Wizard Blood

Chapter 25

I thought one of us wasn't going to survive tonight. I thought one was going to kill the other. My best bet was that she was going to kill me this time with her dark magic, but no, that didn't happen. It turned out we couldn't use magic in here, in had some type of incantation that blocked any magic. Great. Good thing I had my cellphone with me.

"What are you going to do? Call your little brat friends to come and save you?" Said Leslie.

I was sitting on one side of the room and she was sitting on the opposite side.

I didn't answer.

"If you want to do them a favor, don't involve them on this problem. Learn how to get out on your own, Ozera. Friends don't last forever," she said.

"Well, that's your case. Your a bitch and don't have friends, only fake ones like the bunch of imperials you hang out with," I snapped back.

"You hang out with several ones, too. And guardians are pretty jerk ones as well," she said. "Your the only ordinary one. That's why they have to come and help you."

"Don't feel so important, because you're the daughter of a traitor!" I told her.

Even in the darkness I could see how her expression hardened, and she got red of anger.

"You don't know anything, so shut up, Ozera," she said.

"Do you want me to call you McKay or Alcazar?" I told her.

"For now, McKay in public. Whichever when nobody's listening," she answered cynically. Why did you tell on me with Ms. Salvishkov?"

"I didn't," I said. "If I had, I'd been intelligent enough to not get myself involved."

"They probably followed you," she said. "You ruined everything."

"Sorry, I'm not the dark magic freak," I said.

She just stared at me. I looked at her and realized what had happened. She was wearing her Academy sweater.

"Actually, it was your fault, even if I hadn't been there they have found you," I told her. "You're wearing the Academy's sweater."

"So?" She said confused.

"They track our location to keep control of what we do," I told her. "With all our uniforms."

"You have to be kidding!" she said surprised.

"No, we figured that out a time ago," I told her.

"That explains a lot of stuff," she murmured.

After a while she said. "Thanks."

"For what?" I said.

"For telling me about the tracker. Now I'll be more careful," she said.

"Okay?" I said a bit scared. "So what are you up too? What kind of evil plan do your father and you have?"

"None," she said flatly. "I'm not who you think I am."

"I'm pretty sure of who you are," I told her.

She just sighed. "I've spend a lot of nights up here. I can't do anything even if I wanted to so bad. Why? Because all your speculations had put Ms. Salvishkov alert of what I do. There's no moment I'm not being watched, because everyone's freaked out of me. Since the combat, that small mistake made my life go down the toilet."

I didn't know what to say.

"How is it that you use both types of magic?" I said curiously. She couldn't hurt me here so I guess I didn't risk anything.
