I'm back with another chapter. I think 'Hazel Eyes' is going to be on a break until I can get everything sorted out. So I'm so very sorry about that. This chapter goes out to the guest that wanted me to 'update soon' lol. Anyways, thank you to everyone for reading this as always. Enjoy ! :)
As the bell rang, signaling that 6th period was now over. That meant school was over as well. Students filed out quickly, happy to have made it through the first day back.
Carlos and Logan walked alongside each other. As they were reaching the entrance, Carlos spoke.
"Hey, so, maybe I can get your number?" Logan raised his brow at that and Carlos grinned nervously. "F-for the project. I mean, I need to get to know my partner." he supplied with a wink.
Logan blushed lightly and took out his phone. Carlos did the same and they swapped, each putting in their numbers. As they exchanged, one final shock went through both of them, causing them to make eye contact. The bond has been made.
As Logan began to slightly lean forward, James and Kendall were there. The ravenette quickly moved to Kendall's side, causing the Latino to frown.
"Alright, so um, James and I barely escaped Jo and Camille!" Kendall said, both males heavily panting as if they had run a marathon.
"Escaped?" Carlos said with a quirk of his brow.
"They're trying to make Blondie and I go out today." James said, missing the fact that the nickname he created when seeing a picture of his soulmate slipped. Carlos and Logan missed it as well, thinking that Kendall already knew.
But the blonde blushed upon hearing it. "Ah, okay. Well looks like we gotta go. I get to drive!" Carlos announced, grabbing the car keys out of James' hand.
The other two boys nodded , following them out to the parking lot. "So uh, I'll call you later or something to get started. Later Logan."
With that, James got into the passenger seat and buckled his seat belt, looking as if he was praying when Carlos got into the driver's seat.
They laughed thinking that James was showing that Carlos was a bad driver. The Latino rolled his eyes and let a smirk slip over his features as he buckled his seat belt, turning on the car. With one final wave, he pulled out of the parking lot.
James finally looked up when they were on the road. "You don't have to do that every time you know?" The brunette turned to face his driving best friend.
"Well, the last time I didn't, you subsequently crashed. So, Carlitos, I will put a protection spell over the car every time you drive." It was true. The Latino had convinced James not to cast the protection spell because he didn't need it yet not even 4 minutes later, they were somehow in a ditch. No magic could get them out without people noticing.
"Fine!" Carlos said dramatically. James rolled his eyes and slid out his phone, putting in the 4 digit password. Sure, they could cast magic. That didn't mean they were living under the rock.
He clicked on Instagram, having got it because of the Latino. He had begged for James to get it, saying it was basically just a way to interact with people. Finally giving in, James downloaded the app.
He saw that he had received a notification and saw that the user 'thedramaqueencami' had followed him. Upon clicking the profile, he quickly gathered from the bio that it was Camille. He requested her and turned his phone off. Just then, he realized Carlos had been talking the whole time.
"So yeah, Logan and I are in the process of bonding. What about you and Kendall?" Carlos asked, slowing down the car as it was a red light. He glanced at his best friend.
"Yeah, uh, good I guess. We don't seem to have much in common. And that Jett guy seems to be interested in him." Carlos didn't detect the slight undertone of jealousy seeing as he had pressed on the accelerator since the light turned green. "I dunno, I still find it hard to believe he's the one for me."
The Latino nodded thoughtfully, James waiting a response. "Well since he's meant for you and you for him, I'm sure that you will eventually get together. I also doubt that Jett will get in the way. He just seems like an asshole."
"Yeah, that's true." the boys pulled up to the Diamond home, which was a 4 bed 3 bath home. The Garcias and Diamonds were close, seeing as they were the only magic families that lived close to one another.
The Garcias lived across the street though both of their parents were currently out. They had said they would be exploring and go to the nearby forest and wouldn't be back until around 7. The teens were fine with that, accustomed to that happening often.
James unlocked the door with his key, waiting for the Latino to gather his things from the trunk which he locked afterwards. Throwing them at James as he approached, he went inside the home that was refreshing seeing as it was scorching hot outside. Both males liked to keep on their sweaters though, to hide the ink they had on their arms.
On James' right upper arm, his had a tattoo of a triangle inside of a circle that interrupted the circle's lines with it's corners. Inside the triangle where semicircles in each corner, the rounding side facing said corner. There was a circle inside of that. There was also three circles on each side of the triangle.
That meant signified his alternation magic. He could manipulate things to go a certain way and cast powerful spells to prevent things.
On his inner right wrist there was a circle split into fourths. On one fourth, it was what seemed like a piece of land. The next fourth was a symbol for air, three lines drawn was the middle one slightly curving around the other two. Below that were three zigzagged lines that symbolized water. The bottom left right fourth had a flame, which is pretty self explanatory.
He was able to manipulate elements, meaning that he could control them if they were around. Like if water was around, he could simply think about it spraying towards someone and it would happen.
Another one was on his left forearm. It was a horizontal rhombus that had a diamond in it. A diamond was colored with the diamond on the top point. Two swirls were on either side of the rhombus.
This signified his illusionary magic. He could create a sort of illusion in order to hide something. An example of this is using a sort of mirror spell to blend in with it's surrounding while hiding whatever was behind it.
Finally, his last tattoo was on his left upper arm. There was an outline of a square and a diamond stacked on top of each other. Inside of it was a hand that had a drop on it.
It represented his blood magic, meaning that he could use his blood for certain things. It was a powerful magic that he rarely used, especially on others but still made him highly respected in not only his family but with the magic world as well.
Carlos had the same tattoos, except the blood magic. Instead, he had one on his left wrist. It was a heart with a flame in the middle. On the left side of the heart, a spiral was connected to it.
It was his life magic. This allowed him to control how things live. If he wanted a flower to stay alive, he could cast a simple spell and that would keep it going for how long he wanted. Though he wasn't yet able to preform it on humans, it was still a pretty useful gift.
As both males shed of their sweaters, the tattoos came into view. They dropped their backpacks in front of the brown couches they chose to flop themselves onto.
"Hey, did Camille request you too?" Carlos asked as he scrolled through his phone.
James continued to slid out his binder from his backpack, then grabbing a pencil. "Yeah, wonder how she got our social though."
"Pass me your phone, Imma request her and everyone else that I can find off her account." Carlos said, sitting up and holding his hand out. James simply glanced at his phone before moving his eyes towards Carlos' hand. Then he turned his eyes back to his homework.
The phone went up into the air and it flew into the Latino's hand who clutched it. "Alright thanks."
LINE BREAK
Kendall pulled into the driveway, lowering his music as he began to focus more on parking. He had just dropped off Logan at his home, the two deciding to hang out later at 7. Their parents were okay with them going out together, as long as they weren't out too late. They trusted their sons and the people in town to make sure they were safe.
Finally shifting the gear to park, Kendall turned off the car. He grabbed the jacket thrown onto the passenger seat and reached behind him to grab his backpack. Getting out of the car, he locked it and walked up to the door. His mother had already opened it for him.
"Hey ma." he said, swooping down and placing a kiss on her cheek. She patted his back lightly and closed the door behind him.
"Hey sweetie, how was school?" she asked as her son made her way to the kitchen, opening the fridge. He took out a water bottle and took a swig before answering.
"It was pretty cool. Uh, I met the new kids. They're nice." Jennifer tensed slightly before smiling.
"Oh. That's good. Anything interesting?" see, the woman was cautious about the new kids. I mean, 17 years in Sherwood and no reaction at all? One of them could maybe be her son's true love. Sure, when William had first explain the whole magic to her, she thought he was lying. But she'd come to accept it.
"Oh yeah, actually. I think something's up with the necklace. It started heating up, same for Logan. But when I touched his, I didn't feel a thing but mine was scorching. I dunno." the blonde shrugged and turned to grab an apple. Jennifer grew still.
Though as Kendall entered the living room again, she shrugged as well. "Who knows? Well, you should start your homework before you go out. Logan's mom already called to say you two were gonna go to the, um-"
"The diner. So I'm not gonna have dinner. Love you!" Kendall said, kissing her cheek once more before grabbing his backpack and going up the stairs.
Jennifer took out her phone before going to her contacts. She pressed the one that said Nicholas.
Let's just hope that Kendall still doesn't have to be involved
Nicholas felt his phone buzz and took it out of his pocket. The caller ID read 'Jen'. He remembered the last time they talked, when his brother went missing. He had to convince her to say that he had died and though Nicholas still was afraid of what had happened to him, he knew that William wouldn't leave his family unless it depended on their lives.
He answered on the third ring. "Hello?"
"Nicholas, Kendall's necklace is finally reacting. I don't know what to do and-"
"I'll be out there by tonight. Thank you for calling Jen. " he said. He let the woman say goodbye before hanging up. A sigh escaped him.
"I'll make sure your son is okay, little brother." Nicholas said, staring at his phone wallpaper. With that, he exited the room, and up the stairs. He locked the door to the basement and walked away. With a swipe of his hands, the hallway that led to the basement door was ignited with flames.
Going out the door, he disappeared into the shadows, ignoring the screams of the demons trapped inside the home.
Oh damn, I feel good about this. The next chapter will be about the call Carlos promised Logan and the diner. Also, more of Jennifer talking to Nicholas. Oof, I hope you guys really are liking it. I mean, I actually have to research some of this stuff, like the tattoos which I hope you could envision. Uh, like always, I'd like to know what you guys think. Um, reviews are always appreciated and I'm always open to suggestions.
