Doomed

"Well, you're doomed if you won't bring it back."

"Yeah" I nodded.

"Let's go," I didn't argue because he rested her arm in my shoulder and pulled me somewhere.

We approach the street and there are his friends whose leaning on something out of our world, gray below and black above, it's shiny as a mirror because I see myself, yeah I look like a witch.

I fix myself as I stared at my reflection.

"Pretty cool right?" Mr. Red cap guy said. "That's one of the most expensive cars in the world," There was a boast in his voice even though I didn't know what to boast about anyway.

"Stop that Bryan, you're talking like you own the car, Be ashamed to the owner." Mr. Blue's eyes said to Mr. Red Cap. "Enough talk," Mr. black pulled me. Do muggles really like pulling someone?

"Get in" - not really a gentleman, nor did open the door for me. "Where are we going?"

"To the lost and found station," - he replied without emotion. Should I trust them?

"What are you waiting for" - He was obviously just being forced, why else would they think to help me.

"If you're upset, you don't need to help me anymore, I'm fine."

"Will you be silent or will I silence you?" he said.

"Follow Ms. Pretty," The guy named Bryan said seriously, as I looked at him, he is smiling at me.

I obeyed, for now, I must be just a normal person to avoid being caught. If they ever hurt me, I would not leave them alive .. in that idea, I smiled at the absence until our eyes met in the small mirror in front.

"Don't smile at all," He said, what was wrong with my smile except that I was smiling at the absence. "Come on Huxley, maybe this is the first time she rides with a Mercedes" Bryan said beside me. "Whatever" I heard the guy named Huxley whispered. Huxley, nice name.

Bryan talked a lot but I ignored it. "Hey, look at me, almost all the girls wanted my attention, and here I am talking to a 'girl' but dare to ignore me," I just nodded as I stared outside, mastering each and every path we passed. "What is your name?"

"Sophie," I said. I realized that I had said my real name. I shouldn't have said that. I was so touched by my stupidity. "Nice name, I'm Bryan," He said as he reached out his hand and I stared at it.

Eww no, why would I hold someone's hand that catch and kill my fellow magicians?

He took back his hand. "Did you know that women are strangling just to hold my hand and then you, again, ignore it?" I just stared at him as he shook his head. "You're wasting an opportunity, don't you know how precious my body is?"

I returned my gaze on the outside and continued watching along the way. "Don't you want to ask our name?" I saw Mr. Blue peeked, actually I want to know his name. I smiled at him and looked to Huxley who's also looking at me again from the mirror.

The two corners of my lip drop quickly.

"So what's your name?" I asked Mr. Blue and smiled again since I didn't know yet his name. "I'm Finn Romano, Piacere di conoscerti, Bella signora," hey, is that his full name ?, I nodded in response even though I didn't understand what he was saying, the important is Finn was his name.

"Half Italian," he added with a smile. I remember, when our teacher taught us about the language change, that way we could represent everyone especially the griffins who could attack us.

Fortunately, I remembered it, so I cast the spell, just in my mind for them not to hear. "Piacere di conoscerti, Grazie per l'aiuto," At the height of my reply, I saw Bryan's mouth drop open beside me while Finn laughed softly.

Bryan was obviously amazed, "Cool" Acting like a kid who's seen a favorite toy.

"We are here, now get out," Huxley said.

So rude. We looked at Finn who went outside the car and opened the car door for me. Aww sweet not like Huxley. I went down and searched for what they were talking about. Lost and Found station, with a banner in it, I went inside and immediately met a woman. Its Lie time.

As I told Finn earlier, I lost my bag with a book in it. "What were you doing in the woods and how were you lost there?" Is it necessary to answer that question?

"err hmm .... for ... educational purposes? Research something like that?" the woman nodded and then proceeded to ask me again a couple of questions.

I went outside as soon as I answered all the questions. I want to use my magic but I saw them outside, they might went confused at my sudden disappearance. "Can't you walk even faster?" Huxley said while leaning against the expensive car. "Come on Sophie!" Bryan shouted from inside the car.

"W-where are we going now? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Well…" Finn look at Huxley then looked back to me, "Bryan wants to accompany you till you got home," again he smiled at me, showing his white shiny teeth. Then I was grabbed by my elbow slowly by him. But wait, what?!

"No need, it was a great help to have you here,"

"Enough talk just get in," A cold tone from Huxley echoed in my ear. You should stop talking, everyone might think that it's Christmas. I just stared at their car, didn't want to get into trouble even though I was able to escape. Huxley opens the door for me before Finn.

"Are you going in or not?" What should I do now? What home would I show to them?
