CHAPTER 5

Meave...

    "It's been two days and you haven't spoken a word to us. What happened?" I hear Katie say but I don't say anything. I simply turn away from her facing the wall. All curled up underneath the duvet.

"Meave." She calls out but I don't reply.

She trys again and gets no reply from me.

"The blood moon is tonight. You should  get ready." She tells me and left.

  I know that. I also know that I've been lied to and now I cannot trust anyone. Not Katie and most definitely not Fiona.  She doesn't deserve to be called Grandma.

  The news had reached the media that Nathan Crest was injured so production has been postponed still he is better.

The crew went back to LA which means I have no use here. I should just get myself out of here too but yet. Knowing that Fiona killed my family made me wonder why she'd do that in the first place.

  When I got back the first thing I did was go to the cupboard to find the engravement on the wall.

Prowfeci

That was what I found. I didn't know how to spell properly at Six. But I knew what I meant.

Prophecy

Fiona killed her Family because of a Prophecy that may or may not exist. I need to know what this Prophecy is because it involves me. Maybe I could find something about it at Witch Academy. They have alot of creepy books in the library.

 

  I was in a red mood. So my whole outfit for the blood moon was red including my signature maroon red lipstick.

  Everyone seemed surprised to see me at the Academy. Probably thought I was dead. Just like I haven't said a word to Katie. I haven't been able to look at Fiona. The mere sight of her made me sick. I try to figure out how she had the guts to kill her own family. I remember from the beginning She never liked My Father because he's a Vampire. I'll be damned when they all find out History is repeating itself with me.

  Since I got back I haven't been able to get Xavier out of my head. Neither has he visited me in my dreams. I don't even have nightmares anymore so he doesn't need to save me. Besides, it seemed to me he has moved on with his model like Vampire chicas.

But if he has moved on then why did he tell me he needs me. Does he really need me? I should go back to him right. I mean I'm better of with the people I know I can trust and won't kill me. That will be Xavier. If anything he's all I have.

"I'm surprised you showed up." I hear Katie say and I fix my eyes on her.

"You look great."

"Ditto." I simply tell her not to make small talks. Katie is like a Sister to me. She would never harm me but after all I found out. I'm a bit Skeptical about everything.

  I walk past her heading straight to the library for mission. I want to know more about the Prophecy. I was surprised to find Devon there. I never expected to see him. It felt too soon. I spun on my heels ready to leave.

"Mae?"

I tsked turning back around. "Devon."

"Katie told me you weren't speaking to anyone. What happened to you? You don't seem hurt so. Where did you go?"

He questioned making his way towards me.

"I need the book on Prophecy." I say instead of answering him.

He studies me for awhile. "Then you'll need to ask Katherine about that. Last time I checked the records. She borrowed it and never returned it." He tells me.

What would Katie need the book for?

"We should talk Maeve." Devon starts to say grabbing my attention.

"Hmm. I'm listening."

He's now standing in front of me. There was silence and I patiently waited for him to speak. "You look great." He complimented.

I give him a small smile. "Thanks. You look Fancy." He was in a black suit that fitted him perfectly.

He chuckles. "I miss you." He says quietly. Taking my hand in his.

I shake my head slowly pulling away. "You have a Girlfriend now." I state.

"No. I lied. It was overwhelming seeing you again and I thought I wasn't ready to pick up where we left but I am. I'm read-

"It doesn't matter whether you're ready or not." I tell him. "We cannot pick up from where we left."

He scrunched his face. "I don't understand. Why?"

"There's so many reasons." I tell him choosing my words carefully.

One, I just so happen to be a Hybrid; both a witch and a Vampire.

Secondly, I just found out I have a mate and I don't think he'd appreciate his Mate dating another man. Especially a Witch.

Thirdly, oh I think that's it but I'm just gonna go with....

"There's someone else." I simply say.

He seemed taken aback. "You're seeing someone else? How? You were kidnapped."

"I wasn't kidnapped. I was attacked and they saved me. I don't even know why I left." I tell him.

"Where did they take you then? Who is this guy?!" He raises his voice stunning me.

"I should go find Katie for that book." I mumble then hurried out. Once I was in the hallway a smell filled my nose followed by a strange urge to have it. I scan the place letting the smell lead me.

  I stood by the doorway watching the scene before me. A kid was getting his open bloody wound cleaned up.

I felt myself losing control and I didn't know why but I wanted his blood so badly so before i could go something drastic i hurried to the bathroom.

I made sure the stalls were empty before unzipping my dress pulling it down to stop around my waist.

  The talismanic symbol on me was fading away which means I'm Vampire side is making an appearance.

Oh no!

If I lose control here, I'm so dead. I'm guessing being in the Vampire world for too long made the protection spell wear off which means This wasn't just a protection spell but it was also a binding spell. How could Grandma do this to me?

I decide I need to go back to Xavier. If my Vampire side was back then I can be able to see the Barrier. Instead of using the normal way out I used the Back not to come in contact with the injured Kid. I hate to imagine what I'd do to him.

I should have probably used the front instead because now the blood moon was out and The initiation was about to begin.

"Where have you been?" Katie asked pulling me to the middle where other girls and a boy were waiting for the ceremony to begin.

  All through the time the ceremony was going on I had only one thing on my mind. How to get out of here. I cannot join the Coven.

Grandma kept giving us; Katie and I that proud look not that it had any positive effect on me. I hate that Woman with Passion.

I watch the witches join hands together around us then an elder came to us and to my Surprise she pulls out a dagger and on the palm of a girl she drew a symbol on it. Repeating the action on another girl, then another and the boy.... it just kept going.

So much blood.

I felt my Fangs coming out then I cover my mouth with the palm of my hand.

"Are you okay?" Katie asked from beside me. I gave her a nod but she didn't seem convinced.

It was her turn to get marked and I was failing at keeping it together.

  I turned to leave but the elder grabbed my arm stopping me.

"Your palm." She requested. Waving the bloody dagger in my face.

So much blood.

Blood.

Blood I must have... no.

"Let go of me." I managed to say. She doesn't budge so I use my power to push her away from me.

It all happened so fast. I lost control once I was gone I couldn't come back. So I turned to the person closest to me grabbing their arm, which just so happen to be Katie.

No!

Stop!

My fangs came out fully and her eyes widen.

"You're a Vampire." she whispers like she couldn't believe it. She starts struggling against my hold on her arm but I don't budge and though I tried to control myself. I couldn't.

She starts to chant and it takes me a while to realise she was casting a binding spell on me. I know because after going through Grandma's spell book. I recognize the Spell to be the same one she used on me when I was ten.

I bit her draining all the her blood. Her screams filled ears but I don't stop. At the corner of my eyes I see They tried to attack but with a wave of my hand I sent all of them flying and scatter around the woods.

  I should stop. It's enough.

It's Katie. My sister.

But I couldn't stop. I loved it and I wanted more.

I let Katie's limp body fall to the ground. Why did I not feel guilty?

My eyes landed on Fiona. A devious smile played on my lips. She's next.

I took a step forward but a wimp wrapped itself around my neck. Freya just had to get involved.

Before I could register what was going on Beatrice drove a dagger into my heart. The same dagger used for the initiation.

"You really shouldn't have done that." I tell her pulling the Dagger out of my chest and without think twice I snapped her neck and her dead body fell to the ground.

Gripping the whip I start to pull at it. Pulling her towards me. She was nothing compared to the strength I now had.

I drained her of any blood running through her veins letting her limp body fall to the ground.

Other witches ran for safety in the Academy. I couldn't get in anymore because of the barrier put around the school.

I felt myself turn back to normal and only then did I realise what I had done. I killed three people including Katie. My Sister!

I started to leave the Academy but stopped when I felt her presence behind me. I turned back around to see Fiona gripping a dagger in her hand. Its blade was glowing red.

"You killed Katie." She tells me in a broken voice.

"I didn't mean to." I let out in an equally broken voice.

I should have killed you a long time ago." She seethed.

"Just like you Killed My Family and Aunt Teresa." I countered.

"It was an Accident! You were meant to die but instead Your Sister claimed she was the Hybrid. Your Father tried to save her and I killed him. It was all a mistake." She defended now sobbing.

"You were ten when your vampire side became visible, You were turning rogue. I had to get rid of you but I had already lost enough People. So I decided to bound your Powers instead which was the greatest mistake of my life."

"You can't kill me." I say confidently.

"I used this knife to kill your sister and father. It's made from both the blood of an Alp and Mara."

She lifted her hand to stab me and at the last minute Xavier appeared and he was stabbed instead. Xavier wrapped his arms around me and shadowed us out of there. The next thing I knew, we were at the Castle and he collapsed on the ground.

No.

Not Xavier too.
