I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
" No! he can't do that!" I yelled, my voice reverberated inside the room, everyone looked at me, " he is my friend, and yesterday even he was attacked alongside me !" " alongside you ?" luca repeated, " so, you were with him last night," he looked angry, and gave me an icy cold glare.
' I shouldn't have said that !' I screamed silently, "I guess we should discuss about the matter in hand first," calem said, " now that I think about it, " dawn started speaking, " is it possible that someone might have used transformation magic to put a blame on him. " Transformation magic is the one which was legal to use in the past, so if anyone wants to hide their crime, they used to transform themselves into someone else so that the blame won't come on them, but because of its use in many illegal works, it was later declared as illegal and only government officials, detectives and spies can use it.
' But these people can use it, ' since we don't know their true intentions, we can't say if they want to summon that one taboo thing or not. "They seem to be truly dangerous, if they are working in groups to gain mana of the students of powerful families, " touya said, we all were silent before the door got opened again, but this time it was the person about whom we were talking just now.
" Cheren!" I was happy that he came but as soon as I took one step forward, I saw that he wasn't at all in better shape, his hair was mess, his glasses were broken and blood was coming from his left arm, ' what in the world happened to him !?' " help," he muttered and tried coming inside, " that... that person is..." he was panting, his legs were trembling, " cheren, come sit down," touya helped him to walk to the couch." Calm down, calm down " touya said he looked at dawn and said, " dawn, water," she nodded and followed.
I turned to calem and asked, " where is first aid kit ?" he pointed to the shelf near his desk. I went and brought it, " cheren, remove your clothes, " I said, but his face again turned red, "t- Touko, do you perhaps mean to ask him to remove his blazer ?" touya asked, I nodded, 'I don't understand why he always gets red after I tell him something related to removing clothes. ' He did so and I used some antiseptics, cotton and bandages to clean the wound and patch it up. " Heal " I mumbled, so that it will heal quickly. Only one person was glaring incthe entire room and that was luca.
"Now, cheren, what exactly happened to you ?" touya asked, " I was returning to my room and was suddenly attacked by a hooded figure, and it's face was exactly like Touko, " everyone looked at me, " can you explain, how exactly did you figure out that, that person isn't Touko ?" touya asked, even I was curious.
Cheren nodded, " I can't explain it... but it is, just, I guess... a gut feeling " calem looked at me and then at dawn, " did she had any scar beneath her chin ?" dawn asked, he nodded, "yes, though it was small and it looked fresh, " dawn grinned, " yes, " she turned to touya, "same person is attacking everyone !" she said.
" How do you know that ? Did you left it ?" calem asked and she nodded, " I told you right, I had attacked that person, that means he is the same person," she concluded. ' That means the person who attacked us yesterday might also same, but...-' " but why did that person attacked you and how ? Since the barriers are also lifted, that means, no one can use magic," luca added, first time, his malice level dropped, "could it be... anti barriers spell ?" I asked, as it's name suggests, anti barriers spell was created by the emperor of vale empire, against the cameran family, my mother's family, who were the creators of barriers magic.
" Even if we concluded that, then why him ?" luca repeated, " might be because I was the eye witness in yesterday's case, I mean, yesterday Touko was attacked and I was present there, so it might be because of that, " cheren said, 'or might be because he is a half mage ?' Everyone were trying to figure out a solution or that man's true objectives but it wasn't clicking.
" Touya, what if this person had already planned it all and this is his plan to trap us here inside, so that he could collect everyone's mana, I mean even the non- mages, " I said, "how could we conclude that ?" he asked, " by assuming that he is the same person, who gave Bianca that bracelet like thing, " cheren's eyes widened, " this is just an assumption, but-" " Your assumption is right, " a very familiar voice said. ' This is the same voice !' I remember it pretty clearly. This is the same voice, which was coming from that bracelet. " I am pleased that you still remember me, Touko ," Touya gave me a concerned look, " What did you think about my offer? Will you accept it ?" The voice continued, " I refuse !" I replied, ' it is annoying! They are the reason for-' suddenly I got pulled and the place where I was standing, started burning. Touya looked at me, " are you okay ?" he asked, I nodded and got on my feet.
" So, you refuse, huh ? But you will accept it right now !" it attacked again, " barrier: protect," I yelled, ' it is still incomplete.' I tried my best to keep it up, but because of my limitations it isn't getting in it's complete form. " Touya..." I called him, my voice was getting lower and lower, " I can't... keep it... forever, run !" I yelled, " no, Touko, " he said, ' I knew it, ' I moved my one arm and said, " push, " he tried going against it, "touya,...I will manage, " I said, he looked at the fire balls which were shoot out of thin air, they were less but still powerful then my protection barrier.
" Touko, " Touya called, " I will also help you," "no ! you can't, others will also do the same if you did it, because of it we all can die !" I exclaimed, " go, inform grandpa and others about it, I am coming right behind you, " he still hesitated a bit but nodded and took everyone out of the room. It wasn't easy, ' now,' my control on the barrier was giving up and scratches started forming on my hands, ' the consequences of creating an unstable, ' I suddenly remembered those words. I closed my eyes, ' your destiny, your fate, you can't decide it from now on, ' I don't want to hear these words, ' the bonds of useless people will always drag you down, ' ' kill her !' ' I won't !'
It was getting more and more painful, but when I was about give up, I was pulled and when I opened my eyes, I heard loud voice of something crashing and saw myself out of that room.
Done ! Well , there were many complications in the first one, as it was difficult crate paragraph and one of two important paragraphs just disappeared. But now, here it is, with some modifications and all.
