2026-07-24 20:57:05HISTORY CLASS
The students file in their numbers. Cole, Anna, Daniel and Sofia sat among the students. Ms. Green stood at the front.
“Just so you know, I will be giving a test by the end of this lesson”
The class responded by groaning and murmuring in protest.
But Mrs. Green held up her hand “save your breath you’re still going to do it”
Daniel raised his hand.
“Yes, Daniel?”
“I’m still thinking about your history class… the one about Hunter?’
Ms. Green’s eyes narrowed slightly “what about it?”
“I find it funny that people like you teach history, but weren’t there to know for sure”
Ms. Green smirked “if first-hand experience was the only qualification, then cavemen should be teaching us prehistoric studies”
The entire class laughed indistinctly.
Ms. Green continued. “Well, class, I will be telling you about an artifact that was used centuries ago… the witches’ codex”
The class grew quiet, interest arising
Ms. Green’s voice took on a storytelling tone “the book was formed i the begging days when the most powerful witches and wizards from the north, south, east and west came together, each using their powers and knowledge to create this book”
She opened a book. A picture shows four witches and wizards in ancient robes surrounding a book, channeling magic into it.
A student raised his hands “so why would they create this book?”
“For witches, it contained the most powerful spells ever… and only the most powerful of witches could handle its raw power”
Ms. Green paused for effect. “But one day, a young wizard thought he could use it, but it wasn’t his time..”
She flipped the book, showing a young wizard boy with black magic all around him.
“The magic he wanted turned into dark magic, destroying his mind and causing him to wipe out his entire community. The council of witches then decided to alter the book, making it open to those powerful enough to wield its power”
Sofia leaned forward “so, does the book still exist?”
“It’s kept in the Hollowere National Museum under maximum security”
Anna scoffed “Bet I could steal it?”
“Sure you can” Sofia said sarcastically
Ms. Green clapped her hands. “Since that’s all for today. I’ll just go and..”
A student named Tony raised his hand “Wait? You said you were giving us a test”
A collective groan filled the room. Students poured Tony with crumpled paper.
Cole shook his head “Oh, Tony. always talking too much”
After the test, students murmured as they submitted their papers. Daniel shot Ms. Green an evil grin as he placed his on her desk.
Anna approached Ms. Green’s table. Ms. Green gently grabbed her hand.
Anna looked confused. “What’s happening?”
Ms. Green lowered her voice “I want you to know that I know about Daniel. And I want you to know that I believe and support you guys”
Anna nodded “I appreciate that”
“I’ll be here if you need my help”
Anna exited the room. Ms. Green watched her go, her expression troubled.
BOYS DORM
It's Nighttime. Cody and Jack woke up. They quickly and quietly dressed up in their party outfits and sneaked out.
CORRIDOR
In the corridor, they raced through with precise stealth. They came to a sudden halt when they found Mila and Kenzy waiting for them.
“What are you doing here?” Jack asked, surprised
Kenzy looked at Cody with disappointment “So, you’re actually going?”
“Yeah, why not?”
Jack turned back to Knezy “You still haven’t answered my question”
“We’re going to the library to study. We have an algebra test”
They heard footsteps fast approaching. In alarm, they all turned to see Cole walking toward them.
Cody smirked at Cole “changed your mind?”
Cole shook his head firmly “Heck no. I just wanted to see if you’ll actually make it”
Anna appeared from behind, wearing a party dress like Jack and Cole
“Well, I have” she announced
Jack blinked “whaddaya mean?”
“I’m coming too”
Cody and Jack looked at each other, then burst out laughing. They quickly stopped when they realized she was completely serious.
“Is there a problem” Anna asked, raising an eyebrow
“No. It's just that the other boys won’t agree, cause like…”
He gestured to him and Jack then to her.
Anna leaned forward, offended. “So, I can’t come because I’m a girl?”
Jack sputtered “Of course not!”
Cody quickly added “Yeah, women empowerment!"
Jack nodded vigorously “Yeah, women rule…”
Anna smirked “So, I’m coming”
Cole looked at Anna with suspicion
‘Why did you change your mind?”
“Because I want to show these ‘boys’ what a girl can do”
She walked past them. Cody and Jack followed. Mila and Kenzy headed toward the library. Cole watched Anna with narrowed eyes.
Behind the school, Cody, Jack and Anna met up the two humans from the basketball court. They had brought more students, making their numbers seven in total. They stood around a hole dug in the ground.
The first grinned at the sight of them "Glad you came” he shook hands with Cody and Jack
The second student spotted Anna “What is she doing here?”
“Oh, she wanted to come and we couldn’t stop her” Jack explained
“Yeah, and neither will you” Anna added coldly
The second student stepped back “OK, Ma’am”
The third student pointed to the hole “we managed to make a hole, but there’s some type of barrier or something protecting it” he touched the purple force field and got zapped, yelping in pain.
The fourth student frowned "I wasn't expecting this… do any of you have powers that can remove this thing?”
Cody smirked “I guess that’s my cue”
He approached the force field, stretched out his hands and concentrated. The force field shimmered and shook but eventually disappeared.
The first student grinned “All right, let’s go”
One by one, Cody, Jack and the seven students climbed through the opening and entered the woods.
LIBRARY
In the library, Kenzy and Mila sat across from each other, studying as their books were open. Mila noticed Kenzy who was clearly distracted.
“Um, the square root of 49 is 6” Mila said, testing her
“Yeah” Kenzy nodded vaguely
Mila closed her book “you’re not even listening”
Kenzy sighed “I’m sorry, but I can’t stop thinking about Cody”
“What about Cody?” Mila asked, concerned
“Is he making the right decision? I’m happy he’s ;earning to embrace his powers. But is using them to sneak out really good?”
Mila took a deep breath “Kenzy, I know you care about Cody. But he’s in high school. And high school is where one figures out who they are. So it’s up to Cody to decide what he wants to use his powers for, whether good or bad”
Kenzy exhaled “It’s just… I come from a place where witches would do anything to gain power or use that power for selfish, evil reasons. Cody has great power, and I know sneaking out of school isnt that evil but..
Kenzy paused “but I don't want him to end up like us witches, evil, power-hungry, and selfish”
Mila smiled “cody won’t, cause he has you to guide him”
Kenzy sighed, somewhat satisfied. Then her eyes widened in panic “I’ve been so busy worrying about Cody, I forgot I had algebra”
She waved her hand, about to cast a spell. Mila quickly grabbed her arm.
“Kenzy?!”
“I can’t afford to fail”
Mila's expression softened “is this because of your previous expulsions?"
Kenzy nodded, her tone low “this is my chance to start over. And I feel like I’m already failing”
Mila reached across the table and held her hand “you just have to try”

CHAPTER 33
From upstairs, Anna and Cole heard the roar. They came down fast and arrived at the doorway to see Cody in the lit room with the beast already rising to its feet. “Run!” Cole shouted Cody turned and bolted, but the beast was faster. One claw swept across his back and threw him into the wall. He hit it hard and slid.“Cody!” Anna’s eyes went wide. Then she took in the full shape of the beast for the first time “So that’s what it looks like” She materialized a spear and drove it at the beast. It passed straight through it like the thing wasn’t there. Anna blinked “My spear just went right through it” “Correct” Cole said The beast swung toward Anna and Cole. Then, Jack hit it from the side, fully shifted, all weight and momentum . the beast staggered. Jack growled and charged at the beast into a full on fight. Anna and Cole used the opportunity and went to bruised Cody and got him outside, each taking one arm, moving through the trees. Cody was grunting with every step “We have t

MEDITATING ROOM, DRAGON ACADEMYInside the meditating room, Mila was kneeling beside Kenzy, who was finally awake, sitting up, looking slightly alert. She used a careful flow of water to clean something from her skin “Did you get all the pollen out?” Kenzy asked “Probably” Mila nodded Cody immediately crossed the room and pulled Kenzy into a deep, long hug. “I’m so glad you’re awake” he whispered “Okay” she said, surprised. He held on. She let him. “Why all the emotions? I was only out for a few hours” “A few hours?” Mila said “You were out for two days” Kenzy went still “two days?!” “Mm-hmm” “That’s a lot of time for things to happen” her eyes narrowed “did things happen?” “Hommer’s dead” Cody said“Who’s Hommer?” Kenzy asked“A friend of the mayor, more like a best friend. He was an investigator who tried to connect the crimes to Dragon Academy. And he knew too much” Cody explained Cody reached into his pocket and pulled out the printed picture of the beast swiping Homme

CHAPTER 31HOLLOWEREAfterward, Mayor Mulligan was walking away when he turned and saw Principal Diana across the lawn in a white dress. Something in him collapsed. He went to her and she held him while he came apart completely, her arms around him, her expression patient and still. Elsewhere, Cody found the others, Anna, Cole and Jack, gathered near the edge of the lawn. “Not fair” Anna said immediately “we wore black at Austin's funeral“You don’t like white?” Cole asked “It’s not about liking it. White impractical. You know when you stab someone and the blood goes all over you? With any other colour it won’t show. But white, that’s a lot of bleach. You get it?” Cole stared at her, surprised “not at all” Jack turned to Cody “so what now? Back to Dragon Academy?” “For me, yes. Not you guys” “Why?” “Hommer knew something. Something the other didn’t want us to find out. You need to be the ones to track it down” “How?” Cole asked“I don’t even know who this Hommer guy is” A

HOLLOWERECody and principal Diana stood frozen, staring at Hommer's bloody, wrecked body in the middle of the street. Mayor Mulligan rushed forward, screaming and crying .“Hommer! Hommer!” he fell to his knees beside his friend, sobbing uncontrollably “Noooo!” “Who could have done this?” the principal watched, her breath shaky“Someone who didn’t want everything exposed” Cody’s voice was grim“You think the other spirit person could have done this?” “Maybe” Cody spotted a store nearby “I’ll have to check” he headed towards itThe mayor continued crying. The principal was about to approach him when polica cars and escorts surrounded the scene, evacuating people. The mayor spotted the principal through the chaos.“Diana?” he muttered as escorts carried the struggling mayor into a car. Principal Diana looked around “Cody?” she spotted the store and sighed “Cody… what now?” she walked toward it. STORE, HOLLOWEREInside the store, Cody approached the cashier, who was weaning an

CHAPTER 29HOLLOWEREOutside the house, Hommer came out hurriedly and spoke into his phone. In his office, Mayor Mulligan’s phone rang. He picked up “Hello?” “Conner, we have to meet now!” Hommer’s voice was urgent The mayor sat up straight “Why? What happened?!” “I found something. The murders, why it’s happening.. Everything. And you may want to get a coffee for this, because you have to believe the unbelievable"Hommer entered his car and drove off. From a nearby bush, Cody and Principal Diana hid.Cody turned to the principal “did Hommer just say he found out everything?” “Including the murders” the principal's face was grim“That means he knows about the second spirit person… and possibly why they did it. We have to follow him” Cody and Principal Diana follow Hommer's car. MEDITATING ROOM, DRAGON ACADEMYBack at the meditating room, Kenzy continued to attack the gang. She snapped her fingers and red chains erupted from glowing circles on the floorOne wrapped around Mila’

CHAPTER 28MEDITATING ROOM, DRAGON ACADEMYIn the meditating room, Kenzy lay still, unconscious. Cole, Mila, Anna, Jack and Kate gathered. Mila was reading through the stolen file.Kate looked at Kenzy “so you thought the safest place to hide a stolen file was a scanty room with a subconscious witch?”“Her name is Kenzy” Jack corrected her “and it does sound off when you say it out loud” Anna waved it off “Whatever. You still haven’t told us who you are” “The name’s Kate” “Kate?” Cole repeated Kate’s eyes narrowed “Is there a problem with it?” Cole shook his head quickly "Definitely not” “Good” Cole smacked his lips “Good” Jack pulled Cole aside and whispered “What is wrong with you?” “I have these issues with ice witches” Cole whispered back Anna put her hands on her waist “and why did you help us?” “Because you needed it. And plus, I would like to be a part of what you’re doing” Mila didn’t look up from the file “that’s nice… but what we’re doing is a six-person thing,
