Burkins Academy

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at Amma, "How does it work? And which good friend?" She says, she had faith in Fenton to return and if he did not, she still wanted him back. She sighs lightly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I don't-" she was cut off by the sound of howling coming from the outskirts of the graveyard. She picked up her crossbow, and narrowed her eyes. "Stay with him, there's another crossbow in the box if you need it." And so she began to wall off, crossbow raised.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice gulps slightly before nodding, "Okay." She says lightly, she stays quiet and looks down at Fenton. She sighs and looks away slightly. She rubs her face, she looks at the box, hoping that she wouldn't need to use the crossbow.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

When Amma was gone, all was quiet around the grave, the sound of owls could be heard. But then, all of a sudden, Fenton gasped for breath, groaning and pushing himself up with his arms. He fell back onto his stomach again, coughing and spluttering yet again.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at him, jumping down into the grave, "Fenton!? Are you okay?" She asks lightly, trying to be quiet. She looks down at him in shock, "that was quick." She mutters.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton takes a few deep breaths and moves so that he was sat on the coffin lid next to the bowl, his head in his hands. "For you maybe, but to me it feels like weeks... I'm fine, though, or I will be soon..."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at him, "so the bond is complete?" She asks lightly before standing, "Amma went to guard the graveyard. There was really close howling." She comments before looking around.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Yeah, it should be, but I reckon it will take a while before it really shows." He says slowly, and then he nods at what she says about Amma. "Alright then, we should wait for her to come back, so that she doesn't think that something happened to us..."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods and sits beside him, "Alright. Well I'm glad you are okay, I was so worried." She murmurs lowly. She looks around, "I'm sorry for putting you through all this, it's my fault." She comments lowly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"It's not your fault!" Fenton insists, "seriously I swear to god if you say it's your fault one more time I'll learn how to possess bodies and you'll walk to school in your underwear, and do the Macarena in the cafeteria." He says it completely seriously.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice stares at him, "do you know how creepy that sounds?" She says with a laugh. She brings a hand through her hair and looks at him, "But it was my fault, so go ahead, I wouldn't bother me in the slightest, there'd be more people staring at my body than at me doing the Macarena." She smirks confidently.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Oh is that so?" Fenton laughs a little and turns and looks at her, "Well I suppose that, in which case, I'll have to put you in a hot dog costume or something. So they think you're weird..." He laughs a little bit.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice laughs, "That'd make me so edible." She says amusedly, "No, I'm good. Let's not do any possessing, you sound like the devil." She says slowly, laughing still.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton narrows his eyes and bares his teeth, "maybe I am the devil," he says, in a put on deep voice. Then he coughs, and a grin breaks out onto his face and he laughs. "No, I'm not quite the devil."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice laughs, "Nice try though." She says amusedly, "Where's Amma?" She asks lightly, it had been a while since she'd gone now, and Alice had began to worry.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Probably still scouting the area for wolves. She'll be back soon I expect..." He smiles at her, and true enough, soon after he had said it, Amma walked back with her crossbow lowered. She looked down in the hole. "Nice to see you awake, Fen." She smiles and then looks at Alice, "It was a false alarm. It was just a normal wolf." She shrugs her shoulders and then offers her hand out. Fenton takes it and she pulls him out of the hole, he was looking stronger already. Amma begins to gather up the box of ingredients, and Fenton offers his hand out for Alice to take, so he can pull her out.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at his hand and smiles. She jumps, landing beside him, "Can't be wearing you out straight away now." She says with a grin. She nods at Amma, "I'm glad," she says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Hey, I feel like a new man. I could take anything on right now!" He jokes, laughing. Amma nods her head slowly and then chucks him a shovel, "Then fill in the hole." She instructs, and Fenton groans, reluctantly walking over to the pile of mud that Alice had made when getting to the coffin. He slowly begins to shovel it back in place.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice laughs, "I'd help but there's only one shovel." She says with a grin. She looks at Amma, "Is that it, all we had to do?" She asks lightly. She brings a hand through her hair, glancing at Fenton. Her throat was starting to ache but she doesn't say anything. Being around Amma, the smell of human blood was starting to get easier to handle but she felt like she could lose control. She clenches her jaw and looks around slowly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma nods her head. "Yeah. For us, at least." She smiles and then leans down to carry on with the box, but whispers ever so slightly, so that only Alice could hear her, "It's going to be much worse for Fenton. He was in Hell. Coming back from that will leave a bad stain on his soul, and he might not be tiptop shape for a few weeks. But the power will be worth it." She finishes with the box and smiles, "I'll take this back to the car, when you've finished, Fenton, you should make sure that there's grass on top, so it doesn't look too obvious." She then walked off.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods slowly, "Yeah, I'll warn off Alex tomorrow at school. Will Fenton be able to come with me to school?" She asks lightly before Amma walks off. When she does she waits with Fenton.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton looks at her, "She does that sometimes. Walks off and doesn't answer you. It gets real annoying, real fast." He carries on shovelling, almost out of breath. He stops for a moment and wipes sweat off his forehead. "But to answer your question, yes, yes I'll be coming to school with you. Why do you need to warn Alex off?" He hadn't heard that part of their conversation.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at him, "Because I don't want to get in the middle of a witch fight and I think he knew this would happen." She answers simply, taking the shovel from him. She finishes filling the hole and grins slightly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Well, I bet he didn't think that we would actually be able to do the ritual, because look at me now. A good nights sleep and I'll be ready to kill whoever I want, with enough power to slaughter extra." He grumbles, then smiles when she finishes the hole. Because Amma wanted grass to grow, Fenton bites his lip and kneels down on the fresh mud, and puts his palm down on it. After a moment, he stands up, and sees that grass had grown all over it.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods, "As bad as what he has done. He doesn't deserve to die," she admits slowly, smiling as she watches him make the grass grow. She brings a hand through her hair, dusting her hands on her jeans.
