“Gotcha.” She sat down alongside Liv, Lonan bursting from her arms in a flutter of feathery wings onto the table. His reptilian eyes looked up and down the table where familiars mingled with students– oversized hamsters, cheetahs, monkeys, parrots, everything you could possibly imagine in the animal kingdom. “Oh no.” Piper pursed her lips at the sight of the blond girl with a toucan on her shoulder. “We have trouble coming at us, 10’o clock.”

“He might be able to come. Is he a witch? Let’s go talk to Ms. VIne.” Piper smiled sweetly, “C’mon, mate,” Lonan leaped into her arms where she petted his wings down gingerly, and he hummed gently letting out a stream of smoke as she moved across the cafeteria and toward the office.
-
“You’re going to leave Orsin behind?” Lonan asked stricken from where he stood on all four legs a few feet away. “Right now isn’t the time to bail on him, Goldmyth.”

“That…thing in the basement can’t stand too much supernatural opposing energies at it. You and Fang probably flustered it along with the other students so it fled not doing much harm to you all…It may be taking a supernatural ghostly form but in the end they are still humans. Damned, bitter humans.” She shook her head gently.
-
“Selfish? Don’t be silly, you haven’t seen your family in years. Your reaction is quite normal.” Ms. Vine scotched the tissue box closer with a smile, “I’m sure if we take all the correct precautions everyone will come out safely.”
-
“Rea, I understand. But their familiars seem to be in good health…they must understand also that we are able to track their magical energy considering their daily usage of it.” She tilted her head to the side, considering the idea. “…Well, if they wanted nothing to do with them they would have already been dead.” She said a bit bluntly. “They’re waiting for something…the head races consider they’re trying to lure us out for a mass murder as it would seem your parents are not the only one.” She leaned across the table to gently touch the other girl’s shoulder in a soothing gesture, and Genie bounced over to jump onto Rea’s lap, pulling gently so she could reach the girl’s forehead and heal the oncoming bruise there. “We are sorry, Rea. We most take the proper precautions necessary…and we are quite a big school and very old so we have a bit of influence on the head witch…but we cannot risk the lives of those who are free. If they do plan to strike us down your parents also will be killed.”
-
“Careful, Rea, not so fast.” Ms. Vine grabbed her familiar, Genie, to hold on her lap. “Please understand Rea that this wolf hunter territory is in the human world, underground, so charging in with a raid would look no less than suspicious to them…For the most part, humans will be selfish and ignore the problem, but there is the police and the news they have set up which we’re worried about.” Genie said quietly, probably saying the longest sentence anyone other than her partner has heard. “Yes,” Ms. Vine nodded in agreement, “for now we have to scout things out–find their weak points. It is unknown when we will officially go in because All Head Members of the races have to deem it safe enough to try.”

Piper stood up and moved across the breakfast room to Goldmyth to crouch down. “Goldmyth, I’m sure Orsin will be okay. Are you sure you want to go home?” She asked like a girl hosting a sleep over, looking at the only girl who was ready to go home once the sun dipped behind the horizon, scaring other girls making them want to go home too. She looked around the room at murmuring students with their familiars, whispering worriedly. “I’m sure there’s a lot of more fun things to do this year–a lot more learning we have to do.”

Lonan was found sitting with his clawed talons deep into a hind leg of a cow. He looked up at Piper with a blood slicked muzzle as she came his way with a bagel with bacon and cream cheese wedged between. “Really? At least clean up at the table.” She grabbed a napkin from the dispenser to wiped off his mouth and sit down next to him, conveniently across from Liv and Abilard. “Hey Al, how’re you doing? Last time I saw you you were bundled up in Liv’s arms like a stuffed animal.” She chuckled a bit, taking a bite of her sandwich.
-
“Cool, lets go.” The girl moved down the hall and toward the breakfast room, every once in a while looking up to see if she saw Lonan flying about somewhere.

“Yes, well, it is unknown what you’re parents have been doing these past few years—they could have been wolf hunter hunting without your knowing, or the wolf hunters has simply expanded their selection-” She stood up at the sight of Goldmyth. “Goldmyth, please, I am currently having a very important conversation with a student. Orsin is currently being fed by one of our maids.”
-
“I see.” She moved over to grab a small black purse before looking over to Liv. “You ’bout ready to head into da breakfast room? I’m in the mood for Nutella with fruit. Would you like to come with?” She cocked a brow at the new-comer, moving around him and out into the hall.
“Well here is the thing, we looked for your parents’ own magical energies and were unable to find them…but no need to worry, as their familiars are still alive and well as we found their energy. Bad news is they’ve been discovered in an unexact point of wolf hunter territory.” She bit onto her pencil as she bunched up her blond hair into a messy bun before sticking the pencil through. “As they were originally unkown to our kind, and yours clearly, we have sent spies of all different races to examine and see if it is more than just a wolf hunter’s coven.”

Piper threw the door open, her hair bouncing in slight curls around her. “Where’s Goldmyth off to in such a bleeding rush?” She asked in her thick accent, and scanned the room for Lonan with her regular dark eyes. “Oi! Listen here Liv, we’ve got to start thinking of this ghost–” Her voice cut off abruptly at the sight of the unfamiliar boy at their doorway, and she closed her face off with a cheap smile. “Hello, and who might you be?”
“I…I don’t know, Rea, I think you have a bit more important things to be worrying about other than Fang. Not to mention he’s probably going through some sort of trial now.” She pushed her hair back, “Of course you have the option to see him later if you’ll like. But for now you should know we’ve discovered some new information on your parents–well, their familiars at least.”

“What if the ghost were caught in there unexpectedly? Orsin didn’t just attack his witch for no reason!” Piper swiped her hair back from her face, and the dark reptilian on her shoulder let out a puff of smoke. “Piper…” She quieted down a bit as he continued, “Gold we’ll research if you’re not up to it. I’m sure Orsin will be fine. Meanwhile the rest of us should get ready…” Piper nodded before padding across the room to the bathroom. “I’m changing first.” Lonan jumped off her shoulder to land in a graceful mass of scales. “I suggest two things for you, mortal girl…Either you go to Ms. Vine’s office in an attempt to see Orsin,” His liquid eyes scanned the room a bit unsettling. “Or go in search of him yourself.” He flapped his wings to dart out the side window like a bullet.
“Calm down Rea, Fang is in no trouble with this school. If anything you two helped the situation if what you’re saying is right..although I do not appreciate your dashing off wildly.” She let her head hang a bit, “I would tell you it may be necessary to relocate, but the cellar is now empty. What threat poses you now?” She moved over to the mini-fridge in the corner of the room. “Tea?” She pulled out two bottles of green tea without waiting for answer, slamming them both down on the desk and to let the air pressure out of one with a hiss and twist of the cap. “Back onto the matter of Fang, however, he will not be in any sort of trouble here at this academy…but the one he calls home? Well, I imagine there are some rules he broke as a Protector to let you go through with it—even so much as to accompany you. I cannot imagine what they’ll do, but it shouldn’t be anything savage like.”

“That…is a brilliant idea!” She laughed, clapping her hands together. “C’mon, Goldmyth,” She touched the other girl’s shoulder. “What if Orsin…Is being possessed by the loose ghost?” Her eyes widened at the realization what she’d said, “That actually totally sounds legit. What if it’s in Orsin?”
-
Piper looked over to Goldmyth, and remembered Orsin with a jolt and looked back over to her own familiar who was rousing quietly with a yawn, “Goldmyth, was it?” He stretched out fully, leaping to fly and join his partner’s shoulder. Piper cleared her throat, “Goldmyth? You awake?” She touched the girl’s shoulder carefully.
-
“Yes?” The door was answered by Ms. Vine herself, with rumpled clothes she’d worn the night before and her blond hair usually tightly pinned up fell down her shoulder messily. In a strange way she looked a bit younger. “Oh, Rea.” She took off her glasses swiftly to rub her eyes. “Yes, yes, come right in. I’m glad to see you recovered well from the venom. I’m actually quite glad to see you, maybe you can clear up what happened last night.” She gestured over to her desk that was a mess of papers.
Piper sighed, “I know…We’re so dead. Especially because that ghost is out here on the loose…and I don’t think its too happy with us.” She ran a hand through her hair, smiling a bit sadly. “I’m sorry, Liv, how are you feeling?” She stood up to move over toward the blond girl leaving her dark familiar curled up in her bed to stir a bit.
