The Golden Door

Lucinda

Christian could feel his smell getting worse but his hearing better making a weird growl sound when Alienors friends made gasping sounds and a squeak come out of Max's mouth

"See I told you I wasn't lying now can we please be careful and not make Christian do this again since it hurts him and drains him of his energy"

She turned towards her friends with a look of sympathy and worry

"Fine, even though this is a bit hard to believe even with all the proof, but you can't blame us for doubting this since people say they are witches and shape shifters all the time and they end up being a stud."

Drusilla stepped away from Christian while saying her words not wanting to look at his face and feel empathy for him. Alienor nodded and looked at Christian

"Do you think you have the energy to change back"

He shook his head No not bothering to say any words. Maximus walked over to his sister and showed her the time and the students flooding out of the buildings. Cecilia walked closer to her friends a little low

"We need to leave, right now, unless you wanna be late to class"

"But what about Christian?"

"Sorry Alienor But he cant come into school so we'll have to leave him out here"

"We can't don't that! What if someone sees him? Most people kill foxes you know"

She looked over to Christian who just blinked and stared until he realised they were waiting for him to say something

"W-Well if i stay out here it could give me a chance to find magic sources that could give me back some energy and come back and say sorry for being late"

"But you don't even know your way around here, you said that yourself"

"I'm sure a teacher will take me to my lesson if not I'll ask around or tell them you're my sister or something and request for you to come and get me"

Alienor sighed and watched her friends leave, not wanting to intrude and listen to a conversation that had nothing to do with them

"Okay but please for your sake be quick."

Christian nodded and ran off turning his head around briefly to see Alienor watching him.

After a while Christian was back at the same spot him and Alienor were at earlier. The Church . He found a hole and poured some water into it and transformed back into his human self. The water slowly turned a dusty peach colour before Lucinda appeared.

"Christian Frost where have you been! Your parents are going mad! They think you're dead"

"Yeah sorry about that but I found the one who was related to Jo-Ann"

"On your own? But what if they're like her what if they turn on us like she did... everything will be worse than it is now"

"I know but we have to at least try we can't do this on our own and you know this. Anyways I have something to tell you"

"Go on."

"I can feel almost the same type of magic off of Alienor if we train her or get her even more magic she can-"

A loud thud and a bunch of screaming cut Christian off

"I have to go now I'm sorry but things are getting worse you need to get her here now or everyone and everything will be gone"

Lucinda disappeared and Christian sighed trying to get the clean bits of the water back in leaving the dirty parts and ran back to the school
