Deadly Instincts

9. Mistakes Happen

A/N: Pff, oh wow, looks like Deadly Instincts has over taken RIP oops. But I kinda knew it would happen because DI isn't even meant to be a long story, it was meant to just be some backstory on how Alou and Leia met; two of my ocs that I draw every now and again. So anyyywayyy, I'll try and make the story a lil longer then planned because I really do enjoy writing about these heart breakers. Enjoy ~

LEIA'S POV

It was a whole lot to sink in, yet Alouette gave me no such time to adjust, she continued to talk in a hushed voice how I was a step great grand daughter to her, in a way that was.

But to me, all I heard was static, a buzzing noise ringing in my head as my vision grew blurred. I could feel my legs falling beneath my weight, a fuzzy feeling stirring in my stomach.

Alouette seemed to react to this change almost instantly,  as all of a sudden I was pressed firmly against her breasts in an effort to calm me.

Oops, well this is embarrassing.

Held tightly with my face smooshed against Alou's strangely nipple-less boobs,  I couldn't fight back a warmth spread across my cheeks in my embarrassment.

" U-um... Alou ? "

The older woman looked down at my blushing features,  her bicoloured eyes watching me carefully.

" What is it ? " She asked slowly,  blinking at a slow pace as she said it.

" ..... Um ..... I can't breathe. "

As soon as I said it, the reptilian woman scooted back with a giggle, letting go of my waist.

She then turned away, observing her talons with a click of her tongue. " Now, I almost forgot to ask but, " Alou started to say, pausing as she looked up at me.

At this time I had managed to stand up and dust myself off a little, but I knew instantly I wasn't going to like her questions. 

Herw we go.. I thought, gulping down a lump in my throat.

Alouette had sat down again, crossing her legs with her hands firm in her knees. " But how is it that you're a witch ? "

Shit.

Since hearing Alouette's backstory, I had hoped she had forgotten my little magic twist in hopes it would not anger her; I mean, she had 101 reasons to hate witches after all.

I shrugged loosely in reply, before opening my mouth to speak. " Mum was a witch,  dad was a human, I just inherited the witch gene I guess. "

My answer however, did not seem to quench Alou's curiosity,  as once more she tilted her head and asked,

" But where are your parents now ? "

I paused,  looking away as I rubbed my arm nervously.

I knew this topic would be brought up sooner or later... But... I never thought this soon.

" Dead, " I said, turning back to Alou as I gave a weak smile.

" Oh... " Alou said as she looked down, " I'm so sorry to hear that "

" They died for their sins, as some called it. I guess not everyone was ready for magic in this world. Mum was the first to go,  they burned her alive and forced me to watch,  telling me that it would happen to me too ir I continued to practise my witch craft.  By then, dad went loopy, he wanted to bring mum back at all costs, even at the cost of my life or his. "

" Then how did he die ? "

" I killed him. " I started to say, recieving an overly shocked expression from Alouette.

" I never meant to of course, " I continued to say with a loose shrug,  " I was ten at the time and he thought I was ready to bring mum back. Maybe I was, but never the less we got the spell wrong. I said everything right, wrote all the right symbols on the ground, but since I am a blood witch, the spell needed blood. lots of it. Dad had left this part out, he wanted to sacrifice me to get mum back. "

I looked at the ground, hearing the clicking on the stone as Alouette stood up and walked over to me, she placed her arm on my shoulder and pulled me into a warm hug.

" But, as soon as he cut my throat, Buddy appeared and slaughtered him to pieces, before my neck healed up completely without even a scar. "

" That doesn't mean you killed him though, Buddy did- who's Buddy ? " Alouette asked, squinting her navy and silver eyes in confusion.

" My dog.  "

" You own a dog ? "

" ... Yeah ? "

Suddenly a side grin grew in the dragon's face, her feathered tail wagging about in delite. " Where are they ? Can I see them ? " Exitement merely poured out of Alou's existence,  a refreshing feeling compared to talking about my past.

" Sure,  " I said, untangling myself from Alou's hug as I turned away, raising my finger to my teeth as I bit into the flesh. As soon as the blood began to drip out, the large black dog appeared infront of me, his body radiating darkness.

I heard a small gasp behind me, making a large grin grow onto my lips.

It was like I had almost forgotten what Alou had told me.

Oh my god

She's my great grandma through marriage, my last living relative ! Alouette was now technically my legal guardian up until I was eighteen... No wonder I couldn't leave the cave, I was stuck here, legally.
