Chapter 8: Pure
"They must be here! Jordan stay behind me, I won't let them touch you!" The secret door was smashed to pieces and Mr Dvorak and an assortment of older students fanned into the room.
"We just need Jordan, no fighting." Mr Dvorak states obviously the leader of this little mob.
"How could you side with the Chaotics and still teach these children, you are despicable." Ms Ember spits. Jack is tense like he is about to release a spell, oh no. Mr Dvorak takes a step towards me and Jack releases a huge wave of fire. It would have insinorated all of them except Mr Dvorak was skilled at defense and warped Jack uncontrolled magic into a single spear and hit it right back at Jack before he had a chance to even move. I could feel the heat of the spear as it grazed Jacks side pulling skin with it. He screamed and my head was wobbling. Ms Ember reacting before Mr Dvorak or I could wrapped her big arms around the yelping Jack and we were gone. I felt the molecules in my body reshape in a different place. Jacks screams as he lands on the dirty wooden floor with Ms Ember hunched over him working her healing magic.
"Jack Jack it's going to be okay Jack." I cry his eyes closed in pain. His hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat.
"Jordan, I need you to put up some protection against the doors, can you do that for me?" Ms Ember commands trying to keep me busy and us safe.
"Yes." I walk to the door past boarded up windows, I sealed it shut with multiple layers of pressure Ice and all on the windows too. My hands were shaking as I turned back to Jack, blood was on the floor an on Ms Embers legs, but Jacks wound was almost healed. Ms Ember was struggling to stay conscious. I didn't know what to do, seeing Jack in so much pain, seeing his blood, it was too much.
"Jordan, they will be here soon. I don't have enough energy to move us anywhere else. Just tell your mom that-" Ms Ember didn't have time to finish before Mr Dvorak broke through the door. My wand was snapped in the fall, no worries. It only focuses magic easier maybe would have helped. I rose to my feet to meet him, good thing i'm stronger when i'm angry.
"GET OUT!" I scream throwing ice at his disciples turning two of them to human popsicles. My pendant was burning on my chest.
"Jordan did you ever learn anything in my class?" He aims his wand at the ground beneath me. A trench was opening beneath my feet about to swallow me in, I turn to run and Ms. Ember presses one hand on Jack's forehead and the other mends the floor instantly. She froze, not from ice, but her pendant faded away and she turned to dust and seeped into the earth. My heart burned, but Jack was getting up.
"You are even weaker than before, just let me take you Jordan." Mr Dvorak tries to play on my grief but he has another thing coming. Jack gestured towards the back door. I threw my hands up with an immense wave of power, all the glass in the building shattered and time froze. I had never ever done anything that powerful. Just Jack and I could move, I felt free and lighter. Sprinting out the back door the spell was wearing off.
"Jordan your pendant!" I looked down and it was gone, no remnants of it. It couldn't have just fallen off!
"The spell is wearing off, just run!" I push him ahead of me and we turned the corner and Jack was gone. Or he was far ahead of me being dragged by Mr Dvorak's henchman.
"JACK!" I scream so loudly that I blacked out.
JACK
One second I was running with Jordan and the next I was captured. Their magic far superior to mine I couldn't move or I would be dead, and I won't die unless I know Jordan is safe. She was far in the distance now and her body collapsed. Laying on the grassy earth she blended in, but she was vulnerable. I needed to get to her! The men stopped and pushed me to my feet and Walked in front of them at wand point. I tried to turn my head back but one of the henchman jabbed his wand in my back. Mr Dvorak was leading us deeper in the forest and I was feeling like there was no hope. I heard a branch snap behind me. The three henchman heard it also because they made us stop and Mr Dvorak looked around.
"Jordan, we have your friend here. If you turn yourself in we will set him free?" He asks fake politeness. Silence, maybe it wasn't her. The air got colder and Dvorak spun around looking for her with no luck.
"Sit him down, we will wait for the boss here." I was pushed to the ground and Mr Dvorak sent a beam of black light into the sky.
"Jordan your daddy will be here to pick you up soon, and your friends dead body." That must have set her off because a huge wall of ice circled around us. At least ten feet tall, Mr Dvorak took a couple steps back in awe but trying to play it off. I watched his shoulders stiffen.
"This is an easy fix Jordan." He laughs. I saw her silhouette to the right of me, then it disappeared. Inside they start to lob fireballs at the wall to no avail. Jordans silhouette reappeared at the front and walked to the ice wall, I could see her small frame seemed relaxed despite the situation. The ice melted around her and she stepped inside, the cold glassy ice solidifying behind her.
"Jord-" I started but my eyes were met by flames. Her golden irises were filled with pure flame and the grass around her was charred black. She keeps walking forward and Mr Dvorak panics.
"SSTOP HERR!" His henchman stop are also panicking and shaking all three lobbed a fireball at Jordan.
"NOO JORDAN!" I scream, I cant watch her die! The air was hot but instead of Jordan being incinerate her magic aura soaked in the fire and reflected their weak efforts back onto them tenfold. The three men behind me were nothing more than charcoal on the ground. Mr Dvorak was shaking despite the intense heat in the air. Jordan stepped closer and closer to him.
"How has the power not killed you yet Jordan! No one has ever lived this long without a pendant!" Mr Dvorak doesn't try to hide his fear anymore. She pushes him onto the ground and his last noises were a scared whimper before an ice spike impaled him. Her head slowly turned towards me.
"Who are you?" Asked a voice that was different than Jordans coming out of her body.
"Jack…"
"She doesn't want me to kill you." The voice tells me, fiery eyes burning into mine. I reach for her arm and she jumps onto me pinning my arm and legs down perfectly with her small body. Her hands burn my skin an I spin her over, she's too small to keep the 100 pounds I have on her down.
"I'm not going to hurt you, please let Jordan come back." I beg the voice. It's struggling, obviously angry the air got even hotter my sweaty hands slipped off her arms and I tumbled face into her face. Lips on to her burning lips. Maybe it was instinct or dumb luck but it went from impact to a full out kiss, and she was kissing me back and cooling off! Was I helping? From kissing her? My hand tangled in her hair and lips exploring hers, tasting her breath she made little gasping breaths of pleasure. Then her hands threw me off with extraordinary strength I was yards away from her and she screamed, a Jordan scream. I jump up running to help her but. She. Burst. Into. flames. Her body spasmed in the flames. I couldn't help her, but she seemed unharmed by these flames also. A wave of energy blasted off her and the fire disappeared leaving her limp body on the charred grass. I ran to her now pulling her off the grass into my lap.
"Jordan...Jordan..jordan?" Calling her name desperately. She took a big inhale, shes alive shes alive!
"Thank the gods your alive." I hug her freezing body, she is alive but needs immediate rest. Where do I go? There are dead men around me, a melting ice wall. The teacher we trusted is gone…
"You have something of mine."
