Dragonrider (the powers of the unknown series part 1)

Chapter 6

I woke up early in the morning. I probably woke up later this time because I fell asleep later. When I woke up I was surprisingly full of energy. Normally I was still pretty tired when I woke up from this dream, but this time it felt like I suddenly had a boost of energy in me. I quickly stepped out of bed and began to make myself ready to eat some breakfast. When I was on my way to the cafeteria I noticed that I saw a small group of teachers discussing something. I saw no one around me except them and they didn't look like they would notice if I would come a little bit closer. I was always very curious, sometimes that was good, and sometimes it wasn't. They stood pretty close to a corner so I decided to walk to that corner and from there try to hear something of the discussion they had. When I walked past them they fell silent for a couple seconds until I was past them. They were to much into the discussion to think about that they could better first check if I was really gone before they continued their conversation.

I stood there for a couple minutes but I couldn't really understand what they were saying. All I heard was the way they spoke. It was like something was bothering them or like something happened. 'they use a spell so people who aren't supposed to hear it won't understand what they're saying' whispered a voice behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know of who this voice was. I looked around and saw Naloë Gargascof standing behind me. 'did you really think that they wouldn't do anything to prevent people they don't want it to know to hear what they are talking about?' 'I was indeed already kinda shocked by how carelessly they didn't even bother to check if I was really gone' I said. Naloë nodded. 'I see that this is new for you' she said. 'I didn't get much told about the magical world when I grew up. They never bothered to tell me about spells and things like that. They only told me some things of the history of certain groups, but that wasn't very often.' 'they never thought that I would have an other path then that of a human.' 'I mean there hadn't been a single person in my whole family the past hundreds of years that had any magical blood!' After I said that she looked like she was lost in her thoughts for a moment. She looked forward and didn't show any sign that showed that she was still aware of the world around her. We both stayed silent for a while. But then my curiosity got the better of me and I broke the silence. 'where are you thinking about' I asked. For a moment she looked confused like she forgot where she was but she quickly regained herself again. 'did you say anything?' 'I asked what you were thinking about' I said. 'it is not yet the right time to answer that question' she answered. 'I think you should go to the cafeteria' she said. 'that was where you were heading too, right?' I nodded and walked away. When I stay silent now and don't ask questions yet she will maybe answer more questions later I thought.

When I entered the cafeteria I realized how long I was talking with Naloë. There weren't exactly a lot of people inside. But more then could have been on the moment I would have arrived when I wouldn't have talked to Naloë. I looked around and saw that Peter and Oliver weren't yet there so I decided that I could better already claim a good spot while it wasn't that crowded yet.

I needed to wait for another fifteen minutes before Peter arrived but a couple more minutes after Peter did Oliver also arrive. 'how are you guys doing' I asked. 'I am doing fine' said Peter. Oliver just stared forward like he was lost in his thoughts. I tried to get his attention. I needed to do that for five minutes before he finally seemed to notice. 'I asked how you were doing' I repeated. 'O, sorry, I didn't hear you, I am doing okay' Oliver quickly said. 'yeah, I noticed that you didn't hear me, are you really okay, were were you thinking about' I asked. Oliver didn't have time to answer because suddenly we heard someone scream from the hallway. I immediately rushed to the place where the scream came from.

When I entered the hallway I could immediately see that something was getting out of hand there. There lay a boy unconscious on the floor while bleeding from a wound on his head and there were two girls standing next to the boy. One stood protectively between the boy and the second girl. I walked forward to the two girls and offered my help to the girl who stood protectively in front of the boy. 'what happened' I asked to her 'can I help?' The first girl was just about to say something when the second girl said: 'you can better not talk to her, didn't your parents ever teach you not to trust a dark fae?' I turned around and looked puzzled to the second girl. 'what do you mean, what is wrong with a dark fae?' She looked at me for a moment before she responded: 'I thought everyone knew that you can't trust a dark fae like her, everyone knows that a light fae is more trustable then a dark fae?' 'I know neither of you, but I still think I would trust her more then you, I don't care what she is!' The second girl looked shocked at me for a moment. 'this isn't over, I am not going to stop until that dark fae is of this school and when you keep standing in my way, I will also make sure you will be expelled!' After that she gave me an angry glare and stormed of. I turned back to the first girl. 'are you okay, what was that about?' 'yes, I am okay, and it was about that she is again one of the many people who distrusts my kind.' 'why would they' I asked. 'because of certain things that happened a long time ago, I don't even think that most of them even remember were it was about.' She suddenly looked tired. 'because I am a dark fae I officially sleep during the day and am I only active at night, I still need to get used to this new my new sleepingpatern' she said after I looked at her puzzled. 'what is your name' I asked. 'My name is Deborah Ann, but you can also just call me D.A or Dee' she answered. 'shall I help you bring him to a nurse?'  'sure' she answered.

After we brought him to a nurse we chatted for a couple minutes until Deborah Ann said that she wanted to stay a little bit longer with the boy. So I just said goodbye and left to my room. I wanted to already take a quick glance in my books because the first lessons would start in a few days. I at least wanted to try to be prepared.
