Beware of the House (The unedited version)

Chapter 9 - Witch Magic

A/N sorry this took so long. I updated wattpad on my phone and I lost it so I attempted to rewrite it but now that's gone and I found this so here you go.

***

Taka's P.O.V.

The phone next to my bed rang, that's strange, I never noticed that there...

"Uh, hello?" I've never really been a phone person.

"Hi, this is Cleo. I would like to talk to you about something. It's really important! Bye!" She hung up. Ok...

I walked to her room and knocked on her door, she quickly hurried me inside and down the corridor? Wow, her room's a house! We ended up in a lounge room where we both sat down.

"You're a witch," she said.

"Yeh... Obiously?"

"Witches do magic,"

"Wait, can I do magic?"

"That's what I'm here to talk to you about, I used to be a witch you see..."

"But-but you're a VAMPIRE! Not a WITCH!"

"I used to be a witch, but now I'm cursed to be a vampire,"

"Oh... But can't you change yourself back?"

"I used to want to so I could just SEE what I used to look like, so I could look at what my sister looked like-"

"You have a sister?"

"Used to, max and Jeylen murdered my whole family," she looked really sad when she said this. I feel sorry for her, "I still have one family member though but I havnt seen her in 37 years!"

"Then go see her! Wait, you don't want to be a witch again?"

"I don't mind anymore, I got special mirrors put in all the bathrooms. I guess you've seen one?"

"Yep, they're awesome!"

"Yeh well I look at that instead now, oh and you can't change me back now anyway, it's a curse,"

"Then why are you telling me all this?"

"You are the only witch here that I trust with magic. My spell book is in that room over there," she pointed to the door which looked really old compared to Cleo's modern apartment.

"Ok..."

"You can go in, I haven't gone in there for a couple hundred years,"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive,"

Cool? I think not, this is AWESOME! I have to be responsible though.

I opened the door and saw a REALLY old fashioned room. There's a big pot in the middle of the room with metal stilts so you could light a fire underneath. There are shelves covering 3 of the walls besides one wall which has a bench with bits and bobs on it.

The shelves were lines with spell books and potions of all sorts, as well as a bunch of small bottles which are labeled saying things like: lizard guts, rainbow dust, vampire ashes, sea water, dragon eyelashes, wizard spew, ect. Wow, what queer things...

"You like it?" I jumped up when I heard Cleo right behind me. Gee she's quiet!

"Y-yeh, it's awesome," I stuttered, "Why do I need to learn magic though?"

"Oh, can you keep a secret?" She whispered, even though I'm sure her apartment is soundproof.

"Yeh..."

"Cool, well you know Lucy?" I nodded, "Well she has a mobile phone and she called her parents telling them where she is,"

"What's so bad about that?"
