfsbane, and other things, so I think you should invite us inside".

Nova, Mia and Hope glanced at each other, all three of them wondering how the hell were they supposed to fight these people without their magic.
