Teacher, I don't feel so good...

"Okay... I'll take you to him. Just ..Try not to stress," Celeste said as she tried to maintain her hold on Marissa, keeping her tone gentle even though her constant phasing was extremely worrying. "Let me call him first," Celeste said as she took out her phone from her pocket, dialed up her father's private number and quickly told him what was happening.

"He said he will meet us outside in twenty," Celeste said as she looked at Risky, her gaze troubled. "Can you make it, or should I call someone to help?" she asked while thinking she could call on Shale or Azure, or even Jeremiah if needed, to help her get Marissa to the front doors and into the car when Rafael arrived to pick them up.

It was a few moments later that Rafael arrived and was waiting outside the school beside an expensive looking car, and when the two women emerged from the school, he immediately saw what had worried his daughter so.

Taking the steps two by two, Rafael hurried up the stairs. "Celeste," he said as a way of greeting. "Is this..?" he said as he glanced at Marissa.

"Marissa," Celeste nodded as she quickly explained what was going on again, and what she thought was happening. All of which caused Rafael's normally stoic expression to turn thunderous.

"You mean that nobody here on this magical island thought that this wasn't concerning," he stated his voice clearly unimpressed and extremely critical. "And she is fully human?" he asked, needing to make sure.

"Human as you and me. Though I suspect she is a latent witch," Celeste added as she kept a comforting hand on Marissa.

Swearing under his breath at this, Rafael looked up at the school and just glared. There would be words. They could be assured of that, he thought, very clearly disappointed in Starlight for its apparent oversight and lack of concern for the young girl's welfare.

"Get her into the car," Rafael ordered as he looked at Celeste, concern in his gaze despite his commanding nature.

"No. You are not going to die," Rafael answered matter-of-factly, cutting Celeste off before she could say anything as he watched in the rearview mirror as the two women made themselves comfortable in the back seat. He had seen Marissa phase through the car door and just frowned, extremely concerned, but not about to let her know that.

When they were all in the car safely, Rafael took them to the nearest safe place - Woodland Imports. Parking the car around the back, Rafael helped both Celeste and Marissa out of the car and escorted them into a board room.

"Zoraida!" he called out to a petite dark-haired woman who was coming out of an office with some files. "I need your assistance," he said as he gestured to the boardroom. "Chalk, salt, magnesium and get yourself some ionized water," he told her.

"Celeste, please help Marissa onto the table," he said as he marched off into his own office to double check a spell.

Before Marissa could fall through the table, Zora reappeared with the things Rafael had asked for and telekinetically "grabbed" Marissa, keeping her hovering above the table with her mind.

"I think we need to get a move on," she said as she handed Rafael the chalk as she looked at Marissa grimly, but not without compassion. She knew how scary uncontrolled magic was.

"Relax if you can," she told her as she nodded to Celeste to do whatever she had to calm Marissa down.

"Here, I will draw, you two follow with the salt and the magnesium," he told Zora and Celeste as he started drawing the circle and the runes that once activated would replace the mana that Marissa was losing faster than she was replacing and seal her magic within her.

Once he was done, he nodded at Zora who gently placed Marissa down and stepped back from the circle to get a drink of water.

"Are you ready?" Celeste asked Marissa as she patted the girl's hair reassuringly, keeping her hand from passing through Marissa by not applying any pressure to the gesture. "I won't say this won't hurt, because I honestly don't know," she told her truthfully. "But I imagine a surge of energy replacing what was lost, will feel good, maybe uncomfortable though," she told her as Rafael started reciting the incantation as Zora placed her hands on the table and started releasing energy into the table, slowly freezing it... the only one out of the three who had direct elemental magic that the spell required.

"Step back," Zoraida said to her aunt quietly and in French, not wanting to alarm Marissa but she could feel the energy building up in the table. She would also need to remove her hands from the table shortly if she didn't want to be overloaded with mana.

Just as Zora was warning Celeste, Rafael reached out as he continued the incantation and pulled Zoraida back away from the table. And as he did so and almost a split second later, the circle on the table - in which Marissa was laying - started glowing a dark blue as the energy slowly encircled Marissa and bathed her entirely in mana.

After about a minute, maybe two, the mana started dissipating until it disappeared completely, leaving only Marissa now on the table. The magic circle, runes, salt, and magnesium having also vanished in the process along with the ice from Zora's elemental magic.

"How are you feeling, Marissa?" Celeste asked gently as she kept her distance for a bit, very aware that there still might be residual mana around the girl.
