Chapter 19I materialized into the closet that was nearby. I wanted to hear what was about to be said. Blaze walked in and shut the door. “Haven baby, come here” He said. I could tell he was frustrated by the sound of his voice. She walked over to him, of course, having to pretend she was still under his command. He took her into his arms and just held her for a bit.Then he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, softly. I was not appeased by his actions, but of course I couldn’t say anything. He pulled away and looked at her like she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He really had a thing for her I suppose but killing her and raising her back from the dead wasn’t the best way to show it.“Haven baby, we need to get rid of Marina. I’m not quite sure what to do with her but she is starting to get out of control.” He said with a sigh. “All you have to do is kill her, and before she wakes up take her off the Land of the Dead. She will never wake up after that.” Haven said.
Chapter 20My brother's outlook on life was so positive. Everything to him was a joke, even when it wasn't. His personality was so contagious you couldn't help but laugh with him. I was a lot more formal and serious than him, but a good laugh here and there was always nice. I let out a chuckle at his accusation. "I need a Witch." I said as seriously as I could. I knew he knew I wasn't kidding, but leave it to him to make light of my situation. "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble." Ramses chanted, waving his fingers in the air as if he were casting a spell. I raised an eyebrow at him and then he burst out laughing. I also started laughing. "Damnit Ramses, I'm serious!" I howled. Even when it wasn't funny, it was funny with him. He finally calmed down. "Ok, ok. What do you need said Witch for?" He asked curiously. I had finally calmed down enough to breathe normally. I didn’t reply right away, I guess he thought I didn’t hear him. “And why do you need a Witch, brother?” He asked me with
Chapter 21(Ramses)After my brother left, I went to find my date. Looks like she ended up leaving. I’m sure I would hear about it later, but she needs to lighten up. I, for one, thought it was hilarious that he barged in here guns blazing while we were mid coitus. My little brother, he was always in a mess, and I was always bailing him out. Of course, he would get himself mixed up with Necromancers, sheesh. I couldn’t help but laugh. Hell, it’s what I always did anyway. My Wolf, Titan, was just like me. Always cracking a joke and laughing. We were a lighthearted pair. I grabbed a drink from the bar noticing that Raphael didn’t finish his. It was still sitting there full of silver liquid. “Maybe if he drank more, he would lighten up.” Titan scoffed. I laughed. “He probably wouldn't.” I said back, as I shook my head. I went to my closet to find the perfect suit. I wanted something with not too much bronze, I needed to look presentable, not flashy. The Witches were a hard group to imp
Chapter 22(Raphael)I materialized outside of the front door of the diner. Looking inside, I could see Roxy at her usual table. She had my book in her hand and some papers spread out across the table. She was drinking a milkshake of some kind, and it looked like she was very engrossed in her work. I stood there for a min and just admired her. She kept pushing her crazy curls out of her face and I could tell she was getting frustrated when they wouldn’t stay back where she pushed them. I laughed as she just gave up, letting them fall wherever they decided to. Axel was pushing me to go inside. I opened the door and stepped inside, locking eyes with Roxy when she looked up to see who came in. A huge grin formed on her face when she realized it was me. I walked over to the table. “Roxy.” I said with a bow, and I sat down. “Hi Raphael!” She chirped. “What are you doing?” I asked her, eyeballing all the papers. It seemed as if she were building some sort of supernatural compilation. The
Chapter 23A lock of hair, that’s all we needed… This shouldn’t be too hard. I materialized just outside the entrance to the tunnel where Marina was being kept. I was pleased to see that it was covered in ice shards, meaning she was, in fact, still down there. After our little escapade a few days ago, I really doubted she would be willing to talk to me again. So, I decided to pull a page from my brother Raziel's book and go in guns blazing. Or so they say. I stepped inside and started walking towards the back of the tunnel. I could feel the familiar fuzzy feeling in my mind telling me that I was getting closer. “Who’s there?” Marina’s icy voice infiltrated my mind like an icy blast down my spine. I didn’t answer but I kept heading towards her. “I haven’t seen anyone in days, what is going on?” She basically screeched into my mind. I stepped around the corner to face Marina. She was standing in front of her throne as beautiful as ever, with her varying shades of blue hair off to one
Chapter 24It was 8:45pm and Midnight was approaching in a few hours. I had spent the day checking in on my warriors and the rotation. I also had a coven meeting to attend, which went as flawless as usual. I didn’t tell anyone anything about what was going on, I figured it was best to take care of it myself and not worry everyone over what was sure to be nothing. I spoke to my brother Ramses, and everything was going well. Apparently, he had already sealed half of his bargain last night… whatever that meant. But with him, I’m sure it had to do with sex of some sort. He was very fond of it, that one. He reassured me that tonight was indeed still on.I had Marina's hair and I was ready to be done with this bullshit. With her out of the picture I could get back home and away from this whole mess. The alliance would be in place, and I could go back to having peace in my otherwise crazy life. Midnight couldn’t come soon enough. Come 9:00pm I was to meet Roxy at the diner as promised. Our
Chapter 25“Do you have the hair?” Katrina asked Raphael. “I do.” He said as he handed it to her. Her fingers grazed his as she took the hair, and she took a sharp breath in. He didn’t even notice, but I did. I wondered who his chosen mate was anyways, him and Katrina would make a great pair! “Knowing your brother, it’s probably some dirty Necromancer.” Titan howled. I laughed internally at his retort. He wasn’t wrong though. I could see it, him and a Necromancer. Hell, that reminded me, I wanted to see some of these Necromancers too. Maybe I could arrange to stick around a bit once this was all said and done. I’ll bet those Necromancers would just love to have two Reavers invading their castle. "You find the best looking one and we'll show her just how invading we can be." Titan howled. I agreed with my Wolf, I was more than ready! “What else do we need to do?” Raphael asked Katrina. “Nothing, just stay back.” She said. Her and her sisters took the hair in one hand with each of the
Chapter 26“Marina is dead.” I said to him. I could see a sparkle in his eye. “Dead for good, dead?” He questioned. “Yes.” I shot back. “It’s about fucking time.” He snarled. Then he locked eyes with Haven, who smiled at him. He walked over to her, taking her into his arms. “Leave us.” He commanded, and he picked Haven up wandering towards the bed. “Man, just when it was getting good too.” Ramses cackled. We were just about to materialize away when the entire room went dark. “What the hell?” Ramses stammered. We turned around to see Haven commanding the elements. She had Blaze levitating in the air in a whirlwind. “You will not touch me again, Necromancer.” She spewed. The venom was thick in her angelic voice. “Haven… What are you doing, princess?” I asked her cautiously. She locked eyes with me, and her face softened. “Raphael, come with me. Let’s go. Together. We can escape this place and go anywhere else.” She pleaded. I could see the longing in her eyes. Besides the marks pull,
