Magic of a jail bird

Heather kicked a stray can as she walked down the street towards Cyclopes Lane. She couldn't get what Drake had almost done out of her head. This was practically here last chance to make something of herself and he ruined it, simply because she was trying to help.

She felt a shudder run down her back at the thought of going back to that correction center. Being treated like scum be locked up in a small room. No never again!

She clenched her teeth. She just didn't get it. She was trying to help people, like a good citizen, following orders and she's still punished for it.

"Hey Heather you ok?"

Heather froze in her tracked, feeling suddenly very vulnerable. She turned to the sound of the voice to see Luke and Nora. Luke had a worried look on his face, while Nora was just giving her a questioning look.

"Oh it's nothing." She said with a nervous laugh. "What are you and Nora doing?"

Luke didn't seem to believe her but answered her question anyway. "Nora was trying to get me to do her homework, which I am not doing!" He stated firmly.

Nora glared at him. "You are doing my homework; you don't have any say in it." She growled, her amber eyes blazing for a moment.

Luke quickly looked away from her. "S-so Heather can you please tell us what happened, you looked like you were about to murder someone."

Nora nodded in agreement. "Just tell us what happened, I'm going to find out sooner or later so just spill it already so we can get this over with."

Heather let out a frustrated growl. "Fine, I was trying to help some students in Cyclopes lane and Drake tried to have me expelled."

Luke looked shocked by this, but Nora just rolled her eyes. "What did you do this time?"

"Nothing that's just it, Nolan asked me to get help from Professor Drake, and somehow I end up getting expelled."

"You really shouldn't think much on it Heather this is Drake were talking about, he hates everybody." Luke her smiling as warmly as possible.

"I know but I just don't get, I've followed all the rule and listened to what people have told me to do, and yet I still get in trouble." She told them. "I just don't know what to do anymore I try to please people and it's just not working."

"That's the problem." Nora stated.

Both Heather and Luke looked at her in surprise. "It is?" They both said at the same time.

Nora nodded knowingly. "You've been to open, too…bland. You've become just a goody good. Trying to please everyone and in doing so pleasing know one. You let people use you and push you around way too much."

Heather frowned. "But Nora you use me all the time."

"Exactly my point, I'm the only one allowed to use you." Nora stated as if it was common sense.

"Of course." Heather said rolling her eyes.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but I think Nora may be onto something." Luke told her.

Heather raised a thin eyebrow. "How do you figure that?"

"Maybe you should try being more yourself, you can still help people, from what I've seen you're really good at it. But maybe you should bring out your inner fire show people what you really made of." Luke explained to her. "Not some push over, but a true Necromancer."

Heather thought it over for a moment and smiled. "Thanks Luke you're the best." She gave him a small hug than ran off down the street.

"Nicely done," Nora commented lazily, as she watched Heather run off.

"Thanks." Luke said with a big smile, suddenly he frowned. "…I still have to do your homework don't I?"

"Yep."

Hey people just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews, your all great. I hope this chap wasn't too cheesy or anything, and sorry if there any spelling or grammar errors this was done at… 12:35 so I can't have my beta check it.
