A Dangerous Secret Revealed

Chapter 17

As the days passed, the training seemed much easier to all of us. In about five days, we were all done with Superhero, the first stage of training. We were also done with all of the grade four's lessons. Today is the first day of the second stage.
This morning, when we came to breakfast, Amira wasn't there. Instead, Matilda replaced her at the table.
"Good morning. The second stage of training, I will be your teacher, since I am Takinyo," Matilda said," Amira didn't get to inform you because we were in a hurry. Amira will take my place as president in the school for now."
"Oh, okay..."
****************

"Here we are, the Takinyo training room. It's smaller compared to the other one, I know. But you won't need much space anyway," Matilda showed us. The room was small, but still bigger than my house.
"I just want to inform you, there will be no rule books for spells like the fairies you read in fairytales. In fact, there will be no spells at all.
Instead, there are only three simple rules:
Number 1. Get your wand.
Number 2. Get used to your wand.
Number 3. Use your brain.
Now...see these broken mugs on the floor? Your first goal is to repair them with your wands. Just use your brain to command. Try it. And concentrate."

This should be easy. For me, since I've seen Mom do this anyway.
"Hello, wand. Can you repair the mug?"
I don't know why I thought of that. But it didn't work, that's for sure. Lois and Steffi weren't doing any progress also.
"It takes time to get used to the wand. Just concentrate," Matilda said.

And that's what we did for hours until we got the hang of it.

Joan's P.O.V.
What's wrong with me?? I feel so sleepy and...I don't know. Something doesn't feel right. Nothing feels right. Everything is wrong. Maybe Lois was right. I should have told Amira in the first place. Maybe she could help.
I lie on the bed. I'm sleepy, but I can't sleep..
From the first day of training, I never went to see Cath and the others train. They understand, anyway.
That's it. I will tell Matilda about it when thier training is over. I'll ask the others to come with me. I have a theory about the visions, though. I think that Grazilda is causing them.
I wonder where Grazilda lives.
Did they ever talk to each other since the incident?
How can Matilda help if they haven't talked to each other for years?
For now....I'll just...try to sleep. I closed my eyes, but all I could see is Grazilda. It's another vision. It was Grazilda killing
me. And Cath. And the others.
Then I suddenly had a something to worry about: what if these visions were the future? What if they would really happen? Will we really end up dead?
Questions kept popping up in my mind until I had finally gotten to sleep...

Cath's P.O.V.
"Joan, hey. Wake up," I said after training was done.
"What...? Why...did you wake me up..?"
"It's lunch already."
"Not hungry. I don't care. I'm skipping lunch. Leave me alone. I'm sleepy..."
"Are you sure? I mean...dinner won't be until 6 something. Won't you get hungry?"
"Sleep. I will sleep."
"What about our classes?"
"Tell them I'm not well."
"Are you sure??"
"Yesss....now go."
"Okay..."
As I was about to walk out, Joan suddenly yelled,"No,wait!" I turned back to look and I saw that she was now energetic and livley. Weird.
"What? You're coming?"
"Yes. I change my mind. I'll go."
"But I thought..."
"Ill explain it on the way."
"Tell me now."
"Okay...It's...I'm telling Matilda about the visions. They're out of control already! They show up about more than 15 times in a day! And they're weird and creepy,"
"Ohhh....When will you tell her?"
"Like now. Lunch time."
"Are you sure?"
"Maybe."
*********
"What? What kind of visions?" Matilda asked curiously.
"Uhm...actually, there's a lot. But I can name one," Joan hesitated.
"What is it??"
"Grazilda...she...killed us! I'm so worried, maybe these visions are the future!"
Matilda's face became even more serious.
"But I have a theory about this. I'm guessing that Grazilda...she caused them."
"Joan, listen. This is very serious. I'll discuss this with Amira and we'll decide what to do. For now-
"I'm having them too!" Steffi blurted out.
"What? Having what?"
"The visions! Exactly the same! Except that mine has been happening since I was young."
"Why didn't you tell us earlier??"
"I thought...that you would think I'm crazy," Steffi explained quietly.
"You're not. And this situation is really dangerous. I'll try contacting Grazilda, but We haven't talked for years, though. Don't worry. We'll take care of this.
For now, go back to your room and rest. Training will be cancelled and postponed until we have figured this out."

We left the dining table and walked to our rooms.
"Cath! Joan! I have to tell you something important. Come to out bedroom and I'll tell you," Lois half-whispered to us.
