Magus Academy 2

Chapter 3

"Idiot," Jamie grumbled.

"Jerk," I snapped.

"Incompetent fool," He retorted.

"Stupid idiot," I spat.

"Copy cat, that basically means the same thing," Jamie said as I scoffed.

"Shut up you... you... JAMMIE DODGER!" I yelled the last bit in delight as I remembered my favourite biscuit.

"What?" Jamie snorted as I smiled.

"Yeah, jammie dodger, my favourite British biscuit!" I almost started bouncing up and down if it weren't for the fact that my arm still hurt.

I was in the infirmary, lying on the hospital bed with my now bandaged arm. The healer said that it would leave a light scar but nothing too bad.

Unfortunately, however, it bleeping hurt so much.

The only way I could actually calm down was by letting out my anger on someone and who better than Jamie, the number one idiot?

I decided to let my anger out then before the headteacher came. Obviously, something wrong happened and Mrs Blackburn wanted to know about it.

A few minutes later, the headteacher came in followed by a few of the other royals.

"You ready?" Jamie asked, with his hand lightly touching my right hand.

"Nope," I replied as Jamie smiled.

"Always the enthusiastic one, eh?" He teased.

"You bet," I winked at him whilst he rolled his eyes.

To be honest, we're either fighting or flirting _ yeah, I don't get it either.

"Lisa, can you tell me what happened?" Mrs Blackburn asked.

"Nope, I can't," I replied cheekily, causing Mrs Blackburn to roll her eyes.

I then felt Jamie slap my right arm. (See what I mean by confusing?) I bit back an insult and then said, "I'm joking, I'm joking! Ok, so I was playing on the console and then I was attacked by sparks of electricity."

"Pardon?" Mrs Blackburn raised an eyebrow and looked at me confusedly.

"Basically, sparks of electricity started flying from the console and eventually it decided for some reason to spread around the whole room. When I got nearer to it, I got injured but I think that is was tampered by magic because there is no way a console can have that much of an effect," I then explained in much more detail.

Mrs Blackburn sighed frustratedly and pressed her fingers against her temples. I saw a faint glow coming from them and I immediately knew that she was using her powers.

"Psychic. She's trying to see if the elements would show us something that might possibly happen to you," Jamie whispered to me as I nodded, my eyes never leaving Mrs Blackburn's figure.

Suddenly, the headteacher gasped and stumbled back. Thankfully Blaze, one of the royals, caught her just in time.

"What did you see?" Jamie asked calmly.

"Lisa... all bloody... dead..." Mrs Blackburn panted as Blaze sat her down at the edge of the hospital bed.

I felt Jamie stiffen beside me whilst I tried to not remember that terrible dream.

Unfortunately, I have an active mind that couldn't help but remember the horrors of my nightmare.

"The dream..." I said quietly _ I intended it to be for me to hear however, Jamie was so close that he was able to hear it as well.

Ah, screw Jamie and his bleeping closeness!

Anyway, Jamie almost instantly demanded, "What dream?"

The other's heads shot up at the sound of his question and I sank into the bed.

All of a sudden, the pillow I was lying on was very interesting. Hmm... I should probably turn around to analyze the intricate pattern of blankness.

At least, I attempted to do so. Jamie glared at me so intensely that I literally couldn't move.

"What dream?" He asked with gritted teeth.

Ah, screw Jamie and his bleepingly scary self!

I told them everything from the pictures to the writing in blood and to my dead body.

Every now and then, Sophie would gasp, encouraging me to carry on with the story.

By the end of it, I saw a mix of fearful expressions and angry ones.

"Do you-" Jamie began before I cut him off.

"Everyone in my old neighbourhood hated me," I said before Jamie could even finish asking his question.

"Yeah but do-" he tried to ask the same question again but I, wanting to be annoying, interrupted him again.

"Well, first of all, there's... there's... him," I spat the last word angrily as I remembered the traitor from last year.

"It must be... him... he's evil now," Sophie added. Although she was good at hiding her emotions, I could clearly see the look of hurt on her face.

"In that case, we will get some royal guards and station them all around this school. We shall not risk our future queen's life," Mrs Blackburn said. I wasn't quite sure who she was talking to but I still muttered a thank you to her.

To be honest, I was glad that I'd have the extra guards with me _ it made me feel safer.

As Mrs Blackburn left, everyone else gathered around the bed.

"Are you ok?" Sophie asked, sitting on the side of the hospital bed.

"I don't know," I whispered _ I then raised my voice for the others to hear, "What I do know is that I'm in danger. Serious danger."
