Keeper of the Wand

A Turn For the Worse

Hey guys! Part two here we go! anyway, here's the new chapter! :)

-Rose's POV-

"Rose! What did you do?!" Marco screamed, looking at the monster arm as it moved. I panicked and ran to the spell book, helping Star look through it, "Don't worry Marco!" I said, as Star flipped through the pages, "I can fix this!"

"Yeah!" Star said, as she kept looking, "There has to be a spell in here that can change it back!" Just then, Marco's monster arm swung out and, not only hit the book, but me as well. I slammed into the wall as the spell book flew through a hole in the wall, made by the force of the hit. I fell to the ground and moaned. Star ran over to me and helped me up.

"I'm okay," I said. I looked at Marco, "I'll fix this." All I got in response was a whimper from Marco. Later, when I brought the spell book back upstairs, I started to search for a spell. The hours went by as I looked, and before I knew it, when I looked up, the sun was rising. I moaned and dropped my head on the book. Then, I heard screaming and jumped. I fell on the floor, which got Star's attention as she came up to my part of the room.

"Were you up all night?!" She asked, helping me up. "Uh-huh," I said, grabbing my school bag and heading downstairs. We got to the kitchen, and Star sat down. "Morning Marco. Morning Monster arm," she said. I sat down and moaned, "I was up all night looking for a reversal spell, but I haven't found one yet." In response to this, the monster arm grabbed a glass of orange juice and poured it on Marco's head, and then slammed the glass against my head, breaking it. I stood up, "I'm really starting to hate that monster arm."

"Guys! we got to go!" Star said, and she dragged us out of the house and to the bus. I sat down on the bus and would've fallen asleep, but Marco's monster arm kept slapping me. "Can't you make it stop?!" I asked, getting irritated.

"I can't!" he said, holding it away from me, "it's hard to control as it is."

"Why does it hate me then?"

Marco shrugged as we pulled into the school. We went to our separate classes, and i struggled to stay awake. But every time I fell asleep, a teacher would wake me up. Soon the lunch bell rang, and I went to lunch. I walked with Marco and Star, holding my lunch tray. We were about to sit down, when we saw something going on.

It was Lars, the school bully. He wore a gray shirt, and dark shorts. He had a buzz cut, and was pretty big. He was picking on the nerdy kid again. I had him in a couple of my classes and I felt bad for the kid to be honest. "Hey, kid, I got a joke for you," Lars said, "What's the most important meal of the day?"

He then slammed the tray out of the kids hands, making it splat all over the ground. "It's breakfast!" he said, and he started laughing. I leaned towards Marco, "I don't get it..." I whispered. Marco wasn't paying attention though; he was paying more attention to his monster arm. I looked back and saw that Lars was pushing the kids face in the kid's lunch. "Alright," I said, charging my magic, "That's it."

Suddenly, Marco's monster arm lashed out and hit Lars in the face. He was shocked at first and then turned towards us, "Who did that?!" His glare landed on Marco, and he quickly pointed to his monster arm. "Uh.." was his reply.

Lars stepped forward "Nobody hits-" but the monster arm lashed out over and over. When it stopped, Lars held his cheek, and started crying. He ran out of the cafeteria, leaving everybody to stare at Marco. The monster arm picked up the kid and wiped the lunch off of him. The kid walked up to Marco and bowed, "I, sir, am in your debt," he said, but was soon pushed aside by Ferguson, who cheered, "You a hero!"

The whole cafeteria erupted in cheering. People pushed me to the out edge of the crowd. "Marco!" I yelled, trying to get his attention. But it seemed he was preoccupied by girls checking out his arm. I sighed and turned to leave. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw it was Star. She smiled, "Come on, let Marco have his bit of battle glory."
