Blood of a Witch (DuckTales)

Chapter 15

Lena wasn't exited about the sleepover Webby planned with Violet. This time no vampire related things. Just friendly games and sleep. Lena didn't't like the birdling being so friendly twords Webby. Though it wasn't her place to say who Webby could or couldn't hang out with. She just wasn't ready for Webby to leave her yet.

"Aren't you exited. Violet hosting a sleep over?" Webby called as she packed her night stuff.

"Didn't we have one a few days ago."

"Yeah, but this time it's at her house. I've never been over to a friend's before."

"In my defence I didn't really have a house." Lena shrugged. Webby's smile fell and she looked over to Lena.

"I didn't mean it like that." She whinned.

"I know Webby. I ment... it was a joke." Lena faked a laugh, that didn't convince Webby. She was about to speak, when the door opened and Beakley walked in.

"Alright, you two ready to go?" Ms.B asked.

"Of course Granny. Come on!" Webby grinned grabbing Lena's arm and pulling her through the mansion. Ms.B following behind.  Beakley led them into the limbo, that she had to fight Launchpad for, and started down the hill to the city.

Webby gave her Granny the address, and she used her super spy skills to find the house... actually she used GPS, but that's not what Webby wants to believe, so spy skills it is. Webby lead Lena to the front door and knocked. It didn't take long before the door was opened, and a tall bird man was standing there with a smile. He wasn't able to speak when the door was opened further and Violet pushed in front of him.

"I'm happy, that you two were able to spend the night with me. Please come in" She said allowing the girls to walk into the house.

"It's not as big as the mansion. This is the living room, the kitchen is over there. Down the hall are the bedrooms and bathroom." She directed. Violet lead them into the hallway and to the third door.

"This is my room." She opened the door allowing them to see the inside. It was a simple bed neatly made, and a small desk. A bookshelf full of books, books scattered in piles around the floor, and a few posters on the walls.

"What shall we do first?" Violet asked closing the door.

"Oooh, truth or dare is always a good start." Webby said.

"When has that ever been a good start?" Lena asked.

"Very well. Truth or dare." Violet said almost ignoring Lena. They took a seat in a circle by the bed.

"I'll start. Violet, truth or dare."

"Truth."

"What's your favorite pass time." Webby asked. Both the girls looked at Webby skeptically. Being fully aware or what is surrounding them.

"Reading, but when I'm not I'm also a Junior scout."

"Huey is one too." Webby grinned.

"Interesting. Lena, truth or dare?" Violet asked.

"Truth."

"What's your connection to vampires, and what does that have to do with Magica Despell?" Lena froze. Webby lost her smile.

"I continued my research and the name Magica Despell the greatest witch to ever live, came up a lot in connection to Vampires. So why were you two so troubled by the research we conducted?" She pushed.

"Historical imparritive, remember." Lena tried to move past it. But violet pulled out a book.

"You were upset that we couldn't find a cure. I thought it was weird, but then I thought about it and realized that you wanted to find a vampiric cure. Which means you know about the existence of vampires. Which wasn't too surprising given you know McDuck, but you were especially upset about it. Angry even..." Violet pressed. No one spoke.

"This book is about shadow magic. Specificly what it can do. Shadow magic created Vampires. Shadow magic allowed them to reproduce, and Shadow magic is what kills them."

"Shadow magic let's the reproduce?" Lena questioned trying to grab the book, but Violet pulled it back.

"Violet. This was supposed to be a normal sleep over." Webby whimpered.

"And it will be when she answers me."

"Fine. Magica is my aunt. My father was her brother, and I'm a vampire. Now give me the book!" Lena yelled yanked the book out of her hands and started skimming through the pages.

"What's going on in there?" A voice asked from behind the door?

"Just playing a game dad!" Violet yelled back.

"Your not going to tell?" Lena asked.

"No. I want to ask you a few questions." Violet smiled a creepy smile.

Violet asked a question. Lena answered it. And so on. First it started with vampire questions, then shifted to magic, then to Magica... then her past with Magica. Which Lena was hesitant to reply to.

"Lena. How badly did she treat you?" Violet asked. Lena shrugged.

"I don't know... how do your fathers treat you?" Lena asked.

"Supportive, patient, kind, trusting." Violet said.

"The opposite of that." Lena said.

"That's putting it nicely." Webby scoffed.

"What do you mean?" Violet asked.

"You were her slave Lena. You have a brand to prove it." Webby growled. Violet gasped.

"She branded you?" Violet asked in a hushed tone.

"Like cattle." Webby remarked. A horrified look over came Violet, it's the first signs of an emotion they've seen on her.

"Can we move on. Please." Lena asked, curling on herself a bit.

"I guess it's pretty late. Sleep might be in order." Violet said, ready to move on from the subject, after noting how uncomfortable Lena had gotten.

They got changed and ready for bed. Finding a place on the ground to sleep. Violet went to sleep almost instantly. Webby softly talked to Lena, as she read the book. Eventually Webby fell asleep, and Lena was left alone with her thoughts. Though they grew too much to handle so she got up and silently left the room. She sat on the couch taking a deep breath, allowing herself to relax into the seat.

"Hello?" A voice spoke up behind her. How had she not heard him walking towards her.

"Hi." She said turning to see Indy standing with a soft smile.

"Can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Lena forced a smile. Ty sat next to her.

"Bad dream?" He asked. Lena sighed sarcastically. She wanted this all to be a bad dream.

"In a way." She said.

"Talk to me." He suggested. Lena hesitated, she spent a whole hour talking.

"Your daughter asks a lot of questions." She shifted the focus.

"Yeah, she's curious about everything. We encourage it. She's so smart."

"How does that work, two men having a child?" Lena questioned.

"Well we adopted her at a very young age, but we love and adore her."

"What happened to her parents?" She asked.

"They gave her up. Weren't ready to be parents." He frowned. Lena nodded. She desperately wanted to remember what her mother was like. All she remembers is that she gave up everything to protect her. Even her life.

"What about your parents?" He asked hoping it would change the mood, but it only got worse.

"They died. A long time ago." Lena shrugged.

"Who watched over you all these years?" He asked. Lena hesitated.

"My aunt." He seemed to let it go. Which Lena was happy about. She excused herself back to bed. But she wasn't going to get much sleep.

The next day, Webby and Lena were leaving the house to meet Beakley in the limbo.

"Dad. Tell me about child abuse" Lena heard Violet ask as they drove away from the house. Lena froze. That can't end well.
