"The whole land that was designated for your exam was threaded with electric explosives.”
We all gawked at him before turning to Professor Phoenix, who lightly shrugged. "Not the worst I've seen."
That only made us stare at her with large eyes while Luna hopped onto the bed to sit next to Elsa. "Meow."
"Yes, Luna. I got rid of the ones that were beneath Jax, my sister, and the rest of the area nearby while Professor Phoenix cleared up the rest of the vast area to ensure no one stepped on one and triggered them. They were probably timed. I wouldn't be surprised. But yes."
"Do you think that was also Elijah?" Finnick asked.
"No." Fuwa shook his head as his eyes darkened. "That's god foul play. Meaning, someone who shouldn't be on the dark side is and Professor Phoenix and I need to figure out who and why."
"MewMew!" Elsa stood up as if she were ready to go on an adventure.
"No."
"MewMew!"
"You're not even two years old. Sit down."
"MEWMEWMEWMEW!"
"Don't argue with me."
MewMew!" Elsa's body began to glow until she was pink again with gold and orange static around her.
"Aww, you're making her mad," Professor Phoenix teased.
"She can't come," Fuwa whined. "It's already a pain on Brianne's magic to have me going around in my older form to do godly stuff. Don't need both of us draining her.”
As if triggering my yawn, my mouth opened up as I covered my mouth. "I'm not tired," I defended, and he rolled his eyes again.
"Sure."
"Why does Elsa wanna go?" Jax genuinely asked.
"Princess Elsa likes to be helpful," he replied.
"Then is that why you call Elsa ‘Princess Elsa’?" I asked.
"I call her Princess Elsa because she's your child," he bluntly replied.
My eyes blinked a few times, just like Jax, the two of us completely frozen while the others seemed to look between us, Fuwa, and Elsa.
Elsa looked between us before she sat down and tilted her head slightly. "MewMew?"
Fuwa frowned and then looked over to Professor Phoenix.
"Did I fuck something up?"
Professor Phoenix smirked and let out a long sigh. "They would have found out sooner or later but if you wanna feel bad for spilling the beans then yes, you fucked up."
"What?!" Finnick, Connor, and Kaito declared.
"What do you mean Elsa is Bri's child?!" Finnick inquired.
"Who’s the father?" Kaito asked in amusement.
"That's obviously going to be Jax," Connor pointed out. "We'd all die if he wasn't first."
Jax began to blush before he looked at his brotherly friends.
"Hey! I-I'm right here! I wouldn't kill you guys!"
The three of them looked back at him with blank expressions that clearly read 'Yes. You. Would.' He groaned while running his hand through his hair, clearly out of nerves.
"Would not," he muttered as if he wanted the last word in this hidden debate.
I was still processing the first revelation, the thought leaving me speechless while my eyes slowly lowered to Elsa.
Elsa...is my child?
As if sensing my stare, she turned around and ran over to my crossed legs. Hopping onto them, she sat down with pride as her big eyes stared up into mine.
"MewMew!"
I slowly picked her up and lifted her little body to eye level so I could take a better look into her eyes. The joy flickering in her eyes was even more intense than usual, and she wiggled her body happily while her fur kept shifting between pink and orange-gold.
"You're my child," I whispered, still feeling astonished by the idea. "How?"
I lowered her into a hug against my chest before I looked to Fuwa for answers. Jax placed his hand on my knee, squeezing it slightly as if to give me some of his strength as we both focused front and center.
Fuwa looked at Professor Phoenix again, and it looked like they were debating on what they could say. Professor Phoenix sighed and snapped her fingers once.
I noticed how Finnick, Connor, and Kaito seemed to be frozen in time, leaving me confused as I scrunched my face and looked from side to side.
"We're not supposed to reveal this much to them yet," Professor Phoenix declared. "I'm willing to bend the rules to tell both of you, but the others can only know that much. They'll get to learn the details later on once you've all graduated, but we can at least tell you a little bit."
I looked at Jax as he met my eyes. The mere glimpse wasn't something I could hold off knowing until graduation and I could tell Jax was having similar thoughts. Moving one of my hands from holding
