I thought a lot about it. And I decided to continue, so this is now a two-shot. I started playing around with it, liked the outcome, so here it is! Hope you enjoy it as much as the first chapter! :)


"Emma, what are you doing here?" I asked, with a smile still plastered on my face. It got bigger when I noticed she was still staring at me, as if this was a dream. She soon snapped out of it to give me a worried look.

"I don't know. Where are-" she stopped short, looking at her surroundings, realizing where she was. "Oh no, this is, bootcamp! Desdemona sent me to Rebel's Boot Camp?!" She's so cute when she's worried.

"Well what's left of it. Half of us got sent home, stripped of our powers." I told her.

She perked up while saying, "But, you're still here!"

I chuckled lightly; she actually still cares about me. "Well, only hanging on by my fingertips, there's only a week left." I looked at her from head to toe before again asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Desdemona accused me of 'public spell casting' and I guess this is my punishment." she confessed.

"Did you?" I asked.

"NO." she denied quickly, but I knew she was lying. That space between her perfectly-done eyebrows crinkled up, so I gave her the look, and blinked at her.

"Ok yes, all summer." she admitted. I chuckled again. Adorable. My Em becoming a rebel. I couldn't help but take some responsibility for this. "But I can't be here."

"Don't worry, there's only a week left." I assured her.

"I can't stay," she stressed. "It's my dad's birthday. I'm organizing a party and-"

"Oh" I said, cutting her off. This wounded me a bit. I bet everyone's invited, except me. I really blew it, didn't I?

She took this time to correct herself, trying to make me feel better, even though I didn't deserve it. "It's small, just me and dad-"

"Don't sweat it." I told her, understanding. I realized this would probably be a good time to get back to training before Agamemnon came back, so I began to walk away from her. "I mean, we hardly saw each other so-"

"Mr. Novoa, you're not finished with the Spells of the Day. What are you waiting for?" Agamemnon said, standing before me. He then caught sight of Emma behind me. "OH, look who decided to join us!" he announced with a laugh.

"Aggie, I was unfairly-" Emma tried to say.

"If life were fair, everyone would be able to do this." He casted a spell, which took Emma and I by surprise, but we relaxed when we saw he only conjured an iced drink. "Now, start the SODs, NOW!" he bellowed.

I complied, and casted a spell that made a block appear and break another wizard's fall. "Well done, Mr. Novoa!" he complimented before turning his attention to Emma. "What are you waiting for? 10 vision spells, NOW!" Emma then proceeded to cast spells, while I continued my spells of the day.


Lunch time was next. Apparently it was tacos, but it only looked as if it came straight from an abandoned garbage can. I sat at a table alone, as usual, and began to pick at my food, as usual. So imagine how surprised I was to see Emma sit down next to me.

"You're still here? I thought Agamemnon would of let you go by now."

"Nope, he still doesn't think I learned my lesson." she said with a sigh. "I bet everyone's wondering where I am."

"At least they care." I said under my breath, but she heard me.

"I still care about you. I've missed you Jax, I just didn't realize it until now." She then rested her hand on top of mine, and gave me an encouraging smile. I cracked a small one of my own before looking back at my food, or as I like to call it, poison.

It was so unfair that I couldn't just kiss her right then and there; I now sympathize with the dogs whose owners don't give them a bone to chew on. I groaned quietly because of this.

"Does everyone still hate me?" I blurted without thinking.

She nervously scoffed. "What? Nah, they're over it."

"So I take that as a yes?" She hesitated, but then nodded, obviously piting me.

I sighed heavily. "I deserve it Em. You shoudn't even forgive me." I actually meant it. They had every right to hold animosity towards me, but I wondered if I was being too hard on myself.

Emma must've thought so. She rapidly shook her head while saying, "I believe in second chances. Besides, you did help me, even if it was at the last minute." Her face then slightly fell. "I do want to apologize... for the way things went down between us. The last thing I wanted was to-"

"It's cool, I get it; you still like Daniel." I said as I stared at her. I could see the sorrow and guilt in her eyes, which isn't something I enjoyed seeing. "It's okay Emma, really." I assured her, which made her crack a small smile.

She began to pick up a 'taco' but I stopped her before she consumed it. "That might not be the best idea." I warned her. She understood, and casted a spell to change it to a pizza with weird and various toppings. Typical Emma. I thought to myself, mentally smiling.

"Why didn't I think of that?" I asked myself quietly while changing mine to a grilled cheese sandwich. I took a bite and sighed, savoring it. She started to laugh at me, and I rolled my eyes. Internally, I smiled. She has the most amazing smile I thought.

We had just finished our lunch when the bell rang, signaling us that it was time to go back to the gym.


We were now back in the gym to finish training for the day. Emma came over to talk after finishing her spell.

"I just made a rope appear and had to climb up it."

"I'm spell strength training. Gotta levitate that tire over there with one finger, no verbal spell." I informed her, pointing to it.

"And then we can leave?"

"No, then we have to-" she began walking away, aggravated. "Emma, just wait!" I called after her, but she then began arguing with Agamemnon about leaving, again.

I lifted the tire with one finger effortlessly, but as time went on (meaning about 10 seconds) I already felt weak, and dropped to my knees.

"YOU BETTER NOT DROP THAT MR. NOVOA!" Agamemnon shouted.

Suddenly, Emma was under the tire. My expression went from in pain to concerned and terrified.

"Emma, move!" I yelled.

She attempts to, but said, "I can't, I'm stuck!"

"I can't hold it for much longer!" She again tries to move while I try my hardest to keep the tire from hitting her. All Agamemnon was doing was laughing at our struggle. Other people began to surround us, watching.

"I..can't...I can't hold it much longer!" I said, struggling from the pressure. "Emma, tele-transport out of here, DO IT!" She obeys, and disappears right before I drop the tire. I plummet to the ground, catching my breath. Oh no, Emma. "EMMA!"I yelled as I ran to the tire and lifted it to see if she was hurt, but she wasn't there, meaning she made it to the pool. I was a bit relieved she was okay, but furious with Agamemnon for doing that to me.

"YOU WENT TOO FAR!" I shouted.

"NO, I didn't. Perhaps you didn't go far enough, and, dropped the ball so to speak." he said, laughing. I threw my hands up, tired of his little games.

"BACK TO WORK! Witches!" he yelled to everyone else.

I sat with my back on the wall and my hands in my head, trying to calm down. Agamemnon could've seriously hurt her, and he didn't even care! I don't know what I would've done if something happened to her.

I heard Agamemnon's footsteps as he walked over to me. "You haven't finished your SODs, Mr. Novoa. GET. UP"

I stood up, ready to retaliate. "You shouldn't have done that. Emma really could've been hurt."

"You would've allowed a ton of rubber to fall on her before she disappeared?" he asked, suspicious.

"Never!" I defended quickly.

"Well there you are." he said with a laugh "No harm, no foul."

"You had no right to put me in that position! She really could of been hurt." I pressed, raising my voice.

"DON'T FORGET WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO. I'M A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, and I can take your powers , and hers, whenever I choose."

"Can you take hers?" I challenged. "Because she's getting stronger and stronger."

"I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU, MR. NOVOA." raising his voice again to override mine. "Go chew on a shoe." he said, laughing as he casted a spell on me, and before I knew it, I was a dog.

I then was transported into some kind of maze, and saw Emma, innocently looking around. I couldn't help but 'check her out'; all I could think is shit, she looks really good in black. Maybe that's why I kind of liked her clone better...

"Emma! You're okay!" I exclaimed, but shortly realized that she couldn't hear me. She turned around and looked at me, well, the dog, and I saw the fear in her eyes.

"Oh no." she said before running off. I forgot; she has a fear of dogs. I shouldn't have, after turning into one last year just to scare her (not my best move).

I ran after her. "Wait, Emma, it's me! Wait up!" I yelled, forgetting again that she couldn't hear me.

I spent about 10 minutes chasing her through the maze, and surprisingly I wasn't tired, but she was. I could see her slow down, but still had panic in her eyes, her milk chocolate eyes. Jax, focus! I told myself. You need her to realize it's you!

I cornered her into a dead end, which had a pile of bricks in the back. She picked one up. Uh oh, I thought to myself.

"Stay back! Or I'll-I'll turn you into a harmless fly!" Adorable, she didn't even think of killing it.

She then tilted her head and stared at me before putting down the brick, walking towards me and saying, "Jax?"

I finally changed back into a person. She let out a sigh of relief and ran to hug me after I stood on my own two feet. She smelled like strawberries, which happen to be my favorite fruit. I tried to savour the hug as long as possible, not knowing when I'd get another one.

She then pulled back. "Was that the test? That wasn't so bad! All I had to do was get over my fear and recognize you." She was so innocent, thinking it was over, but I knew better than to think it was that easy.

"It wasn't; I expect more from Agamemnon." I told her. As soon as I said that, Emma disappeared, and I was horrified at what replaced her. I started to hyperventilate rapidly.

"I wish I hadn't said that! Oh why a bird?" Then, everything went dark.


When I regained consciousness, I looked around, realizing I was still in the maze, and that horrible creature was right in front of me. I wasted no time.

"Get away from me, get away from me!" I shouted while I stood up and backed away from it. I closed my eyes so I didn't faint again.

"I know it's you Emma." I opened them hesitantly, and saw the bird was still in front of me. "I said your name, why aren't you changing back to Emma?!" I took a deep breath, and kneeled down to the bird's level. I outstretched my hand, and it positioned itself on my fingers as I held it up to my face.

I took in another deep breath and firmly said, "Emma." The bird was replaced with Emma, who looked a bit lost, but once she saw me, she grinned and said, "You did it!" I laughed and she embraced me for the second time.

When we pulled away, she continued. "I'm really proud you, I know how much birds scare you." On cue, I flinched. I guess it's not completely gone.

"Sorry." she squeaked. I chuckled, thinking it was adorable.

"It's not your fault, I wished I didn't have the stupid phobia; at least yours is common." She smiled at me, and then, kissed me on the cheek. I looked at her in amazement, and bit my lip to hide my grin. I felt myself blushing and my cheeks started to burn, and I didn't try to hold it back.

She then explained herself. "Sorry, I don't want you to get the wrong idea, but, I didn't think a hug was enough of a thank you, so-"

"Don't worry, I won't brag about it if I see him." Even though I was a bit upset, I got where she was coming from. I did however, had to resist the urge to grab her and crash my lips against her soft, pink ones. It was especially hard when I saw the way she looked at me, her eyes sparkling.

I clenched my fists. This was not FAIR.

She smiled the smile I loved and said, "Thanks." I returned it. It was weird, me not being able to brag about something I gained, epecially to Daniel Miller.

We then got transported back to the Boot Camp gym. Emma looked relieved.

"Finally, we can go home!" My smile faded when I saw the sign on the wall.

"No, wait." I walked over to it and read it. "Emma and Jax finish the SOD before going home." I reluctantly picked up a ball to get started. Emma, though wouldn't budge."

"What? No, I'm already late."

I turned to her, with a ball on my shoulder. "We have to."

"No way, I'm not doing anymore. I'm not missing my dad's party for this." She turned and walked away.

"Where are you going?"

"To find a way out of here." she said in an obvious tone.

"There's no point you're wasting you time. Agamemnon has to let us go."

She looked bewildered. "Where do you sleep?"

I pointed to the ladder where the rest of the iniates go after training. "The barracks."

"Uh-uh. I'm leaving." Whoa, I've never really seen this side of her, without the Fool Moon's effect I mean. It kind of..turned me on. Jax, this isn't the time, you have to stop her. I reminded myself.

I dropped the ball and ran after her. Jax Novoa trying to convince good girl Emma Alonso to follow the rules? I though I'd never see the day.

"Emma, this a bad idea. If Agamemnon catches us, we could kiss our powers goodbye."

"You can stay, but I can't do this to my dad." she said before proceeding to the emergency exit.

"Emma, don't do it! Listen to me. Emma!" She ignored me and walked right through the door. I knew I couldn't just let her leave and have Agamemnon punish her. I groaned before following her.

As soon as I went through the door, there was smoke everywhere.

"Where are we? Is this the cafeteria?" she asked.

"I was trying to tell you, that the emergency exit leads to Iridium High."

This perked her up. "Great, I'm closer to home! Now let's go before Agagmem-"

"Before Agamemon what?" He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which startled us both. "Gets a snack? Or find the two rogue rebels running about?" he laughed a bit deviously. "Boom, got you."

We stood before him, afraid of the consequences. However, I knew if worst comes to worst, I would protect her. I would do anything in my power to make sure nothing bad happened to her, even if it meant losing my powers...again. I began to wonder what was happening to me, and why I care about Emma more than I care about myself. Why I was changing for her, and becoming a better wizard and person, for her. It was just..so unlike me.

The ultimate goal for me is to win her heart, and be the guy she told me she saw during the storm. If I can do that, then nothing else matters, not my dad, my feud with the Council, my grades, etc.

I didn't realize it until now, but she was the best thing that's ever been mine, and I intend to get her back, whatever it takes.
