Chapter 10

"Yeah, boss, she's the one, there's no mistaking it." They said roughly down the phone, stalking out of the palace grounds.

"Excellent, now we just need a witch to cooperate and we'll be set." Their hands fumbled with the keys as they held the phone between their neck and shoulder. They didn't know the reason behind their boss needing this girl, just that they were being paid a very large sum of money that would set the up for the remainder of their life.

"How are you gonna get a witch, boss? They've been extinct for nearly 500 years, you made sure of it."

"I left the Azarola witch alive, no way was I risking being cursed any further, now I've just got to hunt down their grandchildren and we'll be one step closer to freeing him."

"You sure you want this boss?" They managed to unlock the car, and began pulling away and down the drive. "You know the risks."

"I may know the risks but that doesn't mean I want her back, he's the only one that can help and that little Azarola witch is going to help, whether she likes it or not." They sighed; the boss was one determined man, risking it all for a dead witch that has been tormenting him since the year 1573.

"Now, get back here, we need to cover as much ground as possible to find this witch."

"I don't know where else you want to look boss, we've already searched Gualtiero, Hedvika, Aurelianus, Ermann, Zosia, Oxana, and Mikhel."

"There are still 4 countries left; I can't lose to that Bukowski mutt."

"This isn't going to kill anyone, boss, is it?"

"What does it matter to you, you're just the spy."

"I get that boss, but is it worth it?"

"Are you questioning my authority? After everything I've done for you?!" He roared down the phone.

"No boss." The phone disconnecting and they sighed, slamming their head to the steering wheel, how could they do this?

Their boss was a powerful man, someone that shouldn't be reckoned with, 500 years ago he was in what was once Italy, he came across an incredibly powerful witch and attempted to trick her. They remembered it clearly, of course they were only young but he could still picture this woman. Tendrils of white hair that fell around her in waves, large black eyes that could crush a man's ego with a simple look, skin that was an unnatural whiteness to it. She was evil but could hide it well. Acantha Azarola, even to her last moments she was cursing those around her. They guessed that was why the boss crossed her, seeing her as no more than a child.

'"You know better than to play dirty with a witch" She hissed, accents heavily on her words as she clutched the dagger that was stuck in her chest. "You think you could kill me, you petty boy." She spat, circling around him as she watched the man gasp for breath as he was suspended mid-air.

The sun from the warm air filtered in to her small shack, showing the various jars of odd objects scattered around, the outside chatter with the occasional goat filtered in as she trained her eyes on him. Seething, blood spilling from her lips. "Is this your friend?" She looked over to a young boy also suspended in air.

"Br...Broth...her" He choked out; face going more and more purple as the air was squeezed from him. The two men were lords, their blond hair swept back from their faces.

"You're the Bukowski's, new to this area. This'll show you." Their veins were replaced with black lines snaking their way around their bodies before their bones cracked and they shifted into hideous beasts, horns erupting from their heads. "Good luck surviving now."' She had planned to be living longer but they had filled the dagger with witch hazel and before long she hung around the mind of the eldest Bukowski. They'd been the first demons to walk on Earth, their souls were taken that day and she remained onto them.

Now, they wanted their souls.
