To Woods Beyond AU

Bored so here is Alex succeeding in his murder plans

—————

Call was starting to regret this plan, now sat what felt like alone in the library – though he knew Aaron, Tamara and even Jasper weren't very far away. Yes, he could catch the spy. But he could also die very easily.

The library door opened slightly then closed again. Calls eyes immediately darted to it, but he couldn't see anything there. He felt uneasy. Like something was there that he couldn't see. He almost wanted to give up now and leave the library without finding anything out, but he didn't want to look like a complete coward. He felt misplaced air near him, and quickly tried to grab it. Nothing. He was probably just paranoid.

A book fell off one of the shelves, making Call jump. Just a book. Gravity does that. Nothing to be scared of.

Jasper was so much going to laugh at him for this once it's over.

He tried to calm his breaths and stood up to put the book back on the shelf. He didn't want to get in trouble if it was damaged or anything.

What felt like a very strong blast of wind came towards him, making him stumble and fall over. That hurt. A lot.

He got back up, trying to figure out where that came from. He was inside. There shouldn't be wind.

Sighing, he put the book back on the shelf and tried to go back to his seat. An even stronger gust of wind launches him into the wall. He screamed.

Air magic.

He wasn't prepared for the situation of an air mage.

He saw what looked like a floating hand for a few seconds before it disappeared again and Call was launched straight at the ceiling. The blow to his head made him back out for a second but somehow didn't kill him.

He screamed again, tears falling down his face as he realised what was happening.

"Help! Please!"

Call felt something tug at his soul, and a blast of chaos went out in a random direction, probably aiming to hit whoever was doing this.

It obviously missed, as Call was slammed straight into the wall.

He couldn't feel his body anymore. He wanted to scream but couldn't. His friends ran out from behind the bookshelf, all trying to do something. Call couldn't tell what, his vision was fading.

He felt himself fall and then everything went black. The last thing he heard was a shout – his name. Aaron was shouting his name. Then he couldn't hear anything at all

<< POV switch >>

Aaron ran out quickly, realising what was happening.

"Call!" He screamed as he saw the other boy fall. Call hit the ground and went limp. "Call! No!" Tears filled his eyes. He looked around, trying to figure out what was going on or what to do.

"Aaron!" Tamara shouted, but Aaron didn't have a chance to respond before he was levitated in the air and slammed into the wall next to Call.

He couldn't feel half his body. His head was foggy but he was alive. He closed his eyes and tried to make his breaths less obvious, the spy wouldn't kill him if they thought he was already dead.

He heard another scream and resisted the urge to open his eyes. It was both of them – both Tamara and Jasper – that screamed.

But at the second scream from Jasper Aaron's eyes shot open. There was a pair of quickly moving in and out of Jasper's back, stabbing him repeatedly. Tamara was going blue and not breathing. Aaron tried to run towards them, to save them, but couldn't. He couldn't move his legs or even feel them – was it the hit against the wall?

It took minutes for both Tamara and Jasper to die. They collapsed and went limp. Aaron couldn't do anything but watch, and then prepare himself for the same thing to happen to him the moment the sky realised he wasn't dead.

It didn't. The door opened slightly and closed again, leaving Aaron alone with the corpses of his three best friends and no clue who did it, unable to move half his body to get out or go for help.

Why? Why was he left alive? Why were Tamara and Jasper killed too? Why was Call killed? Why not him? Why was he still alive?

He reached over and held Calls hand tight. It was going cold. Aaron broke down crying.

This wasn't real. It couldn't be. Call couldn't die. Not Call or Tamara or Jasper. If any of them it should've been Aaron.

But all he could do was wait for someone to find him now.

Author note if Alex leaving Aaron alive doesn't make sense he says in his evil speech that his plan was keeping Aaron alive after killing Call and then alkahesting him afterwards.

Okay byee

I swear the magisterium series went so hard with saying you can bring someone back but you can’t fix death and then they ruined it

LITERALLY! For the age group, it was so raw and poignant and quite effective, in my opinion. Absolutely loved Aaron's brought back wrong story; i've never forgotten the descriptors of when he woke up and his hair and nails were longer because they'd kept growing in death, and how that clued Aaron in. and his screams. the way in the end, Aaron wasn't alive, he was under Call's control; Call told him not to talk about things like that, and he didn't. because he couldn't. Aaron didn't have free will, he had Call's will. the dawning horror when Call realized, and Aaron begging to be put to rest...favorite part of the series for me, I think

then they decided in book five actually we can fix death and are going to bring back Aaron perfectly fine this time <3

WHY. WHY did we do all that then. i HATE it. magisterium fandom unites around a hatred of the golden tower. in my heart aarons dead for real <3

If you're ever worried about whether your writing is too self indulgent, I just want you to remember that Sharknado had 5 sequels. I'm only partway through watching Sharknado 6: It's About Time, but already they've traveled through time and ridden a pteronadon into a Sharknado so they could use the magic teleportation portal inside of it to travel forward in time to King Arthur's time, where they are currently battling a Sharknado full of fire-breathing dragon sharks with Excalibur, which is a chainsaw sword that calls lightning. You're fine. In fact, be a little more self indulgent if anything.
