Magical Michief (For ultimus9)

[Lucinde]

Elyss had decided to go to class though she could t concentrate. Not only did her chest still hurt a bit, but because her secret was out, even if only one person knew. The illusion was still there and if she left, Alex would tell. She felt like a prisoner now with her e ery move being watched.


When lunch time came around, she sat off by herself underneath a tree to eat her lunch, tryi f to get her thoughts in order.

 

[ultimus9]

Alex was sitting in a tree, reading when he saw Eric sit under him. He snorted a little.


"You know, I don't know your real name."

 

[Lucinde]

"Elyssa." She answered in a low whisper so no one else would hear. Her name was known as one of the top students at Mistwood.

 

[ultimus9]

He shut his book with a snap.


"Elyssa, huh? Are you still a water mage or is everything a cover identity?"

 

[Lucinde]

"Still a water mage." She answered as she finished her meal. "So are you going to blackmail me to do things for your now or something?"

 

[ultimus9]

Alex tilted his head a little. "You know, I hadn't thought of that. Do you want me to blackmail you? And more importantly, what could you possibly get that would be worth blackmailing for?"

 

[Lucinde]

She raised an eyebrow. "Im not going to give you suggestions." She stood up to go dump her tray.

 

[ultimus9]

Alex dropped from the tree.


"You never answered my first question, you know."

 

[Lucinde]

"No one wants to be blackmailed, so my answer is no." She said.

 

[ultimus9]

Alex laughed. ""You know, you're a lot more refreshing when you're yourself."

 

[Lucinde]

She stopped to turn around and face him. "I dont get you. You are mad about there being a spy, then you find out who i am and do nothing?"

 

[ultimus9]

"And now I'm glad at the fact that the spy has been neutralized, and will pass on no more information, and if it does, then I'll make it's life hell. But right now, I'm content to sit back and watch."

 

[Lucinde]

"I havent even told anyone anything." She said. "I didnt even want to come here in the first place."

 

[ultimus9]

"Maybe. Maybe not. Forgive me if I don't trust a spy."

 

[Lucinde]

She sighed and headed to her classes. She didnt know if Alex had something planned and he was bluffing? Or when he would go tell the head master.


As the classes were soon over she headed back to the dorm to hide out. Some of her classmates had in ited her to go out into the city with them but she refused, it was netter that way. She couldnt risk it at all.

 

[ultimus9]

Alex was bouncing a ball off the ceiling. He heard Elyssa come in, turning to face her.


"Oh, hello. Fancy seeing your face again. Are you going to hide in your room forever? Have you decided to get Malinda to pick you up? You really should..."

 

[Lucinde]

"Werent you the one that said if I left you would tell the Head Master?" She questioned him.

 

[ultimus9]

"If you leave on your own." he smirked a little. "But if your headmistress arrives to pick you up, then she admits there was a spy. And she automatically disqualifies herself, prompting a speedy removal of her from her position as headmistress. Which I'd let you facilitate."

 

[Lucinde]

"I wouldnt dare do that." She gave him a stern look as the illusion around her faded. She looked much more frail and smaller like this than when she was in disguise. "That would bring a bad reputation not only to my family name, but to Malinda as well and I cant do that to her."

 

[ultimus9]

Eric stood up.


"Why do you still feel loyalty to that woman?"

 

[Lucinde]

"Shes my mentor. Sure shes a little crazy, but shes helped me so much with my magic." Elyssa said. "Ive learned so much from her and still have more to learn."

 

[ultimus9]

Alex fell back on the bed, spread-eagled.


"Typical."

 

[Lucinde]

Elyssa groaned and went to her own room. That was a typical answer and she knew it. She held a lot of respect towards Malinda. She sat on her bed to work on the potion homework for one of her classes.

 

[ultimus9]

(time skip?)

 

[Lucinde]

(Sure)
