"This school reeks of sweat..!"
Jinx lifted her eyes from her book to glance over to Angel who happens to be having a misfortunate day. She believes hanging around the She-devil will balance out her bad luck and gain more luck...the irony.
"Now that you mention it, the scent did magically appear out of nowhere."
Jinx pinched her nostrils in disgust. Her eyes watered as it reeked like the boy's locker room. Seriously, people had to wear a gas mask if they were to walk by the hellish room. If this odor lingers for an hour, everyone will either drop out of school or complain to the Mistress.
"Well, I'm off to the get a snack and hopefully the odor doesn't follow me around."
Angel flew silently through the halls and gave Jinx a final goodbye before disappearing around the corner. Jinx immediately took her eyes back to her book titled: "Charms and Treasure", it mostly stated magic and lucky items. To most people it's fiction but Jinx believed strongly of these so called good luck charms. Like how shaping her hair like horse shoe could lighten up her chaotic nature, and drawing...unicorns is a good thing. Suddenly, A low rumble shook the floor of the halls, as if a major earthquake was about to unfold. The witch came to a halt hearing the faint thunder of feet stomping become louder. It echoed through out the academy, so it was hard to tell where it's coming from. She could feel the floor vibrate frequently, then the hoarse of footsteps was coming around the corner. Then a southern accent hollered from behind it.
"Comin' through! Make way for the billy-pede!"
Jinx face seemed to paled as she witness a hoard of Billy Numerous far the eye can see. She would wonder where their destination is or why their causing such chaos, but her life was important at the moment. Thinking quick she entered a near by dorm. who was it? It didn't matter at the moment either. Upon entering, the Billy's zoomed past her like a powerful train. She kept the door wide open as she let out a relieved sigh and leaned against it. The noise drifted away as the hoard of Billy's continued to who-knows-where.
"Uh..you okay, Jinx?"
A familiar voice weakly spoke. The witch glanced to her right to see her friend, Seemore who was shaken up by her sudden appearance. He looked like he was reading or studying. The cyclops sat comfortably on his single bed.
"Sorry, is this your room?"
"What was your first clue?"
"Don't get smart with me. I suppose I don't have to explain why I'm here.."
"From the sound of it, Billy has been rampaging towards the cafeteria?"
Seemore slightly chuckled at the thought of the poor students who were unlucky to be in the way. Jinx quirked an eyebrow at him, and casually walked right into his room.
"Are you and that hill-billy friends already?"
"Huh? Oh, well we're acquainted.."
The cyclops answered nervously as Jinx took a seat next to him. She was quite interested in what Seemore gots to say about Billy numerous. He won't be expecting her to leave so soon.
"Hmm, is there some certain day they crowd into the cafeteria?"
"Well...he said their serving something special today, and he wants to be the first one there...plus, I think he just wants to cause trouble.."
Jinx hummed suspiciously at herself, she wondered if Billy even cared if he was friends with anyone. He seemed more like he's own person, and very greedy. She didn't care either way, just as long as he listens to her.
"Typical...one day he might even find it.."
"That's what I'm afraid of. He picks on other people that are larger than him."
"That so?"
Her eyes seemed to widen at the new bits of information. She didn't fail to see the Cyclops avert his eye from her ever since she's been in his room. Is this the first time he's been with a girl alone...in his own space? Jinx never experienced such a thing before, every student knows where she sleeps but doesn't dare to stop by.
"Sorry, am I bothering you?"
"N-No, its alright. I'll admit I never had someone enter my dorm..."
"I'm guessing since I'm a girl it's a new level for you.."
"What does that mean?!"
"What it sounds like..."
Jinx giggled at his flushed cheeks, she loved messing with him. Her gaze went around the room, noticing the neatness, and how equally it's crowded. Seemore noticed her distant stare, and followed her gaze to his table where his tools and books were.
"Are you handy when it comes to gadgets and machines?"
The cyclops blinked at her blunt question. Jinx took a glance back at him, and watched him avert his eye towards his work table.
"Well, more like when it comes to fixing my things."
"...Like your helmet?"
"I rarely do"
"...can't you take that helmet off?"
Jinx noticed Seemore's pause in response, she flashed a frown, and worried if she stepped on a land-mind. She noticed he silenced his own breathing. Her gaze fell down and landed on his closed fist. She felt her heart strings tug, and quickly dropped the subject.
"...never mind. It's obvious that your uncomfortable with that.."
Yet another odd silence grew between them. Jinx mentally cursed herself for asking such a worthless question once again! She quietly stood up, and sighed.
"...I think I should get to the cafeteria. I'm sorry for disturbing you.."
"Oh, no its okay. I'm also sorry for not saying anything.."
"Don't be. It's your choice if you didn't want to. Anyway, bye.."
She didn't wait for him to speak as her legs carried her out of the tension that clogged the space in Seemore's room. Jinx guilt stab her chest for bringing up what it seemed like a fragile subject. Though her mind danced around the thought of his behavior just now.
(Looks like he doesn't want to tell me something. I should really mind my own business...)
Her feet traveled a good distance but her mind was distracted that Jinx didn't know where she was going. Suddenly her face brushed up against soft yet feathery texture. The witch reeled back, finally taking notice of the gigantic white wings. She knew exactly who it was but waited for her to turn around, and soon saw the girls blank golden eyes glance behind her.
"Oh, jinx."
"Sorry about that, Angel..."
Jinx quickly apologized before taking in the scene around them. First, she took notice of Angels uneasy glimpse in her bright eyes, her wings were lightly flapping as if were ready to take off. Second, was her damaged body, her sliver helmet had many dents. And finally, the circle of Billy Numerous surrounding them like prey. Jinx can read their faces, they were looking for trouble alright. It was in those mischievous smiles spread across their faces.
"Look like another one got in the rat trap, eh fellas?"
All Billy's nodded at once, making their number seem intimidating. Jinx glanced back at Angel who was clearly freaking out at this point. She huffed in annoyance as taking a big step forward. Removing her shades with move movement, and crossed her arms.
"What's going on here, Billy Numerous?"
"Ya ain't smart, huh? What do it look like, Pinky?"
"Clearly picking on poor Angel here, but I'm not sure why."
"It ain't your business. Dog pile!"
He hollered as all at once the clone leap toward to bury them, But Jinx wasn't having that. Her eyes glowed as she quickly built up energy, then a burst of a shockwave threw the bodies nearby backwards with great force. (Including Angel)
She heard bodies of the Billy's around her hit the hard floor and disappeared as she got a direct hit on the real one. Billy painfully laid on his aching back that was pressed his back onto the steel wall at the moment, but he didn't fail to see the she-Devils shadow creeping into sight and casted an eery darkness on him. He showed fear and his prideful grin turned into a gutless frown.
"Too bad for you, your in my web now..."
-hours later
Another one of her teammates were severely injured by her once again, and Jinx got punished for almost killing Billy. She spent a week in her room, got little servings of food, and not allowed to step a foot outside. What was she? A prisoner in her own room? Well, that was the point.
Jinx made a mental note to give her prey a little mercy next time.
Billy seemed like he was the type to get back at someone but she saw his fear through those shades of his. Jinx knew with a little force in her orders; he'll obey. The pink sorceress tested this many times, he was wrapped around her finger. Who knew just one good beating could get a man to listen to a women
