Frenemies!

##Satphire##

Carla: If something happens to Johny, I will never forgive you.

Before I could respond, she walked away. Diego and his companion had already left. I went to see Mr. Edward to ask if he would consider rescheduling the test for me.

Teacher Edward: Hmm, I understand you want to reschedule.

Satphire: I have a friend who needs my help right now.

Teacher: The test is at 8 pm. It's your choice if you choose to skip it. It'll be 1hr long. On all subjects I've taught so far this year.

I nodded, disappointed he would not let me come another day. I finished the day. So I could have a way home. Cleon was with Carla dealing with Johnny's situation. After school, I walked over to the bus stop and waited.

Group of guys: Hey Satphire

I ignored them. I didn't have time to be nice. They surrounded me as usual. Some even sniffed me. I was too sad to say anything. Cleon seemed to search for something around the house when I made it home.

Satphire: Hi

Cleon: Hey.

I made my way upstairs to my room

Cleon: What did you and the Queen find out?

He asked as he kept following me.

Satphire: She found out about my involvement in it. She no longer wants anything to do with me.

Cleon: Okay, did you tell her you came to make things right?

Satphire: Why does it matter? If something happens to Johnny, she won't forgive me, and I can't blame her.

Cleon: We are over at Johny's dad's clinic. Would you like to come?

Satphire: Yes, but I must be back before my test starts. The teacher refuses to reschedule.

Cleon: I see. Get ready, and let's go.

I went upstairs, took a shower, and headed downstairs, where Cleon waited.

Carla: Thank you. It seems he stops seizing.

Johny's Dad: It's bizarre. This morning, his vitals were perfect. He's never been sick.

We heard as Cleon, and I walked in. Carla did not even look at me.

Carla: Good, you're here. I will contact Lady Universe to see if I can help him.

Johnny's dad looked concerned with Carla's statement.

##Carla##

Just keep fighting, babe. I'm coming.

Carla: Sorry, I don't have a car. Can you take me home, please?

Cleon: Of course, your highness.

Carla: Thank you.

On the way home, I couldn't think of anything other than Johny. Cleon dropped me home, letting me know he would return by Johnny's side. Satphire is Still going to do the test, so she will leave at 7 to get ready. I nodded. I didn't care who was trying to take advantage of her. She is a Dragon. She can take care of herself. I went inside my house and didn't even bother to let my Mom know I was home. I needed to focus right now.

Carla: Ok, I gotta concentrate.

Taking a meditation posture on my bed.

Mom: You weren't Going to say hi?

Carla: Hi Mom, Bye Mom.

She smiled and left my room. I got the globe Lady Universe got me. I spoke to it as she instructed.

Carla: Show me, Johnny.

I saw him in some glass cube. In an unknown universe. How was I going to get him out?

Knowledge: You called?

He suddenly appears in my room.

Carla: I didn't call you.

Knowledge: On the contrary. You need my gift. I am here to help you know how to use it in this fight.

Carla: Okay

Knowledge: What you were looking at is Metatron's cube. It is a divine cube. It is supposed to help find one's self, removing negative energy and leaving only good energy. But in our king's case seems like they reverse it. Sucking out all the positive thoughts in his head but replacing them with false ones, hmmm, fascinating.

Carla: It's really not the time to be impressed.

All we heard was plates shattering on the ground. Me and Knowledge turned around to see my mother right behind us. I thought, "oh God, how am I going to explain this? I'm Going to the crazy home."

Knowledge: Ahhh, A descendant of Anpu. Tell me, how is your father these days?

My Mom bends down to pick up the broken plates with food on them calmly. I quickly went to help.

Mom: I don't know. But If you find him, tell him that this will be my last life.

What is she talking about? Is she crazy too?

Knowledge: The Half who could choose when she dies. Yet she chose to die a mortal. I could never understand it.

Mom: How can you?

Knowledge: Now Carla, are you ready? I don't have time. I was in the middle of important research before summoned here.

Mom: Carla, How did you...

Knowledge: I guess she didn't tell you. Hmmm, Then I won't tell you,

Mom: CARLA!

I explain the day with Diego and his sidekick, Down to Knowledge, coming into the room.

Mom: Okay, I know you weren't on earth this summer. I get that. You got married. I've seen that too.

Carla: How did you know that?

Knowledge: Oh, your Mom's Mom was a seer. Some call them oracles; they are portals between the spiritual and the physical world. She got her mother's eyes.

Mom: You don't have the right to talk about my mother!

Knowledge: It was her time to Go. If it makes you feel better, Anubis was the one to pick her up.

Mom: Why would you think that would make me feel better?

Carla: ENOUGH! my husband is dying, and I need to save him. Please, Mom, we will talk about it later. Stay If you please, but Knowledge teach me, please. I need to help him.

##Satphire##

Johnny looks bad. His life force is diminishing. I could feel Cleon's sadness over losing his best friend and feeling helpless. Sigh, I'm to blame. I feel as though my throat started to freeze blue.

Cleon: Hey, Hey, not here. I know you Dragons shoot your power in the air when you feel you are losing someone dear to you. But you can't go shooting ice at this man's clinic. He's right there on the couch, taking a nap. We can't explain that.

Satphire: It's choking me

I said In a hoarse tone.

Cleon: Okay, Let's go

Satphire: Where?

Cleon: The house is 3 minutes away. Just hang on.

He grabbed my hands and brought me to his car. What was he going to do?

Cleon: I informed Carla. She said okay.

Satphire: She hates me

My throat kept getting bigger and blue-er

I ran inside, straight to my room, growling. Cleon standing by the doorway made me cry more. I felt my body lifted in thin air. Light coming from my eyes, mouth, my entire body. Was I fading away?

Cleon: That's not good.

I heard him say far away. I saw him running in my direction, but I got further and further away. The distance felt peaceful. I heard myself repeating I don't do good by people; I am not a good person. Everyone I love eventually hates me or hides from me. Then it got dark!

##Carla##

Cleon was reaching me telepathically.

Cleon: We have another problem

Carla: What now?

Cleon: It's Satphire, I think... She's dying

Carla: What?

Cleon: I got her in the bathtub full of cold water. She won't wake up.

Knowledge: Yes, the little dragon who carries around her hurt.

Carla: What do you mean?

Knowledge: She doesn't have any friends. You are, should I say you were, her only friend. Through you, she gained other friends; the time she spends with you is the happiest she has ever been. She never laughed before she met you. Never loved. She only knew hate. You showed her a better way to live. She feels like, as thanks, she ruined your happiness.

Carla: What?

My heart sank with each word.

Knowledge: In her defense, she only knew about you as a fiance that she had to challenge and win. She didn't know of the other kingdom's plan. In my opinion, she took on a silly mission to come to earth to help in whatever way she can as a friend. When you shunned her, the pain was too much.

Carla: What do you mean by too much?

Knowledge: She's dimming her light.

Carla: She was dying because of me?

Knowledge: Well, not you, but everything. Like getting her heart broken for the first time, seeing Johny on that bed. It was too much. Oh, well, what can you do? Now next lesson!

Did he just start eating grapes like what he's telling me is normal? How can he say next question like that?

Mom: Go to them there at her house. Try to reach her.

Carla: Keep him here. My lessons are not done.

Knowledge: Keep me here. I beg your pardon.

I Ignored him and went to Satphire's house and went straight to her room. They never lock their doors.

Cleon: Oh God, she won't wake up!! Phire, wake up, wake up, please.

Was Cleon actually crying? How much did he care for her? I lowered the temperature in the room.

Cleon: It's freezing. Ima go get my jacket.

Carla: Satphire, please come back to me. Am sorry. I Am so sorry. I need friends like you, friends who will call me stupid, push me to be better, Stand up for me when I refuse to take up for myself. There is much I haven't told you and show you. You're one of my best friends. Best friends fight. That's how you know the bond is strong. Respecting each other's opinions even if it's different from yours.

Cleon came back, looking at me in the tub, trying to wake her up

Cleon: Your transformation is really beautiful, your highness.

I put my forehead on hers.

Satphire: I don't think you mean that, my Queen?

Carla: I really do

The room transforms into this snowing place. She was in her Dragon form, lying on the mountain covered in snow.

Carla: Please don't leave me. I am freaking out. I don't know what I am doing. Johny is dying. You can't die too.

I cried.

Satphire: I think you and Cleon will be better off

Carla: That's not true. Every group has a realist. If you leave us now, we will be missing a piece.

Satphire: I am that important to you, huh?

Carla: Yes.

She took a long pause and smiled.

Satphire: I love Cleon, you know. I can't show him that because he doesn't want me.

Carla: Um.. I don't think everything is what it seems

Her face lit up.

Satphire: What do you mean by that?

I giggled while running away from her. She wanted to know, so she chased me, asking me, "What do I mean" I didn't want her to see the cloud of darkness fast approaching where she was. I am not sure what it was, but it did not look good. In no time, I was in her bathroom again.

Carla: Will you keep a close eye on her for me?

Cleon: Yes, Of course

Carla: Once I figure out a way, I will let y'all know.

Cleon: Okay

##Satphire##

I felt so much water in my lungs. It caused me to cough.

Cleon: You finally back?

Satphire: I didn't go anywhere silly

Cleon: You died

He said, scowling at Me. I guess that explains the peace. Carla again saved me from myself. I got out of the bathtub, walked over to find something out of the closet to wear.

Cleon: Where are you going?

Satphire: I have my test today. It's already 7:30.

Cleon: He's not interested in testing you. He's trying to sleep with you.

Satphire: What if you are wrong? Then I will fail.

Cleon: You are so stubborn

Satphire: So

Cleon: You just come back to life. Why not rest?

I didn't respond and changed my clothes without caring if my nakedness offended him. I grab my book headed out the front door.

Cleon: Let me at least drive you.

Satphire: Thank you

"I've never felt that way about anyone before. It hurt my soul to know he didn't feel the same about me; Around him, I lose myself. I wanted to be who he needed, someone he could be proud of. Even if we had nothing. I would learn to make him happy. Our children would be strong, healthy, and independent. Sadly, that's not what he wants." I thought throughout the car ride.

Cleon: We are here. Hope it's worth it.

Satphire: It will because I will pass with A's.

The school looks deserted. What did I expect? It's 8 pm. The Front door was open, so I made my way to Mr. Edward's class.

Edward: Hello

Satphire: Hi, where do you want me?

Edward: Straight to the point, I see. I thought you didn't get it at first.

Satphire: I brought two pencils just in case. You mention the test is 1 hr. I am ready. Just tell me where you want me to sit.

He got from his desk wearing a v-neck shirt, hair poking through the T-shirt, blue gym shorts below his waist, showing a glimpse of his underwear. Seeing his manhood print was not even an ounce attractive.

Edward: Sit where ever you like

I went to my usual seat and waited for him to pass the test. He handed me a packet with 32 pages of questions. A lot of these He still needs to teach. I grabbed my pencil and started taking my test. The way he kept pacing back and forth next to my desk was very distracting.

Satphire: You don't have to do that. There is Noone here for me to cheat off.

Edward: You're right. It's a habit.

I got up and handed him the test. Saying goodbye.

Edward: Wait, let me see

He grabbed the paper and started grading it.

Edward: Just as I thought

Satphire: What?

Edward: 100 percent

Satphire: Oh, goodies

Edward: I have seen you hanging with that young cat.

Satphire: Cleon?

Edward: Yes, him. Have you started your sex education yet?

Satphire: Honestly, Mr. Edward, I don't see what that has to do with the test. So, have a good Day.

He got up from his seat and walked towards me, who was more than ready to leave.

Edward: Oh, but it does; Someone like him is probably teaching you the wrong things.

Satphire: You have a good day.

I said, backing up away from him

Edward: I can say you got a Zero on the test

I was on my way out the door, but that statement captured my attention

Satphire: You would lie on your degree?

Edward: I control what gets put in the system.

Satphire: Why would you do that?

Edward: Oh, come on, all the time, you've been winking at me, giggling at my jokes. Don't tell me you don't want me to.

Satphire: Winking, Giggling. I've never done such a thing.

He quickly grabbed my arm, pinning me to a nearby desk.

Satphire: Ouch...

Normally, I could dodge or push him off, but that near-death experience made me weakened and exhausted. He started taking off his shirt.

Edward: I bet you've never seen a real man's chest before.

Satphire: Let go of me!

Edward: What's the matter? You don't like it rough?

He said, pulling his pants down, lifting my skirt, and ripping my panties. I couldn't even transform or telepath. I was completely powerless.

"Help me," I said to myself.

Closing my eyes not to see what would happen. Screaming for help won't help if Noone can hear you.

Edward: It's not what it looks like. I had her consent.

Cleon: I should break your neck

Principal: What were you going to do, Mr. Edward

Edward: We are in love. Classic Romeo and Juliet.

I felt a soft and gentle touch convincing me to open my eyes.

Cleon: Are you ok? I'm sorry I was late. I had to wait for the principal. Carla's Mom had called him to verify the test.

Holding tightly to him, tears rolled down my face, unable to say anything; There was so much pain, and I was tired of looking strong. He lifts me bridal style, bringing me over to the car.

Cleon: Are you ok? Did he manage to...

I shook my head "no" while looking out the window, embarrassed by my tears. When we got home, I ran to my room and closed the door behind me. I felt scared and alone. After a while, Cleon came into my room, and I didn't want to get out from under the covers.

Cleon: Do you want some hot chocolate?

Satphire: No.

Cleon: Do you want to watch a movie?

Satphire: No.

He pulled the cover off me. To find me in a ball position. He sat next to me on the bed. His touch causes me to shake in fear.

Cleon: Come here

"No," I shook my head. He scoots over and holds me. His smell canceled everything around me. The one I love so much. The one who stops my heart with every word. I swore I would be loyal to him for the rest of my life, even if that meant he was not loyal to me. Would the one he picked be prettier than me? Would she dress better? I would like to see why her and not me. I bet they would rub their fur together while licking one another. Would I deny him even then? Even if I knew he had someone who loved him at home. If he sought me out, I wouldn't hesitate to give him every inch of my body, mind, and soul. "Oh, Cleon, how I love you." Sadly, you don't want to know my true feelings for you. As his scent filled my room, it drifted me to sleep.
