Jamaa Academy: The Return (Book Two)

Chapter 7

Kingdom Anaria (Part 1)

Everyone went to sleep, the Magic Alphas in a single room, the girls taking one side and the boys with another, Sean and Silver slept in their own rooms while Feather wanted to stay with her new idols. The moon was bright outside and stars decorated the night sky, a tall window was beside the boys' bed, Hunter's body faced it and he looked out at the sky. He couldn't sleep, the voice still haunting his mind and keeping him awake, his back was turned to everyone else. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, trying to sleep again.

...

"Hehehehe..."

Hunter's eye shot open, he looked around at the blank room he was in, he was in his mind again. His heart picked up as he heard the voice again, he shook his head and then growled. His torn cape suddenly appeared as dark gray smoke started to fly from the ground and into the air, Hunter stared up at it as it grew, a pair of red eyes appeared, two ears formed on the head, then a curved mouth of sharp teeth. Loud erupting laughter came out from the being's mouth, Hunter's eyes narrowed and his teeth were bared. The shadow of a being looked down mockingly at him.

"Well, well, well!" He echoed, raising an invisible eyebrow at Hunter, "We haven't spoken for weeks!"

"And I was glad for that No-Death-Holiday." Hunter growled, Death laughed again, throwing his head back and then stared at him again. "Where were you anyway?"

"Aw, he does have a soft heart." Death cooed mockingly, Hunter growled again, his left eye glowing dark gray as it did before when they spoke. Death reared back a little, as if sitting down on an imaginary chair, "Well.. I was pushed back in the deeper parts of your mind.. it seems a lot of things kept me away from haunting you."

Hunter's nose twitched a little, "Were you busy finally tormenting other's minds those times?"Hunter asked, unamused. Death's eyes showed no amusement too, as his eyes flattened to rectangles, Hunter scoffed a little.

"Well.. I tried to." Death answered still, he started flying around Hunter as he spoke, "But we were too attached and I couldn't get out of your mind.." He said in a pretend sad tone, Death started floating with his back turned to the ground as he stared up at the blank ceiling. His eyes narrowed, "I guess you could say I'm attached to your mind only." He shrugged a little. Death's eyes suddenly faded to pure white as he smiled amusedly.

Hunter wasn't used to Death not haunting him about his past that made him appear in the first place, but for some reason it was better. His ears raised a little, he stared at the shadow, "Too attached I must say." Death stopped flying around him, and stopped, he flipped downside up and stared at Hunter in the face. Hunter wasn't too fazed, and just stared back at Death's blank white pupils. Death flew back a little.

"You're probably wondering why I'm not reminding you of your past." Death said, raising another imaginary eyebrow, Hunter blinked, Death rolled his head like he was rolling his eyes, "I'm attached to your mind so I know what you're thinking about." He sighed.

"That makes more sense." Hunter replied, shrugging.

"Sometimes I just get tired of reminding you so much about it, I think 'eh, he already knows about all this stuff', and here we are, just having a conversation." Death said, suddenly four limbs appeared from the sides of his body, and then a big bushy black tail from behind. Death was a full fox now, he sat down and looked at Hunter, he was still huge compared to him. "But that doesn't mean I'll stop."

"I figured that ages ago." Hunter said. His tail flicked to the side, "Us having a normal conversation looks almost.." Hunter trailed, his paw on his chin in thought, Death tilted his head a little, "..Strange." He finished, Death laughed again, it echoed in the endless stretches of his mind.
