CHAPTER THREE

[ MEETING JAX NOVOA ]

      EMBER CLIMBS UP to her feet and brushes herself off, the guys brown eyes never removed themselves off of Ember and watched her every move. She swings her eyes up and the two locked eyes. Ember withdraws her eye contact and looks down only to realize that she was now wearing a blank tank top with some black jeans.

''Excuse me,'' the guy coughed. ''do you need me to repeat my question?''

''Look, bub,'' ember responds bitterly, shooting a nasty scowl at him. ''I'm here to learn how to use my powers.''

''Use your powers?'' he gaped. ''What are you talking about? People are usually sent because of rebelling against the Realm. That's why it's called Rebel Boot Camp,'' he emphasized with his fingers. ''I don't get why a beginner got sent here.''

A cloud of gas suddenly appeared in between the two. Ember coughs and fans away the gas. When she got full vision, she saw an odd man with crazy hair and purple goggles placed upon his forehead. He was staring at Ember with broad eyes.

''You must be Ember!'' he exclaimed, clapping his hands together joyfully. Ember slowly nods her head, beginning to feel uneasy. ''Yes yes, Desdemona sent you here, right?''

''Okay, Agamemnon, what is going on?'' the guy asked in confusion. ''She said that she was sent here to learn how to use her powers.''

Agamemnon turned and faced the guy with his hands still clasped together. ''Yes, yes, that is correct,'' he nodded in confirmation. ''and guess who's going to be her teacher!''

Ember gasped. ''Purple goggles please don't say that it's-''

''Ding ding ding!'' he cheered, tapping his nose three times with his finger. He turned back around and faced Ember. ''Ember, meet Mr. Novoa,'' he introduced, pointing at him. ''Jax Novoa may I say.''

''You've got to be kidding me,'' jax complained, throwing his hands over his face. ''why her?''

''You do want your powers back, don't you Mr. Novoa?''

Agamemnon snapped his fingers and appeared in his hand was a small bottle filled with white powder. Ember quirked an eyebrow and examined Jax's face, it somehow turned into a desperate looking expression. Jax nodded sternly.

''Yes, I do sir.''

''Good,'' he snapped his finger and the small bottle disappeared. ''now, since you are now going to be Ember's new teacher that means that you will be sharing a room together, don't worry there is a bunk bed.''
