"Finally you guys are here!" Luxx said happily. I quickly ran over to hug him tightly. He seemed so happy to see me as its been a while.
We all began walking around "Luxx! How are you my friend?" I asked
"Im good, just been helping these kids as usual" He replied
Suddenly I felt this feeling of sadness, I started thinking about the fact that after we spent so long apart, right after I was exiled from the academy and unable to return, I had barely spent time with him now that I had the luxury to. Not purposely, but I realized how hectic things had been and how its caused us to communicate.
"Well listen, because I don't know how today is gonna go, it wouldn't feel right if I didn't say this" I came to a stop and stared at him intensely, with a hint of regret in my eyes "Im so sorry". He looked at me in confusion as if I said something wrong.
"For what Alt?" He asked curiously
"For being so busy and caught up in my own life to even come see you. I mean you taught me everything I knew before I left this place, and when my parents died you were the one taking care of me like I was your own" I explained "All this Malik stuff has had me running around everywhere so I barely get to see you! That'll change after today though" I wasn't only promising him that, but I was also promising myself.
"Its okay...sometimes things happen and we can't control it. You text me sometimes, even with everything going on. So don't get caught up in that, you've been fighting for your life this past year, and I've been here protecting this academy, we all have our duties but when thats all said and done we're still family" He said comforting me "Plus you got a family of your own to protect, one that you chose. So today, you end this son of a bitch for them and we can worry about seeing each other more after"
He was right, this past year has been unlike any other. I fought with Ezekiel, killed the nuisance that is Kane, had to go into a coma, woke up, fought Malik, became a vampire because of it, and im still not done because I have one last fight ahead of me. Most people wouldn't be able to handle that, I mean I barely am.
"Thank you Luxx, you always tell me what I need to hear" I admitted "Now take all the kids inside of a room and do a barrier spell so nobody can get in"
"I will, I wish I could go and fight with you but you have the young adults of the academy and your family, so ill protect the younger kids with my life and you go finish this!" He immediately left to go get the younger kids
After he left I walked into Jades room to talk to her, Raven, Finn, and Jeremiah were already in there.
"Hey guys" I said happily "Is everybody outside already?"
"Yes, the vampires, witches, and wolves are all outside waiting for you" Finn replied
"You guys ready?"
"As ready as ill ever be" Jeremiah admitted
Raven walked up to me and hugged me "Just in case" she began walking outside and I followed.
Once we got outside, I saw a large group of vampires, witches, and werewolves. Zane was even in the crowd.
"I suspect he'll be here any minute, I can feel it" One of the students from the academy said intensely. They had the power of foresight.
"Okay Rauz, you hold that force field up until the time is right, I don't care if im dying don't put it down" I demanded and he nodded in agreement
"Alt, be careful!" Calluna said somberly "We cannot lose you again"
I smiled "nothing about this is careful, but im gonna give it everything I've got" she smiled back before stepping behind Rauz who put his force field up.
