Chapter 15

"Wow it's amazing how long I can hold my breath now." Ash used telepathy to say as him, Lewis, Will, Emma, Cleo, Bella and Rikki were out swimming. "Yeah, and the reefs are amazing." Lewis said "I hope Jake's gonna be okay at computer sciences class while we're all out here swimming. Somehow swimming just doesn't seem the same without him." Rikki said then Emma said "Somebody's in love. Don't worry Rikki. Jake is the strongest merperson in our group. Besides I doubt that witch will attack Jake out in public, especially not in the middle of class." "I know but knowing doesn't make me any less worried." Rikki replied "Don't worry Rikki I'm sure he'll be fine." Cleo said "Well I'd better get going. It's almost 10. My class with Jake will be starting soon." Rikki said "Wait Rikki. We should go with you." Bella said and they all swam back to Lewis's secret fishing spot and dried off and walked to the college and went to have brunch with Jake in the cafeteria. Amelia had been in the cafeteria and had enchanted the doorways into the cafeteria so that and merpeople who walked into the cafeteria would instead be teleported to the middle of the Australian outback where she would be lying in wait to attack. She had chosen a location where there were no rivers streams or lakes close enough for the merpeople to use their powers on it but little did she know that Ash, Lewis, Will, Rikki, Cleo and Jake had been carrying bottles of water small enough to fit in their pockets with them and would use their abilities to expand the amount of water in the bottles as they took water out to use. "Whoa! How'd we get here?" Jake asked "I have no idea" Rikki said "I brought you here and now I'm going to kill you because she killed my boyfriend." Amelia said then pointed at Emma and everybody got into fighting stances and Amelias hands lit up with purple flames and she threw a massive fireball at the group and everybody dispersed and Jake threw a lightning bolt at her and she dodged it by using her air ability to fly then Jake followed suit and took off like a rocket and his fist lit up with blue flames and Amelia dodged off to the side and hit him with a gust of air that sent him nose-diving to the ground but just as he was about to hit the ground he sent a continuous gust from both his hands which slowed his descent so he landed as light as a feather lewis tossed his own lightning bolt at the witch and she threw a red lightning bolt at his bolt and they collided and sent sparks all over the place but while she was distracted Rikki had frozen the water in the air above the with and had baseball sized hail rain down on her and she landed on the ground but sprained her foot then Jakes right hand lit up with blue flame and he charged with a flaming open hand aimed at her face but stopped just short of her face and said "If Emma had known that the wolf attacking those two that night she would've run first but then you're boyfriend probably woulda run after them and she still would've had to kill him. It was self defense and she never had any idea what she'd done until you attacked Cleo the next day. She never meant any harm and everything we've done up till now has been self defense. You use evil magic and you're lucky to still be alive right now. Stop attacking us or else next time we will kill you." and he walked away leaving her stunned then she said "Wait. My magic is only as evil as my intentions and it shows in the color of my magic. It's why my lightning was red. I won't bother you again." and she held both hands up and showed blue lightning arcing between her finger and said "I'll send you back now. Bye." then she waved her hand and they were back at the cafeteria just in time for Rake and Rikkis business economics class.
