The Vampire king And The Marked Witch

chapter six

Anita

After I dropped Selena off at the hospital I went straight to Scorpion. He had many things to explain, If he was the one who planned things with Darren yesterday which I think he did then he had me to answer to.

Selena almost died yesterday for what exactly just because she won the game against the big gambling Darren. I hated men who taught they could take advantage of a woman just because she's a woman.

If Scorpion had betrayed me just if, I would cut his balls. I don't care who he think he is. I would cut any fool's balls who think he could mess with me.

I was no longer the nerd Anita, Definitely not the girl who allowed the school's bad boy to deflower her in the car only the next day to get a breakup text.

I grew up in an orphanage, abandoned by my parents. It was a nightmare living with humans while you were a witch, I even tried committing a suicide. And when I met him I was desperate for anyone who was like me only for him to tarnish the little confidence I had.

I knew from that day not to trust anyone.

The security guards at Scorpion's penthouse allowed me in without trouble which was a first.

I got inside the penthouse and found Scorpion in his office.He looked up from his files.

“I knew you would come”,he said and told me to seat.

“Don't you dare bull shoot me! Do you know that Selena almost died?” I shouted at him.

“Anita sit your ass down,” he growled at me but I didn't take his order. “Whether you believe me or not I didn't plan anything with Darren. If I did I would've been dead this way or the other.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“That Darren pulled that on his own accord.” he said

I sat down on the chair and took a moment to process that before turning to him.

“But why would Darren want to kill Selena, If he didn't have you on his side?” I asked him because it made no sense. Darren wasn't someone I could call stupid. He wouldn't kill Selena in Mark's club if he knew no one would back him up.

“I didn't work with him, You didn't work with him then it leave only one person. Mark.” he said and, poured himself a glass of whiskey and emptied it in one gulp before refilling it.

I gasped,“Mark wouldn't do that, he treats Selena as his daughter.”

He handed me the glass which I gladly took it.

“Except she's not.”

I sipped at the glass,“I don't believe you.”

Mark wouldn't do that, would he?

Scorpion passed me a file.

“Take a look at that.”

I gave him a suspicious glance before reading the file. By the time I was through I had already emptied the glass.

“Baby Jesus, that's terribly. Did he really kill his wife and the baby?”

With the past I had very little surprised me but the file did.

“But it still doesn't say why he wantes to kill Selena.”

“Do you know why I said I'd die if I killed Selena?” I nodded my head no, “Because I wouldn't mess with what belong to the Vampire King.”

There's that name again, The Vampire King. The most feared vampire on earth and the supernatural world.

I heard very little about him and what I knew is not good at all, that I even nicknamed him to be The King of the darkness. Just out of respect for him.
