Chapter 7 - Xiang

I walked back to my room and sat in a corner and cried. "Why can no one just leave me alone!?" Gusts of wind whirl around my room and knocked a few things down. I felt so powerless and I hated it. I didn't want to be forced to do anything. My door quietly opened and I see a figure walk up to me. "Levi?" I looked up and sighed. "Just please go away…." Samael sighed and sat down on the floor in front of me. "Levi why are you crying?" I looked up and stopped crying. "If I knew then would I be crying?" Samael sighed and looked me in the eye. Suddenly a sharp pain hit my cheek and I looked at Samael. "Whatever problems you have then get over them right here and now." Samael got up and looked at the black box. He walked over to it and opened it. "Don't touch that!" Samael took the two pieces of the jade hairpin out and looked at me. "Why do you have these?" I looked over confused and stared at the hair pin. My head started to hurt a bit and I started seeing things. I closed my eyes in pain and winced. "I have no clue but it's been with me as long as I can remember." Samael put the two halves of the pin back in the box and grabbed me by the collar and dragged me somewhere.

Samael goes to the staff building and breaks down the door. He walks to the meeting hall and kicks the door down. "Lightwood what tricks are you trying to pull now?" The staff leaders and house leaders turn and looked at us. Headmistress Lightwood puts down the papers she was holding onto the podium in front of her and said, "What tricks are you talking about Samael?" Samael frowned and looked over. He noticed Maxwell Jared in the room as well. "I'm talking about the tricks of this one right here." He dragged me over and stared at the headmistress. Lightwood gave a confused look, "I brought him to this school because he seemed like a wizard." Samael chuckled for a bit. "Do you think I'm dumb Lightwood. He looks like a certain Staff dorm leader." She frowns, "What one?" Samael frowned and looked at the headmistress. "The only one who has black hair and golden eyes." Headmistress Lightwood looked shocked, "Now that you said that he does." Samael rolled his eyes and asked. "Where is the jade hairpin that Xiang has with him?" Headmaster Lightwood smiles, "He gave it to Levi!" Samael frowned and looked at the Headmistress. "Both you and I both know that ain't true. If Xiang was really here then why is there an illusion of him here. Everyone knows that before he left he stayed in his room for weeks not eating and his powers were berserking. You allowed him to leave. Now this Xiang came back and suddenly seems fine but doesn't looked like he had been starving for weeks. Can you explain that. Nor does he act in his usual manner." I looked over and hissed at Samael. "What are you trying to do?" Samael looked back and added. "Also when has Levi and Xiang ever been in contact before?" Headmistress Lightwood looked at me, "When he was a kid." Samael frowned and looked over at me. "Is that true?" I shook my head in a no position. "Never." Lightwood sighed, "You were very young Levi." Samael frowned and looked over. "Why would Xiang give one of his powers to this ignorant boy?" Lightwood shrugs, "Dunno it's up to him." She narrowed her eyes, "Now if you mind, leave, I need to finish this with the dorm presidents and staff leaders." Xiang looked at us and smiled, "Hello Levi!" I looked over at a familiar face and my head starts to hurt. I fall to the ground in pain.

My head pulses and memories come back. I got up and quietly looked at Samael. "Leave Samael… it's of no concern anymore." My golden eyes were slightly dulled down. "Lightwood, I miss trusted you. The illusion looks disgusting get rid of it. You want me to make up for my mistakes then I won't follow through. I didn't do nothing wrong but you still keep trying to pull people together but it won't always work." Lightwood looked at me with a sad face, "You agreed to it." She looks at Jared and he tips his head and he said, "Like I said before, you are disgraceful Xiang." I looked away and frowned. "I don't need to hear that from you. You only can blame yourself for my now cold stone heart. I hate love it's a disgusting thing nor am I ever going to be influenced by it again." Jared snorted, "I don't even know you Xiang." He stood up and Maxwell place his hand on Jared and they teleported to me and he tilts my head so we looked each other in the eyes. He gently kissed me, and I moved back and glared. "Don't touch me. You don't have the right to." Jared smiles, "That is my line, don't steal it from me." He nods to Maxwell and they leave. I glared at them leaving. "I don't want you anywhere near me." I looked away at stared at Lightwood. "We can drop the act can't we?" I walked away and Samael followed me.
