Uma

I didn't know what I was going to do, Gil didn't deserve this but Lei was a whole other story entirely.

"Love, you're getting worked up." I felt Harry's hand rubbing the small of my back, I huffed.

"I'm fine, but Gil isn't. Just wait until I find Lei." I hugged Gil and stormed off, Harry was in tow.

"Let's be rational about this."

"No, I'm putting an end to this." I argued as I stormed through the lunchroom doors, I walked threateningly towards Lei's table.

Everyone in the cafeteria fell silent, even Mal.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Hey, I'm Lei, daughter of Pocahontas." she smiled at me as her friends giggled.

I slammed my hands on their table causing silence,

"Stop being funny, I'm not one for games."

"I'm flattered you think I'm funny." she smirked back, I stared at her eyes. A mysterious green swirl appeared in them but vanished as soon as it came.

Interesting,

"I'm giving you a chance here, I rather not best your ass today."

"You can't hurt me, Uma."

"If it's for Gil, I'll do whatever's necessary." She stood up clearly taller than me but I held my ground.

I turned to see that Harry was being restrained by Jay, Ben and Carlos, I turned to see Mal and Evie along with the rest of the cafeteria watching on.

"You don't scare me."

"Matter of fact, I'm your worst nightmare." she shoved me down but I quickly caught myself, she ran at me and kicked me into some tables, I flopped down.

I could feel my magic sparking and my anger rising, I blinked back trying to restrain this foreign power that threatened to enact revenge on this foolish girl, but I ultimately lost that battle.

"You're gonna wish you never did that." I barked out as my eyes switched colors and my magic exploded out,

A wave of energy sent Lei into the opposite wall and she fell slumping forward, I stormed out trying to calm myself down.

I heard footsteps follow me as I panicked, my magic started to short circuit the lights in the hallway as I scrambled.

"Love! Calm down!" I heard Harry's voice and chose to tune it out, I couldn't concentrate on anything but the ferocious power coursing through my veins.

"Uma, please calm down!" I turned to see Mal and Evie and immediately my anger returned and a wave of energy knocked Evie and Mal backwards.

Harry stood strong and attempted to force himself through my defenses, my magic was protecting me from him on purpose.

"Uma!" I teared up as my magic struck me down, I fell heavily as electricity surrounded me and started shocking me.

I started to scream in pain as Mal and Evie attempted to get closer as well, Harry somehow got to me and sat down beside me and rubbed my hair soothingly.

Despite the shocks flowing through him, he held onto me and whispered sweet nothings in my ear.

I started to calm down and let him pick me up,

He turned towards the others,

"We'll be taking our leave now, thanks for trying to help." He stated as his sad eyes found mine, he smiled softly and started to walk in the opposite direction not letting his grip falter in the slightest.

I looked at the time and noticed that it was currently 8:00 p.m, that's means Harry and I had been asleep for 4 hours and we had no plans of moving anytime soon.

I stared at my hands as little magic sparks danced around my palms, I clenched them choosing to Will this magic away for the time being.

"You shouldn't worry your self." I turned around to see that Harry was staring straight at me with those ocean eyes of his, I couldn't help but give him a small smile in return.

"Easy for you to say, you aren't the health hazard now are you?"

"No, but there is nothing hazardous about you.. well your attitude." I giggled as Harry pulled me close to his body.

I could feel the heat that his body emitted, I snuggled closer towards him.

"I'm trying Harry, I didn't mean to hurt Lei that bad. I just don't like people thinking their superior to me."

"I know. You have what's it called, oh yes, a superiority complex." I rolled my eyes,

"Anyway, we need to check on Gil later. I hope he's still doing okay." I whispered as Harry rubbed my back.

"He's fine, it's Gil we're talking about here."

"True, but something he said threw me off." I stated as Harry stared at me as if urging me to continue my train of thought.

"He said Lei wasn't Lei, in fact she was like a stranger to him."

"What do you mean?"

"She wasn't herself?"

"What do you think happened, Uma?"

"It has to be magic, who's magic? I don't know."

"We can figure it out later, let's sleep some more."

"Sounds like a plan." My head found it's way to his chest and he held me and refused to let go.

I smiled to myself and cuddled into him even closer.

**

Stupid kids, they really don't know who they're messing with. Oh well, that's expected from island trash.

"Are your plans almost ready?"

Not quite, in fact, they have just begun.

They thought that was bad, imagine your friends becoming your sworn enemies again.

Or even worse, an unknown factor.
