Chapter Two

Light strewn across the dorm room from the large window near the back of the dorm. Sloan groaned and woke up. Today was another day of the continuous grind that they called "school." He sighed when he thought about what had happened earlier that morning. Why couldn't he just have let her suffer on her own? Bartleby knows how long she had to. He remembered the spell he had to cast just to heal her. He sighed again and got up. Today was going to be a long day, he could tell already.

He glanced over at Jenna's sleeping form. For the first time since he had known her, she was relaxed and free from worry. Sleep did well for her. He turned back and went towards his dresser. He grabbed a random red robe and spelled it on. He did the same for shoes and a hat. Why should he have to waste time tugging them on and off?

He looked up at the ceiling of his dorm, and, once again, sighed. He was going to have to wake her up. He didn't particularly want to. He had to if he wanted to be stop being pestered for a roommate. He never got the reason why he needed one, but rules were rules, he couldn't be a lone wolf any longer. He remembered his last roommate and inwardly shuddered. He didn't particularly like her. He was almost glad she died, and it took a lot for him to say something like that. He could tell that Jenna wasn't going to be like her.

Before he could say anything to Jenna to wake her up. Jenna's eyes burst open. Something seemed to have panicked her. The next words were a surprise to Sloan.

"Please don't hurt me?" she had told him.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he replied, in shock. Why would she think that he was going to hurt her? If he was then he would have earlier that day when she attempted to steal his precious amulet.

"Your not?" she asked.

"No, I'm not," he stated.

He watched Jenna get up out of the bed. She seemed nervous and timid, almost like a mouse that was being watched by a predator. Sloan moved towards his nightstand and grabbed a robe. He was going to give it to her. She needed something else to wear other than the ninja pig like outfit.

He moved towards her and gave her the robe. It was a simple black robe that matched her outfit she was wearing. She spelled it on. Along with the boots she was wearing earlier that morning. It was something it looked like she knew how to do. Sloan wasn't sure how. It looked like her mistress had taught her something after all.

He saw her take off the hood she was wearing, showing her dark hair.

"Let's go to the headmaster's office," Sloan told her. "Have you made up your mind on what magic you want to practice?"

He waited a few seconds until she replied.

"I think I'll study Life magic."

He couldn't say that he wasn't surprised. Then again, everything about her surprised him. He kind of liked the surprises she brought, even though he wasn't going to admit it.

"Okay," he told her.

He moved towards the mahogany door and opened it. He gestured her to follow him. Soon enough they were out of the dormitory and the green grass greeted them, not literally of course. The rays of light fluttered to the ground. Shining ever so brightly almost blinding Sloan and Jenna.

The trees were ever so full of life. It seemed to bounce off of them. Some of them had faces and some of them didn't. Sloan couldn't help but notice that Jenna was absolutely amazed. That was when he noticed that she was staring at the great tree Bartleby. The tree was large; its branches covering everything in sight to a great white wall that had green moss growing off of it.

Sloan smiled.

"Come on, it gets better from here," he told her.

They moved through the path that led to the schools themselves. Students were coming into their classes. They moved through a gate leading to the common area.

The commons had a giant lake in the center of it, full of crystal blue water. Trees were surrounding the lake, next to a golden brick path. The duo walked on the path to the gate leading up to the headmaster's tower. The tower was large and white.

There was a door ahead of them. It was the only obstacle in their path. Sloan knocked on it and waited a couple minutes for the words of, "come in," by the headmaster's pet Gamma. Gamma was sitting on his perch, wearing his usual graduation type outfit. The owl waited patiently for them to come inside. The headmaster didn't hear the knock and Jenna, was as always, skittish. Once inside, Sloan and Jenna were greeted by the headmaster.

Sloan cleared his throat.

"Headmaster Ambrose, Jenna would like to join this fine institution as a student," Sloan then told the headmaster.

"Is this true young lady," the headmaster told Jenna.

"Yes," she answered.

"What magic do you wish to practice?" the headmaster asked.

"Life," she replied.

The headmaster chuckled. "Just sign these papers and you'll start school today, oh I almost forgot," he told her while handing her papers. "Here is your skedule."

Jenna signed the papers after reading them over Sloan wasn't sure how many times.

The headmaster then turned to Sloan.

"Do you want this girl to be your roommate?" he asked.

"Yes," Sloan answered.

"Just sign this," the headmaster told him.

Sloan did as the headmaster said. It was the smartest move he could make, it was this or a person that he didn't know slightly and no amulet. He had to live up to his bargain. He turned his documents in. Jenna turned hers in after he did.

"Good, now hurry off to your classes," the headmaster told them.

They exited the headmaster's office.

"So what's your first class?" Sloan asked Jenna.

"How to talk to animals101," she answered, looking at her skedule.

"Mine's how to control fire advanced," he told her. "Good luck."

"Thanks," she replied as they walked to the gate leading to the school and took their way to their classes.
