Chapter 7

Jakia put on her baggiest pair of pajamas to hide the fact that she was still wearing her clothes.

"Hey Kia, what did Manfred want anyways?" asked Olivia as Jakia walked out of the bathroom to her bed.

"Just to abuse his powers," Jakia commented with a grimace.

"Well, you should be careful, he seems to be taking a liking to you," said Emma quietly, "He's not someone to play with Kia, he has a lot of power around here."

Kia smiled at her friends, "I know, I really do. It's just that he's a creep,"

"Yea, just remember to watch yourself around him," said Olivia.

"I know I will," said Jakia smiling sweetly at her friends, "I mean really, you don't think I would get into trouble intentionally."

Olivia and Emma laughed as they got into bed and a white hand snaked into the door and turned off the lights. Jakia stared up at the ceiling waiting for the clock to strike eleven.

"You need to leave Lysander alone" she thought to herself, "He could get into a lot of trouble talking to you, especially if you continue disrespecting Manfred like that." Even as she thought this through she knew it wouldn't work. Lysander would never go for it, he would tell her that he could protect himself and Lord knows she hoped he could, and besides that she did want him to leave her alone she loved him. She signed to herself as she heard the clock strike for ten thirty it was almost time now.

Lysander walked down the dark halls of Bloors, he hadn't wanted to risk carrying a flashlight, so he had to feel his way to the art gallery. He arrived in the gallery to find not Jakia, but Manfred pacing the length of the floor. Surprised Lysander stepped backwards quickly, nearly tripping over Jakia, who had snuck up behind him. He stopped himself just short of speaking before Jakia placed her hand over his mouth.

"What's Manfred doing in here," Lysander thought locking eyes with her

"I don't know exactly, let's wait and see what he's doing," Jakia transmitted to him silently.

Manfred murmured softly to himself as he continued to pace, he had combed his long hair back into a neat ponytail and he looked almost handsome in the soft moonlight. Just then Lysander heard footsteps as someone entered the gallery from the side door. A tall slim girl with long brown, and light blue eyes walked into the room.

"Hello, Manfred," she said quietly as she entered the room.

"Hello, Lea", Manfred said clearing his throat nervously, "I uh, they're not here. I was sure that they would er meet here, but I…" his voice faded off at a glare from the girl.

"Well it appears to me, you were wrong," the girl said in a soft icy voice. "You know I hate when people give me incorrect information Manfred. So the next time you call me make sure they're both actually here, especially the little slut," she finished coldly.

Jakia and Lysander listened silently outside the door wondering what exactly was going on in there.

"I-I'm sorry, I'll do better next time," Manfred stuttered nervously, "I'll get them no problem".

"For your sake I hope so," Lea said before disappearing into thin air.

Lysander let out an involuntary gasp that caused Manfred, Lysander pushed Jakia quickly into the shadows and stepped put so that Manfred could see him.

"Sage! What are you doing out of bed, that's a detention," Manfred said loudly.

"You shouldn't play with fire, Manfred," Lysander said barely louder than a whisper.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Manfred asking baring his teeth.

"Lea's trouble, even for you, and she'll step on you to get to me," Lysander said softly.

"I'm not the one that you should be warning. Maybe you need to tell Jakia about Lea, I know you haven't told her, have you?" he asked with a sneer.

"She knows everything she needs to," said softly.

"If you say so, Sage, but I'm sure she would disagree if she were hear," Manfred said peering at the corner where Jakia hid, "but it's much to late for a third year like yourself to be out. Get to bed now," Manfred added as he strolled out of the room.

Lysander walked slowly to the corner where Jakia, hid we have to talk," he said softly.

Jakia nodded slowly, "Not today," she said simply. She kissed him on the cheek and left the room quickly.

(O.k sorry it took so long to update, but I just haven't had time, sorry. I'll try update again soon, so we can all find out some of Lysander's secrets. Reviews are always welcome.)
