The Last FrostWizard

Keeping Secrets

CHAPTER IX: Keeping Secrets

Joel's POV

I hate being in the infirmary because I feel so weak. But the worst of all was that when Naomie was in trouble, I couldn't do nothing but stay in the ground letting her and the hybrid battling until it leaved her alone.

Of course, I saved her. But still I knew I could have done more if I'd trained more before leaving for an A-Class mission.

"Hey, Gray. Wait a mo" I said.

"Why you call me Gray and why you said a mo?" Nicko asked.

"I usually call people by their last name except for Chris, Max, Alice, and Naomie 'cause they are twins and a 'mo' is my abbreviation for a 'moment' if you understand me" I said.

"Of course I understand" said Nicko.

"I'm going to talk to Chris and Jet" I said. "You can practice or do whatever you want" I said.

"Alright" said Nicko.

As I directed towards Chris, I saw him talking to Claire very cheerfully. -Good. They must be dating by now- I thought.

"Hey Chris, hey Dawson" I said. "Are you still in the friend zone?"

"Dude, that's not funny. We are just good friends and that's all" said Chris kind of serious.

But as his friend, I knew when he was lying and when he likes a girl and the two of 'em were playing across his face.

"Yeah we are just good friends" said Claire kind of disappointed. "How are you doing with Naomie? Are you two still in the friend zone?"

"Hey, one thing is the relationship between the two of you and another is the relationship between me and Naomie" I said.

"Whatever" said the two of 'em.

I like when the two of 'em get mad and comfort each other because of me. It actually is wonderful when two people like each other but don't know they actually like each other.

"I actually came here to talk to Chris and Jet alone so... Can you leave us alone a mo Claire?" I asked her.

"Why not?" she said as she walked away.

"But Jet isn't with us right now" said Chris.

"Jeeeeet!" I shouted and whistled after shouting.

And in a few seconds I saw a hawk descending from the air and landed in the floor turning back to Jet.

"What's up?" he said.

"Do you guys know about the Great Prophecy?" I asked to them.

"The one about seven elemental wizards who beats the hell out of evil DarknessWizards?" asked Jet.

"Precisely my dear metamorphic friend" I said like if I was Sherlock Holmes or some British guy.

"And what about the Prophecy?" asked Chris.

"I heard the hybrid saying that it might be happening soon" I said.

"Well, if the prophecy is actually going to happen then I think neither Dex nor I will come" said Jet.

"Why not?" asked Chris.

"Because I'm not an elemental wizard and Dex will probably give away his water powers to Naomie while she gives her lava powers" said Jet.

"Why she'd do that?" I asked.

"Because she discovered that her mother actually was a water creature who'd been given lava powers" said Jet.
