Finding and Changing Emily

Chapter 36 : Hope

Daniel, the man that I haven't seen in 400 years, decided to come back and what did he bring with him? Some tramp girl who he thinks is his mate! Ha, most likely she found a way to control him. Why would he want to be with some nasty thing like her? I laughed silently as I heard her body hit the floor. If he was cursed at all by her then it would come off him.
"You drugged her?" He asked.
Damn it! Only the mate bond would allow him to know that. He got up and made his way to the kitchen.
"Daniel, if she wasn't cursing you then she shall be fine." I told him.
I moved towards him but he turned and slammed me into the wall.
"I didn't come here for you. I want to make love to my mate. I want the curse off of me." He demanded.
"You'll never get it off you. I hid the witch."
He bit me, drinking my blood and then he stuck a wood spoke into my stomach.
"Tell me where the witch is now." He demanded.
"I don't know. When my father died she left. He promised her protection until death."
He removed the stick and then dragged me outside.
"Where are you taking me?" I demanded.
"To find the witch. I will let you go after we find her. Then Emily and I will go."
I laughed. "What makes you think I'll help you?"
It was clearly the wrong thing to say as he took the stick and shoved it back into my body. Then he tied my arms together with steel, something that vampires can't break out of.
"Now what choice do you have but to help me? He asked.
I knew it was pointless. If I ever wanted to have this god awful stick removed then I was going to have to help him. The only question was where would this witch be? She wouldn't have gone home because then she could be found. "Daniel I don't know where the witch is, honestly."
He smiled and said,"Its a good thing I know how to summon one then isn't it?"
I stopped. He knew how to summon a witch? Then what the hell was I doing here? He didn't need me.
"I know what your thinking. I do need you. Your the one who has to summon her."
He pulled me into the woods and started a fire. I had no idea what was going to happen to me but, one thing was clear. He truly was mated to that girl and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
