Crystal's PoV

I woke up in the middle of the night by a door opening outside. I went out to check it and I saw Alex's room open but no lights. I took a peek and saw only Gella inside. Now I heard rushing footsteps and the front door opening. I decided to follow and when I went outside. I saw Alex running to what I think is the library. I decided to follow her but sneak around. She went inside the library and I followed inside. She went to the table at the back. Gust was sitting on the table and it seems he's been waiting for her. I hid behind a bookshelf.

"So knucklehead, why do you want me to be here, at the middle of the night and interrupt my sleep"-Alex

"I dont wanna interrupt your beauty rest princess but there was someone who would want to talk to you"-Gust

A man emerged from the shadows. He was wearing a dark purple suit with a black bow. He had a beard, black empty eyes and red hair.

"Please call me Mr. Gee"-Mr. Gee

"What do you want"-Alex

"I want you to help me takeover this school by you helping Gust cause mayhem and make it look like the current board is doing a bad job and then I'll swoop in and take the role as president then you stop"-Mr. Gee

"What's in it for me"-Alex

"Well, how about manners"-Gust

"Quiet Gust, we don't want our little companion to run off. We have to offer is you having a luxurious life in this school. The future you want. Everything you want. Unlike your mother, who trade royalty for love"-Mr. Gee

"I know what kind of stupid decision that was"-Alex

"So will you help me or not"-Mr. Gee

"I'm in"-Alex

"*Gasp*"-Me

I believe I gasped so loud, they could hear me.

"Who's there?"-Mr. Gee

Am I right or am I right?
I started to back off when suddenly a wind wall was infront of me.

"Ah ah ah no running"-Gust

"Shoot"-Me

"Well well well you followed me, what a stupid idea of yours"-Alex

"We'll spare your life if you join us, if not, well you know the consequences"-Mr. Gee

"Never"-Me

"Well then"-Mr. Gee

His hand started to glow so I used my power.

"Huh? Why is my soul glowing"-Mr. Gee

Suddenly they all collapsed and the wall was down. I made a run for it and when I got out, I bumped into Uncle Nexus and made him go to the library. Once we got there, they were gone.

"I'm sure they're here"-Me

"Maybe it's just a hallucination but I'll still look into it. How about you go back to bed, it's gonna be a rough day tomorrow since it's the day before the first day. You have to get ready"-Uncle

"Ok"-Me

I ran back to the dorm, rushed to my room and closed the door behind me. I went back to sleep and woke up the next morning. I avoided Alex as much as possible. I have a bad feeling about her knowing what she's up to. I went ahead and talked to Gella

"Umm...Gella"-Me

"Yes"-Gella

"We need to talk"-Me

"Come seat here"-Gella

I went ahead and sat down on her bed side.

"I think you should avoid Alex"-Me

"Why?"-Gella

"She is not what she seems"-Me

"What do you mean?"-Gella

"She's up to no good so please avoid her"-Me

She stood up.

"YOU'RE LYING AREN'T YOU? YOUR JUST RUINING HER IMAGE"-Gella

I stood up.

"WHAT I'M SAYING IS TRUE AND I WOULD NEVER RUIN SOMEONE'S IMAGE"-Me

"THEN WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW"-Gella

"I'M TRYING TO WARN YOU, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST ME"-Me

"I HAVE KNOWN HER FOR A LONG TIME WHILE YOU WERE SULKING IN THAT CASTLE OF YOURS"-Gella

"FINE! IF YOU WON'T LISTEN, LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU"-Me

"FINE! GET OUT!"-Gella

I got out and I slammed the door behind me. Why is she always so dense as obsidian? She won't listen pfft well let's see what happen to her. I went outside and to a cherry tree on top of a small hill. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

"She will never listen to you, I've known her for years and I know how stupid she is"-Alex

I turned around.

"You! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"-Me

"Boss said to tell you that this is the last chance for the offer. So...you joining or what?"-Alex

"Never you shitty prick"-Me

"Fine then. Gust!"-Alex

A strong breeze restrained me to the tree and Mist blinded me and I can barely see a thing.

"I have to dispatch of you now. Any last words"-Alex

"Fuck you"-Me

"You're cursing now, well then, GOODBYE!"-Alex

She pulled out a knife but suddenly A small violet butterfly suddenly landed on her shoulder.

"What's this"-Alex

The butterfly exploded and badly burned her shoulder. Suddenly a swarm went behind me and I can hear loud explosions. The wind was suddenly gone. I fell to the ground.

"Come on let's go"-Mystic

"Thank you"-Me

She carried me towards back to the dorm. I was layed down on the couch.

"What happened"-Cannin

"Alex attacked her"-Mystic

"I'm ok, just weakened"-Me

"Here have some water"-Ivor

"Do you really have to team up with Mystic just to keep ruining Alex"-Gella

"Alex attacked her for real"-Mystic

"You dirty liars."-Gella

"Gella that's enough out of you"-Ivor

"But they'll just keep lying about Alex"-Gella

"You don't even understand the situation so go to your room"-Iron

"Fine!"-Gella

She stormed to her room and we can hear the door slam.

"Sorry she's just stubborn when it comes to Alex"-Iron

"She doesn't like hearing bad things about her"-Ivor

"I understand"-Me

She's like a puppet just following that witch around. She should be freed from her, earlier would be better.
