We're screwed, we're screwed, we're screwed, we're-

'Stop that.' Eros told me mentally as we hopped from one branch to the other.

'Do you know what the Geminide are, no. So let me be paranoid. '

He stopped and hoped down to the ground.

"Why'd you stop?" I asked, following him down to the gro ground.

"I figured this would make you shut up." He muttered. I smiled, it worked, but it was time-consuming.

"i***t," I told him, "Anything else you'd like to add before we go? I promise I'll be quiet," I'm not sure any more sarcasm could be squeezed into my sentence.

"There was something else," he finished and walked up to me and once in front of me, he did something I didn't see coming.

Gently, he slid a hand around my neck and he brushed his lips against mine before he pressed them completely. I felt lost, but at the same time found. His lips felt familiar but rough. I tried to push him away, but the human blood was still strong in his muscles, making it impossible to do anything to him as his lips moved against mine forcefully.

I could feel my willpower diminishing for some reason, so unexplainable it burned. I was willing to give in but I had a sense of morals in me. Bipolar was a word for it.

'What the-?!' I gasped in his head.

'Please.' He sighed as he pushed me against a tree. Something in me kept fight him, though another was willing to be kissed. I bit back a small sigh.

What the hell?!

'You asked for it.' I electrocuted him and stepped away.

"Sorry." He mumbled as the effect of the lighting wore off and his effect on me wore off too.

"What. The. Hell? " I said slowly, getting my head to focus, "Robin's - "

"You're mate? You rejected him in school remember. Jane, I could make you happier than him." He said while in his mind he thought of the bell tower accident.

" Please, don't tell me you did what I think you did."

"No, I wouldn't try to hurt you, Jane. I was in love with you," He admitted, "that's why I fought with the guard that caught us. That's why I tried to save you. Jane I will always try to protect you, always will love you. "

"Eros, I'm grateful you have protected me, but-"

"So you love that dog?"

"I'm not sure." I said skeptically," honestly I have no idea what I feel. Not anymore. With everything that is going on, I can't afford to think about my love life."

"Just remember I'll always be here for you, Janeane. Always have." He said, then a white ray of light zapped up into the sky. Abby's signal.

"Jane?" Sara asked as she landed besides me.

I gasped, praying they didn't see what had happened,"I-It's me, but we need to get home." I told her shakily as Vincent landed.

Eros frowned and said, "Where is my sister? "

"She took Raine home when she got dizzy. Running a lot is not a pregnant woman's forte." Vincent said.

I sighed, I need to keep them safe, all of them, "We may have a problem, but we need to go home. "

We rushed home and as we reached the clearing Robin, who was already human, expression quickly changes from relief to confusion to anger.

Oh f**k.

Robin growled at me, "You DID WHAT!!!?" His Alpha voice roared.

"Robin. " I cautioned. His eyes averted going form his brown to black. He growled and stalked forwards to Eros. But I stepped in the way. "Robin please, not don't. "

He growled, "He kissed my mate!"

He was possessive aggressive . . .great.

"As far as I'm concerned, she rejected you."Eros retorted.

"She is mine," Robin said as he stepped in front of me.

"She can still differ, Mutt."

"Bloodsucker ."

I walked in between them, "Three things, one: both of those names are offensive to me. Two: Dare touch me again and I'll fry you till you look like a Russian mummy. Doubt Qira will stop me ."

"Be my guest,"Qira said, making Eros' eyes widen and behind me, Robin hummed in victory.

"And three: I belong to myself." I walked away from them as their jaws went slack.

"So what's was it that you needed us here for?" Linsey asked.

"Let's go inside first," Vincent said and we made our way to the library.

"Zero's witch has managed to cast a Geminide spell which, if they expand it, they'll most likely beat us in combat. "Abby said as she began looking for a book in her section.

"Whats Geminide? "Emma asked.

"Around three centuries ago, a witch named Claudia Geminide created a series of spells that went beyond the limits of nature. There were three spells, drainage of power, spiritual possession of a human body, and resurrection." I said as Abby continued to look for a book, "Tamara took possession of the girl's body and managed to keep her powers, which suggests her mother did that spell since one has to cast a spell on the spirit and host."

"So we are talking about 'Paranormal Activity ' and 'Lazarus Effect' type of spells?" Quill asked.

"Yes. But luckily for all of you, Abby knew how to take her down." I said and Abby finally found the book in the wall of Spell Book library of her's.

"The Deram Eregicus Spell drains the magic out of a body, it takes a lot of energy and power to cast and a good damn reason to do it. See Geminide was a kind witch who didn't see destruction or death within these spells, she wanted to bring justice. But eventually she lost control over these spells and they were lost. Except for her original journal and her husband's copy." Abby waved the worn book," Vincent managed to get his hands on her original journal, which I will have Jane memorize."

I stared at her, "Say what?"

"There also hynx to the spells, well to all except for the resurrection spell, which as a matter of fact is the 'Lazarus' with all of its effects. "Abby said, "So don't memorize that spell."

She gave me the book.

"But for you, we need to train you to avoid getting possessed or drained both of power and blood. "I said. Then all of the sudden, I began to feel dizzy, and nauseous.

"Jane?" Qira asked, reading my aura.

I dropped the book then super speeded to my room and to my bathroom.

Abby, Qira, and Robin where there as I threw up, "There it is."Abby said, clearly knowing what it was.

I read her mind, 'Witches aren't supposed to be vampires, but I wasn't a witch. Vampirism woke magic. But once in a while, we throw up blood, meaning your human witch form needs food. '

I stood up and Abby chanted something which cleaned my mess.

"Thanks. But do I really need to eat? "I asked.

"Sadly yes."She scrunched up her nose.

"What happened? "Robin asked as we made our way downstairs.

"Witch which do you think needs a sandwich?"Qira muttered.

"What?"

"I threw up because my witch form needs nutrients. "I said smirking at Qira's tongue twister.

We walked into the kitchen with Abby and she began to get some things from the refrigerator.

"How many times have you cooked?"I asked as I sat on a stool.

"Do you really want to know?"She looked at me, smug.

"I'll guess you took to take out when you needed it?"

"Yup." She said, "And I have only done it six times though."

"Interesting. "I said as I stood up and looked around the cabinets, which had occurred to me, I've never really actually opened.

Robin walked in and Abby sighed as I opened a can of peanut butter, "Good, some who actually eats." Abby said, "Make her something to eat, would ya?" She patted his back as she walked away but tossed me the spell book before she disappeared around the corner.

"What do you want? " he asked and walked over to me.

I began looking around, "Don't know, all I ever did eat was bread, butter, and tea."

"Tell me." He said as he took something out of the fridge.
