"I don't care; it's a problem that might affect the world in a very negative way."
"I don't care; it's a problem that might affect the world in a very negative way."
"Okay, I get that, but what is it?"
Zackary huffed. "Demons are steadily leaking out of Hell from a rip in between our worlds. A lot of them are blending in really easily, causing more crimes, and… just general mayhem." He sighed. "Look, I know it sounds really cliche, and made up, but it's true."
"Damn…" She mumbled. "What other people?"
"Other Elementalists I've seen around the area." Zackary straightened his posture again.
She nodded. "Okay. I'm in."
Zackary nodded at her, his respect for her intensifying. "I like how well you took that. Perhaps… you took it too well. Anyway, Cameron?" He looked over at the tall brunet.
Cameron was leaned against the fridge, his hands in his pockets. "I suppose."
She smiled slightly. "Hey, if it feels like the start of a fantasy novel, might as well follow through to the conclusion."
Zackary sighed and shook his head. "Look, I know it sounds tacky (the person who made up the plot sucks at plots). But it's very real."
"I know, I know. I just didn't want to look completely crazy."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing."
Zackary squinted at her. "Mhmm… anyway, come back every once in a while and we can talk more about it."
She nodded. "I can probably sneak back after school. Make up some random project or something."
Zackary nodded while Cameron looked concerned.
"Look, don't try and get in trouble trying to see us. We understand if you won't be able to make it."
She shook her head. "Hey, I'll get in trouble for something anyway. Might as well be for this."
Cameron sighed gently. "If you say so."
Zackary grunted. "Look, I'm finding myself agreeing with Cameron. It's kinda a stupid thing to throw away some of your freedom."
Sage smirked. "I won't if I'm finally becoming the lady I could be and doing such a nice project!" She said in a falsetto voice, making a face.
Cameron raised an eyebrow as Zackary grunted softly with a laugh.
"I get it, but kid, seriously, you can't risk it."
"Can. Seriously, I've had this one project done for weeks that I could show them."
Zackary leaned back onto the balls of his feet. "What if it doesn't work, huh? What if they call your teacher?"
"The project is actually due… I just snuck a peek at the lesson plan so I could get it over with." She said. "Mainly because that teacher makes the worst fucking projects."
Zackary waved a finger at Sage. "I like you."
Sage smiled. "Why, thank you."
Zackary grinned at Cameron, who glared at him fiercely. Zackary's grin faltered but didn't fade.
