More mysteries

The person that appeared before Melinda earlier who turned out to be a guy by name Lord Charles is now with some group of witches, the high class ones. There are five of them, inside the courtroom.

Mrs. Sparkle, Lord Steven, Mr. Sean, Lady Marinette, and Lord Carlos.

"So what did she say? Did she agree to show her face?" Mr. Sean asked.

"She did not comment anything about that." He answered, "It is like she is avoiding it."

"I have a bad feeling about this, for months we still don't know what our current queen looks like nor her right hand man." Lady Marinette hissed out of frustration.

"How did we even elect her as a queen? I still don't understand." Mr. Sean stood up as he made his way to the door.

"Are you leaving already?" Mrs. Sparkle asked.

"Of course I am, we can't sit here and do nothing. What if she is an imposter? Unfortunately I wasn't aware of her being a queen." He answered.

"I agree to that." Lord Steven chips in.

Truth is that nobody ever put Melinda there, it was all Alex did, he made everyone believe that the former queen was dead and that she had assigned Melinda as next.

Lord Carlos has been quiet ever since the meeting, he just smiled inwardly at their foolishness.

.........….

"You look so sweet, it has been a long time since I had blood directly from the vein." One of the men that cornered Emily said.

"Oh, how I miss that." The other inhales her scent sharply.

"Get away from me. Raymond will kill you all if you harm me." She slaps away the hand of the guy that had a history with Ella.

"This bitch. How dare you?" he drags her hair, his fangs coming out ready to bite.

"Let me go, you don't have to do this." Emily turns scared.

"Wait, you are not really serious about drinking from her right?" the last of the four asked.

"Does it look like I am joking? He drinks from them and rips their heads off."

"But you know the rules." The third one said, "they are starting to reconsider it, "its Raymond we are talking about, remember?"

"I don't see why we all here have to abide by the rules of not drinking from a human and ripping their heads off. While he has his own free will of doing whatever he wants."

The vampires are to abide by the rules of not feeding directly from any human, because the witches are after them, especially the rippers. So the witch that is making their daylight ring or so they thought made a barrier spell, that no one can leave at night and by the day, if you try you will get burnt.

"Guys I have a bad feeling about this, what if that witch is here. You know she can be crazy."

"Yeah, she is really crazy. And you all will witness that once again." This voice is not from any of them.

Emily sighs when she hears the voice, finally she is here to save her.

They all turn towards the person as the head Luka laughs. "Long time no see witch. It's been a minute."

"No pleasantries' please. I don't accept one." She walks towards them and slaps his hand away from Emily.

"I did it." Emily smiles, making Luka confused.

"You…" he could not complete his words when he received a slap from her, while others scampered away.

"That's for touching a human." Then she slaps him again. "That's for trying to hurt a woman."

"Gosh.. Ouch..." he holds his face, this is humiliation.

"This was technically a trap I set for you, and you fell for it." Ella laughs.

Earlier,

Raymond is talking to one of his buddies, not like a close one though.

"Don't let him know, he won't allow you." Ella whispers.

"But can't you get the phone yourself? You are stronger than me and I might get cornered by some." Emily stated.

"Yes I know which is why I want you to go, help me get someone, I want to use you as bait. I will explain later once we get home."

Emily looks at her with the 'does this pone know what she is saying' look.

"Please, I promise you won't get hurt."

Present,

"I almost got hurt though, but he is fine as long as he gets a slap for it." Emily adjusts her hair.

"So all this was a set up? Oh my word." He scoffs "you still cannot get over the fact that I killed your boyfriend, oh sorry you're soon to be husband." He laughs.

And she slaps him again this time it is louder, she doesn't care if anyone hears it. But no one can, the music is quite loud.

"Keep hitting me. You are just lucky to be a witch, I would have ripped your heart out."

"Which makes you a loser mate?" She smiles at him.

"How dare you?" he tries to grab her, but you can't overpower a witch, except if they have lost their magic.

She didn't bother touching him as she looked at him intensely, making him wince in pain. It's like they are ringing the big church bell and you are standing beside it, this is exactly what is happening in his head.

His crotches in pain "stop it please. Just stop it." He winced.

"See how powerless you are. Where is that nerve you had when you were blabbing just now?"

"I will make you pay for this." He looks at her.

She is messing with his brain, then she starts to chant some spells, making the guy moan in pain. She didn't stop, blood started to come out of his eyes and nose.

She wants to kill him, but in a painful way, this process makes one bleed, then the heart rate reduces, then the person collapses, then death follows.

"I would have staked you, but you won't feel enough pain, so I will only use this means. Feel that pain, the pain you inflicted on Mask, what you made me go through." She continues.

"Argh…..it hurts." He didn't stop shouting, he touched his eyes to only see blood an same with his nose. 'Is this how I will die? Is this how this witch will kill me?'

"That's enough already." Someone finally stops them. "You should stop here Ella."

...............…..

Damon stayed with them for a little while.

"We should not let anyone else know about this till I hear from my aunt." Sky said, she leaves to her room.

"I will be going, I have to be somewhere and it is very important."

"Sure, I will see you on Monday, drive safe." She hugs him again.

All this while Damon has been smiling inwardly, he is really happy to see how Jazz has been communicating with him. Now she hugs him freely, not hesitating like before.

"Yeah, I will." He smiles.

She sees him off to his car and when he is about to drive off, she stops him.

"Hey wait." She stops him, indicating that he should wind down his glass, which he did, and then she pecks him on his cheek and runs off.

Damon's eyes turned wide, "uh…what just happened?" he touched his check, and then smiled.

...............…

Alex appears before Melinda.

"Seriously? Will it take eternity to get your ass back here? Not like you succeeded in it." She scoffs.

"Please can I turn the lights on? It is really getting annoying here." He said in a serious voice.

Melinda didn't say anything, she can't say anything when this guy is serious. She is powerful, but he is more powerful and you dare not mess with him when he is angry or serious.

He switches the lights on, and the room becomes bright. It is like a big hall and Melinda is by the edge of the room, it is decorated in a witch style, black and white wallpaper, gold chandelier in the middle of the room, shelves filled with different spell books, the magic wands which they use are placed in a vase, then skeleton skulls and bones are attached to the wall making it look creepy.

At first when she and Alex came here, he was so against it, he hated to stay here, she had to talk him through, this is going to be the opportunity they have been waiting for, and they should not let it slip away, which he finally agreed to.

She is sitting on a big chair made of silver, the queen's chair. While her crystal ball is on its stand facing her directly.

"Look at me Melinda. It has been a long time since I saw that lovely face." He walks towards her.

Melinda looks at him, she is really beautiful, has red hair which makes her look evil, gray eyeballs.

"Why are you like this Alex?" she asked, there is definitely something wrong with him and it can only be when he sees any of his family members, which she knows. "Did you by any chance see them?" she asked.

"That is none of your business." He sits on the couch opposite her. The tension in the room becomes extremely high, which is really suffocating.

Melinda becomes sad, as she looks away, making Alex feel guilty.

"I am sorry for being harsh." He smiles at her.

"Asshole." She cursed him, which made him laugh, the good mood in the room has been restored.

"My sweet lady." He answered her In his usual fake tiny voice.

"So what about the ascendant?" Melinda asked.

He smiles at her, and then brings it out. "You can trust me to do anything for your love."

Melinda smiles, this is why she likes him, he makes people believe what they see, but it is the other way round.

"This is what only a Tribrid can do, love. Oh sweet Sky I am really sorry for this." He faced sadness.

"She will understand." Melinda smirks, and they burst out in laughter.
