*Author's POV*“Gotcha” said Scarlett, her smile wide. She lowered her sword to her side to reveal a victorious expression written on her face. Scarlett looked down at Cassandra who was still gasping for air, and chuckled lightly. “Wow you weren’t expecting that. Guess I’m winning after all”. Scarlett smirked."If you think I'll let you win so easily then think again." Cassandra spat.Scarlett scoffed loudly. "Fine then, we can always continue with this battle." She moved back from Cassandra a bit."Pick it up." She said.Cassandra glared dangerously at her, she picked up her sword and stood up with rage. She charged at Scarlett, swinging her sword horizontally. Scarlett quickly raised her blade and parried it with ease. The clash of metal against steel reverberated throughout the arena. The force behind the blow pushed Scarlett back, sending her stumbling to the ground. She stumbled twice before grabbing Cassandra's wrist and stopping her attack. Scarlett used the opportunity to sla
**Scarlett's POV**While in the tub, I felt someone caressing my skin and I felt so good. It was none other than Xavier and I loved the way his hand worked on me."What happened to you, babe? Your body looks tense." He kissed the back of my ear and I chuckled.I wondered if I should tell him I actually dueled with Cassandra and won. I smiled, remembering how awesome it felt to defeat her. I felt like I had won a million dollar trophy and couldn't ask for more."Well, today was very eventful." I began.He slid into the tub and made me sit on his lap, while facing him."Tell me about it." He said as he traveled down my body."I dueled with Cassandra today." I announced "Really? like a real duel?" He asked and I nodded. "Who won?" He asked."Yours truly." I answered and he kissed me."Wow, I'm so proud of you. Well, I think Cassandra has met her match then " He said and I laughed.."so, how are we going to celebrate this win ?" He asked."How about you take me out for pizza?" I asked.
Chapter 131**Author's POV**It was a dark night; a night for the witches and wizards to revel in. The sky was filled with thick black clouds and it had been raining on and off that entire day. A storm, a natural one if you will, would have been welcome after such a long, hot summer. However, that was not what was happening tonight. Tonight was a full moon night. Not just any moon, but the full, fat, full moon of Witch Hunter Moon. That meant a whole lot more fun and excitement than usual tonight. It also meant the beginning of the end to this whole mess. Cassandra was dressed in an all black ensemble, a dress that reached down to her knees and covered every inch of her skin except for her face and hands. She was wearing a pair of thick, red leather boots that were lined with steel spikes along both soles and were designed to inflict pain even upon someone as powerful as she was. She walked around her house like someone doing incantations and spells, chanting under her breath and
*Author's POV*"Are you okay babe? Are you sure you're fine? You're not sick or anything are you?" Xavier asked, this new behavior was so strange to him and he couldn't tell where all this was coming from.But unknown to him, Scarlett found his words offensive.She angrily stood up, glaring daggers at him."You're just so ungrateful Xavier De Vil!" She spat."What!" Xavier said in utter shock."Yes! You heard me right! I only asked you for just a small thing, just a small favor and you're calling me sick!" She yelled."Scar—""Enough!" She angrily interrupted."I don't want to hear anything you have to say, all you care about is getting between my legs, you don't even love me, I only asked you to cook for me and you yelled at me!" Her lips were trembling and she looks like she was at the verge of tears.Shocked was an understatement, Xavier was confused as hell, he was beginning to think that someone must have cast a spell on Scarlett, she's never behaved this way before, her behavior
*Author's POV*"What's wrong?" Xavier asked as he went to her.He patted her back while Scarlett took some time to catch her breath.When she was okay, she stood up and wiped her lips."What happened babe? Are you sick? Should I get the doctor?" Xavier asked worriedly, Scarlett shook her head."You don't have to do that, I'm fine, it just's the food you prepared."Xavier frowned. "What about it?""I don't want it anymore, it smells awful, in fact, the smell made me nauseous." "Are you being serious right now?" Xavier asked in disbelief.Scarlett didn't have much strength to talk, so she just ignored him and went to get her toothbrush, she applied some paste on it and brushed her teeth.Xavier kept on looking at her in disbelief.When Scarlett was done, she simply went to lie on the bed.Xavier went to meet her and he couldn't help but to ask what has gotten into her. "What's wrong babe? You haven't eaten all day and you keep having this weird mood swings, you even reject the food I
**Author's POV**Scarlet woke up that morning feeling sad and down. Her hair was scattered all over her face as she made her way to Xavier's room. He had wanted to spend the night with her the previous day but she grumpily sent him away, now she wanted to see him.She managed to get to the room and sat on the bed, watching him with her elbow resting in the bed while her jaw was in her palms. She watched him sleep peacefully and felt at peace within her.She had really stressed him the previous day and felt bad for him. Despite the stress from work and all others, she still gave him a hard time and it made her feel bad.Xavier woke up and gasped when he saw Scarlett. He quickly wiped his face and got down from the bed."What's wrong, babe? Why are you here so early in the morning?" He held her shoulders as he asked.Scarlett said nothing and burst into tears. Her tears were hurting Xavier and he didn't know what to do. He tried to pet her but it wasn't working."Calm down and tell me w
**Author's POV**Xavier felt like going crazy not knowing exactly what was wrong with her. She has been acting weird since the day before and had refused him calling a doctor to come check on her."Scarlett, why don't we go for a run in the woods?" He asked and she stopped crying immediately. She smiled brightly and quickly put on her clothes."In the woods?" She asked and he nodded.She screamed in excitement.Xavier smiled and put on his clothes too before leading her out of the palace and into the woods. Xavier took extra clothes since they were going to shift. They got to a tree shade and removed the previous clothes they were putting on.Scarlett kept looking at Xavier's naked body while different ideas were running through her head. Xavier noticed her stared and shook his head."You do know we're here for a run, right?" He asked."Why don't we have only one round before we go?" She requested but Xavier wasn't going to have any of it."No, you're having nothing." Xavier said.Sca
*Author's POV*Xavier felt like pulling his hair and screaming in frustration. This weird behavior of hers was slowly killing him, he can't even understand her anymore or whatever it is that's happening to her and she's been refusing to see the doctor."Babe, don't you want the barbeque anymore? We haven't eaten and you also need to rest." He said softly.Scarlett's eyes turned glassy and her bottom lip began to tremble. Xavier knew what was coming next and before he could apologize to her for only God knows what he did wrong, she burst into tears, wailing so loud that it hurt his ears.Xavier apologized repeatedly, but Scarlett wasn't having any of it, she felt hurt and she was letting it all out in her tears."You don't love me." She cried."Babe, please I'm sorry...alright fine, let's do as you wish, let's play rock, paper, scissors." He smiled.And just like magic, Scarlett stopped crying, she sniffed and wiped off her tears. "Really?" She smiled brightly, just like a child.Xavie
