Defending Yourself Against Magic | Tuesday, 4th period

This week, the students would find themselves stepping into a simulated night-time street straight out of a mystery film. Bright street lights and neon, with intervening pools of darkness. Empty cars parked along the streets, stores boarded up for the evening. Occasional pedestrians or cars passed by.

"Since it's come to my attention that everyone's likely to be a bit antsy today and maybe need a distraction, I thought we'd put a few things into practice."

Bob beamed in a way that meant you should probably all worry.

A man hurried down the street toward them, looking back over his shoulder occasionally, his whole attitude screaming fear and paranoia.

Then, about a block away, the street erupted. A writhing mass of darkness that seemed alive poured out, taking myriad different shapes, a man at its center.



Bob pointed at the squirrely man. "You have to protect him," he pointed at the man in the middle of the dark army, "from him. Have fun!"

Nathan was a little too unfocused to really concentrate on the lesson. This island was going to make him crazy.

Anders wasn't in a mood to help Nathan's concentration, unfortunately. He leaned in close as soon as Bob was done talking and whispered, "How soon can I see you?"

Fighting darklings was all well and good, but it wasn't quite what he needed.

Nathan looked momentarily dazed because there was closeness happening but shook it away quickly enough.

"This is my only class for the day," he answered. "I'm done after this."

Good answer. Excellent answer. Anders' favorite answer in the history of answers, in fact.

"I'm done after this too," he said, still quiet. "I'll be in my room."

He'd get Rapunzel to take Pascal and Lachlan ...somewhere. He didn't really care where, as long as it was a place that didn't also include his bed.

Nathan didn't really trust his voice so he just nodded. Didn't want to draw too much attention to the conversation in the middle of class.

Anders didn't particularly want to either, so he simply smiled and stepped away. There'd be plenty of time to talk later.
