Thank God for my medication, this car ride would have made me sick to my stomach. Until I find the witch, my body just gets weaker and weaker. The medication only controls the symptoms like the nausea, dizzy spell, fever and hand tremors.
But on the inside my body is dying, eating away at its self. This is a curse every man in my family faced, we are protectors. Now it's my turn.
Once you become the protector, its important to find the witch cos she is now my source of strength and the ring as my source of power. without both, I'm facing death and the two members of the Zeki counsel will wreck havoc in this world.
I'm deep in my thoughts and hardly paid attention to where we were going. I noticed, we are a few miles out of the city. I see a building that looks abandoned and I fleet of ours cars that have been here already.
Our men secured that place and captured everyone here.
We had the help of an old witch, whose an ally. Spell seekers always have tricks up their sleeves they play dirty and are just scum people, who exploit and steal. Their kind disgust me.
The car comes to a stop and my driver Jacob and a guard seated at the passenger seat step out and soon my best friend, whose seated next to me and I step put the vehicle too.
The compound is not impressive, it's just a dirty old place filled with dirt and rats. If you ask me its fit for a thief. Mario and I are standing by the car, when Kyle who is our trusted foreman and friend approaches us.
He is inside, Kyle points out. Let's go play boys. He has a sick and sadistic look on his face. And I know exactly what he means by play. Time to cut some flash and break some bones.
I like the sound of that, I say excitedly. Kyle and Mario laugh at my response. And we make my way inside this rat hole.
As we enter, kyle begins the run down of what has happened.
Our man have the place surrounded, Red has been chained, he hasn't really said much. They have stolen goods everywhere and two low level witches keeps.
As Kyle informs us, we walk into where Red is chained.
He is chained to a chair and making so much noise with empty threats. Talking about, he will have the head of this organisation.
I chuckle at his attempt to scare my men. How pathetic, he thinks a rat like him can take me on.
He turns his head in my direction and I see a glimpse of fear in his eyes. He quickly hides it and starts to laugh like a maniac.
To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence in my castle, he asks in a venomous tone.
I take slow and steady steps towards him while my eyes are looking directly into his. I can see its torturing him into a fearful state and I like that.
Your place is delightful Mr. Red, I simply state. He looks confused, and seems to try and figure out, what I want.
We both remain quiet and in a starring competition. I win and continue to look at him, he seems to scower at my intense gaze and bow his head.
The white witch, I say.
He lifts his head and says there is no white witch here.
I know but I also know, you had her for three years. Any idea, where she is now... I ask this filthy rat.
I dont know where she is but for her sake I hope you find her first because if I get my hands on that b***h. I will make her pay. look at what she did to me, he venomously shouts.
The right side of his face is burned. He looks like half his face has melted.
I smile at his rage towards her.
I didn't know she was a white witch till the day she did this to me. I dont think the b***h herself even knew. The day I found she was a weak little witch, I taught her a few spells and than the night she hit me with lightning. Her hair colour changed from black to white. She is powerful, I will give her that. But I will get my hands on her once again.
mark my words.
I just stare at him, while he spews his words of vengeance. Oh this man disgust me and I cant wait to skin him.
I turned to Kyle, make sure they are all locked up at Dragon's Bay. We will deal with him and his men later.
Kyle looks disappointed and before he could say anything. We have to find the witch first, than we will deal with the rats, however you like. I reassure him.
His eyes light up with so much excitement... it's kinda scary.
But I know for sure, that Kyle's scaryness gets the job done. He lives for inflicting pain and in the line of business we are in. Pain is needed.
As Kyle starts giving our men orders. Mario and I wave him a goodbye, heading back to the car.
We both get the back seat and the car raors to life, indicating the driver is ready get going.
Back to the city, I inform him. 20 minutes into the drive, my symptoms flare up. I'm nauseous, dizzy and I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen. I hit the back of the front seat with my fist, in an attempt to mask the pain.
Mario looks at me, yo man chill... we will find her.
Stop the car, I manage to say with my strained and coarse voice. The car comes to an adrubt stop. I open my door and go behind the car. I spew my guts on the gravel road. I lean my back on the car and try to catch my breath.
Mario and the driver dont leave the car, which I'm thankful for. I dont want anyone to see me like this.
Standing here for about 10 minutes, I compose myself and walk back to the side of the car. I get in and dont say a word.
Mario was about to say something and was interrupted by the bibing sound of my health watch. Its indicating that I should eat and take my medication.
As soon as we enter the city, stop at the nearest diner, I command. Irritated at how weak my body is.
Soon we enter the city and the driver stops at the first dinner we spot, The Shack.
It doesn't look fancy in any form, way or shape. Argh as long as I can get food in my system fast, so this will have to do.
Mario and the driver step out with me. Jacob my driver knows that when I'm weak, he should follow me everywhere untill I regain my strength. Its usually so tense when I'm in this state, the mortals can attack, while I'm like this. And my chances of survival are slim to none.
We enter the diner and get a few stares, argh I'm used to it by now. I see an open table at the back of the diner and its perfect.
I limb towards the table and take a seat. Mario and Jacob join me.
We see a waitress approach us... a middle aged lady who has thinning hair, discolored teeth and really bad skin.
I groan with disgust at her appearance. Mario and Jacob both chuckle.
how annoying of them... she reaches our table and before she could say anything. Mario turned to smiles and chimes in.. Hi beautiful young lady, can you get us a pot of coffee, lots of sugar and three bottled waters please.
oh hi, she smiles at Mario... I will be right back with that and winks at him.
Eewwww, I groan.
I agree, says Jacob. I'm doing this for you, Mario points at me.
No, you would do anything in a skirt, I point out.
Well, you just jealous ladies like me better than you.
huh you wish, I spat back.
The so called young lady comes back with our coffee pot, mugs, sugar and bottled water.
She sets everything on the table and asks if we want anything to eat. Mario the charmer jumps in again. Four burgers and fries, waffles and chicken for me, and continues to wink at her. She eagerly writes down the orders and leans in towards the table. I will be right back with your food boys.
I'm just wondering how Mario can flirt with that.. argh. That's just not right.
Once the food comes I take three burgers and fries, Jacob takes the one burger and Mario gets his chicken and waffles.
We finish our food and I manage to take my medication.
I look out the window as we are driving home. I'm wondering if I will ever find her. Those piercing blue eyes and warm caramel skin is all I think about. I have her picture engraved in my head, I want to know the emotions behind those eyes.
Suddenly her picture turns from a captured moment to a real and moving moment. I scuint my eyes and I see her in real life.
Stop the car, I shout at the top of my lungs.
I turn to Marco just for a split second.
It's her...
I turn back to her and she is gone. I open the door and step out of the car...
I dont see her... she is gone.
