Dragon Clan

Chapter 9

Josephine was woken by the sound of her alarm.'It was just a dream.'  She thought to herself. Josie tried to compose herself, to not look panicked in front of people from her year but she just couldn't. Deciding to skip today's lessons, she went back to sleep. Her dream being more calmer now.

When she finally woke up, Josephine noticed she had over ten missed calls from her mother. ''Nice.'' The girl said to herself. After composing herself she called her mother who, picked up after first signal. 

''Why you didn't show up at lessons today?!!!'' Anastasia shouted. 

''Hi mum nice talking to you too.''

''Stop with that sarcasm young lady. I got a call that you missed today's lessons. You never do that. Why?''

''I had a bad night and wanted to sleep more. Besides why do you care so much? I have straight A's in all my subjects. I study non stop. I never missed lessons before so gave me a damn break mother! Can I have just one day for myself?!'' Josephine wasn't aware that she raised her voice. She also had no idea where from the confidence came. 

Anastasia was surprised. Her own daughter raising her voice at her? It wasn't Josephine speaking to her. 

''How dare you shout at me?!''

''How dare I? Oh please spare me that 'I'm your mother' bullshit. You know it's not true. You could give me life, but you stopped being my mother when you put your husband over me. You abandoned me Anastasia. So I don't want to have anything to do with you. I am eighteen year old woman. I can decide for myself. You better accept that or don't show yourself in front of me again.'' 

Then she disconnected the call. Josephine finally had enough. She knew that after all the rage will leave her body, she will regret that and will probably call her mother to apologies. However, now she felt free. Josephine said everything that bottled inside her for long long time. 

***

Anastasia was siting take aback. Her daughter dared to speak like that to her? Her own blood rebelling against her? The older woman took a deep breath, trying calming herself. Josephine is showing her other face. The two girls fighting with each other inside her. Anastasia only preyed that Edward's soul is watching over their daughter because soon, the real fight will begin and it won't be the only the one between the species. 

***

She stood in front of her wardrobe deciding what to wear. The girl knew to skip the blue dress, she was wearing in her dream. Josephine didn't want to repeat what she saw in her dream. 

Deciding to wear white dress and small white heals, Josephine proceed to do her make up. She was so excited. It was her ever first date ever and with a handsome boy on top of that. Nothing will ever beat this feeling. The girl just hoped Ling felt the same. 

***

Hei was in fact nervous as hell. Wearing a black jeans and equally black t-shirt he tried to calm himself. The bouquet of red camellias in his hands, he approached steps to female's dormitories. Hei had ten more minutes before Josephine showed up but he wanted to be earlier than late. His waiting was interrupted by tall, blonde man.

''What are you doing here dogie?'' the guy asked. Hei smelled the air around the guy. 'Warlock. Nice' he thought to himself. 

''Waiting are you blind Merlin?!'' he asked. 

''Hilarious. You know it's a rare occasion that there is a wolf in this school. I know you have some shady business to do here but let me tell you something. It won't work because you are messing with the wrong witch clan. So you better hide your tail and run as far away as you can.''

''I am not afraid of some warlock who just learned how to cast a simple spell. Tell me boy did they told you already how to poison someone or how to summon the dead?''

''It's a dark magic reserved only...''

Hei interrupted him ''Reserved only for women who are high priestess. As far as I'm concerned witches and warlocks didn't had one in one hundred years so the only person I would be afraid of and would listen to is her. You are not lucky boy. I am not afraid of some imitation of a witch. Maybe if you ask your mommy to allow you to see her book of spells then we can talk. Now if you excuse me, I have plans so it going to be better for you to leave.''

Hei said with smirk on his face. He knew that the young warlock was offended. Who wouldn't. Every species knew that female witches are more powerful and stronger than the male warlocks. After, all they were created by female. 

Angry and defeated Drew  turned around and went his way, before he left he send one last glance and the wolf and he paled. His cousin was approaching the man, wearing a beautiful white dress. ''Oh my...I will need to speak to Josephine. She can't interact with him.'' he said to himself but he knew he couldn't destroy her one night of happiness so he decided to do it tomorrow.

***

''Wow you look....wow.'' Josephine giggled at him.

''Umh thank you so much.'' A slight pink blush appeared on her cheeks. Hei had no idea what to say. Wearing all white like an angel. Opposite of him. 

''Those are for you.'' he said and handed her the flowers. 

''Thank you so much.'' Josephine said and took the flowers. 'I have to check their meaning later.' she thought to herself. 

''Shall we? I parked my car not far away.'' Hei said and took her hand. 

When they reached the parking spot Josephine froze in her place. The same car from her dream.

''Everything okay?'' Ling asked. 

''Yeah it's just that I have seen this car before already.'' she said

''Oh probably in commercial.'' Ling said like it was not a big deal. 

''Yeah probably.'' Josephine said but it was not a coincidence that he drove a black car and he looked similar to the guy from my dream. She thought.

Ling opened the door for her and then went around the car and sat down in his seat. 

''I hope you will like it.'' he said and started the automobile. Josephine smiled at him but inside her everything was screaming ''Be aware of the dragon.''
