We had been stuck in the library for hours, roaming through the witches section, looking for spells and how to break or trap them. There was no use, but Dorcas and Lance did not seem like they were giving up so soon. The place was as usual, empty but with books neatly arranged. I remembered that Lance had brought in some new section of books, he called it the fiction section. It made children come here a lot but since we had gotten there a little too early, there was no one around. So we locked the doors behind us as we walked in. The dust from dragging out a big old book of spells made me sneeze and begin to cough out. Lance noticed and he rushed to me, collecting the book from me and dropping it on the table that was near. He waved his hands in the air, as a means of waving off the dust so I could stop sneezing. Then he glared at me. “What?” I frowned. “If you just give it back–”“Out of the question,” I cut in, glaring back at him. “A normal person will sneeze when they come
“What the hell is wrong with me?” I asked rhetorically. “Are you sure you are alright?” Lance asked again. “What, no. I can’t feel my legs. Why can’t I feel my legs?!” I panicked. Oh shit I could not move them. “What the hell is this?!” I screamed at him, not caring if I caused unnecessary attention or not. “Calm down Hayley,” he said to me. “Grey go and call Dorcas, she’s in the library. Sonia help us to call Mr Jones, he’s in the hospital. Tell them to meet us in my room. Now.”They both nodded and sped right past us after Lance ordered. He held me by my waist and lifted me up bridal style, walking to our room.When we reached the room, Lance placed me gently on the bed. Brushing my hair to the side, he whispered soothing words to me. “Why can’t I feel my legs?” I asked for the umpteenth time. “Will I be able to walk again?”“Shh, that is how it is. Your body is trying to adjust to the illness, it happened to me too. With the help of a witch and a doctor, you will be alright,”
“Oh shit,” I gasped. “What the hell did you do to me?”“Nothing, it healed itself,” Talia shrugged. “So can we go look for him now?”Her eager blue eyes bore into mine and I could not resist and say no to her. “You are really going to owe me after this,” I pouted and she purred. “Thank you so much Hayley,” she sang as I shuffled my way out of bed. My puffy slippers were laying on the floor, waiting for me to use them. Smiling that I could feel and move my legs again, I put on my slippers. Due to the constant cold I have been receiving, I usually placed my jacket at a close range in my room. So I grabbed it and put it on my body, adjusting to get warm and loving how heated I felt all of a sudden. “Can you please hurry up? It has not even begun to snow yet,” she rolled her eyes at me. “Yes, I’m very sensitive to cold weather, you know,” I explained. “Just hurry up,” Talia grumbled. “Hey, don’t rush me. Or I would have to change my mind,” I said straightly and scoffed. “If you d
"Hayley no!" Dorcas rushed in and slapped the the tea away from my hand.I watched the tea pour down to the ground and the cup shattered into bits. “Hey, what givesd?!” I yelled at her. “I spent money and time on that!”“I’m sorry but you cannot drink that tea, Lance told me you were going to make it and I had to stop you,” she gasped out like she had just ran a hundred miles. Why not?” I frowned at her as she tried to catch her breath. “It worked for Lance does mean will work for you,” she explained, rolling her eyes. “I don’t understand you Dorcas,” I shook my head. “I came across a spell book in the library. If the curse is transferred than vervain may just not work, instead it will add more issues to what you already have,” she said. “That is ridiculous,” I laughed, shaking my head at what she was saying as a means of disapproval. “You have to trust me in this one. The only drugs you are allowed to take are the ones we prescribe to you. Is that understood?” Dorcas warned an
"You have got to be kidding me," I looked at Dorcas with a shake of my head. "What?" Dorcas asked, looking at me clueless. "You brought me here, to my workshop. Making me think that you have found a solution to my curse only for me to find out that you were talking about using my vervain for your own potions?!" I screeched angrily. "Oh, you thought it was for your curse?" Dorcas' eyes widened in surprise. "Yes! That is the entire reason why you are here, to help me find a substitute for my curse!" I replied, face palming myself. "You have a curse for this?" Sean's brow raised up high to his forehead. I forgot he was with us all along. "Um...""Yes, she healed Lance but took the curse he had upon herself," Dorcas explained mindlessly to him. "Dude!" I yelled at her. "What, he's your pack mate and you two act like you are brothers and sister," she shrugged. "He is my pack member I know, but does not mean I want anyone to know!""You took Lance's curse, why would you even do th
"Hayley you will not believe what Sean and I found!"Dorcas barged in on me again with the loudest shriek she could offer.The people around heard her scream and they looked at her weirdly. Sean was right behind Dorcas and they had the brighter smile on their faces. "Sean is involved in this?!" I glared daggers at both of them, releasing myself from Lance's hold around me and coming off the table. "Yes, I saw how hurt he was and I took his advice about looking at things from another perspective and you are going to love what we found out about. He was of good help,""Dorcas! Can you please stop making decisions when you know I would react wrongly to it?!" I yelled at her. "Hayley but–""No buts, you're being too forward," I corrected her. "Oh forgive me that I am trying to help," she scoffed, getting upset too. "You are here to help, not Sean!" I remained angry and Lance and Sean watched how Dorcas and I yelled at ourselves. "Well, if not for him we would have never found a solu
The sun was out early, and it pierced through the window to meet my face. Twitching my eyes, I smiled and shuffled around the bed. My leg hit something hard beside me and it groaned. "Go back to sleep,"Lance muttered, holding me closer to himself. "It's morning already," I chuckled, turning to face him. We were both tangled under the sheets, bare naked. Memories of the previous night flashed through my hair and I smiled more. He had the cutest morning face, I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed back, grabbing my ass and holding on to it tight. "Want to continue from where we stopped?" Lance muttered between the kisses. "Hmm, maybe," I giggled, wrapping my legs around his torso, in the process allowing his hardness to rub on my pussy. "Yes."I agreed, wanting another round of what went on last night. "Come here," he said, pulling me to sit on top of him. The sheets fell off our body and we both acted like we had seen ourselves like that in a
"Hayley!" I turned abruptly at the sound of my name. "Dorcas, what are you doing here?""I came as fast as I could, I have news."Of course she news, Dorcas always knew how to make a dramatic entrance at everything. "What news is it this time, Lance and I did what you asked us to," I said in boredom. I suspected the news was nowhere near good, whenever she barged I'm with the kind of look on her face it was never good news. "I know how to break your curse permanently," she shrieked. Okay, maybe that was good news but still. A smile spread across Sonia and my face as we looked at each other with a familiar expression. "Why do I feel a but coming?" Sonia asked, narrowing her eyes at Dorcas. "Because there is a big but coming," she deadpanned. Our faces of expectations turned down into a flat glare at Dorcas but she did not mind. "What's the bad news," I asked, hoping she could just spill it. "When I got home yesterday, I was going through some of my ancient books on curses a
