Just a quick chapter to get you going again, but don't worry the next one should be up shortly :):)

By the way, I had someone asking about Mr. Drozdov and I just want to make it clear that I have not told you what element he uses because it's a surprise. You'll find out when Lily does :P

APOV

I walked into my room coming for the bathroom, my sweat pants on ready for bed. The rain was tapping against my window, which was strange seeing as it was a clear sky tonight.

The talk with Ivy was playing in my mind over and over. It still amazed me that she figured me out so quickly.

Then there was the whole Dylan thing that we didn't really get sorted. I mean, I'm a fire and spirit user. I can tell when people like people. It's harder to read with other spirit users, but with Dylan it's like there a huge neon sign above him flashing 'I want Lily!'. How come I'm the only one who seems to see this. And if there's one thing I'm going to do, it's keep him away from her.

Sure he may hang out with us and we're friendly, but that doesn't mean we like him. Ivy can't stand the guy, she's just being nice for Lily. I don't like him either. He's bad news. So if I have to be nice, to keep any eye on him. That's what I'm gonna do.

I was just about the pull the sheet over me when there was a knock at my door. I groaned and rolled over so my back was to the door. "I'm asleep. Go annoy someone else." I called.

"Lord Dragomir. It's about Lily Ivashkov."At the sound of Lily's name I threw myself out of bed and opened the door. One of the school guardians stood by my door, a somber look on his face.

"What is it? Is she okay?"

"She's in the infirmary sir."

"Take me to her." I said, grabbing my jacket by the door before running out of my room.

Opening my eyes I felt drained, my body heavy. I looked around, and knew I was in the infirmary. Everything was so clean and white. The brightness hurt my eyes. I lifted my arm up, and found the task too hard, so I left it lying by my side. Instead I just closed my eyes, hoping that would sheild them from the brightness.

"You're awake."

My eyes shot open as I looked over to the seat by my bed. There I saw Mr. Drozdov sitting by me, his eyes tired yet kind.

My eyes went wide as my heart began to beat uncontrollably. I was suddenly very glad there was no heart monitor hooked up to me. "What are you doing here?" when I spoke it was like rubbing sand paper against my throat, my voice coming out as a whisper.

He smiled. "Here, drink this." he handed me a glass of water.

Lifting my hands to the glass seemed to be more difficult than expected, so he held it as I drank. My eyes stayed glued to his as I took small sips of water.

It was magical. I know how silly that sounds, but it's true. Looking into those eyes as he held the glass for me. I swear I wish time would have just stopped. I would have stayed like forever. The blues were like a moving ocean, swirling around and around. The violet seemed to give his eyes a friendly feeling, full of colour and life. They were the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. The colours so majestic and strange.

When I was done I moved my head back, resting it against the pillow again.

"Better?" he asked, placing the glass on the table by the bed.

I nodded. "Thank you."

We sat there, staring at each other for a few minutes, though it felt like hours had passed. Nothing was said, we didn't need to speak. It was nice, just sitting.

Though when the door burst open, the spell broke as I tore my eyes away from his.

"Lily?" Andre rushed into the room. When he caught sight of me I saw him sigh with relief as he rushed to my bed. "Oh God. What happened? Are you okay?" he stood on the other side of my bed, holding my hand, squeezing it desperately.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable and worried. The memories of why I was in the infirmary came rushing back. My heart began to race, but not like it does with Mr. Drozdov. No this time it was with fear.

Andre watched me carefully, propbably noticing the slight changed from when he entered, but before anything could be said the door opened once again.

Jill walked in with Eddie close behind. "Lily." shecame to stand by Andre. "How are you feeling?" her voice was calm and gentle.

"Tired. And I can't move properly. Everything hurts." my voice still came out weak, but my throat didn't hurt as much.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie asked, looking at Mr. Drozdov.

"I found her."

My head snapped in his direction. "That was you?"

Before he could answer, Jill started the questioning. "Where was she?"

"I found her by the edge of the forest. She hadn't gotten too far, so when I heard her scream it was easy to find her." he answered, looking up at Jill, though my eyes never left his.

"The forest?" Eddie turned to me, and I couldn't help but drag my eyes away from Mr. Drozdov. "What were you doing there?"

I looked at the faces, that all seemed to be looking at me now. When my eyes landed on Eddie's again I felt small. Swallowing I answered. "Something was calling me."

The room fell silent.

Finally Andre spoke up. "Should he be here for this?" he gestured to Mr. Drozdov.

I frowned at Andre. It was probably the first time I had ever felt angry with him. "He found me. He has every right-"

"It's okay Lily. I should go." Mr. Drozdov cut in. He smiled at me as he stood. "I'll see you in class." I nodded as I watched him leave.

Once the door was closed, the questions began. "Lily, what called you?" Eddie asked.

It took me only a couple of seconds to think about the answer. "Magic."

"What do you mean 'magic'?" Andre frowned, confused.

It was Jill who spoke up though, as if she had put all the pieces together. "The rain and the hot wind. Was that you?" she didn't seemed surprised, more curious. When I nodded she went on. "The grass seems to be greener and longer too. Was that you as well?"

"I think so." I admitted.

"What does this mean?" Andre asked Jill. "Is she going to be okay?"

Jill smiled. "She's exhausted and sore because her magic took over. Though she's not in any danger. We just need to keep an eye on her." she turned to Eddie. "I think it's time to call Rose."

"What?" I shot up, regretting it straight away.

"Lie down Lily." Andre guided me down gently.

I did as he said, but the panic stayed. "Don't call Rose. Please. I don't want my parents finding out. They'll make me go back." suddenly the window blew open, as the rain fell harder.

Eddie moved to the door instantly, closing and locking it. He stayed by the door, as Jill grabbed my hand gently. "You need to relax Lily."

"But they'll make me leave. Please, don't call them." I begged as the window rattled.

"I can't keep this from them Lily. But I will make sure they don't take you back." her fingers stroked my hand soothingly.

Sleep seemed to be coming over me, but I fought it. "Why Rose?"

"She was shadow-kissed. She knows about spirit magic. And we both know this isn't just the witch magic in you." she looked at me knowingly. So with that I nodded, giving up. "Now relax. You need to sleep." she whispered, her fingers still stroking my hand.

So I closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Woo hoo, Rose is on her way, I can't wait :D

What did you guys think? Who was right about Mr. Drozdov? Don't worry I'll give him a first name in the next chapter, but I'm thinking Lily will still call him Mr. Drozdov… I don't know :P

Oh and by the way, yes my fanfic and any connected to it will probably have a lot of similarities with VA (student teacher relationship, shadow-kissed bone, forbidden love, and a whole heap of stuff). But I hope this doesn't stop you from reading. It'll still be different, I just can't keep out certain details :)

I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review :):)

Love and miss you all xox
