Fae Rose Academy: Year One (For The Purely Divine Book 1)

I think not.
Forcing my body to rise up, I urged my legs to work. One shaky step after another, I walked towards the daggers like I was walking down the aisle of a church to confess my sins.
The calm before the storm, as the silence wrapped around me and the serenity of those shining blades made the world grow silent in admiration.
They were placed admirably on a stand in the middle of a platform like an altar, the blades crisscrossed.
The resonating glow of engraved scribbles told me it was reacting to my presence, but I couldn't think properly to know if that was a sign. The daggers we've desperately been searching for to complete this part of our case were almost in my grasp.
All I had to do now was claim them.
Taking the three steps up onto the mini platform, I walked right up to the stand, my eyes glued on the prize.
All the struggles. The hardships, broken friendships, bullying, and fighting to keep my rightful place as a Gifted Elite was finally worth it.
Reaching for them with shaky hands, the slight touch filled me a shock of energy. Ignoring it, I wrapped my hands around their base and lifted them off their stand to admire their metal beauty.
"I got you," I spoke to the weapon as if it could hear me. "You're going home with me."
"Willa!"
I turned to the call of my name, surprised to see the very man I admired looking at me with fear in his eyes.
"Get out!"
My brows scrunched together as I registered the two words. Why was he so afraid when this was the one place that resonated peace?
A loud crack made me flinch, and like a light switch, the tranquil sight was no more. It was replaced by the eerie sight of the rest of the burning building.
Now I realized that I was surrounded by smoke and the flames were inching in on me. My eyes looked to the daggers and back down the pathway where my teacher/partner stood.
I could tell he wanted to run right in, but he couldn't. The build-up of debris at the entrance made it almost impossible for him to do a flying spell like I had, and the burning flames were growing taller by the second.
Another loud crunch made me worry that the entire building was about to collapse, and my heart skipped a few beats with an important realization.
We're out of time.
With one last glance at the blades, I looked at my teacher with courageous eyes.
"Now or never," I whispered, and with a twirl of the blades in my hands, I lifted both of my arms up and behind me, throwing them forward with as much strength as possible.
Outstretching my hands, I proceeded to draw out my magic, adding a wave of wind to give the daggers enough momentum to reach their destination.
His wide golden eyes quickly blinked in understanding, and just like that, the daggers were in the hands of one of the few people I trusted in this business.
That was really saying something when we had only known each other for eight months.
"Wil-"
"Go! Hurry!" I screamed. Suddenly, there was an ear-deafening sound.
My head immediately looked up instinctively, but the thickness of the smoke covered the high ceiling.
I knew what was coming, and I braced myself - my body growing stiff as I clenched my fists. Either I'd die right here or I would somehow manage to survive this ordeal with a few broken bones and a concussion.
If only my chances were fifty-fifty.
I expected wood or cement to reveal itself from the thick smoke that I now realized was a glowing blue and not a rich grey.
However, to my bad luck, that wasn't what appeared and headed straight for me. Nothing close to debris or wood.
A sheet of golden swords emerged from the thick smoke, and I now hoped I’d die instantly, with the thought of the daggers being in the hands of the man I'd come to love.
Maybe this was the end of my life as an academy investigator.
