Alright thank you everyone for your reviews, I am so happy that people like this story. Briar thank for your advice and I look forward to hearing more from you, and it wasn't cheesy. Now if Magnus goes out with anyone he will be a loyal partner and stick with them. With Maddie I am not sure if he will end up with her but I will say they will have a great friendship no matter what happens between them. Thank you all for the reviews and for part of this chapter listen to John Legend's All of me to help with reading this chapter.
Walking out onto the stage I motioned for the other guys to push a piano into the middle of the stage, while I started to light some scented candles around the stage. Looking around I snapped my fingers and the lights soon dimmed and a lone light blue spotlight appeared above the piano. Sitting down I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Let's hope this works…"
Gently I placed my fingers on the keys of the piano, and slowly I started to trace my fingers across the ivory's. Thank you, John Legend, for this song.
"What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in and you kicking me out. You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down. What's going on in that beautiful mind. I am on your magical mystery ride. And I am so dizzy, don't know what hit me but I'll be alright."
Taking a breath, I looked out into the audience and gave the best smile I had. "My head's underwater but I'm breathing fine. You're crazy and I'm out of my mind." Let's bring it home. "Because all of me loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfection. Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning. Even when I am losing I'm winning. Cause I give you all of me. And you give me all of you."
Looking back into the audience I smiled seeing both Hunter and Ashlynn in the back holding each other. That is…is adorable. "How many times do I have to tell you, even when your crying you're beautiful too. The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood. You're my downfall, you're my muse. My worst distraction my rhythm and blues, I can't stop signing, it's ringing in my head all for you."
"My head's underwater but I'm breathing fine. You're crazy and I'm out of my mind." Let's bring it home. "Because all of me loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfection. Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning. Even when I am losing I'm winning. Cause I give you all of me. And you give me all of you."
Let's wrap it up. "Give me all of you, cards on the table, we're both showing hearts. Risking it all, though it's hard. Because all of me loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfection. Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning. Even when I am losing I'm winning. Cause I give you all of me. And you give me all of you."
The music slowly died down and soon it ended, looking down at my fingers I was lucky I had practiced that…and abused the crap out of song magic. Slowly standing to my feet I smiled and bowed to the audience, looking back at them I raised an eyebrow. "Was that alright?"
The applause shocked me because it was really…extremely loud. Then the fact that there was a lot of squealing. Looking around I decided to run off the stage just in case they decided to mob me. "Curse you John Legend how dare you create a song that makes women swoon!"
"Magnus that was amazing, I didn't know you could sing like that." Ashlynn smiled at me with her arm wrapped around Hunter.
"Yeah I didn't know you had it in you." The future huntsman nodded. "How did you do that?"
"I abused the crap out of song magic." Shrugging I grinned. "Now I have a favor to you ask of you both."
"What's that?" They asked at the same time.
"Hide me!" Looking around I hid behind Hunter just as a crowd of girls ran by.
"Hey where did the new kid go?" The girls asked.
"Um…He went that way." Ashlynn said pointing in the opposite direction.
"Let's get them girls!" The random girls then ran in the direction Ashlynn pointed, looking around Hunter shook his head. "Okay it's safe Magnus, and am I the only that thinks it weird that we have never seen those girls before?"
"Background characters that have no importance but they can still tear me limb from limb." I muttered. "Thanks for the save you two, I owe you guys one."
Giggling Ashlynn shook her head. "It's no problem Magnus."
"Don't worry man we will cover for you but I think you should hide in your room or somewhere the girls won't find you." Hunter shrugged. "Well we are heading off into town." Waving the two of them left.
"Yo new kid."
"Sweet Mamba Jamba!" Jumping into the air I turned around and closed my eyes getting down on both knees. "I just have one request…. be gentle…"
"Melody do you know what he is talking about?" A quiet voice whispered slightly.
"No clue, listen we aren't here to…whatever you think we are going to do to you so get up."
"Huh…" Looking up I opened my mouth and shut it again…. This world isn't fair…really. The first girl standing before me had olive skin with lavender-white hair with purple streaks, she had a pair of headphones hanging around her neck, and she wore…. punk style like clothes only with more color. The second girl had dark pink hair with purple streaks and dark skin, she wore coral clothing with a shining light blue scale skirt that went down to her to just above her ankles.
"Hey there I'm Melody Piper." The girl with the headphones introduced herself.
"And I'm Meeshell Mermaid." The other girl introduced herself. "We just wanted to say we really liked your performance." She said with a small blush.
"Oh…Um thanks." Blushing brightly, I rubbed the back of my head.
"Mhm you did really good up there, but if you ever want to really rock look me up sometime." Melody placed her hands in her pockets and smirked.
Laughing I nodded my head. "Sure, I will take you up on that offer sometime."
Grinning Melody waved and started to walk off. "See yeah new kid."
"Just call me Magnus!" I called after her.
Giggling Meeshell shook her head and gave me a dazzling smile. "See you later Magnus."
"That was nice." Smiling I started to walk away but froze in horror upon hearing something that chilled my blood.
"Who the new kid? He is over there." Melody said pointing back toward me.
"Oh, you have to be kidding me!" I cried as a ran away from the crowd of girls chasing me.
Panting heavily, I grabbed my chest and shook my head. "I am going to never sing John Legend songs ever again…" I just avoided all the girls and found a quiet place to catch my breath. Breathing out a large sigh I closed my eyes and rested against a wall.
"Look out below!"
"Oh, god it's not just one thing…." Looking up I saw a falling form of someone who jumped out a window. "Holy crap on a stick!" Bracing myself I held my arms out and caught the falling girl, the girl that fell into my arms was beautiful…. You know what that's it I'm done…all these girls have some form of supernatural beauty and that isn't right. The girl in my arms had thick wavy brown hair with pink stripes, and light brown skin. She was wearing a pink and black dress with flowers all over. Her legs were covered in brown and black stockings with thorn designs and pink high heels.
"Woho! What a rush." The girl shouted pumping her arms into the air. "Thanks for the save…Oh wait you're the new guy Magnus, right?"
"Yep, that's me and you are?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm Briar Beauty, and it's great to meet you." She smiled.
"You to and why did you jump out a window?"
"Just for the rush you see I have to do all I can before my century long sleep." The future sleeping beauty shrugged. "And you can put me down now if you want."
Looking down I saw she was still in my arms. "Oh right…Sorry." Setting her down I rubbed the back of my head.
"It's fine but thanks for the rescue." Giggling Briar smiled and waved at me. "See you later Magnus, I hope you'll catch me next time I jump out a window." And with that she walked away leaving me alone.
"How do these weird things keep happening to me?"
For the time being I decided to hide in the library since no one really comes in here unless they really want something, so finding a big stack of books to behind I pulled a book off the shelf and started to read. "Learning Magic for Dummies, seriously they have Dummies books here?" Shrugging I decided to keep reading anyway. As I read through the book I didn't notice that someone was sneaking up on me and was too late to do anything upon feeling someone poke me in the back.
"Hey Magnus."
…. I'm not going to lie I jumped, and when I say jumped I ended up clinging like a cat to one of the more upper shelves of the nearest bookcase. Looking down I saw the giggling form of Madeline Hatter, who fell onto her back kicking her feet up into the air. "You should…You see the look on your face." She let out in between bits of laughter.
"Ha-ha very funny Madeline." Grumbling I couldn't help but feel some smug sense of victory as I cut off her laughter and she scowled at me.
"Call me Maddie." She demanded.
"Never." I said and stuck my tongue out at her.
Rolling her eyes Madeline smiled. "Anyway, Magnus what are you doing here in the library?"
"Hiding from some of the other girls, they are all crazy. Thank goodness you're the one that found me, your one of the few sane girls here." I grinned.
Giggling Madeline shook her head. "Calling the mad hatter's daughter sane…. You're so weird Magnus."
"You have no idea…. Now, how did you find me?" I asked staring down at her.
Reaching behind her the girl pulled out a device that looked like a combination between a bop-it and a super computer from the 80's. "I used my handy dandy Magnus tracker 5000."
"Uh…. Is that thing for real?" I asked slightly afraid of knowing the answer.
Giggling Madeline threw the device away. "You'll never know, now come down from there."
"Just one problem with that…." I gulped looking down.
"What's that?" She asked.
"I'm stuck."
"Okay today has officially been way too weird for me…." I couldn't sleep…. again, so being the type of person I am I decided to take a walk through the woods. Now it was probably stupid of me but I thought with the fact I had training from the great and awesome one Chuck Norris and with the weapon training I have been getting from Mister Knight I thought I could handle anything out here in the woods. I was wrong. Dead wrong. Because not ten minutes of walking I heard a growl. Not just any old dog like growl, I mean a deep throated 'I will kill you' type of growl.
"Oh crap…." Turning towards the source of the noise and all I could see was a pair of glowing blue eyes. For just a minute I stared at the blue eyes and it stared back at me, and I did the only thing I could. I scrambled up a tree as quick as I could just as the pair of blue eyes jumped out of the shadows. It was a wolf…a massive one and it was not happy. Luckily, I was up a tree but this was still frightening.
"Carmine? Carmine calm down!" Rushing out of the shadows was Cerise who wrapped her arms around the wolf, trying to calm the big thing, looking down my mouth dropped.
"Carmine he is a friend go and sit." The future red riding hood pointed away from my safety tree. "Magnus you can come down Carmine won't hurt- "That is when she remembered her hood was down.
"Um…. Cerise…Why do you have wolf ears?"
