Chapter 7

Leah's Pov

I sat in the classroom with my note book in front of me, the silence was unnerving.

Almost everyone was already outside the school premises trick-a-treating. 

I could hear voices in the walls of the classroom whispering in my ears.

Mr Alberta was watching me like a hawk, how on earth was I supposed to tell him that I could hear voices without him thinking I'm making excuses to leave the classroom.

The pages of my book flipped on it's own and I held the edge of my seat for support. 

On the opposite side of the class the best student, Lisa Dallas sat willingly not in detention simply just buried in a book as always.

She almost never says a word to anyone, my tongue was stuck in my throat and visible burn marks appeared in my chemistry text book.

I held on to the table till my knuckles turned white as the word bathroom appeared on the text book in burn marks. 

"Excuse me sir, I have to pee."' I said nervously standing up, he gave me a look then nodded. 

As I navigated through the hallway my heart beat rapidly, hesitantly I opened the toilet door to see brea, roxie and Serena.

"Oh for the love of God!" I exclaimed in annoyance. 

Brea walked up to me "Calm down." 

"No stay the fuck away from me." I exclaimed, stepping back. 

"We can explain to Leah, you don't need to keep avoiding us. You are in danger." Brea tried explaining but I turned to leave.

"No, I'm not interested in your horseshit!" 

An invisible force pulled me back into the toilet and the door slammed shut.

I took in a shaky breath, my heart ramming in my chest "Can you just listen!" Roxie snapped, hands in her pocket signalling impatience.

"That day at the library we released a nightmare Spirit." Brea explained "And it's attached to you, it's feeding off your energy." 

I was so mad, I was literally seeing red "Well that wouldn't have happened if you had just listened to me." 

Serena sighed, folding her arms. "That's why we are going to fix it." 

"How are we going to do that by casting more spells to fix our problems?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

They shrugged and I nearly popped a nerve. I was still somehow held in place by Roxie. "Are you serious? I was being sarcastic, how are you going to fix a problem that we already created using the same problem?" 

"Turns out magic really does run in our family blood, and only those truly born of magic can conjure the spell that we cast that day." Brea explained and I was still processing what she meant.

"Are you trying to say that I am a witch?" I asked in utter disbelief then cracked up immediately, I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes.

Still laughing I said "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard you know what...I'm gonna forget all this and go home." 

"You are in danger!" Roxie exclaimed.

"You guys are insane, crazy! and I will not be a part of this crazy charade!" I yelled at the top of my voice.

A gosh of wind filled the room, I felt an arm circle around my waist and next thing, I knew I was standing outside in the woods. 

As soon as I regained my balance I looked up to see Cain looking very amused "How did you?" 

"Do that?" he finished for me, releasing me from his hold and he stepped back. 

He smirked as if we weren't in the middle of a dark forest, where he set the table with a meal on it "Tea?" he asked casually like it was a normal day in autumn.

"Is it poisoned?" I questioned realizing if I had to run there's no way I could because I literally couldn't find a path out of the forest. 

His dark eyes glinted with amusement and mischief. "You don't trust me?" 

"Well currently in Banewood, there have been reports of serial killings. You are new to our school, there's something off about you, it's like you're not human then you kidnap me and take me to the middle of woods in the middle nowhere." I smiled, calculating how to defend myself.

"So no, I do not trust you." I said with full confidence "My friends will be worried, they'll call the cops. My mother is a detective." 

Now he laughed sitting down in a chair at the table "Really! I'm so scared." 

"What do you want from me?" I asked, finally spotting an escape route in the trees just behind him. 

He shrugged observing me "How far do you think you can run from me?" 

"I'm not running. I can defend myself." I said the lie slipped easily from my tongue. 

"From a werewolf?" he said and chills ran down my spine.

His smirk was wild as he cajoled her "I'd like to see you try...this is good quality meat, have some." he said.

Discomfort spread through me like a disease "What is it?" 

He grinned revealing canines so large they would snap my neck with one bite, he was suddenly in front of me. 

I didn't panic as he sniffed me, it was hard to be brave for what I was about to do. 

His eyes danced with excitement like he was enjoying every moment of my antics. "What are you going to do now little human?" 

I gently grabbed the collar of his shirt pulling him down a bit from his insane height and kissed him square on the lip.

The pupil of his red eyes dilated in shock, I smirked. Taking that moment with all my power, used my knee to hit him in the groin.

He growled flinching from my kiss and doubled over, I sprinted as quickly as I could, adrenaline my only support.

Running like my life depended on it, I could hear his agonizing groan as my heels barely touched the ground. "You better run you little human because If I catch you." 

My heart was pounding against my ribs, my flesh burning with excitement, I couldn't control the thrill I felt in my veins.

As I ran right into Reuben, I was panting whether I had met a savior or another devil was

hanging in a balance right now.

Reuben looked pissed as hell as he growled "Are you bloody stupid?"
