Sleepless Night

Bellatrix

I hardly slept, everytime I drifted off my magic thrashed against me like it knew something was coming. I would wake up soaked in sweat, shivering. I have just got out of the shower, sitting in front of my dressing table when there is a knock at my bedroom door. I flick my wrist and the door opens to Denu.

“You know I could be anyone” She says as she walks in and shuts the door with her own flick of her wrist. I roll my eyes at her and smile, looking at her through the mirror.

“I knew it was you, our magic is connected, remember” She just scoffs before coming to stand behind me, inspecting the small amount of concealer I am applying under my eyes. 

“Rough night?” She asks as she starts to braid my hair. I just nod, feeling exhausted.

“He hardly sleeps, you know. I often see him at night out running or sitting on his balcony” She says, meaning Saint, but never mentioning his name. 

I dont reply, I don’t actually know what to say for the first couple of months I couldn't sleep. I would look at pictures and videos of us, then I would read his letters over and over, but eventually I just worked on my magic. I put everything into my learning different elements, the day I got my runes was one of my best days.

I am pulled from my thoughts with something my sister says, I must have heard her wrong. I hope I heard her wrong, but then again this is Denu and she thrives on being twisted and enjoys peoples discomfort and pain.

“Sorry, I was miles away. What did you say about Candice?” I ask, hoping I misheard her. A wicked grin spreads on her beautiful face.

“I may have given her a whores plague” I raise a brow, eyes wide, she smirks. “You know, every sexually transmitted disease I could think of, I just waited until she got one cleared then gave her another” Denu finishes my hair as she says this so matter of factly. I spin in my seat to face her, eyes wide, mouth open, she just laughs.

“Den, did Mamma know?” I ask, she shrugs not actually caring. I stand and hug her, she tenses at first then pats my back and pushes me away.

“Ok, ok, don’t go all mushy on me. She fucking deserved it, the only person that knew was Angelo he figured it out after the forth one, but you know him he just laughed. Anyway you going to show me some of your new moves” Her smirk grows at the mention of magic, that's her number one passion in life, magic and torture.

We had just finished breakfast, heading to the training grounds when we bumped into Saint, Angelo and our brother. They clearly had just finished morning training, Saints eyes bore into me as he drags them over my body. I feel self conscious in my tight fitting gym clothes with only a sports bra, leggings and a zip up top that's open.

“Where are you two off to?” Angelo asks as he puts his arm around my sister, and to my surprise she growls at him but doesn’t pull away. Looks like they have made progress, this makes me smile momentarily forgetting Saints burning gaze that hasn’t left me.

“We are going to practice some magic” I blurt out, making Amphion narrow his eyes at me and Saint smirk, clearly knowing he has an effect on me. 

“Yeah, Trixi is going to show me what she has learnt” Denu says as she shrugs Angelo off her, he just pouts playfully making her stick out her tongue. I frown noticing she has had her tongue pierced. What have I missed? I wasn’t gone that long.

“Aw that sounds like fun, can we come?” Saint says as the other two guys look at him as if he had lost his mind. Realising he sounded lame, Saint rubs the back of his neck as he looks down trying to cover the red tint that now coats his handsome face; Focus Bell!

“Only if we can practice on you?” My sister says with that wicked glint in her eyes, I look at her poking my eyes out at her, but in true Denu style she just shrugs. 

“Am sure I can handle it” Saint declares, clearly getting his smugness back as he squares his shoulders with a smirk. I give him a small smile knowing his smirk was for me but it’s really my sister that wants to practice on him. 

“Anyway, if you are quite finished eye fucking my sister we have somewhere to go” Pulling me past them, my eyes wide at her choice of word. “Keep walking” She whispers as I keep walking to the training building we booked out before breakfast. 

“You don’t need to be quite so..” I don’t get to finish my sentence before the scent of Rogues reaches us and the alarm goes off. Within a second the boys are back by our side, Saints hand grabs my wrist pulling us back toward the castle.

I don't bother to pull away. It feels nice normal how it used to be before, and just like that I see them in the bed and I rip my arm away from his grip. He spins to look at me as the first howl rings out, we all freeze when an explosion makes the ground shake under our feet. 

The smoke comes from the training building, the very building we had booked out. The one we would have been in if it weren't for the guys stopping us. This time when Saint pulls me into the castle I allow him. I spot my uncle Lex and Saint’s Father’s wolves running towards the treeline chasing a group of rogues. 

“Are you ok? I need to go” Saint says as he tilts my head so he can look me in the eye. I just nod, he hesitates for a second like he is torn. Frowning, he turns and shifts mid air into his amazing, huge Golden wolf, Olympus, that looks so much like Aunt Len’s wolf.
