After practicing few other spells, Ariel was pretty worn out and Dave led her back into the house and then to the dinning room. "You have practiced enough, you need something to eat" Dave said as he gestured Ariel to sit on the dinning chair. He then walked into the kitchen. In a few minutes, he came out holding a tray of steamed buns and ramen noodles. "Please eat" Dave said to her before walking away. "So he cooks too...nice. Gosh, I didn't even get to thank him. He's been so nice to me"Ariel said inwardly before eating.When she was done, she went straight to the room. As she lay on the bed, she realized something. When she slept here earlier, she didn't hear Micheal's voice. She slept peacefully for the first time in a long time. "That damned witch is really scared of Sebastian" she said as she smiled and closed her eyes preparing to sleep.~~~~~~Sebastian was in his library with a very stern expression plastered on his face. He stared at the two men before him "As you know, Mich
Morning finally came and Ariel yawned as she got up from the bed. She took her bath and the moment she opened the wardrobe, her eyes almost popped out of the sockets when she saw the clothes that were in there. Since she arrived as a package in Sebastian's home, she had never opened the wardrobe to see the clothes that he had Dave prepare for her. All the clothes were either too short or too exposed in certain areas. With Ariel's decent personality, she was not the type to wear these kind of clothes.She thought of wearing her old clothes but remembered that she washed them while talking her bath. With a towel still around her chest, she walked out of the room.On her way down the stairs, she met Xavier. The guy looked like he just woke up, being that he was still in his pyjamas. "Uhmm... Good morning. Do you know where Dave is?" Ariel asked biting her lips out of shame because she was in a towel. Xavier scanned her from her head to her toe and smiled before saying "I think he's in th
Ariel and the butler Davd, came out of the kitchen and served the food on the table. Ariel was so embarrassed when she saw Sebastian as she remembered what she did earlier. He wasn't looking at her now but she felt his burning gaze was on her. When she wanted to place his food in front of him, she heard what she least expected "Run you little human...run!!" With that, her hand shook and the hot meal she was holding landed on Sebastian's thigh.Sebastian only sighed from the burning sensation on his thigh. He looked at Ariel and her hands were shaking. Dave rushed towards her and asked her what the problem was and she could only say "Micheal.... it's Mich..ael" her shaky voice troubled Dave but the other guys didn't look surprised at all. "Is he bothering you again?" Dave asked and Ariel nodded. She looked like a drenched scared stray cat at that point. Dave glared at Sebastian and Sebastian gave him a questioning look in return before standing up. Sebastian headed to his study. When
Sebastian had some arrows in hand and an apple when he walked into the garden where Ariel was and placed them on a table. Dave had already placed any other thing they would need there in the garden. Sebastian didn't waste any second to start her training."Archery is not that hard but at the same time, it requires concentration and your mind and your body being at peace. There are seven steps to make you a good Archer. First, Balance and coordination. Secondly, Accuracy. Thirdly, Calm and Composure. Fourthly, Precision. Then, Perception of Depth, Arrow drawing and handling and lastly, Arrow Nocking. Got it?" Sebastian said staring at his red-haired student. "I think so" Ariel said smiling awkwardly as this was the first time he said such a long statement to her. Instead of listening to what he was saying, she was staring at his lips and was in awe of his deep voice. He was really down to teach her how on to protect herself. Ariel sighed and placed her spell book on a exquisite wooden
Back in her room Ariel was worried that she hurt Sebastian badly so she decided to go to his room to see him. Something she has never done before and the house was so big and had many rooms that if you don't know your way, you might actually end up in laundry room if you were headed to the kitchen. Ariel found herself in a part of the house she has never been before. This area had six rooms. Sighing, Ariel said to herself "I guess I'll just have to check all of them then". The opened the door to the first room, it looked like a guest room because it had everything a room should have and it was well kept. She went to the second room, all she found was some bags on the floor. It looked like they stored some things in them. "Where the hell is his room?" Ariel uttered as she went to the third room. The door to this room was locked but curiosity got the better of Ariel as she used a spell to unlock the door. Though she had just started learning spells, she was good at it like it was alread
Knocking on Ariel's door, Xavier called out to Ariel but didn't get any response. "Ariel, I'm coming in " Xaiver said before walking into the room to see Ariel all hurdled up in the bed. Ariel knew it wasn't Sebastian because of the voice, before Xaiver could come any closer, she said to him "You're part of the Mafia too aren't you". "Ariel, let me explain okay? We won't hurt you that's something you should already know by now and besides, this is a family thing" Xaiver said with the last sentence referring to them being among the Mafia. He walked closer to her bed and sat on the couch close to it. "Then what's with the fucking human skulls I saw in there? It's a family thing to keep human skulls in your home and use them as decoration?" Ariel said raising her voice a little. She was pissed and scared. "There's an explanation for that" Xaiver said rubbing the back of his neck. She was pretty aggressive with her choice of words whenever she was pissed."Then tell me because I don't kno
It was finally the day for Sebastian, his brother and Ariel to embark on their trip. Ariel was wearing a pink turtle neck sweater and a blue jean trouser and boots, it was pretty cold but not too cold outside so her fit was perfect for the weather. While Sebastian was wearing causal clothes, a T-shirt and sweatpants and damn it was hard for Ariel not to stare at him. Even in causal wears, he still looked damn good with his arms and veins on his hands flexing themselves at her.Ariel stood outside the house with her luggage and a few of her stuff in hand as she watched Xavier carry a black bag inside the car. She knew it wasn't his stuff because he had already placed those in the car earlier. In a millisecond, Dave also walked out of the house with another black bag in hand. She was quite inquisitive about the content of the bag but decided to shake it off her mind after saying "Probably their mafia stuff..". After they placed everything they needed inside the car, they all entered the
Ariel was fast asleep while Xavier was having a discussion with the pilot in the cockpit and the bodyguards were minding their business but a man with a pair of golden orbs was staring at the girl that was sleeping. For some reason, he enjoyed watching her sleep and this was not the first time he was doing it. To him, she was like an endangered specie in hibernation. He felt like reaching out to touch her and probably squeeze her also. Xavier was back from the cockpit and caught him staring at Ariel and started to tease him. "You must really enjoy looking at her". Sebastian sighed and decided to ignore his brother and asked "Why do you think her hair is like that?" Referring to Ariel's blood red colored hair. Xavier didn't expect Sebastian to ask that but just said "It just shows that she's special" Xavier said . Not referring to the fact that she was half a witch but she was special without that fact. "I guess so" Sebastian said as he finally took his eyes off her. Now she's asleep,
