Awakened

Chapter 7

"Wake up." Victoria kicked Rebecca in order to get her up the fastest way possible.

"Why should I listen to you, I have powers you know." Rebecca continued to lay down, which only made Victoria aggravated. She transformed into her gryphon aura and grabbed Rebecca by her shoulders and carried her outside. Victoria screeched calling out for her friends. They came in all different types of auras somewhere wolves and some were owls.

Victoria dropped Rebecca off of the mountain to be caught by two owls. They juggled her between their claws. Showing Rebecca that had better be careful with her choice of words. She screamed out for help hoping that someone would hear her. The two owls dropped Rebecca again this time to fall on top of Victoria. Leo went outside to see what all the ruckus was about. Noticing what was going on he chuckled a little. He transformed into his aura, but it wasn't a dragon this time he was now a gryphon. He flew until he was above Victoria and Rebecca. He transformed midair landing behind Rebecca.

"Screaming won't help you once an aura of a Leon is summoned a force field is summoned that surrounds us making us invisible to any humans. I thought you would know that after our last duel, although I would hardly call it a duel you didn't last very long." Rebecca scoffed in response.

"H-how did you use a different aura that's impossible?" Rebecca was visibly shaking scared at the fact of how strong Leo was becoming.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." He was beginning to care about Rebecca even though he never showed it. Leo knew that he couldn't from any sentimentality towards her or it would be the downfall of him.

"Hey, Rebecca?"

"What?!"

The words came out of Leo's mouth faster than he could process what he was saying.

"I never wanted to turn you it was the only thing that I could do to save you after our dad attacked you leaving you close to death. If I hadn't done what I did I would never be able to forgive myself after all you are my favorite sister." After realizing what he had just said he quickly shut his mouth and began to name things about the sky and random facts.

"What did you just say?" Rebecca was now facing him. He couldn't bear to look her in the eyes. Leo quickly fixed his composure and was back to being the cold person he normally was. He used a spell that wiped Rebecca's memory of the last 10 minutes as well as putting her to sleep. Victoria headed towards another base this one was quite far from where they originally were.

Once they got to the base Victoria changed back into her human form. She quickly headed inside and unpacked everything that was in the boxes. These boxes were full of magical assortments; vials full of fairy tears, a box full of Phoenix hair, and many other things.

Victoria's job was to make potions that would help in case of any medical emergencies. The rest of the Leon had jobs in cooking, medicine, guards, and engineering. The guards were only chosen by whether or not they were strong, smart, and brave. Everybody was one big family they looked out for each other. There was never an unfamiliar face in a crowd.

The canteen was full of laughter and conversations. When both Leo and Victoria entered the room everybody went silent.

Leo spoke up in a very commanding voice.

"Everybody I would like you to meet my sister Rebecca." He moved to the side of the room so everyone could see Rebecca. She waved awkwardly not knowing what to say she clammed up.

"I thought you said she was a big mouth doesn't seem so to me." The room broke out into laughter. Leo and Victoria had to hold in their laughter in order to be professional, although they didn't succeed very much. They too broke out into laughter leaving Rebecca in tears hearing how these people were laughing at her. She stormed out room, but not before kicking Leo in the shin. It didn't hurt very much, but she had to make a point.

Leo ran after her grabbing her by the arm. He stared directly into her eyes and then spoke. "I would suggest you don't do that again."

"Let me guess you're going to put me in a dungeon for 40 years till I learn my lesson."

"If you don't comply I will make your life a living hell. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!" Leo's voice came out louder than anticipated, but it did do the job. Rebecca gave a quick nod and quickly apologized not wanting to make things worse than they already were.
