"We are done!" Rose says loudly and holds a hand-mirror in front of me.

"Oh my god, I love it!" I say and hug her. So I kind of changed my mind and instead of dyeing all my blonde hair black we only decided on dying the ends of my hair black.

"This is much better than dyeing all you hair, I'm sure ha- I mean your friend will love it" she says trying to cover her slip up, and I decide not to question her further.

"Yeah I guess. Should I practice more? For the battle shit?" I ask and her head snaps in my way suddenly.

"Um yes. Look Tara I've got to tell you something"

"Okay?" I look at her confused by her sudden mood change. She sits on the bed and pats the spot beside her, causing me to sit there.

"Look, Dean doesn't know this and he practically raised me. I-I'm a witch" she says and looks at me expectedly while I just let the words settle in.

"A witch?" I ask to confirm.

"Yes a witch and I think I can help train you further before this Saturday"

"Why Saturday?"

"It's better to keep precaution because the battle is on Monday," she says and I'm yet more shocked that the battle is really close since today is Wednesday.

"We are not going to have much time" I whisper and look at her.

"We will and maybe that friend of yours can help?" she asks.

"Well, he is actually the main reason they are going against Dean and I" I say and walk to the window.

"Still, you both have a thing together whatever it is" she shrugs and walks beside me.

"You know, you talk like some kind of wise caring mother" I chuckle.

"You like it" she grins and I just shake my head.

"Let's start. C'mon" she says and claps her hand walking to the door, but turns and looks at me.

"Are you coming or not?" she says and I just follow her.

Rose and I spent an approximate of 4 hours practicing my skills, which turned out not as bad. I have gone to my room and threw myself onto the bed sighing.

Why is the battle happening? Can't both sides discuss it before going full force? I honestly don't think that I should fight to protect Dean; I should stand with the people, just like charming. I have got only got 4 days to prepare before Monday and I'm pretty sure I'm not close to being ready. Just as I sigh and start walking to the bathroom and knock stops me abruptly, and before I turn I already know whom it is.

"Charming" I say and open the balcony door giving him a hug.

"Hello Ta- Wait, I love the hair!" he squeals loudly like some teenage girl.

"Thank you. I thought it would look better than dyeing it all black" he nods smiling and sits on the bed.

"So, how are you?" I ask and sit next to him.

"I'm fine, you?"

"I'm good, nervous about the battle but good" I say and lean my head on his shoulder.

"Aww, you seem tired" he says and plays with my newly dyed tips.

"Mhm, but I still need to read some kind of spell book" I groan and lift my head up looking at him.

"Why do you want to fight with dean?" he asks out of nowhere.

"I don't know, I was thinking about it earlier and I don't want to fight with him, I want to fight against him" I say and stand up.

"Then come with me, I can train you and we can defeat dean and the other lords" he stands taking both my hands in his.

"But charming I can't" I mumble quietly taking my hands away. Yes he has a fair point, but I can't leave even if there is no reason for me to stay.

"You can and it's you opinion" he says he whispers in my ear sending shivers all through me.

"I know but I need to stay her, for Rose and t-the b-baby" I stutter and back away from him.

"Bring rose with you! And for the baby we will help raise him or her" he says throwing his hand up in the air in frustration.

"But dean is the father and I don't want my child growing up without a father" I say shaking my head.

"Wait so you're keeping the baby?"

"Of course I am!" I raise my voice.

"Look I'll give you 3 days to decide, but I'll be back tomorrow so bye" he says and kisses my cheek gently then walks out to the balcony and starts to climb down. What he said all makes sense and I might consider it, but I just couldn't help but feel the butterflies erupt every time he is close to me.

I think I'm actually starting to like him. And I don't even know his bloody name.
