Just Like Magic (UNEDITED)

Chapter Thirteen

I felt the blood rush to my ears as Bella made contact with the floor, her knee making a terrific crunch as it did so.

Ears ringing , I bolted outside with my backpack- racing to my parked Porsche which I had created in the morning. I was about to leap in and drive all the way to Arizona when a strong, hand put their hand to stop the door from closing.

My vision flooded with red, my heart pulsing with anger,"Pierce- I swear to god. If you don't let go of my car I will drop kick your sorry little ass to the moon and back."

He did not take my words to heart, choosing to do quite the opposite and closing the car door behind me and taking my car keys from my hand.

"Really?" His voice dripped with sarcasm," Wouldn't you rather use witchcraft and possess my body instead?"

My heart decided to click it's heels and then to dive to my stomach, as I decided whether it was a better option to burst into tears or to correct his improper labeling of my Far powers as witchcraft.

I could feel my throat start to close in fear as his brown eyes stared back angrily,"You can't prove anything."

Bad choice of words.

"I can't," my eye caught his rolled up sleeves and balled up fists and started to back up against my car," But the video I recorded of the incident can definitely prove something."

I couldn't breath.

"Your mother being held hostage? You're on the run from the government?" His tone got more aggressive,"Are you a part of some illegal gang?"

I could kill him. With a flick of my wand I could could murder him and bury his body in the dumpsters and be on my merry way.

But I didn't know who was watching. So I used my charm.

I felt the influence of my powers grow larger in my chest, feeling the sensation flow towards him as I used magic to sway his focus.

"Are you dumb?" Pierce asked me, his voice rising,"Answer the damn question!"

I couldn't believe it,"It didn't work,"I exclaimed breathlessly. I was using my hypnotic powers at full force and it didn't work.

Then, in the distance- I heard the familiar but unbearable sound of Emma's shrill and disgruntled voice.

And she did not sound happy.

"Come to my house at midnight," I instructed him," I'll tell you everything, but Emma cannot know about this." I snatched my keys back from his hands and fled into my Porsche as Emma stormed out the front doors of Rosemont with a thunderous expression.

And then I slammed the accelerator and raced out of he parking lot- my mind turning over the incident in my head.
