A NEW CJ

CHAPTER FORTY- FIVE

DENISE'S POV

"Please tell me you saw what just happened?" I asked Blanc, as I watched Lionel's car drive off.

I turned to Blanc's direction and he shook his head. It seemed like I was the only one that saw her.

Blanc was not in the mood of talking about whatever I saw, it was obvious because of the divided attention he gave me when I tried to explain what I saw. No one had to tell me to stop talking.

"You paid no attention to what I was saying," Blanc said with a voice filled with hurt and sadness, that was certainly not my intention.

But I wasn't ready to push the matter further, so I just kept quiet and we drove in silence. I wondered why Andi would cheat on an angel like him.

But I won't lie, hearing about all Blanc had to go through, I felt bitter for him even though he tried to double cross me, I knew it was certainly not his intention. Dracula had broken his heart in several pieces by killing his mother, and he will feel the same pain while we destroy the Gem with his daughter in it.

I have heard the story Blanc told me about Lucas but Lucas had said little or nothing about what happened centuries ago. I still feel he is hiding something to protect Blanc and me. Who would ever think a saint like Lucas would have a lineage as wicked as that witch?

Well nevertheless, the most important thing was that she didn't come close to the Gem nor me. I'm sure she came in search of the Gem because every new person I meet, is either Vampires or werewolves wanting to own the Gem. And now a witch is among them. I thought it was all the witches that were sealed in that Gem.

These things are so confusing, if I could take back the hands of time, I would have asked my father why he gave me the Gem, there was more he wanted to tell me before he took his last breath. Now I'm left finding out the pieces of everything and trying to join them together to form a story. Only heavens know if these stories are told every day aren't cocka and bull stories.

"They aren't cock and bull stories Denise, if others are, mine isn't," Blanc said as he made the car to a stop. He read my thoughts again, it is getting to always do that if I do not close my thoughts.

"Don't read my thoughts Blanc" I warned in a harsh tone. It seems he is getting to know how to read my thoughts after realizing I was his mate and not Andi.

"Then close your thoughts, we are at the police station, Go get her now," he said without looking in my direction. It seems like he was still mad at me for ignoring him earlier. I didn't bother though, he will surely come around.

I opened the car door and stepped out in a hurry to get my mum, I was anxious to know what exactly she did this time around.

BLANC'S POV

I stayed back in the car, my thoughts couldn't leave my mother. Dracula killed her and I'm going to take revenge on him and his teaching daughter for the fact that he gave me a wall gecko to eat.

I wined the windows down so that some fresh breeze could hit my face. I was tired of the Air conditioner so I turned it off.

Denise is one hard girl that I don't think I would be able to deal with. Working on my feelings for her is very necessary for us to destroy the Gem. It's obvious she is still into Lionel, I saw her staring at him while we drove, she ignored all I said about how I felt and was staring at her other mate.

The sight of her staring at another man made me boil in anger, The fact that the man turned out to be Lionel, made me make the air flowing through my nostrils stop, I was hurt badly.

I increased the speed of the car, so she could stop looking at him, which she did. She didn't even feel remorseful for staring at another man, she talked to me like nothing happened. I was too hurt to listen to what she had to say, so I deliberately ignored her. All I knew was that she kept on talking about the witch, maybe she thought the witch and Lionel were dating and she is kind of jealous about it.

I was looking at the flowers in a nearby garden when I caught a glimpse of a bald head hiding behind the flowers. Was that the witch? I asked myself.

My anxiety took the better part of me. As I got out of the car and headed in the direction I saw the bald head, The bald head slowly stood up as it saw me approaching. Alas, I was right. It was the bald witch again. Are we being followed?

She looked at me, her eyes were black and her gloves weren't on so I could see her palms lacked fingers. It was frightening but I had to stay put.

"Do you work for Dracula?" I asked, trying to make sure Dracula had not realized I wasn't on his side again. I wasn't afraid of him though, I was just being careful because to destroy the Gem, Dracula must be in the dark till thinking that I am still on his side.

A wicked smile crept to the corners of her lips as she stared at me. She accessed from head to toe before speaking any further.

"I'm not like you Blanc, I work for no one and I'm a boss on my own," she said walking towards me. She kept walking in circles with me in the middle.

I was getting scared, but I had to shove it off besides, she was going to send down demons from hell to kill me in public.

"I only work with people, darling" his voice came as a whisper, I wondered why I heard it. She stopped behind me and turned me around to face her.

"I'm just here for the Gem darling" She said as she slowly changed her appearance.

"Fuck" I yelled as she now looks exactly like Denise's mother. I never knew the dark witch had the power to shapeshift.

"What are you going to do huh?" I asked, wondering why she changed to Denise's mother. She smiled widely as she opened her mouth to speak.

"I gave her the call that her mum was in the police station, Now I'm going to be her mum, isn't that awesome," she said giggling.

I looked at her speechless and powerless at the same time. She turned around and began to walk to the police station. I tried running after her but I couldn't.

My feet kept running on a single spot till she entered the police station. Fuck, what was I going to do?

I ran to the cat to get my phone, so I can call Denise, and her call kept on going to voicemail, "Where the fuck did you keep your phone for goodness sake" I yelled hitting my forehead with my hands. I tried texting her but she replied to none of my texts.

Just at that moment, I realized that I could enter the police station and fetch Denise, I ran to the police station door to open it but it was locked tightly.

I pulled and pulled but the door didn't open, this witch must have done something to keep the door closed.

What was I going to do now, if this witch entered the house, she was certainly going to get the Gem. This is getting tougher.
