His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 44

*Derek's POV *

I stood in shock, frozen to the ground. How was that possible? How is any of this possible? I was getting confused and filled with mixed feelings.  Damn, how I hate being confused about stuff.

"So what you are telling me is that Veronica doesn't only have lexis, a vampire self but also have a witch self, which happens to be you. You are a witch?" I asked as soon as I could get my lips working.

"Yes. Why are you so shocked. Should I prove it?" She asked in the sweetest of tones. What is wrong with me? Am I even hearing and seeing right?

"Yes you are. And you are much more cuter physically. " She said as her cheeks turned a brighter shade of red.

Come on, witches have feelings too.

She reached out to her necklace,  the same one that Veronica always wears, that allows lexis to take full form. Was she about to take full form?

I stood frozen, once again as I looked at the necklace fall down into the soft rug, beneath the bed. I just stood there and stared at her in full glory...

I squinted my eyes, as bright light shone into my eyes. My eyes not being able to receive so much light, it shut by force. The light was so bright, that it still shined brightly through my shut eyes.

My eyes accommodated the light, and soon it stopped. I recieved normal brightness and my eyes accommodated and recieved darkness. I opened my eyes and looked straight into her eyes, Riona's eyes.

It shone a bright purple and her hair glowed a brighter red. I took in her appearance and she was wearing a black laced gown. The chest and arm area was full lace, the gown was short and her legs in black leather boots. And on her head was a witch hat  I laughed.

She looked like those witches of old. This was the 21st century, why was she still wearing hats. Those crooked looking hats.

"Mocking a witch is wrong you know. I could curse you this instant, and your voice may sound just like that of a cow." She said with a smirk. Her voice was as sweet now. Sly...

She snapped her finger and the hat disappeared from her head. And another snap, a black cat appeared in her arms.

Great. I almost forgot, witches have annoying pets. At least it wasn't a raven.
Those birds give me the creeps.

~Hey, I can read your mind you know~
She said in my mind.

How rude! I shouted in my mind.

"My name is Riona,  I'm not to be referred to as a she!" She said...oops, Riona said.

"Whatever" I said rolling my eyes. And the cat snirred at me.

How dare you!

"Meet snicker, my instructor and protector." Riona said with a wide grin.
She looked cute...but still, a cat?

"How the hell...?" I said as I glared at the cat deeply, not wanting to tear my eyes off it.

~snickers!~

"My mom somewhat gave me. Its just a doll I played with when I was little. Yes, I'm the smallest personality,  the youngest, so I act the most childish.

The gods didn't know about my existence, so they only bounded lexis, vampire self and mom put a spell on me and kept me locked in a huge room with all the vital witch stuff. And mom gave snickers all her memories and spells, so I found a book to make the non living live. But only for a reason, to help me grow my powers, so I can finally come out."  Riona said and in her purple eyes it looked like she was hiding something.
