Chapter 19.

Eileen – Why are they here?

When the next day rolled around, the harsh wind of last night died down, and the snowflakes were softly falling from the open sunlit sky. Not too bright that I could make out where the sun was, but bright enough that the snow looked as if it was shining its sickly glistened light.

I yawned, rubbed my eyes and turned away from the window to see Lawliet who was evidently sprawled across his bed, arm over the edge and was diagonally sleeping comfortably.

He woke when I got out of the shower. Rubbing towel through wet hair, I looked up to Lawliet buttoning his jacket up, the hood frilly and fluffy while the rest was smooth white leather. Walking out together, dabbling into a new profound friendship, we walked along the roads that are not used by cars. Mages don’t necessarily need them. The roads are more like walkways to us. Except at the end of the roadway, we shouldn’t see a bunch of teenage mages clustered together with no sense of knowing what is going on. They looked around curiously, and we stood far at the back and wondered why our whole school excursion was forming together into a great big ball. Lawliet stepped forward as I reached upon instinct, a thing I used to do with my brothers and even Hopper when they walked too fast. Cling to their sleeve. He didn’t seem bothered as we weaved through groups. Some, however, did give us death stares while others shuffled with fright out of our way. At the front, as the teenagers parted ways was the train. It wasn’t here early because this is our last day and we leave tomorrow. It was here because they’re cutting our excursion short.

I don’t know why, but as the Head Mage swept his eyes around, he stalled on me for a second and a cold chill ran up my spine as he kept looking around. His voice was soft, reassuring that there wasn’t a particular reason that we were leaving. He didn’t say anything at all that should worry us. The school kids whined, complained as per usual. They reminded me of children who weren’t allowed a piece of candy after dinner. They mopped but obliged quickly enough as they settled into the train. Their bags floated in, packed and right behind them.

Glancing at Lawliet, he did the same, and we walked until I was yanked back by Donte and Nixon. Lawliet walked forward and pretended that it was normal for my brothers to kidnap me and drag me to the back of the line, behind one of the shop walls. The bricks weren’t even so when they pinned me to it; my back went all lumpy with the uncomfortable rough texture of the grooved brick.

“Where were you yesterday?” Donte demanded while he looked at his chipped fingernail.

“With Spenc,” I answered truthfully.

“You were never alone or where people couldn’t see you at all yesterday afternoon?” I shook my head, and Nixon relaxed his shoulders.
