Chapter Five

Arthur ran his fingers along the inside of his locker door. He could still faintly feel the magic residue that was left behind from the spell. It might just be enough to track down the culprit. He held out his hand in front of the spot the spell was taped to and whispered an incantation. Strands of green webbing poked out from his palm and enclosed around a now visible red light protruding from the door. Arthur carefully bottled it and handed it to a fairy to transport it safely back to his dorm. He couldn't help but cringe from the malice that was emitted by the energy trapped in the bottle. Whatever it was that used to go on at this place before it turned into a school was not something that should be taken lightly. Arthur looked at the clock on the wall impatiently, all he had to do now is make it through his afternoon classes then he could go and inspect his new findings. At that moment the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Arthur grabbed his materials and headed towards his next class.

As Arthur sat down in his seat he caught Alfred staring at him who gave him a grin when he was caught in the act, which was only returned by the green-eyed boy with an annoyed scowl. The teacher cleared his throat to direct the students' attention to the from and began to read from a sheet of paper,

"A few announcements, as you all should know by now, the school's annual festival is coming up and since this is your homeroom class we need to decide what you will all be doing. Think of a few ideas tonight and tomorrow we will vote on them. Also, the science fair only a few days after the festival so be sure to be ready for that if you are one of those who are will be participating. Now without further ado let's get started," the teacher clapped his hands together and proceeded to start the lecture. As the clock ticked the minutes by and Alfred grew increasingly bored by the lecture he couldn't help but notice Arthur seemed really nervous about something. His emerald eyes kept glaring at the clock as if that would somehow help speed up time. Then the sudden ringing of the fire alarm quickly brought both of them to attention.

"Strange, there isn't a drill scheduled for today," noted the teacher offhandedly. As the words processed in the rest of the students' heads a few people started to fidget nervously.

"Probably someone just accidentally pulled the alarm," snickered Gilbert from the back but when a stampede of people running past the room shouted that there really was a fire everyone including him quickly fled out of the room. As Arthur made his way to the exit with the rest of the crowd he couldn't help but feel something was off.

"Arthur!" one of the fairies called out to him, "We found something important but the fire will destroy it soon!" they started flying in the direction of the fire beckoning the Brit to follow,

"What?" Arthur exclaimed as he pushed past the crowd to follow them,

"You can still save it but it's too big for us to carry!" Arthur grit his teeth,

"Just show me the way!"

When Alfred finally reached the safety of the school courtyard he couldn't help but notice something missing. As the teacher took roll that suspicion only increased,

"Where's Kirkland?" asked the teacher and at that moment Alfred's blood ran cold, does this mean he's still in there?

"Shit, I'll be right back!" he shouted and ran back into the building,

"Hey stop! It's dangerous!" the concerned shouts of his classmates faded into the background as Alfred charged deeper into the building with adrenaline pumping in his ears.

Hold on Arthur, the hero is coming to save you!

Arthur reached the place the fairies were talking about; it was a hidden alcove behind the trophy case that had fallen due to the fire. The fairies told him to be careful as he stuck his sleeve over his nose and rushed forwards into the fire. For the most part the fairies were doing a good job of keeping him from getting burned. Inside the small space was a stone tablet covered in a piece of cloth. Arthur picked it up gingerly wincing a bit when he noticed that it was hot to the touch. He turned around and was met with a wall of fire. The fairies were suddenly gone. Arthur swore under his breath and decided to risk blowing his cover,

"Water come forth to dispel the flames!" he yelled, immediately a powerful stream of water swirled around him and subdued the inferno. Very soon only wet ashes and charcoal were left of the fire. Arthur made sure his new find was still safe and started to make his way around the debris while trying to figure out how he was going to explain his way out of this one when his green eyes met a pair of blue ones that belonged to a certain American,

"Artie, what just happened?" Alfred breathed. When he got to the scene everything was burning and the flames were huge, but after he blinked all of the flames just disappeared. He could also swear he heard Arthur shout something when he got there too. Arthur quickly tried to find a good excuse,

"Er, well, I guess the sprinklers started to work don't you agree?" he chuckled weakly hoping that it was enough to dispel any suspicion.

"Oh so that was it!" Arthur internally sighed in relief at Alfred's answer for once thankful for his inability to read the atmosphere, "Come on dude, everyone's worried about you!" the shorter boy scowled at being called a dude,

"Oh, does this include you too?" he retorted without thinking. Alfred could feel his face starting to go a bit red,

"Haha! I'm just doing my job as the Hero!" Arthur smirked at the blatant dodge and followed Alfred out to where the rest of the school stood.

When the two got outside they were pulled over by the fire department and several teachers and scolded severely after being checked for injuries. When the rest of the fires were finally put out the students were instructed to head back to their dorms while the faculty discussed what to do. Arthur almost jumped with joy. He had two leads and now plenty of time to inspect them. Alfred was also very happy but for a different reason. He wasn't stupid; he knew that sprinklers couldn't put out a fire that large, that fast. He looked over at the Brit standing next to him clutching a cloth-covered slab; just who are you anyways?

It took forever but Alfred managed to beg computer and hacking whiz Eduard Von Brock to help him. After a few hours the two finally managed to hack into the schools' secure files that carried enough information to rival all the government agencies in the world combined.

"Well my job is done," Eduard said and held out his hand; Alfred gave him a twenty-dollar bill and the Estonian teen left. Alfred pulled the laptop closer to him and searched for "Arthur Kirkland." As he scanned the results his cerulean eyes expanded to the size of dinner plates,

"What the heck is this?"

Advanced search of "Arthur Kirkland" results: No matches

The Arthur Kirkland he knew did not exist in the school database. There were a few other Arthur Kirkland's but none of them were the right one. According to all the records Alfred checked, Arthur Kirkland did not exist.

Why does it feel like they're really ooc in this chapter? I promise to do better next time. btw at my school we have had a few false fire alarms from people pulling it and there are classes that don't even bother to head outside sometimes since it's really pretty cold here in the winter.

Reviews are loved!
