I know you guys are confused about the name switch in the last chapter, but some of it will be explained eventually. Some of it in the flashback of the wizards.
Melody's POV
"And that, class, is how you create a level 5 love potion," Professor Palladium said.
I silently sighed to myself, "We already know this."
Ruby: "I know right?"
Thorne: "I really don't feel like going through the rest of the day, I'm gonna pass out."
Tia: "I'm not catching you."
Thorne: "Jerk."
"Hey?" the girl next to me whispered.
"What?" I whispered back.
"You're Duman's daughter right?"
I scrunched my eyebrows, "Yeah, what of it?"
"Nothing, I just think it's really cool to be related to someone so powerful."
My eyes widened as the bell rang, "Finally someone who thinks about their power instead of what they are." I held out my hand, "Melody, call me Mel."
She giggled as she shook it, "Melanie, call me Mel too." I laughed as I noticed Thorne talking to someone else too and they started to laugh.
"Really? What a coincidence," I heard Thorne say.
I shook it off, "Look, I gotta go," I handed her a slip of paper, "but you can text me later, kay?" She nodded as she took the paper and I walked up to Professor Palladium's desk.
He looked up at me, "Yes Melody, what is it?"
I put an elbow on his shoulder, "I'm getting jittery. I need to go to Red Fountain, now."
He raised his eyebrow to me, "You know you can't go alone."
"My cousins will be with me," he looked at me uncertainly.
He eventually gave in though. No one can resist the golden eyes of Melody Musel Muse. "All right, go get your things and you can go. Thorne! Tia! Ruby! Come here."
My cousins raised an eyebrow, but reluctantly came at his command, "Red Fountain time. Get your gym clothes and be on your way."
The wizards gather in one room to keep track of the necklaces, "Musel's got someone," Gantlos said as they looked at the screen.
As Melody put her elbow on Palladium's shoulder, it ticked the sensors on the amethyst, "Well?" Duman asked impatiently.
"One of their professors: Palladium," a second later, it went black, "Not him."
All of the wizards slowly zoned out into a flashback:
Bloom, Flora, Tecna, and Musa were all asleep, so the wizards had to watch the kids until they woke up. In their disgust, the baby girls were sleeping peacefully in their blankets. They had a plan, involving their four matured friends.
"I don't understand why they love these little...things anyway," Anagan said as he looked at his daughter in pure hatred.
"Just wait, Anagan," one of them said as he looked at her as well, "As soon as Rosen's 18, I'll take her away and you'll never have to see her again."
"Same," another one said to Duman, "I'll gladly take..."
"Musel."
"right, Musel off your hands."
The other two nodded to Ogron and Gantlos as they looked into their futures to see what they would look like and smirked, "I don't understand how someone so beautiful is related to you, Gantlos."
Gantlos scoffed, "Then explain how I got married with two kids, Aaron."
He shrugged, "Digati's the oldest?" Gantlos nodded.
The last one looked at the baby red-head, "You sure the wife won't mind?"
"No, but we'll work something out eventually."
Suddenly, all four of them woke up and when they saw their fathers, they only stared at them, but when they saw the other strangers, they narrowed their eyes.
"Look at 'er," one said as Melody looked at him and he put his finger on her mouth, "Such beauty at a young age."
The 1 month old baby growled and, suddenly, very sharp teeth grew and bit his finger. He hissed but soon smirked, "Ah, she likes me. Already eating out of the palm of my hand."
Duman smirked as Melody started crying, "Good thing you four have invisibility spells on. Once they start crying, the only ones that stop them are their mothers."
Soon, the other seven started as well and they could all hear footsteps coming from the hallway. Bloom came in first running her hand through her hair, then Musa, then Tecna, then Flora.
...
"Sleeping beauty has awoken," Duman smirked at his wife as she glared at him.
"Shut up." She walked over to the crib with her two children and finally cracked a smile, but it quickly disappeared when she turned back to Duman.
"I'm not gonna get any sleep unless you keep them quiet, Duman. You know I've been really tired since they were born." Duman rubbed her shoulders and smirked.
"And plenty to come in the future," she smacked them away and looked down at them once again.
They immediately stopped crying and Musa picked up the little pink baby, "Melody? Is daddy being dumb again?" she said baby-ish.
"Hey!"
Melody smiled, revealing the sharp teeth, "Is that blood?"
Duman looked and his eyes widened as he swept the baby girl away from her, "Fruit punch. She got bored with milk."
Musa raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "So you fed them?"
Duman nodded as Musa picked up the other baby and pushed off one of her nightgown straps. Duman's eyes watched greedily as she breast-fed him, "No you didn't."
...
Anagan and Flora were talking about how to keep them under control, "You have to at least take care of them you idiot!" Sort of.
"I can't get a bit of sleep, Anagan. Fix it," Flora's tired eyes shut for a moment, "Who's been in here?"
Anagan's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"
"I can sense that someone's been in Thorne's mind. Future seeing." Flora crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at her husband.
Anagan raised his hands, "No one's been in here besides us, darling. I swear it."
Flora sighed as she picked up her babies, "Did you feed them?"
"No," Anagan raised his eyebrow, "That's the woman's job." Flora's eye started to twitch as she inched towards her husband slowly.
...
Tecna wordlessly walked over to her children and looked at them strangely, "Where's Len?"
Gantlos looked in the crib and only saw, to his disgust, his daughter. Tecna looked around the floor and saw her son looking up in the air outside of his crib.
"Now how did you get out of there?" she walked around, inches away from an invisible man, and picked up Len as he looked behind her.
"I thought you said you'd watch them and make sure I get my rest?" Tecna said as she leaned over and placed him next to his sister once again.
"I had it under conrtol-"
"No you didn't, Gantlos. Don't lie to me."
Gantlos simply shrugged wordlessly, "Okay, I didn't feed them."
...
Bloom kneeled down next to the crib holding her two infants, "Now why are you crying my little babies?"
They both immediately stopped crying and looked at their mother, "Much better," Ogron said as he sighed, "I'm getting a headache from it."
Bloom froze and turned to him slowly and angrily, "You're getting a headache?" Ogron nodded.
Bloom's eyes narrowed, "Did you get a headache while you carried them both for 9 months? Oh wait, that was me."
She looked down and noticed her babies watching the air next to her, "What? Is someone invisible?" she laughed light-heartily as Ogron stiffened.
She waved her hand in the empty space and hit someone, "It's just daddy," not looking next to her, she reached up and kissed "Ogron" passionately.
"Try to keep Wick under control. I'll take Ruby," she picked up the small baby and headed towards the door. Flora following with Thorne and Leif, Tecna following with Tia, and Musa following with Max and Melody.
When they all left, Ogron grabbed the man's shirt, "Kiss my wife again and we'll have a little problem, Andrew."
Andrew, Aaron, Alex, and Adam regained their forms and Andrew put up his hands, "She kissed me, Ogron. Don't take it the wrong way."
He let him go, "But she is pretty good. Maybe I should trade your daughter for your wife instead." Ogron glared at him, "Or not."
"Just remember, we take care of them until 18; then they're all yours," Gantlos said as they each shook hands with one of the men.
"No changing. It's set. So it is said, so it shall be," Aaron said as they disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
End Flashback:
The wizards remember each and every word that afternoon, "What were we thinking?" Duman asked himself. The wizards only shook their heads.
"Okay, boys! Were gonna do an obstacle course for the first day. It will show every skill that will be required this year, besides flying of course," Codatorta added the last part silently.
He turned to the boys, "When are your," he shuddered, "sisters getting here?"
Len smirked, "When they feel like it."
All of the boys were smirking and whispering about there being girls in Red Fountain, "Listen up boys!"
They all looked at Codatorta, "Their mothers have already informed me that they may be some what of a distraction. If I see anyone fall behind because of how these girls look, they're not coming back. Is that clear!?"
"Yes CODATORTA!"
"They're coming," Max said as he briefly sniffed the air and smirked, "Melody smells like death."
The four boys laughed as their sisters walked through the arena's doors wearing sweats and tight T-shirts; all of them being every boy's (except Codatorta and their brothers) eyes, the girls were walking in slow motion.
"What are you looking at?" Melody asked snidely as a bunch of sophomores looked at her chest.
She spotted Rivet and smirked as she kissed him briefly, "Are we interrupting anything?"
He shook his head dumbly as Thorne sighed, "You're Codatorta, right?" Codatorta nodded his head as she handed him a note, "From Headmistress Faragonda."
Codatorta, be easy with the girls. They each have a short temper, even the sweet one. I'm sure you'll learn them easily.
~Headmistress Faragonda.
He nodded as he looked at them, "Show me what you've got," he said when he looked at Thorne.
"Wanna see me run from that dragon and back?" he waved his hand and there was a gust of wind, "Wanna see me do it again?" (A/N: Spongebob moment)
He raised his eyebrow, "Super speed, eh? What about you three?"
"Strength."
"Transforming."
"Converting attacks into energy."
He looked at them with an eyebrow raised, "Okay, so you can do push-ups no problem?"
Tia smirked, "I do push-ups in my sleep."
"Not the girly kind." The boys all laughed and Tia glared at them.
"No, real push-ups," she got the ground and started to do one-armed push-ups, making Codatorta take back his comment.
"What about you?" he looked at Melody.
She raised an eyebrow, "Transforming, flexibility-"
"Both of you, do a few flips," Codatorta said referring to Ruby and Melody.
They shrugged and did multiple flips in sync with each other and ended with their legs being raised in the air, "Good enough?" Ruby said as they walked back over.
All of the boys stood their with O's on their mouths, but Codatorta, their brothers, their boyfriends, and their guy friends were too impressed.
"At least I don't have to worry about you four falling behind," Codatorta muttered. "Obstacles courses too hard for you four?"
"No," Thorne said as she looked at the obstacle course that had spikes, cushions, balance beams, etc..., "Doesn't this look like the obstacle course we did when we were 7?"
The girls and their brothers nodded, "I did this one without looking!" Melody said as she walked up to it.
She jumped onto the starting platform, "On my mark, get set, go!" Codatorta counted her off and she bolted, doing flips to avoid sharp objects. She moved swiftly through the fire rings and did cartwheels across the balance beams. She jumped up and landed on her feet with her hands in the air.
"Ta-da?" Codatorta stopped his stopwatch and looked at it surprised, "38 seconds?"
Ha! Codatorta got owned in his own obstacle course. I hope you guys liked the flashback and Melody owning the boys in their own game. PLZ REVIEW
