Magic Academy

Chapter Three

         I stared at the cold eyes of the beast as I ignored the blood slowly making it's way out of the wound I now had. In the span of two minutes, I  had sustained several bruises and two cuts on my upper arm.
         The beast charged at me and I levitated out of the way just in time. After I got the second cut, I had been levitating away from the beast and it was exhausting using my ability for this long.
          My vision slowly turned foggy as I let out heavy steady breaths. "I'm not going down without a fight." I muttered under my breath and gathered every ounce of strength I had left.
          I levitated the beast mid air and pulled on it from both sides tearing it in half.
..................
         "Time's almost up students and so far the only submissions are from the students in cabin two." Miss Izzy said seeming unmoved by the heap of dead beasts mounted before her.
         "Cabin two and the Kirn from cabin one." She added taking a glance at Bethany and this caused cabin two members to snicker.
           At that moment, cabin one members started showing up and Miss Izzaline couldn't help but laugh. "Talk about making an entrance." She let out as Vinna added a burnt beast to the death pile.
           "I'll hand it to you first years. There has never been a set like yours...so, we're done here right?" Miss Izzaline said as she prepared to create a portal back to the academy. "Wait!" I shouted as I dragged the corpse of the beast I split in half. Each half dragged by one hand each.
            "I guess we have a last minute entry." Miss Izzaline said with a smirk, almost like she was impressed.
             All I remember is the smile she gave before I fell to the ground in exhaustion and I became unconscious.
........
              I was woken up the next morning by a loud blare which knocked me off my bed but I managed to levitate myself just in time. Ending up right above the floor. I looked up to see Miss Izzaline looking at me with a blank stare. Seeing her face that close made me groan.

'And I thought we were going to stay in today after yesterday's episode.'
           
            I looked over at my arm and realized the injuries were already healed. 'No wonder I can't stay in.' I mumbled in thought.
           "Everyone wake up and get ready." She barked, I simply blinked at her confused. 'Get ready for what?", I wondered. I was about to open my mouth when she walked out of the room and yelled "You have thirty minutes to get ready."
            It was with that statement that everyone flew out of their beds, hurrying to get ready. Some of them rushed to have their baths and I rushed after them, getting there too late, I told Vinna I was after her space in the bathroom when she was finished.
         The moment Vinna was done, I hurriedly had my bath counting down the seconds in my head to make sure I didn't take too long . I let Harley bathe in my spot after I was done and hurried to pick out my clothes for the day.
          I ended up wearing a dark blue sweater on black jean shorts with a clean pair of white sneakers. I finished off the look with my hair parted in the middle and held back to the sides with two pins. I quickly stuffed my sketch book into my black backpack and slung it over my shoulder when I heard the death alarm again.
         "For the first time, we're actually ready for Miss Izzaline's portal." Sarah said, putting on her glasses. "It's hard to be happy with the deafening alarm." Amity yelled as she blocked her ears with her palm.
           "Tell me about it.....Brie, what are you wearing?" Harley asked with one eyebrow raised. Her reaction made us turn around to see what she was talking about. My jaw dropped when I saw Brie's outfit which was a little bit over the top.
             This girl was wearing a tube top and a red flare mini skirt with ostentatious knee-high boots. She paired the outfit with big heart shaped earrings, a red choker necklace and even decorated her fingers with rings.
             She curled her blonde hair around her shoulders and used two black clips to keep her bangs to the side. She finished off the look with blood red lipstick, black eyeliner and thick mascara on her white skin.

'I don't even care about the outfit. I'm just surprised how she'd managed to wear all of that in so little time.'
              
            We all exchanged looks and cringed. Jenny on the other hand, fell on her back laughing. "Real smooth Jenny." Bailey let out blankly. "Again, what are you wearing?" Harley repeated. Brie looked at all of us confused and asked"What do you mean?"
           Unfortunately, that made Jenny laugh even louder and Vinna cleared her throat to speak "What Harley and Jenny are trying to say is..." Vinna said  before she got interrupted by Harley.
           "You look like you just came out of a fashion show with the most ridiculous clothes." Harley answered with a blank expression.
            "You do realize Miss Izzaline mustn't see you like this right?" Bethany said from her place on her bed. " You should really go change." Sarah said with a look of concern.
             Brie was making her way to her wardrobe when a portal appeared out of nowhere and started sucking us in. We all panicked and tried to stop Brie from going into it.
            Jenny split herself into three and pulled on the plant vines Brie created to stop herself from going through the portal.
           The rest of us held on to whatever our hands could find but our efforts were futile as the portal only got stronger. We almost got sucked in when it suddenly stopped.
           We all heaved sighs of relief and relaxed on our spots on the floor. "We did it, we overcame that witch's portal, so much for a powerful cabin head." Jenny said, still in the middle of catching her breath.
           In a second, a stronger portal appeared and sucked up everyone in the room.
.........
          We pretty much screamed till we fell out on the other side of the portal. "Spoke too soon Jenny." I said with a groan. Miss Izzaline walked towards us and said "Never try to fight the portal, I've been perfecting it for five years."
