The Crows.

Chapter Six - The Witch.

Standing in the doorway was a young women......her hair was down to her waist and a crimson red colour , she wore a tightly fitted black dress which seems to make her chest area look bigger and no shoes , I watched as she glanced around the room , her eyes resting on me , they were the same colour as her hair.

"You!" She hissed at me walking into the room." Where have you put my book?"

Then she laughed, the sound making me cringe as she clicked her fingers and the book appeared in her hands then she held her hand up towards me and I couldn't breath as my body was being pulled towards her.

"Darla !!" I heard Damien shouted as I felt her hand wrap around my neck but then I could breath, I stared her , her eyes were filled with hatred and anger. I glanced at Damien he looked scared and confused.

" Damien!" I whispered.

Suddenly I was being raised in the air , gripping onto her wrist.

" Darla!" Damien shouted then I watched as the witch pointed her palm at him and he dropped to the floor gasping for breath.

"Damien !!" I heard his father shout.

" Please grandma ! Don't do this!" I whispered looking desperately at Damien , his father had his arm around him.

" GRANDMA !" she screeched " Please child ....Do not insult me!"

"But you are my......grandma." I replied still looking at Damien , I noticed Damiens dad shoot up and charge at the witch but suddenly he was flung to the other side of the room , I cringed as he hit the wall with a thud then he just fell to the floor in a heap.

" Stop !" I said as then Damien started to rise up , I looked at the witch , she had a smug smile on her face.

"STOP IT !! STOP IT!!" I screamed at her, tears running down my cheeks "I WILL DO ANYTHING J.....JUST DON'T HURT THEM ANYMORE."

She dropped Damien on the floor then dropped me and grabbed my wrist.

" I will see you laters boys." She said in a sweet flirty tone as she walked towards the door pulling me with her.

"Darla !" I heard Damien shout , I turned to look at him.

" I'm sorry." I replied as she pulled me out of the door , suddenly I felt something binding my wrists together , I looked down to see a sort of vine weaving it way around my wrist then it tightened making me cringe , I pulled at my wrists but they wouldn't move , noticing another piece attached to my part I followed it with my eyes to see that she had it in her hand. I slowly walked behind her staring at the floor like the prisoner that I was.

" Darla !" I heard someone shout behind us, I turned slightly to see Damien running after us.

"That boy never learns." The witch huffed "Just like his mother."

I felt a wave of fear come over me as I watched him running.

"Damien ! Stop! Don't come any further ......I....I'm doing this to protect you." I shouted at him as I watched him suddenly stop, frozen. " Go back to your father !"

I felt a sharp tug on my wrists , sighing I looked at the witch as she started to walk again.

When we got to the house , she walked upstairs pulling me along with her...She walked into my room and started to tie the vine to the bed post , I sat on the bed as I watched her tie it three times then it melted all together so it would be impossible to untie.

" I will make sure that you can walk around your room but that is it." The witch said.

"Ok." I mumbled.

She smiled softly at me as she closed the door , I heard a locking noise and saw that she had used magic to create a lock to lock my room then I noticed it glowed and then I noticed the whole house glowing a purple colour.

"Looks like I'm not escaping anytime soon." I mumbled as I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling ,I felt something cold on my chest , I looked down to see the necklace I held it in my hand tightly closing my eyes I thought of Damien.

Tap....Tap.....Tap....

I groaned as I rolled over in my sleep.

Tap.....Tap.....Tap....

"Five more minutes grandma!" I mumbled as I rolled over again.

Tap......Tap.....My eyes shot on and I quickly sat up , but groaning as my head spun from the sudden movement.....Tap.....Tap....I looked at my window , the moons light shining through the window lighting up my room slightly......I narrowed my eyes as I noticed something on my window sill , I froze when I saw what it was , I got up and tried to open my window....Thankfully it opened and standing there was a crow , with a shaky hands I reached towards it , it turned it head to look at me. I froze as it walked towards me then pressing its head into my hand; I ran my hand down its back.

"Your feathers are so soft." I whispered then i watched as it flew onto the top of my wardrobe, I stared at it then it flew down onto the floor.

"Damien ?" I asked just as he appeared in front of me, he smiled at me and pulled me into his arms , I gripped onto his shirt burying my face into his chest.

" Darla!" He whispered tightening his grip on me after a few minutes he pulled away and looked down at me. "Why ? why let her take you like that."

"I couldn't let her hurt you or your father." I said looking at him then I notice him glance down at my hands.

"She still has you tied up ?" he muttered frowning slightly then he looked back at me. "My father hated you a few minutes ago , why would you do that for him?"

"Because he is your father ......and I couldn't let my family hurt yours anymore then they have." I answered then he smiled as he lent down slightly pressing his lips against me , I went to wrap my arms around his neck but made a sound of annoyance when I realised I couldn't, I heard Damien laugh against my lips, I pulled away.

" Not fair." I grumbled pouting.

" Don't pout." He said smiling as he placed a hand on my right cheek.

" Why ?" I asked as he raised an eyebrow " Oh....Erm.....that's..."

He started to laugh at me, I smiled at him.

"Don't laugh to me." I said pouting again.

"Darla!" He said as he suddenly picked me up, I squeaked trying to cling onto him, then he walked over to my bed and dropped me onto it.

"Hey! That weren't very nice !" I said frowning.

"That's what you get for pouting." He replied grinning.

I smiled as he lay next to me , wrapping his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him.

" I don't pout." I said playfully.

"Oh really ?" He replied laughing then he start to tickle me , I squealed out trying to stop him but it failed due to my handcuffs.
" Damien! Stop !" I said breathlessly , my ribs aching, he stopped then I curled into him as best as I could.
" Good night." He whispered as I closed my eyes" Sweet dreams , my angel."

I sighed as I felt the heat from the sun on my face, my eyes fluttered open, I looked up to see Damien watched me smiling softly.
" Morning." I whispered smiling " How long have you been watching me ?"
" Morning , only a few minutes." He replied sitting up , pulling me up with him then I heard a cupboard slam shut downstairs.
" How long has it been awake ?" I asked.
" I don't know, I could hear the cupboards going when I woke up." He replied.
Frowning at this I looked at the window.
" Looks like it's going to be a nice day today." I mumbled.
"Yup." He said popping the p.
" You know , as much as I liked waking up next to you , you should of left while it was still dark...you can't leave now." I said watching him.
" Oh well....I'm sure my father can look after the cabin until I get back." He said smiling.
" I wish I could come with you." I said pouting.
" Darla ?" He said with a raised eyebrow.
" What?" I said confused.
" No pouting." He huffed.
"Sorry." I said smiling.
Damien stayed with me for most of the day....then I watched as he stud up and stretched.
" I have to go." He said looking at me, I felt my heat sink at the thought of him leaving me, it must of shown on my face because he sat next to me pulling me into his arms.
" I will come back as soon at I can, I promise." He whispered in my ear as he hugged me.
" I'm holding you to that promise." I mumbled into his shoulder then he pulled away and walked to the window, he opened the window and climbed out , I watched as he changed and then flew off, sighing I sat on the bed and waited.

Damien P.O.V.

I flew towards the forest glancing at the buildings below me.
" There has to be a way to help her ." I thought to myself as I reached the edge of the forest , I dropped down to the ground and changed , walking to the cabin.
" Damien ?" I heard my father say as soon as I had walked in, i could feel my eyes filling up so ignoring him , I bolted upstairs and slammed my bedroom door shut and leaning against it.
