Here's chapter 3. Has a fair dose of humor!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"How long are we going to hide here?" Jay hissed.
"Shh, Jay," Carlos murmured. "Suits of armor don't talk!"
"Well, except for that one time…" Jay said before trailing off as a laugh bubbled out of his throat.
"Oh, yeah," Carlos smiled before returning to a breathy whisper, "but generally speaking, they don't talk!"
Jay and Carlos were both hiding in suits of armor in the hallway outside of Lycan's room (you do not want to know how long it took them to get into those!), and they were watching his dorm room door through the small holes in the helmets.
The door creaked open, and Lycan crept down the hall until he arrived at the corner, where he peaked around the wall before sliding around it and blending in with the shadows.
"Okay, let's go!" a voice murmured from beside Carlos, making him jump. Luckily, the person caught him before he could fall over and create a ruckus they would hear all the way on the Isle of the Lost.
"Mal?" he muttered, glancing at the empty air. "Where are you?"
"I'm right here! I cast an Invisibility spell on myself," she answered before appearing out of thin air.
"You couldn't have thought to do that to us?" Jay mumbled.
Mal shrugged. "I guess I could have, but it was funny seeing you try to get all dressed up. Anyway, hurry! We don't want to lose him!"
"We're going to need a second to get out of these," Carlos pointed out.
Mal waved her hand, and their suits of armor unassembled (I do not know if that is a word, but we're going to pretend it is), and waves of magic caught the metal pieces before they could clatter to the floor. They gently floated to the marble, where they lay in a collection of pieces.
"Come on," she commanded before running after Lycan.
The boys shrugged, rolling their eyes, before following.
The three of them crept along the walls, following Lycan at a good distance, and soon enough, they found themselves hiding in the bushes outside of the school.
"Thorns!" Carlos yelped, quietly, holding a hand over the bleeding cut on his upper arm.
"Shh!" Mal and Jay hissed before they continued to follow Lycan off of the grounds and into the woods a short distance away.
The trio strolled after Lycan, hiding behind trees and bushes and trying not to breathe (Lycan's werewolf hearing picked up on the slightest noise) until Lycan suddenly stopped in front of a cabin.
The cabin was so run down, it looked like it might collapse if a single feather landed on the roof. The roof was sagging, and the windows were broken in some places; the walls were covered with chipped and faded paint, and a single touch to the wood would surely give you a dozen splinters.
Lycan slipped in through the door, and Mal texted the location to Evie.
"Where are we going?" Lonnie asked.
"It's a surprise," Jane told her as the daughter of Fairy Godmother, along with Evie, led Lonnie into the woods just off the grounds of Aurodan Prep.
"Don't worry; it isn't far," Evie assured her. "And after we show you, you can go straight back to bed."
"Good. Fencing left me exhausted," Lonnie muttered as she forced herself to walk with her aching legs.
"We should be there within the next five minutes," Evie told her.
Sure enough, three minutes and forty-seven seconds later, the girls arrived at the run down cabin, where Jay, Carlos, and Mal were hiding beneath the front window sill.
"What is going on?" Lonnie demanded, and she glanced through the window to see a familiar teenage boy standing in the center of the room. "Is that Lycan? What is-"
"Shh," Mal murmured. "We're showing you this because you need to know, but I need you to keep an open mind."
"Okay… but what-" Lonnie began.
Jay pointed at Lycan, and she glanced through the window just as the full moon reach its highest point in the sky. Her eyes widened…
An ear splitting howl pierced the once quiet night.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry it was a bit short, but next chapter will have some action in it. Bye!
