Chapter 12 - Suicidal action

Raymond knocks at Emily's door.

"Emily love? Are you in there?" He said gently.

No response.

So he opens the door gently, only to see her on the bed and by her side is a pill carton.

He rushed to her.

"Emily? Don't be silly." He carries her straight to Ella's room.

"What happened?" Ella asked looking surprised, she didn't notice this at all, after all she is a witch.

"I don't know, do something to stop the pill from taking control of her whole body." Looking frustrated for the first time over someone who is not close to him or he loves.

Ella chants some spells and feeds her some herbal medicine.

"She's going to be fine." Ella sighs.

"How did this happen?" Raymond asked as he went to her, where she laid on the bed. And placed his two hands on the side of her head, he is trying to assess her memory.

The day of the founders party.

Raymond was so absentminded about Jazz that he didn't know when Emily left his side.

She went outside, like totally far from the school and made a call.

"I need the pills, please get them for me, it's urgent." She looked frightened.

That was her biggest chance of escaping but she was scared that Ella was going to notice. That's silly.

After five minutes, someone drove a car towards her, the person's face was covered and it was hard to tell who the person was, even to know if he was a male or a female.

She took a very little black package from him and went back straight to the party.

She gets to the party and stands to one side as she poured herself a glass of champagne, then secretly opened the package, as she took out something and put inside the drink. Someone might think she is spiking Raymond or Ella's drink, cos it has to be one of them, but no, she sips the drink slowly and smiles bitterly.

She initially finished that glass of champagne and repeated the same thing, before Raymond came to her.

"Emily? I've been looking all over for you and here you are sipping your glass of champagne." He takes her hand. "Come on, don't bore yourself, let's walk around".

Present,

Raymond opens his eyes, his mood is so sour right now.

"What did you see?" Ella asked.

And he explained everything he saw.

"But the funny thing is that she had the chance to run, why executing it in the house isn't that silly? She could have ran at that party, why take a stupid pill?" He is so frustrated.

"What made her change her mind? Why don't you find out." Ella suggested.

"If she changed her mind, then I guess that not all, there must be something to it." He placed his hands on her head again.

Last night,

Emily got to the room, as her breaths were heavy, she just finished her dinner with Raymond and Ella and wanted to go and sleep.

She got to her bed in tears as she kept mumbling some words.

"I had the intentions of dying in their hands, but I don't want to die, but that is not an option,*sniffs* because if I escape,they will still get me, one is a witch and the other is a vampire. It's just like escaping and dying. I'll try to *sniffs* escape tomorrow, if I change my mind that *sniffs* automatically means dying."

After crying, she looks at the pills and shakes her head, and goes to sleep.

Present,

Raymond is fuming, this is really bad.

"I can't believe this, I know people call me a monster yes, but at least I treated her nicely."

"Calm down Ray, you honestly won't blame her, you took her against her will. It's not like you compelled her, you didn't and you didn't even kill her, like you normally do.

Hunt,feed, compel, kill. You didn't do any of that to her, so you're still a good person, she only needs time." She tries to calm him down.

"She'll wake up anything soon, or now, so stay calm and don't frighten her, please Raymond." Ella pleads as she leaves the room, she's not so bad after all, but only to those that she loves.

Raymond breathes in and out, trying his best to stay calm. He doesn't want to scare the girl again.

Emily opens her eyes slowly, her eyes are blurry as she manages to open them.

"I'm alive, I didn't die?" She sat up and the first person she sees is Raymond, her heart skips immediately.

Of course he noticed her fear, he could hear her heartbeat, it turned out fast.

"You're awake,you scared us." He smiled at her,but this time it was different, there was pain in his eyes.

Emily noticed it. She could see the sadness.

"Thank God, I am a witch." Ella came inside the room.

"I am sorry, for putting you guys in this condition, I was being selfish,even when I wasn't hurt….." She apologized.

"Come here." Raymond cuts in.

"You shouldn't make her stand up." Ella snaps.

"It's fine." Emily walks to where Raymond was sitting.

"Sit." He pays his legs. Which Emily did without any complaint.

"Am I that bad, I am really sorry for everything. How can I make it up to you?". He said out of the blue.

' Wait, what? Am I hearing double? Did the brat just apologize? Wow.' Ella's mind was wondering.

...…

Back to Damon and Jazz.

He brought her to a bar,

"Two glasses of tequila please,with ice." Damon ordered

"Damon, I like this place. I want to dance, " she said as sipped her tequila.

"You want to dance?"

"Yes, can you also dance? Let's dance together. It'll be fun, come on." She drops her drink, collects his own and drops. Then, drags him to the dance floor.

Damon laughed as he allowed her to do what she wanted to do.

They danced to the music, she's so happy.

"Come on Damon,do your style." She touched his cheek.

The Demon that has been coded all this while, decided to be bad.

He danced with her, the way they danced was amazing, the spinning was great.

Some people gave them a little space and watched them.

The way he is looking at her right now, is like the way a predator looks at his prey, but is in love with his prey and can't pounce on it.

After the dance,

"That was fun." Jazz breathed heavily as she laughed.

They stayed a little, Damon could see the piercing eyes these guys are giving to Jazz and he doesn't like it.

"Jazz, let's go home, it's getting late already." He said to her,

"How much is the drink?" He asked the bartender. Who brought the bill and gave it to him.

He pays it and leads Jazz outside the bar. It's evening already.

"Please can we stop at any ice cream joint, I want to get one for Dylan." Jazz said immediately, she almost forgot about it.

"Sure, anything for you." He said smiling. He is holding himself from calling her sweet names.

"Are you flirting with me right now?" She burst out in laughter.

"Am I? I guess I am, I'm very good at it." He puffs his cheek.

"Oh please, let's go." She rolls her eyes.

Honestly the way he spoke to her, her heart skipped a bit. But she won't admit it anyway.

He started the engine of the car and they zoomed off.

They finally got home.

They alighted from the car.

"Thanks for coming with me today, it meant a lot to me. Still means. I really had fun with you." Damon said.

"I should be thanking you for taking me to those places. I've never been there before, you know. And being there was all because of you." She smiled at him and hugged him. "Goodnight Damon." She pecks him on his cheek. And went inside.

Damon is still standing there looking so surprised.

Meanwhile,

Mr Robert and his wife looked worried.

"I initially thought that he was here for a different reason, but it turned out that those two are meant to be together." He frowns.

"And what is Sky doing about this situation? Raymond too is in the picture, we should have eliminated them both, when we had the opportunity. I still don't know why Sky didn't do that." He can't stop complaining.

" I'll talk to her, I trust her dear, she won't let anything happen to our daughter again." His wife tries calming him down.

"What if something happens to her again, I don't want anything hurting her, it's really frustrating when history is about repeating itself again."

Truth is that the Robert family are the Pure Alphas, but something went off in their bloodline, something that has never happened before in their generations.

And Mr Robert can't stop stressing about it.

"Find out what Sky is up to and make sure she keeps an eye on my daughter, I don't want those hunting eyes on my daughter." He said "I'll head to the study room, I am really stressed out right now, and really need to cool off." He left.

The tension in the room is really off, this is all about their daughter, they have been worried ever since she turned at the age of thirteen.

Even though she has a witch as her best friend, a strong witch,they still can't help it but worry, especially now they found out she is the council president.

It's really frustrating how things turned out. They came to the city, hoping everything will be fine and normal . But it's like it's getting worse as days go by.
