Chapter 4:

Binx felt something got and sticky on her arm. Blood!she must have scraped it on a nail or sharp wood in the fight. 'Oh well, it's nothing.' She thinks even though it goes from her shoulder to her elbow. She stands up and desides to go see if she can find what scraped her. Her arm is showing the blood by now, staining her purple shirt. She walks to the training place and the ninja and friends are still there. Lloyd sees her first. "Um Binx...whoa! What happened to your arm?" Se wanted to run again but could not. Her feet felt glued to the floor.

Rylan appeared in front of her. "My aim's off, this isn't my room, this is the deck," he said, looking around. "Oh, good thing Alexus isn't here, I'm afraid she's still a little mad at me," he said a little distantly. Then, be turned around and saw Binx. "Oh, hello, I don't think we've been properly introduced," he said, smiling. "Binx Lillyin." She says shaking his hand with her wounded arm. "Binx! Why happened to your arm?!" Lloyd asked again. "Oh, hold on, I'm good at healing wounds," Rylan said, holding out his hand. "Give me your arm," he said.

"N-no...I can heal it myself..." Binx says stepping back. She puts a sound barrier around her and uses shadows to conceal it so you could not see the pain she was in. She made the pain go up and up and up screaming so loud she thought that the sound barrier couldn't even hold it in. The wound held and the barrier went away. They saw her on her knees, sleeve roles up, wound gone, not even a scar, Gasping.

"I could have done that easier. I'm almost a full trained sorcerer," Rylan said. "If you're going to brag, brag about your family mansion to Alexus," Cole said with crossed arms. "Are you jealous of my family wealth?" Rylan asked.

Binx stands up. "It's ok. The pain is going away. I just have trust problems and I don't like people touching me so..." Looks away. "I-I...I'm going to th-the room I woke up in..." She says nervously looking at Lloyd. She walks out of the room, and starts heading footsteps behind her she keeps walking to the room but before she gets there, Alexus came around the hall. "Have you seen Rylan, I have words to exchange words with him," she asked Binx "In there." Points to the room I just left. "I can keep him in the room in you want. He will leaves he knows your coming but I can stop him from doing so. Just put a shadow barrier around the room and he can't get out. Not even a magic teleport will work." "No, I'm good, thanks for the offer," Alexus said, matching over to where she pointed. When she disappeared, Binx distinctively heard a yelp from Rylan.

She walks back in the room and watches Rylan being chases out of the room and the other ninjas except Lloyd talking. "Hey to to got the clean up right, seeing as it was you two who did the fight right? Thanks! Bye!" Kai says and him and the other ninja leave the training grounds. Binx looks at Lloyd and starts to clean up. He stars to as we'll with a huge sigh. After setting something down I turn and bump into him falling down. "Hu?!"

Lloyd looks down at her and smiles. He helps her up and she backs away a step but he just closes the space. Lifting up her chin he looks in her eyes. "Are you ok?" He asks at last. She nods and try's to turn away but he pulls her back holding both her arms. She stopped and looked at him. "You're sure?" He asked. She swallowed and nodded. He nodded slowly and let go of her arm. 'I need to talk to Jay, Cole, and Rylan,' he thought, walking below deck.

'I need to talk to Alexus' she thought, runing to find her. "A-Alexus...?" "Yes." She says looking up from 'Harry Potter and the half-blood prince'.

"Your in love with cole right?" Binx asks. "Yes..." Was the slow response. "How do you know when your in love? I think I'm halfway between love and terror. Can you help?" She asks pleadingly eyes wide.

Alexus grew extremely uncomfortable. "Well, it's not love if you just met the guy, so it's probably a crush. Second, it takes a year for it to be actually love. I've known Cole for more than a year, and why are you asking me?" Alexus takes very quickly.

"I...I am a bit different...I don't know many things about emotion like that. I know happy sad, joy, hate, anger, and pain. But not anything els. it scares me...he scares me...but not from what he has done. If anything I...I trust him...he never hurt me severely...Only a bruise or two...I'm sorry I asked...but Nya looked busy and I can't talk to boys and jade...a mentor of mine...I can't contact right now. She helps with my emotions..." Binx trails off.

"Right. So, let me be the first to say, welcome to the terrifying life of a teenage girl," Alexus said. "If you feel butterflies, it's completely normal," she continued, laying down on her bed. "Butterfly's?" Binx says confused. "That weird feeling you get in your stomach when you're nervous," Alexus explained. "Oh is that the feeling I got when Lloyd..." She stops suddenly looking away and blushing. Hard.

Binx just runs out and goes to her room. There is a note in the door.

Dear binx,

You may stay here as long as you like. Get some rest.

Sensei Wu

So she gets dressed for bed and falls asleep softly. 'I hope my friends don't worry about me too much...' She thinks before drifting off entirely
