Chapter 13: An Urgent Deadline
Andrea's POV:
"Grim! Get your tail back down here right now!" I yelled at him, Ace, Deuce and I have chasing after him around the school and now we're in the cafeteria with Grim on the chandelier. "Crap! He's darting around everywhere!" Ace growled, "Heheheh! Catch me if you can suckers!" Grim taunted, "Grim, I swear to God, I'll beat you into a pulp if you don't get down here!" I yelled at him, "Then come and get me if you can, henchman!" Grim taunts me as he sticks his tounge at me, pissing me off. "Why you little-!" "Kuh, getting on the chandelier is an underhanded move!" Deuce growled, "Now what are we gonna do?!" I said, "We've haven't learned the magic to fly yet... We need something to get up there, and also catch him..." Deuce mutter, he closed his eyes as he placed his hand under his chin, beginning to think. He snapped his eyes open and called, "Ah, I've got it!" Deuce took out his magic pen and point it at Ace. "What is he doing?" I thought, asking myself that question.
"I've gotta think of an idea..." Ace mutter, but then he noticed Deuce is pointing his magic pen at him, he backed away as he yelled, "Woah, woah, wait a sec! Why are you pointing your magic pen at me!?" "I'll just throw you!" "You're gonna what?!" I yelled, looking at Deuce like he's gone mad. I've got a bad feeling about this. "You're joking!?" Ace began to yell as Deuce levitate Ace in the air. "Wooaaahaaa! Don't make me float! You're really going to throw me!? Knock it off!" "Deuce, wait a minute!" I yelled, trying to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to me! "Catch him, ya hear. Take aim..." "Deuce, stop!" But it was too late, "Fire!" Deuce flung Ace into the air, "Gyeeuuuhh hhhaaaaaa!!" Ace screams as he flies towards Grim and the chandelier, "Ffngaaaaaa!!!!??" Grim screamed, I covered my eyes and flinched when I heard a loud crash. I uncovered my eyes and to my horror, the chandelier is now destroyed with Ace and Grim laying on the ground, looked like stars are circling around their heads.
"Oh my God!" Not again! "I can't believe it!" Ace coughed as the dust from the crash went away as he got up, Grim on the other hand is still laying on the ground. "Ffnyaaa...." "I, I screwed up! I didn't think about the landing!" I felt my eye lid twitched when Deuce said that, "Are. You. KIDDING ME?!" I yelled at Deuce who stepped back when I yelled at him, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF WHAT WILL HAPPENED?! OR ACE'S LANDING IF HE CATCHES GRIM?! OR WHAT WILL HAPPENED TO THE CHANDELIER?! SERIOUSLY?! NOW WE'RE GONNA BE EVEN MORE BIG TROUBLE BECAUSE OF THIS! WE ARE SO DEAD!" Ace agreed with me, because he yells, "Are you... AN IDIOOOOOOTTT!!!!???? We caught Grim, but if the headmaster find out we busted the chandelier..." "If I... find out?"
We all flinched at the sound of the voice, and we slowly turned to see a very angry Crowley standing behind me with his arms crossed. "Oh fuck..." I mumbled under my breath, knowing we are in so much trouble, "Ah... Headmaster..." I flinched when Crowley yelled, "Just~ what~ exactly~ ARE YOU ALL DOING?!?!?!" "Ffnyaaa... The room is spinning..." Grim mumbles, still dizzy from the crash. "You weren't satisfied with just damaging the statue, so you decided to destroy the chandelier!?" Crowley scolds at us, "This is the last straw. I will have all of you expelled!" "Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh!!" Ace and Deuce screams, "But Headmaster, we can explain-" I tried to explain in order to defend Ace and Deuce, but he just gave me a look as if he's telling to stay quiet.
"Please! Anything but that! I have things I have to do at this school!" Deuce pleaded, "You have nothing to blame but your own idiocy." Crowley said, "I will pay for all damages if I have to!" Deuce offered, "This is no normal chandelier. This is a magical chandelier that uses candles that will burn for eternity. It is a masterpiece made by a legendary master of magical tools. It has been entrusted to the school since its very foundation... Taking into consideration it's historical value, it would cost no less than a billion madol. Can you pay for those damages?"
"What?!" I yelled, "It costed THAT much?! Holy shit!" I thought in shock, but then again it IS a magic chandelier, so I guess it make sense when you think about it... "A b-billion madol!?" Deuce stutters, "But teacher, can't just fix it right up with magic..." Ace requested, "Ace, I'm pretty sure magic can't fix everything." I said, "Andie is right." Crowley agrees, "Magic is not all powerful. More importantly, what we call that heart of any magical tool, the magic crystal was shattered. No, two magic crystals are the same. This chandelier will never be lit again." I glanced back at the destroyed chandelier with a sad expression, "I bet that must've been a really special chandelier." I thought, I look back at Ace and Deuce, who both look down in sadness, "How can that..." Ace muttered, "Crap... What am I doing... What am I going to tell mom..." I clenched my fists, I wish I can do something, but what can I do?! I hate feeling helpless!
"... That's right. There's one way. There might be one way to fix the chandelier." We all soon perked up when he said that, "The magic crystal for this chandelier was maimed in the Dwarfs' Mine. If we have a magic crystal of the same kind as the original, repairs might be possible." "I will go find a magic crystal!" Deuce said as he stepped up, "Please, allow me to go!" "However, I have no guarantee that there are any left in the mine. The mine has been closed for a while and it's very possible it's exhausted of crystals." Crowley informs us, "I'll do anything to get the expulsion rescinded." Deuce insisted. "... Fine. I shall give you one night. Come to me with a magic crystal by tomorrow morning, or face expulsion." He said sternly, "Yes! Thank you very much!" Deuce said firmly, "Uuaaah. I suppose. Let's go get that magic crystal and be done with it." Ace shrugged, "Use the Gate in the Mirror Chamber to go directly to the Dwarfs' Mine." Crowley instructed, "Yes, sir!" Deuce said before he and Ace ran off, I was about to follow them when I saw Grim, who's still dizzy, getting up.
"Ha! What now...? What exactly did I..." I gave him a dark deadly glare, ready to kill him as he flinch from my glare, "You really fucked it up for us this time you little jackass." I grabbed Grim by his collar and ran after the two boys. As much as I want to deal with Grim, I knew I have to later now I have to help get the magic crystal. We arrived at the mirror chamer, and we're ready to go to the Dwarfs' Mine. "Aaaaah... Why did it turn into something like this? Today is really not my day..." Ace whined, making me rolled my eyes at him. "Now isn't the time for mumbling! Let's go!" Deuce said, "Dark Mirror! Take us to the Dwarfs' Mine!" With a flash of light, Ace, Deuce, Grim and I are taken to the Mine.
