Chapter 8

Pandora's POV

I heard multiple startled yelps and I smiled under my mask. Me and Navy shared a look before turning the corner and seeing who we caught. Fintan, Ruy, Gethen, Trix, Foam, and Nova were standing at the entrance soaked to the core in Curdle root juice. Fintan, Ruy, Gethen, and Trix looked like they were going to explode as Foam and Nova laughed. I waved my hands and the Curdle root juice came out of Foam and Nova and they joined us in laughing. Fintan's fists exploded with fire and it lit up the Curdle root juice. The juice was around Ruy, Gethen, and Trix, so they had to move in weird ways to avoid the fire. I laughed even harder as Fintan, Ruy, Gethen, and Trix jumped onto each other for payback.

"Let's get out of here," Nova whispered.

"Yeah unless we want more Curdle root juice on us," Navy whispered back.

Foam and I agreed and we walked out of the arena and ran to my room. When we got there I used the water from the pool to block the door. I freezed the water to ice and I filled it with Shadowflux for reinforcement.

"Wow. I'll never get used to how you do that," Navy commented.

"I know right," Nova agreed.

"Ditto," Foam added.

Do you want to sleep here tonight?

"I totally don't want to face the boys, but you have nothing to sleep on," Nova observed.

Appearances are deceiving.

Navy, Nova, and Foam gave me a confused look. I sighed and jumped into the pool and that earned me some gasps. I slid down a bit before reaching my room. It had beech wood walls, smooth dark planks for the floor, and a ceiling that looked into the ocean. The room had a big bed with a couple of bunk beds on the side, a blue rug, a bunch of tables for experiments on the other side of the room, and bookshelves lined the sides.

"Wow this place is amazing," Foam mused.

"So that's what the 'appearances are deceiving' meant," Nova added.

I heard some excited screaming and Navy landed on the floor next to Nova and Foam. Navy got up with a smile.

"Now that's not something you experience everyday,"

"I totally agree," Foam agreed.

I let them talk as I changed into my clock for tomorrow. I hopped into bed and Foam, Nova, and Navy followed. They gossiped for a while and I listened until they fell asleep. Meditation is like sleeping, so I rarely sleep in the bed I'm in. I used the bubble elevator to get to the pool. I sat down on the rock and meditated.

"Thanks for leaving us," Nova said sarcastically.

I opened my eyes and thanked the gods that my mask was still on.

Your welcome.

I waved my hand and the ice and Shadowflux disintegrated. Nova, Navy, and Foam walked out and Navy gave me a mischievous smile. I took that as a 'we're going to prank people soon' message. I sighed and right on time Trix walked into the room.

Here to take revenge?

"Not on Gisela's orders. She wants to talk with you,"

I can't believe she's giving us this many missions.

"It's crazy," Trix agreed.

Let's go.

We walked towards the meeting room and Lady Gisela was already inside. She flashed us one of her cold smiles and I almost shuddered.
