My heart stopped then as the intensity in the room spiked tremendously. Lisette lowered her arms before her expression grew so dangerously cold, I shivered at the mere side glance of it.
"It was a little intriguing to see that you were absent for your exam that was supposed to be the same time as Brianne's due to a reported panic attack you had at home, which Officer Waters called to report," she revealed. "What was even more intriguing was the fact that you were on campus and dragged a very suspicious black bag from a car with three other associates, one of them looking very similar to Elijah Hamilton."
With a snap of her fingers, a projection screen formed on the left side of the room, prompting all of us to look at the very video of Elisha quickly getting out of the back of a car with three others.
The two taller males were extremely hard to identify because of their black-on-black attire and hooded heads, but Elijah was obvious from the mere way he walked with his hood down to reveal his silky, messy strands.
He looked agitated just by his body posture alone as he seemed to order the others and Elisha to hurry up and take the large bag that clearly resembled a body bag from the car and into the back private entrance of the school building student council members and staff go through.
"This is the recent footage that the Witchling Star Agency and the Secretary and Treasurer of Witchling Academy were able to retrieve from the 'broken' camera located in this lot. I'm sure none of you decided to look into it since it's been labeled down for months in the records. Little did any of you know that it was fixed by the twins in the student council the same day one of the mafia leaders was arrested on the property."
Lisette clapped her hands and smiled.
"So to wrap this all up, not only were you involved and a direct participant in the killing of Leia, you aided in setting up Elijah's intrusion in Brianne's exam, were the culprit of the lies spread about Mr. Rosedale regarding being raped, set up Elijah at the scene of the bridge, were in the car with Eliza seconds before teleporting out of it, set Eliza up, manipulated your father, Officer Waters, to do your bidding while being the instigator of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse to Eliza, the culprit of your mother's disappearance, and you lied during this entire court hearing under oath," she summarized. "I'm probably missing a few other major points, but again, I have the official folder with all your crimes with attached evidence for all the judges to review as well as the jury and magic council," she concluded. "Is that enough?"
Elisha growled and jumped up onto her chair as she pulled out a pen and pressed the top part of it. I wasn't going to react until I noticed the blinking part of it. She ran right off the platform as she threw the pen past Lisette, who quickly spun and summoned her umbrella, which swiftly turned into a scythe.
"MewMew!" Elsa came out of nowhere. Her sound was followed with a bounce off my head and suddenly she was catching the pen in her mouth.
"ELSA!" I shrieked and was up and jumping to catch her before she hit the ground. The sudden spike in my heartrate sent me jolting through a spinning sensation, until I crashed into someone, which made us both grunt as well as fall to the ground.
"What the fuck?" four deep voices declared before I scrambled off the person and looked over to see that Elsa was on the shoulder of someone and the pen was bouncing along the grass.
"BOMB! It's a bomb!" I announced and pointed to the pen to get everyone's attention. "Get rid of it!"
"Shadow Jade!" the voice beneath me commanded, and the girl Elsa was perched on giggled before she summoned a large black scythe and hit the pen like it was a golf ball.
"KILL.KILL-" she began to sing as the pen went soaring across the sky before it suddenly exploded, cutting her off as we all watched in shock. "BOOM!" she cheered and put her hands up in pride. "Jade Mommy! We win! KILL!"
She looked back at us with pride, while Elsa happily joined in the cheering,
"MewMew!!!"
"Hmm." Shadow Jade looked at my kitten before petting her head gently. "Pretty kitty! Not kill!" she declared.
"Mawe?"
I lowered my gaze to see the two cats from the library as they walked over to Shadow Jade to acknowledge Elsa, who purred happily before noticing them. Her big eyes blinked before she hopped right down and began happily running around the two cats that were still analyzing her.
We all seemed to be captivated by the sight before all eyes went on me. That's when I noticed the four identical men standing to my left in school uniforms.
"Um..." I stared at them with a nervous smile before I slightly waved my hand. "Hello."
"Look what you did, Zackery," the one on the far right announced with a sigh as he crossed his bulky arms. "You had to go summoning a damn person from the sky."
"I didn't do shit, Zeus! You’re always blaming me for every mishap in this universe," Zackery complained.
"Well, ya," the one next to Zackery stated as he pulled out a pair of glasses and began cleaning the glass. "Can you blame him? You’ve started summoning the most random shit lately."
"Zion! You're supposed to be on my side. We're twins."
"In terms of magic qualities, yes, but clearly the creative gods saved me from your stupidity," Zion concluded.
"Stupidity and uselessness," the third guy between Zeus and Zion declared with a seductive smile. "Thankfully I’m a balance of everything."
"Balance my foot!" Zackery barked. "You're a manipulative fucker who masturbates all the damn time!"
"So you're jealous of my amazing stamina and continuous sexual activity," he concluded. "Don't blame you. I'd be jealous of myself, too."
"Zeke," Zion and Zeus groaned. "We have company."
"What?" He shrugged and looked over to me. "We like to talk about sex, masturbation, and other rated R stuff in public. You good?"
"S-Sure?" I concluded.
"See?" Zeke concluded. "She's chill."
"That's not how you introduce yourself to a girl who came from the fucking sky!" Zackery exclaimed. "With a cute orange cat!"
"Uh, she's pink," Zion pointed out.
"What? No. She's orange!" Zackery argued.
"Nah, she's pink," Zeke voiced.
"Are you two blind?" Zeus questioned. "She's orange."
"What?" Zion and Zeke questioned. "She's fucking pink!"
"No! She's orange!" Zackery and Zeus argued.
Within seconds, they were going at it, while Elsa was happily playing with the two cats. Shadow Jade began skipping around happily singing a song that went along the lines of “Kill. Kill. KILL!”
"Didn't think I'd see you so soon, but I guess your universe had other plans."
I finally acknowledged the woman I'd fallen upon, my head turning to face her - noticing our faces were inches apart. She gave me a confident smirk as her black orbs danced in amusement.
"Jade!" I greeted and then covered my mouth for being too loud. "Sorry. Uh...hi, again. Yes, this was totally unexpected, and I have no idea how I got here."
"You fell from the sky," she acknowledged. "Calvin did say something was off suddenly."
