The Mystic Academy

Chapter 10

(Umbrielle's POV)

As I was listening to Urania give out the man's life story I couldn't believe what I heard. How tragic would it be to kill your own mate because he or she went and killed your child? I wouldn't be able to cope either. I could understand why he would need Urania. Before any of us could recover from the shock and say something, the early students started to pile into the dining room.

Before we knew it students were flocking around us, mother and father distanced themselves from us as well. I wanted to get to know the guys hanging around us, until they opened their mouths.

"Eww, look what the dog dragged in." The red head said with a sneer.

"Maybe the blood sucker brought the bag of bones." The black haired boy chuckled in amusement.

"Let's just throw her out with the trash and clear our view of the dead body." The white haired boy scoffed before turning his back on Urania.

How dare these arrogant boys belittle my sister. I was fuming with rage, ready to tear the boys piece by piece. How can Urania just sit there calmly, as if they weren't talking s**t about her?

'Let's teach them a lesson, I wouldn't mind to bite my fangs into a few of them.' Thana, my vampire, chuckled sadistically. I wasn't sure if all vampires were like this but I knew mine was. She had a sadistic side with a flirtatious vibe as well.

'No one picks on Urania and gets away with it. I don't care what kingdom they are from, today they will learn what our kingdom can do.' Anala, my dragon, roared in rage, ready to take each of them high into the air and let them drop to their deaths.

"Do. Not. Speak. To. My. Sister. That. Way." Uriel said through gritted teeth, as he annunciated every single word.

"Wow, man. Sorry that pile of bones is your sister." The red head chuckled before he was cut off with an upper cut to his jaw. I climbed over his fallen body, as I peered down at him and to think I thought these ones were cute. Not anymore.

"Say another word about our sister and I will release my little vamp to suck all that poisoned blood out of you." I whispered sadistically, as I allowed Thana to appear through my eyes. The red head shudder in fear, as I licked my fangs in front of him. I felt a small hand land on my shoulder, as I flicked my eyes to the culprit. Urania.

"Let him go Umbrielle. They have done nothing to deserve any pain or your rage. I am not upset, they are allowed to have their own opinion." Urania said softly, as she pulled me away from the red head. I knew I shouldn't let my anger get the better of me but I couldn't control it sometimes, mostly when Urania wasn't around. "Uriel, leave it be."

"You can't allow them to say those things about you Urania, I won't allow it." Joel said as he stood next to my sister. I wanted to tell him to shut up, we had her back but before I could say anything Urania spoke up.

"Did it hurt me? Is it affecting me? Many people pick on me, it makes them feel better about their own lives. If it helps them cope with what they are going through in their own lives then let them be. Anyway I can help, I will." Urania explained to Joel before walking away with a limp. She shouldn't be walking on that broken leg at all but stubborn little Urania does as she pleases. Mother started to protest before I wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

"Let her be, we all know hoe Urania is. It's not walking over her, its helping." I said while rolling my eyes at my sisters antics. Mother glanced at me before nodding in understanding. She would leave her alone for now, for how long though was another story.

'I am going after Urania, keep the others back, including Joel.' Uriel mind linked me, making me scoff in annoyance. I would have liked to be involved but instead Uriel pushed me to the back burner once again. I skipped over to Joel, looping my arm within his. He looked at me like I grew two heads and right now I was starting to wonder if I did as well. I was becoming cozy with the man who kidnapped my sister three years ago. How much could he have actually changed?

"Can I help you?" He questioned me as if I was the literal plague clinging onto him. Everyone knows I am the attractive, outgoing one in our family. No one could resist my charm but it seemed this man could. Why was he different?

"Oh yeah. I was just hoping you could tell me how my sister was for the last three years." I asked hesitantly, for the first time in my life scared I couldn't do what my brother asked me to do.

"Ask your sister." The bear of a man said coldly before shaking my hand off his arm and taking off. How the hell did he resist me? I pulled out every charm I had.

'He is on his way, my charm didn't work on him.' I told Uriel through the mind link, still baffled how he was able to pull that off.

'To late, he already showed up and pulled her away from me.' Uriel said with annoyance through the link.

How did that bear of a man move that fast? I wonder if I should talk to mother and father about this or try to figure it out by myself first.

'Mother and father have enough to deal with, lets figure this out without them for now.' Anala said with certainty as if she was a well known investigator.

I left the dining room, heading towards me bedroom that was next to Urania's room. As I walked by hers, I slowed myself down when I heard their voices raising.

"You need to keep something to yourself little bug, not everyone will understand the way you do. How could you let those boys walk all over you Nia?" Joel yelled with concern in his voice.

"Why would others not understand? I understand completely and can explain on your behalf. As you say about others, you just don't understand. People who say rude and mean comments to me aren't happy with something in their lives. I am willing to take the brunt of their anger if it helps them move forward with their lives. One day, they will look back and learn a lesson from everything they have went through. Being mean, hurting them or doing the same to them they are doing to me will not make any situation better. You know me better than that Joel. Also from your words it seems I need to remind you that I am not your daughter, I am your friend. Your daughter forgives you and it is time to move on Joel. We can move on now." Urania said calmly, seeming to even be happy. Someone could be beating my sister and she would still find the good side of others. She always thinks there is a lesson in everything.

"I know, I know little bug i am just concerned for you, that's all. How can you see the positive in everything Nia?" Joel asked incredulously, as I heard movements within the room. If I had to guess right I would say he sat down. Maybe we shouldn't be listening to their private conversation.

'Yes we should How are we supposed to protect Urania without doing this?' Thana asked angrily, making me continue listening without regret.

"There is only positive in this world Joel, everything else are lessons to strengthen our minds. The Goddess would never give one what they cannot handle. When things fall off track, the Goddess sends a helper in her place." Urania said encouragingly, as if she was the Goddess herself. How did her mind grow so wildly as her body constantly failed her?

As I heard footsteps coming towards the door, telling me I missed something in the conversation I quickly scurried off before I could be caught by one of them. I knew Urania wouldn't have mind but I still didn't trust that Joel guy.
