Hey guys, sorry for the late update. I was having some trouble with this chapter, but I got it. It's one day later, Allison, Warner, and Jaden's first day of school...

Mia POV

Allison and I walked into the hallways of Iridium High. It was her first day here.

"Well, I have to get to chemistry class soon, so let's head to your locker," I tell her. Once we get there, I see Emma.

"Oh, hey Mia, who's your friend," she asks me.

"This is Allison," I tell her. Emma waves at her and Allison silently waves back. Something isn't right.

"Anyways," I begin, "Allison has the same classes as you all day, so you don't mind showing her around, do you?" I ask Emma.

"Sure. I have to show 2 other kids around as well," she tells me. "I just have to go do something." When she walks away, Allison pulls me close.

"She's hiding something," she whispers to me. I look at her.

"Relax, Emma is perfectly harmless. It's the Panthers you have to worry about," I tell her. As if on cue, the Panthers walk in the hall. Maddie is in the middle, Sophie is standing where Katie should be, and a girl I don't recognize is in Sophie's old spot. Maddie walks over to me.

"Mia, I need you to fix my computer by the end of the day," she commands me.

"But I-" I begin, but she cuts me off.

"Thanks!" She exclaims. Sophie hands me her laptop. The girl who's in Sophie's old spot is looking at me strangely.

"Oh, by the way, this is the new Panther, Sophia Callen," Sophie tells me.

"I prefer to be called Stone," she says quietly, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"Whatever," Maddie says. "So, I hear your friends with her," she says, gesturing towards Allison.

"Yeah, we've been friends for-" I get cut off by a growl. I turn behind me to see Allison growling. Her eyes are beginning to turn gold. I see her looking toward Katie and Andi. I quickly pull her away from the Panthers. That was way too close.

Emma POV

I reach the abandoned hallway of the school so I can meet Warner and Jaden. I see them there. I quickly walk up to them.

"Okay, what are we going to do about Warner?" I ask quickly. Jaden shakes his head.

"Not much we can do. All magical authorities are going to be after him, so he has to stay away from the realm. Luckily, there are no entrances nearby," Jaden explains. He and Warner chuckle. My palms begin to get sweaty and they take note of this.

"Is something wrong?" Warner asks.

"Yea, uh, see, the thing is, there's an entrance to the magic realm down the hall," I tell them nervously.

"What?!" Jaden exclaims. "Anyone could be watching us right now! We have to get of here!"

We begin to sprint towards the exit when Desdemona and Agamemnon appear in front of us.

"Too late," they say in unison. Yup, this isn't going to end well.

Well, that's the chapter. Sorry for the late update. Erm, that's all. See ya later alligators!

Stay Sapphy!
