EP.42|Revertago! Dog-ago?

In Chemistry of Sorcery class, CJ sat her bag down next to the famous son of Peter Pan; Philip Pan and sat next to him. “Oh joy, you’re here.” CJ goraned. “Hello to you too CJ.” Philip smirked. He has brown rooted and flocked hair and tan skin.

He has a light green singlet with a forest silhouette across it. His hooded jacket is dark brown leather with dark green sleeves, red-brown cords hang from the top and the back is a auburn paisley pattern. His khaki pants are a dirty cream color.

He has a brown cuff bracelet and a silver pendant of feathers and leaves hanging from his belt loop. His bag is a dark brown leather stitched-together messenger bag with a silver clasp. He has big leather hiking boots with thick straps.

“Why are you here?” CJ asked rudely. “Class. Why are you here. Thief/murderer?” Philip asked, just as rude. “You know as well as I do that the Hook-Hook fruit was the Hook family property and that those ruffians you called “Lost Boys” tried to kill me.” CJ explained. “Still a murderer.” Philip cooed. “Like you’re any better.” CJ scoffed.

“I don't kill people.” Philip confidently said. “Not what I was referring to.” CJ said as the teacher, Rumpelstiltskin stood on top of 6 books just to get a good look of the class.

He is a tiny man with large pointy ears and a large nose. He has a long white beard that touches the floor, a white mustache and white hair. He wears a tall thick black hat that covers most of his eyes. Rumpelstiltskin wears a green jacket and green/grey shoes with grey trousers. He has few golden teeth in his mouth.

“Quiet in class! Pop quiz on chapter three! If you fail, detention!” The students gasped. Philip, on the other hand, had came prepared. “Now, prepare to mix!” Rumpelstiltskin announced. “I didn’t read chapter three!” CJ said to Philip. “Extension of everything in chapter two!” Crackers squacked. “But that was last week, right?” CJ asked. “You really are a birdbrain.” Philip chuckled. “Hey! Don't insult my parrot!” CJ scolded. “Wasn’t talking about the parrot.” Philip smirked.

“Five parts three o two so four…” Rumpelstiltskin began pouring things inside a giant cauldron. Students attempted to follow along but everywhere around the room they began failing. “Eight part pixie dust to begin reaction… heat. Cool! Add seven parts wolfsbane! Separate, remix, reverse procedure! Add isotope of five oh seven, no, four oh seven.” He cackled, watching the students attempts.

“I don't know how you make it so easy, Philip. I can hardly keep up.” CJ groaned. “If you know the formulas and the mohexulars valances cross referenced with the periodic table, well then it’s just logic!” He clapped his hands together and sprinkles a finishing a touch of powder into his mixture.

From Philip’s mixture emerged a giant green butterfly, all the students ooh and ah-ed. “Good job, Philip Pan! I give you A! Ah, B plus.” Rumpelstiltskin announced. “Oh, that’s what we’re trying to do!” CJ said as Rumpelstiltskin looked at her. “CJ, what is result?” He asked. “Green stuff.” CJ the poured some into the mixture. “Yeah, ooh, and orange stuff, and ooh, some purple stuff..” CJ confidently giggled. “Let me see, what have we got here.” She then gasphed. “Yes, fizzy stuff!” She reached for Rumpelstiltskin's hair, putting it into the cauldron.

The mixture CJ randomly created puffed out some and turned out to be successfully similar formula as her red butterfly floated along side Philip’s.

“B plus.” Rumpelstiltskin nodded as the bell rung. “Class dismissed!” He yelled as CJ grabbed her stuff. “What did you mean by ‘I wasn’t referring to that?’” Philip asked. “You really don't remember what you did?” CJ asked, annoyingly. “Oh, right… me and Josephine broke up. You know this.” Philip reminded her. “So, still doesn't mean you had to use me like that!” CJ scolded. “I didn’t use you!” Philip shot back. “Really? SO what do you call dating a person only to get another person jealous so they would date you?!” CJ got close to his face.

“Why are you still here! It was 2 years ago! Just move on!” CJ yelled. “I can’t move on!” Philip yelled. “And why is that?!” CJ glared at him. “Cause…” Philip then cupped her face kissing her. “I still love you.” Philip said as they kissed again.

CJ jumped up and wrapped her legs around Philip. “Damn I missed this.” CJ chuckled.

What she didn’t know was outside, Carlos saw the entire thing. He was in such a state of shock he completely blacked out.

~B~

“I think he’s waking up.” A voice echoed as Carlos eyes fluttered open to see the boys, looking at him. “What happened?” Carlos groaned, sitting up. “You blacked out. Luckily, Dude ran to get us and we brought you back to the dorm room.” Ben explained.

“I had the worst dream. I saw CJ making out with Philip. Thank gods that it was just a dream.” Carlos chuckled. “Um, Carlos, it wasn’t a dream.” Hunter said. “What?” Carlos asked seriously. “Yeah, we saw them when we went to get you.” Jasper answered as Carlos got up. “You should probably sit down.” Zeref suggested.

Carlos’s hands clenched the rim of the sink, making the metal dent. “Holy shit.” Hunter commented. “Hey, Carlos, buddy. Calm down…” Jasper said delicately. “You want me to calm down?” Carlos asked, his voice sounding like a low growl. “Yeah, that would be good.” Ben answered. “Oh…” Carlos started laughing. “You want me to calm down?” Carlos’s laughed turned into a cackle. “Calming down, at a time like this? That’s a funny joke.” Carlos turned around to face the boys, his eyes red as rubies with gold and white specks in them.

“What the hell happened to your eyes?!?” Hunter yelled. “Something that your simple demon brain can't handle.” Carlos smirked, patting Hunter’s head. “Look, I don't have time for jokes.” Carlos said. “Why?” Jasper asked, worryingly. “Oh, well, you see Jasper.” Carlos got close to Jasper’s face. “I’m gonna kill somebody.” the words popped off Carlos’s lips. “Huh?!” Zeref yelled.

“You need to sit down. Now.” Ben demanded. “Oh, Ben. Now, I know you aren’t try to stop me. Right?” Carlos asked, his eyes glaring at him. “I need everyone out of this room, right now.” Ben demanded as Hunter, Jasper, Zeref gladly ran out of the room. “Hey, look at me. What the hell is happening to you?” Ben asked, grabbing his shoulders. “Nothing, now if you excuse me. I got a Lost Boy to kill.” Carlos smirked grabbing a baseball bat.

“Think of CJ! What would she say if she saw you like this?” Ben scolded. “So? CJ has nothing to do with this. This is strictly between me and-AH!” Carlos yelled, resting his hand on his temple. “What the hell happening to him?” Ben asked Zypher. “I have no idea.” Zypher answered. “Ben, look. Just let me do this.” Carlos said, grabbing a duffle bag.

“No! You’re already in enough trouble as it is. Think about what you would be losing if you did this?” Ben said as Carlos sighed. “Give me the bat.” Ben insisted. “Fine.” Carlos said as he tried to hit Ben upside the head but Ben caught it and instead lighting Carlos upside the head. His eyes turned back to his natural state. “What...wh...what happened?” Carlos asked. “Must be the animalistic kicking in. Sit, we need to talk.” Ben said as him and Carlos sat on the couch.

“You need to learn how to control this. You just can’t random rage outs whenever you get pissed.” Ben said, handing Carlos some water. “I know. I just got so pissed, he was all up on CJ. I just started thinking the worst. I felt like I was losing her, like a voice was telling me to go full yandere on him.” Carlos explained. “You know that happened to me once.” Ben chuckled.

“Seriously?” Carlos asked. “Yeah, when Mal and Caleb started dating I got so missed I almost killed Caleb. I found this book on meditation, really helps. At least for me that is.” Ben smiled handing him a book label EASE THE BRAIN. “Who’s G.G?” Carlos asked. “No idea.” Ben shrugged his shoulders. “Oh man.” Ben sighed, looking at his phone. “What?” Carlos asked as Ben passed him the phone to see a photo of CJ kissing Philip’s cheek with the caption saying “Together again.” Carlos’s eyes turned red again.

“Together again!!” Carlos yelled, his eyes turning red, Ben then hit him upside the head. “Sorry.” Carlos muttered. “Meditation book, use it.” Ben stated as Carlos but the book in his bag. Ben’s phone then began to ring. “Milton?” Carlos asked. “Yeah.” Ben answered the call. “What is it Milton?” Ben asked. “Fine whatever, I’ll be there.” Ben sighed as he hung up. “I have to go to the docks to pick up something. You wanna come. I could use the intel.” Ben asked as Carlos nodded as the two grabbed their coats.

~B~

It’s been 3 days since Carlos and Ben left for the docks, and they haven’t returned. “What if he’s dead? What if he left me?” Mal paced back and forth.

“Mal, calm down. Carlos is with him. He’ll be fine.” Philip assured her as purple flames sprouted from Mal. “My fiance is out there! MISSING!! And your telling me to calm down!?!?” Mal yelled. “Yes, just chill Mal. Listen to Philip.” CJ agreed.

“Your...just...UGH!!!” Mal groaned sitting outside on the balcony. There was then a knock at the door. Mal rushed to it to reveal both Ben and Carlos badly damaged, barely standing up.

“Carlos! What the hell happened to you?” CJ asked, helping Carlos to the couch. “C...CJ?” Carlos managed to say. “Yeah, what happened?” CJ asked. “Ther...There were...s…” Carlos started coughing.

“Ma...many...of them…” CJ wiped the blood off of Carlos’s face. “Wh-Why didn’t you call us?” Mal asked, cleaning one of Ben’s wounds. “You...you know...I couldn’t risk...getting you hurt.” Ben managed to say between groans of pain.

“We would've been fine, idiots.” Jasper chuckled. “I know...but...we didn’t want...your blood on our hands…” Carlos said. “Hey, you know you almost gave me a heart attack. I’m gonna be your wife for gods sakes! Why didn’t you call for backup.” Mal sighed. “I couldn’t risk my future wife getting hurt.” Ben smiled weakly. “You really need to tell me next time you go running out like that.” CJ chuckled. “I will.” Carlos smiled.

“We’re gonna get going. Us VK’s got class. Philip, mind watching them till next period?” CJ asked as Philip nodded. CJ kissed his cheek before walking out. “Thanks hun.” CJ smiled as the VK’s left the room.

Philip looked at Carlos smirking, he was asleep, muttering CJ’s name. “Hey, wake up.” Philip said, pushing Carlos off the couch. “Dick.” Carlos muttered. “You need to stop dreaming about my girlfriend.” Philip said, kicking his ribs.

“She’s not your girlfriend.” Ben groaned. “Shut up, Ben.” Philip rolled his eyes as Ben got up. “Can’t you see he’s hurt?! For gods sake, you already took the girl he liked you don't need to beat him.” Ben scolded as Philip pushed him to the ground.

“Get up, Dog Boy.” Philip growled, kicking him again. “I said. Get. Up!” Philip repeated, kicking him once more. “You wanna know why CJ isn't with you?” Philip asked, punching him in the ribs.

“No.” Carlos coughed up blood. “She would never go for a dog boy like you. Never. Never. Never.” Philip whispered the last never in Carlos’s ear. “Hey! I said to leave him alone!” Ben yelled, tackling him.

“Obliius Strixus.” Philip chanted as a stream of green energy sprouted out from Ben’s wand, shooting Ben towards the door.

“Now, look at me, I know what you are Carlos. You little Animalistic. I know animalistic have mates, I know you wanna have CJ be your mate. But let me tell you now, that will never happen. CJ is mine, she was and always will be.” Philip explained, his hand wrapping firmly around his neck.

“You’re right.” Carlos managed to say. “I am?” Philip asked. “Yeah, CJ is yours, I can’t get her. Thanks for reminding me.” Carlos coughed as Philip let him go. “Now, I’m gonna go make out with my girlfriend.” Philip smirked as he closed the door behind him.

“You okay Carlos?” Ben asked, crawling over to him. “Yeah, I guess…” Carlos muttered. “Carlos, don't listen to him. You’re gonna get CJ one day.” Ben assured him. “Stop feeding me false hope.” Carlos sighed as Dude licked his face.
He then realized something

This wasn’t his fault.

Or CJ’s

Or Ben’s

It was only one person fault.

“This is all your fault!” Carlos yelled at dude. “Hey, stop yelling at you dog.” Ben said, pulling Dude towards him.

“Stop defending him! If he didn’t run into CJ that day I would've never met her and fall madly in love with her!” Carlos yelled. “It’s not Dude’s fault. Just calm down.” Ben suggested as he sat down.

“NO! This stupid dog gets me into to much trouble! You know what! I’m finally done!” Carlos then snatched Dude away from Ben, limping out of the room. “Carlos! Wait! Don't do this!” Ben called out, running after him, passing the VK’s.

“Ben, what’s going on?” Jasper asked. “Carlos yelled at Dude again. Carlos just grabbed Dude. Something tells me it won't go good.” Ben shortly explained as the VK’s went after him. “Carlos, think about what your about to do.” Zeref said as the group stopped at the top of a hill.

“No! This dumb hair covered rat gave me so many problems!” Carlos yelled. Holding Dude off the cliff. “Carlos, this dog is your best friend. Don't do this, your always regret it.” Hunter said as Carlos looked at Dude’s whimpering face.

“N-No! I know what I have to do! I’m just following my destiny!” Carlos shot back. “How?! You said you didn’t want to become your mother! By dropping Dude off this cliff that’s what your doing!” Operetta said.

“No! I need to do this! I need to get this over with! This dog! H-He...H-He…” Carlos paused and looked at Dude and at CJ.

“H-He introduced me to somebody I never thought I find. Somebody I always wanted to meet, but never could find. Somebody who showed me how I didn’t need to yell at my best friend. That I didn’t need to follow my mother's footsteps. The person who did that was you, Dude. And I’m trying to throw you off a cliff.” Carlos then looked at Dude.

“I’m so sorry.” tears formed in his eyes as he hugged Dude. “I’m so sorry for yelling at you.” Carlos added. “It kinda reminds you of the first day, huh Dude.” Carlos chuckled. “What happened on the first day?” Operetta asked. “That’s a good story.” Hunter chuckled.

“It all started when I was 6, it was summer.” Carlos narrated as Dude licked his face.
