Returning back from the little important test I just brutally failed, I couldn't feel any worse. When I finally got a tarot prediction right, it had to be a bad prediction that came true. Not only did I fail this test, I also failed to be safe. When my hands came in contact with the cold metal doorknob, it felt like someone poured meted metal over them. I was glad that I didn't tell anyone about this as it would be shameful to tell them I failed; I couldn't stand getting embarrassed like that.
The dorm room was empty, I guess that Willow and that over girl went to the showers or probably to get some food as it as dinner time. I plunked myself on my bed and pulled out the book I borrowed from the library, I'll have to ask Willow to heal me. Today, I wasn't hungry at all, in fact I felt sick to the bone, and felt an odd urge to talk to Lexi, which was highly unusual for me. It isn't like I don't like her, it's just that I usually like to keep a distance from my relatives, even though we lived in the same house for over a year.
The first chapter of this book had no title and looked brand new despite that it was about 5 years in the library. I proceeded to reading the book under the title, '30 days to get a guy'. The first paragraph did not please me at all, the book stated that men like shorter females with a natural hair color which I was none. It later said that the dislike when females put on strong makeup. This book is terrible, the only good things about this is the boost of confidence it gave me!
After finishing the mildly interesting but helpful chapter of the book, I decided to get changed into my clothes; a purple dress that was just above my knees and a light green blouse that matched my hair color and left the room. I was not exactly sure which room she was in and a made an estimated guess I the long corridor, let's go for room number 205. After knocking and waiting for a response, a loud shriek rang out from the opposite end of the corridor. The terrifying sound sent shivers down my spine, the screaming repeated over and over again. I was afraid to look.
The sound was definitely coming from a dorm room, please, don't let it be Lexi's. The louder the sound got, the more I realized that those were shrieks of terrible pain and the only person that was able to help was me. I swallowed my fear and ran over to the door and tugged on the doorknob but it was locked. In a panic, I dialed my wand and cast a spell to unlock it.
What I found inside was definitely not what I was prepared for. Two large fangs dripping with a thick crimson liquid welcomed me inside. It's fur was red with jet black strips running across its long spine and it's paws the size of buckets with claws the size of kitchen knives. This creatures power was visible in it's bare appearance, there was no need to test it. The trail of blood which was dripping from the giant wolfs fangs led to a unconscious girl with deep gashes in her thigh and arm. The terror of the scene overwhelmed me and a loud shriek left my mouth as my knees gave way and let me drop to the carpeted floor.
The beasts golden eyes shot a me and bared it's fangs with a growl. My body was paralyzed in fear, I couldn't move for my life, my mind went blank. When finally the beast lifted it's paw up and swung it at full force aiming at me I found the strength to move, I hid behind the doorway outside of the room in attempt to dodge the attack but it caught it's claws on my leg and I gasped in pain struggling so much not to scream. I won't be able to protect that person and fight the beast at the same time, I need someone to help me.
The only person that popped in my head was Willow, she has the best and strongest healing magic I ever seen. My hand was shaking, I barely could manage to hold the thin item with both hands. "Sit ventus portare sic loquimini domino krisanda," my voice was barely audible as I cast the spell to call for Willow, but I can't wait for her, I need to do something or that beast will do something to that poor girl and I can't let her be even more harmed or she would die.
Gathering up all the strength left in my body I stood up and limped to get a peak inside the room once again to see the beast licking it's bloody paws and at the wounded unconscious girl lying and shivering on the floor beside the blood stained torn bed. My body leaned against the doorframe and I cast the strongest barrier spell I remembered around the girl to repel the beasts following attacks.
My leg wasn't able to handle my weight any longer and I fell backwards. Just as I was going to push myself back up, I saw a person with wavy black hair and a white dress come up the stairs, the person I most wanted to see, Willow. When her blue confused tired eyes made contact with my terrified red eyes I felt overjoyed and relived at how fast she arrived. I hurriedly put my finger to my lips to shush and told her to come over to me, she ran at full speed and knelt beside me. "I got the call! so what is it?" I said in a low voice and then noticed my wounded leg.
Tracing her eyes, I began to explain. "Heal me ok?" I demanded before the short explanation and she started as soon as I said so. Her magic was that of an angels, soft, warm and good. Willow was the master of light magic and there was no denying it. "Okay listen Willow, there's a beast inside that hurt a student and I want you to heal her the best you can. I'll get the beast out and fight it while you do so." Willow understood the situation and nodded in agreement. We were partners for a long time so she knw there was no point in arguing.
Once she stopped casting the spell, she looked at me dead in the eye. All the warmth left my body and I sat there feeling like an icicle. "Your going to use your ability aren't you?" she asked looking concerned and I lowered my eyes from her worried ones.
"I've got no other choice. The thing inside looks like Gévaudan to me, but it's a lot bigger than the everyday one you find in your garden so I'll need everything I've got to take it down," I said and stood up with my now healed legs. "Thank you!"
"Just stay safe," she said and also stood up. We nodded to each other and took the simple but dangerouse plan into action.
