Hazel was surprised at this gesture since, since the last week he hadn't been close to her except when giving orders. Xavier didn't wait for her answer as he helped her off her gown leaving her in her shimmy that stopped on her mid thighs. He carried her into the bathroom and into the bathtub so she could soak in it. After a while, he asked
"How are you feeling?"
"Much better"
"Hmmn" he said starting to wonder how the blue berry juice could have this much effect on her, cause it doesn't have that much effect on witches and she said she was one. The irritation on her arm as a result of that potion she inhaled was now visible proving that indeed she was a witch but the juice.
"Why are you staring at my arm?" she asked noticing his line of sight
"Its healing" he said referring to the irritation
"Yeah"
"Could you explain better, how you're a witch?"
She took a deep breath before she started
"My dad was a human but my mum was a witch, I never knew about it until my dad went missing, then my mum told me"
"You just recently found out?"
"Yes. According to my mum, she was from Rivelle, she stayed at Flish town with her parents until people began to notice that they were witches"
"Are you a dark witch?"
"No, but my mum was"
"Then how are you not, cause I've never heard of anything like this before"
"I don't know, my mum said I lost my dark witch capabilities when I was young and became a white witch, I guess I'm a first"
"A white witch?"
"Yes"
"My mum fled from Rivelle for her life after her parents were caught and burnt, she came to Bougreve where she met my dad"
"Did your dad know she was a witch?"
"No, he didn't but my mum never hurt him… my dad was already betrothed to someone but he fell for my mum. My dad's parents were not happy with it so they disowned him, he eloped with my mum to Baruve in Bougreve, there someone the news spread about it and people called my mum a whore for snatching someone's man. We never had visitors or friends and people assumed she was a witch that casted a spell on my dad"
"I guess that why you hated that name"
"Yes, when my mum told me at first, I didn't want to come in terms with it, but she explained I was a dark witch but a white witch, she didn't know anything on white witch since its been very long they existed and she didn't know why I changed to one"
"Yeah, they existed a long time ago"
"So are you going to throw me out"
"Why?" He said raising a brow
"Cause all witches when caught ate burnt"
"I would have thrown you out if I wanted to since last week"
"Why are you helping the dark witches, I've noticed them come here often and I guess they are planning something"
"You can identity them"
"Yeah, my mum told me how to"
"They want to unbind the dark magic and to do that they need me"
"Need you? Why?"
"Because I'm a demon"
That rang in Hazel's head for some couple of seconds, so he was truly a demon as the rumors had said and all this while, she had been sharing a bad with a demon!!
"Y-your're a d-demon!"
"Yes I am" he said in a very calm voice, too calm
"But you're a vampire"
"I still am"
"How"
"My mum was a fallen demon and my dad was a vampire"
"Fallen demon? They exist?"
"Yes, she returned back to hell when I was just a boy leaving me motherless and my dad remarried also leaving me fatherless" he said with so much hate
'Was this why he said he never had caring parents' Hazel thought
"The dark witched need a demon for their sacrifices"
"No just for the last massacre"
"And you agreed to it, you really want to die"
"I'm to some extent immortal, rabbit, but there's someone that can end me"
"Really"
"Yeah, a girl"he said and he noticed that she was slightly shivering already due to the coldness of the water"I think you've soaked enough" he said raising her up. Her shimmy had already clung to her body and her curves were out for show. Xavier said a simple prayer in his head to stop all naughty thoughts coming. He passed her a towel and a casual dress for her to change to and left the bathroom. He sat on the bed and asked Collins to get a glass of blood for him, seeing her in that state had caused some reactions in him and he needed blood urgently. Collins brought in the glass and he drank it in a go but it still didn't taste like Hazel's.
Hazel cane out some time later to see how frustrated he was on the bed
"Are you alright"
"Yes, just thirsty" she turned to the table besides the bed to see the glass he just dank from and she was understood that he wanted hers but was just holding himself. She carried the glass searching for a knife around the room, Xavier on the other hand failed to notice what she was doing, when she found one, she cut herself with it and let the blood flow into the cup. Xavier who immediately smelt the smell of blood snapped his eyes to her direction to see her bringing the cup towards him
"You said you are thirsty" she explained
His eyes moved to her palm where she cut herself and he raised it to his lips licking the palm free of blood
"I would heal faster as I licked it" he said as he lifted his head up, he took the glass and drank it and he almost sigh with relief, its been long he tasted her blood.
"Thank you"
Wow that was a first
"My pleasure,Milord… so about the girl threatening your life"
"She's currently in Rivelle, the dark witches wants her so they could kill me but I want to capture her first and eliminate her, that's why I'm working with them at the main time"
"Kill her? Isn't that a bit much"
"She's the only person that can get to me, so I have to eliminate her before she does that to me"
"The girl in question might not even know you exist or know that she affects you in such way"
"I don't care"
"And if the witches get her before you?"
"No they won't"
There was a pause before she spoke again, deciding to change the topic
"Uhm... Do you know anyone named Jordan Smith"
"Yes, he's a councilman here at Borreve"
"I haven't seen him around before"
"He went on a vacation few weeks back"
"I saw him at the party…"
Xavier was secretly getting jealous as she spoke of him
"… he's nice and handsome too, I loved the way he smiled"
"Don't tell me this is love at first sight" he said with so much distaste
"No, I'm just admiring"
"Really"
"Have you considered falling n love before" she asked
"…"
"You have to try it, its a good feeling"
"You think anyone will love a demon, everyone is scared of me"
"Well I'm not scared"
"Even after hearing I'm a demon"
"I told you, you've only shown me your good side so…"
"No one but you says that"
"…"
"Not everyone knows I'm a demon rabbit, apart from the rumors, its just Lucas and the dark witches that knows"
"You're not scared I'll tell someone"
"I could just do the same with you"
"What of Lady Dorin?"
"What about her?"
"She loves you"
"She said so?"
"She does"
"She says so doesn't mean she means it, she's after the Ladyship title"
"—"
"But I do have someone in mind"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"What's her name"
"I'll tell you later"
