Chapter 10

 

Vicki walked in a room of familiar faces and questioning looks. Brushing off opinions of certain members of the party, she walked right up to Red. Raising an eyebrow and sensing the electricity often felt when close to another source of magic. A smile tempted to form but she knew there was a greater task at hand.

 

“Hello Sister.” Vicki said pulling out her now charged amulet and a bag containing different but useful spices. Getting a weird look from Tanya, she quickly joined her beau. Justin was looking at Lance, intensely to the point were Vicki felt uncomfortable.

 

“Justin, stop looking at Lance like that. People think you’re gay already you staring is not helping change their minds.” Vicki mentioned. “But he has a black ring around his head, can you see it?” He noted and everyone soon was staring at Lance.

 

“Where’s your amulet Lance?” Red asked. “I’m wearing it.” Lance snapped when she tried to feel the energy from the piece of jewelry that adorned his neck. “When was the last time that it was charged?” Phoenyx asked.

 

He was quiet for a minute or two, and then he felt like something hit him. He felt to the floor, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. He closed his eyes, fighting, when he managed to opened them up, they were red. Tanya screamed and touched him; fire came out of her mouth, the target, Red. Lifting her hands, she protected herself and gave enough time for Phoenyx to shoot water from his hands and extinguish the fire.

 

Lance got up, his eyes were still red.

 

(Later that night)

 

 

It seems like whatever evil had decided to invade Lance’s body was still roaming around. His eyes, not so much red anymore were slowly coming back to his unnatural shade of green. He was being observed and somewhere deep down inside Red she knew that he was in great danger. Protecting her mind, what she knew and others was her task. Even if it seemed like she was going to loose her battle.

 

She walked into her room, exhausted decided that laying in bed was a good idea. What could Lance do to her, which she couldn’t prevent? Plus Phoenyx was there, he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. She quickly fell into a deep sleep. In her nice special place where her mind always wondered she found some things out of place. A dagger covered in blood, blood all over silk sheets. She saw her death, like she had many times before. The only difference was that this time she felt the pain.

 

She opened her eyes and a shadow was on top of her. Unable to move, she slowly mumbled the words “Dark to dark, I defeat you with my light. If you dare to come closer, then come on over and face my fire!” A black oily substance was all over her sheets and all over the floor. Running to the cabinet, she quickly poured sea salt all over the black oily and all over herself. Cleansing herself from any evil and what was her. Her door was locked, as she opened it she found everyone acting like nothing ever happened.

 

“Any of you felt that I was in trouble?” Red asked. Everyone looked at her like she had a duck sitting on top of her head. Shaking their head in unison, some even murmured the word ‘no’.

 

“Great! I am being attack while I sleep. What the fuck are these people doing? They think they’re Freddy Kruger or something?!” Red yelled as she walked to the kitchen and grabbed a beer. Quickly sliding to the floor and lighting up the cigarette that was thrown in her direction. “Thanks!” she mumbled to Tanya who was giving her a worried look.

 

“You alright?” She asked. Turning to her she said “I’ll live. I smell like the beach and not to mention the fact that I’m not going to be able to sleep now.”

 

A very quiet Lance looked at Red intensely to the point that everyone noticed. JC got up and pretended to go grab a beer, just in case he tried anything he would be able to do something to protect her.

 

“Take a fucking picture it last longer, dick!” Red said as she went back to her room calling Phoenyx to come join her in the room.

 

Tanya was a little tired and decided it was time for her to rest. Lance quickly followed her to her room.

 

“I didn’t know if I should say this in front of Red but I felt a presence in the house earlier. If this place is protected then how can we all in danger?” Lance asked. Tanya stared at him not really knowing what to answer.

 

“Well…it could be that they are trying to push in. The protection in this place will do so much. It can repel but if they keep pushing it will give in like everything else. That’s probably why Red is so tired. She cast the spell so they are pushing in; she’s going to feel it. And now I doubt she’ll sleep because she feels she has to protect all of us. I am worried about her though.”

 

“You look tired. Go to sleep I’ll make sure you can rest for a while at least.” He replied. Hoping this time nothing will posses him. He didn’t want to harm her. A silent chant and she was asleep in no time. For a while he would guard and from now on vow to protect what he felt was his.

 

She was dreaming unlike she normally did. In her dream she saw him approaching her. He wasn’t going to hurt her, intuition told her he was trying hard to love her. He came so close to her and gently kissed her. Caressing her slowly and passionately he laid her down on the floor. He kissed her every inch of her body. Slipping his hands between her legs slowly he began to pleasure with his fingers, circling around and inserting one or two fingers inside testing her moisture level. Arching her back in pleasure she allowed him to proceed. His tongue finally found her swollen lips and he began to lick her up and down and around. Slipping his tongue inside of her while his finger played with her. One of his hands found her breast and quickly cupped and pinched the nipple lovingly causing her more pleasure. When she screamed in pleasure he kissed her, tasting herself and loosing all patience and control and demanded that he would take her again and again. A second time of her coming close to pleasure she opened her eyes.

 

Lance was staring at her. Nothing was said and besides the fact that she didn’t know if he heard her screamed out him name. She snuggled up to him and he was fine with that. Accidentally, she touched him and knew she wanted him. She pondered for a second how to get him inside of her. A smile was all it took. A dream come true, she thought then after it was over she wondered if it was real.

 

“Did you cast a spell on me?” She asked. She didn’t know what to think at this point.

 

“No.” He was surprised that she asked. He stood up and was ready to walk out. “I’m not the bad guy here. You guys seem to think I did it with my own free will but it was done to me.”
