The Boy In Her Dream

Chapter Eleven: Witch Council

Mike POV

Mom, Dad, we need to get her back... I say as I grab my car keys.

My dad takes them from me with a sad face.

"No, son, we need to build her trust again; give her time; she will come back to us." He says

I felt hopeless.

I was the only one she relied on, the big brother she loved.

I sit down on the couch, staring at the ceiling, feeling defeated and angry at myself for doing everything wrong.

Why did I have to hurt her and pull her that way? I saw the hurt in her eyes when she found out that she was adopted. My sweet angel.

I love her so much it hurts. 

"I know she is supposed to be my sister, but she is not!" I slam my fist on the center table. 

The hairs on my skin went up. I felt an ominous presence approaching my house but still far away. I almost peed in my pants out of fear of what was approaching. I began to shake like it was a very cold and windy day.

Oh no, they are here.

The Witches Council is approaching.

I didn't need to inform my parents because they were already kneeling in front of the door waiting for the council to arrive. 

I join them and wait...

The door slammed open, and Alfia, the head of the Witches Council, walked up to my mom and slapped her across the face.

My dad is about to get up to defend his wife when Richard, the second in command, grabs my dad by his head and slams it into the wall, causing him to go through it.

I am fuming with anger, but I don't do anything because I am no match against them. I just kneeled, tightened my fist, and made a mental note of how they treated my parents.

Sarah, the third in command, walks up to me with black tights, a black shirt, a black trench coat, and black heels, whistling the melody that makes our bodies paralyzed, putting us in a submissive position...

She takes her long black nails, lifts my head, and asks me, "How do you want to be punished?". 

I look at my parents, and I say, "Banish me from the witch's council and take away my powers, making me a human."

She laughs, "Do you think we are that naive to grant you freedom after you let our most prized possession disappear into the hands of the enemy?"

I didn't respond...

She looks at me and says, "Because of your family, we are going to war with the werewolves, and if we don't win the war, your family will die by burning at the stake."

I don't hear my mom and dad, and that is when I noticed that they were knocked out cold on the floor under the feet of those two Council members...

"Please give us one more chance; we will get Elie back, and there will be no need for a war." I plead

Alfia walks up to me and asks me, "Do you know why we allowed you to raise Elie as a sister, why we cloaked her wolf, and why her parents willingly gave her to us?"

I look puzzled...

I replied, "Isn't it because I am to take her as my own to help create hybrids for the witch's council to give us more power?"

She laughs.....

"I see your parents kept you in the dark," she laughs and continues, "the reason why, is not for you to do with her as you please but because her blood has great value."

"What do you mean by her blood having good value to us? What is she?" I demanded.

She ignores me, picks up my mom by the neck, and informs her, "If Elie is not returned to you in three weeks, we will go to war,r, and your entire family will die, win or lose."

She drops my mom, and they all disappear into thin air laughing...

Mom and Dad, are you guys okay? Do you need me to make a potion or call the healer?

They both shook their heads no, helped each other up slowly, and went to their room.

What does she mean by Elie's blood being precious?

Am I not going to have kids with Elie and do with her body as I see fit?

I slump down to the floor and plan my revenge on Christopher.

Because of him, my family will die!

If I am going to die, win or lose, I will have Elie as I see fit!!
