Mal's POV.

The past month or so has been like a living hell. Between spending almost no time with Ben, Audrey pushing my buttons at every turn and my magic being on the fritz I'm completely past it now. I've done nothing but stress and panic about things. I had started distancing myself from everyone as well. I couldn't stand the thought of hurting someone I care about. I mean I don't even like Audrey but I feel bad about what I did.

The more things have worsened the more I have stressed. I pretty much don't leave my dorm room now unless it's for class. The only person I can't avoid is Evie but when she;s in the room I sit on the bed and place a protective barrier around myself. Evie had stopped questioning it now since the only response I ever give is 'you know why I'm doing this'. I missed my friends and family so much. I wish this wasn't happening but I have to find a way to control it before letting people get close to me again.

So here I was during my free lesson locked on my dorm room, away from anyone I could possible hurt. Everyone knew not to disturb me lately so when a knock sounded at the door I couldn't help but jump a little. Who the hell was bothering me now. "Go away!" I called to whoever was the other side of the door.

"Mal, open the door!" Jay called back to me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him. Why can't they all just leave me alone.

"No!" I shouted to him. He really needed to leave. I could already feel my magic fighting to get out. Honestly, I was already struggling to keep it at bay. What I didn't expect was for Jay to have back up. Seconds after shouting my response to him I saw a burgundy swirl of smoke in front of my door. I jumped a little as it cleared to reveal Jay and Jordan. "You both need to go. Now!" I ordered them, but I knew they wouldn't listen.

"You can't keep yourself locked away from everyone. It's not healthy for you." Jay told me. I clenched my fists in the hope it would keep my escalating magic at bay. Although I had no idea how long this would work for.

"We can all help you but this isn't going to help." Jordan said. Sometimes I hate how well she has gotten to know me since dating Jay.

"No. The pair of you need to leave." I told them. I could feel my magic was quickly getting out of control.

"Hell no!" Jay exclaimed. "We are not leaving until you let us help you." He stated. Why the hell did they both have to be so damn stubborn. I couldn't help the panic taking over my body and I could feel the magic rising in my body. They had to leave before something happened. Until I saw Jordan gently grab hold of Jay's arm I didn't realise how much the magic had taken over me.

I extended my arm/hand out towards them but immediately pulled it back when I saw purple sparks emitting from my fingers and palms. I clenched my fist as tightly as I could to try and stop the sparks but they only seemed to get worse.

"Please, you need to go." I begged them. They both shook their heads but them not listening only seemed to make me worse. I noticed the scared looks on their faces and Jordan tightened her grip on Jay's hand slightly. This was exactly why people needed to leave me the hell alone. I can't control myself once other people are around, hell I can barely control myself when I'm alone.

"We're not just going to leave you like this." Jordan stated. Even though she looked absolutely terrified her voice remained steady.

"Yeah. Like hell are we going to bail on you." Jay said. Usually I love this kind of loyalty from my siblings and friends but right now it was pushing me over the edge.

Before I could stop myself I started shouting and felt myself loose the last ounce of self control I had. "I said you need to get out!" I screamed at the pair as I waved my hand out in Jay's direction. The next action shocked me out of the trance I was in.

As I waved my hand sparks flew from my finger tips hitting Jay and sending him hurling through the door. I gasped as he landed on the other side of the door and stood there staring at him. Looking at his face it was easy to see he was in pain. I can't believe I just did that. I hurt my brother. What the hell is wrong with me!

"Jay!" Jordan called out, as she ran to him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He strained out, pain lacing his voice. "My back just hurts a little. That's all." I wouldn't have been able to stop the fear showing on my face if I tried.

"What happened?" Fairy Godmother asked as she came into my view next to Jay. I turned my attention to her and saw Ben and someone I have never seen before with her. I couldn't help but eye the stranger, there was something familiar about her. Thankfully being focused on her I saw but Ben and Fairy Godmother turn towards me. The headmistress took a step closer to me and I instinctively took a step back.

"It's okay, Mal, it's not your fault." Fairy Godmother said, stopping once she noticed me moving backwards. My eyes flitted back to the stranger who had moved behind the Headmistress.

"Please, just stay back." I begged them. I hated myself for what I have just done to Jay. "I don't want to hurt anyone else." I said, my voice cracking with unshed tears. Even though my vision was blurry I could still see the pain and Jay's face, the upset looks on Ben and Jordan's faces and the caring looks on fairy Godmother's and the stranger's face. I mean who the hell is she, anyway.

"I'm so sorry, Jay." I apologised to my brother before transporting myself out of there and as far away from the people I care about as I could get. I could stand to hurt anymore of them.

No One's POV.

The second Mal transported herself away everyone felt bad. Jay laid on the floor next to Jordan wishing he had been able to keep the pain off his face a little longer. Maybe if he had Mal wouldn't have freaked out and left. Maybe she would still be here right now. Jordan was knelt next to her boyfriend feeling equally bad. She knew she had let a fearful look cross her face which probably led to Mal getting more upset then she should have been.

Ben couldn't believe what had just happened. He knew Mal's magic was out of control he just never figured it was this bad. How had he not realised his girlfriends magic is this far out of control, not realise she had distanced herself out of fear.

Fairy Godmother was just confused. Of course she was concerned for the teenager, she had been for a while. And with all the concerned visits she had gotten from various friends of the purple haired girl she should have acted on it sooner. Maybe she could have helped the girl instead of her being alone, confused and scared.

"I need to find her." The stranger said to the group. "I need to tell her who I am and how I can help her." She stated causing the Headmistress to nod her agreement.
