Oh no..

Aurora knew today was not going to go well when she woke up out of her bed again. She wasn’t too uncomfortable, as she was leaned against something, though she was not too sure what.

She turned sleepily, before noticing with horror that it was Jean she was propped up against.

She awkwardly shuffled a few feet away, before listening to what Rosie had to say.

Oh no.

Noooo...

“Alright students, welcome to your first flying lesson,” Constantijn paced back and forth, arms resting behind his back. “It will be tough, but as an experienced flier for over twenty years, I can assure you- You are learning from the best. I expect you have been following your work out routine? For your sake, I hope so.”

Life had become tedious for Magnus- who knew having all this power came with no fun? Sure messing around with people who thought they could screw him over brought some entertainment, but it was only ever brief and well, Magnus had a short attention span.

Which is why on most nights you could find him at Pandemonium, a place he offers protection to- In other words meant he would not murder and trash the establishment if they allowed him free reign on their property. Conducting deals and such.

Magnus, of course, never put his face in a deal. He is more of a behind the scenes man that reaps in the benefits. Which is why he has never really been a bother to police. Although his name was well known, it was also discreet in how he dealt in business.

Ruby trekked back into the forest, calling out for her dog. She hadn't been home when Ruby got home and she didn't return all night. Without her dog, she felt uncomfortable and didn't sleep at all, fear seeping into her bones at the thought of how easy it would be if someone broke in. After an hour of searching she came across the spiked collar that was on the ground and horror ripped through her. Stooping down to pick it up, there was a sticky substance on it that when it came off on her fingers she noticed it was dark red. "Fuck."
