Damien's Novela

Chapter 9 (Edited)

Damien's pov

"Isabella, your secret?"

Isabella : I hate roses! I hate perfectionists! I love wacky, weird, and all things abnormal.

"What is your question for Damien?"

Isabella : What does Vita Socium mean?

"Vita Socium means Life Partner."

I avoided any and all eye contact with Camilo. As Isabella and Mirabel smirked to each other. 

"Dolores, what is your secret?"

Dolores : I can hear every baby being conceived in the village. 

A lot of red faces erupted in the room. 

"W-what is your question for Damien?"

Dolores : What was wrong with Camilo earlier?

"Due to the amount of magic pumped into his body, he had acute magic poisoning."

"Luisa, what is your secret?"

Luisa : I'm gay.

I think Alma had a mini stroke as soon as those words left her mouth. 

"What is your question for Damien?"

Luisa : How do you keep your hair so well maintained?

"A shower everyday, I shampoo twice and condition once. I also comb my hair after each time I rinse the shampoo and conditioner out."

"Camilo, what is your secret?"

Camilo : My gift uses a lot of energy so I need to eat a lot more than everybody else and my gift hurts me badly if I stay in a certain form for too long.

"What is your question for Damien?"

Camilo : I'll...ask later.

My head slumped forward onto the table in relief as Granny laughed at my misery. 

"Alright. Mirabel, what is your secret?"

Mirabel : I'm a witch.

She let her wings out and antenna out and flapped them a bit. 

"What is your question for Damien?"

"Will I get a staff?"

"Yeah, I teach you how to wield one after you master the wind." 

"Antonio, what is your secret?"

Antonio : I speak to Tio Bruno's rat friends to get spoiler for his telenovela shows. 

"Do you have a question for Damien?"

Antonio : It's not a question. Is that okay with you?

"Of course sweet boy."

Antonio : Please treat Camilo well! Even though Tio Bruno is Camilo's papi, his is still my big brother!

I went ten shades of red. 

"This Witches Council is completed."

I practically threw myself out the door and hid in my potion room. I could hear everybody laugh and get ushered out by Selkie and Granny. 

"Damien, I'm going back home now! I'll be back to visit in one week! See you then dearie!"

I heard a faint knock on the door, so I cracked it open. I saw a red Camilo and opened it wider, now looking like a bell pepper. 

"I'm your life partner?"

"Ye-yeah."

"Wow. Um, does this mean we should go on a date?"
