Keeper of the Wand

The Blood Moon Ball

Hey guys! IT'S FINALLY HERE! I'm probably as excited as you guys are about this. XD So this picture is by V A N E S S A. It's such an awesome picture! and it matches Marco! Since he loves red and all. XD Anyway, here's the chapter! :D

-Rose's POV-

I got to my classroom early, and was reading a new book Marco found for me. Ever since he gave me the book on otters, I've been interested in Earth's animals. Marco happened to be out at the library and got me a book about these animals called Kiwis. They are really strange; they are flightless birds, but they have long beaks and still have tiny wings, but don't use them to fly.

As I sat at my desk reading, the classroom around me filled. My first period on Fridays was the only class where i didn't have Star or Marco. I was okay with that, but it was always nice to have a friend in the same class. I looked at the clock and noticed it was five minutes before class started. I placed my book mark in my book and placed it in my bag. As I was bent over, I noticed a pair of feet walked into the classroom. But that wasn't what made me freeze.

It was the fact that it was nice dress shoes and they were on fire with each step.

"Oh no," I mumbled, as I quickly sat up. The girl in front of me was looking at the guy in front of her. Suddenly, her desk floated up, and the person in front of her floated over in front of me, by the fire from his shoes. I looked up and swallowed. 'It can't be' I thought.

But it was.

Tom took off his sunglasses and looked at me saying, "Hey Rose," he said, "I'm here to take you-" He then extended his hand and a flame burst in his hand. It was in the shape of a red crescent moon. "To the Blood moon Ball," he said, smiling at me.

I quickly stood up and placed my hands on his shoulders, pushing him down to the ground. I grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the classroom. Why did HE have to show up?! As we walked across the school, and into the parking lot, I said, "Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. You need to leave right now."

We got to his carriage and I opened the door, saying, "Take your carriage and fire and dead horse, and go back to the underworld."

"Wait, I'm dead?" The skeleton horse asked. I was so mad now not to feel pity for it. THAT'S how mad I was. I started walking away, when I heard Tom say, "Oh come one, RoseBud!" Something hit under my feet and made me float backwards into Tom's arms. He started floating up into the air, saying, "It's the Blood Moon Ball! It only happens once every 667 years!"

He dipped me, and smirked. I scoffed, and flipped backwards out of his arms. "We are through Tom. Period," I said. I was about to walk away, but he said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait. Rose, I'm a changed man, okay? I've got a life coach, Brian."

A guy with glasses poked his head out of the carriage, wearing a blue shirt and khakis. "Hey," he said.

"He's awesome," Tom continued, "I have a happy bunny." At this, Brian gave him a tiny round, pink bunny. Tom held it and petted it. "And, and," he said, "I have been anger free for fifty three days."

He moved his jacket and there, on his vest, was a sticker that said "53 Days Anger Free."

"53?" I asked, starting to hesitate about Tom's offer.

"Don't you want to pet my bunny?" he asked, offering me to pet his bunny. The little bunny sniffled and winked at me. Okay, that was adorable. "Well," I said, trying not to squeal, "he is adorable."

"HII-YAH!" We both heard. I felt somebody grab my shoulders and pull me back, as Marco came out of no where and karate chop Tom's hand off. His hand fell to the ground and so did the bunny. The hand moves on it's own like a spider.
