Jazz and Aunt Becky are still looking at the silver guy's beauty.
"Is this an angel?" Aunt Becky asked.
"He was literally spying on us and you call him an angel?" Sky rolls her eyes, "why are you here?"
"Um…..*laughs*…I" he laughs nervously.
Sky paused and looked at nothing in particular. "I know you have been watching us for a very long time, but it ends here." She says that and chants a little spell, and then turns to the silver-haired guy and smiles, "she can't see us now."
"What is your name, silver guy?" Jazz asked.
"My name? Oh.. My name."He looks like a shy kitten, of course, apparently he is standing in front of the one he admires the most. "Alex," he smiles.
"You haven't answered the question I asked, why are you here?" sky asked again.
"It is not what it looks like, I mean no harm, just wanted the dark magic for my lady." He explained.
"But you are well aware of the fact that dark magic is not advisable to use and it does not balance with nature." She crossed her arms.
"Yes, I am." He answered honestly.
"Hmm, okay. Now leave." She narrows her eyes at him. "And never show yourself."
Alex sighs out of relief, she is feisty and scary. "Okay."
"Wait." Jazz stops him from leaving, "join us for lunch."
"Jazz?" Sky looks at her.
Aunt Beck smiles, she can see where this is heading to, she could see the way this guy looked at her niece. She could admire his eyes.
"What?" Jazz smiles at her.
"Don't get gutted Jazz." Sky glares at him, and leaves them to go and clear the place where they performed the ritual.
Jazz stopped him because she likes him for her best friend, he looks so cute for her. She also noticed the way he answered her honestly and how nervous he looked, like he was in front of his crush. So she decided to make him stay a little longer.
Aunt Becky will soon leave for the airport in the next one hour, so she decided to join them for lunch, as she is already having fun the way Sky was glaring at Alex, and how he would shriek every time she glares at him.
........
"What is all this?" Melinda groans.
She is really pissed off, "how is she able to detect him? How is she able to know that I have been watching her." she looks at her black crystal ball, which is currently blank. Now she can't know what is going on around her and her friend.
"This girl is more powerful than I thought. I think I underestimated her." She tries several spells to bring back the images, but all in vain.
"This is really frustrating. I wonder how Alex is doing right now. Hope he gets home safely."
She already has the dark magic that came out Betty, so they will have to end it here for now. The ascendant has been destroyed already, so no need to push more.
.......
Betty is standing in front of her parents, but she is not looking nervous at all.
"Why? You didn't have to go that far dear." Her mom said.
"Just wanted to have my revenge, that's all. She is just lucky she has that witch as a friend. I won't really care whatever happens to her." she answered.
At first she was scared of what her parents would say to her, but after giving it some thought, she decided to face them. She is ready to face anyone that tries to talk to her about what she did. She is also ready to face the punishment, and she will definitely do more.
"Can you hear yourself talk?" her father yells. "This is my entire fault, I spoiled you too much." He looks down.
"You don't have to blame yourself for anything, that girl stole everything from me," her eyes turned watery, "she stole my spotlight."
"No one has stolen anything from you, you are just being unnecessarily jealous. I didn't train my daughter to be a jealous brat." He retorts at her, he is trying his best not to hit her.
"Dear, take it easy on her." his wife holds him.
"I will definitely get all that she stole from me, it's a promise, and I am not giving up on that." And with that she storms out of the sitting room, straight to her room and bangs the door.
"Did you see that? She walked out on her parents. Oh good Lord, what have I done?" he cried out.
......…
The maids serve lunch on the dining table.
"Sit." Jazz said to Alex.
He sits, but far away from Sky. 'Does she have to always glare at me like that? I didn't hurt her, or her best friend. I just needed the dark magic for Melinda, that's all.'
They ate silently, Sky won't stop glaring at him, 'gosh, really? Must he be here? We don't even know this guy, for fuck sake. We don't even know his motive, and why he needs the black magic. Why did she have to make him stay here?'
The lunch is finally over, as the maids cleared the dishes.
"So tell me, what do you do?" Sky asked.
That is surprising, when she doesn't even want this guy around, and now she wants to know more about him.
"I am just a messenger." He smiled at her, "a good one."
Alex is only being like this only because he wants to get her attention, all the scratching of head, talking nervously, answering honestly, and shrieking any time she glares at him. And it worked.
"A messenger...for whom? The one that has been watching us from the crystal?" she asked, she is probably interviewing him.
"Yes, that's right." He winks at her, finally acting normal.
"Name?"
"Melinda."
"Why didn't you leave when I caught you?" She looked at him closely.
"Nothing."
"You want something, right?"
'Gosh why all the interrogations, what does she want to hear? Gosh she is amazing.'
"You have asked me that before."
"Yes I know, are you trying to call me dumb?" she stands.
"No, no, no. Why would I?"
"Now answer." She sits.
Her evidence tells her he wants something, this time not from his master, but from him.
"Yes I want something." He finally answered.
"Waiting to hear what that is."
Meanwhile, the other two ladies just watched these two as they talked, it's like they were in their own world all together.
"you." He simply answered.
"What?" Her eyes turned wide.
Aunt Becky and Jazz smiles, looks like he finally decided to let her know. Sky was totally oblivious to the way he was looking at her earlier. She is an expert when it comes to magic and all that, but has no history in relationships, she always causes a disaster.
She stands and pulls him out of the dining room, she drags him out of the house. Aunt Becky and Jazz laugh at the two.
...........
An hour before Emily went missing.
Underworld,
The trio arrived at the underworld, when they got inside, people recognized Raymond, as well as Ella who caused a mess the first time she came there.
The whole place is filled with pop music, they are all drinking, some bourbon, while some are drinking blood. Some are doing a lot of kissing and intimate stuff, male to female, male to male, female to female.
"Hello buddy. What brings you here?" one of the vampires asked, Leo.
He is Raymond's friend, and he keeps Raymond updated on the things happening in the underworld. Raymond is to be the next king of the underworld, it has been decided already.
"Just wanted to look around with them." He smiles at him.
"And who is this beauty?"He asked, referring to Emily. "I can clearly remember this lady, she caused a wreck." He laughs, he is referring to Ella.
She glares at him and the whole people that kept looking at her. 'I will gouge out all of your eyes, just wait when I get that chance. I still have to meet that bastard for the last time.'
While Raymond was busy showing Emily around and introducing her to how the system works for the vampires, Ella was busy plotting how she was going to complete the revenge she was not able to finish the last time she came here.
Raymond shows Emily their blood bank, fresh ones.
"This bank always gets refilled after a week, this is where I get blood, sometimes." Meaning he likes to drink from the veins, but he is not a ripper.
Emily nods as she looks at the way everyone danced and how they looked so happy, she could see how some looked at her.
"They don't usually go out during the day, only at night. You know, nocturnal."
"What about you? How are you able to move during the day?"she asked looking curious.
Raymond smiles, "this." He raised his hand as he showed her a ring.
"What is that?"
"A daylight ring, it helps a vampire to be able to move around during the day."
"But this one, they don't have the daylight ring." She holds his hands as she touches the ring.
"Still in progress."
"What is it made of? Is there some kind of magic in it?"
"Yes, you got this one right, it is made of magic and by a witch. These ones, their own, are still in progress and are being trained on how to stay close to the humans without hurting them." He explained.
Ella finally comes up with an idea as she looks at Emily and smiles, while the other is oblivious to what this crazy witch was thinking. What is she thinking? It is definitely not good.
