"When was the last time you summoned your familiar?" Braxton asked.
"Wait, Kage has a familiar?" I asked.
"We both do. Only Zane doesn't have one," Kage revealed.
I looked back at Braxton who was observing the other students’ failed attempts.
"You never said you had a familiar. Or you, Kage," I pointed out, turning to him.
"You never asked,” they both said in unison.
I let out a huff, moving over to sit on one of the large rocks near the fence.
"Alright, Secret Brothers. One of you has to show me your familiar. My female side requests it," I stressed.
I wasn't worried about anyone hearing me since we were the only ones on this side of the field, but I was seriously intrigued to know what familiar they both had.
"We weren’t keeping it a secret," Braxton defended. I gave him a glare and he gave a cute pout as he looked everywhere but at me.
I turned back to Kage who sighed.
"Guess I can let Koa out. He's a show off though...hmmm."
"Koa?" I asked, like the name.
Alice. ALICE!
"What...do...you...want...with...my...soul?"She fluttered her feathers, opening her eyes slightly to glare at me.
Don't give me that look. Kage is gonna summon his familiar!
"So? He's probably like the rest of these ones. I'm not interested."
I had to fight not to roll my eyes.
That's your lack of sleep talking. Stay awake for a bit.
"This better be good or I want ice cream,"she mumbled.
You can have ice cream regardless, but sure.
I turned my attention back to Kage who had his eyes closed in concentration.
We waited two minutes and by that time Alice was already nodding off. Braxton walked over to me, picking Alice off my shoulder before she fell off. He sat down next to me as we continued to wait for Kage to summon his familiar.
"Does it always take this long?" I questioned.
Braxton nodded while Alice hopped in his hand before she shifted. Light surrounded her and when it dimmed, it revealed a kitten.
"Hmm. Been a while since she's changed into a kitten." I mused, petting her small head.
"Meow,” she replied."I want you to have a picture of Braxton holding a kitten for imagination purposes,"she stated proudly and I almost choked on my saliva.
Alice!
"Not here,"she replied, curling up in Braxton's hand and pretended to be asleep.
I groaned, crossing my arms as I glared at her.
