mindcrackloveI know, it's a rubbish title. But I can't title. End of story.
Etho was half asleep when Pause dragged Beef inside their dorm. As soon as he saw his friend's worried face, he leapt out of bed. "What's wrong?"
Pause gently sat Beef in a chair. "I don't really know. All I know is that this wave of sickness hit us both, but it seemed to really affect Beef. He passed out in my arms after muttering something about Curly..."
Etho smiled. "He passed out in your arms huh? That sounds so cute..."
Pause nearly threw something at Etho then. "Does it matter? Beef is unconscious! Focus!"
"Well what do you want me to do? I'm not a healer!"
Pause ran his hands through his hair. "Anything that doesn't include magics?"
"Uh, we could try to give him a drink, but we really should just put him in his bed, and maybe just check up on him every so often...?"
"That sounds like a plan. I'll get the drink, you put him in bed."
Etho rolled his eyes. "I always have to do all the hard work around here..."
----Meanwhile----
Sis was getting worried. It had been a little while now and Purple still wasn't back. She shook Tsu awake. Tsu rubbed her eyes and squinted at Sis. "What is it?"
"Purple still isn't back, I'm worried."
"Well she's probably doing something with Etho. Do you want to go join in with them Sis?" She giggled.
Sis rolled her eyes. "No! I was just gonna check the corridors! And you're coming too." Sis dragged Tsu out of bed.
"Ahhhhh! A little warning before you pull me out of bed next time please?"
Sis grinned. "I'll consider it. Now come on!"
Tsu smiled and shook her head before following Sis out of the dorm.
----
Sis gasped as she saw Purple. "Tsu, she's here!"
Tsu caught up to Sis. "Oh my god. Was she attacked by Etho or something?"
"Who knows? But she's got a pretty big cut on her forehead."
"Yeah, I can see that. I have eyes as well y'know! We need to get her back to the dorm."
"Yeah, can you maybe hold the cut closed with your magics while I carry her?"
"Ok, I'll try..."
Tsu focused her magics on Purple while Sis struggled to lift Purple. She grunted at the effort but slung her gently over shoulder. She stared back towards the dorms, with Tsu close behind.
----Outside the dorms----
Curly sat on a wooden bunch, feeling miserable. She'd watched as Beef passed out, and felt incredibly guilty at the damage she'd caused. She felt like crawling under a rock and never coming out again.
She really needed to learn to control her magics. She idly thought back to the many times various people had warned her that her magics were strong, and that she needed to control them. Curly put her head in her hands. Maybe it was best if she just stayed hidden away in her dorm. She wouldn't talk to anyone but the Munchkins. The more she thought about it the more she was certain that was the course of action she would take. She got up and headed back to her dorm to sleep, and, to stay. For quite a while.
----The next day----
Purple woke up, and winced as she tried to move her head. "Ow..." She touched her head where the pain was coming from. Her eyes widened as she felt a large cut running across her forehead. "What the heck...?" She sat up and walked over to the mirror that was conveniently opposite her bed. Sure enough, a nasty cut ran across her forehead and onto her cheek a little.
She turned as she heard Sis stirring. "Sis, what happened?"
Sis twisted as she tried to work out where the voice was coming from. "Oh, it's you Purple. I found you last night in the hallway with that cut right there. I've got clue what happened though. Me and Tsu just brought you back here."
Purple frowned. "What was I doing? Hmm..." She remembered the kiss with Etho, and it all came flooding back. "Oh yeah, Etho... Wanted to show me something. And after that I was walking back here and I fell, and hit my head. That's right. I fell cause I felt sick and dizzy."
An idea dawned in Sis' head. "Just like Curly's powers..."
"Curly... Why would she do that?"
Sis yawned and stretched. "Who knows? Come on, we better get ready for school."
----
It was announced at lunch. There was to be a whole-school assembly at 2. No-one new why, and the announcement was vague. Some of the newer people weren't even sure who the Principal was.
Gradually, the students began to filter into the main hall. It took up most of the school, and was pretty simple in design. Oak beams ran across the roof, which was a simple wood panelling design. Blue banners hung from the beams at intervals. Cold stone walls with blue lining formed a rectangular shape. The hall was just big enough to hold it's 1000 students, but not to the extend that it was too cozy.
Principal Soares was brief, and to the point. "You're probably wondering why I asked you all here today. As we speak, there is an arena being built. This will be used for tournaments, and it will be open to use whenever you want, within reason. It is a good opportunity for you to practise your skills, and maybe uncover any hidden ones.
Some magics classes will be held in the arena, for training your offensive magics. We are hoping that the arena will be complete within the week. Any questions?"
No-one raised a hand. "Good, now get back to your classes."
It's safe to say that nobody particularly concentrated for the rest of the day. Everywhere you went, there was excited chatter about the arena. Most people viewed it as fun competition. Some were worried. They didn't know how to use their magics offensively. But, throughout the week, the excitement kept building and they ignored that fact and joined in.
Except for one person. Curly. She remained isolated in her dorm. When teachers asked, the other Munchkins just claimed that she was sick. But they both kew that Curly was in some ways, worse than sick. They kept trying to cheer her up and get her to come out from the dorm, but she wouldn't budge.
----End Notes----
I know what happens the Curly in this chapter might seem a little mean, but she said what she did in the chapter, is what she'd do. If you don't believe me, look in the comments of the last chapter. (I'm not just mean! Honest!)
