Magic Trio X Reader : The Spirit Chasers Ch. Three

A young ____ was enjoying a picnic with her parents. They had recently came back from their latest business trip, and were enjoying what little time they had left to spend with their only daughter. It was warm, and the sun was bright, in other words the weather was simply perfect. ____ was in her favorite white sun dress decorated with pink polka dots. She was eating strawberries when the juice spilled onto her dress.

“Ehh, and this was my favorite one too.” ____ began to sniffle before wailing.  ____ suddenly felt herself being lifted and met the warm gazes of her father and mother, which stopped her crying. Just looking at their soft gazes was enough to put ___ at peace, a peace she had not felt in a long time.

____ put on her World Academy uniform smiling. If there was one thing ____was good at it was school. Studying was the one thing that put her mind at ease, and the one thing that kept the spirits away as well.. Interestingly,  home and school were the only two places where ____ did not get harassed by spirits. And to top it all off she was going to the internationally prestigious World Academy, where only the children of the elite can attend.  Her parents gave her the news that they enrolled her and ____ spent the last two weeks looking forward to this day.

After eating a breakfast consisting of muffins and apple juice ____ left her penthouse apartment and walked to the school; limos were not her thing, they attracted too much attention and were very time consuming.

____  began to walk to school until she felt her breath hitch. She felt some sort of spiritual energy, but when she looked around she saw no spirits. She stopped walking   and turned her head around to see  a magic shop. Usually this would not attract her attention, but this magic shop seemed really old like the type in the Harry Potter movies her friends would watch. To be honest, ____ did not ever remember seeing this magic shop before either.  ____  did not knew what happened but the next thing she knew she was being pulled into the magic shop.

“Come on not today! I can’t be late for school!” ____ cried out repeatedly thrashing around so much that she did not notice she was already inside the shop.

“Why welcome to Ye Olde Magic Shop.” A husky yet feminine voice caught ____’s attention and she turned her head to see a tall woman with curvy yet slender figure.  Her dark auburn hair flowing and her golden eyes studying ____, all while sitting in a chair smoking on a pipe.

“Why am I here and who are you?!” ____ was beginning to get real pissed at this moment. First Arthur and his magic club, and now this lady?

“My you have many questions but I think the one you want answered the most is why do you keep running into trouble with spirits, right?” The strange woman mused.

“How did you know?” ___ asked now becoming wary of the arcane woman in front of her.

“Well you see ____ my shop is like no other shop. You see the only reason why you were pulled into here is because the shop sensed that you yearned for something greatly. In other words my shop is only visible to those who are in need of my services.” The women spoke in a very cryptic tone, one that sent chills down ____’s spine.

“But before begins state your wish.”

“I wish that spirits will no longer attack me. I just want them to stop bothering me. I just want to live a normal life.” ____ whispered solemnly.

“Alright but first there is the issue of payment.”

“How much money will it cost to grant his wish?”

“Oh money can’t buy you wishes but something you have can.” The woman was eyeing something that was on ____’s neck. A silver necklace that her parents gave her before departing on their business expenditure.

“This?! But I can’t give this up! This means so much to me my parents gave it to me the last time I saw them!”

“Look do you want spirits to stop attacking you or risk being killed by one because you can’t part with a possession?”

____ thought about it, and decided that being safe from spirits  outweighed  holding onto the  the necklace.

“Alright!” ____ begrudgingly gave the necklace to the woman who gave a coy smile in return. It took all of ____’s strength to not cry.

“Thank you, and now I shall grant your wish.” The woman then chanted a spell, and something appeared in her hand: a black bird feather. She handed it to ____ who looked at her confused.

“How will this protect me?

“It’s a feather from a powerful Japanese yokai called a Tengu. THe Tengu who gave me his feather was an amiable one too.. Shall you wear this feather around your neck and never take it off it shall serve as your protection from spirits who wish to attack or devour you.” The woman explained to ____.

“So I won’t see spirits as well?!”___ was elated that she would finally have the life she wanted.

“I’m afraid not. You see there is some strange energy inside of you that connects to the spirit world, and severing that tie will cause great harm to you.”  The women had a solemn tone in her voice as though delivering the news of someone’s death.

____ stood there not believing what was happening. Was she cursed to live a life like this? Sure she would not be attacked by them but that did not mean they could not find other means of tormenting her? When she was released from her thoughts____ realized she was no longer in the shop.

“Was it just a daydream?” ___ looked down to see she still had the feather necklace.

“I guess not.” ___  sighed and then started walking to school

The mysterious shopkeeper watched as  ___ walk away before turning around to face two young girls.

“Is this the last time we’ll see her” one of the girls asked.

“Nope I have a feeling she’ll be a frequent guest here.” Miriam the shopkeeper smirked. This whole situation was proving to be interesting.

“Class we have a new student joining us, so please make her feel welcome.” The homeroom teacher Ms. Cumberbatch beamed at the whole classroom as ____ stood at the front nervously.

“H-hi my name is ____ ____ and it’s nice to meet you all.” ___ was shaking. She was never used to being the center of attention in any situation.

“Let’s see... you can sit next to Adriano over there. Please raise your hand Adriano.”

____ laid her eyes on the most gorgeous man she ever saw. His light green eyes were mesmerizing, and his hair seemed so soft and silky to the touch. And his tanned skin was absolutely beautiful.

“____ are you alright?” Ms.Cumberbatch asked concerned.

“Oh y-yes.” ____ walked to her seat blushing.

As Ms.Cumberbatch was going over the upcoming overnight trip ___ could not help but sneak glances at the boy sitting next to her. She never felt this way before. Her heart was fluttering and her stomach was tied in knots, but she still felt some sort of happiness. ___ thoughts were soon interrupted by the bell. She got up and headed to her first class: English Literature. She looked over her shoulder to see that Adriano was headed in the opposite direction. She headed on her way disappointed that she could not share her first class with him.

Unfortunately, ____ entered her class to see the last person she wanted to run into, Arthur Kirkland.
