VAMPIRE'S ADDICTION

2. Time Witch

CHAPTER TWO

DAMIAN’S POV

I shift my focus from Sean locked up in Madeline’s containment spells to the beautiful woman lying on the couch. She was yet to regain consciousness and so I took that chance to stare into her face, drink in her beauty. Her eyes warped beautifully over her cheeks and I leaned in, to push a strand of hair off her face.

“It sucks that she hates me,” I confided as Madeline walked over to where I was crouched beside the couch Jenifer laid. She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder but that did nothing to ease what I was feeling inside. Since I met Jenifer, my dead heart had suddenly come back to life.

“She doesn’t hate you Damian. Finding out that hot neighbor next door who finally made a move on you is a vampire, is not something that you just get over in one day. Give her time and she’ll get over it and rush into your arms,” she said with a smile.

“How much time? I’m losing my freaking mind Mads,” I grunted in frustration, glancing in her eyes but she let a sigh leave her lips.

“Look, I get that you are in love with her but you need to give her some time off. She needs to wrap her head around all this and finally accept that this is reality. Stay off her radar, though I’m not sure that is going to happen anytime soon because of Sean,”

We both glanced at the Sean baring his fangs while attempting to get past the containment spell in Jenifer’s living room but failing miserably. Well, Madeline was no small witch when it came to the spells.

“Ugh,” We both turned to Jenifer groaning while trying to flutter her eyes open.

“That was one bad dream,” She groaned but then a loud scream escaped her lips when her gaze fell on Sean,” It was not a f*****g dream,”

“Calm down Jenifer,” I attempted to sooth her, grabbing her palms to keep her still. For a second she did remain still, meeting my gaze and damn, her eyes had never stopped being so entrancing. My eyes fell on her slightly parted lips and all my brain could do was scream for me to kiss the hell out of her but she’d probably hate more than she already does if I were to do just that.

The door knob turning caught our attention and we all looked at the door just as Chloe rushed in, stopping when she noticed us.

“Oh! Y-You guys are home,” she said in realization,” S-sean?” She muttered in shock, staggering back a little. Well, her reaction was better than Jenifer’s.

“Are you bunking classes Chloe?” Jenifer questioned sternly as she walked towards her sister.

“No. I just…I could not stay in school, okay? Something happened but first I need to know what the hell is going on here. We buried Sean and suddenly he is here looking like he dug his way out of a grave? And what is that blood on his shirt? Did he kill someone or something?” Her eyes widened considerably.

“Its human blood but he seemingly couldn’t stomach it. Sean is a fledgling. It seems he died with vampire blood in his system and is still in transition. What seems odd about this, is that he has not had any human or animal blood inside him but he was strong enough to walk all the way from the cemetery straight here. Usually fledglings are weak but he looks so damn strong. What I do not understand is how the hell he would head straight here,” Madeline offered an explanation, her eyebrow knitted in a deep frown and that was when I stepped in.

“That’s because he is still tied to his sire and whoever this sire is, must have sent him straight here to drink from Jenifer or maybe Chloe. That is only blood he can stomach,” I added as the two sisters looked at me in horror.

“So some vampire is trying to kill me and my sister. You know who I blame for all this Damian? You. If you had not come into my life I would be living in peace. If you had stayed away from me, I would not be nursing a broken heart and my friends and I would be having a normal life,” she snapped, her cheeks tainted red in anger.

“You think I don’t know that? I wake up every day wishing I could go back in time and change everything but guess what? I can’t. I can’t reverse Sean being a vampire in transition and I certainly can’t reverse my goddman feelings for you!”

“You lovers can save that for later, because aside from Sean, I think there is something wrong with me and its freaking me out, “Chloe caught our attention.

“He is not my lover,” Jennifer grunted before turning to her sister.

“So today, I was um…almost in a moment with Hunter in the locker room. Well, not exactly a moment but maybe if I had stayed longer, he’d have kissed me. So with our lips almost touching I was like, Yaay! Finally he was showing an interest in me. But then something really weird happened. It’s like time froze and I was the only one still unfrozen. I was freaked out and so I ran home when the time unfroze. Hunter must be thinking I’m sort of weirdo,” she finished her tale.

“Oh my God! It all makes sense now,” Madeline said as though she just discovered a rare piece of gem.

“W-what? Is something wrong with me” Chloe questioned.

“No. I mean, I always knew there was something more about you two sisters but I just didn’t think, it would be this. Do you realize that you are one of the most powerful witches in the history of witches?” she muttered excitedly.

“Slow down Mads. What are you saying? My sister is not a witch. She is just a sixteen year old girl with a perfect normal life. So no, she is not some damn witch!” Jenifer snapped defensively.

“Yes she is Jenifer whether you want it or not. She is a time witch and trust me, even back in time when witches were still alive, time witches were considered rare and very powerful which consequently meant they could be very dangerous to if they wanted. We are talking about the power to manipulate time. Jenifer, you may not want this for your sister but power like that is something that even I will only dream of,” She finished.

“Wait, so I’m a witch? Like, a power possessing human witch?” Chloe muttered.

“Yes and I know that is may be strange for you but-“

“Strange? This is amazing. Finally something that makes me feel extra normal,” A smile broke off Chloe’s face.
