Secrets Open

Chapter 12

I see Octavian smirk, "No, he's not." Him and Chip speak at the same time. As Octavian darts forward some type of mist comes off Chip and forms some creature, it's hard to describe as it's a mist, and once the creature reaches Luca before Octavian and somehow Luca freezes in place. Octavian stops in place and tilts his head, and casually and slowly approaches Luca and watches to see if he moves.

"He's not going to move anytime soon." Chip said, answering Octavian unasked question, "Is he dead?" Octavian asks more curious then concerned, "No, when I want I can release him and he goes back to what he was currently doing which was, about to scream. Cause the moment he froze was the moment he saw my creature. Hah, it's fake. Gotcha!" Chil giggles and Octavian sighed, getting a little bored. Chip waves his hand and Luca shrinks and goes into a small shiny box in Chips hand.

Chip tosses it into the air once before he hands it to Octavian, "It seems you were looking for him so now he's your responsibility. Just crush the box and he'll pop out back to normal. He also can't hear you like this." Chip winks towards me, "As a bonus." I look down and blush.

Macona sighs and I look up to see her stretch her arms above her head. She turns to Octavian and I spot two cuts on her back. Going from her shoulders down but they're stitched up. Quite well I might add.

"Now since that's all done." Macona turns serious as she looks at Octavian, "Let's have that conv-" She's cut off when suddenly a guy pops up out of nowhere, clasping her shoulder, "Macona, don't strain yourself, come back to the cabin." She sighs, "Fine, Octavian, Becca, do you guys mind if you come back with us?" Octavian nods and follows after her and the others. Cynthia still has a hold of my hand and pulls me along as we follow after them. I wonder what Macona wants to talk about. It seemed that it might be serious.

We're all silent as we come up to some cabins in the woods and Macona heads into the largest one with the stranger. When I enter the room is dead silent. Confused I look around to see what's wrong and notice two new people with red eyes staring at Octavian. Octavian stares back, his guard up and tense. One of the red eyes strangers speak, "Shadow Assassin.... Why are you here?" Octavian tilts his head, "You know of me. How?" The stranger that spoke chuckles, "You have killed many, some even of our kind." Octavian bows his head towards him slightly, "I apologize for any inconvenience. I was just following orders."

The other guy smiles, "We know. We also know that they are corrupted and using you. In time he will find you and show you the truth." Macona silently, not caring much about the current conversation, sits on a table near that one guy that popped up out of nowhere; while the rest of us stand at the entrance awkwardly, "What do you mean?" Octavian asks slowly.

The mans smile widens slightly, "You will know in time, young one. Be patient." Octavian sighs with a nod. Macona clears her throat, "Now let's speak Octavian. As Lynda said earlier, I'm a Queen. I have to unite all the supernaturals in a war against the Doomins, who are trying to make a weapon using supernatural DNA. At least from what I've gathered. But I ask this of you; when I call will you fight beside me in battle?"

Wait... Supernaturals? Do they mean werewolves and stuff? Maybe I'll ask Octavian about that later. He's silent as he stares at Macona.
Than he smirks and walks up to her, "I'd love to old friend." He offers his arm up and they clasp each other's forearms, "Welcome to the team Octav." I smile at Octavian and his friend as they smirk at each other.

Octavian steps away, "We have to get back. I'll see you around. Oh also, give me your arm Macona." She does hesitantly, like she doesn't know what's going to happen. Well duh, but still. I'm trying to explain.

He takes her arm and writes his number on her palm, "Call me if you need me." Okay why did he randomly have a pen on him? I shake my head and see Macona nod. Octavian turns to me, "Let's head back now. And you need to go back to class you stalker." I huff at Octavian's insult and smile down at Cynthia as she squeezes my hand. She let's go and hugs me.

As I turn to leave I see Macona point at Octavian and wink at me. Oh. Guess she might know somethings going on. Or well sorta? I'm not sure what's going on myself.
When I look over I notice Octavian on the phone as we start walking back.

He turns to me, "Single or bunk?" I look at him confused. What is he talking about?, "Single or bunk?" I stay silent for a few seconds as we walk and just shrug, pretending to know what he's talking about, "Bunk, I guess." Octavian smirks and nods, "Very well." I open my mouth to speak but Octavian covers my mouth, "You'll see. Right now let's get you back to class. If you don't the headmistress will assume again and chew me out."
