Bellatrix [ON HOLD]

Chapter Three

We've reached a part of town I've never been to. I jumped off the bike, put my helmet aside and tried to ruffle out my helmet hair. I looked over to see Demitri laughing.

"What exactly is so funny?" I scowled.

"Nothing, at all." He turned around and gestured for me to follow him.

We walked down an alley with graffiti markings all along the walls. Demetri suddenly stopped and turned left down another alley way until we reached a giant building at the end. It was easily an old building with worn out bricks and dust running up the sides of the beams.

"This is where our President stays, Weldon Moldey. It's also where we buy our gear and pick our weapons. I guess you could say it's our headquarters." He led me up the stone steps.

When we reached the door my phone lit up and started vibrating. I looked at my screen and saw that Rose had text me.

"Bell where are you? I haven't heard from you and judging by how much you've had on your mind, I'm a little worried. Pls reply. –Rose." I sighed and started typing.

"Rose I'm okay, I promise. Will explain everything later. Come round when I get home?" My phone buzzed again almost too quickly.

"Okay, text me when you're home. Thank you. Be safe." I sighed with a smile and put my phone back in my pocket.

"Everything okay?" Demitri looked down at me.

"Yup, just my friend that's all." He smiled and put his hand on my back to lead me into the giant front door.

"Weldon?" Demitri called as he shut the door behind him.

I took a second to take in my surroundings. It's so beautiful inside, not like the outside. It looks very well kept. The flooring was a white marble and the walls a very light tan. I followed the walls up and looked at the ceiling and gasped. The ceiling had a beautiful chandelier dangling gracefully with crystals spinning on the tips making the whole ceiling sparkle.

"Amazing" I whispered to myself.

"It is isn't it?" Demitri was beside me looking up in the same direction.

"Come he must be in his study." I followed close behind him taking in the rest of the marvelous house.

"Why such a big house for one man?" I had to ask. Demitri smiled a small genuine smile.

"Weldon has always said he keeps a house so big in case any of his Sahir children need safe haven or even just a place to stay. He loves our company and he's such a kind man."

"That's really nice." I smiled.

I can't believe one man would keep such a marvelous oversized house just to be in the aid of others. Demitri stopped in front of white door what an octagon shaped window and a gold lion door knocker. Demitri grabbed the handle of the knocker and tapped the door twice. I hear an excited voice on the other side of the door.

"Guest? Oh do come in!" Demitri opened the door with a smile and I followed behind him.

"Weldon it's nice to see you, I've brought with me Bellatrix. Her taqa has surfaced." Demitri gave Weldon a small handshake.

"Ah, sweet child. I'm so sorry you had to go through that alone. I'm Weldon please come in and have seat." He gives me a friendly hug.

We spent the last thirty minutes discussing what Demitri has already told me.

"Oh! Well you've done well my son! I'm so proud." Weldon says a he takes a sip of tee from a small black cup. Demitri gave a chuckle back.

"I've tried my best." Weldon smiled and looked my way.
