Fires Collided

⁴

Me and Silver were out on the garden.She was done showing me around so we thought we would talk."I don't know I think I'll like it here eventually."She chuckled."Though I have detention."She laughed.She didn't believe me."I do!"I playfully hit her shoulder."Proffesor Dresden gave me detention with him tonight because I was late and didn't had my uniform on."She stopped laughing."That man scares me.He really does.Years of emotion control and now no one knows what he's feeling."I chuckled."Not unless someone pissed in his cereal.Then it's obvious he's mad."She and I were chuckling when we heard a groaning voice.A very loud one.

"What the hell Ralph?!He's a first year!"Silver threw the boy to my side."Are you alright?"He nodded."What happened?""He just came at me out of nowhere and punched me.He told me I was coming from a dirtline."Silver was still yelling at Ralph."Go and find someone from your club,Dolphtail.Alright?"He sighed."You're not as bad as the others."Then he ran away.I stood beside Silver."Ralph headmaster will be hearing about this.Know that?"He rolled his eyes before his eyes found me."Brave stunt you pulled this morning sweetheart."I played the fool."What stunt?"He knew exactly what I was doing.

"Have it your way.But I'll find a way."I chuckled."You really enjoy making people feel miserable don't you?Psychological study shows that most of the bullies are bully people that are lower than them because they feel miserable themselves but are too proud and snobby to admit it.Just get help.We'll understand.Maybe get a therapist.Mundane.Elemental.Your choice."

His friend pushed Silver away and Ralph got to me."Hiding behind Sliver made your jaw drop."I laughed as his grip got tighter."Who says I was hiding?Ralph you are the one who's hiding.Figure out from who."Then Dexter showed up and threw one of those fireballs he couldn't control yet."You already got yourself a boyfriend sweetheart?"I rolled my eyes as I coughed a little."Not that I have to tell you anything but no."I looked at Dexter."He's my best friend."He rolled his eyes and they walked away."You good Rose?"I nodded."I'll see you before last period then."I nodded again and he left."You set him and Crooks on fire?"I chuckled."What can I say?They piss me off."

Before the last class I met Dexter at the tower."Hey."He was already there."Hi Dex."I sat next to him."I'm sorry I judged you so quickly.But it scared me that I have spent my entire life with a Dragondeth and didn't know about it.Not even a clue."I sighed."I come from a bloodline who's been Dragondeths since 1684.I learned that yesterday morning before I came here."His eyes widened."That's almost four centuries."I nodded."I know.And believe me so far...no one in the club house pissed me off.Oh...except Fern and Crooks.Those two pissed me off a lot."

"Fern?"His voice shaked as he said Ralph's family name."Yeah?Why?"He stood up."You don't understand do you?His bloodline is as long as yours.And his father is also Dragondeth unlike you."I was utterly confused."What am I supposed to do with this information?"He rolled his eyes as he sat back down."He's as dangerous as you are.""Dangerous?"He sighed."I didn't mean it like that."I stood up."No I think you meant it exactly like that."I grabbed my books and went to the dormitory.I changed in my nightwear and I thought about distracting myself with something.Anything.Then I remembered my father's letter.I went back to our club room and cut the stamp with one of the knives on the desk.

I was just about to read the letter when a boy jumped over the couch and sat next to me."Uh...ok."I turned back tot he letter."I'm Kendrick.""Oh we're interducing each other.Ok."I closed the letter and placed it back in the envelope."Rosalind.But call me Rose.Rosalind sounds old."He smiled.He had a nice smile."Call me Ken then.First year?Missing your parents already?"I chuckled."First year but no.I sent a fire message to my father today and I haven't read his reply yet."I raised the letter in my hand then dropped it back."So yeah.I'm not sure he's going to like it though."Kendrick stood up.He pressed play on the gramophone."Dance with me?"I stood up.And he took me by hand."Oh we're really doing this?"He nodded then he and I started to dance.

"Why wouldn't your father like that you got in here?"I rolled my eyes."He's my father.It's that simple.If you knew him you would understand.You really would."He spun me around."Tell me about him."I chuckled."Yeah that's not happening."He spun me one more time."You sure?"He winked at me."I'm pretty sure Kendrick."He sighed."Fine.Let's just dance then."And we did."This is nice.I like this."He spun me around three times I think."Really?"I nodded.While we were dancing Fern and Crooks came in."Ouu...Qurtale is already making his move on the newbie Crooks."I rolled my eyes."Please tell me it's not him.It's not Ralph."He sighed."In that case...it's him."I rested my forehead on his chest before I let go of him and turn around.I wanted to say something but I was tired.

"You know what Fern?I'm not even going to try."I reached to grab my letter but he snatched it.And he started reading it."Daughter.I just got to read your fire message.I told you not to send me a fire message unless it's before you go to bed.I will not tolarate this behavior.Also your mother and I are so dis-"Then he stopped."I don't want your pity.Read it."I sighed.But he didn't read it.He burned it and walked past me and got inside his side of the dormitory."I should've seen that coming."Then I got a book from my nightstand and got back to the letter's ashes.

I started chanting the spell I found about taking the fire back from the objet it burned.It was a hard one."That's fifth year spell.You can't do it on your own.I can help."I threw a fireball and threw him to the wall behind him and gave my full focus to the letter on the floor.And it worked.I got up."Even if I needed help I wouldn't ask for it."I went up to my bed and read the rest of it.

"Your mother and I are so disappointed in you.We both deserved better than a monster like you.Dragondeth is the worst thing you could've done to us.You don't have to come back for Chrismas.We won't be waiting."

On second though I shouldn't have done it.I should've just left on the ground.
