Devil In Disguise

CHAPTER 10

Myst's POV

I walked inside the living room and stopped when I saw Dominic eating something. Are those gummy bears?

"I thought you hate gummy bears?" I sat on the sofa diagonal to him and looked at what he was watching on the TV. It's some kind of mystery film, I guess.

"Psh. I didn't buy it. Someone gave it to me," he said and took a handful of the bears inside his mouth. While chewing on it he took out one and squeezed it between his fingers, like what he used to do when he was a kid.

Dominic has always loved gummy bears. Out of all the candies there are, gummy bears are the one he likes the most. I asked him one day when we were kids why he likes gummy bears, and he said and I quote, "Because they're so 'adowable' and 'kyut' and tiny and delicious."

Mom was the one who introduced him to gummy bears, and everday when she comes home from work she always has a pack of gummy bears to give to Dominic while she gives me a pack of Skittles. She eats it with us and that's the only time Dominic shares his gummy bears so generously. But when mom passed away, he eventually stopped eating it because it reminds him of her. It was so painful for Dominic because he was there when mom passed away, he was only 7 when that happened and he was so innocent and didn't know what to do.

"Who gave it to you? Kara?" I guessed and was actually surprised when he nodded and ate the gummy bear he was squeezing earlier.

I was about to ask another question again but he quickly stole my chance. "Why are you hear again, anyway? I've noticed that your stays here are getting more often."

"I miss you, bro-bro," I whispered my endearment for him and gave him a gang sign and he gave me a bewildered look. I just laughed and slapped his kneecap.

"You like hitting me, don't you?" I moved beside him and grabbed a gummy bear from his bag. I was about to get another one when he moved the bag away from me. See? He's so greedy with gummy bears.

"Yes, you're a bad boy," I whispered in his ear and he pushed me away. I saw his skin having goosebumps and his upper body twitched and I laughed.

"You're so gross," he spat at me.

"Why? I was just saying that you're a bad boy!" I exclaimed and leaned my elbow on the armrest of the sofa.

"Yeah but the way you said it is so seductive, eww," he furrowed his eyebrows, scrunching up his nose and kept looking forward at the screen.

"I didn't say it seductively, it's just that my voice is naturally sexy," I winked at him and he glared at me then rolled his eyes. I laughed when I noticed that he was pissed off at what I did. It's always fun teasing him like this.

Kara's POV

I watched from my bedroom window as mom drove her car away from our house. She said she's going to meet a college friend of hers because it's their reunion today.

When I couldn't see the car anymore I swiftly shut the curtains and turned on the lights. I stood in the middle of my room and breathed in and then out.

Time to practice.

I closed my eyes and focused hard. I've been trying for the past few days to use some spells without verbally saying it. Its pretty hard because you really need to concentrate saying the spell in your mind for it to work. But once you've mastered it, it would be much easier to use the spells, all you'll need to do is wave your hand here and there.

I extended my right arm and thought of a spell.

Levioso.

I gently waved my hand upwards. I opened my eyes and saw the body mirror in front of me shaking a bit on the floor and almost lifting off the ground. I concentrated harder and looked intensively at it.
