Heart Like Stone & Soul Black as Coal

Chapter 14:The Three Words

The portal transported me to The Council's meeting hall and as I burst through those doors I could practically feel my blood bubbling from all the anger within me.

I'm going to give all these old men a piece of my min-

I was cut short from my thoughts when I bumped into someone's hard chest.

-"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE COULD YOU NOT GET IN MY WAY!" I screamed as I looked up to be met with a man. A very handsome man may I add.

His raven hair was neatly coned back and had a bit of stubble that just made him look more professional.

He looked in his mid-forties but was still well built. But the most striking part about him were his silver eyes. They were so shiny and bright. They pulled you in like metal to a magnet and you couldn't seem to look away.

-"I'm sorry, seems like you were in a hurry,my bad" his deep voice interrupts me from my thoughts. I'm still scowling even though the anger isn't directed at him. It partly is but...mostly is directed towards the council and stuff.

-"Yes I was in a hurry and I still am. Move" I said not even disguising the attitude in my tone a bit.

He stretches out his hand for me to shake and with a role of my eyes I take it.

-"Mark Milano,nice to meet you"he introduces himself,grinning.

Were have I heard that last name before? Milano it sounds so familiar.

-"A witch that's in a hurry, wish I could say the same about you" he laughs loudly at my response. One of those very deep belly laughs that only a true business man uses.

-"I already now that,but whats your name?" He questions raising a brow.

-"Why do you need to now that?,it's non of your business" I state.

-"Well,I just find it curious that such a young witch like yourself is in a hurry to be in a meeting with The Council. Most teenagers aren't interested in this." He says,a ghost of a smile plastered on his lips.

-"If we meet again then I might consider it"

-"Very well"

-"It's not easy to find me anyways"

-"Oh, I'll make sure we meat again Miss,now go,the room is currently empty"

-"Very well" I retort and walk towards the huge wooden double doors.

Milano....why is that so familiar?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

-"Viktor!" I scream as I bang the doors open with a wave of my hand.

Immediately the whole rooms attention is towards me.

The man in the red cloak,with disgusting skin,that sits in the middle desk of the highest bench stands up.

-"What brings you here Jade?"

-"You and your stupid rules got me this!" I say as I pull off my denim jacket and point at my bruises.

-"My rules did not bruise you,your breaking of the rules did" he states matter of factly,and that just rises my anger.

-"That's were your wrong! I haven't broken any rules! I'm going to my classes! I haven't missed one! But I fool around with a boy and I get beat up! The deal clearly stated that as long as I went to my classes and practiced I could fool around with boys and do as I want with them!"
