Cackles Academy for Witches (Shadow and Natalie)

"ONYX!" Natalie yelled frantically as HB raised her arms to cast a spell.

Looking down, Onyx saw HB and said something to the pagasus, who flared its wings, landing perfectly in a gallop on the tarmac. Onyx sat down sidesaddle, and the horse walked over to HB, the rider looking very guilty.

"THIS IS THE MOST VULGER STATE OF ACTROBATICS I HAVE EVER SEEN! MISS CACKLES OFFICE! NOW!" Hardbroom boomed.

Natalie looked at HB...

"Please...she didn't mean to...um...it's my fault really...I told her to do this..." said Natalie quietly.

"Is this true!" Hardbroom demanded of Onyx.
Natalie was nodding frantically for Onyx to say yes.

"No." Onyx said. She (hardly) ever lied. She dismounted, and sent the rather dejected looking pegasus back to the forest.

Natalie opened the mind connect.

Shadow...come here...please

Natalie looked at Hardbroom.

"I'm going to go with her then..." she said, "to Miss Cackle..."

Shadow strode round the corner, an undazed Archangel following her.

Onyx looked at her feet.

"It wasn't her fault..." Natalie whispered to Shadow.

"ONYX HAZEL WOLF ROTH." Shadow said quietly, but her voice had an authoritive ring to it. "What have I told you a million times about flying without Shaeman or me around!"

Onyx had a very strange fascination with her shoes as she nodded silently.

"It was actually my fault..." said Natalie, "well...actually...Ethal Hallow's...you need to talk to HB Shad...she's hopping mad..."

"I'm not surprised with the stunts she pulled." Shadow said, turning to HB.

"Yes well....it is against the standards of the school!" said HB insistantly.

Shadow nodded.
"I understand, and Onyx will not be doing this again."

"I should not have encouraged it..." sighed Natalie.

"You probably didn't." Shadow said.

"I did..." said Natalie, "even ask your daughter...Onyx...what was I doing when you were on the flying horse?"

"Watching." Onyx muttered.

"And cheering..." said NAtalie...

Onyx shrugged.

Natalie sighed.

"Well...I was...she just didn't see me because she was doing what she loves..." said Natalie defensively.

Shadow sighed.
"What am I going to do with the pair of you?"

"Um...nothing that involves biting my boodie off...I am rather attached to it..." said Natalie fearfully.

"I meant Archangel and Onyx." Shadow said.

"Oh...um...ok then...I'll go over there..." said NAtalie, stepping away.

Shadow sighed, for once looking her true age. She was tired, and had had pretty much enough of life itself. She strode away, back to her infirmary.

Natalie followed, dragging the girls with her.

"Shadow...please...donn't leave me alone with them..." said Natalie.
