Chapter 7 - She's sketchy

As the carriage rattled along the road, and the it was really dark outside, Gabriel, Astoria and Arron just sat there not talking with each other, suddenly Gabriel with his usual cold and indifferent tone up,

Astoria, did you see that girl that confessed to Tristan? What's her name?

Astoria look at him with a bit of a surprise that he asked that but says anyways,

Yeah, hubby her name is Juniper Rose.

Gabriel nods and in response says,

Me and Alexander don't have a good idea of the outcome that's going to happen.

Astoria and Arron nod in understanding and Arron speaks up,

How are you sure of what's going to happen?

He asks carefully,

Is a instinct so is not fully correct i think but i think something bad is going to happen.

He responds indifferently looking out the window. Suddenly Astoria wraps her arms around his chest pulling herself closer to his back,

Hubby, i feel tired when we get home can you tell my mom i went sleep?

Gabriel nods understanding that she is extremly tired, Astoria looks up at him with soft and gentle eyes, her eyes drooping and closing automatically but shr keeps them open to look at him one last time before going to sleep, he turns around and lays her down keeping her head on his lap, but she get closer, and now he's holding the top half of her body close to his body and the bottom half is curled up like she's cold or just wants to be close with him, her arms softly wrapped around his chest, she's bresthing softly knowing she's protected by the one she trusts the most, and she's once again in the very blissful state she always is,

She looks so happy with you Gabriel, ypur lucky.

He lokks up at him,

I know she looks happy, she loves being attached to me, sometimes holding her is like holding a new born baby, not much chaos at the start.

Arron nods and smiles slightly seeing his sister being so delicate with Gabriel, trusting him to the point to even sleep around him without second thought, the horse stops for a quick rest which allow Astoria's sleep to deepen alot more, she holds onto Gabriel with her slender fingers,touching his back gently not letting go whatsoever,

She's holding onto me like a teddy bear

Gabriel comments indifferenty his voice never fluctuating through emotions,

Yeah a big emotionless teddy bear.

Gabriel nods holding onto Astoria gently not trying to accidentally hurt her. Soon they make it back to the palace and get off the carriage, before entering he feeds and makes sure the horse is nicely taken care of, having a nice meal and housing, then he walks in being instantly greeted by his mum, who hugs his tightly but softly,

Oh cupcake i missed you so much. Your and

Your sister worry me so much, please tell me you haven't gotten in trouble.

Arron looks at his mother with a soft smile and says,

No need to worry so much mom were fine, and no we didn't get in trouble.

Soon enough Gabriel walks in carrying a sleeping Astoria in his arms,

Hi madam.

Queen Astroma gets closer seeing how beautifully Astoria is sleeping in Gabriel's arms, Queen Astroma smiles a warm and gentle smile, kissing the top of her daughter's forehead,

Gabriel you two can go sleep now.

Gabriel nods and decides to go to sleep laying Astoria down next to him and seea her curl up next to him seeking warmth. The night passes fairly quickly and the next day is already here and they are all ready to go to the academy, so they quickly leave. On ghe way there Astoria hums a soft tune for Gabriel, with gentle and warmthful sounds, as they reach the grand building they get off the carrige and start walking inside where they find Fegenda and Gridtan waiting for them,

Hey Astoria over here!

Fegenda says with extreme happiness in her voice, and Astoria quickly runs up and hugs her,

Let's have a good day again.

Fegenda laughs and nods, hugging her back gently, meanwhile Alexander walks closer, standing next to Fegenda,

Hey Fegenda.

He says with a calm tone, Fegenda jumps slightly because she didnt expect him to be behind her but she quickly turns around and hugs him,

Don't scare me lile that dummy, your so mean.

Alexander returns the hug,

Come on is not even my fault you got scared.

Fegenda pouts but doesn't say anything to him, Astoria giggles softly seeing their interaction,

Hubby they are cute aren't they?

Gabreil nods slightly which makes Astoria happy, meanwhile in the background Tristan and Arron are talking with each other laughing and giggling, they all decide to walk to class and sit near eachother, Astoria is sat next to Gabriel, and Fegenda next to Alexander, but the girls are sat to each other, whilst Arron and Tristan are sat to Gabriel's left still chatting with each other as they take notes, suddenly a sharp voice cut through the air stopping their conversation,

Is this seat taken?

Merrygold is behind Tristan holding the chair next to him with a somber expression, he's about to nod when Juniper takes the seat "accidentally" knocking Merrygold down, which pisses her off but tries not to do anything, and sits a few chsirs away from everyone, Tristan seems surprised by the event but tries not to do anything about it feeling sorry for Merry gold,

Hi Juniper.

He says with a soft smile, meanwhile Gabriel and Alexander still don't find her to be all trustable in their eyes, without anyone noticing Juniper throws disgusted looks at Gabriel and Merrygold which obviously indicates that she despises anyone who isn't royalty, meanwhile Astoria takes notes whilst making sure Gabriel understands the lesson, her soft teachings make Arron and the others understand as well and when Astoria got something wrong and didn't understand it Fegenda would help out both of then made everyone's life easier so they undestood the lesson way better, and after a while of a beatifully explaoned lesson by the girls is time for magic training, Tristan and Fegenda have fire magic, Arron and Astoria have ice magic, and Alexander has blood and dark flames, Merrygold had inverse earth magic, and Juniper had love lashes, the whole class went outside to train but Gabriel just stood to the side,

Mr, Blackheart may i get enlightened on why you aren't joining us today.

The voice of Mr Amon shoot through the field which caused over classes to stop what they are doing just to here the answer of Gabriel, Astoria shoot Gabriel a encouraging glances, whilst the poison in Juniper's eyes intensified wanting to know why a wretch like him is doing in her class,

You want me to enlighten you on this matter?

He asked indiffefently,

Precisely, and you have no over 5 seconds to say so or i'll send you to the headmasters themsleves.

Gabriel let the seconds run down till the final one,

I do not posses any magical capabilites or abilities for I do not have to or even can participate in this activity.

His voice cold as he spoke his answer,

Very well.

Mr Amon nodded pleased with the answer.

Juniper's eyes grew wide with posionous intent as much of other student but one look from him could kill,

She's still sketchy.
