It didn't take long for Mina to figure out how to block out his sight. All he could see in her mirror was reflections over reflections the majority of the time, and soon enough he couldn't even see her as she sat at school because whenever she could, she'd set out smaller mirrors around her. And he thought she had pride.
"For fucks sake!"
Teague was livid, pacing in the empty ruins of his castle, before tearing open a gate and letting himself take a deep breath in the other plane. He couldn't go on not knowing what the hell was going on. Perhaps he wouldn't even have to confront them if he played his cards right. The kids were such a hassle, he almost wished they were never involved.
He put up a simple glamour, his royal robes shifting into a leather jacket and jeans as his hair burned from the roots out into a dusty blonde. Gentle freckles dotted his nose and cheeks as he was magically transported in front of the highschool. The ugly brick was pathetic compared to his home and he watched kids hop out of advanced carriages Small, boring birds flew overhead, a few screeching and a few barely tweeting. Everything was so new, so confusing, but sacrifices must be made for his safety.
That was weeks ago. Teague was now officially a student at that hellhole, known as Rin Gore. The odd name was another way of convincing others he was a transfer student and was, in fact, based off of the Grimoire.
"Rin! Heard you were signing up for the team?" Brody pulled Teague out of his thoughts as he tossed a heavy arm over his shoulder. No matter what, he couldn't seem to get the blondie alone, so he had an aggravating talk with the coach to be a part of the water polo team. It couldn't be that hard to keep your head above water, right?
"Yeah," Teague grunted, "thought it sounded fun." Brody's scent was overwhelming; cologne and chlorine. Not only that, he could almost feel Mina's influence clouding his mind with artificial love.
"Maybe I can be your personal coach?" Teague let out a snicker- who knew it would be so easy to get close to Brody fuckin' Carmichael?
"That actually sounds great. I'll meet you in the pool lobby?"
"Mmhm. Maybe I'll give you a treat if you go to all your classes, you punk." Teague's face flushed. Sure, he skipped a few classes, but that didn't give him the right to treat him like an animal. He shoved Brody's arm off of him and ducked into his next class.
"See you then."
