Chapter Seventeen
Topaz walked to a more private area with the boys, her hair gently swaying behind her as Sirius walked halfway behind her. "Here"Topaz says glancing around for Ruby. "I forgot all about that transformation power of your Sirius!"Arcturus says Sirius's eyes turning a golden color. "Arcky, you've got no time to admire Sirius' tricks"Alpheratz sighed shaking his head, "How could you get distracted when Topaz ran from you and went missing?" Arcturus flinched slightly, then looked down guilty. "I thought I could take care of it quickly to find her..sorry ToTo, you must've been scared"Arcturus says Sirius narrowing his eyes when the male got closer to the silent girl.
He automatically slapped Arcturus's hand away when the male reached to take Topaz's hand. "Oh...uh...uhm, how about we forget that"Arcturus says sweating as Sirius stared him down. "There's this banquet at Neb Aula, everyone's looking forward to. It's Fili Pfeper and Queen Tet's turn to prepare for it..."Arcturus informs. "The Queen Tets started it, obviously. They said something about wands being old fashioned..or something like that"Pollux added on annoyed. "The professors would be cancelled the banquet and Spica's surprise, if they found out. I was in a hurry...please forgive me, I'm so sorry Topaz"Arcturus sighed looking like a kicked puppy. "Spica's surprise?"Topaz says perking up.
Arcturus flinched and slapped a hand over his mouth, looking alarmed. "Spica heard from Ruby that you never had a Debutante, so he asked the Headmaster if the banquet could also be your Debutante and that it be kept secret. He went out and got you a dress, a cute little tiara, perfect shoes and more"Pollux blurted. "....Oops"Pollux mutters as Arcturus looked at him in disbelief. "....he's doing that for me..."Topaz mumbles. She frowned, not wanting anything to do with Spica in this life. "Oh and Arcky, it's alright, I forgive you"Topaz says smiling up at him. Arcturus blushed, his eyes widening slightly. Sirius stepped forward, Arcturus jumping in alarm at how protective he looked.
"Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?"Arcturus asks. Topaz stepped past Sirius and pressed a kiss to Arcturus's cheek, alarming him. "Thanks for always looking out for me Arcky, even when you're busy"Topaz says gently. "Sirius! How come to helped us out? Why save the day today"Pollux interrupts noticing the fuming look on his face. Sirius calmed himself and sighed as his eyes turned green. "In case you forgot, I'm still part of the Guide Committee. It's my job to help out"Sirius replied bitterly. "......I saw my Topaz in danger and I stepped in to help her before it escalated. Happy?"Sirius went on his eyes turning golden yellow again. Topaz blushed, Sirius taking her hand and pressing a kiss to the palm of it.
He stared at her, a glint in his eyes, causing her to remember that he was gonna meet her tonight for some reason. "Sirius!" Sirius perked up, looking alarmed by her sudden angry expression. "We. Need. To. Talk!"Topaz glared bristling. He moved back surprised, noticing the black electricity sparking from her finger tips. "Oh, just remembered, I have to take care of something else"Sirius says quickly, his eyes blue now. "Alright, everything's settled so you won't be needing me here. See you around, Sorcerers"Sirius grinned turning away his eyes turned gold. "Sirius!"Topaz repeats angrily. Sirius tapped his foot on the floor and vanished into thin air, Topaz staring in shock her eyes wide, "That...jerk!"
"Look at him run, he's hiding something clearly"Alpheratz frowned. Pollux snorted, looking agreeable. "I know, right? Who knows what he might be up to when he's not with us"Pollux spoke up. "This took way longer than expected..we were gonna go find Spica"Arcturus informed. Topaz glanced at him, then walked away. "T-Topaz?!"Pollux blinked. "I don't wanna see Spica....now or ever..."Topaz says quietly, "I hope he just forgets about me." Topaz walked away, leaving them behind. "That was a little rude." Ruby walked over, a shocked Spica standing beside her. "I...came to look for you all, because of our scheduled meeting..."Spica says quietly looking down, hiding the hurt he felt.
Topaz sat in her room, looking down at her feet silently, wondering if she should take a walk through the garden. "There you are!" She turned, looking startled to see Sirius standing by her opened window. "The window was opened so I welcomed myself in"Sirius grinned. She glared at him, and got to her feet, marching over to the man. She slapped him outside of the head. "YOU JERK! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING TRYING TO SHOOT RUBY?!"Topaz yells. Sirius grabbed her by the jaw, bringing her closer. "You haven't officially regained any of your emotions, your emotional spark is still gone.....all because of Spica, I should shoot him down"Sirius mumbles. She moved back, Icicle staring at them both silently.
"How come you gave Arcky a little smooch"Sirius demands. "Hmph!"Topaz grumbled turning away. She opened her eyes finding herself suddenly in the sky. "Have fun~~" She screamed, flailing around as she fell. "S-SIRIUS!"Topaz shrieked. A pair of arms caught her with ease, her eyes wide when she noticed it was Vega. "Really? You can teleport now too"Vega demands staring down at her. "N-No, this was an accident"Topaz replied. He set her down, and sighed with irritation. "You should...give Spica another chance"Vega insists. "Why should I, he betrayed me twice, there's no telling if he'd betray me again"Topaz demands. A gentle breeze blew through her hair, her hand flying up to keep her hair from covering her view.
Vega placed his hand on her cheek, staring down at her as she looked up at him surprised. "I've seen firsthand...how miserable Spica looked in the past, how gloomy he was...give him another chance"Vega mumbles. He leaned closer, her eyes widening. She blinked twice, finding Sirius back in front of her. "....are you choosing Vega over me..."Sirius asked his tone shaky. "What"Topaz says stunned. "I'm leaving"Sirius says. "Sirius wait!"Topaz calls reaching forward. "Also, there's no wonder that you'd choose him over me"Sirius mutters. "What are you talking about"Topaz demanded. "He's from Mid Eartheim, like you, came through a rift"Sirius replied. He leaped out the window, vanishing from view.
Topaz laid in her bed when night fell upon the school, looking at the ceiling silently. Arcturus had told her that she and Ruby had both been accepted as Committee members and were therefore allowed to attend the school now, he kept it short because he saw how gloomy she looked. She sighed and turned over, then heard the door open. Spica walked in, and sat at the end of her bed, alarming her. She stared at him, looking stunned that he just entered her room without permission. Spica sat still, looking towards the window then at the door staying silent. "Topaz...if you can hear me somehow, I'm sorry for abandoning you...I blamed you for something you had no control over"Spica suddenly says.
"I don't blame you for hating me and keeping your distance....but I hope one day we can officially become siblings"Spica adds on. Tears fell down her cheeks, soaking her pillow, startled by his words. She gripped her nightgown, silently wanting him to stop toying with her heart. He broke it twice and pushed her away in the past, when she tried to get close to him, now he was trying to get close to her. She...just couldn't trust her brother at all right now. She felt a hand place itself on her head, her eyes closing quickly. Spica removed his hand, and sighed deeply, looking towards the window. "Mother...what do should I do to make it up to her.....I failed twice already"Spica mumbles.
