Cody Blane and the Floating Portal
Chapter Ten
Odd Dream
Cody fell into a deep sleep right after dinner. He twisted and turned as he dreamed.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Cody realized this was the corridor of the school. He looked around and saw two students talking, or much like fighting, as their voices rose.
"You're done for-" The jet-black hair student was cut off by the other student, who had dark brown hair. Fear struck across the student with the black hair as the other student raised his wand at him.
"What's that you say, Calvin Blane?" Sneered the other student. Cody stood there, frozen.
'Calvin Blane? But.but.that's my father's name! He can't be alive! He's dead years ago!' Thought Cody, in pure shock. A feeling came over to him. He felt like hugging his dad forever and never wanting to let go. He felt like crying, he missed his dad so much. He ran to Calvin, arms open wide, only to walk through Calvin and bumping to the wall. He snorted and rubbed his nose.
"Admit it Zene. You opened it and you know it." Said Calvin, his courage gathering up. "No point denying it. Once I tell the headmaster, you'll be long gone."
"It's master to you, Blane!" He said fiercely. Calvin just rolled his eyes and Zene snarled.
"Hey Calvin!" Said a voice from behind. Cody spun around and saw a beautiful woman, walking to Calvin. She had dark brown hair, red shiny lips, and a perfect body.
"Joan! Get out of here!" Hissed Calvin. Joan looked down and saw the wand, pointing at Calvin. She was puzzled, but frightened.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She yelled frantically. Cody figured this must be his mum.
"Killeus." Said Zene warningly. Joan had a silent war in her head, whether she would let her love Calvin die or die herself. He shook her head and dove to Zene for the wand. Zene was startled. Calvin saw this a chance and punched Zene in the face just about he was going to finish saying the killing curse. Joan took Zene's wand and snapped it in two. Zene was thrown back by the punch he received.
Cody just stood in the corner, horrified, and wanting to end the dream, but somehow couldn't. Zene licked his bleeding lips and grinned evilly.
"I wouldn't so dumb to just have one wand." He said and pulled another wand in his robes and pointed it at Joan.
"Which shall I kill first?" Zene wondered, obviously liking this moment. Zene looked at Joan, who was lying on the floor. He grinned and pointed his wand at her.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Cody sat bolt up, perspiring. He breathed hard, gasping for air. He looked around and saw his roommates, sound asleep. He sighed and lied back down, his arms on the back of his head. He thought if Michelle was okay. Finally, he drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Michelle shivered as the cold wind picked up.
"How did you get here?" She asked. Tom looked up and saw her face. He couldn't resist how beautiful she was.
"Err.hello?" Interrupted Michelle. She waved her hands in front of his face. He rolled his eyes, but Michelle pretended she didn't see it.
"I'm not deaf." Said Tom.
"Right.why won't you answer my question then? She shot at him.
"I was trying to remember how I got here!" Tom lied. Michelle just threw her hands up. She had no idea how she got here and she wanted to leave so badly. Tom just shrugged. Michelle looked up at the sky, to her surprise, she didn't see any moon or stars. All she saw were green lines, like being in the Internet. Zeros and ones were rolling by the lines, now she's totally confused.
"Err.have you noticed that there are no stars or moon?" She said. Tom nodded. "How long have you been here?" She asked.
"I don't know." He said, looking at the ground, shaking his head. "Quite a long time, but I couldn't tell because there are no suns or stars. It's always like this, no day or night. You just sleep when you feel like it. You don't have to eat if you don't want to. Isn't that weird? You can't ever go hungry here." Michelle just stared at him, mouth slightly open.
"Really!!" He said. Michelle just shook her head, chuckling.
"Right." She said, not believing him. Tom just rolled his eyes and sat down beside her.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Gabe! Hey! Wait up!" Cody panted. He had been running around the corridor trying to reach Gabe. Gabe suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Hey!!" He said, waving his arm.
"Hey. I was screaming your name, didn't you hear?"
"Uh.no."
"Oh. Well anyways. I had an odd dream last night."
"Hmm.heard that before. How odd?"
"I saw my mum and dad and this other guy named Zene."
Gabe became interested.
"Oh. Do tell now." Said Gabe, giving his full attention to Cody. Cody breathed and told everything he remembered to Gabe. At the end, Gabe's mouth was open.
"How fascinating Cody. But what did Zene do?" Cody shook his head.
"I don't know." Cody said glumly.
"If Zene opened the portal years ago and Isaac opened the portal, yet again this year. They might be related." Gabe stopped and blocked Cody's way.
"Isaac? What's this thing got to do with Isaac?" Gabe said, with complete confusion on his face.
"Remember before the break? I had my camera with me. I took some pictures of Isaac on the scene. That's why I hid my camera when Isaac came. I didn't want him to know that I was spying on him." Said Cody. Gabe still confused. "Don't you get anything?!"
"I do! But I don't know why he would do such a thing." Said Gabe, pacing up and down the corridor. "Michelle didn't do anything. Plus, he's a prefect and the team captain. He's got chicks on his back already." Cody just shrugged.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Night came again. Cody twisted and turned in his sleep as another odd dream happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*
A cloaked man chuckled evilly as he smoothly walks towards to a two-story house. Inside, he could hear laughing and giggling. He rolled his eyes as he drew nearer. 'Revenge is mines Calvin Blane. You and your stupid accusations.' He thought miserably. 'Now it's time to put you and your pitiful family out of my misery, forever!' He thought and grinned. He reached the backdoor and he easily opened it with an unlocking spell. He silently walked into the dimmed kitchen, but the stairs and neared a room. The laughing and giggling grew louder. 'Say good-bye to your short, wasteful life.' He thought and kicked the door opened. The laughter and giggling stopped immediately. The cloaked man smirked and took off his hood. Pure shock was written all over Calvin and Joan's face. Joan quickly grabbed the little two-year-old and held him in her arms tight. Calvin jumped off the bed and grabbed his wand on the nightstand.
"Zene!? What are you doing here?!" Yelled Calvin. Zene just smirked and raised his wand. He whispered a killing curse. Calvin and Joan screamed as black light flashed. As the black smoke cleared away, Joan saw a motionless body on the floor. She screamed in horror and began to cry. Zene just smirked and pointed his wand at Cody. Joan screamed once more and pleaded him not to kill Cody. Joan quickly grabbed her wand, which was right next to her and muttered a spell. A red light shot out but Zene dodged it.
"Better be faster than that Joan." Said Zene, the evil smirk still on his face. Joan trembled and put her son behind her. She jumped off the bed and was muttering a spell when black light shot out of Zene's wand. There were screams and dogs were barking outside. As the smoke cleared away, another motionless body lay on the floor.
Zene grinned, his work finished. He walked to the crying baby on the bed and bent down.
"Too bad your mum and dad aren't here to shut you up!" He said nastily. "But I'm here to." He grinned and pointed his wand at Cody.
"Get away from him you dirty garbage!" Roared a voice form behind. Zene jerked around calmly as possible.
"Ah. Philippe! Just the man I wanted to get rid off for many years!" He growled.
"What did you do to Calvin and Joan!?"
"I gave them a favor."
"What favor?!"
"A favor to put them out of their miseries of course!"
"What the!? You dirty son of a gun!" Roared Philippe. He took out his wand and shot a curse at Zene. Green smoke started to form around Zene and as the smoke cleared away, nothing was left but the spirit of Zene and Zene's dead body.
"You will cause no more troubles, Zene!" Said Philippe firmly.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Cody opened his eyes. He was sweating hard and was practically crying. He looked around and noticed that some of his dorm mates were staring at him in the crack of dawn.
"Mind keeping it down?" Said Hansen. He had sandy blond hair and was covering his ears.
"S-sorry." Stuttered Cody, embarrassed. "Just had a horrible dream." Hansen just shrugged and went to bed.
Cody woke up the next morning. He stretched and yawned as light shown through the windows. He looked around and found everybody out of their beds. He scratched his head and got up. He lazily took a quick shower and got into his robes. He went down the spiral staircase and found a fairly big Christmas tree with a lot of presents and parcels on the bottom, each had a tag.
"Oi, Cody! Finally your up! Come on! We've been waiting for you to get up so we can open it together." Shouted Hansen over the crowd. He smiled, but he couldn't open his presents without Michelle. Lizzie looked up at Cody and suspected something.
"I think I'll open mines later." Said Lizzie, standing up. "When Michelle's here with us." Gabe looked up and nodded.
"Me too." Cody smiled and felt a bit better.
"I think I'm gonna get some breakfast." Cody said, rubbing his stomach with hunger. Lizzie laughed and nodded.
"Bet you 5 Gold Coins that in one month, all those filthy half-magic people would be gone." Said Ron, loud enough so that Cody could hear across the Great Lair. His loonies laughed. Cody could feel heat rising, he clenched his fist. Lizzie saw Cody's anger and stood up. She can't stop Cody from being angry.
"Shut it Ron!" She yelled, pointing her wand at him. Ron and his loonies stopped laughing and put up their wands. Cody and Gabe quickly stood up and pointed their wands at them. The other students moved away. Some cheering for Ron and his loonies, but most for Cody and the other. Professor Philippe quickly stood up from the staff table, shooting out red sparks for silence. Every quieted down.
"ENOUGH!!! YOU SIX, GO TO MY OFFICE. NOW!!" Yelled Philippe. The crowd stayed quiet and left the Great Lair as soon as possible.
"What were you thinking?! You three causing a scene. That's very odd of you." Said Philippe, pacing in his office. Ron and his loonies just stood in a corner. "And you!" Shot Philippe. "Ron, you should shut your mouth when you're not going to say something harmful. You three, detention! Tomorrow, my office, 8 o'clock sharp. Arrive late, another detention." Philippe said. Cody was shocked. He was about to say 'Whoo!! Go Phil!' but thought of better.
