Chapter 20 - Maxwell
I walked down the hall and I turned a corner and Astra was talking to Marvin, "I mean we could…" They turned and look at me and their wings flutter, "Hey Maxwell." Marvin says and smiled. "Er, Hi." I muttered and they tippedped their heads, "What's wrong?" I sighed and gave a hiss and turned my head, "What do you want Samael?" Samael looked over at me and winced slight, "I wanted to apologizing earlier about yelling at you…" I narrowed my eyes and paused before saying, "I accept your apology, but still, you didn't need to yell at me." Samael looked away sadly, "I know but that ring has a complicated past that I don't like to remember." I tipped my head and pocketed my hands, "I won't ask." Hmm… he has secrets but I won't push him… Samael smiles and looked over at me. "Thank you Maxie…" He rustles my hair gently and I looked away, "Meow." Samael chuckled and replied, "Woof." I smiled slightly and pulled him over and nuzzled him, "You're a cutie." Samael chuckled and pats me on the head, "I don't think so… You are the one who is acting like a cat." I grinned and purred, "Better? I mean I know how to purr thanks to my old man." Samael laughed and looked away, "Oh god don't put that in a same sentence." I jolted away and pushed him, "You have such a dirty mind what the heck man?!" Samael laughed, "That's what she said." I stared at him bewildered and I pushed him over and looked back at Marvin and Astra who were looking at us with weird expressions and blushed quickly before storming up the stairs a bit hot in the ears, "Immature little brat." I murmured, "Why am I still with him?"
"All Merlin and Verreaux students please report to the field for broom flight. All Magnolia and Cypress house students please report to the indoor battle room for magic dual training." Lightwood's voice sounded from the intercom and I looked up from my paper and put it into a folder and stuffed it into my messenger bag. Samael walked over to me a bit bright eyed and I knew something was off, "Hmm, what happened to you? You seem more joyful than before. Your eyes sparkle like something lit them with a rather delicate flame." Samael looked over confused and asked, "What are you talking about?" I touched his shoulder and stood up, "You're more bright eyed than being a sulker." Samael looked over and laughed, "As if…" I grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door and said, "Come, we have a magic dual and my father wants me to be the exhibition match."
"Alright! Begin!" Nova yells and my father flew at me with lightning speed and I sidestepped and he skidded to a stop and twirls around and yells a command spell and projectiles of black light flew at me and I moved my hands a few times and a barrier appeared and it protected me from my father's first attack. I swiped my hand and I shot back his own spell at him and my father countered it with my own attack. I sighed and flicked my hair out of my face and said, "Kurayami no Mondai!" A blast of black magic flew at my dad and it drills him in the face. "Oopsies!" I grinned and my father roared and flew out of the smoke and tackled me and said, "That was a cheap shot Maxwell!" I stuck my tongue out and said, "Tobu!" He shot into the air and slammed into the ceiling." Galaxy falls from the ceiling and lands on the ground on his feet and he yells, "Sebunsutasutoraiku!" Seven beams of magic in wicked fast motion flew at me and they landed their hit before I could block. I tumbled across the mat and used the momentum to cast my other spell, "Nanatsunotaizai!" Symbols appeared and the shot at my dad. He runs across the mat and counters it and sends it back at me. I smiled and yelled, "Furukaunta!" There was a high pitched noise and the magic shot twice what he shot at me back at Galaxy and there was a loud explosion. The barriers protecting the viewers vibrated and I sighed, "That is done." I turned to walk out of the barrier when I heard a laugh and I turned around and saw my dad was badly beaten up but he smiled and said, "Torippu!" I fell flat on my face and I grunted, "Hah! Funny one dad." Galaxy grins, "I win!" I snorted and he teleports me to Samael and he looked at me and said, ""I regret knowing either of you." I smiled, "Well not all of us are as perfect as you." Samael looked over and sighed. "Never said I was perfect but you two look like idiots right now." I dry spit and patted his head, "That is how Exhibition matches go Mr. Black." I patted my clothes and Galaxy materializes next to me, "Haha!" Samael looked away and sighed, "I so don't want to be here right now." I turned Samael's chin back and said, "You don't have a choice! So sit down and wait your turn to dual someone!" I pushed him down on the bench and he glared at me, "Cool it Maxie." I tapped his head with my index finger, "Now now. I hate that nickname so cut it out or I'm going to call you Sammy." Galaxy looked at us and smiled, "So cute!" Samael glared, "I don't care Maxie, I don't have a problem with that nickname." I bit my lip and thought a bit before smiling, "Sammy-Kun or Sammantha. Or how about Sami." Samael had a chilly grin and pulled me over to him. He smiled and stared at me, "Now now Maxie... What have I told you about manners. You don't mess with the Alpha." I snorted and said, "I am sure I am older than you Mr. Black so please. I am the alpha and you are not." Samael chuckled and looked at me. His eyes flickered for a moment and I thought, Oh dang. He's good. But I am sure I am older than him. Galaxy kind of put a curse on me. Samael got up and dragged me over to the edge of the room and pushed me against the wall. His fist hit the wall and it made a breaking noise. "You want to dance Maxie then very well but I ain't a girl so kindly stop the girly names." I flinched and pulled his ear, "I'm not into girly names either Mr. Black. However you are the one that started it." Samael chuckled and looked over, "Maxie isn't a girl name so poor you." I stared at him and said close to his ear, "Oh yes it is. I know a few people around the 1900's that had the name Max." I pushed him back and folded my arms, "So there. Take it and weep, Samantha." Samael didn't move and chuckled, "And how would you have been alive in the 1900s Maxie?" I folded my arms and tipped my head, "Hmm. I dunno. Ask my dad. He lived in the 1500's or so. Or was it the 1000's. I really don't know he is pretty old compared to me." Samael rolled his eyes and sighed, "I can't believe your are trying to pull my leg right now. You know what, I'm leaving see you later." Samael just walks away quietly. I tipped my head and Galaxy walks over to me and sighed, "You two. Just need a little push in the right direction! Oh I know! How about I arrange a boy's get together for you and chuck you two into a monster pit and have you battle with each other and get out of the- oh wait how about-" I put up my hand and pulled my father's cheek, "Yeah no. No thanks and I blame this immortality on you. I want to be dead." Galaxy whines, "Then I would be lonely. I mean Lightwood is with me but I really don't see her as a companion..." I gave him a blank look, "You don't see anyone as a companion besides me. I really don't want to think about the last 100 years with you. That was a disaster." He smiled and wrapped his arm around me, "But you looked so cute in that doll outfit! Oh please it was the best thing that ever hit the planet!" I shrugged him off and pushed him, "No. that was a total disaster and I looked ridiculous." He smiled and said, "I have pics!" I screamed, "How about no!"
