Chapter fifteen

After leaving Leah to sleep, Charlie followed the charred carpet to see if he could catch up with Erin. Eventually the foot prints stopped outside the door to the King's Room.

"She came here?" He muttered to himself before pushing the door open.

Immediately a small ball of flames hit the wall beside him and extinguished itself,

"Go away!"

"Erin?" Charlie asked confused.

Another ball was thrown to his left,

"I said: Go away!"

Charlie dodged another ball,

"What's the going on?"

"I personally thought it was quite obvious..." A voice said from behind Charlie, Asa stepped into the room, "I mean everyone knew Charlie."

Charlie frowned,

"What are you talking about? And what are you doing here?"

"I went back to see Leah, and she told me that Erin had left a charred trail, so I followed it," Asa said, shrugging as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. "…Charlie, we all saw it except you. I think you have a few screws loose."

Charlie clenched his teeth,

"What don't I see?"

Erin hurled another ball of fire at Charlie.

"She had the hots for you," Asa said pointing at Erin, "Now I must be off." Asa left the room.

Charlie look after him in disbelief,

"Wow, he's turned really strange lately..."

Erin threw yet another ball, deliberately missing him by centimeters.

"Are you going to tell me what I've done wrong? I mean...I'm sorry I didn't notice - if what Asa said was true, but I'm not good at this stuff..."

Erin dropped herself into a chair and began banging her head softly on the table,

"It's not what you did."
"Then who?"

"It's not really anyone's fault," Erin said her tears evaporating from her hot skin, "I mean looking back you were just comforting her, like any good friend."

"Who?"

"Leah, just now."

Charlie thought back a few moments ago and realized what Erin must have seen,

"Oh! You saw that? That was nothing! Leah was just beating herself up about locking up her family."

Erin began hitting her head again,

"I know! - Now...I mean, I don't know. I just really angry."

Charlie stepped away from the door, walked over to her and went to put his arm around her, when she stopped him,

"Don't."

"Erin-"

"No, I still need to cool down." Charlie laughed. "No pun intended..." She added.

"Well, I'm sorry. I really didn't know."

Erin shook her head slowly,

"Yeah I know."

They sat in silence, until Charlie put his arm around Erin and kissed her.

"...So we were wondering if maybe you could run the school..."

Paton put down his pen and turned to face his nephew,

"How does Leah plan on keeping the Bloors locked up?"

"She has them on leashes and they won't go anywhere, I mean where would they go?"

Paton looked concerned, but shrugged it off,

"Well how hard can running a school be?" He smiled, "Although my endowment could raise some problems. And then there is my sister up at the school."

Charlie waved his hand dismissively,

"We'll use candles. She'll most probably leave if you're running the school," Charlie said hopefully.

Paton chuckled,

"Have you made the decision for me Charlie?"

Charlie grinned,

"Yeah...Pretty much."

"And you're sure Leah wants me to do the job?"

Charlie nodded,

"Yes she does."

"Well then," Paton leaned back in his chair, "I guess I'm running Bloors Academy."

Well that's it folks! Hope you liked it hugs for my reviewers
