Talia

“NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOO!” I found myself screaming that word over and over again as the dream faded and I found myself back in my class. Still screaming and crying profusely. There were several people around me as they looked down at me with concern and worry in their eyes. Some of them looked scared while others looked intrigued.
Most of them weren’t saying anything though. They were just watching me. Ada was there though, grabbing at one of my hands that was moving wildly around in my frantic state. And my teacher was there as well, Mr. Amadeus.
“Talia? Talia, are you OK? Talia, calm down.” He was grabbing at my other hand to stop me from hitting someone.
“NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!” I was still screaming the words.
…..
“Everyone out, now. Class is dismissed. Go!” Mr. Amadeus spoke curtly to the other students. I could hear him, but I couldn’t stop myself from freaking out the way that I was.
“Talia? Are you OK?” Ada wasn’t leaving me as the others were told to get out. And it didn’t look like Mr. Amadeus was going to force her out. She was trying to help instead of watching on like I was some kind of freak.
“Talia, it’s OK. It’s OK. You’re in class, nothing bad is happening now. It’s OK. Shh. Shh.” He was trying to soothe me with a calming tone to his voice. “Talia! Look at me. Come on, look at me. Shh. Calm down and look at me.” He let go of my hand and reached to grab my face, gently holding onto my cheeks and forcing me to look into his eyes. I hadn’t been blinking, this whole time I had been freaking out my eyes never closed once. And I was still not blinking when I settled my gaze onto him. “Shh. See, it’s OK. You’re OK. You’re in class and nothing is happening. It’s OK. Calm down now, OK.”
As he was trying to calm me down more, I heard the door to the classroom bang open and someone angrily came inside.
“Mr. Amadeus, what is the meaning of this? Your class is all in the halls instead of learning.” The principal, a relatively strict warlock named Mr. Bane, scolded him, however I assume that he saw what was happening and softened his tone almost immediately. “What is going on in here? What is happening to Princess Talia?”
“She was in a trance of sorts. I am guessing that she was seeing a vision but it wasn’t a pleasant one. I haven’t gotten her to speak yet. I am still calming her down.” He spoke curtly to the principal as he steadied my head and forced me to look at him. Mr. Amadeus was also a warlock, one that had been around for a long time. I felt like he was trying to make eye contact with me so that he could use his magic on me. “Talia, look at me.” He was speaking to me once again, his voice calm and soothing. “Look at me, Talia.” Finally, his amber colored eyes locked onto mine and I felt a rush of his magic, just for a moment. “Shh. Shh. See, it’s OK.”
I finally blinked. My arms finally stopped struggling to fly around me and beat at the people that were inside of my head. I took a deep breath, something that I must have been neglecting since it felt like my lungs were starved for air.
“Huuuuuuuh.” The sound of my breath coming into my oxygen deprived body was very audible. And in that moment, I finally felt like I was out of that dream.
“There we go. That’s better now. It’s OK, Talia. You’re back in school now. That vision can’t hurt you. You’re OK.” I felt him stroking the side of my head as if I was a cat or something. “Shh. See, all is OK now.”
“I..I..I am so sorry.” I immediately apologize for the problems that I caused. “I..I..I d..didn’t mean f..f..for this t..to happen.” I was stuttering as I tried to slow my heart rate down. Everything else seemed almost back to normal except for that.
“It’s OK, Talia. I understand. You are more special than the other students in that fact that you have abilities that none of us do. You are like your mother, special beyond our wildest dreams. I know you didn’t choose to have a vision just now, but it happened. We just need to deal with it for now, OK. Are you feeling better now?” My heart was almost back to normal. My breathing was steady, and I was awake. That was as good as I was going to get, since I would never forget what I had seen.
“Y..yes, I am OK now.” I tried to nod, but Mr. Amadeus was holding onto my head so I couldn’t. He seemed to notice though, so he let his hands fall away and backed up a little bit.
“That’s good. I am glad that you are feeling better now.” He smiled calmly. “You should go home though. I think that it would be best for you to go and discuss this with your parents. You know that they will want to know what happened.” He rose to his feet. “Would you like me to call them?”
“They are in a meeting. I w..will just call my bodyguard. He will come to get me. And I will tell my parents when they are out of their meeting.” I wasn’t going to hide this from them. I knew that I needed to tell them what happened.
“Very well then. Which guard do you want me to call?” He reached for his phone. I wondered then if all my teachers had the phone numbers for my two guards.
“Alexio.” He was the one that I wanted to come and get me. He was the one that I felt the most at ease with. Not that Rudy wasn’t a good man, but Lex was different. He was calming for me.
“Alright.” Mr. Amadeus dialed a number and handed me the phone. It rang only twice before it was answered by Lex’s deep voice.
“Amadeus, what is wrong?” He sounded worried.
“Lex, it’s me.” I knew I didn’t need to give my name.
“Talia? What happened? Why are you calling from your teacher’s phone?” I could already hear him walking on the other end of the call.
“I..I had something happen in class today. C..c..can you come and get me? I need to go home.”
“Yes, I am on my way. I will be there soon.” He sounded like he was already in the echoing garage where the cars were parking under the castle. “Just stay calm and wait for me. See you in a few minutes.”
“Thank you, Lex.” I wanted to cry again. “Please hurry.” I ended the call and handed it back to Mr. Amadeus.
“There, that will be better. Now, let us get you to the office. Can you walk?” He sounded like he was still worried about me as he put his phone away.
“I..I think so.” I went to stand up but found that my body was feeling very weak. I start to fall over almost immediately. If it wasn’t for Mr. Amadeus, I would have tumbled down the stairs of the lecture hall all the way to the lectern.
“Whoa there.” He caught me and steadied me before I could get hurt. “It looks like you need some help.” He swung me up into his arms effortlessly and started to carry me toward the door. “Ada, can you get her things for me, please.” He didn’t look back at my friend that had been watching.
“Oh, yeah, sure.” She started to gather them and then followed us on a jog.
“Mr. Bane, I will be taking her to the office now. I am sorry that I dismissed my class early, it was sort of an emergency though.” The principal followed us out of the room and looked worried. I probably looked how I felt, embarrassed.
“No, it’s quite alright, Mr. Amadeus. This was necessary.”
The principal actually ran ahead of us and made sure that the hall was clear all the way to the office. He even held the door for us as Mr. Amadeus carried me inside and set me in a chair near the door.
“Here we are.” He said as he stood back up. “Are you feeling OK? Would you like something to drink or to eat? I know that after visions sugar usually helps to perk people right back up.”
“I..I don’t know.” I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head at the same time. “I don’t feel much like eating right now, so I guess no.”

“OK then, you should eat when you get home then. Have someone get you something with a lot of sugar in it. Your body is going to need it.”
“I will, Mr. Amadeus, thank you.” I nodded at him, happy that he was being so helpful.
“Of course, Talia. I am worried about you, after all. And if you don’t mind, I will gather your work for the day and bring it by later. I would like to talk with your parents, if they are willing to meet with me. I know that they are very busy people though.”
“I will set it up.” I heard a deep voice from near the door. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that he was there sooner. Lex’s scent should have hit me sooner, but I was somehow not picking it up yet. Maybe my mind was still all messed up from the vision. “I know that they will want more details about this later, as will I.”
“Of course, Mr. Ptolemy. I would be grateful if you did that. Please, send me a message or call me when it is time for me to head over. I will have the work ready for Princess Talia then.”
“Thank you.” Lex said as he was already walking over to me, and I saw that he was looking worried and angry. He wasn’t mad at me. Or at anyone really. He was just mad that something happened that he hadn’t been able to protect me from. He took his job very seriously.
“Hello Lex.” I looked up at him, which was a considerable distance to tilt my head back.
“Talia, are you OK?” His voice was gentle when he spoke to me now.
“I am, but I feel weak.” I told him as I tried to get up. This time I couldn’t even make myself stand.
“I will carry you.” He reached down and lifted me gently into his arms. “Just rest against me and you will be fine.”
“U..uh..uhm, M..M..Mr. Alexio, Sir, I have Talia’s things here.” Ada had put it all into my backpack for me. “There might be more in her locker though.”
“I will take this for now.” He took the bag as he carried me in just one arm.
“Talia, can I have Ada access your locker for you?” Mr. Amadeus asked in a concerned voice. “To bring it home for you?”
“There is nothing in there. I was getting my textbooks as I went to each class and hadn’t put anything into my locker yet.” I explained it to him.
“Ahh, understood. Then I will get the rest of your books and bring them to you later. Go home and rest now.” His tone was also concerned and worried about me.
“Thank you, Mr. Amadeus.”
“Of course, Talia.”
Now that I was in Lex’s arms, I knew that it was time to leave. He made his way out of the office and toward the door that was thankfully right there. There was no need to worry that someone was going to see him carrying me unless they were looking out the window. And even then, Lex was so much bigger than me that they were likely to only see him. That was good, there were going to be enough rumors already, with those that had seen me freak out in the classroom.
