HOW TO BE FRIENDS WITH A WITCH
CHAPTER FORTY- FOUR
LIONEL'S POV
I grabbed my car key and left my room with steady steps. I increased my pace till I reached my parked car. "Lionel darling, where are you heading to, it's almost time for a family hour" My mom yelled, as she trimmed the flowers.
"Shit" I caused, using my hand to hit my forehead, how could I have forgotten that family hour was around the corner. I hate family time though. The main purpose of the hour is to brag about your achievement which is not meant to be so.
During family hours, I get more praise than my brother, Lionel. He doesn't get any praise at all, The only thing he gets is comparison. My parents always compare Audrey and I.
I guess it is very obvious that I'm the most loved child, even though some people think the last child is the most loved. In my family, the relevant child is the most loved.
"I'm going to get Vikky, so she will join us in the family hour" I lied. Technically that wasn't a lie because my intention was still to get Vikky but for a different reason.
"Oh sure, take care darling," my mum said. With that, I hopped into the car and zoomed off at great speed. I used my tracking device to get where Vikky was and fuck, it showed she was already at Denise's house.
I couldn't drive at a faster speed any longer, I did not want anything that would take me to the police station. "Fuck" I yelled, hitting the staring wheel.
DENISE'S POV
"So sorry dear" I apologized, raising the strange girl from the floor. Her presence felt familiar but her face wasn't.
"Have we met before?" I asked and shook her head immediately. It seemed like she didn't speak.
I was about to get Mum from the police station, I didn't know her crime and didn't care to know.
It turned out that this girl stood behind my mum's car as I was about to drive. I would have killed a human being if I wasn't fast enough.
"What were you doing at the back of my house? If I may ask" I asked and she just stared at me while tears gathered in her red eyes. She looked so scary.
She was wearing a long gown that was long to the floor, black gloves covered her hands, the black gloves complimented the gown she wore. She was as bald as a boiled egg, she had large nose holes.
And the only surprising thing was the fact that her feet had no toes. Let me get this straight, a mute girl, who is bald with red scary eyes, barefooted, and has feet without toes, tried to get herself killed by me.
"What the fuck is happening, not again, I'm fucking tired of drama" I yelled, which made Lucas and Blanc run outside.
The bald girl turned to Lucas immediately with so much anger and bitterness in her eyes, she made a fist and her eyes were turning from red to black. "Who the fuck is this?" I asked in fear as Blanc came to the front of me, blocking me from seeing her. he brought out his fangs and his nails grew extremely long. He was ready to attack this lady until Lucas stopped him.
"Don't try to harm her, she's a witch from my lineage. She came for me probably" he said, coming in our direction slowly.
"Oh, motherfucker I didn't come for you," she said, her voice like a loud cackle. He turned to Blanc again who was still standing at my front. I couldn't see her face so she tried pushing Blanc away but he didn't move an inch.
She laughed very loudly, her laughter sounded rather high-pitched and harsh. "I am not here for you Blanc," she said as though she had known Blanc for a long time now.
Blanc was surprised, his shock showed in his reaction as his nails went back to normal. He stepped aside but didn't leave my side.
I looked at her and her eyes were no longer black, it was now red, she was about to talk again when a familiar cat did a U-turn before parking. With him coming down, I already knew who it was before he came down.
It's only Lionel who loves doing such show-offs. Alas, I was correct, what the fuck is he doing here after the commotion he caused earlier.
"I love your boldness," I said sarcastically as he approached us in a hurry. He didn't reply to me.
He went to where the witch was and dragged her out, he pushed her into his car and drove off immediately.
The three of us were left in silence wondering what the fuck just happened. "Please don't tell me you and Lionel are off the same lineage," Blanc said sarcastically, with a smile at the corners of his lips.
I wondered why he would be sarcastic after what just happened with the witch. He leaned his back of the car and his long legs were stretched out, holy heavens, why would a man look this tempting?
He noticed my stares and turned me, I didn't know when I quickly looked away. Shit, I would have just smiled at him when he caught me staring.
"No you dummy, but I feel she's someone I'm supposed to know," he said and we nodded.
"Hmm, interesting. Someone you knew tried to attack me" I said and Lucas let out a sign. It was obvious he didn't know what exactly happened.
"You aren't going alone," Blanc said, going round to enter the driver's seat.
"I'm not a baby, Mr. Vampire," I said walking behind him. He turned around and gave me a cute smile. It seemed he liked the pet name.
"I'm still not buying that, I want to be sure you are safe," he said, staring at me.
I couldn't say no to his cute eyes, I just nodded and ran to the other seat, next to the driver's seat.
LIONEL'S POV
"What the fuck was that about," I said, in anger but tried my best to keep it cool. She hates being yelled at.
"It didn't go as planned you dickhead, I wasn't supposed to talk. Since I am not able to change my voice, I wanted to keep mute while getting close to her" she said.
She leaned on the parked car, and I stood looking at her. I had to park to talk because she doesn't like when I'm talking and driving. There are a lot of things she hates.
That was a great plan though, With that, Denise would never know that Vikky can shapeshift, witches don't call it shapeshifting though. I don't know what they call it. Vikky would have been about to get the Gem knowing how softhearted and loving Denise can get with mute people.
"What fucking stopped you?" I asked and her expressions showed she wasn't happy about my constant use of fuck as I talked. "I'm sorry" I apologized immediately before she got angry and did what she always does. What she does to me when she's angry is a secret and I'm not going to tell anyone.
"I saw that bastard man Lucas", she said and hissed.
Ohh, now I see why she got angry, she hates anything that is related to her father. Well, I can't blame the witch, he tried to kill her some time ago even though it's more than a decade, she's still hurt.
"I'll still get to her and we will close. I need that Gem, this is taking way too much time than I thought" she said, folding her arms beneath her breast.
DENISE'S POV
We left my house and made our way towards the police station to get my mum.
I took a little glimpse of Blanc while he was driving, man I loved the way he used the staring wheels with only one hand. He placed the other on his masculine lap. His sleeves were raised to his elbow level.
I enjoyed looking at his arms, how his veins were obvious, it drives me nuts.
"You should quit drooling", he said and let out a manly chuckle.
Was I drooling, fuck hope I wasn't? I cleared my throat and tried to comport myself, "Don't flatter yourself, I wasn't drooling" I said.
I tried to keep my head in place but fuck my dirty mind, I couldn't because of the way he looked while driving.
"You know I have something for you huh?" He asked. His question made me speechless.
I wasn't ready for this talk right now, not at this point I'm trying to find myself and at the same time protect the Gem. I would admit that I was beginning to fall for this aged young-looking man but I can not go into a relationship now, no hard feelings.
"I know you aren't ready to hear what I have to say, but I need your permission to say it" That was the last thing I heard from. him before my mind diverted.
It diverted to the witch I saw earlier, she was with Lionel, and they were talking beside Lionel's parked car.
I was about to look away when they looked everywhere to see if someone was looking, Lionel covered her, but when he released the covering, I found out that the witch had changed her appearance.
What the fuck, did she just shapeshift.
