Chapter 12:Clouded...(Part 1)

A/N: Sh*t just got real...

----------------------------------------------

Laurent ran his fingers through his agro fluffing it out some more as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He looked good, in fact, too good to just be having a meeting with a very special friend. But he felt there was no wrong in his attire so he didn’t change a thing. He smelled good, looked well and that’s all that matters.

His presence grew weak and his nerves wracked as he heard the sound of her heels getting closer to his door. “You smell lovely!” Larissa complemented him as she poked her head through his doorway. Laurent told her thanks not bothering to look her way for he can see her through the mirror. His irritation grew when she decided to step into the room.

“Having someone over?” she asked in a casual way but Laurent knew it was anything but. He nodded still paying her any attention. She was walking closer and closer to him, “I just thought I asked, the girls are down there primping the house up so…I was just being nosy” she said now standing 2 feet behind him.

Laurent’s personal space felt invaded and she wasn’t even close, but to just have her so much as near him made his skin crawl; she was a snaked and he knew it. He continued to get ready for Carter while Larissa stood behind him with her hands behind her back. Out of nowhere she wrapped her arms around his slim waist catching him off guard.

“Hold me Laurent…” she whispered against his back, “Hold me and never let go…please…” without thinking Laurent back handed her so hard she flew across the room. She landed in front of his bed now holding her face in her hands moaning in pain. Laurent stared at the damage fixing his shirt rubbing out the wrinkles from her disgusting hug.

“Clean yourself up and get the hell out my room. Go to your own and you don’t leave until later!” he spat at her. She still lay there holding her face now crying as her nose seemed to be split. Nova heard the commotion with her supersonic hearing and ran up the stairs, she expected the worst and that’s what she saw. Larissa on the floor weeping holding her bloody face while Laurent stood there staring with no kind of emotion in his eyes. He looked like a monster, she didn’t know what was happening or has happened that has changed him so dramatically but it was starting to scare her.

Laurent didn’t look her way either as he grabbed his phone and stomped passed them and down the steps. Nova ran to Larissa’s aid as she began to weep louder, she didn’t want the other finding out about this or it’d be a bloodbath. She picked up Larissa’s head cradling her neck like a newborn baby quietly shushing her into silence. When she calmed down Nova helped her stand to her feet and took her to her room to take care of her face.

Laurent got downstairs and Mira was setting up the table placing the silverware everywhere. She looked at Laurent coming down the steps and noticed something different about him. His walk was meaner, his face was stone and he looked…bigger. He’s gained weight and didn’t even have to work out for it to be in all of the right places.

Laurent smirked as he didn’t even have to look at Mira to know she was staring at him. He was getting cockier by the day. “Don’t stare Mira you’ll go blind” he told her arrogantly. Mira rolled her eyes and finished her task so she could leave him alone with the witch hunter. Just as Laurent got down the steps the doorbell rang he smiled big before opening the door.

“There’s my beast!” Carter screamed out loud as she jumped into Laurent’s open arms. He hugged her back genuinely as the other girls watched from a top of the stairs. When they released each other Carter looked up and spotted the women, she waved happily “Hello ladies!” she greeted them.
