Stronger Than Magic (Jedward)

Chapter 14

I have to apologize again guys, I have so much stuff to write in school and it just keeps diminishing my inspiration. This slow prosess will most likely continue. Keep in mind that I am a 16 year old girl, I have school and a job, and every day I need to get updated about my seven idols. I know it must be annoying, but school comes first. I didn't get in to what I wanted to, and I've learnt my lession from that. I'm really sorry, but I just have to focus on school. BUT, I'm still writing and I will until the story is done. I've loved writing ever since I was 8 and I won't stop now. 

Now, enjoy this chapter and please be patient about the next ones ;)

Chapter 14

"Edward," I heard Josh calling next to me. He woke me up from my thinking. "Are you okay? You look kinda upset..." I didn't feel like answering his question, but no, I wasn't okay.

"He's worried about John," Ross added. I looked up at him with wide eyes.

"You can read minds?" I said. "You never told me..."

"And you never asked." I looked back down.

"Have you ever read John's mind?"

"A couple of times, yeah."

"What does he think about?"

"Haven't he told you? I thought you told each other everything?" I had a feeling he wasn't going to tell me what was going on in John's head.  John wasn't going to tell me either.

"He hasn't been himself lately..."

"Maybe you're not that close after all." Ouch, that hurt.

"Hey that's kind of offensive," Josh informed Ross.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean it like that, but if he haven't told you about it, he probably doesn't want you to know. It's not a big deal anyway." How could he say it was not a big deal? Did he have no idea what had happened recently? 

"Ross, you can't lie to me about this. He's different in a bad way. He has turned all cruel and evil recently, almost as if he's under an evil spell." I felt my heart beating harder. I had promised not to tell anyone about it, but I just did.

I felt the guilt growing inside of me. It was very little to feel guilty about, but John trusted me, and I couldn't take back what was said. Ross looked confused at me.

"I'm not lying," he said. "John has a very typical guy problem, that's all. Maybe that's why he has changed." I thought about it. It still didn't explain why he looked different.

"Nevermind," I breathed out and walked into the classroom. Yes, we were in a classroom for once. A proper classroom, with desks and everything.

I had just settled down when the teacher shut the door and started class.

"Alright, today we are going to discuss a very serious topic, which is darkness," he said. It felt like my brain was switched on, and it kept repeating the word. 'Darkness'. I could only see one explaination of what he meant by it. "Now, I'll start off by saying that twins are very special when it comes to magic. When twins are born, there is enough life to make one of them dark. However, if the twins are identical, they should be immune. This is because they share the same dna."

I started cold sweating and shaking. I was so close to know the truth. This had to be it, even though identical twins were supposed to be immune.

At the same time, I was hoping it wasn't it. The thought of my twin brother being surrounded by darkness gave me the chills.

"There are two very obvious signs of darkness," the teacher continued. I felt my heart beating faster. Please don't tell me that my brother is a dark wizard. "First of all, the eyes of a dark wizard are always red." As he said that, my heart dropped. "And second, the hair is very dark, usually black."

My eyes were filled with tears. I couldn't believe my own ears. I didn't want to believe any of it, but I knew it was true.

I quickly rose from my chair, and saw everyone's eyes aiming at me. I didn't know what to say - I couldn't get my words right.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?" the teacher asked me. I knew he'd seen the tears in my eyes. It was now or never.

I opened my mouth a little, and waited a few seconds to get my words right.

"My twin is becoming a dark wizard."
