The Magic Trials

Chapter 12: Aaron Shows His True Colors

Ells' POV
Chaos Magic is dark, powerful magic. The only thing that can fully destroy Chaos Magic is Lunar Magic, like water and fire. Completely opposite.

"Alright. Let me call the Healing Sprites. They are probably hurt pretty badly, getting in contact with the Chaos vines." Mr. Coal said, getting his phone and dialing a number, shutting the door to his office.

Leaving me in here, with all of the kids. We are just stood there awkwardly, until one of them stepped up.

"All right. Now, how did you manage to stay conscious and that Chaos room, Ells?!" Aaron asked, looking at me with the look of raging fire in his eyes.

"I...uhh..." I said, nervously.

Then, Aaron pushed me against the wall. The other kids just looked at the scene before them, shocked.

"I'm going to give you one last chance. Tell me how, now!" He said. He was so close I could hear his breath breathing on me.

This is just like last time. This won't end well...

"You had your chance!" He said.

Before he went to punch my guts out, the door opened. Aaron drops me to the ground.

"Ells, I need you to come with me. The rest of you, wait here. Mrs. Tyler will be on her way with the Healing Sprites."

The other kids just nodded their heads, without saying a word.

"Ells." He said, holding his office door open for me.

I walked inside and look behind me to see a very angry Aaron, as Mr. Coal shuts the door behind us.

"Go ahead and sit, Ells." He said, as he sat in his black office chair, as I sat across from him.

"Now, Ells. Tell me. What happened in that Chaos room?"

"Umm... ok. Well, we were put into a dark room, and Astrid started to glow for light."

"Glow?"

"Yeah. Fire Magic. And then we noticed the Chaos-enchanted vines, covering a door."

"...Ok, ok. Go on."

"So, Astrid, Violet, Dimitry, and Hunter used the main 4 elements of magic to create a...umm... a Lunar Sphere." I said to him nervously.

"Which caused them to black out."

"Yeah..."

I started to get even more worried of my friends. We're they going to be ok?! That plan was all my fault...

"And... how about you?"

"Well, I moved the vines while they were using the Lunar Sphere."

"So, you made contact with the vines using magic, yes?"

"Yes."

"And yet, you did not go unconscious."

"Mr. Coal, I don't understand where you're getting at. Are my friends ok?!"

"Your friends will be fine. But, you? I'm not so sure..." He said, standing up from his chair. I stood up with him.

"Ells, you're going to have to take tutoring lessons with me after school." He said, leaving me shocked, and a little upset. Was I doing worse then all of the other students?!

"But, Mr. Coal. We all do respect, but I don't need to be tutored. I know the properties of magic. I know how to use magic well!"

"It's not about your knowledge, Ells." He said, calmly.

"Look. Meet after dinner hall during your last class. I can't explain now, but you will soon see." He said, as he walked towards the door and opened it for me, as I walked out.
