Chapter 10

True problem

Zhalia's POV

Mr. Xanatos had canceled last week's lesson so Talia was happy to see us. We taught her a few new powers and had her spar with Den using only Seeker powers. She had a bit of trouble in the beginning, but she quickly adapted and won. Everyone else left after that. Owen shed his jacket, taking off his glasses. But instead coming onto the mat, he spoke.

"We're not letting her be upset. She ran away because we weren't paying attention to her or listening to her when she told us something." He frowned.

"And what are you going to do about it?" I waited.

"Right now, Mister Xanatos is trying to find a family therapist." Owen told me.

"I have a list of Foundation therapists; some of them work families as well as teens." I dug the list out of my pocket. He took it and put it in his pocket.

"Thoughtspectre!" Owen casted and disappeared.

"It's not perfect, but it'll do." Puck smiled, floating in the air. Only the most powerful of Seekers could do that. "So, what's it's gonna be? A protection spell on your boyfriend and the kids maybe?"

"How long have you known?" I asked.

"A few weeks." Owen said, landing on the ground.

Puck shook him back. "You honestly didn't think that I'd take so long to master an illusion, did you?"

"But why did you stall?" I looked at him.

"There were a few kinks I needed to work with your brand of human magic." He said.

"I'll take that protection spell." I added.

"As you wish." He smiled and snapped his fingers.

"I guess your lessons are over." I shrugged.

"Wanna go get coffee?" He asked. I knew that Puck didn't want Owen to return to work so soon.

"Sure." He got his human half's jacket and we walked out.
